Before this, Fourth Prince had felt that Old Emperor had arranged for the army to guard the city gate. It was because he didn't trust him. However, before that... Old Emperor had always trusted him. Therefore... He felt that there must be other princes behind this.    

After his advisor's thorough analysis, he felt even more strongly that there were other princes behind this matter, and this general in front of him was someone from the other princes.    

Although the defending troops in the city were under Old Emperor's orders... They were all obeying his orders now, but Fourth Prince also knew that... There must be someone who didn't agree with him in their hearts. They would surely seek refuge with the other princes. The person in front of him was one of them.    

"Your Highness, I am loyal to the country and your majesty." The prince said.    

"Hmph!"    

Fourth Prince coldly harrumphed and turned around to leave. He didn't want to waste any more time with this general. He wanted to see Old Emperor now and ask him why he didn't trust him. He wanted to tell him that he had lost a chance to severely injure the army of Yuan Feng Country tonight.    

After Old Emperor saw Fourth Prince, he naturally comforted him and expressed his absolute trust in him. However, he didn't listen to Fourth Prince's opinion. He severely punished the general who guarded the city gate, but only said that he would punish him.    

Such an outcome naturally wouldn't satisfy Fourth Prince. He complained in front of Old Emperor, feeling that Old Emperor should give him the command of all the armies in the city. Only by doing so could he command the army better, and also be more confident in defeating the army of Yuan Feng Country.    

Of course, Old Emperor wouldn't do that. He didn't fully trust Fourth Prince to begin with. Fourth Prince was just a puppet that he pushed to the front desk. At the same time, ， he also had the intention of inspecting Fourth Prince. How could he hand over all the troops to him to command? It was already considered not bad to give him the command of most of the troops.    

Furthermore, Fourth Prince was so unscrupulous. He openly complained and complained about himself. This made Old Emperor somewhat dissatisfied with Fourth Prince in his heart. He could see it now. This son of his might be the reason why he was in charge of this place for the first time. He had already forgotten himself. He even dared to question him. Suspicion, he is the one I forgot, who is in power in this country?    

"Alright, Zhen is going to rest. You can go back first!" Old Emperor had lost his patience with Fourth Prince.    

"Father, you have not promised to give me command of all the troops in the city." Fourth Prince did not leave as obediently as before. Instead, he insisted, "This is what you promised me before."    

"There is no need to talk about this matter. Zhen has already given you the army that can be given to you. You don't need to think about the rest." Old Emperor said, "You can leave now."    

Old Emperor once again ordered Fourth Prince to leave, and his tone was somewhat indifferent.    

However, Fourth Prince didn't seem to notice Old Emperor's cold attitude towards him. What happened tonight had made him very angry, and his current emotions seemed to be somewhat excited. Intense restlessness. : "Father! I want the commanding authority of all the armies in the city. This is the only way. Only I can defeat the army of Yuan Feng Country!"    

"Didn't you hear that Zhen asked you to leave?!" Old Emperor said sternly, "Also, if you feel that your own army can't defeat the army of Yuan Feng Country outside the city, then, you should hand over your military power as soon as possible. Zhen will give orders to those who can win."    

"Father, you can't do that!" Fourth Prince said.    

"Why not?! Zhen is the emperor of this country! And you are only a prince, one of my many princes! " Old Emperor said sternly.    

Old Emperor's stern words finally calmed Fourth Prince down. Only now did he realize that he had recklessly contradicted father, which made him somewhat flustered.    

Of course, at the same time, he also felt aggrieved. He felt that Old Emperor would not hand over all the troops to him to command. He definitely did not completely trust him. He kept the military power. He also wanted another prince to give him the command, and just now, ___ asked him to hand over the military power. The same thought appeared in his mind.    

However, at this moment, it was obvious that he couldn't continue fighting. Otherwise, if he gave Old Emperor a chance, he might withdraw his commanding authority now.    

"Calm down, father. I know I was wrong. I will go out this time." Fourth Prince bowed and left the main hall.    

"Old fool, don't think you can take away my command!" Fourth Prince thought in his heart.    

The result of seeing Old Emperor tonight was obviously not enough to satisfy Fourth Prince. It even made the hatred in his heart towards Old Emperor deepen. He was also afraid that Old Emperor would find an opportunity to take away his commanding authority.    

"No, no one can take away my commanding authority, not even you!" Fourth Prince said fiercely in his heart.    

On the other side, Old Emperor watched Fourth Prince leave with an expressionless face. No one knew what he was thinking, but judging from the way he looked at Fourth Prince, it was obvious that Fourth Prince was not satisfied.    

After Fourth Prince left, Old Emperor asked someone to call the general who was guarding the city. He had just heard some news from Fourth Prince. But... He didn't completely believe Fourth Prince's words, so he still wanted to listen to his subordinate's words.    

"Tell me, what exactly is going on? I asked you to go and fetch the army that is out of the city for the night attack, but I didn't ask you to lock them outside the door and not let them in! " Old Emperor said.    

Although his voice wasn't very loud, it scared the general until his face turned pale. He quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This general is also considering the safety of this city."    

Immediately after that, he told Old Emperor about what had happened outside the city. Old Emperor didn't interrupt him and kept telling him to finish.    

"You are saying that the Yuan Feng Country army outside the city retreated when they had the initiative?" After the general finished speaking, Old Emperor asked.    

"Yes." The general said.    

"Strange, why did they withdraw? At that time, the city gates had already been closed, and the people on the city walls did not dare to casually shoot arrows. They could have killed all the troops that left the city before leaving. " Old Emperor said to himself. Obviously, he was very interested in what the army of Yuan Feng Country was doing. He couldn't figure it out either.    

"I also can't figure out why they are doing this." That general said, "But this general is certain that they are definitely not like what Fourth Prince said. They didn't realize that we would launch a night attack, so they didn't prepare well."
