After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

The people sent by the imperial court came in walking and left lying down. This incident once again shocked the noble families, and Jiang Xue Ning's reputation for cruelty and ruthlessness reached a new level.

The fact that the imperial court sent people to Xiangchu had already attracted the attention of all forces, and the apparent person in charge was Xiao Beirao.

Xiao Beirao was an official of the second rank general of the auxiliary state. He was the sixth uncle of Xiao Linfeng and Xiao Linglong. He played an indispensable role in Xiao Linfeng's smooth ascension to the throne.

It is intriguing that such a powerful and prestigious general would come to Hunan and Chu in person.

Jiang Li looked at the news reported by the secret guards and said, "This Xiao Beirao, although he seemed to be inconspicuous in the Xiao family before, he actually holds the military power."

Jiang Xue Ning didn't say anything, but a cold look flashed in her eyes.

The name "Xiao Beirao" was deeply engraved in her mind and she dared not forget it.

After all, it was him who killed her eldest brother and Gu Jiabing. When the Gu family was in trouble and their property was ransacked, her eldest brother escaped.

He escaped with 20,000 private soldiers of the Gu family, but was finally hunted down and beheaded by Xiao Beirao's troops. He also made great military achievements and was promoted step by step.

She had never taken the initiative to look for him because he was the one in charge of the military in the Xiao family. She knew very well that those with military power were the most difficult to deal with.

Jiang Li continued to frown and asked, "What exactly does he want to do this time?"

Jiang Xue Ning half-closed her eyes and said, "I don't care what he wants to do. Now that he's here, don't think about leaving easily."

Soon, they received news that a 100,000-man army had taken a detour and stopped outside of Xiangchu. They were probably private soldiers, so they did not receive the news in advance.

Xiao Beirao still lived in the post station in Xiangcheng with 5,000 officers and soldiers.

Although it is called Xiangchu, the layout is that Xiangcheng is in the front, closer to the outside world, and Chucheng is in the back. The two cities are not far apart, and there are several small cities scattered around, plus large tracts of land and forests, which make up Xiangchu.

The royal palace and major families are all in Chucheng. Chucheng can be said to be the heart of the entire Xiangchu. If you want to enter Chucheng, you must first enter Xiangcheng.

Jiang Xue Ning secretly gathered troops and appeared calm, waiting for Xiao Beirao to make a move.

Wu Jin hurriedly reported, "Xiao Beirao wants an explanation for Sang Wan's death and has already brought people to make a fuss."

She smiled sarcastically and said, "Sure enough, Sang Wan was the bait they cast. From the moment she stepped into Xiangchu, the ending was already determined."

"You guessed it, but you still killed her." Jiang Li said.

"Because I don't want to suffer injustice. Whatever happens to Xiao Beirao, I will make sure he never returns." She said with murderous intent.

Duan Xilou and Zuo Musheng came together, wearing black and white. One was calm and composed, while the other was full of murderous intent.

Jiang Xue Ning stood up and said coldly, "Let's go, we will go back to him."

They rode towards Xiangcheng, and as soon as they set out, the news spread everywhere, and all parties took action.

When they arrived in Xiangcheng, the area around the post station was extremely bustling.

The Lord of Xiangcheng came out to greet him personally, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Get up and go in and take a look."

The situation at the post station was already very tense. The city lord led 10,000 soldiers and confronted the 5,000 soldiers of the imperial court.

Seeing her coming, everyone made way. What's interesting is that Ning Yuan, Jing Yu, and all the major families were present in the post station.

Xiao Beirao was dressed in green and sat at the table in the middle, with a knife and wine on the table. He had a resolute face and a sharp gaze, and he looked oppressive sitting there.

Looking at the slender and thin woman who walked in, Xiao Beirao picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, "Yanyang, you have grown up. Your brother must be very pleased."

"Shut up!"

Jiang Xue Ning raised her hand and stabbed the silver spear in her hand. Xiao Beirao picked up the knife on the table to block it. Their eyes met with murderous intent.

The inn was very quiet. No one expected that they would draw their swords as soon as they met.

Xiao Beirao smiled gently, "Your temper is getting worse and worse, worthy of being the Queen."

Jiang Xue Ning let go of the silver spear in her hand and looked at him with hatred burning in her eyes, "You have no right to mention him!"

Her brother went to fight in the battlefield at the age of fifteen and was the most powerful man of his generation in the Gu family.

They were originally friends who fought side by side for life and death, but at the critical moment, he and the Xiao family stabbed him in the back.

"You must be very proud of yourself for killing him using everything he taught you."

Xiao Beirao said calmly, "I'm sorry, but it's inevitable that the Xiao family wants to take over. I don't regret it."

This is indeed the usual behavior of the Xiao family, they can step on everyone to get to the top with peace of mind.

The others were confused by this statement, and Jiang Xue Ning did not mention it any further.

"Take your people and get out of Xiangchu immediately."

Xiao Beirao looked at Duan Xilou and said with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect you to walk out of the dark prison alive."

Duan Xilou said calmly, "You haven't even died yet, how dare you die."

"Hahahahahaha." Xiao Beirao laughed wildly and said provocatively, "Then I want to see if General Yumian still looks as charming as ever on the battlefield."

In his heart, he was actually cursing Helian Xuan for being a waste, as he had locked the man up for so many years and didn't even kill him or disable him.

Jiang Xue Ning pointed her silver spear at him with the same aura as before, "So you want to fight? I'm ready for you anytime."

Xiao Beiruo narrowed his eyes, not knowing whether she really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand, and laughed lightly, "You are indeed young and energetic, and you look full of confidence."

"Don't be so excited. It is said that envoys from two countries at war will not be killed. It would be unfair for you to kill Miss Sang like this. She is a female official of the first rank and a special envoy specially appointed by His Majesty this time."

"I've already killed him. The dead cannot be resurrected. There's nothing wrong with that." Jiang Xue Ning's sharp eyes swept across his face. "Why do you have to pretend to be so righteous? Isn't this the result you want?"

Xiao Beirao chuckled, "You are wrong to say that. We are here with the emperor's order to sincerely persuade them to surrender."

Jiang Xue Ning didn't want to play along with him, so she pointed out his real purpose directly, "Stop talking about these nonsense. Is it difficult to just admit your real purpose?"

"They just want to hold me back. The Northwest doesn't want me to succeed. Once the fight starts, it will be difficult for me to take care of the Northwest."

Helian Xuan gave up the Northwest and the Wolf Fang Army. Xiao Linfeng obviously didn't want the Wolf Fang Army and the Northwest to fall into her hands. So he wanted to provoke a war and hold her back from sending troops to the Northwest.

Xiao Beirao didn't expect that she would speak so clearly right from the start, nor did he expect that she saw the situation so clearly.

"Sure enough, anyone who can reach this position cannot be a fool."

Zuo Musheng led his men to surround the entire post station. Jiang Xuening swept her eyes over the people in the hall, and finally returned to Xiao Beiruo, saying with a smile, "Then guess why I saw through your game and still cooperated with you step by step."

Xiao Beirao, who had always behaved like a superior, finally had a slightly changed expression and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Jiang Xue Ning smiled slightly, "This game is called inviting someone into a trap."
