Even if they did, they had spent everything while escorting Prince Xiao over the past few days.
Was Prince Xiao asking them to steal?
“Your Highness, hang in there for a while longer. We’ll be arriving at Yao City soon. City Lord Yao will welcome you personally. He’ll provide you with good food and drinks.”
Zhan Beixiao had a deputy general with him. He had no choice but to follow Zhan Beixiao since his family was in the Imperial Capital.
Otherwise, he would have defected to Zhan Beiye’s side like the other deputy generals. Who would want to follow a fool like Zhan Beixiao?
“Where is City Lord Yao?”
Zhan Beixiao was hungry, tired, thirsty, and angry.
He was so close to Yao City, yet City Lord Yao had not come out to welcome him. This was clearly a deliberate attempt to undermine his authority.
He knew that one of the deputy generals he had killed was City Lord Yao’s nephew. City Lord Yao probably wanted to kill him now, right?
“He’d better not let me—”
“Better not let you do what?”

“Better not let you do what?”
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a familiar voice.
Zhan Beixiao was momentarily stunned before jumping up and turning to look at the person.
“Grandfather, you’re finally here to save me! You don’t know how much I’ve suffered outside these days… Ah!”
His complaints were still endless, but Marquess Ning kicked him off the road and into the gra.s.s beside it.
“Your Highness!” The deputy general and soldiers cried out in fear when they saw Zhan Beixiao being kicked aside.
Marquess Ning was too ruthless. Zhan Beixiao was his biological grandson and the Zhanling Emperor’s favorite son. How could he kick him just like that?
If the Zhanling Emperor were to find out, Marquess Ning would find himself in a difficult situation.
But would Marquess Ning care about that?
He did not want to care about anything else now. He only wanted to teach his ignorant grandson a lesson.
Zhan Beiye was also part of Zhanling Empire’s royal family. He had already conquered 20 cities and was just short of establishing himself as an emperor. Meanwhile, his grandson was still living so miserably.
How could he not be angry? How could he take a fancy to this disappointing grandson?
“Grandfather, how can you kick me?”
The deputy general and soldiers rushed over and helped Zhan Beixiao up. He limped over to Marquess Ning with dissatisfaction written all over his face.
So what if he was his maternal grandfather? Zhan Beiye was from the royal family and would eventually inherit the throne and become the Emperor of Zhanling Empire.
Even if Marquess Ning was his grandfather, he was only a subject. How could he kick him like that? What did he think of him? Did he think he was his subordinate?
“I am Prince Xiao of Zhanling Empire!”
“So you still know that you’re Prince Xiao of Zhanling Empire? Look at what you’ve done!” Marquess Ning stared at Zhan Beixiao coldly, furious.
“As the commander-in-chief, you killed the deputy generals on the battlefield for no reason, causing a mutiny throughout the army and giving Zhan Beiyao an opportunity. Do you know that you’ll be doomed for the rest of your life because of this?!”
“You only said that I killed the deputy generals. Why won’t you talk about how they teased my woman?” Zhan Beixiao shouted indignantly.
He would not have killed the deputy generals if they had not harbored ulterior motives towards his woman. They had brought this on themselves.. He couldn’t be blamed!
