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

Cao Yuan looked warily into the sky, preparing for battle, but she didn't see a single arrow come in.

Just as she and Fan Qingli were filled with doubt, Liu Changshi's anxious voice rang out, "What do you want to do! Kill them right now!"

At that moment, an extremely sharp arrow suddenly flew towards the top of the courtroom.

Immediately afterwards, a loud "thud" was heard, and the plaque that had been hanging above the government office fell down, and the four prominent characters "明镜高悬" (meaning "a clear mirror hangs high") were instantly smashed in two.

A dignified voice rang out from outside, "Soldiers, listen to my command! Follow me into the government office, capture the corrupt official, and restore peace to the people of Anzhou!"

Li Chengye and his men burst through the gate, leading a group of soldiers who stormed in from outside.

These soldiers, armed with weapons, looked menacing, as if they intended to flatten the entire government office.

"Li Chengye! This is treason! Do you even know whose family this Anzhou belongs to?!"

Qin Sima shouted at him, but Li Chengye was no longer afraid and fought with the people in the government office.

"Follow me and kill!"

"kill!"

Two different groups of soldiers started fighting.

While defending against the government soldiers, Cao Yuan also escorted Qin Sima's concubine.

"Lord Fan, let's escort them out first!"

"it is good!"

Before anyone knew it, Chu Yan also flew to Cao Yuan's side and fought alongside them.

"We can't stay here any longer. There are carriages outside; let's get them out of the city quickly!"

Cao Yuan nodded in agreement.

However, Chu Yan only dodged the attacks without retaliating.

As a result, the endless stream of soldiers seemed to be impossible to kill, which greatly annoyed Cao Yuan.

At this moment, a fearless soldier took advantage of Chu Yan's unpreparedness and prepared to launch a sneak attack from behind.

Fortunately, Cao Yuan reacted quickly, kicking up a weapon discarded by a soldier on the ground, which struck the soldier who was trying to ambush Chu Yan.

Upon hearing the sound, Chu Yan immediately turned to look at Cao Yuan, a look of surprise on his face. "How could you kill people? They were soldiers of the Great Wei!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuan was instantly enraged and couldn't help but curse, "I kindly saved you, and you dare to talk back to me? I might as well kill you! I will never save you again!"

The entire government office was in chaos, with shouts and fighting sounds rising and falling, making people turn their heads in disbelief.

Finally, the concubines ran out of the government office, where several carriages were parked.

"Is everyone here? If so, let them go up quickly!"

"Luckily, Chu Yan, you called your men in time, otherwise we would have been riddled with holes!"

"But do you know General Li of the garrison? Why are they so obedient to you?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get them in the car!" Chu Yan didn't have time to explain to him.

"Where should we send them?" Cao Yuan asked.

"Leave the city! We don't know how many of them are in Anzhou yet. Sending them out of the city is the safest option," Chu Yan said worriedly.

"Hey, wait!"

Cao Yuan looked at the arrow wound on Yue Cui's arm, tore a strip of cloth from her skirt, and wrapped it around Yue Cui's arm. "Let's leave it like this for now! We'll bandage it when we get there."

“Your Highness, let me escort them!” Fan Qingli stepped forward to take the horse.

"it is good!"

Yuecui and the others looked at each other, their eyes flashing with determination and resolve. They seemed to be exchanging some kind of tacit understanding, yet it was difficult to express it in words.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Cao Yuan urged anxiously. Her eyes swept around, her heart filled with worry and unease.

Yuecui suddenly spoke up, "Your Highness, let's not go!"

This statement startled Cao Yuan, who looked at them in bewilderment.

"We're here to see what happens to these old things."

The other women echoed this sentiment, indicating their reluctance to leave.

Cao Yuan frowned, trying to persuade them, "What you're doing is too risky."

Yue Cui explained, “Your Highness, esteemed officials, we do not wish to be a burden to you. Please do not worry about us. We have our own ways to protect ourselves, so please leave us alone.”

After saying that, Yue Cui led the other women around and walked away into the distance.

Cao Yuan watched their departing figures, her heart filled with doubt and helplessness, but she could only respect their wishes.

Chu Yan suggested, "Let's send someone to bring them back!"

"Never mind, they have their own ideas too."

Soon, Li Chengye captured all the soldiers in the government office.

Just then, a commotion arose, and Li Chengye ran out in a panic, his voice filled with anxiety, "It's terrible! Those three corrupt officials escaped in the chaos!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone's expression changed, and a hint of anger and disappointment flashed in their eyes.

"Damn it! They actually got away!" Fan Qingli cursed.

"Hmph, these guys are really cunning!" another person said through gritted teeth.

Cao Yuan, however, appeared much calmer. "The city gates are closed. We still have time to catch up!"

After saying that, they all ran towards the city gate.

Liu Changshi and his party of three stopped their carriage at the city gate, accompanied only by a few guards.

"This is a vehicle from the Governor's Mansion. Please let it pass immediately!"

The servants driving the carriage shouted to the soldiers guarding the carriage.

"Yes! Open the city gates!"

The guards opened the city gate.

The people in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, we moved so fast, by the time they realize we've left the city, we'll be long gone, having a good time somewhere," Qin Sima said smugly.

"It's a pity we couldn't kill them, otherwise the Second Prince could have easily gotten us another official position!"

The three of them said smugly.

"But don't you guys feel like this car isn't moving?"

The prefect noticed something was wrong.

He slowly pulled back the carriage curtain, and the sight before him made him gasp in shock.

The people outside had surrounded their carriages, and everyone's face was filled with anger and hatred.

Those with knives drew their knives, and those with sticks drew their sticks, seemingly ready to attack them at any moment.

"Get out of the car, you corrupt official!"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, their voice filled with anger and determination.

"You've harmed us for so many years, and now you want to run away? No way!"

"You killed my daughter, get out of the car!!"

"get off!"

The crowd shouted in unison, their voices thunderous.

Chief Secretary Liu poked his head out and said, "You bunch of unruly commoners want to rebel? Let me tell you, I am the Chief Secretary of the Anzhou Governor's Office, a relative of the emperor! Even if you have someone backing you up now, you can't do anything to us!"

"Those who know what's good for them, get out of the way. Otherwise, you won't get away with this!"

Seeing the people whispering among themselves and becoming hesitant, Chief Secretary Liu gave a signal to the guards, who then slashed down a person who had stepped forward.

The people screamed in fright and retreated.

"Don't be afraid, everyone!"

Those dozens of concubines came out.

"We absolutely cannot let them go tonight. Once they leave, they won't be coming back!"

“Those three corrupt officials have met their end!” Yue Cui said, pointing at Liu Changshi.

"These few guys can't beat us, so let's take their heads together!"

"kill!"

Encouraged by Yue Cui, the people mustered their courage and rushed forward.

Chaos reigned inside the city gate.
