"At our current speed, we should be there by tomorrow night. Hmph, Eighth Prince, I'll let you know... Your Lu family is finished. I, Wang Cheng, will overthrow your Lu family with my own hands! " Wang Cheng rode on his horse and looked at the endless line in front of him. He said confidently to himself.    

    

Huang Feng's guess was right. After Wang Cheng found out that one of his cities had been breached by the Eighth Prince's men, sure enough, he was very anxious and angry. It was true that he didn't dare to let the Eighth Prince's men stay behind him. If that was the case, it would bring him a lot of trouble.    

    

In Wang Cheng's point of view, after defeating the army of the Imperial Court, he had successfully wounded the Imperial Court. Now, there was no need for him to take the risk. As long as he followed the rules, he would be able to overthrow the Lu Family's rule. Therefore, what he needed now was stability.    

    

And to have the Eighth Prince behind him was obviously not stable. The Eighth Prince had brought a lot of troops with him. If he were to let him go... In the city behind him, the Eighth Prince had brought a lot of troops with him, and if he didn't do anything to the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince would definitely make a mess. But what about the supplies and the families of the soldiers? If something really happened, these soldiers might not be able to fight peacefully at the front line.    

    

Therefore, the city had to be taken back from the Eighth Prince's hands. The Eighth Prince also had to be destroyed, and it could not be delayed for too long. The longer he delayed, the more damage the Eighth Prince would cause to the rear. At that time, even if he were to rush back and destroy the Eighth Prince's team, he would still be able to kill the Eighth Prince's team. Some of the losses can't be made up for.    

    

During the journey, Wang Cheng had some doubts and admiration for the Eighth Prince's behavior.    

    

Initially, Wang Cheng thought that there was a test. The Eighth Prince would continue to travel with all his might just like First Prince and the Third Prince. If that was the case, it would give him a chance. However... The Eighth Prince did not do that. Instead, he fought steadily and did not rush forward.    

    

However, this was also what Wang Cheng was puzzled about. Since the Eighth Prince didn't rush into the army, how did his men get to the city in front of them so quickly? If it was only cavalry, then... There was no problem with their speed, but how could they take down such a huge city so quickly with only cavalry?    

    

"Damn it, the intelligence system is too bad. There is not a lot of information in front of us. After this period of time, I must properly organize the intelligence system." Being unable to know the exact situation of the front line made Wang Cheng feel like he was blind. Furthermore, how did the Eighth Prince conquer the city? Such doubts had been lingering in his mind. This made him feel extremely uncomfortable.    

    

This made Wang Cheng firm his resolve to sort out the information system. He couldn't let this matter continue.    

    

As for the other cities, they had also sent letters saying that there seemed to be people from the Imperial Court moving around, suspecting that they might attack those cities. This made Wang Cheng feel even more anxious.    

    

The Eighth Prince had already conquered one city, so he must have already known the true situation of his city. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that he wasn't in a hurry to return and occupy more of the other cities. That was easy to understand. Once those cities were taken back by the Eighth Prince... In that case, Wang Cheng would have to pay a great price if he wanted to take them back. After all, his men weren't good at sieging cities. Furthermore, they didn't have any siege weapons.    

    

Hence, after Wang Cheng found out that there were people from the Imperial Court around the other cities, he became even more anxious and increased the speed of the troops.    

    

However, Wang Cheng seemed to have forgotten that the reason why he was able to successfully ambush First Prince and the Third Prince's troops was because of these two princes, forcing his troops to rush forward. This gave him a chance.    

    

And now, Wang Cheng had made the same decision as First Prince and the Third Prince. He had also ordered his troops to march at a rapid speed.    

    

The reason why Wang Cheng did this was because he felt that the Eighth Prince must have used all of his main forces to conquer a city overnight. Otherwise, how could he have conquered another city so easily?    

    

Therefore, the Eighth Prince's men should be in the city ahead. After seizing the city, they would have to leave some men behind to defend it. Especially since there were a lot of people from the Rebellion Army in the city. Without enough people, they wouldn't be able to suppress it.    

    

At the same time, people from the Imperial Court appeared around the other cities. It seemed like the Eighth Prince wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the other cities before he returned.    

    

Therefore, under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Eighth Prince to do so. He still had the energy and strength to ambush him on the way. And because he was worried about the frontline, he didn't dare to waste too much time on the way. Therefore, he could only advance in a hurry.    

    

Of course, Wang Cheng wasn't completely brainless. He was more or less a bit cautious. On the way back, he did not return the way he came. Instead, he chose another path. Under such circumstances... Even if the Eighth Prince wanted to ambush him, it would be hard to determine his route.    

    

"Let the troops increase their speed. We can't delay on the road for too long." Wang Cheng urged again.    

    

"Leader, we can't walk anymore. If we meet the army of the Imperial Court on the way, this..." The adjutant said hesitantly. After all, they had just used the imperial army to rush forward. They had severely injured them, and now they were rushing on their own. The adjutant was naturally worried.    

    

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Wang Cheng waved his hand to stop his adjutant from continuing.    

    

The consecutive victories during this period of time made Wang Cheng feel a little smug. He was extremely confident in his own abilities. It was very difficult for him to listen to other people's opinions. So... Even the adjutant had tried to persuade him more than once. He did not take it to heart.    

    

Because he felt that nothing would happen. Then, it would definitely be fine. Would the others be able to predict it accurately?    

    

Therefore, Wang Cheng still insisted on his own opinion and insisted on increasing the speed of his team.    

    

The adjutant had no choice but to pass down the order. The soldiers below were naturally wailing. They had been hurrying along during this period of time. They had already exhausted some of their energy. At this moment... It was already good enough that they were able to maintain their current speed. However, Wang Cheng was not satisfied. He wanted them to continue speeding up. They were human, not animals, even animals. If they kept rushing at such a high speed, they would get tired.    

    

However, their complaints could not change Wang Cheng's opinion. In the end, they could only grit their teeth and continue to persist, increasing their speed further.    

    

At this time, Wang Cheng and his subordinates did not notice that there were many people lying in ambush near the small mound beside them, watching their every move.
