After being reborn, I went on a killing spree in the imperial court.

The Shu Kingdom's military camp.

The military camp was heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling the area vigilantly with long spears to prevent enemy attacks. Just then, a commotion broke out inside Xiao Hanfeng's tent.

"A bunch of useless idiots! They can't even transport the artillery properly! Go back to China and try again!"

Xiao Hanfeng roared angrily, his voice echoing throughout the entire military camp, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Han Ting stepped forward and cautiously reminded him, "Fifth Prince! We only have a few artillery pieces left, and we can't make any more in a short time!"

"Useless! Then notify the Ordnance Bureau to redo it!" Xiao Hanfeng shouted sternly.

“Normally it takes us more than half a month to make a cannon carriage. Even if we manage to make one now, we probably won’t be able to use it!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hanfeng became even angrier. He reached out and grabbed Hanting's collar. The two were very close, and Xiao Hanfeng's bloodshot eyes stared straight at him, making Hanting's heart tremble.

"Five days! I'm only giving you five days!" Xiao Hanfeng calmed down, released him, smiled slightly, and said softly, "If you can't do it, the entire Ordnance Bureau clan and your entire clan will be executed!"

Upon hearing Xiao Hanfeng's gentle yet ruthless words, Han Ting froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

His eyes widened, his face filled with terror, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Suddenly, as if he had lost all support, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Yes... I understand, I'll get on it right away!" Han Ting stammered, his voice filled with fear and panic. He scrambled to his feet and tumbled towards the tent entrance.

Just as Hanting hurriedly walked out of the tent, he bumped into someone—Chu Yan.

Chu Yan was pale and wore a snow fox fur cloak. He looked extremely weak, as if he might collapse at any moment. Beside him, Xuan Feng was carefully supporting him. The two of them stood at the doorway.

Han Ting bowed and left the tent.

Chu Yan and Xuan Feng looked at each other before entering the tent.

"Fifth Imperial Brother!"

"Brother, why did you get out of bed!" Xiao Hanfeng's previous irritation vanished completely from his face.

Xiao Hanfeng stepped forward to help him.

What were you arguing about just now?

"Brother, come on! Sit down first!" Xiao Hanfeng helped Chu Yan sit down and poured him some hot tea.

"Alas, it's all because of our cannons; they were all captured by the Wei princess!"

"The artillery vehicle was captured?"

Xiao Hanfeng scratched his head in frustration.

Seeing this, Chu Yan could only respond, "How could this be? How could the princess of Wei know which way we were going?"

"Yes! I also find it strange; she seems to know a lot about our Shu Kingdom!"

Chu Yan fell into deep thought, and she was also puzzled as to why she knew that Shu Kingdom's weapons needed to be transported.

Xiao Hanjing and Bai Lu must have said something again.

That's good. It would be even better if Xiao Hanfeng would back down and not fight.

"Fifth Brother, I think this princess is not easy to deal with. Perhaps we should consider this carefully!"

"She's just a woman, how powerful can she be! I heard from Hanting before my brother came that although this princess is quite good at fighting, she's already married. It seems that Wei really has no one left."

Xiao Hanfeng had other plans.

"We issued a declaration of war to the State of Chen; it would be inappropriate to turn our attention to the State of Wei now!"

"What's inappropriate about it! Our Shu Kingdom's ambition to unify the world is about to be realized."

"Such a sneak attack will be ridiculed by the world!" Chu Yan insisted.

Hearing Chu Yan's insistence, Xiao Hanfeng thought about it and realized that something was indeed amiss, so he chuckled lightly.

"Brother is right, we should still prioritize the State of Chen."

"What battle plan is Fifth Brother preparing to formulate?"

Xiao Hanfeng seemed to be deep in thought, a smile playing on his lips. "Did they think that our Shu Kingdom couldn't fight without weapons?"

"Even without the artillery carts, our Shu cavalry can still wipe them out," Xiao Hanfeng said confidently.

"Let's wait until I'm healed, then we can fight again together!"

Chu Yan still wanted to stall for time.

"Brother, you should rest well here! Wait for news of my triumphant return the day after tomorrow!"

Xuanfeng helped Chu Yan out of the tent.

"Your Highness, should we send a message to the princess?"

"Didn't we inform Marquis Zhenbei before? There should be no problem!"

Chu Yan looked preoccupied, his brows furrowed, as if he had other plans.

-

Cao Yuan sat on the bed, holding the deployment map in her hand and looking at it carefully. She always felt that the purpose of the Shu Kingdom's war was not pure.

What could their purpose be? Is it related to Wei Guohui?

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Bai Lu rushed in, carrying a steaming bowl of medicine steadily in her petite hands.

"Princess! Why are you looking at these things again!" Bai Lu scolded as she quickly walked to the bedside and carefully placed the medicine bowl in her hand on the small table by the bedside.

Without hesitation, she reached out and snatched the control map from Cao Yuan's tightly held hand.

"I...I was just looking around...cough cough cough..." Cao Yuan tried to explain, but before she could finish speaking, a violent coughing fit surged forth like a tidal wave. Each cough felt like a heavy hammer blow to her chest, causing her unbearable pain, and her already pale face became even more haggard due to the pain.

Bai Lu carefully handed over the bowl of still-steaming medicine and said softly, "Drink the medicine quickly!"

Cao Yuan frowned. As soon as she got close to the bowl of medicine, a pungent smell hit her so hard that her stomach churned and she couldn't help but gag.

After finally managing to stop feeling nauseous, she asked with disgust, "What kind of medicine is this? Why does it smell so awful! Was it prescribed by a military doctor? I feel like I've been drinking medicine all day!"

Bai Lu was startled when she heard this, but she still nodded calmly and said, "Yes...yes! It was prescribed by the military doctor." Her eyes flickered involuntarily, and she dared not meet Cao Yuan's gaze, because Chu Yan had specifically instructed her not to let Cao Yuan know that he had carefully prepared this prescription.

"Princess, don't worry! Would I lie to you? The army doctor said it's a folk remedy. Just drink it for a few more days, and with the wound medicine I gave you, I guarantee you'll be back on the battlefield in a few days!"

Cao Yuan looked at the murky medicinal soup, but still didn't really want to drink it.

Do you want to stay in bed all the time?

Hearing this, Cao Yuan wavered and could only obediently drink it down. Whatever it was, the most important thing was to get better quickly.

"Princess, you should rest early after taking your medicine so that you can better win this battle!"

"By the way! Has Ayin finished drawing the artillery vehicle?"

Bai Lu said helplessly, "Princess, it's only been a day! Miss Ayin is really amazing, she's almost finished drawing it. I'll go and make some more changes later, and it should be done."
