“Traitors! Traitors! You are all traitors!”
On the earthen fortress walls, Wang Chengheng looked around, meeting cold, unfeeling gazes. His eyes bloodshot, he glared at Wang Chengping and swung his steel sword down with all his might.
At that moment, the soldiers behind Wang Chengheng immediately grabbed Wang Chengping and pinned him to the ground.
A faint smile appeared on Wang Chengping’s lips as he stepped forward and shouted to Xiao Ming below, “Your Highness, I am Wang Chengping. We have captured Wang Chengheng. This entire incident was the fault of Wang Chengchou and his brothers. I beg Your Highness to spare the others.”
Everything that had happened on the fortress walls was witnessed by those below. Lu Fei burst into laughter, while Ouyang Mu’s face turned ashen.
“A wise man knows when to yield. I will honor my promise,” Xiao Ming said, his heart swelling with satisfaction. In warfare, the best victory is one achieved without bloodshed.
Although Xiao Ming was not afraid of a prolonged battle with the Wang family, Qingzhou was still in the process of rebuilding. Such a conflict would only weaken the region further.
Moreover, the information Wang Chengchou had revealed was shocking. If true, Xiao Ming would need to station heavy troops both to the north and south—one to defend against the barbarians and the other to guard against Prince Wei.
“Open the gates!” Wang Chengping shouted. With a creak, the gates of the fortress slowly swung open.
“Advance!” Xiao Ming said excitedly.
This was his first experience with a cold-weapon battle, and the fact that he had resolved the Wang family’s threat without shedding blood gave him a small sense of accomplishment.
