There was no discussion of right or wrong; they were immediately put under imprisonment waiting for trial. The people of the Northern Frontier were momentarily in a state of fear.

Chang Geng and Ge Pang Xiao were temporarily arranged in the house of Yanhui Town's Governor, Master Guo. Master Guo was quivering as he saw Gu Yun, fearing that he'd be implicated.

It was only after hearing the order of taking care of the little prince that he knew he had escaped. He really did not dare to neglect; he had sent two rows of servants to line up in front of the quarters Chang Geng was staying in to listen to his every call, the only thing missing was for him to come over to serve the tea and pour the water himself.

Thanks to Chang Geng, Ge Pang Xiao got to enjoy the royal courtesy.

When the little meatball calmed down after the chaos, upon realizing that his home and family were now destroyed, he immediately broke down in tears. Halfway through crying he suddenly remembered that Chang Geng was just like him. He was all alone, even though he still had his yifu as a relative, Uncle Shiliu was nowhere to be seen and didn't come by once to visit. Misery loves company, so he couldn't help but feel sympathy and was embarrassed to make a ruckus in front of Chang Geng.

But without crying, there was nothing else for him to do. Ge Pang Xiao counted his fingers trying to make clear of everything in this situation, but eventually, he gave up. This was all too complicated for him, his thoughts ended up in a mess no matter how hard he tried. He asked Chang Geng: "Big brother, they said your father is the Emperor, does that mean Auntie Xiu is the Empress?"

Chang Geng was holding half a Xiu Zhong Si in his hand. When he saved Ge Pang Xiao, he had shot out one of the Xiu Zhong Si in the iron wristband, then he secretly took it back when they cleaned up the battlefield.

As for anything created from metal, sharp and durable were difficult to coexist. The Xiu Zhong Si, although it could cut through iron with ease, it was not very durable or strong: the tip had been folded when it hit the barbarian's Heavy Armor, the hot Ziliujin had melted a corner of it. Even the blade was gone. It was now only a bare and dark piece of metal.

Chang Geng was using a nail to scrape off the raised place on the knives, while casually replying to Ge Pang Xiao: "The Emperor's sons are not all born from the Empress, he has a dozen wives. Moreover, Xiu Niang belongs to the Man's Tribes, and I am not a prince either, the barbarian woman only wants me to feign being a prince."

Ge Pang Xiao: "..."
