The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

A warm feeling surged in Zhao Xuan's heart, and he wanted to express his gratitude to Duan Tianyang by bowing, but he suddenly felt unbearable pain in his left arm and realized that his left arm was broken.

He then knelt on one knee and said solemnly to Duan Tianyang: "Solely because of your trust, Zhao Xuan is willing to entrust his life to you from now on. From now on, I will follow your lead!"

Duan Tianyang subdued Zhao Xuan, and Zhao Xuan resolutely cut off one of his arms to show his determination.

Since then, Duan Tianyang has welcomed a legendary corps commander under his command, that is the one-armed commander Zhao Xuan who was praised by later generations.

When Zhao Xuan surrendered to Duan Tianyang, he was already over 40 years old, and was considered the oldest among Duan Tianyang's many subordinates.

However, his military exploits were in no way inferior to those of his younger juniors. He later followed Duan Tianyang in battles across the country and made great achievements.

The next morning, Duan Tianyang specially ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and he and Zhao Xuan sat side by side to go to the rebel camp together.

In order to demonstrate his complete trust in Zhao Xuan, Duan Tianyang did not bring any soldiers with him, and even the coachman was just an ordinary citizen in Qilin City.

Duan Tianyang has always adhered to the principle of trusting people when employing them and not employing people if you don't trust them. He does not just talk about it, but actually puts it into practice.

Zhao Xuanjun watched his every move and felt deeply touched.

Although Zhou Baiyuan is much older than Duan Tianyang, he cannot be compared with Duan Tianyang in terms of vision and courage.

Being able to assist such a broad-minded and courageous monarch is undoubtedly a great blessing in life.

This time, Duan Tianyang chose to go to the rebel base alone with Zhao Xuan. He had two intentions.

One was to further strengthen the relationship with Zhao Xuan and deepen mutual trust; the other was to test Zhao Xuan.

If Zhao Xuan's surrender was just false, then he would definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and would most likely attack him.

If he didn't test whether Zhao Xuan was truly willing to surrender, it would be like planting a time bomb next to him.

The two men arrived at the gate of the rebel camp in a carriage. As soon as they arrived, they saw twenty or thirty soldiers rushing out quickly and surrounding the carriage.

The leading captain shouted sternly, "Who is in the car? Show up immediately!"

The coachman was so frightened that his face turned pale, he was sweating profusely and was silent.

Then, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Zhao Xuan's figure was the first to appear.

When the rebel soldiers saw who was inside the car, they were surprised at first, then delighted and happy, and they all exclaimed: "General? You're back!"

Zhao Xuan nodded slightly and ordered decisively: "Everyone get out of the way!"

When the rebels learned that the person coming was Zhao Xuan, their faces were filled with excitement and they all made way.

The coachman breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this and quickly drove the carriage into the rebel camp.

At this time, Zhao Xuan's generals gathered in the central military tent, sighing to each other frequently, with worried looks on their faces.

The commander fell into the hands of the monk army and his life or death was uncertain. Everyone felt confused and helpless and found it difficult to make a decision whether to fight or retreat.

Just as everyone was racking their brains and at a loss as to what to do, a soldier suddenly rushed in from outside the tent. He ran over in a panic and shouted in a trembling voice: "Commendations, General Zhao... General Zhao is back! General Zhao has returned safely!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the central military tent. All the generals were stunned, wondering if they had heard it wrong, and they all stood up at the same time.

The general could actually come back? This is simply unbelievable!

When everyone was in doubt and about to rush out, they saw two people walking in from outside the central military tent.

The two people who walked in were Duan Tianyang and Zhao Xuan. Everyone's eyes did not stay on Duan Tianyang, but were all focused on Zhao Xuan.

When they confirmed that the person in front of them was Zhao Xuan, they were all surprised and happy. They stepped forward quickly and shouted in unison: "General!"

However, what followed was the shock in everyone's eyes, because they noticed that Zhao Xuan's left sleeve was empty.

They couldn't help but exclaimed: "General, you...your arm...what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Xuan replied calmly: "I cut it off with my own hands."

When these words were spoken, everyone took a deep breath, their hearts filled with confusion and doubt.

Zhao Xuan smiled bitterly and explained, "This is my own self-punishment for my blindness. Zhou Baiyuan had long been secretly colluding with the Kingdom of Jin, intending to help the Kingdom of Jin annex our Divine Realm. And we, the people of Jin, actually aided and abetted the tyrant and helped him disrupt the West Gate. This is truly an unforgivable crime. Shouldn't I punish myself?"

After that, he turned to look at Duan Tianyang and said respectfully: "Sir, please take a seat!"

Zhou Baiyuan actually colluded with the Kingdom of Jin? Upon hearing this news, the rebel generals were caught off guard for a moment. After being stunned for a moment, they turned their attention to Duan Tianyang standing aside and asked with confusion on their faces: "General, who is this...?"

Before Zhao Xuan could introduce himself, Duan Tianyang smiled at everyone and introduced himself calmly: "I am Duan Tianyang."

Although it was just a simple sentence, it caused an uproar among the crowd.

Their faces turned pale in an instant, and their original confusion and curiosity were quickly replaced by anger.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of swords being unsheathed in the central military tent, and the swords of the generals appeared one after another, their eyes filled with hatred and hostility towards Duan Tianyang.

Recalling the battle of Qilin City, our side had already gained an absolute advantage and victory was within reach.

However, at the most critical moment, Duan Tianyang led the monk army to suddenly attack from behind, making their originally stable victory vanish in an instant.

"You are such a good guy, Duan Tianyang. There is a road to heaven but you don't take it. There is no door to hell but you come here on your own! I will chop you into meat sauce today!" As soon as the words fell, a burly man, holding a big knife in his hand, strode towards Duan Tianyang.

This big man was none other than Wen Xiong, the vanguard general under Zhao Xuan. Seeing Wen Xiong approaching him aggressively, Duan Tianyang showed no fear and stood there leisurely with his hands behind his back.

He didn't even glance at Wen Xiong. His eyes were always focused on Zhao Xuan, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Duan Tianyang did not make the hasty decision to march alone into this place on a whim.

Since he chose to take the risk, he was naturally well prepared. Even if facing numerous enemies, he was confident that he had the ability to escape.

Wen Xiong approached Duan Tianyang, holding the big knife high in his hand, ready to chop down at any time.

This action immediately made Zhao Xuan's face gloomy. He shouted sternly: "How dare you! Stop being rude and leave immediately!"

"General..." Wen Xiong was about to say something, but Zhao Xuan immediately frowned, glared at him, and interrupted: "I told you to retreat!"

Although Wen Xiong has an unruly character, he is extremely respectful to Zhao Xuan.

He glared at Duan Tianyang fiercely, then reluctantly put down the sword in his hand and stepped aside.
