My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Ji Yunshuang didn't give Lu Yinheng and his group many weapons.

Lu Yinheng also adhered to the mentality of using things only when necessary and the principle of using them as little as possible.

Seeing that both grenades he threw had hit the people he had originally targeted, he stopped wasting grenades. However, to ensure that he hadn't killed them, he fired several more shots in the direction of Emperor Xuanzhao and Ling Yixiao.

Although Emperor Xuanzhao was hit by a grenade, his injuries were not fatal thanks to the relentless protection of his guards.

But he was shot by Lu Yinheng's gun.

Upon seeing that Emperor Xuanzhao had been hit by a single shot, Lu Yinheng did not linger any longer and hurriedly retreated with General Yao and the others.

Although their exact location was discovered by the Canglan Army, the Canglan Army was no match for them because they were armed.

Wherever the group passed, a large number of people died or were injured.

The Canglan army, fearing the loss of their weapons, dared not pursue them.

Some people were so scared that they hid back.

Emperor Xuanzhao was shot, and Ling Yixiao was injured by a grenade. The scene was chaotic, and many people were busy rescuing the two of them. No one stepped forward to take charge.

With the Canglan Army leaderless, Lu Yinheng and Yao Guangji easily escaped from the Canglan Army camp.

They not only severely injured Emperor Xuanzhao and Ling Yixiao, but also killed many soldiers, causing indelible damage to the Canglan Army.

Many Canglan soldiers have reached the point where they are terrified at the mere mention of their names.

The final straw that broke the camel's back for the Canglan Army was the death of Emperor Xuanzhao.

After Emperor Xuanzhao was shot, the imperial physicians he brought, as well as all the military doctors in the army, put down their patients and rushed to save Emperor Xuanzhao.

Everyone did their best, but they still couldn't save the person.

Emperor Xuanzhao was shot in the chest; although it wasn't directly in his heart, the bullet penetrated very deeply.

However, this era lacked the advanced medical skills of modern times.

They wanted to remove the bullet from his chest, stop the bleeding, and prevent the wound from becoming infected...

They couldn't do either of them.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Emperor Xuanzhao breathed his last.

The soldiers and accompanying officials dared not accept this reality.

Emperor Xuanzhao died just like that?

He arrived at the army camp, led his soldiers to a defeat, and then died? That spirited king, who had previously dreamt of first conquering the northern pass and then taking over the state of Qi in one fell swoop... just like that, he died before the age of 40?

They died from a strange weapon they had never seen before, and they died so quickly!

Everyone was a little taken aback.

After a long while, someone finally reacted and shouted, "Quick, save General Ling!"

Emperor Xuanzhao is dead, and now only General Ling remains in the army to take charge. If something happens to General Ling as well, they will be in grave danger!

All the imperial physicians and military doctors rushed to treat Ling Yixiao.

Although Ling Yixiao was also seriously injured, his injuries were easier to treat. In the end, they managed to save him.

Although he survived, he lost his eye, which was injured by shrapnel.

When Ling Yixiao woke up, he discovered that he was completely blind in one eye. He nearly fainted again.

His personal guards, seeing that his face looked pale, quickly advised him, "General, you must take care of yourself! His Majesty has perished, and now the entire army depends on you to lead. You must pull yourself together."

Ling Yixiao hadn't recovered from the shock of his blindness when he suffered another blow.

He exclaimed in shock, "What did you say? What happened to His Majesty?"

The guard choked up and said, "His Majesty was hit by that thing, and the wound was very deep. He couldn't be saved."

"How could this happen?" Ling Yixiao struggled to get up. "Impossible! What were all those guards doing? How could His Majesty be injured?"

The guards quickly reached out to stop Ling Yixiao, advising, "General, don't move. The imperial physician said you've injured your leg..."

Thinking of what the imperial physician had said, he almost burst into tears.

The imperial physician said that their general's leg was very likely incurable. Becoming a cripple would be the best-case scenario.

I'm afraid that if things go wrong in the end, I might lose my life too.

He dared not tell him the truth, and quickly changed his story, saying, "The imperial physician said you need to rest well, otherwise it will affect the recovery of your leg."

As soon as Ling Yixiao moved, he felt an excruciating pain.

At that moment, he also remembered his legs.

Even though the guards tried their best to cover it up, he could still see the problem based on his understanding of them.

He hurriedly looked at his leg and said seriously, "What happened to my leg? Tell me the truth, don't lie."

Seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, the guard had no choice but to tell him the facts.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yixiao felt his vision blur. His personal guard hurriedly said, "General, you must hold on! So many soldiers are waiting for you!"

Now that His Majesty is gone, if the soldiers of Qi attack us again... if you don't stand guard, we can only let them slaughter us.

We are all soldiers you personally trained. How can you bear to let us be slaughtered by the soldiers of Qi?

This time, we've lost several thousand more men! Now there's no one in charge, and the army is in chaos. General, you must get well soon!

Ling Yixiao forced himself to say, "Call Yuan Hua over and tell him I have something to arrange."

Yuan Hua was a deputy general, whose position in the army was second only to Ling Yixiao.

When Lu Yinheng threw the grenade, Emperor Xuanzhao was summoning important military generals and accompanying civil officials to discuss matters.

When that grenade was thrown, many important generals and civil officials were injured or killed.

Yuan Hua was the only one who escaped disaster because he was not present at the scene after being instructed to do so.

The guards hurriedly went to summon Yuan Hua.

Upon seeing Yuan Hua, Ling Yixiao hurriedly instructed, "Immediately issue an order for the army to retreat back into the city. Also, send someone to escort His Majesty's remains back to the capital..."

After giving his explanation, Ling Yixiao could no longer hold on and fainted.

Upon seeing Ling Yixiao collapse, chaos erupted once again. After a series of emergency treatments by the imperial physicians, Ling Yixiao was finally out of immediate danger.

Seeing that Emperor Xuanzhao was dead and the Grand General was also in danger of dying at any moment, Yuan Hua dared not delay and immediately gave orders according to Ling Yixiao's command.

The Canglan army retreated back into Canglan territory.

Back at Beiguan, Su Zimu had been sending people to keep an eye on news from the Canglan Army.

Upon learning that the Canglan Kingdom had withdrawn its troops, the entire army cheered.

The soldiers were as happy as if it were New Year's Day.

While happy, he also admired Lu Yinheng and others even more.

The soldiers all praised Lu Yinheng.

"Your Highness is truly a visionary! You are also a master strategist; Canglan has indeed withdrawn its troops."

"Don't you even look at the weapons His Highness and the others are using? Those are divine weapons from heaven, capable of taking on a thousand men single-handedly."

"That's incredible! Your Highness led just that small group of people and stormed the Canglan Army's camp, and they all returned unharmed. I've never heard of anything like that in my entire life. This is truly unprecedented and unparalleled; only Your Highness could have accomplished such a feat."
