After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Chapter 459 I'll Leave You a Whole Corpse

Wujiang River.

After a fierce battle with Lu Mingcheng's army for three days and three nights, Lu Hanting retreated to the other side of the Wujiang River at the cost of losing 80,000 troops.

Inside the tent, Lu Hanting had a dark expression on his face.

"Your Highness, the soldiers in the army have lost their morale after this battle, and now our military supplies have been intercepted. What do you think?"

They thought they could easily take over the capital, and even storm the palace and capture the emperor.

Who knew that Lu Mingcheng would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Because he was not very familiar with the enemy general, the crown prince made a misjudgment and Lu Mingcheng gained the upper hand.

Fortunately, the crown prince later adjusted the army's battle plan, and the two sides were deadlocked for three days and three nights before finally retreating to the other side of the Wujiang River.

Across the vast Wujiang River, soldiers from both sides were resting.

However, because they were on enemy territory, and their supplies had been intercepted by the enemy yesterday.

Although the army still has surplus rations, if they cannot achieve victory in a short time, then I fear...

Most people believed that they should temporarily retreat to Nanzhao and wait for the army to rest and recuperate before attacking Wei.

Those people dared not persuade their master, so they sent Liuyun to do so.

After Liu Yun voiced her thoughts, Lu Hanting drew his sword with a dark expression.

"Pass on my order: in this battle, we can only advance, and must not retreat even half a step!"

Lu Hanting's sharp eyes swept over Liu Yun.

"Anyone who disobeys this order will be treated as a deserter!"

Hearing the prince's words, Liu Yun felt a chill run down her spine.

It seems the Crown Prince has truly been dealt a blow.

"Yes, prince!"

Just as Liu Yun left, Ru Feng entered.

"Your Highness, Luo Bin requests an audience!"

Lu Hanting frowned.

"Let him in!"

A short while later, Luo Bin arrived.

After the others entered, the servants threw the sack containing the 'things' onto the ground.

"Envoy Lu, I have brought the person!"

Lu Hanting looked up in surprise and saw Luo Bin step forward and untie the rope of the sack.

"Well……"

"Jiang Yang, you pervert, if you have the guts, kill me..."

As soon as the seal on her mouth was removed, Liu Shuning cursed at Jiang Yang, the culprit.

When Jiang Yang removed the gauze from her eyes, she stared wide-eyed at Lu Hanting.

"Shi, Shizi..."

Seeing the farce unfolding before him, Lu Hanting frowned and looked at Luo Bin.

What did she just call you?

Jiang Yang immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, I am indeed Jiang Yang, He Yuyan's ex-husband, Jiang Yang, a scholar from Tongzhou!"

When Jiang Yang wrote the letter to Lu Hanting, he knew that he could not hide his identity.

So he was gambling, gambling that Lu Hanting didn't care about He Yuyan.

"Heh, you have some nerve, you actually dare to come see me!"

Seeing the familiar face before him, Lu Hanting was furious.

Well done! These people all think I'm a fool, daring to try and fool me!

"Your Highness, I truly did not mean to conceal this from you."

I just happened to be staying at the Liu residence and originally intended to leave the capital.

However, I inadvertently discovered the Liu family's dark secrets, which is why I reported He Yuyan's secret to you. That's all!

After years of studying, the academic achievements I had worked so hard to attain were stripped of my position by a single sentence from these self-righteous people.

How could Jiang Yang be willing to accept this?

But the person in front of him was the one who had harmed him. Even though he harbored hatred in his heart, he had to pretend to submit to him now.

"You're talking nonsense. You're hiding something. You know perfectly well what you're after, that you changed your name and came to the capital.

I see you not only want revenge on me, but also on the Crown Prince…

After gaining her freedom, He Yuyan immediately retorted, not one to back down.

"Yan'er, you're wrong. I came to the capital just to get a government position for myself."

Now that I know that Your Highness aspires to great things, I am willing to follow in Your Highness's footsteps and be at your service.

If successful, Jiang Yang congratulates the Crown Prince on achieving his great ambition. If not… Jiang Yang will be content; that is all!

Jiang Yang looked at Lu Hanting with an open and honest expression.

He was gambling that Lu Hanting wouldn't bother with someone as insignificant as him and would be willing to keep him.

Hearing Jiang Yang's words, Lu Hanting's lips curled up slightly.

This guy is truly a born sycophant, but he's also quite interesting.

Lu Hanting looked at Ru Feng.

"Ru Feng, take him away!"

Watching the two figures leave, Liu Shuning asked incredulously, "Your Highness, why did you keep someone like him around?"

Aren't you afraid that one day he might have malicious intentions and kill you when you're not looking?

Lu Hanting's sharp gaze swept over Liu Shuning.

"I wish he had the guts, but do you think he has the ability?"

Seeing Lu Hanting's nonchalant attitude, Liu Shuning fell silent for a moment.

"Speaking of which, Liu Shuning, you haven't forgotten what you did, have you?"

Seeing that Lu Hanting had finally remembered this matter, Liu Shuning's body went limp and she collapsed at Lu Hanting's feet.

"Your Highness, Yan'er did this not to harm you, but to help you!"

"help me?"

Lu Hanting looked at Liu Shuning with a sinister gaze.

"Are you helping me or hurting me?"

"Your Highness, I swear to God, I am truly helping you!"

Think about it, if it weren't for my letter of complaint that day, you would probably still be dragging your feet and not taking any action.

"At this rate, when will your grand undertaking ever be completed?"

"Hahaha……"

Lu Hanting was so angry at Liu Shuning's words that he laughed.

He used his sword to lift Liu Shuning's delicate chin.

"So, I should thank you for all of this?"

After all, if it weren't for her, he would probably still be sitting peacefully in the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion.

The Marquis of Dingguo's family would not have ended up in prison.

Seeing the sharp, white sword tip on her chin, Liu Shuning's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Highness, Yan'er truly meant well for you..."

"Humph! You still dare to quibble!"

With a gentle stroke from Lu Hanting, a bloody mark appeared on Liu Shuning's fair chin.

"Sir..."

Liu Shuning clutched her chin in pain, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Seeing the tears welling up in her eyes, Lu Hanting seemed to see the figure of He Yuyan from the past.

But so what?

Liu Shuning dared to denounce him to the emperor, so why should he care about their past friendship?

"Liu Shuning, I don't care if you are the daughter of the Liu family or the real He Yuyan, since you did this, you should have thought about the consequences."

"I'll give you a chance. If you honestly reveal Vera's whereabouts, I'll spare your life today!"

"Hahaha! A complete corpse?"

Liu Shuning was so angry at this remark that she laughed.

She does not deny that she made the report because she was angry and lost control at the time.

Ultimately, she did want to push Lu Hanting to accelerate his rebellion.

In his previous life, Lu Hanting did indeed seize the throne and become the king of this world. Even if he failed, with his luck, he would definitely have a chance to make a comeback!

But now, he's not thinking about how to conquer the world.

He still couldn't stop thinking about that bitch Wu Weiwei.
