Prince Pampers the Escaping Consort

The night shrouded the earth. The moon was hazy and the shadows of the trees could be seen dancing in the air.

A ghostly figure shuttled back and forth in the middle of the white barracks, as if searching for something.

Soon, he found his target, looked around, and avoided the patrolling guards. He lifted the curtain and walked in.

Inside the tent stood a tall, armored general, his straight figure stretched out in the candlelight.

He stood on the spot, expressionless. The moment he saw the black shadow, he was still moved. His indifferent appearance made it seem as if he had anticipated everything and was waiting for someone to come.

As soon as the black shadow saw the general, it impatiently asked, "How did General Liu escape from Nanshui Country?"

That's right, this was Liu Peng's tent.

Liu Peng smiled lightly and didn't answer the black figure's question. Instead, he replied with a question, "General Liu came here late at night just to know this question.

The two of them looked at each other and understood.

Liu Peng knew that Liu Zhitian had come late at night to see him during the day to withdraw his troops, and Liu Zhitian also knew that Liu Peng wanted to use this opportunity to exchange for his wife's safety.

Previously, when they were discussing cooperation, they had planned to mutually benefit each other. But in the end, just in case, he had kept a hand and grabbed Liu Peng's wife, using that to coerce him into obediently following orders.

Previously, he had heard that Liu Peng was a stubborn rock that refused to give in to force. However, he just had to eat until he fell in love. His wife was the only weakness he had.

"We are all smart people. If we act according to the original plan, I will release your wife." With a weakness in hand, of course Liu Zhitian was confident.

He didn't believe that Liu Peng would use his wife's life to joke around.

If he wanted to, he could. If he went too far, the price wasn't something he could afford.

"General Liu, aren't you afraid that the emperor and Prince Lin will know of our scheme?" You must know that this was all your idea and this general is only cooperating. " Liu Peng smiled playfully, but he didn't understand the meaning behind his smile.

Liu Zhitian frowned slightly. He was somewhat puzzled. What did Liu Peng mean by this?

Could it be that the possibility of exposing him in front of Nangong Xiao was very low? Liu Peng treated his wife like a treasure and doted on her, so he definitely would not harm her in the slightest.

"I think General Liu is a person who refuses to drink wine until the end. Do you want to see his wife break a finger or an ear so that you can cooperate?" "You should know that if you push me too far, I'll be able to do anything. To me, she's just a chess piece and an item. This general won't cherish her that much." Liu Zhitian's tone was very calm, as if he was discussing with Liu Peng what to eat tonight. Which dish was better?

To use such words to describe such a cruel thing, yet to force himself to act so boldly.

He was indeed worthy of being an elder of the Southern Water Country. If he didn't have a certain level of ability, how could he have his current status?

"General Liu, have you ever thought about what would happen if you forced me into a corner?" Liu Peng's reaction was very calm. He didn't get angry from the excitement, nor did he go forward to wave his fist.

Liu Zhitian looked at Liu Peng in surprise. He had expected Liu Peng's reaction to this. Some became angry from embarrassment, some became angry, and some started negotiating to retreat. However, he had never expected Liu Peng to be so calm.

His calmness was somewhat abnormal, allowing him to smell traces of conspiracy.

"General Liu, do you think you have the qualifications to bargain with me?" He had finally come to the point.

Liu Peng and Liu Zhitian were not on the same seat at all.

Liu Peng, who was at a disadvantage, could only retreat to protect his wife's safety. He had already done so earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly changed his mind in the Southern Water Kingdom's main hall. He didn't mention Liu Zhitian's and Nangong Zhen's plans because he saw the love letter between him and his wife in Liu Zhitian's hands.

Liu Peng never thought that Liu Zhitian would be so despicable.

The emperor had always wanted to swallow the Southern Water Country, but he felt powerless. He felt that this was a great opportunity and planned to use the name of working with Liu Zhitian to truly invade the Southern Water Country. He never thought that the situation would develop to this stage.

Previously, he had indeed won the battle by relying on the information provided by Liu Zhitian. However, because his wife was firmly in his control, the current situation was difficult to deal with, much less swallow the Southern Water Country.

Fortunately, he was not stupid and had prepared a way out for himself.

"Oh, General Liu, have you ever thought that I would risk my life for you?"

When he said this, Liu Zhitian was immediately stunned. He never thought that Liu Peng would abandon his wife.

What did he mean by that for no reason at all?

"General Liu's bluffing is not bad." Liu Zhitian felt that all of this was just a scheme of Liu Peng's. He just wanted to have a bargaining chip with him.

"Oh, so that means, General Liu doesn't believe that I will retaliate?" Liu Peng smiled in ridicule. He thought, "This Liu Zhitian is too arrogant."

This was the reason why he had suffered such a crushing defeat.

Because he was too arrogant and the enemy was too powerful, in comparison, Liu Zhitian's only ending was to lose without a doubt.

Liu Zhitian saw the faint smile on Liu Peng's face. Although he felt that it was strange, his experience told him that this meticulous plan was absolutely foolproof. He could do it without worry and not be controlled by Liu Peng's words.

"This general would like to see how General Liu will fight back." Liu Zhitian frowned slightly and spoke with a cold tone.

"Alright, this general will let you experience it."

Upon saying that, a man and a woman walked in from outside the tent. Liu Peng and Liu Zhitian knew the couple, and not only did they know each other, they were also related to each other.

Even so, the two of them reacted differently when they saw the newcomer.

The moment Liu Peng saw them, his expression became even more relieved, as if he could unload his heavy burden.

As for Liu Zhitian, he was shocked and incredulous. His astute eyes stared widely.

He pointed at the girl and asked, "Why are you here?"

The woman smiled and replied, "Why can't I be here?"

"General Liu hasn't thought of this?" The man also opened his mouth and spoke. With just a sentence, all of Liu Zhitian's hopes were completely destroyed.

Liu Zhitian could never have imagined that he would see Yan Xiaoxi and Nangong Lin in Liu Peng's military camp. Nangong Lin was in the tent across from the Southern Water Kingdom, so it was reasonable for him to appear here. However, Yan Xiaoxi had clearly been sent to prison.

Could it be?

Immediately, a bad idea emerged in his mind.

"Prince Lin, Princess Lin." Liu Peng clasped his hands together and saluted the two of them.

"Is General Liu alright?" Nangong Lin asked.

Liu Peng nodded and replied, "Everything will be done according to plan."
