In terms of poison, no one could beat Jiang Pengji.
Not only was her mouth poisonous, but her ability to invert right and wrong was something that others could only look up to.
It was the third prince who intercepted the Right Chief Minister's trusted aide and took the opportunity to assassinate her.
She made it sound like the Right Chief Minister and the third prince had sent their own messengers.
She accepted the Third Prince's surrender and promised that if the Third Prince helped her to take down King City, she would spare his life.
Seeing that the deal was about to be concluded, the Right Chief Minister also sent his men to surrender.
Who knew that the surrender was fake and the assassination was real.
She was lucky to escape. In her anger, she killed both of them. One of them was burned to ashes and the other was hung outside the camp.
The Third Prince had never imagined that Jiang Pengji would lie. She was trying to force him to his death!
The sixth prince glared at the third prince. His eyes were vicious and sinister, as if he wanted to skin the third prince alive.
The eldest prince saw the situation and quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
Anyone could betray the third prince, but not the third prince.
"Please calm down, Acting Prince. You have a deep brotherhood with my third brother. You know him very well. How could he betray the country?"
The sixth prince sneered. "Isn't the man hanging in Liu Xi's camp the third prince's trusted aide?"
The eldest prince was speechless. He quickly looked at the Right Chief Minister.
The Right Chief Minister, Suhasa's heart skipped a beat. His plump cheeks were covered in sticky sweat. He was terrified.
He knew that if he proved that the third prince did not betray the north borderline, he would be admitting that he had betrayed the north borderline.
For the sake of his own life, he could only insist that the third prince had sent his trusted aide to the enemy. He had sent his aide to assassinate Liu Xi.
The eldest prince threatened, "Right Chief Minister, think carefully before you speak …"
He did not have a good relationship with the third prince, but he could not allow him to be slandered to death.
The Right Chief Minister Suhasa secretly clenched his teeth, but his words indirectly sentenced the Third Prince to death. "Last night, I sent my trusted subordinates to assassinate that traitor Liu. Unfortunately, that traitor Liu was treacherous and had countless masters guarding him, so the assassination failed. I don't know anything else. "
As soon as the Right Minister's voice fell, the Third Prince's face turned pale. The scene in front of him was dim and uncertain. His legs were weak and he almost couldn't stand straight.
"Good — you are really my good brother —" The Sixth Prince laughed in anger and pointed at the Third Prince. "Guards —"
"Now that we are facing a great enemy, we brothers should work together to fight against that traitor Liu. How can we fight among ourselves and harm ourselves?" The First Prince tried to stop him. "Acting King, you can't trust the words of that traitor Liu. Didn't that demoness set up a scheme to make you kill Third Brother? "
The Sixth Prince was so enraged that half of his face had turned ashen.
"How dare you! Are you the substitute king, or am I the substitute king? There's no place for you to speak here, back off — "
The First Prince had no choice but to retreat.
Although the Third Prince was not killed on the spot, he was arrested and imprisoned.
"Third Brother, I will think of a way to protect you — Sixth Brother is no longer reliable, he has already gone mad —"
The eldest prince secretly went to the prison to comfort the third prince.
The Third Prince sneered and declined to comment.
After the First Prince left, the smile on the corner of the Third Prince's mouth gradually widened. His laughter overflowed from his throat, and the volume of his voice went from low to high and crazy.
"Northern Borderline is going to perish — it's really going to perish — Master, I can't protect Northern Borderline — I'm useless —"
The Third Prince had laughed enough. His crimson eyes were dripping with turbid tears. His strength seemed to have been sucked out of his body as he slumped to the ground.
He took out a dagger from his pocket and pulled out the blade.
He had already foreseen the end of Northern Borderline, but he did not want to see it fall into the hands of the enemy. It was better to end his life before that happened.
At least before he died, that traitor Liu had not succeeded, and Northern Borderline had not changed hands.
In the underworld, he would still have some face to see his Master.
The dagger drew a white light in the air, and the sharp blade pierced straight into his chest. Sharp pain spread to his limbs and bones.
The veins on the Third Prince's forehead bulged, and his bloodshot eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness.
His life was rapidly draining from his body.
"Report — His Highness has committed suicide in the prison —"
The First Prince heard the news and was so shocked that his mind went blank.
Third Brother … committed suicide?
The Sixth Prince's reaction was similar, but he asked a question.
"Third Brother really … committed suicide to escape punishment?"
The Third Prince still had a younger brother who tricked his brother — the Fifth Prince.
Although the Fifth Prince was very stupid and had always been a hindrance to his brother, when he heard the news of his brother's death, he immediately rushed to the palace to make a scene.
The Imperial Court was in a mess, and the Right Chief Minister was uneasy. Only the real culprit was still laughing at the situation.
Feng Zhen and the others had always felt that they were ruthless enough, but when it came to their lord, they felt that they were still far from it.
She got rid of a thorn in her side without any bloodshed. Who else could it be!
It was a pity that such a lord did not become a counselor.
Sun Wen sighed faintly. "Meeting the lord, Northern Borderline's fate has come to an end —"
Although it was said that the winner took all and the loser was in the wrong, there was still the feeling of the fox mourning the death of the rabbit. It was rare for Northern Borderline to have two smart people, but they both died under the lord's schemes.
Wei Ci said, "The lord is the Child of Destiny. Northern Borderline fighting against her will naturally lead to death."
Sun Wen looked up at Wei Ci. The other's expression was very calm, without the slightest hint of flattery.
"The Child of Destiny?"
"Unifying the world and dominating the Nine States," Wei Ci said. "Do you not believe me?"
Sun Wen chuckled and stroked his beard. "If that's the case, I've made a huge profit. I've made a huge bet."
No matter how tragic the Third Prince's death was, he was just an enemy. Wei Ci and the others did not have the time to pity him.
The army rested for two days and prepared to attack Northern Borderline again.
When the loud horn sounded, hundreds of thousands of soldiers surrounded King City. Everyone in the city was in a state of panic.
"Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince are not dead yet — what does that traitor Liu mean by this?"
Sixth Prince, who had a pair of thick dark circles under his eyes, questioned the officials in an irritable manner.
The officials were anxious, and only after a long while did one person step forward.
This person said in a trembling voice, "Acting King — that traitor Liu ordered people to cut the ropes on the two princes —"
Sixth Prince was so shocked that his face turned pale.
Three days had passed. Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince were extremely tenacious. They had not breathed their last and even had some consciousness left.
"Military Counselor Feng, those two are still breathing —"
Feng Zhen put his hands in his sleeves and closed his eyes slightly. He sneered. "Still breathing? Cut the ropes and they're not breathing anymore. "
The soldier's heart skipped a beat. He obeyed and climbed up the archer tower.
Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince were still in a daze. When they heard that they were going to cut the ropes, their eyes lit up.
Eighth Prince coughed up blood and said in a hoarse voice, "Traitor Liu — how dare you go back on your word —"
Although Seventh Prince did not say anything, his expression was also crazed.
The soldier ignored the two of them and cut the ropes with his sword.
The archer tower was extremely tall. Even a living person would die if they jumped down, let alone Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince who were on their last breath.
When the two corpses landed on the ground, Jiang Pengji pulled out the sword from her waist and pointed it at King City of Northern Borderline.
