The princess is killing like crazy again

Xiao Yurong looked down at the extinguished charcoal fire on the ground, "Anything else?"

Cui Ci Ning made her feel strange, yet familiar, so familiar that he seemed like the Cui Ci Ning from her previous life.

That's why she was panicked, afraid and sad.

"Nothing." Cui Ci Ning stretched out his hand. "My elder brother asked me to hand over the military order to you. You will be in charge of all matters during the suppression of the rebellion in the future."

Xiao Yurong paused, took the military token, and said, "Thank him for me."

I got what I wanted, but I don’t seem that happy.

"I've been very tired lately. My second uncle and the others... you know, I'm not in a good mood. If they did something strange or said something strange, don't take it to heart." Cui Ci Ning said.

He kept his head down and never looked up from beginning to end. After he finished speaking, he walked out.

Xiao Yurong didn't catch up.

Cui Ci Ning walked out of the tent and ran into Li Yaozhi.

When Li Yaozhi's eyes met, Cui Ci Ning and Li Yaozhi nodded to each other.

Li Yaozhi walked into the tent and was not surprised to see Xiao Yurong standing there in a daze, holding the military token in his hand.

"Shao Yan would like to congratulate Your Highness on getting what he wished for." Li Yaozhi said.

Xiao Yurong closed his palm and held the military token tightly, "Yes, I got what I wanted."

Li Yaozhi asked: "Your Highness seems to be worried?"

"Mingyang... doesn't look right today." Xiao Yurong frowned slightly, "Shaoyan, please keep an eye on him for me."

"Yes." Li Yaozhi comforted, "Perhaps the young general is just upset because of the loss of his loved ones."

Xiao Yurong sighed, "I hope I am just overthinking it."

Li Yaozhi said: "I will keep an eye on the young general for Your Highness, so don't worry."

The military command is already in his hands. Now that the imperial army and the Cui family army have temporarily merged, all matters are decided by Xiao Yurong.

However, Xiao Yurong still respectfully called Cui Ci'an "Commander-in-Chief", which made everyone in the Cui family admire him.

The plan was discussed back and forth for several days, and King Wen launched several night attacks.

Fortunately, Xiao Yurong was prepared and was able to fight back, so no major problems occurred.

After many days of preparation, they finally decided to attack and fight King Wen.

"Now, the entire army will rest and gather strength today and be ready to go tomorrow." Xiao Yurong said.

There was a chorus of responses from below.

Xiao Yurong walked out of the tent, but Li Yaozhi, who was supposed to follow him, was a step late and stayed behind.

Everyone with a discerning eye in the army could see that Cui Ci Ning and Xiao Yurong had become estranged, and they all thought that Cui Ci Ning had had a quarrel with Xiao Yurong.

Cui Ci'an shouldn't have cared about these things, but seeing Li Yaozhi and Xiao Yurong going in and out together, and Cui Ci'ning being lukewarm towards Xiao Yurong, he became anxious.

He bumped Cui Qining's elbow and said, "What on earth were you guys arguing about? Whatever it is, go and surrender to the princess."

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Cui Ci Ning said angrily, unable to speak.

Cui Ci'an gave him a look that said "I understand everything." "It's normal for young people to quarrel in a fit of anger. You don't have to feel embarrassed."

Cui Ci Ning was furious, "We didn't quarrel!"

"Don't be embarrassed. I'm your elder brother. Is there anything I can't tell you?" Cui Ci'an said with a sigh, "For example, when your elder brother got married, my third uncle and third aunt taught me the art of sex beforehand."

Cui Ci Ning was shocked, "Brother!"

I didn't expect you to be such a big brother? I also didn't expect Third Uncle to be that kind of Third Uncle and Third Aunt!

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Cui Ci'an patted his shoulder. "In my opinion, a man should be upright and self-reliant. What's wrong with bowing your head and being submissive to a little girl?"

Cui Qining's face darkened. "I've already told you, I didn't quarrel with them!"

Cui Ci'an said this, but his expression was still unconvinced, "Okay, okay, let's not quarrel then."

He glanced at Li Yaozhi who was not far away, "Look at him, he always lowered his head and spoke softly to the princess, you should learn from him. Girls definitely like gentle men, don't always be so rough!"

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Li Yaozhi walked up to Cui Qining and said, "Major General."

"Sir, is there anything wrong?" Cui Ci Ning asked.

Li Yaozhi nodded slightly, "Yes, I have something to say. I wonder if the young general is willing to talk to me?"

Cui Ci Ning nodded, "Okay."

Under the gaze of his elder brother who said, "Brother, I have confidence in you. Don't lose to your rival in love," Cui Ci Ning walked out with Li Yaozhi with a dark face.

"Major General, I have no intention of criticizing you," Li Yaozhi said, "but there have been a lot of rumors recently, saying that the Major General and Your Highness are alienated."

"What do you mean?" Cui Ci Ning stopped when he reached a secluded place.

He stared at Li Yaozhi's face, which was always clear and gentle, and asked, "You and Zhaoyang are allowed to love each other, but there is no distance between the monarch and the subject?"

For some unknown reason, Cui Ci Ning thought of what Xiao Yurong said to the maid in his previous life.

His eyes flickered. "Do I really have to climb onto the princess's bed and become her lover?"

"..." Li Yaozhi looked at Cui Ci Ning in silence.

Cui Ci Ning laughed, "We eat together, live together, go in and out together, who in the camp doesn't know each other?"

Although Li Yaozhi still had a smile on his face, his eyes turned cold. "If the young general's remarks are insulting, then that's too much."

"I don't care what the world thinks of me, but the Major General shouldn't talk about Your Highness like that," he said.

Li Yaozhi paused for a moment, "It is a big taboo for the ruler and his subjects to be alienated."

"So what?" Cui Ci Ning asked.

"This battle is of utmost importance. If Her Highness wants to go into battle, the Major General must come to protect her. I hope the Major General can do his job well and not have any unreasonable expectations." Li Yaozhi said.

This is the warning.

Cui Ci Ning felt like laughing.

As expected of Li Shaoyan, in just such a short period of time, he was able to sense the uniqueness and interests involved just by looking at the vague atmosphere, eyes, expressions and even a few words.

Li Yaozhi said: "I don't know what happened to the young general, and I don't care much about it. I won't delve into it. The young general can rest assured about this."

Cui Ci Ning glanced at him and said, "So all you are planning is to prevent me from doing anything bad to your Highness."

Li Yao just smiled and said nothing.

“Hahahaha!” Cui Ci Ning couldn’t help laughing out loud, “Li Shaoyan really has a plan that is perfect.”

"Young General, you are so flattering." Li Yaozhi laughed, "One force can defeat all enemies. Even if Yaozhi spreads a net of heaven and earth, he can't stop a thousand cavalrymen from sweeping across the plain."

"Ha, one force can break all the skills." Cui Ci Ning repeated this sentence and laughed to himself.

He suddenly attacked, drew his sword and slashed at Li Yaozhi. He did not use his long-handled crescent-shaped sword, but his personal saber.

Li Yaozhi reacted quickly, dodged the long knife and drew out his sword.

The weapons collided, making a loud clanging sound.

Li Yaozhi used his cleverness to dodge Cui Ci Ning's long sword, took a step back and kept a distance from Cui Ci Ning.

"Thank you." Li Yaozhi smiled.

He didn't want to intensify conflicts and incidents, nor did he want to fight with Cui Ci Ning with swords at this critical moment when he was about to go to war.

Cui Qining retracted the knife and said sarcastically: “It seems that the young master is not only Wanhui, but also this strength.”

Li Yaozhi is a truly well-rounded young man from an aristocratic family, with both literary and military skills. With just one sword and one person, he can defeat a hundred cavalrymen.

"Rumor has it that Cui Mingyang, the second son of the Cui family, is brave but not very thoughtful. Now that I see the young general, he shows no emotion on his face and is deep in thought. It turns out that the rumor is false." Li Yaozhi said with a smile.

"Hehe, there are rumors in the streets that the young master has a kind character and does good deeds." Cui Ci Ning sneered.

Li Yaozhi did not argue with Cui Qining, but smiled and said: "Although I don't know the reason, but the young general looks like... occasionally harboring murderous intentions towards Your Highness?"

Occasionally the word is used accurately.

They all knew it tacitly, but they still tried to hide it to some extent.

Cui Ci Ning smiled, "It's your illusion."

"In that case, the young general might as well keep a distance from His Highness after this victory. It would be best if we never meet again, whether we die or not." Li Yaozhi spoke to himself without paying attention to what Cui Ci Ning said.

"Why?" Cui Ci Ning asked.

He also hated Li Yaozhi's appearance of always sitting back on the Diaoyutai.

It seemed that no matter how ostentatious and fluttering the various flags Xiao Yurong had outside, the only flag that stood upright in the center of the house was still Li Yaozhi's flag.

"How can we walk together again when there is already a rift between us?" Li Yaozhi asked back.

Cui Ci Ning was speechless.

Li Yaozhi smiled lightly, "In this case, the young general should also understand that a short pain is worse than a long one."

Li Yaozhi was a man who mixed humility with murder.

His smile was as gentle as jade, but his hands were stained with blood, and even his murderous intent was polite and decent.

"That's all I have to say. I hope the young general will consider what I said carefully." Li Yaozhi bowed to Cui Qining and turned to leave.

Xiao Yurong himself was not aware of the private conversation between Cui Ci Ning and Li Yaozhi.

Li Yaozhi originally strongly disagreed with her going into battle. After all, she had not recovered from her illness yet and was just starting to gain momentum.

Moreover, Xiao Yurong had promised Huo Zhao not to go into battle, but this was just a small matter. He could just act first and report later, and then just appease Huo Zhao when the time came.

Only by taking part in the battle herself can she boost morale.

This is also an experience.

"I heard that King Wen has a counselor under his command." Xiao Yurong stood on the battlefield and inspected the soldiers and generals.

Li Yaozhi smiled, "Yes, the news about the Fuyang Guard Hua tribe. The previous loophole and bait deliberately released to lure the enemy deeper was his idea."

Xiao Yurong nodded, "Yes, he uses troops in a unique way and offers many ingenious strategies. It is said that he is a man sent from heaven and his behavior is different from others."

"Your Highness wants him?" Li Yaozhi saw through Xiao Yurong's thoughts at a glance.

"Shao Yan knows me." Xiao Yurong smiled.

Li Yaozhi smiled and said, "This man's name is Yi Yan. If Your Highness wants him, Shao Yan can take him down."

"It's interesting to have a single name with the word 'Yan' in it." Xiao Yurong curled the corners of his lips.

She looked at the soldiers below who were full of vigor and said, "Let's go."

Everyone began to receive orders and go to their respective posts. The sound of weapons clashing could be heard.

Except for Cui Ci Ning and the third uncle of the Cui family, all the other members of the Cui family stayed behind.

The two armies joined forces and charged straight at the enemy camp.

When one side challenges, the other side will naturally respond.

Xiao Yurong sent Uncle Cui San to attack the camp from behind. The only thing he had to do was to make some noise and disrupt the morale of the troops in the rear of King Wen.

There is a fire in the backyard and someone is challenging us from the front.

King Wen lost the initiative and led his troops to fight with a gloomy face.

Although King Wen was nominally the Rebel King, he was still Xiao Yurong's uncle.

However, he had been in his fiefdom all the time, and except for the annual banquets, Xiao Yurong had basically never seen him a few times, and they had no feelings for each other at all.

If you must say it, King Wen did not get along well with Huo Zhao because he had always looked down on Xiao Yurong's mother.

Earlier, a member of the Huo family was sent as an envoy to convey Emperor Xiao's will, but was framed and executed by King Wen. Since then, the two sides have been irreconcilable.

"Oh, look, it's my little niece!" King Wen said to the deputy general beside him, "Could it be that my Xiao clan is really left with no one? There is not a single man left, so we need a pretty girl to fight in the battlefield?"

The deputy general responded repeatedly, shouting at Xiao Yurong: "Yes! Princess Zhaoyang, why don't your father and brother come?"

"I say, my dear niece! We haven't seen each other for many years, but I didn't expect that we would have to fight as soon as we met! After all, I am your elder. When you see me, shouldn't you be respectful, dismount from your horse, salute me respectfully, and kowtow?" King Wen laughed on his horse.

Cui Ci Ning's face was gloomy.

Uncle Cui said angrily: "What do you mean? This is simply too much!"

"Oh, yes, that's right. After all, you still have Huo's blood in your bones." King Wen said, "The Huo family is a clan on the surface, but they also came from the grassroots. It was only after following the great ancestor to conquer the country and pass through these few generations that they can be considered an aristocratic family."

Li Yaozhi frowned, sensing that King Wen was about to say something. Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong looked at King Wen without changing his expression.

King Wen laughed provocatively: "What did you say? Oh - bastard."

"What did you say?" Uncle Cui's eyes widened in anger. "How dare you say that the princess of the dynasty is... You are simply a traitor!"

"Uncle San." Cui Qining stopped his uncle who was about to rush out, with a bad look on his face, "He has already rebelled, so why would he care about treason?"

"Heh." Xiao Yurong chuckled.

In her hand, she held the famous bow Zhuyan given to her by Cui Ci Ning, drew the bow, drew the arrow, and aimed at King Wen.

She shot the arrow without saying a word, which scared all of King Wen's men.

King Wen ducked in panic to avoid the arrows, and chaos ensued.

Xiao Yurong smiled, "Uncle, my uncle taught me how to shoot arrows. Huo asked me to say hello to him."

"Beat the drum." She suppressed her smile.

"Yes." Li Yaozhi responded.

Yellow sand filled the sky, blowing up Xiao Yurong’s blood-red robe.

Li Yaozhi held a drumstick in his hand and beat the drum with bursts of sound. The war drum was so loud that it seemed as if the mountains were about to topple over. The beats were urgent and urging.

The soldiers below who were ready to go were full of vigor and vitality.

At the command, they charged straight at the rebels.

Amid the sound of fighting, Xiao Yurong drew his bow and shot an arrow, which pierced the sky like a gust of wind and pierced through the enemy's flag.

"The general's flag has fallen! The general's flag has fallen!"

The rebels were immediately thrown into chaos.

The commander's flag is used to encourage his own soldiers to fight bravely, to give orders for assembly in the chaos of the army, and to deter the enemy.

Once the commander's flag is lost, the will to fight is lost, and the morale of the army will naturally be gone.

As soon as this happened, the general's flag fell.

"Where is the flag guard camp?!" King Wen was furious and shouted, "Are they all just here to eat? The general's flag has fallen!"
