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

A flash of cold light suddenly appeared, hurtling through the air like lightning.

At this critical moment, the flying sword collided head-on with the broadsword in the soldier's hand!

In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of metal clashing resounded through the sky, deafeningly loud!

"who!"

Fan Qingli sheathed his sword. "How dare you, a soldier, point a knife at innocent civilians? What is your punishment?"

"Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in our government's affairs? Do you even know whose territory this Anzhou is?"

"Whose territory is it? I want to hear whose land the Great Wei Empire belongs to!" Fan Qingli said angrily.

"Hmph, a mere Sima has to ask the people for money just to take a concubine. What a joke."

"Since you're from out of town, I'll tell you. Our Anzhou relies on the Governor's Office."

"It's just a governor's office. When did it become so powerful that it can rob and plunder like a bandit?" Fan Qingli said disdainfully.

"Our Chief Secretary Liu's sister is the brother-in-law of the current Marquis of Ping Le, and the current Fourth Princess is our Chief Secretary Liu's niece. Are you scared yet!"

"Not only do they have to pay, but you also have to pay when you pass through Anzhou." The leading soldier pointed his broadsword at them.

"Do you know who I am?"

"who are you?"

"Hmph, but I am..."

Just as Fan Qingli was about to introduce himself, Cao Yuan interrupted, "Two people who stood up for justice. How are you any different from the bandits on the mountain roads?"

"Brothers, how about we tie this woman up and give her to Qin Sima as a concubine?"

"it is good!"

The soldiers cheered with joy.

"Then feel free to give it a try!" Cao Yuan smiled.

Cao Yuan looked at Fan Qingli, who quickly defeated the group of people in just a few moves.

Fan Qingli expected cheers from behind, but suddenly a vendor in the crowd shouted, "What are you guys doing causing trouble? Get out of here!"

"Yes, let's go quickly."

The vendors nearby started swearing at them.

“You people are so ungrateful! Weren’t we doing this for you?” Fan Qingli shouted.

“This is our business. You two outsiders shouldn’t cause trouble on our turf.”

"Who needs your help? Did we beg you for help? Get out of here!"

"Yes, let's go! Let's go!"

"Everyone, do you really want to be oppressed by them forever? We are here to stand up for justice for you!" Cao Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Who asked you to uphold justice for us? Get out of Anzhou now!"

"Yeah, get out of Anju!"

Several agitated villagers threw pieces of rotten and smelly vegetable leaves at them.

"Hey! What exactly are you guys trying to do?!"

Fan Qingli roared angrily at those people, his face full of rage.

However, Cao Yuan and Fan Qingli did not stop being attacked by his roar. More dirty and smelly eggs and all sorts of messy, foul-smelling vegetable leaves were continuously thrown at them.

Just then, a black figure suddenly swept across the sky like lightning and stood firmly in front of the two of them.

He quickly opened a huge umbrella, blocking all the flying debris.

"Come on!"

Chu Yan escorted Cao Yuan and Fan Qingli away from this chaotic place.

Entering a secluded alley, the people stopped and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that they had shaken off the others.

"I've really gotten myself into trouble; they're all a bunch of troublemakers!" Fan Qingli said angrily.

They straightened their clothes, which were covered in vegetable leaves.

Green leaves and egg yolk were stuck to its clothes, hair, and even face.

This was the first time Chu Yan had seen Cao Yuan in such a sorry state. He had never seen Cao Yuan so humiliated in the capital.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at? Don't laugh at me!"

"I thought the princess wouldn't suffer a setback!"

Cao Yuan rolled her eyes at him; that was really going too far.

“Hey, Chu…”

Cao Yuan quickly swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

"Xiao Xing! Why are you here? Didn't you say you couldn't come because you had something to do?"

"I'm afraid the princess won't be able to handle it alone," Chu Yan said with a slight smile.

"You've arrived, why don't you show yourself? What are you up to by watching us get pelted with vegetable leaves?" Cao Yuan reprimanded sharply, her tone laced with reproach.

"It was my fault. I thought that if the princess could even deal with the Fourth Prince, these common people would be no problem at all."

"By the way, Lord Fan, this is my newly hired advisor!"

"Thank you!" Fan Qingli said.

“Your actions are far too reckless,” Chu Yan said. “They are all people who have suffered greatly from the oppression of the Governor’s Office. If we punish these lowly soldiers, new soldiers will come to oppress them.”

"To them, we were just standing up for what was right, but to them, we were adding insult to injury. The Governor's Office has always been hereditary, so to them, it doesn't matter who runs the Governor's Office."

Cao Yuan and the other person fell silent.

"It seems you did your research before you came," Cao Yuan said.

“The Anzhou government and the governor’s office are in cahoots. You have already alerted them.”

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Cao Yuan asked.

"Go back first! If you want to solve the root problem, you have to go back to the Governor's Mansion."

"us?"

Cao Yuan and Fan Qingli looked at each other.

"You should take care of important matters when you return to the Governor's Office. Oppressing the people is not something the Ministry of War should be concerned with."

"Alright then, let's go back first."

"Remember to go back and change your clothes," Chu Yan reminded him.

Cao Yuan and Fan Qingli walked outside.

"Your Highness, isn't he coming back with us?" Fan Qingli asked.

"Who cares? He probably has other plans," Cao Yuan said dismissively.

Inside the Governor's Mansion.

Qin Sima and Liu Changshi were discussing quietly in the hall.

"Chief Secretary, those two on the street ran away. You didn't see the scene; they were like rats crossing the street. Who knew she would be a prince!" Qin Sima laughed.

"Alright, alright, don't get too cocky. The scouts reported that they went to the military camp, so it seems they know we're not paying the soldiers." Chief Secretary Liu stroked his beard. "They're just a few kids, enough to scare them away, they'll never amount to anything."

"The Chief Secretary is right. Shouldn't we try to win these two over? They are the late Crown Prince's younger sisters."

"They're all royalty; everyone knows everyone else's capabilities. Go and prepare a few..."

Liu Changshi leaned close to his ear and said.

Suddenly, Jinzhu seemed to have taken the wrong turn and passed by outside the door.

In an instant, Qin Sima's mind wandered off somewhere else.

Did you remember what I told you?

Liu Changshi said solemnly.

"Listen, I heard you."

"Let me tell you, we don't even know who she is. You better put your mind to it."

Qin Sima replied casually, "I know, I know. Of course I know what's important."
