Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The snow kept falling, with no sign of stopping.

Prince Yan and his men are attacking with all their might and are becoming more and more ferocious.

Perhaps he realized that it was not so easy to seize the throne, or perhaps he was determined to fight to the death, his attacks became more and more fierce.

The Prince of Yan has now completely torn off the suave exterior he has always pretended to be, revealing his true face.

He led a team of elite soldiers that he had carefully trained over the years and was invincible all the way. Thanks to the efforts made by Concubine Rou in the palace, his attack was very smooth. Although the strength of the Yulin Army should not be underestimated, after all, they were not people who had really been on the battlefield. In terms of actual combat, they still lacked experience, so the King of Yan took advantage of the opportunity.

The King of Yan personally went to the battlefield, holding his sword high in his hand, and shouted: "Those who don't want to die, get out of the way. Now that my father is seriously ill, the King of Jin wants to seize the throne. I am acting on behalf of heaven and executing this traitor, the King of Jin."

The Prince of Yan had always been able to confuse right and wrong. Even at the end, he still hoped to make people believe that it was the Prince of Jin who was doing the wrong thing first, and he was just doing what a prince should do. Even though he broke into the palace with a fake, he still didn't give up and found such a high-sounding excuse.

While Prince Yan was killing people, he was also luring people in the palace. With his familiarity with the terrain of the palace and everything that Concubine Rou had arranged for him, he soon broke into a place not far from the Emperor's bedroom.

Li Mi, the leader of the Yulin Army, fought desperately, but the Yulin Army he led was already wounded and overwhelmed.

Prince Yan sneered and looked towards the Emperor's bedroom, as if the coveted position was within his grasp, his eyes full of greed.

King Yan retracted his gaze and shouted, "Charge!"

Upon hearing this, the people under the King of Yan launched an even more frantic attack. After all, the King of Yan had promised them that if they succeeded, he would grant them the status of founding generals. It must be said that this condition was tempting enough for them.

Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong, who were still waiting not far from the palace, finally received reinforcements. Lu Zhiling, wearing armor, led a group of brothers who followed them all the way from the northern border, and rode on war horses.

When the soldiers saw Xie Yunsong, they were excited, "General, we are here——"

Xie Yunsong glanced at them with a determined look in his eyes and said, "I am no longer your general."

Someone in the crowd said: "You will always be our general——"

"yes--"

"Yes, General—"

Bai Zhiyuan looked at this group of passionate soldiers and thought of the days when he fought with everyone in the north, and he suddenly felt nostalgic.

Then, Xie Yunsong said: "Comrades, although I have no official position now, I have to go to the capital today because of the danger. It is the duty of the men who go to the capital. Everyone, follow me to charge into the palace, capture the traitors, and ensure the safety of Dali!"

The blood of the soldiers was boiling. Since returning to Beijing from the North, they had not felt the feeling of fighting for a long time. This time, the familiar feeling came back, and everyone immediately said, "Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunsong smiled with satisfaction. This group of soldiers had been following him since he entered the barracks, and he was the one who trained them.

Without further ado, Xie Yunsong nodded to Lu Zhiling, who immediately understood and said, "All soldiers, set off!"

Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan rode together on a horse, walking in the front. Lu Zhiling was behind them, and behind them was an army that had returned victoriously from the northern border. This time, the King of Yan was probably dreaming.

Just when Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan were rushing to the palace with reinforcements, Prince Yan had already led his men into the emperor's bedroom.

Prince Yan walked in front and kicked open the tightly closed door. The eunuchs and palace maids around him had already knelt on the ground and trembled in fear.

Seeing this, the Prince of Yan became even more arrogant, holding a sword and rushing towards the dragon bed of Emperor Renxiao. However, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw the Prince of Jin, who looked calm and composed, sitting in front of the bed of Emperor Renxiao and drinking tea silently.

The King of Yan was so overwhelmed by victory at this time. If it were any other day, with his shrewdness, he would have noticed something wrong, but at this moment, all he could think about was that he was only one step away from success.

King Yan sneered, pointed the tip of his sword at King Jin and said, "Seventh brother, you are calm. It's already such a mess outside, and you still have the leisure to drink tea here!"

King Jin smiled and said, "Isn't it Fifth Brother who caused the chaos outside? What does Fifth Brother want to see? Do you want to see me crying and begging for mercy on my knees?"

"Then I'm afraid I'll disappoint Fifth Brother. We royal children always shed blood but not tears. Even if I die today, I will never beg for mercy."

King Yan mocked, "You are still stubborn even when you are about to die. Seventh brother, Fifth brother underestimated you. I didn't expect that you would force me to this path in the end. I defeated Third brother, but I didn't expect that I was just making wedding clothes for you. However, it doesn't matter anymore. Everything will be settled today. I will ascend to the supreme position, and you will become a lonely ghost today."

Prince Jin calmly poured another cup of tea and said with a smile, "Fifth Brother, why are you so confident? Do you think you will succeed today?"

The King of Yan said coldly, "Don't try to delay time. I have made full preparations for today. Since I set my mind on vying for the throne, I have been training my own army. I have kept them outside the city for these years, just to use them one day. I carefully selected and trained each of them, and today they have lived up to expectations and helped me come here to take your life."

Prince Jin curled his lips and said, "Really? Seeing Fifth Brother so confident, I am actually worried about him."

King Yan was startled, and suddenly a bad feeling rose in his heart. He asked, "What do you mean?"

But he was not sure. He listened attentively. There was still fighting outside. He looked up and carefully observed the expression of King Jin, hoping to see something from him. However, King Jin's expression was calm from beginning to end, so he could not see anything. After thinking for a moment, King Yan smiled and said, "You are about to die, yet you still want to disturb me. Let me guess, are you waiting for Xie Yunsong to rescue you? You don't know, I left a large number of soldiers near the city gate. Once Xie Yunsong gets close, no matter if he has three heads and six arms, he will probably be dead by now."

Upon hearing this, the King of Jin raised his head, his eyes wavering, and said, "I heard that Princess Rong'an escaped. I have seen the ways in which Fifth Brother dealt with people, but I didn't expect that he would show mercy to the Princess."

The words of the King of Jin really touched the King of Yan's sore spot. He said bitterly, "I have been lenient with her many times because of our friendship in Zhongnan Mountain. Since she is so stubborn, I don't mind letting her die with Xie Yunsong."

Prince Jin curled his lips and said mockingly, "I'm afraid that in Fifth Brother's heart, no one can shake your desire for the throne."

The King of Yan spoke in a voice as cold as ice, "Those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish. Stop talking nonsense, today I will kill you and this old man, and from now on no one in Dali will be able to stop me."

As the King of Yan spoke, he raised his sword and was about to attack the King of Jin. The King of Jin said sternly, "Fifth brother, you can kill me, but our father has been unconscious for so long that he can no longer stop you. Why do you still want to kill him?"

Prince Yan said in a cold tone, "Father? When has this old man ever thought of me? His favorite son is Prince Chen, but it's a pity that Prince Chen is not up to the standard. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how well I have done, he has never been willing to look at me straight in the eye. On the contrary, he treats Xie Yunsong better than me. I tried desperately to perform in front of him, but he became more and more cold to me. Do you think I hate him? I wish he would die right now. After so many years, I finally have this opportunity. I want to kill him with my own hands."

As the King of Yan said this, he turned his sword and pointed it straight at Emperor Renxiao. When he was only one step away from Emperor Renxiao, the Emperor on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. The King of Yan was startled and took a few steps back. He was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the sword in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a clang.
