Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Now that they had conquered Zhao, Li Chengming and Yu Qiaoyun were naturally no longer in the original palace. Li Yinyin led people to pack up the items at the encampment, and then had the girls put on specially made beautiful light armor before heading straight for Zhao.

They thought that once their elder brother conquered Zhao, their journey to the capital would be unimpeded. However, when they reached a valley, the scouts suggested that the caravan stop.

"Your Highness, there are many birds circling in the air ahead, refusing to land. There may be someone in the forest."

Li Yinyin lifted the curtain and looked outside, and found that it was indeed as the scout had said. Moreover, there was a very narrow section of the valley they were going to pass through. If someone ambushed them in the valley and rolled large rocks down from above, they would suffer heavy losses.

She thought for a moment and called over the girls in the reconnaissance squad: "You've learned so much before, but it's all just theory. Even if you split into teams to practice against each other, it will never compare to real combat."

"Now the opportunity has come, good girls, go ahead and take a look. If there really is an ambush, we might even be able to bring the enemy's head as a gift to congratulate our elder brother on his ascension to the throne."

"We'll definitely complete the mission!" the reconnaissance team responded. After a brief discussion, they went straight into the forest.

Li Yinyin waited for less than half an hour before the girls returned unharmed.

"There are about three hundred men lying in ambush in the valley ahead, and they have prepared a lot of stones, bows and arrows, etc."

"They all speak with a Zhao accent. From what I've heard, their leader is the Ninth Prince's eldest son who fled, and he wants to capture Your Highness to threaten the Lord."

Li Yinyin sat upright in the carriage: "Leave a small squad to protect me. The rest of you, capture the traitors and do not let a single one escape. Go!"

Li Yinyin made arrangements, and Li Chengming also learned that someone dared to ambush his sister outside the capital. He immediately darkened his face and ordered his troops to take down those audacious remnants of the Zhao Kingdom.

But when the general leading the army arrived, he happened to catch Li Yinyin's convoy passing through the valley.

Upon seeing the terrain, the commanding general was terrified and immediately shouted, "Your Highness, be careful!"

But nothing happened by the time he reached Li Yinyin's side. Just as he was wondering about this, he suddenly smelled blood.

His lieutenant behind him suddenly reminded him, "General, look over there!"

"What's behind?" The general shifted his gaze to the rear, only to see girls dressed in red, with one or more heads casually tied to the back of each horse, and at the very back, there were traitors tied to the back of their horses with ropes.

"General Bian, did my elder brother send you to pick me up?" Li Yinyin smiled. "Thank you for coming all this way, General Bian, but everything is alright now."

Indeed, they were alright. General Bian couldn't help but take a few more glances. Apart from a few people who looked unwell and seemed to be injured, the rest of the people were basically fine.

He glanced at the so-called female guards several more times. Their spirit and energy were unmatched by many veterans. Only under the command of some famous generals with strict discipline could such a beautiful and well-proportioned team be formed, making them the envy of others.

General Bian stood guard beside Li Yinyin for a long time before finally asking, "Your Highness, who trained these female guards?"

Li Yinyin did not reply, but Xiao Fu, who was sitting on the carriage shaft because she was too young to ride a horse alone, spoke up: "Of course we were personally brought out by His Highness. Who else but His Highness could have such ability?"

General Bian initially didn't believe it, but then he considered that His Highness had been busy with the affairs of Zhao Kingdom, from conscription to training, and even some well-known civil officials had no time to care about the female guards. Moreover, since His Highness established the female guards, he had basically lived and ate with them in the mountains, rarely leaving. Apart from communicating with his lord and wife, he hadn't seen them interact much with others, so he couldn't help but believe it.

After all, apart from His Highness's female guards, he had never seen any of his lord's subordinates' armies look like this.

Many people knew that General Bian had rushed out of the capital to provide assistance. Seeing how hurried they were, everyone guessed that something was about to happen to the prince who was favored by the future emperor. But who would have thought that he would reappear outside the city gate in less than an hour?

"How come it's so fast? This should only take the time to make a round trip, right?"

"Could it be that General Bian arrived too late, and that His Highness has already met with misfortune, and General Bian only made it in time... What is that?"

After General Bian's troops entered the city first, a group of women dressed in black armor followed closely behind.

These women held their heads high with pride, looking even more beautiful than the soldiers behind General Bian. The only flaw was that many of their light armor had dark stains on it.

As they got closer, the group of people who had been speculating began to realize something.

"That's not a stain, that's blood! Look at the head hanging behind the horse, that's the eldest son of the last emperor of the previous dynasty!"

"Really? That's the last emperor's eldest son, he almost became the crown prince!"

"I absolutely did not mistake him! I was selling things on the street during the New Year when he overturned my stall and broke my leg. If it weren't for Young Master Jing pleading for me, I would have lost my life. It's a pity that Young Master Jing's good deeds didn't go well, the Jing family... So I absolutely would not mistake him. I would recognize such an enemy even if he were ashes!"

"Wow, these female soldiers are really something. They even managed to behead someone like him."

"How can they be so great? General Bian even led men to provide reinforcements. How can it not be General Bian's achievement that was stolen by these women?"

"General Bian has only been out of the city for a short time. Let alone whether it's enough time for a battle, look at those prisoners being led behind him. Do you think they'd follow so obediently like they do now?"

The people were talking about it, but none of it reached Li Yinyin and the female guard's ears. After all, being able to generate such a level of discussion meant that they would be remembered.

With that initial impression, their names will surely become even more renowned, so renowned that they cannot be ignored!

The news from the city gate quickly reached the palace. When Li Yinyin arrived, Li Chengming and Yu Qiaoyun were already waiting outside the palace gate with a group of officials.

Once Li Yinyin stepped off the carriage, the two of them could no longer tolerate the presence of anyone else.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I've arrived."

"Okay, okay," the two of them said, pulling Li Yinyin around to examine her carefully. They were relieved to find no injuries.

"He's taller, thinner, and a bit darker."

Li Yinyin trained with the female guards. Even though her performance wasn't great, she developed a muscular physique. Her skin tone also changed due to being constantly exposed to the sun. However, her energy and spirit were better than ever before, and her personality also changed considerably.

After they had looked around enough, Li Yinyin said, "Big brother, I have a congratulatory gift for you."

Li Chengming asked expectantly, "What is it?"

Li Yinyin tilted her head, and the female guards scattered to the side, revealing a group of prisoners.

"The last emperor's eldest son, I heard he ran away? Now, he's right here."

"Big brother, do you like this gift?"
