If you're made a fake emperor, why did you change the country's name?

"Report!"

A soldier hurried into the tent and knelt on one knee.

"Your Highness, the brothers on patrol just reported that they have made a discovery in the woods to the east."

Xiaoyue Jinshang waved his hand dismissively.

"What trivial matters are you bothering me with?"

"Let them handle it themselves."

Tuoba Hu felt something was amiss and stepped forward to take the secret letter handed to him by the soldier.

He unfolded the letter, glanced at it, and frowned.

"Your Highness, you should take a look."

Tuoba Hu presented the secret letter.

"It is a team suspected of transporting city-breaking crossbows."

"A city-destroying crossbow?"

Xiao Yue Jin Shang looked away from the mirror and asked, puzzled:

"Wasn't that a trump card that Father had been gathering two years ago?"

"How did it end up here?"

Tuoba Hu lowered his voice and voiced his guess.

"Your Highness, could it be that Erzilang suffered a setback at the hands of the Emperor of Daliang, so Lord Wolf specially transferred this creature to support him?"

"impossible!"

Xiaoyue Jinshang immediately denied it.

"This contest was proposed by my father himself. Once the Wolf Lord's order was given, unless it is abolished, who dares to disobey? Who can disobey?"

"But if that's not the case, how can it be explained?"

Tuoba Hu retorted, "Why did this thing have to appear now of all times?"

Xiaoyue Jinshang hesitated.

He said it was impossible, but inside he was very anxious.

He knew that if his father really supported Xiaoyue Jinquan with this item, then there would be no suspense in this competition, and he would definitely lose.

"Your Highness, perhaps... we should intercept the goods first and assess the situation before making any further decisions?"

Tuoba Hu tentatively made a suggestion.

"this……"

Xiaoyue Jinshang wanted to refuse, but he swallowed the words back.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will grow wildly.

After hesitating for a while, I finally gritted my teeth and agreed.

"Alright! Gather your men and follow me!"

..................... ..

Under the cover of night, a convoy of unmarked Wolf Kingdom soldiers was escorting several large carts along a forest path, moving silently forward.

The cargo on the truck was completely covered by thick tarpaulins, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Suddenly, shadows stirred in the woods, and countless torches lit up.

A large group of Wolf Kingdom soldiers rushed out from both sides and surrounded the small team. The newcomers were also wearing Wolf Kingdom armor.

ta ta ta ......

Xiaoyue Jinshang rode his horse slowly to the front.

Upon recognizing the newcomers, the leading general spurred his horse forward and bowed to Xiaoyue Jinquan.

"Greetings, Your Highness, the Seventh Prince Wolf."

"What brings Your Highness to stop us so late at night?"

Xiaoyue Jinshang's gaze passed over him and landed on the several large vehicles that were tightly covered, and his expression was very unpleasant.

What was being transported in the vehicle?

The general remained expressionless.

"Your Highness, we are acting on the orders of the Wolf Lord. Please do not make things difficult for us."

"On my father's orders?"

Xiaoyue Jinshang sneered.

"Then I shall ask you, where did Father command you to transport these things?"

The general hesitated for a moment.

Although this matter was confidential, the other party was, after all, one of the Seven Wolves, so he couldn't completely hide it from them.

"Transported to the Erzilang camp."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue Jinshang's expression darkened completely.

A surge of anger welled up inside him, and he could no longer contain himself, shouting:

"Guards! Seize all these goods for me!"

"Your Highness!"

The general was terrified and quickly blocked the carriage.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean?"

Xiaoyue Jinshang rode forward, looking at him with contempt and a sinister smile on his face.

"What do you mean?"

"These things will be kept by Second Brother for now!"

"Your Highness! This is the Wolf Lord's order, and what about the Wolf Lord...?"

The general tried to use the name of the Wolf Lord to pressure him, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"I will explain to my father myself!"

Xiaoyue Jinshang had lost his patience and let out an angry shout.

"Let's do it!"

The soldiers behind him swarmed forward, quickly disarmed the squad, and tied them up.

Xiaoyue Jinshang dismounted, walked to a large cart, and ripped off the canvas covering it.

The canvas fell down, revealing a massive siege crossbow made of black crystal.

The crossbow was jet black, with a complex structure, and exuded a chilling aura.

It's the city-destroying crossbow!

Xiaoyue Jinshang's expression turned even uglier.

"Excellent! What a brilliant move by Xiaoyue Jinquan!"

"Not only did they steal my red cannon, but now they've made a mistake and are even asking my father for help!"

He immediately let out a sinister laugh.

"Don't you like to steal my cannons?"

"Then I'll steal your city-destroying crossbow!"

He waved his hand.

"Move everything back to the camp for me!"

Seeing Xiaoyue Jinshang's triumphant appearance, the followers behind him were greatly encouraged and shouted:

"Your Highness is mighty!"

………….

Meanwhile, in the camp of the two wolves.

Inside the central command tent.

Wolf Lord took off his armor and changed into casual clothes. He glanced at Xiaoyue Jinquan, who was standing to the side with an unhappy expression.

"A few harsh words have made you so depressed?"

"You're so young; if you can't even tolerate a few harsh words, how can you expect to achieve anything great in the future?"

Xiaoyue Jinquan quickly stood up and bowed.

"Father's words are correct. Your subject is not in a state of mind, but is thinking about how to arrange the battle tomorrow so that the Emperor of Liang can understand the might of the Wolf Kingdom's army."

The Wolf Lord nodded, acknowledging his statement.

He sat cross-legged at the table and gestured for the person opposite him to sit down as well.

After Xiaoyue and Jin Quan sat down, the Wolf Lord began to comment:

"That Zhao Yu is indeed quite capable. He can build those cannons and those black lumps from last time. These are not the work of ordinary people."

What's even more remarkable is that he was able to relay the message to both Qin and Wang Mang immediately when you were besieging the city, thus securing their support and ensuring your strength.

The wolf lord paused for a moment, then voiced his doubts.

"I had always felt that his arrangements were too far ahead of their time. Today, standing beneath the city walls, I finally understood the reason behind it."

Xiaoyue Jinquan raised his head.

"What does Father mean?"

The wolf lord looked at him.

"There are only a handful of people who have access to information about the release of the City-Destroying Crossbows. Besides you and me, there are only a handful of people."

"But the Emperor of Liang is also aware that we've deployed special weapons. Don't you find that strange?"

Xiaoyue Jinquan's expression changed; he had also realized what was happening.

How was the information leaked?

"No wonder Zhao Yu dared to propose a decisive battle tomorrow; he was afraid our city-destroying crossbows would arrive!"

"good."

The wolf lord nodded.

"There's no need to worry about equipment. The city-destroying crossbows will arrive at your camp by tonight at the latest."

"But this incident proves something else."

The wolf lord's tone turned somewhat cold.

"There are people in the Wolf Kingdom who are secretly colluding with the Emperor of Liang! So the news was spread as soon as the weapons were transported out of the armory, giving Zhao Yu time to prepare."

"What?"

Xiaoyue Jinquan was greatly shocked.

"Even in this wolf kingdom, there are traitors!"

The wolf lord, sensing something keenly, frowned slightly and asked:

"Anything else? You mean, besides the Wolf Kingdom, there are other traitors?"
