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

Cao Yuan raised her spear and swung it, pointing the tip at Ma Lai's neck, and said fiercely, "Ma Lai! You beast, how dare you close the city gate!"

"Where is General Liu! Let me tell you, if even a single hair on their head is missing, I will make sure your entire Chen Guoquan family is buried with them!"

"you dare!"

Ma looked at the soldiers around him and said, "Charge! Do you think two women can stand against a thousand soldiers?"

The soldiers under her command all pointed their guns at the two women, but none of them dared to step forward.

"A bunch of trash!"

Upon seeing Cao Yuan's bloodshot eyes, Ma Lai snatched a soldier's spear, intending to fight Cao Yuan.

"Report! General!"

A soldier, covered in blood, scrambled up from downstairs, shouting, "It's terrible! There's a new squad of Wei soldiers downstairs! About five hundred of them!"

The Malay stared wide-eyed, completely unaware of what had happened.

Without hesitation, Cao Yuan raised his spear and swung it forcefully, sending the horse crashing to the ground and galloping towards the city walls.

When she arrived downstairs, the sight before her filled her with joy—it was indeed General Liu leading his elite troops, charging towards the city gate like tigers.

"Open the city gates quickly! Let the princess into the city!" General Liu shouted excitedly, his voice trembling.

The city gates were opened by soldiers.

Cao Yuan shouted loudly, "General Liu! You're still alive!"

Cao Yuan's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she rushed towards General Liu, throwing herself into his arms.

General Liu hugged Cao Yuan tightly. Cao Yuan carefully examined General Liu, her eyes filled with concern and surprise. Seeing that General Liu had no injuries, only a few specks of blood, Cao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Princess!"

"Princess, what are you doing on the city wall? How did you get in?" General Liu grasped Cao Yuan's arm.

"It was Miss Mu. Miss Mu pulled me up from the city wall."

"Oh right! Where's Cen Yin? Why are there still troops in the city?" Cao Yuan asked incredulously.

"Cen Yin and Bai Lu were rescued by a man in white!"

"White clothes?"

"It should be Xiao Hanjing!"

"Thanks to Xiao Xing... no, I mean the First Prince! Before the war even started, the First Prince had Bai Lu give me a secret letter, saying that he was afraid of unforeseen changes in Chen Kingdom, so he specifically asked me to secretly leave a team in the city!"

"Chu Yan!" Cao Yuan's eyes darted around, filled with both surprise and emotion.

"Princess! The Chen Kingdom harbors treacherous ambitions. We should head to Liucheng immediately! The letter sent by the Marquis has been intercepted by these people."

Mu Yezhi walked over with difficulty, "Actually, I came here to deliver a message to you!"

"Did your maternal grandfather send you?"

Cao Yuan's eyes were filled with surprise.

Mu Yezhi looked troubled, her lips trembling slightly, as if she had something she couldn't say. Her gaze was fixed on Cao Yuan, her eyes filled with complex emotions and hesitation.

Cao Yuan stared wide-eyed at Mu Yezhi, her face full of anticipation, as if hoping to hear some good news from her. However, when Mu Yezhi finally gritted her teeth and uttered those words with difficulty, the whole world seemed to freeze instantly.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei led his troops to defend Liucheng and was attacked... killed in action." These words struck Cao Yuan like a bolt from the blue, leaving her completely stunned. The spear slipped from her hand, making a crisp sound, but no one paid any attention at the moment.

Cao Yuan's body stiffened, unable to move, as if bound by an invisible force. Her eyes quickly filled with bloodshot veins, tears welling up, threatening to spill over at any moment.

"Impossible! How could the Marquis have died in battle! The Marquis was so brave and skilled in battle, he couldn't possibly die like this!" General Liu, who was standing to the side, was also stunned. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He suddenly knelt down and gripped the ground tightly with both hands, hoping that this was just a nightmare.

"Impossible! We've already started over, how could this happen! You're lying to me, you're lying to us! My grandfather won't die!" Cao Yuan gripped Mu Yezhi's hand tightly and shook it incessantly.

"Your friend Xiao Xing is here too! It can't be fake!"

Chu Yan! What's he doing there!

Cao Yuan completely lost her strength, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam. She raised her head, looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Why? Why did this happen to me? Why is it the same ending even after being reborn!" she roared in her heart, questioning the heavens. She had thought that being reborn would change her fate, but now everything had vanished like a bubble; all her efforts had been a joke.

why!

Why make her experience the loss of two loved ones!

General Liu wiped away his tears, his mouth agape as he choked out, "Princess! I want to go back! I don't believe the Marquis is dead like this!"

"Go back! Yes, we must go back!" Cao Yuan came to her senses and nodded in response.

The city gates were then closed.

“You can’t go back!” Malay stood at the entrance of the city gate.

Cao Yuan and the others were all surrounded.

"All soldiers, listen to my command! Follow me and charge out!" Cao Yuan shouted, gripping his gun tightly.

A fierce battle ensued immediately afterward.

The Chen soldiers who had just been trapped outside also joined the fierce battle.

"Brothers, the state is heartless! We will help the princess of Wei fight her way out."

"it is good!"

The soldiers of Chen reopened the city gates.

"Do you want to rebel?"

Malay shouted at the soldiers.

"We brothers have risked our lives for the Chen Kingdom! How could you close the city gates without caring about our lives!"

"You're not fit to be our general! I quit!"

"Brothers, if you deal with this kind of guy, you're either dead this time or you'll be dead next time!"

Some soldiers, swayed by them, also threw down their weapons and refused to fight against the Wei state.

"Princess! Let's go!" General Liu and the others withdrew from the State of Chen.

"Malay! I won't hold this against you today! But on the battlefield tomorrow, I will avenge this humiliation!"

Upon reaching the city gate, Cao Yuan uttered a harsh threat and quickly left with them.

Finally, they were some distance from the State of Chen, and then they sat down on the ground.

"Miss Mu, thank you so much for coming to my rescue this time!"

"It's nothing!"

"I didn't have time to ask my maternal grandfather what happened while I was in the city," Cao Yuan said, her eyes welling up with tears.

Everyone listened quietly to what Mu Ye had to say.

"I don't know the specifics either. The Shu army suddenly attacked the city with great force. Although their numbers were small, the existing troops in Liucheng were not able to withstand them!"

"The Marquis of Zhenbei said he had sent several letters but received no reply, so he ordered me to go there. I never expected that there would actually be a change in the situation in Chen!"

"When I turned back, the Marquis of Zhenbei went to support Liucheng, but was ambushed and his entire army was wiped out. All I saw was that the Shu army had captured the Marquis of Zhenbei's military flag! I wanted to rush up and take it back, but Xiao Xing told me to go and deliver a message first, in case there was any trouble in Chen!"

"No! He can't have died if he didn't see the body! He definitely can't!"

General Liu still held a sliver of hope for the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Hearing them say that, Mu Yezhi didn't say anything more. Perhaps this would give them a glimmer of hope!
