Envoys? Envoys are exactly who we're killing! Tang falls! The King of Tang coughs up blood!

"Lord Xu even turned the people of Tang against their own kingdom?"

The Marquis of Sheyang truly did not know what to say.

He knew Xu Qingxiao was formidable.

But he had never imagined Xu Qingxiao would even turn Tang's soldiers and officers against their own kingdom.

This really was beyond his expectations.

"Marquis, you have no idea how impressive Lord Xu is! Back when the Fan Kingdom was destroyed, Lord Xu had already contacted us in secret."

"Of course we willingly followed Great Wei. Marquis, you have no idea—we never wanted to rebel in the first place. Those bastards forced us into it."

"So when Lord Xu offered us amnesty, we agreed immediately. Those damned dogs, those accursed foreign races, treated us as soldiers to send to our deaths. We never got a share of the benefits, but they made us do all the dirty work."

"Lord Xu told us to turn people in Tang, but he also told us to choose suitable targets. We watched for several days and finally discovered that Tang's second prince deeply resented the crown prince."

"So we..."

The man was rather long-winded and gave a rough account of the whole affair. The Marquis of Sheyang wanted to hear it, yet did not-the fellow simply talked too much.

So he interrupted him.

"You turned the second prince?"

The Marquis of Sheyang asked.

"No, we turned the tenth prince."

"Marquis, please hear this guilty servant out. Our original target really was the second prince. We secretly informed Lord Xu, but Lord Xu told us not to turn the second prince. Instead, we were to choose the prince with the least hope of ascending the throne."

"Lord Xu meant that, although the second prince resented the eldest prince, he was capable and understood right from wrong.
