Chapter 339 Smash the Dog's Head!

"Captain! Captain! Captain!" The old emperor grew increasingly angry as he heard his son spout "Captain! Captain!" He couldn't help but raise his voice and scold, "I never knew that the Crown Prince would listen to a woman's orders in everything he did in the North, showing no independent thought and acting haphazardly!"

"You unfilial son, didn't you used to put on such an arrogant and aloof act before me? As if nothing in the world could break the rules you set. But what about now? Where has your unbridled and willful behavior gone? How come you now let a woman make all the decisions?"

The crown prince glanced at the old emperor with amusement, revealing a nonchalant look, "You talk as if you know me very well?"

"You and I, father and son, have exchanged more than three hundred words over the years? You mistakenly believe you understand me well, but how could you possibly know what I'm thinking?"

The prince took Xin Nian's hand and shook it in front of his father, saying, "The Icefield Base belongs to the captain."

"For now, the captain's father is temporarily managing things. As for you... if you want to enter the base, you must get the captain's approval."

The old emperor and the others all turned their gazes toward Xin Nian.

Xin Nian raised her chin, coldly refusing, "I disagree."

Xiao Jinzhi immediately chimed in, "You all heard that the captain disagrees. Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's not too late to turn back now, otherwise you'll lose the opportunity."

Xin Nian nodded. "To tell you the truth, the base can only issue a maximum of one hundred number plates per day. Moreover, outsiders need to undergo inspection and be observed outside the base for about two months before they can enter."

"Currently, entry to the base is free, but once all the buildings within the base are completed, entry will require payment of supplies."

The group exchanged glances, their mood quite unpleasant.

The old emperor was so enraged that he fell off his horse, roaring in fury, "You brought so much manpower and resources from the capital, and in the end, this base still belongs to someone else?!"

"What do you mean 'someone else's'!" the crown prince retorted angrily. "This is our own home. It's just that our home has nothing to do with you!"

Xin Nian nodded repeatedly, giving the Crown Prince a look that said, "We're family," while rolling her eyes at the Emperor countless times.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down." Prince Subei whispered a few words of advice, then turned to look at Xin Nian and Xiao Jinzhi, frowning and taking a deep breath, "Your Highness, and this young lady as well."

"We have come here with the utmost sincerity, wanting to join your... base."

"Icefield Base"

"Yes, yes, I wish to join the Icefield Base. I humbly request Your Highness to consider the bond between you and His Majesty, father and son, and make some leniency."

The old emperor glared at his son with a fierce expression, as if to say, "If you don't agree, I'll kill you."

“Our base has its own rules and regulations,” Xiao Jinzhi replied with a wooden face. “As mentioned before, we are only issuing one hundred number plates per day. If the number exceeds the limit, you will have to wait until tomorrow.”

The old emperor's face darkened.

Then the Crown Prince continued, "However, there is another way to enter the city quickly, it just depends on whether you are willing to do so."

"We're willing, we're all willing." Before the emperor and the Prince of Subei could speak, a group of officials and their families, who looked like beggars, couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Prince Subei's eyelids twitched; he had a feeling the Crown Prince had nothing good to say.

As expected, the Crown Prince suddenly smiled and said, "If you are willing to sign a contract of servitude and become slaves to our captain, we can make an exception for you and handle this as a special case."

Everyone stared in astonishment, as if they were seeing this exceptionally handsome Crown Prince for the first time, their expressions all showing a hint of shock. Xin Nian's eyes lit up, her gaze sweeping over the group of young guards behind the Prince of Subei, and she nodded, "They're alright, but their physiques are a bit weak, far inferior to the robust young men under Commander Hong."

The emperor was so angry he was about to have an epileptic seizure. His finger trembled as he pointed at the crown prince and the little girl, "You brought the Imperial Guard Commander Hong Feng here too?"

"More than that," the Crown Prince replied expressionlessly. "There's also Wei Chi, whom you know well. He used to guard the treasury and is now the Right Commander of the Thousand Machine Guard."

"You!!" What an unfilial son! This rebellious child! I'm deliberately trying to anger him to death.

The emperor clutched his chest, feeling breathless.

"Alright, stop pretending. You've come here to openly infiltrate our base, then coordinate with the Prince of Jin's rebels to launch a pincer attack!"

When the old emperor saw his son open his mouth and reveal all their biggest ambitions, he was so angry that his vision went black and he fainted.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Consort Qian cried as she supported the emperor, looking around at the crowd with a sense of helplessness.

His son, Xiao Yongfan, was also extremely anxious. He turned to Xiao Jinzhi with a disapproving look and said, "Sixth brother, how can you speak so bluntly? Look how angry you've made Father Emperor."

Xiao Jinzhi glanced at him, her tone laced with sarcasm, "What, is telling the truth so unpleasant now?"

“You came with ulterior motives, and you know best what you want.”

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Subei suddenly smiled.

He took a few steps forward, gripping the long sword in his hand, then suddenly became too lazy to continue pretending. "Your Highness, it's been several months, and you're not as calm and unpredictable as before."

“In the past, you wouldn’t have brought this up so quickly. After all, it’s obvious that there’s a huge disparity in strength between us.” Prince Subei pointed his sword behind him and then glanced at Xiao Jinzhi and Xin Nian with disdain.

More than two thousand soldiers stepped forward solemnly, drawing their weapons in unison, ready for fierce battle at any moment.

Xiao Jinzhi smiled slightly at him, "Then guess why I am so confident and unafraid of you?"

"Why?" Prince Subei's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered, "This old minister does not need to guess, he knows that Your Highness has been misled by the words of treacherous people, which has led to your drastic change in temperament."

"Of course, you are certainly not at fault. The fault lies with those close to you. Lately, someone has been whispering in your ear, causing you to disrespect even His Majesty, becoming frivolous and impetuous, and showing no regard for anyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to raise his hand to order the soldiers to come forward and arrest the person when a slender figure appeared before him like a ghost.

The Prince of Subei is too confident.

He was arrogant and thought that how could a man and a woman in front of him possibly withstand their more than two thousand soldiers?

Now, before I could even see anything clearly, a shout came rushing closer on the wind.

"You old bastard, you talk too much nonsense and you even dare to insult the little fat guy I protect! Watch me smash your dog head in!"

A heavy blow landed on the head, leaving the Prince of Subei dazed and confused.

Before he could even react, his head was slammed to the side, and he was sent flying through the air, soaring over the gaping crowd and flying freely for a distance.

He then fell freely, crashing heavily onto the wasteland, his mouth full of mud, his head and face covered in blood.
