Late at night, Du Yunsheng was buried in work in his study, when suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the night. Then, a dark shadow rushed in from the window like a ghost, holding a sharp blade and heading straight for Du Yunsheng.

Du Yunsheng panicked and dodged quickly, but the shadow moved as fast as the wind and approached her in an instant. At this critical moment, Jiang Shaohan rushed in from the door like lightning and blocked Du Yunsheng.

"Shao Han, be careful!" Du Yunsheng exclaimed.

Jiang Shaohan drew his sword to meet the enemy, and started a thrilling fight with the black shadow. Du Yunsheng also picked up the whisk on the table and joined the battle. After a life-and-death battle, they finally subdued the black shadow and captured it.

"Who are you? Why do you want to harm Yun Sheng?" Jiang Shaohan asked sternly.

After the black shadow was subdued, the token of Prince Zhao was found on him. It turned out that the black shadow was a follower of Prince Zhao, who was ordered to assassinate Du Yunsheng with the intention of shaking the foundation of the General's Mansion.

Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan handed the black shadow over to the guards in the mansion and interrogated him strictly. During the interrogation, the black shadow revealed the hiding place of Prince Zhao's followers.

After learning the news, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan immediately led the elite troops in the palace to the hiding place of Prince Zhao's followers. After a fierce battle, they successfully wiped out Prince Zhao's followers.

After Prince Zhao's followers were wiped out, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan realized that they had to strengthen the defenses of the mansion to prevent Prince Zhao's followers from making a comeback.

Therefore, they began to strengthen the fortifications in the palace, set up additional patrol posts, and strictly inspected the personnel in the palace. At the same time, they reported the matter to the court and asked the court to send troops to provide support.

With the support of the court, the defense of the General's Mansion became more impregnable. However, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan knew that the struggle was far from over. Although the power of Prince Zhao was wiped out, his remnants were still lurking in the dark, and they had to remain vigilant at all times.

In the days that followed, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan led everyone in the mansion and worked diligently to manage the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner. They understood that only by making the mansion prosperous could they ensure their own safety.

However, just when they thought all the crises were over, an unexpected enemy appeared. This enemy was not a member of Prince Zhao's party, but a powerful official named Prince Huo. Prince Huo was ambitious and intended to usurp the throne. He coveted the status and power of the General's Mansion and tried to win over Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan to his side.

Prince Huo sent someone to deliver a secret letter, which read: "I am well aware of your prominent position in the General's Mansion. If you can join me, you will have a bright future."

After reading the secret letter, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan exchanged glances, knowing that this was a severe test. They knew that if they accepted Prince Huo's invitation, they would not only betray General Zhengxi, but also endanger the safety of everyone in the mansion.

"Shao Han, we can't agree to him." Du Yunsheng said firmly.

Jiang Shaohan nodded resolutely and said in a deep voice: "Yun Sheng, we must not let the tragedy of Prince Zhao happen again."

Therefore, they decided to reject Prince Huo's solicitation and reported the matter to General Zhengxi. After General Zhengxi learned about it, he immediately sent elite troops to support them and finally succeeded in catching all of Prince Huo's followers.

Prince Huo's eyes lingered on Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan, only to see that they looked indifferent and were not moved by his invitation. He sneered in his heart, knowing that it would be difficult to win their hearts with just a secret letter. So, he decided to visit them in person and show his ambition and generosity with greater sincerity.

Soon, Prince Huo, dressed in luxurious official uniform and walking calmly, came to the General Zhengxi Mansion. He had an extraordinary temperament, and as soon as he stepped into the mansion, the solemn and dignified atmosphere came to his face, demonstrating his dignity and majesty.

"Yun Sheng, Shao Han, I have heard of your fame for a long time. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to visit your house today." Prince Huo had a warm smile on his face and his tone revealed sincere respect.

Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan exchanged glances, knowing full well that Prince Huo's visit was of great importance and there must be some deeper meaning behind it.

"Prince Huo is too modest. We are just doing our duty." Jiang Shaohan responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Seeing that the two of them were still keeping their hearts shut, Prince Huo became increasingly anxious. He made a prompt decision and decided to adjust his strategy, trying to find a breakthrough from Du Yunsheng.

"Miss Yun Sheng, I heard that you have been gifted with both talent and beauty since childhood, and are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Today, we have specially invited a famous scholar and would like to invite you to display your talents. What do you think?" Prince Huo invited with a smile.

Du Yunsheng's heart moved. She understood that Prince Huo was testing her, but her dancing style had already been circulated in the martial arts world, and this time she was just going with the flow.

"In that case, please enlighten me, Lord Huo." Du Yunsheng opened her red lips slightly, gently but firmly.

Prince Huo nodded with satisfaction, and then signaled the zither player beside him to start playing. The sound of the zither was like weeping and complaining, and Du Yunsheng danced gracefully, her dancing posture was like a fairy descending to the earth, intoxicating.

After the dance, Prince Huo clapped his hands and praised: "Miss Yun Sheng, your dancing skills are outstanding. I am amazed. If I could have your company, I would devote my whole life to it."

Du Yunsheng's cheeks flushed. She already had someone else in her heart and absolutely could not agree.

"Prince Huo, I already have someone I love, so it's not convenient for me to marry again." Du Yunsheng declined politely, with a hint of firmness in her tone.

Prince Huo's face darkened slightly. He had never expected Du Yunsheng to be so resolute. He snorted coldly and said, "If that's the case, then I won't force it. I hope that when he looks back on this day, he won't regret it."

Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan looked at each other and both felt the warning from Prince Huo. They knew that the competition was getting more intense and they had to stay alert at all times.

After Prince Huo left, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan immediately discussed countermeasures. They realized that in order to resist Prince Huo's threats, they must strengthen the security of the mansion and actively seek allies.

After careful planning, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan finally found a like-minded ally - the prince of a neighboring country, who agreed to provide military support to fight against Prince Huo's conspiracy.

With the strong support of the prince, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan carefully prepared a grand banquet and invited ministers and heroes from all walks of life to demonstrate their sincerity and determination to jointly meet the upcoming challenges.

On this glittering banquet night, the lights were turned on, colorful flags were flying in the General Zhengxi's mansion, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Du Yunsheng, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with outstanding temperament, slowly stepped into the banquet hall, like a star falling into the mortal world, and immediately became the focus of everyone. Jiang Shaohan accompanied him, and the two of them were calm and relaxed, but secretly speculated about the upcoming changes.
