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

Cao Yuan ran to the city gate, clinging to it unwillingly, trying to push it open.

"Open the door! Malaysia!"

"Why are the city gates closed! We came to support the State of Chen, how can your State of Chen be so treacherous! I want to see the ruler of your State of Chen."

No matter how much Cao Yuan knocked on the door, the person inside didn't budge.

Cao Yuan looked at the group of soldiers behind her. Some of them were from the Chen Kingdom. They were fighting for their country, and some were wounded and others died. Their country had closed its city gates and let them die in battle. Now they were heartbroken and filled with despair.

"Malay! Open the door for me! You need to think this through. Are you also going to abandon your Chen soldiers? How can you bear to watch them die like this! Let them go to their deaths!" Cao Yuan pleaded.

"Open the door! Open the door!" The Wei soldiers beside him shouted in unison.

"General Liu! Cen Yin! Can you hear my voice?" However, only deathly silence and the tightly closed city gates answered her.

Cao Yuan's ominous premonition grew stronger. She knew that if the situation outside the city was delayed any longer, not only would the situation outside the city be precarious, but General Liu and his men inside the city would also likely encounter misfortune.

Cao Yuan peered through the crack in the door and saw figures inside. She tried to persuade the soldiers inside, "Listen up, you inside! Are you going to just stand by and watch your comrades die at the hands of the enemy?"

"How can you do this to those who fought and bled on the front lines?"

"We're here to help you! Do you think that just because we're dead, no one will know about the evil deeds you've committed?"

"Military orders are absolute! Are you going to listen to them even if they're wrong?"

The soldiers behind the door looked at each other, lowered their heads in shame, but dared not disobey orders.

Seeing their desperate struggle, Xiao Hanfeng waved his hand, signaling the Shu army to cease their attack.

"Since they have already been abandoned, why not eliminate them completely?" Han Ting suggested upon seeing this.

Xiao Hanfeng shook his head.

"No! We need to hurry to Liucheng! We'll leave this place to her."

Han Ting frowned. Usually, when fighting against other countries, they would wipe them out completely. Why was he thinking of retreating this time?

Just as Hanting was having doubts, Xiao Hanfeng said again, "Don't worry! When we return from Wei, we might not have to lose a single soldier to take Chen!"

Han Ting nodded in agreement, "Your Highness is indeed a step ahead!"

The Shu army flags were waving in the air, and when the Shu soldiers saw the flags, they all withdrew.

"Your Highness! The Shu Kingdom has withdrawn its troops!"

the soldier shouted.

"We didn't even wipe out the enemy! We've been abandoned by our own country!"

Yes! She was abandoned.

It's the State of Chen again.

"Defending their own country, only to be abandoned by their own country in the end!"

"We're not defending this city!"

The soldiers of Chen all threw down their weapons.

Cao Yuan picked up her gun, her eyes ruthless, and rallied the troops, "Since they are so heartless, then follow me and charge into the city!"

“Chen soldiers who wish to follow me into the city will become servants of the Marquis of Zhenbei.”

"Hahahaha!" A piercing laugh came from upstairs.

Cao Yuan and the others looked up and saw that it was Malaysia.

"Malaysia! You shameless scoundrel, how could you be so heartless and ungrateful?"

"Where is General Liu? Where is Cen Yin? What have you done to them?!"

"Hmph, what fate can a turtle in a jar possibly have? It'll be torn to pieces, of course!"

"You dare! Do you really think that just because Shu has withdrawn its troops, your city gates are safe? That's utterly delusional!"

Cao Yuan gritted her teeth and said, her eyes burning with rage. She gripped the spear tightly in her hand, the tip of which gleamed coldly, as if it were about to pierce the enemy's throat at any moment.

Her voice was icy cold and filled with murderous intent, sending chills down one's spine.

Upon hearing this, Ma Lai's face turned deathly pale, but he still forced himself to remain calm and replied, "Princess, things have come to this point, and I will no longer conceal the truth. The reason the Shu Kingdom withdrew its troops was not because of you, but because they had already gone to Liucheng!"

"what?"

"A few days ago, the Marquis of Zhenbei sent a letter saying that the Shu army was in Liucheng! Now, I suppose even the city walls are gone!"

"How could you know! Why didn't I know anything about this!"

After a moment, Cao Yuan suddenly realized, "You withheld the letter my maternal grandfather gave me!"

"Beasts! You bunch of beasts!"

"Archers, prepare!" Malay gave the order again.

All the arrows on the city wall were aimed at the people below.

Cao Yuan shielded the other soldiers behind her.

"Now that the artillery carts are ready, your Wei Kingdom is no longer of any value."

"Princess! After you die, I will send someone to Wei to deliver a message! Say that the princess of Wei died for her country, how about that? Maybe they can even posthumously honor you! Hahahaha!" Ma Lai's smug face was simply disgusting.

"If the Shu army attacks us again later, I can get Wei to send troops to support us again!"

"Malay, you'll get your comeuppance! Even if I die and become a vengeful ghost, I won't let you go!"

Malay sneered, "Loose the arrows! Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

Cao Yuan entered combat mode, gripping her spear tightly and staring intently at the city wall.

Before the arrows from upstairs could be fired, Cao Yuan suddenly felt a gust of wind pass by her ear, and several arrows flew past behind her, killing all the soldiers upstairs.

Upon hearing the sound, Cao Yuan and the others turned around to look.

A fine horse galloped in, and the rider, dressed in a pale yellow robe, was Mu Yezhi, who came alone. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, holding the reins tightly in his hand as he rode his precious steed, carrying a quiver full of arrows on his back.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of horses' hooves, "clatter clatter clatter..." echoed through the night sky like the beat of drums.

"Giddy up!" The voice was loud and powerful.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Yezhi arrived in front of the group and reined in his horse. "Princess! That's really not fair of you! You didn't even invite me to join you on such a great occasion as attacking the Chen Kingdom!"

After saying that, she looked intently at Cao Yuan, waiting for her answer.

"Miss Mu! How come you..." Cao Yuan didn't expect that they would meet again, and that she would be alone.

"Further words are useless! Does the princess wish to enter the city? I can fight my way in with you!"

"You? Miss Mu, this is a war zone, not a game! We wouldn't know what to do if we went in!"

Although Cao Yuan knew she was a skilled archer, with only a handful of people to attack the city, she couldn't do it.

"Fire arrows!"

Soon another troop of archers came up on the city wall, ready to shoot.

With a flick of her sleeve, Mu Yezhi shot out a rope with a grappling hook at one end. The hook grabbed the top of the city wall, and before Cao Yuan could react, Mu Yezhi wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her up with her.

The two went directly from the ground to the top of the city wall.

The men on the city wall were startled by the two women.

"You, you guys!"
