Wen Shaoqing walked toward them. “I come to the tent every day and think of ways to sneak in. I didn’t expect to bump into you guys outside.”
Looking at the warm and affectionate feelings between the two of them, Wen Shaoqing clenched his fists.
Ronald gave a meaningful smile. “That’s because your sister-in-law is pregnant. I’m accompanying her out for a walk.”
Wen Shaoqing’s eyes lit up. “Congratulations, Mrs. Ronald!” He looked at Ronald. “Congratulations to you too, Ronald.”
“What are you doing here? Don’t you know how dangerous it is?” Ronald’s eyes flashed with doubt.
Wen Shaoqing’s face had also become much more haggard. The long robe that had fit him now looked a little loose. “I’m just afraid that if you die, I won’t have the face to see my mother in a hundred years.”
“Seeing that you’re safe, I’m relieved. However I also have to remind you that Croce’s king was furious because of your surrender. He said that if you return to Croce, he will arrest you immediately. You should go to Murcia to hide for now…”
“Ronald!” Before Wen Shaoqing could speak, he was interrupted by an angry roar.
The three of them looked in the direction of the voice. Ronald guarded Irene behind him vigilantly.
The man was aggressive. He rushed at Ronald with a sword in his hand. The three of them had no weapons in their hands, so they could only retreat.
Irene saw the man’s face clearly. “The fifth prince?”
“Who?” Ronald hurriedly motioned for Irene to explain clearly.
Irene suppressed her fear and explained, “Rhett’s biological younger brother. From the looks of it, he should be here to avenge his older brother.”
“Then what should we do?” Wen Shaoqing asked in a panic.
“Run in the direction of the tent. The entrance of the tent is heavily guarded. He can’t enter.”
Ronald held Irene’s hand tightly, and the three of them ran toward the tent.
The fifth prince roared behind them, “Ronald, you’ll pay with your life for the murder you’ve committed. I’ll kill…”
The sound stopped abruptly. The three of them looked behind them oddly.
The fifth prince’s throat had been cut open by someone. A man in black stood beside him. Blood dripped from his knife. He turned around and gave them a deep look before leaving quickly.
The three of them went forward to check on the fifth prince’s injuries. Ronald touched his neck and shook his head. “He’s dead.”
Everything had happened too quickly. First, the fifth prince rushed out to kill Ronald. Then, he was immediately killed by the man in black.
The three of them looked at the fifth prince’s body and fell into silence.
“The fifth prince of Celt was killed here for no reason. The news will definitely reach the ears of General Celt soon. If they think that Ronald did it…” At this point, Irene’s expression became even more solemn.
“T-T-T-There’s a murder!”
At this moment, a soldier who was fetching water cried out in surprise when he saw the fifth prince’s body!
Celt and Murcia’s camp were very close to each other. That person was wearing Celt’s military uniform, so he lifted his feet and ran back.
They were done for. Irene and the other two had cold expressions on their faces.
They had fallen into a trap. Someone had done all this to frame Ronald.
Wen Shaoqing suddenly pulled Irene’s shoulder. “Sister-in-law, listen to me. If Celt comes looking for trouble, hand me over. “He then looked at Ronald, “Brother, don’t go back to Murcia’s camp. Go to Xandia. You have already become Croce’s stray. All the countries will definitely try to persuade you to surrender. As long as you pretend to surrender, Xandia will definitely take you in.”
Wen Shaoqing pulled the two of them up. “There’s no time, brother. Go quickly. Before you leave, go look for George around Croce’s city gate and ask him to prepare money and food for you.” As he spoke, he pushed Ronald in Croce’s direction.
Naturally, Ronald was unwilling to let Wen Shaoqing take the fall for him. “Then what about you?”
“They won’t do anything to me. After all, they want to make things difficult for you, not me. The general that the various countries want to fight for is you, not me.” Wen Shaoqing gritted his teeth. “Moreover, I promised Mother that I would do my best to protect you. Leave!”
Ronald looked at Irene again. Irene resisted the discomfort that came from her body and said to Ronald, “Hurry up and leave. Do you want our child to be born without a father? Just go! Wen Shaoqing and I will be here.”
Ronald took one last look at the two of them and finally made up his mind. He ran toward Croce.
Not long after Ronald left, someone from Celt chased after him. The soldier who was carrying water pointed at the two of them. “Where’s the other person? I clearly saw you three kill someone!”
Irene looked up, her eyes cold. “Be careful of what you’re saying!”
