After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Wu Jin stayed behind to clean up the mess, while Jiang Xue Ning took his men back to Chu City.

Xiao Beirao's head was placed in a wooden box, held in Wu Sa's hand.

When she left, everyone present looked at her with awe.

The Zhou family's patriarch, who was always the most violent and tough, covered his arm that was accidentally injured and said, "Is she a devil? She kills people without blinking an eye and blood flows like a river."

Ning Yuan held a big knife in his hand and said with admiration, "She dared to kill Xiao Beirao. With such courage and ruthlessness, she must have a place in this world."

The news that she had killed Xiao Beirao in Xiangcheng spread quickly as if it had wings.

All the forces that received the news had to re-examine the young queen carefully.

Jiang Xue Ning sat in the carriage on the way back, showing a little fatigue, "Keep a close eye on the battlefield. This time we must keep these 100,000 troops in Xiangchu."

"I want everyone to know that Xiangchu is not easy to bully."

Xiangchu herself is not weak, but the person in power is a woman like her. People, especially various forces, always have prejudices against women, thinking that they are weak and can be bullied.

She wanted to use this battle to let everyone know that if they dared to fight Xiangchu, they would have to pay a bloody price and be prepared for total annihilation.

Jiang Li said softly, "Don't worry, everyone will work together to fight with bloodiness and deterrence."

There are still disputes within Xiangchu, but everyone's attitude towards this battle is surprisingly consistent.

In troubled times, only those who are ruthless and strong enough to make others fear them can gain a foothold.

If they lose this battle, then all forces will immediately pounce on them like leeches and devour them.

So when Jiang Xue Ning proposed to fight and started to make plans, everyone inside cooperated quite well.

Jiang Xue Ning was very satisfied with this. "Be clear about the big things, and take your time with the rest."

The internal situation of Xiangchu is complicated. She is new to the position, so it is normal to have conflicts. As long as she doesn't hold back on major issues, it will be fine.

When I returned to Chu City, the night market was bustling. The war outside had no impact on this place at all.

Inside the mansion, Qinghe Caiyue prepared hot meals to welcome them.

Jiang Xue Ning didn't have time to eat and went straight back to the study to discuss matters.

She pointed at the wooden box dripping with blood and said to Bai Yu, "Send someone to deliver the head to Xiao Linfeng as fast as possible."

Bai Yu took the box with disdain and left.

Jiang Li looked at the map and said, "Once the news of Xiao Beirao's death spreads, the imperial army will surely be in chaos."

The people in the study room stared at the map with fiery eyes. Someone suggested, "Why not seize the opportunity to win and capture a few more cities to expand our territory?"

There is a cautious objection, "Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew."

The two sides started arguing, and Jiang Xue Ning said with a headache, "Okay, stop arguing."

"The most important thing now is not to fight for territory, but to defeat them and then march to the northwest to support the Wolf Fang Army. If the border is breached and the Turks invade, it will be the end."

As soon as she spoke, everyone fell silent. No one dared to question her decision, after all, she had just proved her ability with facts.

Outside Xiangcheng, the two armies were fighting fiercely. Suddenly, flames shot up from the city gate and a white flag was raised.

Xiao Beirao's headless body was hung on the city gate.

"Xiao Beirao has been beheaded. Xiao Beirao has been beheaded... Hurry up and put down your weapons and surrender!"

Several people shouted in unison, their voices echoing throughout the night sky.

When the 100,000-strong army of Xiling saw their general being beheaded, their morale was greatly disrupted.

The deputy general shouted, "Kill them and break in to avenge the general!"

He tried to use hatred to inspire everyone's fighting spirit, hoping that the army of the underdog would win.

Unfortunately, Duan Xilou and Zuo Musheng were not pushovers, and the two of them teamed up to quickly defeat the opposing team.

After fighting for a whole night, everyone was bloodthirsty and the Xiling army was defeated.

The deputy general fled in panic with the remaining 30,000 people, and Zuo Musheng and his men chased after them.

Duan Xilou did not follow because there were Phoenix Army waiting ahead and they could not escape.

Duan Xilou rode on his horse, looking at the rising sun, and felt like he had completely come alive again.

The former Jade-faced General finally returned to the field he was most familiar with.

Just like he had done countless times before, he raised the silver spear in his hand and said, "We won!"

"we won!"

"Won!"

The soldiers also raised their arms and shouted, celebrating this resounding victory!

So, along with the cheers, the news that Xiangchu won quickly spread around.

It was already afternoon when Jiang Xue Ning received the message.

Du Yishui was so excited, "It's a pity that I didn't go and kill the enemy myself!"

Jiang Xue Ning faced the scorching sun and finally smiled, "This is the real beginning."

He also ordered in the afternoon, "I want to reward the three armies and celebrate this victory together."

"Yes."

Jiang Xue Ning felt relieved, and then she felt hungry, so she said to Qing He, "Set the table."

Some were happy while others were worried. At least the major families and those with ill intentions within the family were not happy about this victory.

Lu Zhen sighed and said, "After this battle, she will surely become famous and will convince everyone."

"Most importantly, she obviously wants to suppress the aristocratic families,"

Ning Yuan lowered his head and said nothing, with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes. They were so stupid that they still couldn't see the situation clearly even at this point.

In fact, it’s not that they can’t see clearly, but that they were used to being rampant in the past and swallowed too many benefits. Their appetites have long been enlarged, and now they are naturally reluctant to spit out the benefits they have swallowed.

Lu Zhen said without giving up, "Find a way to find out where Lu Chengyuan has gone. Is he going to watch the Lu family being suppressed?"

"Humph, you still have illusions about him even now." Madam Lu sneered, "If he hadn't been suppressing the Lu family all these years, the Lu family would have been in power long ago. He is simply an ungrateful person."

Lu Zhen said with a headache, "After this battle, her prestige has reached its peak. What she is most afraid of is that some noble family will kneel first."

This kind of thing, once there is the first one, there will be a second one, and slowly everyone's mentality will be affected.

Young Master Lu pointed his finger at Ning Yuan in dissatisfaction, "What's the meaning of that half-smile on your face?"

"I was born like this." Ning Yuan said seriously, "After last night and today, no one should really think that they can challenge the King of Xiang. She dares to kill Xiao Wuruo, so what can others do?"

This is harsh to hear, but it is impossible to refute.

Lu Zhen asked tentatively, "You hold Cangnan in your hands. What do you think of what I told you last time?"

What he meant was to support him in developing Cangnan, and of course also use Cangnan to counter Jiang Xue Ning.

"I would like to have some ideas, but unfortunately Cangnan does not have an army of 100,000 to fight against."

This was also an indirect statement, and disappointment flashed in Lu Zhen's eyes.

At this time, the three armies had returned to the city, and the people welcomed them with cheers and encouragement.

Jiang Xue Ning stood on the tower, looking at the army returning to the city with a fiery gaze. The wind blew up her red cape, and her graceful figure was like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly.
