After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Your Majesty will suspect that he is also on the side of Prince Yan.

Afterwards, even if His Majesty questioned them, the old marquis and the Prince of Yan's Mansion would be able to find an excuse.

Given Your Majesty's suspicion and current level of stupidity, I'm afraid that with all his suspicion, he will immediately find a way to replace Tang Yuhuai's current position.

Zhou Yichen may not care whether the Tang family will be suspected, but he cannot ignore the envoys who are coming to Beijing now. If they see that the internal affairs of the Great Zhou are so chaotic, I am afraid that this time when they return...

Soon the drums and gongs of war will begin to sound.

He never felt sorry for his father who was always suspicious of this and that, but he didn't want to see the tragedy that happened to the people of Yunzhou happen again.

"Tell me Qibai's location and I'll take people there right away." The old marquis stood up with his back straight.

He is still strong and energetic, and you wouldn't know at all that he is a man in his sixties.

"Is the old marquis planning to go alone?" Tang Yuhuai was a little expectant, but also a little worried.

After all, the old marquis hasn't taken action for many years. If he is really allowed to go alone and something happens, how will he explain to Qi Bai?

The old marquis did not explain. He just turned his head to look at the old butler next to him and moved his wrist.

"Go and recruit thirty-five guards with good martial arts skills to fight with me, and recruit another twenty to deal with the rats outside."

An uncontrollable surge of blood gushed out of Tang Yuhuai's heart. This was the aura of the old marquis, this was the confidence of the old general!

The old butler understood what the old marquis meant. The butler was an old subordinate who had fought on the battlefield with the old marquis, but his leg was pierced and he was left with sequelae, so he could not continue to serve in the army and retired.

There are more than one or two "sweeping monks" like this in the marquis's mansion. The ordinary caretakers and guards in the military families are only more powerful than the best guards in the civil officials' families.

Many of the old marquis's subordinates were selected from his own family to go to the battlefield with him, except for some who had old injuries and could not continue fighting.

He asked them to sign a living contract, which was signed once a year, allowing them to continue staying in the Marquis's Mansion, or manage other businesses for the Marquis's Mansion, serve as managers of the outer courtyards, etc.

The others took away their indentures and received positions. This is why the foundation of military families is always more difficult to shake than that of the upstarts.

Because if you don't investigate carefully, you will never know that those seemingly ordinary seventh-, eighth-, fifth- and sixth-rank generals are related to the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion?

Tang Yuhuai thought that fifteen might not be enough, but then he saw the old butler walking steadily, breathing evenly, and his footsteps were so light that if you didn't listen carefully, you could hardly hear them.

Oh my god, he’s an expert.

If the old butler beside the old marquis is so powerful, then the others...wouldn't all be masters of the same level, right?

Tang Yuhuai was a little surprised. He finally understood why the old marquis could remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis.

If you have a trump card, you will naturally have confidence.

There were already sixty people surrounding Chu Xi, and just when she was surrounded, dozens of people who had previously chased King Yan came back again.

More than thirty of these people were from the Nalan clan. They were proficient in swordsmanship and were more difficult to deal with than the people from Western Chu. All of them surrounded her.

It's like countless ants biting an elephant. No matter how powerful she is, it's hard to avoid...getting hurt.

The Nalan family had always cooperated well, and with the help of those Western Chu people, it was simply...unbearable and annoyed.

Chu Xi had been forced from the rooftop to the main street by them, and before they knew it, they had arrived at... the gate of the Jiang family's business where Chu Xi had previously fought.

Coincidentally, Jiang Zhenyao wanted to avoid the blame from her family and stayed here to sleep. Then she heard the fighting downstairs and opened the window to watch for a while.

Until she saw one of them took advantage of Chu Xi's unpreparedness and tried to attack her, she picked up a hairpin on the table next to her and threw it over, directly piercing the man's arm.

The scream came from behind Chu Xi. She had good hearing and heard the sound of the hairpin flying from the upstairs. She subconsciously looked up.

"Why are you still here?" Chu Xi saw Jiang Zhenyao's smiling face and realized that he was back to the familiar streets.

"It's late at night, why are you watching such a commotion? Close the windows and go to bed," she reminded.

"Do you need my help?" Jiang Zhenyao leaned half of her body against the windowsill, her hair disheveled, and she spoke still so directly.

"...It seems necessary." Chu Xi could not deny that she needed help now.

But...I was the one who caused the trouble. If I ask Jiang Zhenyao for help, I'm afraid that the petty-minded Fifth Prince of Xichu will blame Jiang Zhenyao for it as well.

"But the masters behind these people hold grudges very much, so you'd better not get involved."

"Well, now that you put it that way, I'm even more willing to help."

Chu Xi: “…” You are quite rebellious.

Jiang Zhenyao...always does things unconventionally. She said this with a smile, turned around, picked up the two swords on the bedside, and jumped out of the window.

Her movements were very neat and graceful. Ignoring her long hair that was not loose, Jiang Zhenyao's heroic spirit really made it easy for people to ignore her gender.

After Chu Xi was stunned, he chuckled helplessly.

The situation before her left her no time to explain it to Jiang Zhenyao in detail. She could only remind him, "Be careful."

Jiang Zhenyao gave Chu Xi a confident smile with her chin slightly raised. When she fought with Chu Xi on the ring before, she was using a single sword, but this time she was holding two swords.

"You're so long-winded. While I was killing enemies on the battlefield, you were still watching the falling flowers in the capital."

It sounded like he was disgusted, but in fact, he said it very calmly, without any real disgust in his heart.

Jiang Zhenyao knew that compared to most of the children of aristocratic families in the capital, Chu Qibai was already a leader. At his age, he could disregard life and death, go to the most dangerous places, rush into the enemy's lair single-handedly and rescue several people.

There are not many people with such talent and wisdom. In her opinion, the capital city is prosperous, but it has also nurtured too many incompetent people who are just sitting there doing nothing.

Her talking did not affect her wielding of the two swords at all. The movements of killing people with the two swords were very neat. In actual combat, she was still not as strong as Chu Xi, but she was determined in her goal and was never shaken by external factors.

Facing these assassins whose faces she couldn't see clearly, she showed no mercy and treated them as enemies. She would strike them wherever she could to hurt them!

This kind of character alone makes her stand out among all the women.

She was so engrossed in the killing that when she was surrounded on three sides at the same time, she only had time to deal with the enemies on her left and right, and the one behind her... was about to stab her in the back.

Chu Xi somersaulted in the air and passed over Jiang Zhenyao's head before landing on the ground. At the same time, he used his sword to deflect the opponent's knife. The moment he landed, he stabbed the sword into the man's chest with force.

"Thank you." Jiang Zhenyao chuckled.
