Chapter 144

Gong Xiaohua's eyes were fierce, her whole body emitting cold air, holding a knife in her hands, with blood dripping from the tip of the knife to the ground.

The Xiyuan Army soon stepped into the hall, following behind Gong Xiaohua. Seeing the tragic scene in the hall, it was like entering an Asura field.

Especially for some of the soldiers who were from noble families, seeing the ministers who were related to them lying dead in pools of blood, grief and anger filled their minds, their eyes bloodshot as they looked at these rebels, wishing they could hack them all to death in chaos.

They followed Gong Xiaohua, stepping forward, their eyes fixed on the surrounding rebels with murderous intent.

The rebels looked at the Xiyuan Army in front of them. Perhaps it was because of the terrible aura of their opponents, or because they had just witnessed Gong Xiaohua's eruption of terrible power, they retreated one step for every step the Xiyuan Army advanced, until they retreated to the Third Prince's side.

When Gong Xiaohua and the others approached the Third Prince, they put away their murderous aura. Gong Xiaohua stepped forward and saluted the Third Prince, "We are late to rescue Your Highness, please forgive us."

Seeing the reinforcements arrive, the Third Prince felt greatly relieved in his heart:

"I did not misjudge you, you have made great achievements, what crime is there, rise quickly."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The Xiyuan Army protected the Third Prince, Crown Prince, and the fortunate ministers who survived behind them.

Gong Xiaohua came to Qin Chuyuan's side, her face ugly. If she had been a little later, his head would have fallen.

Qin Chuyuan, who was on the side, looked at Gong Xiaohua next to him, covered in blood all over her body and face, looking like a demon god in others' eyes.

But in his heart there was only heartache and more heartache. He wanted to wipe the blood off Gong Xiaohua's face regardless of everyone's sight, but was dodged by her. Qin Chuyuan had to give up and asked caringly, "Are you hurt?"

"No."

"Take care of yourself."

After leaving a sentence, Gong Xiaohua held a knife and stood in front of the Third Prince, confronting him with cold eyes.

A soldier who came in from outside the hall whispered something to the Third Prince's ear, and he looked at Gong Xiaohua,

"Today I have witnessed your abilities. My father the King only granted you the title of a small general of the Xiyuan Army. It’s really a waste of your talent. Why don’t you abandon the darkness and come to the light? When I ascend to the throne, I can make you the first female grand general in the history of the Dayi Dynasty, with the first rank title to be recorded forever in history. What do you think? "

Gong Xiaohua was unmoved, taunting him,

"Hearing about you before, I only felt that your character should be open-minded. But seeing you now, you are really pathetic and hateful."

With one sentence, the smile on the Third Prince's face stopped instantly, looking at Gong Xiaohua coldly. He hated others calling him pathetic the most:

"If one refuses a toast, one must drink a forfeit. You two can continue your loving marriage underground. Attack them!"

After speaking, more than a hundred people surged in from outside the hall again.

"Step back!" Gong Xiaohua shouted at the ministers behind her.

"Be very careful!" Qin Chuyuan shouted.

"Okay."

On the other side, Prince Chen anxiously shouted, "Yu, be careful!"

"Father, just watch me tear these petty pests to shreds."

He was still unruly and cocky. Usually Prince Chen would have scolded him for this, but now he felt that’s exactly how he should be.

There were hundreds of people on both sides in the hall. On Gong Xiaohua's side, there were still only the original hundred people. Judging from the situation, the other side had brought in many more people and blocked their people outside the hall.

As soon as the fight started in the hall, there was also a chaotic battle outside the hall, with dense seas of people fighting. This was the first time the King Ye and Crown Prince saw Gong Xiaohua kill enemies. They saw her steadily stand in front of them with the Xiyuan Army soldiers to protect them behind her. Facing the rushing enemies, every move of her saber drew blood. It was quick, ruthless and showed no mercy.

The enemy commander was also extraordinary. He was originally the deputy general of the Garrison Army. He was very brave and had killed Lord Lin and the Garrison Army’s general. He was the Third Prince’s confidant who had been hiding in the Garrison Army.

Guo Fan fought against the deputy general. The two were comparable in size and were both power types. In his hands, the enemy walked twenty moves before being defeated by the opponent, showing that the opponent's martial arts were good, perhaps even very good.

Gong Xiaohua replaced Guo Fan and fought against the opponent. More than a dozen rebel soldiers surrounded her with the deputy general to attack her together.

In the fight between the two, every move was fatal. They fought fiercely. Gong Xiaohua was slightly better, but other soldiers kept interfering, making it difficult for her to get out for a while.

The rest of the Xiyuan Army fought as fiercely as Gong Xiaohua, making the ministers present shocked. They knew what the Xiyuan Army used to be like. It hadn’t been long since then, but their aura was like a rebirth. The Xiyuan Army could no longer be called the Drama Army.

However, no matter how fierce they were, no matter how fearless, after just over a month of training, facing endless enemies rushing over, it was difficult for two hands to match many fists. They became more and more exhausted and retreated step by step.

Fortunately, General Chen finally arrived with three other teams to reverse the situation and ended this rebellion with the defeat of the Third Prince.

Where there is war, there will be sacrifice. Some ministers watched their sons or nephews fall in front of them with tears streaming down their faces.

The Dayi Dynasty suffered heavy losses in this mutiny. The Third Prince was guilty of an unpardonable crime and was sentenced to death by decree.

As for the Wuji Sect, the King Ye was not so kind-hearted. He ordered the complete elimination of all influences lurking within the Dayi Dynasty.

The generals who participated in suppressing the rebellion were all rewarded and given gifts. General Chen was also transferred back to the capital to take charge of the garrison army outside the capital.

The original Xiyuan Army was still commanded by Gong Xiaohua. In addition, the Protection Army was handed over to Gong Xiaohua for her to maintain the safety of the capital, showing the King's extreme trust in her. Her rank was also promoted from the original fourth rank General Who Spreads Might to the third rank General Who Protects the City.

Because Guo Fan was originally involved in the rebellion but later abandoned the darkness and came to the light, the King was merciful, offsetting merits and demerits. And because Guo Fan insisted on requesting to follow Gong Xiaohua, he was eventually transferred to the Xiyuan Army.

He Lianyu was promoted to Deputy General of the Xiyuan Army. All officers and soldiers under the Xiyuan Army now obeyed his command except Gong Xiaohua.

After this battle, the sons of noble families who wanted to join the army would be sent to the Xiyuan Army for training.

The assassination attempts on the two princes and Crown Prince living in Changle Palace were not done by the same group, but the assassins were all extraordinary. The Second Prince was seriously injured. The palace sent the best doctor for external injuries to save his life.

Not long after the Dayi Dynasty quelled the rebellion, the princess and envoys of the Wei Country arrived at the capital of the Dayi Dynasty.
