Du Cheng'an has superb archery skills.

He will definitely be of great use on the battlefield.

This is a great achievement.

General Zhenyuan had only one son.

Du Cheng'an shot and killed General Zhenyuan's only son, which must have made General Zhenyuan furious. When people are angry, it is easy to make mistakes. If something goes wrong in the marching and deployment of troops on the battlefield, it can be fatal.

When this good news was sent to the capital, Princess Huyang was proud of her son. Over the past six months, she had complained a lot about her husband agreeing to let Du Cheng'an go to the battlefield.

The emperor was even more pleased and rewarded Princess Huyang and her husband, as well as Du Cheng'an's adoptive parents.

Du Cheng'an was left alone since he was born, but his talent was not buried, which is very rare.

However, the Emperor and Princess Huyang did not know that just when they were proud of Du Cheng'an, Du Cheng'an, who was far away on the battlefield at the border, lured the enemy with his body and was almost beaten to death by General Zhenyuan.

Du Cheng'an was an expert archer, and he often killed people with a bow and arrow under the protection of the Prince of Yanping and others.

This is how the son of General Zhenyuan died from Du Cheng'an's arrow.

General Zhenyuan was furious when his only son was killed by Du Cheng'an. He was determined to take Du Cheng'an's head at all costs to avenge his son.

After that day, whenever Du Cheng'an went to the battlefield, Xiliang would besiege wherever he was.

If it weren't for the desperate rescue efforts of Prince Yanping and Tang Ze, Du Cheng'an would probably not have had the chance to return from the battlefield the next day.

Du Cheng'an's life was completely targeted by General Zhenyuan. Xie Jingyan was even more afraid that there were still spies of King Cheng in the military camp who had not been caught. If King Cheng took Du Cheng'an's life to appease General Zhenyuan, it would be hard to guard against.

A general suggested that Du Cheng'an return to the capital, but Du Cheng'an disagreed. Xiliang had not withdrawn its troops yet, so if he went back like this, wouldn't that mean he was afraid of Xiliang?

It would be fine if he lost his own face, but he would never lose face for his father and the emperor.

He was able to come to the border this time thanks to his father speaking for him. If he really went back like this, his mother would definitely not let him go to the battlefield again.

He would rather die on the battlefield than do such a shameful thing.

Xie Jingyan admired Du Chengan's courage. He said, "Perhaps we can take advantage of General Zhenyuan's murderous intentions towards you and capture him alive."

Prince Yeonpyeong disagreed, "This is too risky."

Du Chengan said, "I'm not afraid!"

Even Shen Jing did not agree with Xie Jingyan's actions. Du Cheng'an was the only son of Princess Huyang and her husband. If he was asked to lure the enemy with himself, if anything went wrong, neither Princess Huyang nor the emperor would forgive him.

Xie Jingyan knew that this was a risky move, but since he made such a proposal, he must be somewhat confident.

He made a detailed plan, and on the day the plan was to be implemented, he gave Du Cheng'an the heart-protecting mirror given to him by the emperor.

After entering the battlefield, the Xiliang soldiers surrounded Du Cheng'an again. Du Cheng'an pretended to be defeated and fled for his life under the cover of the Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze. In a panic, he fled to a place not far from General Zhenyuan.

After seeing General Zhenyuan, Du Cheng'an turned pale and ran away.

There is an opportunity to avenge his son personally, and the Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze are not around, and Du Cheng'an is only surrounded by a few soldiers. This is tantamount to committing suicide. General Zhenyuan will not miss it.

Just as Xie Jingyan expected, General Zhenyuan personally killed Du Cheng'an. Du Cheng'an was good at archery, but his martial arts were no match for General Zhenyuan. Fortunately, he had a heart-protecting mirror, so Du Cheng'an was able to withstand a kick from General Zhenyuan.

Well, the Prince of Yanping, Tang Ze and Lu Cheng are not with Du Cheng'an, but those soldiers are not ordinary people. They are Chen Feng, Chen Yu and Xie Jingyan in disguise.

Du Cheng'an was kicked by General Zhenyuan and staggered a few steps. When General Zhenyuan was about to kill Du Cheng'an, he was stopped by Xie Jingyan.

The moment General Zhenyuan recognized Xie Jingyan, he realized that he had fallen into a trap, but it was too late. The Prince of Yanping and Tangze Shendu and others led people to cut off General Zhenyuan's retreat and surrounded General Zhenyuan and a dozen of his confidants.

General Zhenyuan was a conceited man. Even if he was alone with a dozen of his trusted men, he was confident that he could fight his way out.

But he underestimated Xie Jingyan's martial arts. In the eyes of General Zhenyuan, Xie Jingyan was just a prince who was demoted to guard the imperial mausoleum at the age of twelve, and had been in a wheelchair for two years. He was also unable to acclimate to the climate and environment on the battlefield. How could he be a match for General Zhenyuan?

If he couldn't kill the nephew of the Emperor of Great Chu, it would be the same to take the life of the Emperor of Great Chu's own son to be buried with his son.

General Zhenyuan and Xie Jingyan fought on the battlefield.

Xie Jingyan really thought that he was suffering from acclimatization before, but later he found out that it was due to his wife's morning sickness. But no matter which one it was, it was enough for the Xiliang soldiers to ignore him. After recovering, Xie Jingyan personally led the troops to kill the enemy, but when fighting with ordinary soldiers or even generals, Xie Jingyan never used his full strength. General Zhenyuan really didn't know the depth of his martial arts.

Not to mention that General Zhenyuan didn't know, in fact, Xie Jingyan himself was not very clear about it, otherwise he would not have kicked the Prince of Anding and broke one of his ribs.

But based on Xie Jingyan's understanding of himself, he was 50% sure of capturing General Zhenyuan alive.

Even if he couldn't, he was sure he could get away with it.

There's no reason not to give it a try.

Then--

Just as planned.

General Zhenyuan was eager to avenge his son and underestimated the enemy, so he was captured alive by Xie Jingyan.

The general was captured alive and the Western Liang army was defeated.

The Crown Prince of Xiliang wants to get rid of General Zhenyuan, but General Zhenyuan's life is worthless, so Xie Jingyan wants Xiliang to exchange King Cheng for General Zhenyuan.

King Cheng was hiding in the Xiliang military camp. He knew that General Zhenyuan was eager to avenge his son, but he did not expect that Xie Jingyan would dare to use Princess Huyang and the son of her husband as bait and capture General Zhenyuan alive.

The loss was caught off guard.

As soon as the news came back that General Zhenyuan had been captured alive, King Cheng knew something was wrong and fled immediately.

But didn't escape.

There were people from the Crown Prince of Xiliang in the Xiliang military camp. In order to ensure the safety of King Cheng, General Zhenyuan arranged for his confidants to follow King Cheng.

Could General Zhenyuan's confidants allow King Cheng to escape right under their noses?

King Cheng has escaped, what can they use to exchange for their great general?

King Cheng was captured almost as soon as he left the tent.

The news that Xie Jingyan captured General Zhenyuan alive was even more exciting than the news that Du Cheng'an shot General Zhenyuan's son to death with one arrow.

The emperor is as proud of his nephew as he is of his own son.

When the emperor found out that Xie Jingyan had used Du Chengan to lure and capture General Zhenyuan, even though Du Chengan had a heart-protection mirror, he was still so injured that he couldn't get out of bed for three days. The emperor wanted to beat Xie Jingyan again.

The emperor was angry that Xie Jingyan used Du Cheng'an's life as bait, and he was also angry that Xie Jingyan fought against General Zhenyuan of Xiliang without even wearing a heart-protection mirror.

Not to mention Princess Huyang. Although Du Cheng'an was already safe when she received the good news, her heart was trembling like a sieve when she heard the news.

The battlefield was dangerous to begin with, not to mention the temptation to lure the enemy. Princess Huyang was furious and said to her husband, "No matter what you say, I will never let An'er go to the battlefield again!"

The eldest son-in-law was also still in fear. He said, "It was a bit risky this time, but Prince Ling gave his heart-protecting mirror to An'er."

Princess Huyang said, "If the heart-protecting mirror was so effective, why would An'er be so injured that he couldn't get out of bed for three days?"

The eldest son-in-law said, "An'er has suffered a lot, but without An'er as bait, the war has not stopped until now. I don't know how many more soldiers will die at the hands of Xiliang."

"Since An'er is fine, don't be angry."

Princess Huyang didn't say anything about what had already happened, but she was afraid it would happen again.

She only has one son, An'er.

She had not been around her son since he was young and he had suffered a lot. When Princess Huyang thought about it, she felt guilty towards her son.

The eldest prince consort didn't say much. There was no need for him to argue with Princess Huyang about future matters.

We’ll talk about the future in the future.
