You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Fighting against the Prince's Mansion.

That night, Zhao Jingchen brought Ling Feng and others back to Prince Zhan's Mansion, and Manager Qu took out a visiting card from his arms.

"Your Highness, this is a visiting card sent by the Third Prince. I, this old servant, took it upon myself to refuse it on your behalf, saying that you have been unwell recently and cannot see guests.

But the visitor had a smile on his face and a very respectful attitude that made people feel uneasy. When he left, he said that the Third Prince would come in the afternoon.

Zhao Jingchen took it, glanced at it, and threw it to the ground.

"Come visit me? Over the years, I've been tortured to the point of near death by them. He's the most ruthless of them all, and I've never seen him show mercy. How could he be so kind as to come visit me?"

Li Mingzhao curled his lips and said, "Your Highness, he chose this time to come. It must be like what you said, he wants to gain a good reputation and do it for the people to see."

"He wants to gain a good reputation by stepping on me, but it has to be my pleasure.

"Master Qu, inform everyone that the prince's condition has worsened tonight, and tomorrow the Zhan Palace will be closed to all visitors. No matter who it is, no one will be allowed to see us!"

Humph, if you want to use me as a raft, then I will give you a cold shoulder. You will come here with great joy but leave in disgrace.

"What's going on in the palace?"

A secret guard stepped forward and replied, "The news that has been sent back says that the emperor has been sleeping most of the time, and the Dragon Shadow Guards are guarding the Yangxin Palace, not leaving a step."

The secret guard paused, then continued, "The princess's carriage has arrived in Qingzhou, still sixty or seventy miles from the capital."

"Where are the courtiers?"

"I haven't been in court these past two days, and some officials have already signed a petition to ask the Third Prince to be regent."

Haha... I knew it would be like this. The third brother is really good at planning.

Zhao Jingchen sneered and walked into the study, where Shang Jue, Rong Chunlin and others were.

When the two saw Zhao Jingchen come in, they stood up and bowed with a smile.

Zhao Jingchen sat down at the desk and asked, "What brings you both here?"

Rong Chunlin said, "Your Highness, I have already gathered all my men to deal with the Third Prince, to prevent him from taking desperate measures."

Zhao Jingchen nodded after pondering.

"Well, now that the Dragon Shadow Guard has suffered heavy losses and is no longer in its prime, and the situation hasn't been handed over to him yet, he has limited manpower and may not be able to make the jump, but it's always good to be on guard.

After the Second Prince's Palace was taken back, what happened to his subordinates?"

Rong Chunlin sighed, "The Third Prince's men attacked and strangled them, and they were leaderless. When disaster struck, they each fled. It's truly a case of people leaving and the tea getting cold."

Zhao Jingchen agreed with Rong Chunlin's words in his heart.

Over the years, they have been suppressing me. If I don't have some manpower and skills, my fate will be even worse than the second one.

Isn't that how the world works? The strong prey on the weak. If you're weak, you'll be bullied. If you want to survive, you have to be stronger than others.

Shang Jue glanced at Zhao Jingchen, who lowered his head in silence, and gently waved his fan: "Chunlin, you were once a general who led the charge into battle, so why are you acting like a woman in the backyard, feeling melancholy about the passing of time?"

"Hey, what are you saying? Who's imitating the women in the backyard? Can't men feel a little bit? Are you asking for a beating?"

Rong Chunlin pretended to raise his hand, but Shang Jue blocked it with his fan. "Go ahead and hit me. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

The two of them chatted, laughed and joked with each other, which successfully brought Zhao Jingchen back to his senses.

"Shang Jue, is there anything you need to be reminded of recently?"

"No, the border issue should have been settled. General Mu will return with Mu Yihui and his son as planned."

"Well, the Imperial Aunt is almost here. By the way, how are things going at the farm in the countryside?"

When mentioning the country village, Shang Jue's expression changed.

"The second old master was abused by the people on the farm, and his health was worn down and he fell ill.

The day before yesterday, as soon as the old man and his men arrived, they rushed to treat him and killed some people on the farm.

Now that the Second Old Master is getting better, I think the old man will confront him soon. I heard that the old man is a very upright person. I wonder what he will do? "

Several people fell silent.

I guess no one can remain calm when faced with this situation, right?

This kind of human tragedy has been common since ancient times. Who can blame the temptation of money?!

The next day, Zhao Jingchen took his men to the general's mansion as usual.

At dinner time, Zhao Jingchen asked softly, "Ge'er, do you know what's going on at the farm?"

Mu Yunge's face darkened.

"I know. After you left last night, the secret guard sent back a message. Grandfather is going to tell Second Grandfather about what happened today. I really don't dare to think about what Second Grandfather will do."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Don't overthink it. I think the situation at the border has been resolved in the past two days. General Mu will bring them back."

"I hope there are no accidents!"

"Don't worry! General Mu's men, together with my own, will ensure nothing goes wrong."

"Do you have anyone else there?"

"Well, not many, just a few. They went there when I delivered the letter later, just to make sure nothing unexpected happened."

Mu Yunge thanked him gratefully, "Zixuan, thank you so much!"

"It would be awkward to say thank you. I'm also considering the overall situation. General Mu leads hundreds of thousands of Mu family soldiers and shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding the northern border. He cannot make any mistakes for both public and private reasons."

Now, several countries surrounding Dayan feel that Dayan has run out of luck and are ready to make moves. If something happens in the north again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The third brother is short-sighted. He only sees the small piece of land in front of him and cannot see the surrounding situation clearly.

No, or rather, he arrogantly thought that he was capable of handling both internal and external troubles.

Seeing Zhao Jingchen frowning slightly, Mu Yunge comforted him, "Don't worry, my father and brothers fell into their trap in the past because they were not on guard against their relatives.

As for the surrounding countries, once the situation in the capital is resolved, we will be able to free up our hands to deal with them."

The two quickly finished their breakfast and gathered everyone together to summarize the results of the training.

"Your current martial arts skills have improved a lot compared to when you first started. You may not have the opportunity to train like this again in the future. I have taught you everything I should have taught you. Everything depends on you."

The girls looked at each other and bowed to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Masters!"

Zhao Jingchen raised his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. If you have any questions about martial arts, you can always come to the palace to ask.

Next, let them teach you some practical fighting moves."

After saying that, he waved his hand and dismissed them.

Zhao Jingchen smiled and said to Mu Yunge, "You are making the fastest progress. Now, if you fight with me within 20 moves, there will be no problem.

Practice the moves I taught you in the future, and with practice, you'll be able to fight even against ordinary Dragon Shadow Guards."

Mu Yunge smiled brightly, "This is all thanks to you, thank you, Zixuan.

If those neighboring countries dare to start a war, I am willing to fight alongside you and restore peace and prosperity to Da Yan."

Zhao Jingchen nodded happily.

With Ge'er by my side, what do I have to be afraid of? Everything is just a paper tiger.

"Okay, I'll teach you a few more moves."

As the two men were about to start their battle, a secret guard from the palace came rushing over...
