The princess is killing like crazy again

The arrow was able to penetrate the commander's flag only because these people looked down on Xiao Yurong as a princess who was raised in a secluded place and unknown to the world.

Because they believed that Xiao Yurong only had some fancy moves and would be so frightened on the battlefield that he would tremble in fear and hide behind someone without even daring to breathe.

They all looked down on Xiao Yurong, but it was Xiao Yurong who shot an arrow through and knocked down their general flag.

The two armies engaged in a scuffle, with the Imperial Army being unstoppable.

"Bite them all to death!" Xiao Yurong shouted.

King Wen had a strong army, so he had to go deep into the hinterland and fight them to death so that they could not attack on a large scale.

The tip of the knife passed over his head, and Xiao Yurong ducked to avoid the attack.

She is good at riding and shooting, but it is really difficult for her to perform at a close distance.

She drew her bow on horseback and shot the man who had just attacked her in the head, splashing blood and brains all over her.

King Wen rushed forward with a spear in hand, "Prepare to die!"

What he wanted was to capture the leader first. Since the person leading this battle was Xiao Yurong, he would naturally kill her first to dampen the morale of the imperial army.

Xiao Yurong bent down on his horse, drew his sword to block the spear, and used the force to deflect King Wen's spear.

As a general protecting the commander-in-chief, Cui Ci Ning’s duty, besides killing the enemies, was most importantly to protect Xiao Yurong and ensure that she was not killed.

Cui Ci Ning cut off King Wen's horse's neck with one knife, and the warhorse fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

King Wen rolled several times on the ground before getting up, and awkwardly dodged Cui Ci Ning's knife attack from above.

"You brat!" King Wen raised his gun and stabbed Cui Ci Ning.

Cui Ci Ning took the shot head-on, and swung his crescent-shaped sword towards King Wen, chopping him down.

King Wen wailed and retreated repeatedly.

If he had not made a quick decision to step back, he would have been chopped in half by Cui Qining.

Looking at the bloody hole on Cui Qining's shoulder, King Wen was furious: "Mad man!"

"You killed my second uncle, second aunt, and fifth brother. You should go down and accompany them!" Cui Qining sneered and chopped with a knife.

"Even if you kill me, they can't come back!" King Wen grinned and blocked with his gun.

Just as he finished speaking, an arrow came from behind and pierced his head.

His eyes widened and he fell to the ground, lifeless.

King Wen fell down in front of him, and Cui Ci Ning saw the girl in red black armor on horseback behind King Wen.

Xiao Yurong put down his bow and said, "Uncle, the Huo family sends you greetings."

Cui Ci Ning looked at Xiao Yurong's face which was splattered with blood and looked weird.

He jumped on his horse and shouted, "King Wen is dead!"

"King Wen is dead!" the soldiers of the imperial army shouted loudly.

The deafening sound echoed across the battlefield.

The commander-in-chief is dead and the flag has fallen.

Immediately, the rebels were thrown into chaos, and many of them abandoned their weapons and armor and fled.

But there were still some who resisted stubbornly, and there were still generals who shouted: "No retreat! No retreat! All deserters will be killed!"

The urgent news of the rebels' defeat at the front reached the Pingnan City in the rear, which had been occupied by King Wen.

Panic.

"Military Advisor!" The people below were at a loss, "What should we do? The king is dead, why don't we surrender?"

They usually just obeyed King Wen's orders, and King Wen only listened to this counselor and did not allow them to think.

After a while, they now regard this strategist as their backbone.

Hearing this, the people at the table couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Surrender?"

There is a certain cynicism in his eyes, but he is actually quite affectionate. When he looks at people with his peach blossom eyes, it seems that he is heartless, but also that he is deeply affectionate but unwilling to express it.

"If you surrender, they will let you go?" Yi Yan said slowly, "Listen to me, let them break in, I have my own way to deal with it."

His lord had just died, but he didn't seem sad at all, as if it was supposed to be so.

The people below looked at each other in bewilderment. They had long been restricted by King Wen and were not allowed to use their brains, so they were used to following orders.

Now that someone is in charge, they still choose to believe Yi Yan.

Yi Yan watched them carry out their duties according to his instructions.

He let out a light click.

King Wen was a fool. He was ambitious, reckless and arbitrary. Even if he did not follow the history, he would surely fail.

It’s just the difference between dying early or late.

Considering that King Wen had been treating him well and treating him well for so long since he came to this strange world, he decided to help King Wen take revenge.

But it's really strange. According to history, Princess Zhaoyang did not have military power at this time. How could she be directly sent to quell the rebellion and suppress the enemy?

Could it be that the butterfly effect became uncontrollable because of the slight flapping of his butterfly wings?

But it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s fun.

Yi Yan finished his thinking and leaned lazily in his chair.

That's right, he traveled from a highly developed and strange world in the future.

As a time traveler, he knew something about the endings of all the famous figures in this world.

Now comes the fun part.

Just as Yi Yan expected, after the war, the victorious Imperial Army relaxed its vigilance.

Pingnan directly opened the city gate, and King Wen's deputy general went out to surrender.

The door was opened to welcome Xiao Yu into the main Pingnan, and everything went incredibly smoothly.

Li Yaozhi was skeptical, "It went too smoothly."

"So, Shao Yan means to bring more people into the city?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Although they had their doubts, they had finally won the battle, and the soldiers needed to boost their morale and go into the city to relax.

If the situation continues to pile up, I'm afraid there will be voices of dissatisfaction among the military.

Moreover, if we recover Pingnan quickly, with a precedent, it will be much easier to recover Yunshui and Luoti.

After that, it will be just a matter of time before all of King Wen's remaining troops, fiefdoms, etc. are taken in.

"Your Highness, do you need to send someone into the city to investigate first?" Li Yaozhi asked.

Xiao Yurong nodded, "I've sent someone to check it out, and there's nothing unusual."

Cui Qining said: "King Wen has oppressed the people of Pingnan for a long time, and they have long been dissatisfied. Now that Pingnan has been recovered, they are overjoyed and have no time to celebrate."

"Yes, since we have already sent people to check it out, I think there should be no problem." Uncle Cui responded, "If it really doesn't work, bring more people and ask Ci Ning to go with you."

As he spoke, he winked at Cui Ci Ning.

The meaning is obvious. Don't waste the opportunity given to you. Seize it.

Cui Ci Ning's eyebrows twitched.

"In that case, I would like to trouble the young general to accompany Your Highness on this journey." Li Yaozhi bowed to Cui Ci Ning.

Li Yaozhi was still very skeptical about this matter, but there was a general behind him who would rather die than surrender. He led a team out of the city gate, shouting for revenge.

It was directly suppressed by the Imperial Army, although it still disturbed many soldiers.

There were also those who would rather die than surrender, and were directly executed by Xiao Yurong.

The rest seemed to surrender sincerely.

This incident did help Li Yaozhi dispel some of his doubts.

Li Yaozhi also wanted to follow Xiao Yurong into Pingnan City, but he had to stay in the military camp outside the city.

Just in case, there would be someone to pick you up.

Now that things had come to this, Cui Ci Ning was already in the position and had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

When Xiao Yurong entered the city, Cui Ci Ning accompanied her on horseback and brought a team of soldiers with him.

The surroundings seem peaceful and comfortable, but there are also voices of dissatisfaction.

This is normal. Xiao Yurong pretended not to hear.

The rebel general who stayed behind in Pingnan was also the general who had led the surrender by opening the city gate. He respectfully welcomed Xiao Yurong and his party to take control of Pingnan.

Not only did he arrange accommodation and food for them, he also presented the city's defense map and informed all of King Wen's former subordinates.

"I heard that you have a military advisor named Yi Yan. Ask him to come see me." Xiao Yurong ordered the generals.

The general said respectfully, "Yes, Princess, please have your meal first. The military advisor has known that the princess has entered Pingnan. He is now burning incense and bathing. He will come to see the princess when he is ready."

After saying that, he retreated.

It seems that the people here are very respectful to Yi Yan. Xiao Yurong figured out their attitude.

The rest of the people brought into the city were arranged in other rooms and residences, and only Cui Ci Ning was left behind to guard Xiao Yurong.

Although they are still in an inexplicably awkward state, they are doing their job as usual.

At this critical juncture, Cui Ci Ning would definitely do his best and would not let Xiao Yurong die here.

Cui Ci Ning was still confused.

No matter how much I hate it, the true feelings I once had cannot be faked.

Now Xiao Yurong did nothing and knew nothing.

Such feelings cannot be expressed in words, just like holding a mouthful of diluted alum, which can neither be spit out nor swallowed.

A little bit of corrosion, that spicy sweet taste contains a strange smell of blood. Flowing down the esophagus, it will cause heartburn, and when swallowed into the stomach, it will give the illusion of warmth.

In the end, their hearts and mouths were stuck together and they couldn't open up.

Xiao Yurong ignored Cui Ci Ning's complicated feelings.

Looking at the table full of delicious food in front of him, Xiao Yurong still remained cautious.

She took out the needle bag that Li Yaozhi had prepared for her, picked up a silver needle and carefully probed each dish.

Only after making sure that all the food was non-toxic did Xiao Yurong start eating.

After a few bites, the taste was not satisfactory.

Xiao Yurong curled her lips and noticed that Cui Qining was looking at her with a complicated expression. She did not move, "Why are you standing there?"

"Sit down and eat. It's not poisonous." Xiao Yurong said concisely.

Cui Ci Ning sat down, holding the chopsticks stiffly for a long while, before he began to eat in a serious manner.

After taking just two bites, there was a commotion outside.

It was already night, and there was a flickering fire outside the door.

Cui Ci Ning and Xiao Yurong both frowned and looked at each other.

I'm afraid something has happened.

Cui Ci Ning immediately stood up and stood in front of Xiao Yurong, putting his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Cui Ci Ning did not bring any long weapons with him, and only carried a sword with him.

Xiao Yurong didn't bring a bow either. He only carried the dagger that Wang Fuxuan gave him with him just in case.

It sounded like someone was fighting, and the sound of weapons clashing was getting closer.

The door was flung open, and a soldier covered in blood rushed in, kneeling on the ground and shouting, "Princess Major General! Go!"

"The remnants of King Wen have rebelled! They are bringing people to kill us! They have not surrendered, this is all a trap!" He reported hastily, "The person who planned it is..."

Before he could finish his words, a stray arrow interrupted the rest of his speech, and the soldier fell stiffly to the ground.

Xiao Yurong stood up and looked outside the door with a serious expression.

The person who had just shot the arrow handed the bow to the person next to him.

He looked at Xiao Yurong with a smile, "Hello, Princess."

Xiao Yurong and his few remaining soldiers slowly retreated, surrounding the door to protect their master.

Cui Ci Ning also stood at the door with a knife in his hand, in a guarding posture.

"Let me introduce myself. It's our first time meeting, little princess." Yi Yan said with a smile, "I am King Wen's counselor, the person you have always wanted to meet, Yi Yan."

Yi Yan tilted his head, "Oh, that's weird. How come you grow up so fast? This really shouldn't happen. You should take your time, at least until your dear father dies."

Xiao Yurong frowned as he looked at the man who was talking nonsense.

"It's even more strange that this General Cui is guarding you. When did your relationship become so good? It's really puzzling." Yi Yan pinched his chin and looked the two of them up and down.

He sighed again, "What surprised me is that it was this major general who came with you, not Li Yaozhi."

No one paid any attention to him. He just kept talking to himself and didn't feel embarrassed.

"I'd like to meet Li Shaoyan, the man with all his plans. I want to see how powerful this all-round talent in history, this young genius who died young, is." Yi Yan said.

He smiled shyly again: "I really don't know whether I, a human from the new world who knows everything, am more powerful, or he, a natural genius."

"What do you mean? What does it mean to die young?" Xiao Yurong was shocked.

In his previous life, Li Yaozhi did die young.

If the dream she had while she was sick was true, then in her previous life, Li Yaozhi committed suicide shortly after she did so.

"Hehe, guess?" Yi Yan laughed.

He shook his finger. "It's quite interesting, isn't it? A character like this would actually die for love. If he had lived longer, I don't know how the history books would describe him."

Except for Xiao Yurong, everyone thought he was talking nonsense.

"Mad man." Cui Ci Ning frowned.

But the current situation is indeed not optimistic.

Not to mention whether Li Yaozhi can receive the message and come to support, even if he comes, he may not be able to catch up with them all alive.

Yi Yan said with a smile: "Are you still thinking about how to deal with me if you survive? Don't even think about it, you will all die here!"

"King Wen is dead, why do you have to do this for him?" Xiao Yurong frowned and advised, "You also know that I recruit talents widely, and I have always wanted to recruit you. If you are willing to change your master now, I am willing to forgive the past and keep you safe."

“Hahahahahahaha!” Yi Yan burst into laughter.

He laughed so hard that he fell over. "Princess Zhaoyang, who was famous for her beauty and cruelty in later generations, actually said something like "let bygones be bygones". It's really hard to believe."

Yi Yan suddenly stopped smiling and said quietly, "As for me, I don't really care whether King Wen lives or dies."

Xiao Yurong said: "Since you don't care, why not..."

"No." Yi Yan said with a smile, "I do this purely for fun."

Xiao Yurong stood there in a daze.

If it was any other reason, Xiao Yurong would still find ways to persuade him.

But he is as crazy as myself. How can I persuade him for this reason?
