A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

"Your Majesty, be careful!" someone shouted from the crowd.

Xiao Rui dodged the arrow by leaning sideways.

Xia Lu yelled, "Who released it? Stand up!"

Xie Lin, who had just shot an arrow, turned to look at Zhao Yunshan when he heard Xia Lu say this.

Zhao Yunshan simply stopped pretending. He knew in his heart that even if he covered it up tonight, Xiao Rui would still have other ways to hold him accountable tomorrow.

"My people released it, so what?" Zhao Yunshan said straight to the point.

Wang Chengyang pointed at Zhao Yunshan and said, "How dare you! You actually openly attempted to assassinate the emperor! This is truly a heinous crime!"

Zhao Yunshan said coldly, "I am doing the work, it is not your turn to speak!"

After hearing this, Wang Chengyang was so angry that he was about to swing his sword at him, but was stopped by Xiao Rui.

"Wait a minute, this precious sword of mine hasn't been unsheathed for a long time." Xiao Rui stood out from the crowd and said.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunshan sneered and dismounted from his horse.

"Your Majesty, you have reached your current position because of me watching you step by step. When you were still a prince, you were already a first-rate swordsman. I haven't seen this for a long time. Why not have a fight with your Majesty today!"

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Okay, General, you are invincible and your armor is great. I also want to test your skills."

After hearing this, Xia Lu exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this is not possible..."

Zhao Yunshan no longer called himself a subject, but said directly, "Then I will let the emperor see today that the old ones are still the wisest!"

Xiao Rui: "Take action!"

The others retreated far away, and the two men began to fight. Xia Lu was sweating in his hands. His responsibility was to protect the emperor. He knew that with the emperor's skills, he could fight against the general.

But whether both sides will be injured or not is uncertain! If the emperor is injured, he will definitely be punished by the queen mother...

Zhao Yunshan said that he wanted to spar with Xiao Rui, but he kept pressing on, trying to kill Xiao Rui. In this way, even if Xiao Rui died, it would be attributed to his failure due to his inferior skills.

"Zhao Yunshan, what are you doing!" Wang Chengyang realized something was wrong and shouted at Zhao Yunshan.

Zhao Yunshan ignored it and continued to attack Xiao Rui, who was on the defensive the whole time.

With a fierce sword, Zhao Yunshan almost stabbed Xiao Rui's throat, and many people closed their eyes in fear!

As expected, Xiao Rui still dodged it easily. While defending, Xiao Rui said calmly, "Aren't we just sparring with each other? Why did the general kill him?"

Zhao Yunshan looked at Xiao Rui and said, "Your Majesty must have misunderstood me. I have no intention of killing you. Watch out!"

Zhao Yunshan pressed forward step by step to the vital point, and Xiao Rui could no longer tolerate it.

Change from defense to offense.

After a few rounds, Zhao Yunshan was obviously overwhelmed. He used up all his strength and moves in the early stages, and was obviously unable to cope in the later stages.

Several times, I almost lost.

"General, why don't you attack? Why are you only able to defend?" Xiao Rui's words provoked him to take action.

"General, are you no longer capable? Then admit defeat as soon as possible. The waves behind will push the waves ahead!"

Zhao Yunshan gnashed his teeth in anger and raised his sword to attack, but was stabbed in the neck by Xiao Rui's sword. He immediately felt a chill on his neck, as if it was bleeding...

However, Xiao Rui's stab was not deep, and he still had a lot to ask, so he would not end his life so easily.

Zhao Yunshan reached out to touch it, but saw bright red blood on his hand, and the sword in his other hand fell to the ground.

"You lose." Xiao Rui said condescendingly.

Zhao Yunshan covered his neck and roared, "I didn't do that. I don't accept it! Fight again!"

"I have fought for decades and fought to the death to defend Daqing. How could I possibly lose to you?"

As he spoke, Zhao Yunshan picked up the sword on the ground and continued to fight with Xiao Rui.

But he was injured after all, and blood was dripping down from his neck. His deputy general Xie Ling couldn't help but grimace when he saw it.

Xiao Rui fought more and more bravely, and soon inflicted wounds of varying sizes on Zhao Yunshan's body. None of them were fatal, but they made Zhao Yunshan feel extremely humiliated.

"Xiao Rui, if you want to kill, you have to do it quickly!" Zhao Yunshan said in despair.

Zhao Yunshan collapsed on the ground until he had exhausted all his strength. After all, he was old and could not compare to Xiao Rui, who was in his prime. If he were still young, he might not lose to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui didn't say he wanted to kill him.

"Confiscate the general's tiger talisman and take him away for questioning."

"The rest, including Xie Ling and his lieutenants, will be strangled on the spot."

After dealing with those, Xiao Rui asked again, "Who was the one who shouted in the crowd, 'Your Majesty, be careful?'"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing who it was until Qin An stood up.

"Your Majesty, it's me!" Qin An said courageously.

Wang Chengyang also looked at Qin An in disbelief. Qin An had just been transferred to the Imperial Guard not long ago, but he didn't expect him to be so courageous.

Xiao Rui looked at Qin An with satisfaction and said, "Very good, majestic and handsome, a man with great potential."

Qin An scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. It's all thanks to Lord Wang. When Lord Wang was fighting with Zhao Yunshan just now, that deputy general Xie Lin was always interfering. That's why I was more careful and carefully monitored Xie Lin's every move!"

Wang Chengyang looked at Qin An with satisfaction. He didn't expect that Qin An would still remember to say a few good words for him. It was worth his painstaking efforts in teaching him these days.

"No, Your Majesty, it is Qin An who has insight and courage!" Wang Chengyang said proudly.

Xiao Rui looked at the two of them with a smile, "It's easy to dodge an open attack, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. You both deserve credit! You two should be promoted!

"Also, all the soldiers today should go and collect their rewards and food!"

The soldiers cheered happily, "Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, Xiao Rui interrogated Zhao Yunshan and Prince Anling. After severe torture, the two confessed truthfully that they had had evil intentions since the emperor ascended the throne, and they also revealed his cronies in the court.

As for the strategist behind Zhao Yunshan, he was also the eldest prince's most trusted subordinate. After the eldest prince was defeated and Xiao Rui ascended the throne, he joined Zhao Yunshan's army. Over the years, he has been constantly giving advice to Zhao Yunshan.

Zhao Yunshan, Prince Anling and his advisers were all executed after their property was confiscated, and their followers were either exiled or dismissed from their posts. Finally, the court was cleared up.

"Report! General Gu is back! Bianbei won a great victory!"

Xiao Rui was overjoyed, "Quick, quick, tell Gu Zishan to come into the palace!"

Gu Zishan hurried on his way and came back covered in dust. When he saw Xiao Rui, he couldn't help but smile. They were best friends in childhood. When they grew up, he fought in the battlefields outside while Xiao Rui guarded the capital.

"Your Majesty, it's all thanks to you for that letter. Otherwise, I... no, otherwise, I would have really fallen into the trap of the grandson of Prince Anling!"

Gu Zi walked along the mountain and talked...
