I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Cong Chongqiu listened to the empress's call and looked at Xiao Yunhao with a twitching mouth.

oops! !

The empress has taken a fancy to Prince Zhenbei.

What a beautiful thought.

The empress is indeed not bad looking, but she is still inferior to the princess.

I have to say, if the King of Zhenbei didn't always have a cold face, he would actually be quite popular with girls.

Xiao Yunhao sneered, rode his horse forward two steps, and shouted at the empress in a deep voice,

"I am here to take back the sword you stole that day!!"

"And your life!!"

"Sword!?" The empress frowned in confusion.

"I have never taken any sword from the Wu Ma family?"

"If you want the sword, just tell me directly. Why bother with such a big fuss?"

As for the words of the King of Zhenbei that he wanted her life, the empress simply pretended not to hear it.

Xiao Yunhao looked at the envoy beside the empress and sneered.

"Why, didn't your envoy tell you that I was the madman you locked up in the imperial prison that day?"

"The madman in the Imperial Prison!?" The empress's face turned pale when she thought of the crazy beggar in the Imperial Prison.

She rushed to the parapet, grabbed the wall with both hands, and stared at Xiao Yunhao carefully with squinted eyes.

"How can it be....."

The empress looked at Xiao Yunhao's cold eyes, and the eyes of the crazy beggar in the imperial prison flashed through her mind, and the two pairs of eyes slowly overlapped.

"It's you......"

The empress looked at Xiao Yunhao with a pale face. Thinking of the horrific scene in the imperial prison, her voice began to tremble.

That sword...is still hanging in her study.

The empress gritted her teeth and looked at the envoy trembling with anger.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?!"

Wrong, all wrong!!

If the envoy told her that the King of Zhenbei was a crazy beggar, how could she be so stupid as to threaten the King of Zhenbei with people from the Wu Ma family?

The crazy beggar and the Wu Ma family have a mortal feud.

"No, no, no... Your Majesty, the King of Zhenbei only said he wanted to take the sword, he didn't mention anything about the crazy beggar."

The envoy shrank his neck in fear, and was almost in tears.

He indeed forgot to pass on the words about taking the sword.

That was all Shi Jian's fault. He kept talking about the Wu Ma family and so on, causing him to panic and forget about this unimportant sentence.

As for the crazy beggar, King Zhenbei didn't say a word to him.

The envoy pursed his lips and looked at the furious empress.

"Your Majesty, it's just a matter of a sword. I thought it was the King of Zhenbei who said that, so..."

The empress glared at the envoy, raised her hand, drew the sword of the guard beside her, and chopped off the envoy's head with one blow.

"idiot!!"

If the envoy had not remembered all of his words, how could she have believed Shi Jian's words and thought that these enemy troops were from the Wu Ma family.

Now, by capturing the direct descendants of the Wu Ma family, not only did they fail to threaten the enemy, but they also offended the people of the Wu Ma family.

Now that the imperial city is in such a critical moment, the Wu Ma family has not sent out a single assassin. Who knows if they are not angry with her for touching these brats.

You are a useless person who is always causing trouble but can't do anything good. Even if you bring back a message, it's not even complete.

The envoy's head rolled down from the city gate tower, and on his bloody head, a pair of eyes were wide open.

Shi Jian looked at the head rolling in front of him, his mind went blank.

He looked at the bloody sword in the empress's hand in horror, with a confused look on his face.

"Who is the crazy beggar?"

He had never heard of any crazy beggars in the Imperial City when he was in Huanlian City.

How could a crazy beggar become the King of Zhenbei?

“Isn’t the King of Zhenbei a direct descendant of the Wuma family?”

Shi Jian's gaze stayed on the empress's face, his mind in a mess.

The empress looked at Shi Jian coldly, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

"You...it's you who harmed the Xiliang Kingdom and lied about military intelligence. You deserve to die!"

The empress took a step forward, raised the sword in her hand and stabbed towards Shi Jian's chest.

Shi Jian paused for a moment and dodged reflexively.

The empress sneered, looking at Shi Jian as if he were a dead man, and threw the sword to the secret guard.

"kill him!"

If she can't survive, these idiots won't be able to survive either. They will all be buried with her.

"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Shi Jian looked at the empress in panic.

"I can lead the troops out of the city to fight. Your Majesty, please give me a chance to perform?"

The empress looked at Shi Jian coldly, then turned to look at Xiao Yunhao who was riding on horseback with an arrogant look, "Accurate!!"

"Send Shi Jian out of the city to fight!"

She had not forgotten how she had treated the crazy beggar.

It is impossible to negotiate peace.

She knew that the Prince of Zhenbei came to avenge the humiliation he suffered in the imperial prison that day.

When he said he wanted her life, he was not just saying it casually.

The empress clasped her hands together tremblingly behind her back and took a deep breath to hide her inner nervousness.

She regretted not killing the crazy beggar with one sword when she caught him.

I also regretted not treating the crazy beggar well.

Both of these actions could have avoided the abdication war that is happening today.

But she became greedy and wanted to tame the crazy beggar.

Now, not only has the attempt to tame it failed, but there is also an invincible enemy.

She knew better than anyone how destructive a crazy beggar could be.

Otherwise, she would not have risked such a great risk to tame the crazy beggar.

It’s a pity that one wrong step led to another, which led to the irreversible situation today.

The empress closed her eyes with a dead heart, and when she opened them again and looked at Xiao Yunhao, there was a dead look in her eyes.

With a "squeak".

The heavy gates of the imperial city opened, and Shi Jian rushed out with a group of soldiers, holding a spear.

"King Zhenbei, prepare to die!!!"

Shi Jian led his soldiers with a fearless attitude and rushed to a place 20 meters away from the King of Zhenbei and stopped.

"One on one, do you dare?!"

"This general has won, you retreat!!"

Shi Jian raised his spear and pointed it at Xiao Yunhao. The spear in his hand trembled slightly twice.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to escape by going down the city gate tower, but the secret guards stared at him and did not give him any chance to escape.

He was allowed to go out and fight, and was given two thousand soldiers.

Isn't this just sending him out to die?

"I'll fight you!" Cong Chongqiu stepped forward and looked at Shi Jian coldly, "You are not worthy of fighting the King of Zhenbei."

Shi Jian's face turned pale, he glared at Cong Chongqiu, then looked at Xiao Yunhao.

"Why, King Zhenbei is afraid and doesn't dare to fight this general alone?"

There was no way he could beat that old man Cong Chongqiu.

The King of Zhenbei looks fair and handsome, so I guess his martial arts skills are not that good.

Besides, how powerful can a person who once fell to the point of being a beggar be?

He was a fool and fought with Cong Chongqiu.

Of course, pick the persimmons that are soft to pinch.

Cong Chongqiu sneered, "Why, you don't dare to fight me?"

"What's your business!" Shi Jian rolled his eyes at Cong Chongqiu, "You traitor, I don't want to fight you in single combat."

"King Zhenbei, do you dare to challenge me in a one-on-one duel?!"

Shi Jian stared at Xiao Yunhao.
