After watching Mr. Hai leave, the Eighth Prince stroked his chin and thought for a long time, then stood up to look for Tu Zhizhi, but ran into Ye Yun on the way.

"Cousin, how is the situation over there?" The Eighth Prince asked hurriedly as he saw Ye Yun.

"Everything has been arranged. Your Highness can send people to Fulu Town tonight." Ye Yun was in a good mood. Obviously, things were going smoothly.

The Eighth Prince was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really? That's great."

He really wanted to find out the situation in Fulu Town. Only in this way could he know himself and the enemy, and win every battle.

If he knew nothing and could not win over the Miao people, he would be attacked from all sides.

"Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing." Ye Yun smiled brightly. This was rare good news, and it also meant that Yongzhou City had become a thing of the past. They would set their sights on Bashu.

When the Eighth Prince heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter.

Ever since the news came that Chen Changli had defended Yongzhou City, the Eighth Prince has not had a good night's sleep.

Now that he heard such good news, he felt he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Now, Old Nine and Old Six can no longer laugh at me because of the Yongzhou City incident. After all, my sights are already on Bashu and the fight with the Crown Prince."

The eighth prince's words instantly made Ye Yun's face turn pale.

He said with a look of self-blame: "Your Highness, I miscalculated and did not pay attention to the movements of the Ninth Prince, which is why he almost joined forces with Chang Xuewei to catch us off guard."

"It was because I was too eager for quick success that Wen Baicao took the opportunity to escape. Otherwise, we would still be guarding Yongzhou City now."

With Yongzhou City as their backing, it would be easier for them to plot against the prince. They wouldn't have to hide in the mountains like they are doing now.

"The loss of Yongzhou City has nothing to do with you." A barely perceptible regret flashed across the Eighth Prince's eyes. "I am timid and was frightened by the situation of the Ninth Prince attacking the city. That's why I abandoned the city and fled without making any arrangements."

“If I had been braver, or if I had made some arrangements for the people when I decided to flee, we wouldn’t have to hide here.”

The Eighth Prince had regretted his decision to abandon the city and flee countless times, but he never showed it in front of outsiders.

Now that I said it in front of Ye Yun, I didn't want him to think of this as a mistake.

Ye Yun understood his thoughts and felt relieved.

"Your Highness, I am considered a smart person in the eyes of others, but I know that there are many smart people in this world, and I am just an ordinary person compared to them."

"So we have to discuss some decisions with each other. Once we feel there is no problem, we will make a final decision. Otherwise, the incident in Yongzhou City will serve as a lesson for us."

The loss of Yongzhou City is not only a pain in the heart of the Eighth Prince, but also a lesson that Ye Yun cannot forget.

He secretly swore that he would bring the Eighth Prince to wash away the shame of Yongzhou City.

"That's right." The Eighth Prince's heart moved slightly, and then he looked at Ye Yun very seriously, "Some of my ideas may not be correct. I hope my cousin can give me more advice in the future, and don't let me make a decision on my own."

At this time, Tu Zhizhi said something that sounded like a mockery, "It's not enough to rely on Ye Yun alone. You need to find a few more people, otherwise what you are saying now will only be empty talk."

"Why are you here?" Upon hearing Tu Zhizhi's voice, the Eighth Prince's face suddenly darkened.

Ye Yun's expression was calm: "Are you sure about Old Lady Shang's attitude?"

Tu Zhizhi snorted and laughed: "If I wasn't sure, why would I come to you?"

"She is as cunning as a fox. If you are careless, you will be deceived by her." The Eighth Prince did not think highly of Tu Zhizhi and his tone was extremely cold.

Tu Zhizhi glared at him fiercely and said in a sarcastic voice: "That's better than you. After all, she wouldn't abandon me in a time of crisis."

Feeling that he was being ridiculed, the Eighth Prince dared not say anything and could only stare at Tu Zhizhi with extremely cold eyes.

Seeing that she had a smile on her face, but there was an impossible-to-ignore irony between her brows, the Eighth Prince looked away in embarrassment.

He is not a good person, but given his status, he did such a thing. It is reasonable for Tu Zhizhi to look down on him.

If he quarreled with her over this, it would only make her look down on him even more.

"It was just an accident, Tu Zhizhi. If you were in the same situation as His Highness, your actions would be even more despicable." Ye Yun instantly stood in front of the Eighth Prince, staring at Tu Zhizhi with a cold face.

“The act of survival is not about being high or low, but when the city was not broken, he first deceived me and then abandoned many people and left. I would never do such an act of survival even if I die.” Tu Zhizhi was furious when she heard this.

The Eighth Prince is a despicable and shameless villain. If he were not still useful, Tu Zhizhi would have secretly left long ago. Why would she stay by his side?

"Since you can't do it and you look down on His Highness's behavior, why don't you take the opportunity to leave?" Ye Yun's words were like a knife, instantly stabbing into Tu Zhizhi's heart, leaving him speechless.

"I have no choice but to stay here. If I had the chance, I would have gone home long ago." Tu Zhizhi was not defeated in battle, and his aura suddenly became fierce.

Seeing her domineering attitude, the Eighth Prince felt more and more complicated, and soon it turned into anger and exploded.

"Tu Zhizhi, didn't you choose me in the first place because you thought I was easy to control? Humph, the same is true for why you don't want to leave now."

"In the end, you had a lot of choices at the beginning. After all, I have many brothers, and each of them is ambitious. If you set your sights on them, they will naturally dislike me and be unwilling to have anything to do with me. But you chose me."

When the Eighth Prince said this, he was very sad and angry, but there was no change on his face, because he had already guessed Tu Zhizhi's plan and knew why she didn't want to leave him.

It just so happened that he also wanted to make use of Tu Zhizhi, so the two of them were mutually beneficial.

Tu Zhizhi's posture in front of him was simply the opposite of Tian Gang.

"From the moment you chose me, I knew what you were planning. The reason I didn't tell you clearly was because I had other plans."

"We are just using each other. It's not a win-win cooperation. I didn't expect that at this point, you still can't recognize your situation."

"It seems that Tu Yuanzhou really gave you enough confidence, but he is not able to put out a nearby fire with distant water, so if you continue to treat me like this, even if you are still useful to me, I will not let you go."

After saying this, the Eighth Prince looked deeply at Tu Zhizhi, then left with Ye Yun.

Tu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment when she saw his sudden emotional outburst.

Then she went over his words in her mind, and Tu Zhizhi laughed in anger: "Have you seen through my thoughts? If you really saw through, how could you do such a ridiculous thing."

"I think you just realized it later and thought of me like this. If not..."

Tu Zhizhi said this angrily, and her face unconsciously darkened.

Her thoughts are easy to guess, Ye Yun can see through her. It seems that the Eighth Prince can know everything because of him.

She had wanted to get rid of him before, but unfortunately things changed so quickly that no matter how much she planned, she couldn't deal with the current situation.

She could only lie low and wait until the current crisis was resolved before making any plans.

Having planned everything, Tu Zhizhi suppressed her dissatisfaction with the Eighth Prince and gave him some advice, but she didn't expect that the Eighth Prince would suddenly lose his temper today.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she went back angrily.

But when she returned to the empty tent, she just felt lonely.

"Tu Zhizhi, where is the Eighth Prince? Didn't you bring him with you?"

Just as Tu Zhizhi was immersed in her own emotions, Old Lady Shang lifted the curtain and walked in.

Tu Zhizhi quickly restrained her emotions and looked at her indifferently, but her tone was calm: "The Eighth Prince is busy, how can he have time to come to me."
