Chapter 5244: No Matter What

"Your Excellency only needs to do your own job well. The other things will naturally be done by the left and right armies. His Highness did not blame you for this defeat, but felt that there were many pawns of the eldest prince in the rear army."

It turned out that even the second princess did not suspect Ye Wudao, but suspected that there was a problem with the intelligence of the rear army. It was because of the early leakage of intelligence that led to this defeat.

In fact, it was also indirectly saying that someone under Qi Ruhai betrayed and the news leaked. If these hidden pawns were to be sent out, it would take a long time and might not be dispatched.

In this case, the second princess would not care whether these pawns were dispatched or not. Letting Qi Ruhai sit firmly as the general of the rear army and provide intelligence in real time would also have a significant effect.

If they continued to torment Ye Wudao and did not get Ye Wudao off the position of commander, but forced Ye Wudao to stand firmly on the side of the eldest prince, it would be equivalent to completely losing control of the rear army, which would be even more disadvantageous to them.

In the end, the second princess chose a more prudent way, stopped suppressing and framing Ye Wudao, began to win over Ye Wudao, and asked Qi Ruhai not to be so high-profile and fight Ye Wudao to the death.

"I..." Qi Ruhai wanted to say more, but the messenger's face was already unhappy.

The messenger said directly: "Your Excellency should have some self-awareness of your own abilities. You are not fighting with Ye Wudao. It is obviously the eldest prince's people who are exerting their strength. Otherwise, Ye Wudao, who has no roots and no wings, should have stepped down from the position of commander long ago."

"Your Highness will not be angry if you can't beat the eldest prince, but if you insist on continuing, then Your Highness may really be angry."

Qi Ruhai's face suddenly became helpless, and he sighed and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll listen to your Highness."

The messenger said, "I hope your Highness can really listen to you. Your Highness should know that your wife, children, and dealings with evil cultivators... In short, be careful."

"When your Highness sits on the throne in the future, if you behave well, then nothing will matter."

After leaving this threat, the messenger swaggered away.

Qi Ruhai was furious, and his face was trembling. He clenched his fists, and his eyes could not hide the murderous intent.

The matter of his wife and children was nothing, because the second princess did not dare to kill the general's relatives, but if the matter of evil cultivators was exposed, it would be easy for the second princess to touch his wife and children.

In fact, there is another unknown relationship.

Qi Ruhai had colluded with the evil cultivators for a long time, but the collusion was not deep, and it was not a capital crime. However, this matter had long been discovered by the Second Princess. This time when Qi Ruhai came to the Northern Frontier, the Second Princess used the benefits to tempt him to collude with the evil cultivators more deeply.

Unable to resist the temptation, he was collected by the Second Princess for the ironclad evidence of collusion with the evil cultivators, but the Second Princess did not tell him about it, but used it as a threat to make him cooperate.

The promise was naturally generous, and he was given a lot of immortal essence, but if Qi Ruhai did not make any achievements, I am afraid...

He himself could not protect himself!

This is why Qi Ruhai wanted to become the commander of the rear army so much and work for the Second Princess.

He wanted to perform brilliantly and raise his status beside the Second Princess to a level that could not be ignored. If the Second Princess succeeded in seizing the throne, the matter between Qi Ruhai and the evil cultivators would naturally not exist.

But now it seems that things have gone beyond expectations.

On the other side, Yue Xue walked into Ye Wudao's room and reported the news about the people coming and going from Qi Ruhai's side.

"Commander, there is something wrong with Qi Ruhai's confidant. After the young general of the left army arrived, they seemed to become depressed, as if something was on their mind." Yue Xue said.
