The Beidi people were quickly defeated and abandoned their camps and fled.

In order to allow them to escape further, Chu Zhao sent troops to pursue them for a while.

Everyone was shouting and bluffing. The Beidi people were not sure how many troops they had, so they abandoned their helmets and armor and fled back to Dingguan City.

Dingguan City is the first city in Yanyunguan Pass. Because it is close to the pass and a large number of troops are stationed daily, it is called Dingguan City.

The original rebel general Li Tai opened Yanyunguan and withdrew the garrison in Dingguan City, which enabled the Beidi people to march straight in, attack the city and plunder the territory of Dayan, and massacre the people.

Therefore, if you want to drive the Beidi people out of Yanyunguan, you must take back Dingguan City.

If Dingguan City cannot be captured in one day, the Beidi people will not be able to drive them away in one day.

Although Chu Zhao wished he could take back Dingguan City now, he had to take into account the injuries and illnesses of the Jingnan Army and the physical fitness of the [-] battalion. He stopped the fighting as soon as he saw the situation was good, leaving some soldiers to clean the battlefield and clean up the lost Beidi people. He then returned to Huaizhou City with Murong Xiao.

When we returned to the city, it was already bright.

The people woke up from their trembling sleep, thinking that the city gate would be lost today and they would fall into the clutches of the Beidi people again.

Unexpectedly, when they woke up, the Beidi people not only did not attack, but were driven away by the reinforcements of the Jingnan Army and the Regent.

The people who heard the news were all excited and spontaneously ran outside the North City Gate to welcome the two princes in triumph.

"Thank you to the regent for coming down from the sky and driving away the enemy for us."

"Thank you to King Jingnan for bravely killing the enemy so that we can spend the New Year in peace and contentment."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank the court for not giving up on us and sending reinforcements in time."

"With these two princes here, the Beidi people will definitely be beaten back to their hometown."

"Please ask the two princes to destroy Beidi, so that we don't have to be trampled by them anymore."

Inside and outside the city gate, there were cheers, thanks, and cries.

Information at the border was blocked, and most people did not know that the regent was a woman. After thanking the regent for a long time, they did not see the shadow of the regent. Instead, they saw a female general riding a horse and coming side by side with King Jingnan, which was very strange.

"Look, the person walking with the prince is a female general."

"Who is this female general? Why haven't I heard that there are female generals in the Jingnan Army before?"

"What a female general, she is the newly appointed regent of the imperial court."

"What, the regent is actually a woman, how did you know?"

"I have a relative in the military. Not only do I know that she is a woman, I also know that she is the princess of King Jingnan!"

"Oh my God, no way. Could it be that she is the legendary all-powerful Princess Jingnan?"

"Yes, that's her. Princess Jingnan and the regent are both her."

When the news spread, the people were even more shocked than before. They all stretched their necks and stood on tiptoe to watch Chu Zhao.

"As expected of Princess Jingnan, she is indeed heroic and beautiful. She is no ordinary woman at first glance."

"That's natural. She is a deity who descended to earth. How can she be compared to an ordinary woman?"

"Yes, he is not only a god, but also a miraculous doctor who can resurrect human flesh and bones."

"She's so good-looking and has such good medical skills. I didn't expect her to be so good at fighting. It seems like a deity came down to earth to save the common people."

"Isn't it? Princess Jingnan is so perfect. She and Prince Jingnan are so talented and beautiful, they are a perfect match."

"No, what's that look in your eyes?" Someone pointed at the unshaven and haggard Murong Xiao who was walking beside Chu Zhao and said, "Tell me, where did you see that the princess is ten thousand times more beautiful than the prince? , to say that they are a good match, those next to her are better than the prince."

"..."

Murong Xiao was riding on horseback and accidentally heard these remarks, and his already dark face turned even darker.

Although he pretended to be nonchalant, his eyes were secretly looking at Xu Hui, A'ao, Xie Chengfeng, Zhang Xingzhou, and Tie Zhui who were walking beside Chu Zhao...

Uh... forget about the hammer.

How is he worse than the remaining ones?

Isn't A'ao just a few years younger than him and a little more energetic than him?

Isn't Zhang Xingzhou just bigger and wilder than him? Now that he's been poisoned, he's not much stronger, right?

Although Xie Chengfeng does have a clear breeze and bright moonlight, and has an immortal demeanor, he is a monk, so what's the use of being good-looking?

There is also the sect leader who appears out of nowhere. He is whiter and cleaner. I think he was just as fair and handsome when he was pampered in the palace.

In short, no one is much better than him.

At least he is still a prince.

Although they have different surnames.

By the way, a king with a different surname and a regent should have the same status, right?

If Azhao becomes the regent, will he look down on him?

Murong Xiao was secretly feeling depressed when he suddenly heard the man from before say loudly: "What do you know? A man doesn't care about his face. It depends on his ability. King Jingnan was originally guarding the southern border. In order to help us fight Beidi, he risked his life." He traveled thousands of miles in the severe cold, and he is in such a miserable state now because he worked day and night to defend the city. The princess has not disliked him, so what right do you have to dislike him?"

"..." The other person was speechless after being retorted, and apologized repeatedly with a red face, "It's me who is superficial, it's me who is superficial..."

Murong Xiao became proud again after hearing this, and looked at Chu Zhao with his lips pressed down.

Outsiders can see that Chu Zhao doesn't dislike him anymore, so that means he really doesn't dislike him, right?

"Azhao, did you hear that people say that we are a perfect match?" He leaned towards Chu Zhao and whispered.

Chu Zhao: "...How long has it been? Your Majesty still has time to care about this. You should still care about your arm. If you are injured and still running around, be careful of becoming disabled."

Murong Xiao was scolded, but he grinned: "I know that you feel sorry for me, right?"

Chu Zhao: "..."

Right shit!

She was just reminding him from the perspective of a doctor, but why did she feel distressed.

To say she felt distressed, Zhang Xingzhou made her feel more distressed.

Just now at the camp, she had roughly diagnosed Zhang Xingzhou's condition, and discovered that Zhang Xingzhou's poison was actually a chronic strange poison that had been lost for a long time in the Western Regions.

After being poisoned by this kind of poison, people will not die quickly, but the body will be slowly corroded and become weaker day by day. It is like being sick, but the specific cause cannot be found, and you can only let your life slowly fade away in suffering. Lose until you die.

Speaking of which, this poison is somewhat similar to the poison she used on the Queen Mother, but her magnet only makes people weak and will not kill them.

After all, she didn't really want the Queen Mother's life at that time, and during those days when she lived in the palace, she had quietly detoxified the Queen Mother, but she didn't tell anyone and no one found out.

It is a pity that the Queen Mother was suddenly pierced by a sharp arrow and died.

At that time, she couldn't figure out who the murderer was, because she never expected that person to be Feng Guanlan, who was pretending to be Xu Hui.

Therefore, Feng Guanlan is really a terrible opponent.

Thinking of Feng Guanlan, Chu Zhao's thoughts drifted away unconsciously. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded around him and exclaimed: "Your Majesty!"
