Chapter 301: Who says loyalty must be unquestioning and obedient

```

Of course, survival comes first.

This group of assassins has been chasing the princess for five or six days, all through desolate wilderness, without a soul in sight along the way.

In other words.

It would take at least five or six days to get out of the forest.

Pan-Universal Entertainment changed the rules, with over two thousand out of three thousand people surviving, doubling the original number of survivors.

Moreover, he had set a bad precedent, making everyone else likely to act recklessly...

In five or six days, who knows what kind of chaos over two thousand warriors on the Alien Star Battlefield might stir up!

And his two keywords.

Besides being able to gain some loyalty from Luo Shuang, they were useless.

It was as if he had let others run ahead for five or six days.

In five or six days, with his efficiency, he could have already built a significant force...

Who knows what the outside world will be like when they get out?

Still going to the Qinglan Sword Sect?

To seek death there?

Damn it!

This is a hellish start!

...

Watching the silent Du Ge, Luo Shuang took out a pill and put it in her mouth, sighing, "I was indeed too naive. Mr. He, I know that going to the Qinglan Sword Sect is a slim hope, but it's my only hope."

She paused and sighed, "If only I were a man."

"A man?" Du Ge snapped out of his scattered thoughts, looked at Luo Shuang, and laughed, "When heaven and earth first opened, yin and yang were divided. Who says men are stronger than women? Who says women can't be emperors? Your father and brothers were men, and didn't Qingwu Kingdom still fall?"

"..." Luo Shuang frowned, "You... you are not allowed to insult my father."

"Fourth Princess, don't blame me for speaking bluntly." Du Ge shook his head and said, "Good medicine tastes bitter but cures the disease, honest advice is unpleasant but beneficial. I know how to speak pleasingly, but does that help? Can it help the princess seek revenge or restore the kingdom?"

After a moment of thought, she reached into her bosom, took out her personal jade pendant, and offered it to Du Ge with both hands, "Please accept this jade pendant. I swear, no matter what, I will not harm Mr. He. If one day I lose my way, just show me this jade pendant, and I will understand."

Du Ge smiled at Luo Shuang, took the jade pendant, and said, "Thank you for your trust, Princess. Now, let's pack up and move on. The smell of blood here is too strong; it might attract demon beasts."

"Yes." Luo Shuang nodded.

Du Ge bent down, gathering silver, food, and other useful resources from the assassins and guards.

Luo Shuang followed closely behind him, asking, "With your great talent, why did General Sichen send you to Chongming Kingdom as a spy?"

"Is the princess still doubting me?" Du Ge looked up and asked with a smile.

"No." Luo Shuang said, "I'm just curious. With your skills, you could have achieved much under General Sichen."

"Doubt is good." Du Ge said, "Without doubt, I would think less of you. Our future force will grow, and we will encounter many with ulterior motives. The princess must always maintain a suspicious mind and think thrice before acting to minimize mistakes."

"Thank you for the lesson, Mr. He." Luo Shuang said.

"As for why I was sent as a spy." Du Ge smiled and continued, "Since we've come this far, there's no point in hiding. Our real goal was to overthrow the Chongming Kingdom's regime."

"Overthrow Chongming Kingdom?" Luo Shuang's eyes widened in shock.

"Yes, it's a grand plan, and I'm just a part of it. In national conflicts, there is no right or wrong." Du Ge sighed, "There are many spies like me in Chongming Kingdom. Unfortunately, before the plan could unfold, Qingwu Kingdom fell first."

Gulp!

Luo Shuang swallowed, suddenly thinking of a possibility, and asked tremblingly, "Mr. He, can we use those spies?"

"When General Sichen was around, we could." Du Ge said, "But with the royal family gone, it's uncertain. Not everyone is as loyal to Qingwu Kingdom as I am. Besides, I don't know how to contact them..."

"Oh." Luo Shuang sighed in disappointment.

"Princess, don't think too much." Du Ge smiled, "We must take things one step at a time. Once we have our own people and power, we can then rally those still loyal to Qingwu Kingdom."

"Can we?" Luo Shuang asked.

"What can we?" Du Ge asked back.

"Can the two of us really reclaim Qingwu Kingdom?" Luo Shuang looked at the corpses on the ground and asked wistfully.

"I don't know if we can reclaim Qingwu Kingdom, but I know that a single spark can start a prairie fire." Du Ge stood up straight, his eyes bright like stars in the sky, "The mountain is right in front of us. Climbing it may be hard, but as long as we keep moving up, we have a chance to reach the top. If we stop, we'll never get there."
