However, that was not within his consideration. He wanted what Qian Jiyun had, and he wanted him dead even more.
He was convinced he could obtain the artifact once he caught up to Qian Jiyun. He would not stay in this plane anymore, so why would he care about these things?
“Your Highness, that’s not what I ant.”
No one would willingly declare themselves useless. The leader of the shadow guards was no exception.
Despite his unwillingness to admit it, he knew they couldn’t catch up with them. Ming Fucheng was the only muddle-headed one.
“Your Highness, what I ant to say is that you’ve left the military camp, so there’s no commander now. If anything happens, you won’t be able to explain yourself to the Emperor,” he reminded him.
No matter how much the Yueming Emperor doted on his son, he would not allow him to destroy the entire army without any consequences.
“Do I need your reminder?” Ming Fucheng sneered and glanced at the leader of the shadow guards. “Those small matters will be nothing when we capture Qian Jiyun.”
Nothing could compare to this right now. Once he obtained all of Qian Jiyun’s possessions, including that artifact, he would have nothing to fear.
He could even bring his father to a higher plane. He would have a better chance to strengthen himself there, right?
“Give chase imdiately! We must capture Qian Jiyun!” he instructed, leading the way.
“Your Highness…”
The leader of the shadow guards wanted to speak again, but his master had already left.
He gritted his teeth and followed Ming Fucheng with his subordinates. What else could he do? As a shadow guard, he should listen to the prince’s orders and protect him. Nothing else mattered.
However, he really wanted to explain that he could sense that even with so many shadow guards working together, they would fail to defeat them.
In fact, it would be good enough if those two did not defeat them instead.
He felt that they had to find more people to take down Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue. Otherwise, there was no hope at all.
“Your Highness, wait for . I have sothing to tell you.” He hurriedly chased after him, wanting to catch up to Ming Fucheng and explain this to him.
Unfortunately, Ming Fucheng did not listen to him at all. He only wanted to catch up to Qian Jiyun.
Besides, he could always play dirty if he could not defeat Qian Jiyun.
At Jia City, the border city of Yueming Empire…
After two days of siege, Zhan Beiye finally conquered the city because Ming Fucheng was not around and no one could give commands.
Ming Fucheng’s deputy generals had no choice but to relinquish control of Jia City and settle for the next best alternative. They stationed themselves in Pingyang City, once again confronting Zhan Beiye’s army.
But even so, their army was far inferior to Zhan Beiye’s.
After all, having failed once, with the city gates breached and the army fleeing, there was no longer any sense of montum. Every soldier was dejected.
The deputy generals in the military camp were injured in various ways. Everyone looked furious.
“Where did His Highness go? How can he disregard this?”
Although they did not disrespect Ming Fucheng verbally, they had already criticized Zhan Beiye in their hearts. He had abandoned the entire camp and ran off sowhere..
