Chapter 23:
Six months later, Feng Qingcheng and Zhou Xing'an joined forces with the Prince of the Rouran tribe, Wusel, to rebel.
The whole country was in an uproar.
Let's leave Feng Qingcheng for now, Zhou Xing'an came from the prestigious Zhenguojun Mansion of the loyal and righteous for three generations.
Because of him alone, the Zhou family's generations of loyalty and righteousness were ruined in an instant.
General Zhou was so angry that he spat out blood that same day.
However, the military token of the Zhou family had already been handed over to Zhou Xing'an, and General Zhou was powerless to stop it even if he opposed it.
After two months of fighting, Zhou Xing'an's army was unstoppable and was about to break into Shengjing when his deputy suddenly betrayed him.
All the top-secret operational maps were leaked, and Emperor Shen Su, along with the undercover agents hiding in Zhou Xing'an's army, joined forces to trap him like fish in a barrel.
Zhou Xing'an was shot dead on the spot.
Usel fled the battlefield with Feng Qingcheng, sensing that things were not going well.
The heir to the richest man in the mainland, Jin Chao, suffered major financial losses due to investing too much money into Zhou Xing'an's army.
His half-brother Jin Yi took advantage of this opportunity to rise and become the new heir of the Jin family.
It was only later that I found out that the young man in plain clothes I met at the Eastern Palace gate was Jin Yi.
Shen Su had already approached Jin Yi, and the two secretly cooperated.
Not only that, four years ago, he secretly turned against Zhou Xing'an's trusted general.
In this second life, Shen Su had already made meticulous plans and was just waiting for Feng Qingcheng and the others to fall into his trap.
Thus, two of Feng Qingcheng's three supporters were destroyed.
Only Prince Wusser of Rouran remained, but he was not enough to be feared.
