After traveling through time, I became a princess in ancient times

Inside Prince Nan's mansion, Ren Chennan stood in the middle of the study and kicked the carved table beside him hard. With a "crash", porcelain fragments scattered all over the floor. The crisp cracking sound echoed in the room, just like his broken mood at the moment.

"Why is my brother so biased? Do you really want to hand over the Dragon Kingdom to that useless King Beiling?"

Every word of his hoarse voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with anger, and his gloomy eyes flashed with a dark light, like the sea on the eve of a storm, with undercurrents surging and a tsunami likely to erupt at any time.

The five guards sat silently and loyally in the study, and the atmosphere was filled with a tense feeling of impending storm.

"Since my brother is determined to protect him, don't blame me for being ruthless. It's better not to sit on the throne."

One of the guards stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, shall we start the incident immediately?"

Ren Chennan turned around and swept his cold eyes across the faces of each guard, finally stopping on the person who asked the question.

"Have you mastered all the military tokens of the four great generals?"

Another guard stepped forward, looking a little embarrassed: "Reporting to the prince, I used their wives and children as bait, but the four generals still swore to be loyal to the King of War. They said that the King of War has made great contributions to the country and has been kind to the people, and they swear not to betray him."

He walked to the window with a little reluctance, staring at the blurry skyline in the distance. That was the direction of the border, and it was also the place where the War King Ren Chenfeng fought bloody battles.

"Forget it. The border war is tense and my second brother is leading the army to resist the foreign enemies. Let's put this matter aside for now. Send down the order to gather the troops and force the emperor to abdicate in three days."

The guard standing on the far left took a step forward and reminded: "The most powerful fighter in the city right now is Lieutenant General Liu."

Ren Chennan turned to the guard who had raised the concern and said in a deep voice, "Lieutenant General Liu is indeed a big obstacle, but he is devoted to the country, and I cannot bring myself to kill such a loyal and righteous man."

At this moment, the fake Li Wei came to the study and said to Ren Chennan: "Your Majesty, I can help you remove the obstacles."

He stared at the fake Li Wei and asked tentatively: "Aren't you a confidant of Deputy General Liu? Why are you helping me? Could it be... that there is some ulterior motive behind this?"

The fake Li Wei smiled profoundly: "Those who accomplish great things are not particular about trivial matters, and they also need to know how to use the power of others to defeat them. Although Deputy General Liu is loyal, his subordinates are not united. I do have selfish motives, but I know the general trend of the world. Only a wise ruler can lead the Dragon Kingdom to prosperity. I am willing to pave the way for you, Your Majesty. Only you, Your Majesty, can lead the Dragon Kingdom to glory."

If it were someone else, they would have been convinced by this flattery, but Ren Chennan still had some doubts about his identity.

"Since you want to be loyal to me, then tell me your identity. Otherwise... why should I trust you?"

The fake Li Wei slowly took a few steps forward until he was only an arm's length away from Ren Chennan: "Your Highness is indeed very smart. Li Wei is indeed dead, but I am not your enemy. If you want to achieve great things, only I can remove the stumbling blocks for you."

Ren Chennan suddenly wrapped his hand around the fake Li Wei's neck and held it tightly. Their foreheads were almost touching, and there was a tension between their breathing that could not be ignored.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he whispered viciously: "If you didn't still have some value, you would have been a lonely ghost on the road to the underworld by now."

As he spoke, a murderous aura rose up, as if the air had solidified and even time had stopped at that moment.

The fake Li Wei's eyes were unusually calm, without the slightest fear. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile, and that smile held some unfathomable meaning.

He suddenly touched Ren Chennan's hand that was clasped on his neck. The action seemed to be both calming an angry beast and challenging the other party's authority.

"Your Highness, calm down. Since I dare to stand here, I have my confidence. If you don't have me as a stepping stone for your grand plan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve success."

The air seemed to be ignited, and Ren Chennan said with a grim expression: "Dare to threaten me? It depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

He suddenly stretched out his right hand, a cold light flashed, and the meteor gun hanging in the corner of the study was pulled by an invisible force and fell into his palm in an instant.

The tip of the gun tapped the ground lightly, making a crisp metallic grinding sound, which frightened the five guards and made them dare not move.

The fake Li Wei instead showed a playful smile, stood still, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, several flying needles as thin as cow hair shot out from his sleeves and flew towards Ren Chennan's door.

The two men fought from the study all the way to the courtyard. Ren Chennan's body suddenly jumped up like a dragon soaring into the sky. The Meteor Spear in his hand turned into a silver dragon. Every strike accurately blocked the flying needles that were difficult to capture with the naked eye.

As the tip of the gun danced, it brought about a whistling sound that blew the dust in the air into all directions.

The warm winter sun shone through the clouds onto the courtyard. The fake Li Wei moved left and right in the shadows, and each dodge was just right, as if he could predict his opponent's every move.

Even though he was in danger, the calmness he displayed made people feel chilled.

Suddenly, the fake Li Wei retreated several steps and raised his hands. Dozens of flying needles gathered into a silver rain curtain, attacking Ren Chennan all over the place. Each of the high-speed flying needles was sharp enough to penetrate heavy armor.

Upon seeing this, Ren Chennan's eyes suddenly lit up, the true energy in his body surged like a river, and his full strength as a mid-stage grandmaster burst out.

He stepped on the ground, which cracked as it could not withstand the force, and his body instantly rose high and rushed towards the roof.

The tip of the gun cut through the air, leaving behind a series of silver trails, which collided violently with the rain of flying needles in the air, and the sparks it sparked were like the most dazzling meteor shower in the night sky.

For a moment, tiles were flying and two figures were shuttling back and forth between the roofs at such a fast speed that only an afterimage was left behind.

Ren Chennan swung his gun, the tip of the gun carried an overwhelming force, but he dodged it sideways at an incredible angle. At the same time, several flying needles shot out from his sleeves again, the tips of the needles flashed cold light in the sunlight and went straight to the vital points.

The Meteor Spear instantly transformed into several spear shadows, like a large silver net that intercepted all the flying needles, vividly and fully demonstrating the ultimate control of strength by the grandmaster-level warrior.

The fake Li Wei retreated violently and instantly merged into the surrounding shadows, leaving behind only a low and strange laugh.

Ren Chennan stood on the roof holding a meteor gun and looked around vigilantly, but he could no longer find any trace of the mysterious figure.

The slanting sunlight stretched his figure into a long and slender shape, and the dust settled in the strong wind. Everything seemed so unreal, as if the thrilling fight just now was just a dream. But the true energy in his body had not yet subsided, reminding him that it had indeed happened.

A slight sound of breaking wind suddenly came from behind. Ren Chennan did not move, but judged the direction just by hearing. He turned around and swept across, but only swept into nothingness.

The fake Li Wei's proud and provocative voice was heard in the air: "Your Highness is indeed extraordinary, but the real competition has just begun, just wait for good news from me."

As soon as the words fell, a faint black shadow flashed by at the edge of the courtyard wall, so fast that one almost thought it was an illusion.

Ren Chennan stared at the disappearing direction, feeling inexplicably nervous. This was not only a provocation under the mask, but also a silent warning to himself. There must be a conspiracy quietly growing behind it that he was unaware of.
