The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 617 The Contingency Plan Left Behind

The soldiers in front immediately and decisively withdrew, and Lan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a man arrived at this place, and upon closer inspection, it was Li Wenzhong's son, Li Jinglong, and Xu Da's son, Xu Zengshou.

Lan Yu was extremely surprised when she looked at the two little ones.

"Why are there two of you here? You should be far away from me, how did you end up in this place!"

The two looked at each other and then smiled.

"Our arrival in this place was all arranged by His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince sent us a letter, saying he was worried that something might happen and asked us to come and provide support just in case. I never imagined these guys were so insidious!"

"They actually did something like that!"

Lan Yu nodded after hearing this, his face looking extremely grim.

"I've dominated my entire life, yet I've fallen into the hands of this brat! I never imagined that the fourth prince of the Timurid Empire, Arthus Timur, would be such a hidden wolf!"

"But it doesn't matter, I'll have to meet him properly when I have the chance!"

When these people returned, they frowned upon seeing the numerous corpses below. Only after opening the gates of the camp did they realize that the Timurid Empire's army had indeed taken this opportunity to attack.

However, their attack yielded little benefit, so they withdrew immediately.

When they got back, Lan Yu felt ashamed looking at the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying, who was sitting at the front.

He never expected that he would actually fall into an ambush.

"Your Highness, I suffered heavy losses due to the ambush by the Fourth Prince Artesius Timur, which I failed to anticipate. I beg Your Highness to punish me!"

Zhu Xiong Ying shook his head after hearing this.

"Neither you nor I noticed this, so it's not your responsibility!"

"I didn't expect this guy to be so well-hidden. It seems we'll have to deal with him properly from now on!"

At this moment, the grandson Zhu Xiong Ying looked at Li Jinglong and Xu Zengshou beside him and nodded in satisfaction.

"These two men have followed Li Wenzhong in battles across the country during this period, and their abilities have improved remarkably!"

This made him very satisfied.

"I know that you two have won many battles. Not bad, not bad."

You will surely become the pillars of our Great Ming Dynasty!

The two were extremely excited upon hearing Zhu Xiong Ying's words. At this moment, Lan Yu said with some reluctance.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"We've suffered such a huge loss, we absolutely must get revenge!"

Grandson Zhu Xiong Ying nodded.

"Don't worry, we will definitely avenge this!"

"However, compared to us, there should be someone who is even more anxious than us!"

When Arthus Timur returned, he was somewhat surprised to find that their camp had also been attacked. "Interesting, they had the same idea as me!"

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've encountered such an opponent. They're much better than those useless fools in our Timurid Empire!"

"Order the troops to guard all the key transportation points, and then inform the people back home of this news, so that those guys back home will be quite shocked!"

The news quickly reached China.

The emperor of Timur's empire was deeply worried. He did not think that the Western Hills camp could hold out for long. His fourth son was not very capable and was of no use. Sending him there was only to comfort the soldiers at the front. However, he knew very well that this method was not very effective. The enemy would eventually attack.

Just then, a cavalryman ran over excitedly and shouted loudly.

"The Ming army that we defeated has suffered heavy losses!"

Inside the Timurid Empire's military camp, everyone was stunned upon hearing this news, their faces filled with disbelief. Clearly, none of them had anticipated this situation. In their view, the enemy's strength was formidable; even their main force was no match for them. Could a mere alliance of a few small tribes really defeat the Ming army? The Timurid Emperor frowned upon hearing this, somewhat puzzled. However, when he took the battle report from the man before him, he was filled with excitement.

"Hahaha!"

"As expected of my son, he actually has this hidden skill. Not bad, not bad. This time we will definitely win!"

Everyone was very curious and wondered what had happened.

When the emperor of the Timurid Empire revealed the matter, everyone gasped in shock. They never imagined that the fourth prince, Artesius Timur, who had always kept a low profile, would possess such abilities.

The other princes also looked extremely grim.

They had been fighting each other for that position for a long time, but no one paid any attention to the fourth one.

Unexpectedly, this teacher was the one who had been hiding the deepest secret, and had actually taken control of all the troops there. Thinking about this, they felt very regretful, knowing that the troops there were numerous enough to take down all these tribes.

Adding to his hidden power, it's quite possible that he'll be the one to take that position. The expressions on everyone's faces turned grim. At this moment, a prince stepped forward and said...

"Father, my fourth brother's achievements are all thanks to your guidance!"

"However, my fourth brother is still young and has never been on the battlefield, so..."

Why don't I go to the front lines to help him? I've led troops in battles before, and there are quite a few in the Hezhong region.

"I've taken all these territories; with me here, I will absolutely not let the Ming Dynasty advance an inch!"

Upon seeing this, the other princes immediately burst into curses, saying that this guy was really fast at snatching things.

So one by one, they stood up and spoke up.

"We have also been through countless battles and possess considerable strength. Let us go to Xishan and join forces with the Fourth Prince's forces. With unified command, we will surely be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty!"

The emperor of Timur frowned as he looked at his sons.

He was well aware of their ulterior motives, but so what? All his sons were very successful, especially his fourth son, who had given him such a big surprise.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said.

"With Fourth Brother guarding the West Mountain camp, there shouldn't be any problems. Of course, if you want to help, that's fine too, but remember not to cause trouble, or else you'll be ruthless!"

The princes were overjoyed upon hearing this, and quickly nodded in agreement before turning and leaving the place.
