Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

The man who shot the arrow from the roof was dealt with in time by the Xinjiang Northern Army, and the siege of Yanzhou came to an end with the man's roar.

"Young Master Qiu, Lao Zhou knows he was wrong."

After clearing the battlefield, Lieutenant General Zhou finally had the opportunity to stand in front of Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi said calmly, "Deputy General Zhou, go back and tell Xu An about this."

Deputy General Zhou knew that he had made a mistake earlier. He was also a man who could bend and stretch. He gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Dazhi has failed to recognize a great man. He failed to obey Young Master Qiu's orders before the battle. I hope Young Master Qiu will punish him."

Qiao Xi looked at him with a sullen gaze, "Are you willing to be demoted to a captain of a thousand men?"

Before Xu An rebelled, Zhou Dazhi was a captain of a thousand men, and was promoted after Xu An captured the city.

This is equivalent to going back to the pre-liberation era.

But considering what Su Heting said last night, Deputy General Zhou did not think it was wrong that the sentence was demoted instead of executed.

He did disobey military orders last night, but Xu An did not formally give Qiu Bayue a position and only gave him verbal instructions, so he did not take Qiu Bayue seriously.

But after seeing the battlefield, he was completely convinced.

This is how it is in the military camp. Whoever is strong has the right to speak. After this battle, Qiu Bayue will definitely have a high position in the army.

Zhou Dazhi lowered his head and said loudly, "I accept."

As a real man, if you are wrong, you are wrong. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

Qiao Xi nodded and sent him to deal with the surrendered soldiers, while he went to the Yanzhou garrison.

Lou Xin had already brought people to clean up the place, and had sent away all the former servants, leaving a few of his own soldiers here to serve.

Su Heting did not participate in post-war affairs and came here first.

He was slightly injured, with an arrow scratching the back of his hand. When Qiao Xi came, he was reading official documents from northern Xinjiang.

The wound on his hand was roughly wrapped with gauze, and blood was oozing out.

Qiao Xi saw the wound at that time and it was quite deep.

Seeing Su Heting busy with official business, and then looking at herself covered in blood, Qiao Xi turned around and went to her room.

After washing up, after hesitating for a moment, Qiao Xi still went to Su Heting with the ointment.

He is still busy.

Qiao Xi sat down next to him and said, "Give me your hand, I'll help you fix it."

She felt a little guilty and cursed his hand that morning, but she never thought it would come true.

Su Heting turned to look at her.

Seeing that he didn't move, Qiao Xi grabbed his hand and placed it on her knee.

The gauze was untied, and it turned out to be just some medicine sprinkled on it. "Why don't you just deal with it?"

They also brought a military doctor with them.

Su Heting said calmly, "It's not a big deal."

Although we won this time, many of our soldiers were injured. Military doctors treated those with serious injuries first. This was the rule of the Xinjiang Northern Army.

Qiao Xi also guessed that he must be pitying the soldiers, so he said, "I'll ask Lou Xin to buy some pigs and sheep to reward everyone."

It was the Xinjiang Northern Army and Su Heting who contributed this time, but they left all the glory to her.

With this battle tonight, the name Qiu Bayue has become known.

Qiao Xi was grateful.

Su Heting did not refuse.

This is what the soldiers deserve.

Qiao Xi continued, "Now that Yanzhou has been taken, can we wait a while before marching into Yincheng?"

Su Heting raised his eyebrows slightly, motioning her to continue.

"Ji Chuan lost two states in a row and is panicking. He will definitely prepare for war with all his strength.

If we send troops at this time, it will not be as easy as it is in Yanzhou.

We might as well make a knife hanging over Ji Chuan's head.

When he thought we were going to attack, he would hold his ground, but he didn't know when we would move, so he was always on guard and tense.

During this time, we can arrange a few more assassinations against Ji Chuan to distract him. Then, we can attack again, and perhaps the casualties will be much less."

Su Heting nodded. He had the same idea in mind. "You also want to use this to alienate Ji Chuan and the emperor."

It's not a doubt, it's a certainty.

Qiao Xi became alert. Su Heting was really too perceptive.

She nodded.

If Ji Chuan panicked to the extreme, he would ask the emperor for help, but with Xu An's declaration of rebellion in mind, the emperor would not send troops to rescue Ji Chuan.

Because once he sent troops to help Ji Chuan, it would be tantamount to admitting that he and Ji Chuan conspired to kill Xu An's father.

The emperor cares most about reputation.

First he abandoned Ji Yao, and then he stood idly by and watched the plight of southern Xinjiang. Ji Chuan must have resentment towards the emperor.

There was a gap between them, so she could take advantage of it and perhaps find out more about Fourth Brother.

"Ji Chuan is the emperor's hidden power. Dividing them will benefit us."

Qiao Xi didn't dare let Su Heting delve into the real reason why she separated them. He was too smart and didn't know what Fourth Brother's current situation was. Qiao Xi didn't dare to be careless.

So he changed the subject.

"Did you learn martial arts from your grandfather?"

She had seen the shadow of the prince in Su Heting twice. Although the last attempt was unsuccessful, she couldn't help but pay attention to his martial arts last night.

No trace of the prince was found, but there were a few moves that made Qiao Xi feel familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had seen them.

"Some were taught by him, and some were taught by others."

Su Heting asked back, "What about you? How did you learn such a wonderful technique when you are so young and in the harem?"

Qiao Xi paused slightly as she applied the medicine.

She had been in poor health since childhood, so the prince taught her martial arts himself, but that was only to strengthen her body. In addition, she was lazy, so her learning was mediocre.

The real improvement came after she entered the secret factory. Driven by drugs, she learned everything quickly.

The emperor asked her to become the disciple of Lin Yuanbo, the chief commander of the secret factory. Three years later, she defeated Lin Yuanbo.

Some, such as being good at using white silk, were learned by chance in the previous life.

Lin Yuanbo was asked by the emperor to be his disciple. In her mind, the only master who enlightened her was the prince, but what really helped her improve her martial arts was the domineering medicine in her body.

She couldn't tell Su Heting about this. She said, "Maybe I'm gifted. I heard that my grandfather was very skilled in martial arts. What did he do in the past?"

Su Heting became suspicious and shook his head, "When I knew him, his condition was even worse than it is now.

After years of treatment, his condition has improved slightly, but there is no way to know his past."

This is also true.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her, Qiao Xi prepared to leave after treating her wound.

Su Heting then asked, "The person who taught you martial arts treated you very well."

When Qiao Xi thought of the prince, a hint of warmth appeared in her eyes. "Well, he is the best person to me besides my family."

Su Heting lowered his eyes, his gaze filled with gloom.

The last time Qiao Xi tested him, he discovered that Qiao Xi's martial arts were the same as Lin Yuanbo's.

Lin Yuanbo has a good appearance and a clever tongue, and was once a famous playboy in the capital.

His dandy appearance was an illusion to deceive outsiders, but his romantic nature was real. Many noble ladies in the capital were deceived by him and even some palace maids were not spared.

He once wanted to deal with this person, but was stopped by the emperor. It was then that he learned that Lin Yuanbo was actually the commander-in-chief of the emperor's secret factory.

Qiao Xi's martial arts are the same as Lin Yuanbo's. Qiao Xi later also joined the secret factory. Lin Yuanbo died just a few months ago. According to the information he received, Lin Yuanbo was so proud of himself that he dared to touch the concubines in the harem, and was secretly dealt with by the emperor.

Not long after, Qiao Xi contacted him and turned against the emperor. All of this pointed to the fact that the man in Qiao Xi's heart was Lin Yuanbo.

Lin Yuanbo is the best at sweet talk, no wonder Qiao Xi lost her innocence before they even got married.

Now, in order to avenge him, she has made many plans and believes that Lin Yuanbo is the best person in the world to her.

What about him?

"Do you have any other masters?"

Su Heting suppressed his emotions and asked, "Is he good to you?"

Did she still remember that he had taught her martial arts? She had called him Master, but they were engaged and would be husband and wife in the future, so he didn't allow her to call him that, lest outsiders hear and laugh at them for violating moral principles.

Qiao Xi instantly thought of Lin Yuanbo. Thinking of how Lin Yuanbo helped the emperor murder the crown prince, her tone turned several degrees colder. "He's not my master, but someone I wish I could dig out and whip his corpse."

Snapped!

Su Heting crushed the teacup.

Qiao Xi was puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
