In the late Qian Dynasty, the northern border was lost and Blackwater City was besieged by eight thousand barbarian cavalry.
When Chen Changan woke up, he was already tied and pushed out of the city gate.
Behind him is the closed Blackwater City.
In front of him are the barbarian scimitars and war horses.
The people on the city wall, the border troops and the wealthy families all looked at him. Everyone hoped that with the life of his "sixth prince", the barbarians would retreat and the people of the city would be able to live for a day.
But Chen Changan soon discovered that the barbarians never planned to retreat.
What they want is not the corpse of a prince, but to let Blackwater City open the city gate and give away the last bit of his soul with his own hands.
What's even more ridiculous is that he is not a prince at all.
The real sixth prince died three days ago.
He was just a stand-in who looked similar to the Sixth Prince, a fake who was pushed out to die by the capital, the wealthy families, the border troops and the common people.
Everyone wanted him dead.
But he managed to crawl back from the barbarian sword.
From that moment on, there was one more person in Blackwater City who didn't deserve to live.
He was not a prince, but he guarded the north gate.
He has no military power, but he lets the condemned man pick up the knife.
He had no food and grass, but he dug out three thousand stones of food from the rich man's cellar.
He was not born a king.
But when the capital abandoned the northern border, the wealthy betrayed the people, and the barbarians invaded the mountains and rivers, everyone finally discovered:
The fake prince who was pushed out of the city gate to die became the last hope of survival in Blackwater City.
Many years later, the northern cavalry broke through the capital.
The prince revealed his identity in public:
"You're nothing but an impostor!"
Chen Chang'an put on armor and climbed the steps, with 300,000 northern border troops behind him kneeling in unison.
He smiled.
"Fake prince."
"The real world."
