Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan stood up and stood by the window, looking at the constantly changing lanterns outside, her eyes revealing a rare joy.

Duke Liu brought a plate of plum blossom cakes and said to Nannan, "Nannan, eat some cakes. Don't starve."

Liu Yanyan picked up a piece of cake with her delicate hands, took a bite, and then spat it out, looking at the cake with disdain and saying, "It tastes terrible."

Duke Liu tapped her forehead and said lovingly, "Okay, let's go back home and have something delicious."

Just as I was about to go out, several men in black rushed in and started slashing with knives.

Several guards stood in front of them. Duke Liu stood in front of Nannan and said, "Who are you? How dare you assassinate me? As a duke, do you eat vegetarian food?"

Several men in black were stunned, looked at Duke Liu's clothes carefully and said, "You dog emperor, we're going to chop you off, and chop you to death." After that, they started to wrestle with the guards.

Duke Liu was in a panic. He took out a soft sword from his waist, stood in front of Nannan, and stared at her closely, fearing that they would rush over.

Several guards were fighting with them, and Duke Liu frowned. Then he heard Liu Yanyan screaming, "Someone come! There's an assassin!"

There was a panic when the voice was heard outside, and the crowd scattered. When Emperor Hongda heard the voice, he knew it was directed at him. This Duke Liu was probably trying to ward off disaster for him.

Li Chuanyu and the guards beside him surrounded Emperor Hongda and kept retreating to a safe place far away. Emperor Hongda spoke and said to General Meng who came over, "Send a few people to rescue them and don't let Duke Liu get into trouble."

General Meng next to him saluted with his fists, then rushed over with a few yamen runners.

General Meng pushed open the door of the private room and saw several guards fighting with the men in black. Their bodies were covered in blood, and even his brother Lao Liu had blood on his hands. He was so angry that his eyes widened. He rushed in with a knife and slashed at the leading man in black.

With a flying kick, he kicked away the man in black in front of Lao Liu, cursing inwardly, "Really? I told you to learn, but you didn't. Now something bad has happened."

Several other men in black were also chopped down by several yamen runners, tied up tightly, and thrown on the ground nearby.

Duke Liu covered his wound, turned his head and looked at Nannan and said, "Don't be afraid, Daddy doesn't feel any pain, it's okay, your uncle Meng is here."

Liu Yanyan concealed her fear, pretended to be calm, bowed and thanked, "Thank you, Uncle Meng, for saving us."

General Meng waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay." He turned around and looked at Old Liu and said, "Your Majesty is still outside. I'm going to do some business first. You go to the clinic and get bandaged."

After saying this, he took a few yamen runners and dragged the man in black towards the sky prison.

Duke Liu looked at the injured guards and said, "You guys hold them up, we'll go bandage them first, they're seriously injured!"

Yuzhu and Butler Liu supported the seriously injured guard and walked downstairs. The slightly injured followed limpingly. Liu Yanyan supported her father and walked downstairs.

They didn't meet many people along the way, so they drove to the best clinic in East City, where the doctor gave them emergency bandages.

Duke Liu watched as some of their men treated the wounds of the seriously injured before he let the old doctor next to him treat him!

Liu Yanyan covered her lips with a handkerchief, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at the bloody wound under the cut sleeve, feeling distressed. She cried, "Daddy, don't move. The doctor is treating the wound."

Duke Liu gasped in pain and said with difficulty, "It's okay, Daddy doesn't feel any pain, Daddy is fine, don't cry."

The old doctor looked at Duke Liu's wound with a serious face and said helplessly, "The wound is too big and too deep. I have to use a red-hot iron to close it."

Duke Liu nodded helplessly, "Okay." He turned to Nannan and said, "Nannan, go out the door first and wait for Daddy."

Liu Yanyan looked at the cold sweat on her father's forehead and knew that her father didn't want her to see him looking so embarrassed and helpless. She nodded and said, "Okay, Daddy, Nannan will be waiting for you at the door." After that, she walked out of the house and closed the door.

Liu Yanyan leaned against the door, clutching her handkerchief, listening to the screams from inside, feeling heartbroken. If it weren't for her father protecting her, she wouldn't have gotten hurt.

The screams from inside were getting louder and louder. Yanyan's heart felt like it was being torn apart. She couldn't breathe due to the pain. When the screams stopped, Liu Yanyan was so scared that she pushed open the door immediately. At first glance, she found that Dad had fainted from the pain. His body was wrapped in gauze and his forehead was covered in sweat.

She fell down beside her father, tears streaming down her face. She felt her father's breath with a trembling voice and finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a long while, she took out a silver note of 100 taels from her bosom, handed it to the doctor and said, "Doctor, I will take my father and a few guards back to the Duke's Mansion. Please come to your house tomorrow to see the doctor."

The old doctor looked at them worriedly, took the banknote and said, "Okay, be careful when you carry them."

Butler Liu wiped the sweat off his forehead and reported, "Miss, I sent someone to the mansion to call the servants and guards over. The carriage is also here."

Liu Yanyan said, “Okay, Butler Liu is really thoughtful.” Then she ordered people to carry her father onto the carriage.

Butler Liu asked the servant to get the guards onto the carriage at the back.

Return to the Duke's Mansion

After settling her father, Liu Yanyan finally remembered to ask, "Have you arranged for the other guards?"

Butler Liu lowered his head and said softly, "Miss, everything has been arranged."

Liu Yanyan took out 600 taels of silver notes from her jewelry box and said, "For the seriously injured guards, each will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver, and for the slightly injured, each will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. Let them recover well. The mansion will not treat them unfairly and provide them with good medicine."

Butler Liu smiled and said, "Miss, you are so considerate of me."

Liu Yanyan once again took out a hundred taels of silver note, handed it to Butler Liu and said, "This is from Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu was frightened, but he still arranged it so well. That's great."

The smile on Butler Liu's face became more sincere. He took the banknote and said with a smile, "This is what I should do. I will take good care of the Duke and the guards."

Back to Cuizhuxuan

Liu Yanyan took off her clothes and the hairpin on her head, took out a silver note and handed it to Yuzhu, saying, "Keep it for yourself. You should also keep some private money."

Yuzhu happily took the banknote, knelt down and thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Miss, for the reward."

Liu Yanyan waved her hand, and with Yuzhu's help, she washed her hands and face. After washing up, she said, "You tried hard to protect me today, this is what you deserve." She was obviously trembling with fear, but she kept standing in front of her and refused to move. She deserved a reward.

Yuzhen looked envious, warmed up the bed, and said, "Miss, the bed is warm."

With the help of the two, Liu Yanyan lay on the bed and covered herself with a quilt. However, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Her hands kept tightly grasping the corners of the quilt, her eyes full of panic.

Yuzhu and Yuzhen let down the bed curtains, blew out the candles, leaving only a dim light, and the room gradually became warmer.

Yuzhu, Yuzhen came outside the house, and Yuzhen asked curiously, "Sister Yuzhu, what happened today? Why did the young lady suddenly reward you with so much silver? 100 taels! It's enough to buy a small courtyard outside the city."

Yuzhu said with lingering fear, "Today I went to see the lantern boats. Everything was fine, but suddenly a few men in black came in, shouting and killing. I was so scared that I pulled my daughter back to hide. When I saw the men in black coming, I blocked them with a plate, but they chopped me with their swords. I was so scared that my soul almost flew away. My legs are still weak now."

Yuzhen was terrified when she heard this. The envy in her eyes turned into fear. "Fortunately, you and the young lady were not injured."

Yuzhu immediately covered Yuzhen's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Miss is upset. The Duke is injured, and several guards are also injured. Be careful these days."

Yuzhen nodded vigorously. After Yuzhu finished her instructions, she went back to the small room to rest, leaving Yuzhen on duty.
