Inner Thoughts Exposed! My Disabled Husband Knows All My Secrets!

It didn’t take long for the news to reach Rong Yunzhou.

Just as Rong Shuyan had expected, Rong Yunzhou immediately became interested.

Without telling anyone outside his own group, he quietly gathered several of his soldiers and prepared to investigate the newly discovered hidden path himself.

He didn’t even bother to speak to Rong Shuyan first, nor did he have any intention of reporting what he was about to do to his sixth brother.

In the end, no matter how many times Rong Shuyan had warned him that he needed to listen if he wanted to stay alive, Rong Yunzhou still treated his words as nothing more than nonsense.

After all, in Rong Yunzhou’s eyes, Rong Shuyan was still nothing more than a cripple.

Why should a healthy prince like him listen to someone who couldn’t even stand on his own two feet?

More importantly, this was a major discovery.

If Rong Yunzhou personally went there and found out exactly where the Southern Wolf Tribe was heading, wouldn’t the achievement belong to him?

The thought alone was enough to make his heart race with excitement.

"Keep quiet," Rong Yunzhou ordered the soldiers following him. "There’s no need to tell anyone else where we’re going."

One of the soldiers hesitated. "Your Highness, should we at least inform Prince Rui?"

Rong Yunzhou’s expression immediately darkened. "Why should we?"

The soldier quickly lowered his head and didn’t dare to say anything.

Rong Yunzhou scoffed. "He only discovered the path. I’m the General leading this army. Do I need his permission every time I want to investigate the enemy?"

"No, Your Highness."

"Then stop asking useless questions." Rong Yunzhou turned away and continued preparing to leave.

What he didn’t know was that Rong Shuyan was actually pleased with what he was doing.

Everything was going exactly as Rong Shuyan had expected.

Once Rong Yunzhou and his soldiers had left the camp, Rong Shuyan turned toward General Zhou. "General Zhou, prepare your men."

General Zhou immediately cupped his hands. "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Follow the Southern Wolf Tribe from a distance first," Rong Shuyan said. "Do not attack them."

General Zhou raised his head slightly and Rong Shuyan continued calmly, "Let the Second Prince and his men reach the hidden path before us."

"But Your Highness, it seems that the Second Prince is going to take most of the soldiers there first," said one of the soldiers.

He was the same soldier who had delivered the news about the hidden path to Rong Yunzhou earlier. Because of that, he had seen the Second Prince trying to gather as many soldiers as possible.

Some were soldiers Rong Yunzhou had secretly brought with him, while others had been stationed at the border long before the princes arrived.

[Oh, those poor soldiers,] Lin Xueyi suddenly thought. She had been quietly watching everything from the side. [They always end up becoming victims of politicians.]

It was sad, but there was nothing she could do about it. She had no authority over the soldiers, and she certainly couldn’t order them not to follow Rong Yunzhou.

On the other side, Rong Shuyan finally said, "It’s alright." He added, "Having more soldiers isn’t the only way to win a war. We can find another way to fight the Southern Wolf Tribe. At the same time, we’ll do our best to protect the soldiers the Second Prince takes with him."

Lin Xueyi stared at him without blinking.

[Protect the soldiers?]

She hadn’t expected Rong Shuyan to say that.

From the beginning, she hadn’t expected him to go out of his way to protect them, especially when his own position was already difficult enough.

More importantly, the Rong Shuyan she remembered from the novel wasn’t like this.

When he was still suffering so much from the cold poison, he rarely showed much care toward other people.

Of course, he never treated innocent people badly. If someone hadn’t done anything wrong to him, he had no reason to hurt them.

But that didn’t mean he would go through fire and water to save them either.

Back then, Rong Shuyan had already been struggling just to survive. He had little energy left to care about the lives of people who had nothing to do with him.

However, ever since they arrived at the border, Lin Xueyi had noticed something different. Rong Shuyan still looked cold. He still spoke calmly and rarely showed what he was feeling.

But whenever the lives of the soldiers were involved, he always seemed to think about them.

Even now, when Rong Yunzhou was foolishly dragging so many soldiers into danger, Rong Shuyan wasn’t simply planning to use them as bait and leave them to die.

He was already thinking about how to bring them back alive.

Lin Xueyi quietly looked at his face. [Is it because he doesn’t have to suffer as much as he did in the novel?]

The thought had barely appeared before she immediately rejected it. [Bullshit. He’s still suffering a lot.]

As long as the poison remained inside his body, Rong Shuyan would never truly be free from pain.

Even if things were slightly different from the novel now, that didn’t mean his suffering had suddenly disappeared.

Before Lin Xueyi could think about it any further, Rong Shuyan spoke again. "I want the archers to be the main group scouting the hidden path."

Everyone immediately turned their attention back to him.

"Choose the ones who can shoot accurately from a great distance," Rong Shuyan continued. "I don’t want our men getting too close to the Southern Wolf Tribe."

After Rong Yunzhou had ruined their previous plan by attacking the Southern Wolf Tribe on the hidden trail, Rong Shuyan was certain that the enemy would be much more careful this time.

They would be watching their surroundings closely, expecting another surprise attack. Because of that, if the Imperial soldiers truly wanted to remain hidden, they had no choice but to keep their distance.

"And General Zhou." Rong Shuyan’s voice became more serious as he looked at General Zhou’s face that gradually became paler.

Seeing through the eagle’s eyes for so long had clearly taken a lot of energy out of him.
