Chapter 523: Play 1 match

"What happened to her?" the general's son asked anxiously.

He had actually guessed what had happened to her, but he couldn't believe it, so he wanted to get the answer from Prince Jing.

King Jing knew that revealing this would be very painful for him, but he still had to say it.

"She was taken by Yang Guojiu and humiliated." Prince Jing frowned and spoke calmly.

The general's son gripped the chair tightly with his hands, veins bulging, and asked through gritted teeth, "And then, Your Highness, please continue."

"Later, when the novelty wore off, Yang Guojiu forgot about her. She was clever; she bribed a servant in the mansion to escape, feeling that she had lost her innocence."

Unable to be with you any longer, I left the capital and encountered many misfortunes, ending up stranded at the border. That's how my wife met me. This is all the result of an investigation.

King Jing looked up at the general's son. He understood his feelings; he hadn't even seen his beloved woman one last time.

Moreover, she encountered so many things, each one enough to break his heart.

The general's son closed his eyes in anguish, tears streaming down his face. He said, "I never imagined he would encounter so many things."

And I knew absolutely nothing about it; she had to shoulder everything herself. I'm so incompetent.

"You don't know what happened to her, so you don't need to blame yourself. Besides, I think she wouldn't want to see you like this either. What kind of person would she want to see?"

"You should know that," King Jing said softly, trying to comfort him.

The general's son opened his eyes, stood up from his chair, walked to Prince Jing, knelt down directly on the ground, and kowtowed to Prince Jing.

This terrified Prince Jing. He stood up and helped the general's son up, saying, "What are you doing? I can't accept this. Get up quickly."

"Prince Jing, you can accept this. Thank you and Princess Jing for taking care of her until her death. Thank you for the letter she wrote to me."

"It was preserved so well, and you entrusted it to me. Such a great kindness is beyond repayment."

The general's son, his voice trembling with tears, spoke to Prince Jing.

Prince Jing shook his head: "You two are lovers, and we are happy that we can help. Please get up and stop kneeling."

The general's son stood up, composed himself for a moment, and then said, "Prince Jing, I know why you told me this."

But I also want to make it clear to you that I will not surrender because of this.

"If you surrender because of this, I'll despise you. It's good that you don't surrender; that proves you're a man of steel."

I admire you even more now. How about this, we'll have a fight. If you lose, you'll be at my mercy. What do you say?

With a faint smile on his face, Prince Jing looked at the general's son and asked softly.

The general's son naturally agreed: "Alright, let's do as Prince Jing says."

The two men arrived at an open space and faced each other. Soon, they attacked simultaneously.

Their martial arts skills are not weak, and it will take a long time to defeat the other.

The final result was that the general's son was defeated in one move.

The general's son stood up, looked at Prince Jing, and said with a smile, "I have lost. Prince Jing is indeed powerful. I will now cut off his tendons."

After saying that, he raised his hand, intending to sever his tendons.

Upon seeing this, Prince Jing immediately stepped forward, grabbed his hand, his face extremely grim, and his voice tinged with anger: "What are you doing?"

The general's son laughed and said, "Prince Jing, you don't need to stop me. I'm only willing to die. I already know her whereabouts, and I have no regrets about dying."

Why are you stopping me? You and Princess Jing are a loving couple; you should understand my feelings. Why are you trying to stop me?

"Don't you want to know where she's buried? You're such a coward, you can't even bear to look at her grave. Do you think she loved you like that?"

King Jing was furious and flung his arm away, his face turning very ugly.

The general's son stood there, head bowed. He no longer knew what the meaning of his life was; his beloved was gone.

Seeing him like this, Prince Jing couldn't bear it any longer, and he spoke again: "Actually, she also has a child with her, and that child looks a lot like you."

It's obviously your child. Are you really planning to just die like this and abandon everything?"

Upon hearing this, the general's son's eyes, which had been completely dull just moments before, lit up considerably, and he asked anxiously, "Prince Jing, is what you're saying true?"

"Of course it's true. What good would it do me to lie to you? He's still at the border. If you want to go look for him, you should be able to find him."

King Jing spoke again.

The general's son finally had the will to live. He looked at Prince Jing and said, "Prince Jing, I have already admitted defeat. I also intend to give up resistance and go find that child."

King Jing was surprised that he made the decision so quickly. He smiled and asked, "I know you're anxious, but what about the army here? You're not going to take care of them? You're the general this time."

"I see it very clearly. Your abilities surpass mine. Although I haven't seen the others, I know that what makes you willingly help him is..."

He must be very capable. As long as he treats the people well, that's enough. The general's son still cares about the people.

Prince Jing smiled slightly: "You may not know the details of the current court, but you do know quite a bit about it. Can such a court truly allow the people to live in peace and prosperity?"

"Then, can the person you're willing to help ensure that the people can live and work in peace and contentment?"

"Yes, I believe he can."

King Jing spoke firmly to the general's son.

The general's son smiled slightly: "Since you say it's possible, then it's possible. I trust your judgment of people, and I trust you too, I believe that everything you do is for the people."

"I am relieved to have the army in your care. Please, Your Majesty, allow me to depart."

“Alright, then let’s wait until things are settled. This army only recognizes you now,” King Jing said with a smile.

The general's son naturally understood what he meant. He and Prince Jing walked side by side to the city gate, and then addressed the army, ordering them to open the city gate.

Then, in front of everyone, he handed the military tally to King Jing and told all the soldiers that he was entrusting the army to King Jing and that he believed he could do what King Jing could not.

After everything was settled, the general's son rode away, thanking Prince Jing before leaving.

Watching his departing figure, Prince Jing couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes being stubborn isn't a good thing; it's too easy to become fixated on one thing."

“But he seems to think it’s pretty good,” Yu Huailin said, standing to the side.
