The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

"kill!"

"Kill the traitor!"

The murderous black-armored army quickly rushed towards the battlefield on the mountain road.

They wore uniform black armor, and each one was tall and mighty, each one as tall as a mountain. In their hands, they held divine weapons forged from fine steel, and from a distance, they looked like gods of death descending to earth.

On Fang Xurao's side, they had already lost all hope, and everyone exuded despair and exhaustion.

The sudden shouts were like thunder, lifting everyone's spirits. Fang Xurao was so excited that he could hardly contain himself and shouted with all his might.

"Reinforcements are here! Our reinforcements are here! Hold on, everyone!"

Those who had looked dead just now now straightened their backs and swung their weapons with more force.

Meng Yun took the lead and stood at the front, raising his sword and pointing it at Shang Yihai: "How dare you, this scoundrel, assassinate an imperial official? Capture him!"

Shang Yihai had never seen such an army before and was immediately frightened.

"Kill them! Kill them! I have money! Kill them all and there will be a reward!"

While pushing the people around him forward, he secretly retreated and hid behind, not daring to show up again.

Zhang Qianzong and Hu Qianzong were both veterans of the battlefield, so their reactions were quite quick. They first organized their troops and formed up their formation.

When I saw that the enemy wasn't that numerous, I felt a little relieved. They had the advantage in numbers.

"Prepare to charge!"

"kill!"

The border guards, relying on their numbers, launched a preemptive strike, charging at the black-armored soldiers with swords raised. However, the black-armored soldiers remained calm and organized, easily blocking their attacks, and the weapons in the hands of the border guards broke one after another.

Faced with such powerful weapons, the border guards were completely helpless and were slaughtered. Their proud armor was as fragile as paper under the sharp blades of the Black Armored Army, vulnerable to a single blow.

The black-armored army moved unimpeded, leaving border guards falling to the ground and blood splattering everywhere. Their attack speed was extremely fast, and each blow accurately struck the enemy's vital points, making it impossible for them to dodge.

In just half an hour, the outcome of the battle was decided.

Zhang and Hu didn't expect that the opponent's equipment would be so terrifying!

"What kind of weapon is this? It's so powerful!"

Faced with such a terrifying black-armored army, knowing that if they continued fighting, their entire army would be annihilated, they made a quick decision and retreated immediately.

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"

After hearing the order, the border guards turned around and retreated to Fangjia Village as if they had been pardoned. However, Shang Yihai had already fled back to Fangjia Village.

Meng Yun let out a long sigh. In fact, he was not sure about the outcome. After all, he only had two hundred people, while the other side had two thousand.

He didn't expect to win so easily. He looked at the sword in his hand. This was given to him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He didn't expect it to be a real sword.

Seeing the border guards finally retreat, Fang Xurao plopped down on the ground, no longer caring about his image. County Magistrate Zheng's legs were similarly weak, but he didn't dare sit down, fearing it would be disrespectful in front of Fang Xurao.

The villagers of Fangjia Village were like survivors of a disaster, and no one had time to catch their breath. Village chief Fang, with his son and grandson, hurried to check on the injured and seriously injured. As for the dead villagers, their bodies could only be collected later.

"Master Fang, how are you?" Meng Yun hurried forward to check on Fang Xurao's situation.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..."

After Fang Xurao calmed down, he stood up again: "General Meng, have you seen Miss Mu? Is she okay?"

Meng Yun spoke the truth and simply said a few words: "...It's not advisable to stay here for long, let's leave here first!"

Fang Xurao glanced at the people from Fangjia Village again: "General Meng, these people are all from my clan. Can I take them with me?"

Meng Yun didn't agree directly: "Let's put them in a safe place first, and report back to His Highness before taking any action! We can find some military doctors to treat their injuries first."

Fang Xurao felt that what Meng Yun said made sense, so Meng Yun sent the Black Armored Army to temporarily place the villagers and seriously injured people by the pond.

He also sent people to guard the mountain road and closely monitor the movements of Fangjia Village. Only after all arrangements were made did he lead his men up the mountain.

As soon as Meng Yun, Fang Xurao and others entered the camp, a guard came to report that His Highness was waiting for them in the meeting tent.

"Your Highness is awake?" Meng Yun asked in surprise.

On the way back, he was constantly worried about the prince's health, wondering how his injuries had progressed and whether he would faint for a whole day and night like before. Unexpectedly, he woke up so quickly this time. Miss Mu must have been amazing.

This tent was temporarily built for meetings. It was very simple inside, with a thick carpet on the floor and a long table with two oil lamps on it and a few cushions placed around it.

Meng Yun, Fang Xurao and County Magistrate Zheng entered the tent together and greeted Yun Qing first.

"No need to be so polite, just sit down and rest for a while, I'll be ready soon."

The three of them lowered their heads respectfully, each finding a cushion to sit on. The tent instantly became quiet, with only the rustling of writing to be heard.

County Magistrate Zheng couldn't help but be curious and secretly looked up at the person at the top.

Yun Qing was wearing a cloak with a white fur collar. He sat cross-legged with his back straight, holding a brush in his hand, writing something furiously.

Mu Qingcheng sat at the side of the desk, equally absorbed in writing and drawing. Her pale blue dress contrasted with Yun Qing's white, creating a beautiful painting that instantly illuminated the humble tent.

Both of them lowered their heads and no one spoke, but the two figures were so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off them.

County Magistrate Zheng's eyes widened. Is this the Crown Prince of Da Qi? Such an absolutely stunning demeanor is truly astonishing.

County Magistrate Zheng was very sensible and he didn't dare to even look at Mu Qingcheng.

However, just looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was enough to amaze him, and he forgot that he was peeping.

After a while, Yun Qing finally stopped writing. He glanced at the three people, his gaze focused on County Magistrate Zheng.

County Magistrate Zheng's eyes trembled slightly, and he quickly looked away, his heart pounding with fear.

Yun Qing ignored his gaze and asked, "Are you Lord Zheng, the magistrate of Qingle County?"

County Magistrate Zheng quickly saluted Yun Qing again, but Yun Qing waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with County Magistrate Zheng. As soon as the sun rises, I will send someone to escort you down the mountain. Go down and rest first!"

He knew the Crown Prince had something to discuss and was deliberately sending him away. However, County Magistrate Zheng knew his place. As a seventh-rank official, he didn't want to get involved, so he quickly left the tent.

"How's things going down the mountain?" This was obviously a question to Meng Yun.

"Shang Yihai led his men back to Fangjia Village. We didn't dare to enter the village and only sent people to guard outside the village and on the mountain road."

Yun Qing: "Send another person to keep an eye on Chang Youliang. If they go to get reinforcements, kill them immediately! We must fight a quick battle in Fangjia Village."

Meng Yun: "Your Highness! We are outnumbered. If we want to end this quickly, we can only launch a surprise attack and then cooperate with the enemy from inside and outside!"

Fang Xurao was a little worried: "Your Highness, what will we do with these people after we capture them? With so many people leaving the camp, Chang Youjiang might not be unaware of it! Maybe he did it on purpose!"

Yun Qing sneered, "Did he do it on purpose? Great! His purpose is nothing more than to take advantage of the situation to send out troops, so that he can have a legitimate reason to capture us all in one fell swoop. This means he's already the Queen's man! But I just want to take a gamble, bet he's still the old Marquis's man."

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Meng Yun said, "Then let's capture the people in Fangjia Village first, and then go negotiate with Chang Youliang."

Yun Qing shook his head. "What's there to discuss with him? Shang Yihai has been entrenched in the tiny Qingle County for all these years. Isn't he just trying to win over Chang Youliang for the Queen's faction? This time, I want to see who he really is."

Fang Xurao disagreed. Isn't this too risky? There is 50% risk whether it is true or not. They can't afford to lose!

"Why don't we send someone to test the waters first? If he has any ulterior motives, we can immediately retreat back to Jiangzhou and find a solution."

It is impossible to retreat. Yun Qing just wants the military power in Chang Youliang's hands, and this is an opportunity.

"If he can voluntarily surrender, that would be the best. If he dares to have other intentions, we can just deal with him and find someone from our own team to take his place."

This is Yun Qing’s purpose.
