Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince

Yan Ruoshi could tell that the two of them were confident, and he felt relieved. He was very self-aware of things he didn't understand, so he immediately issued an order, leaving all military and national affairs to the two of them to handle, without having to ask for permission specifically.

In a nutshell, they do whatever is convenient for them.

Yan Kaiyu returned home and sat in a chair, thinking hard. He said that he was not worried or anxious, but if he really had to face it, it would definitely be a tricky matter and he had to think of a foolproof plan.

Otherwise, the country will be destroyed in an instant.

Shangguan Zimeng poured him some hot tea. Seeing the gloom on his face, she rubbed his shoulders and asked softly, "Husband, why are you so sad? Have you encountered something bad again?"

"Not yet, but soon."

He held her hand tightly, as if this could give him some comfort. The effect was indeed good. He calmed down and began to tell her the news from the palace.

……

When Emperor Wen of Cambodia learned that Zai Kuo's troops were besieging the capital of Nanlin, he was overjoyed and personally led his soldiers to the city of Nanlin to supervise the battle.

The Emperor of Nanlin was as timid as a mouse. Seeing the enemy approaching the city, he knew that the current Emperor Wen of Cambodia liked beautiful women, so without saying a word, he sent the princess to him with full sincerity, calling it a marriage for peace, just to save his life.

The princess was so young, but the King of Cambodia fell in love with her after seeing her. He spent a night with her and died in humiliation. Afterwards, he refused to admit it and ordered the army to attack immediately.

The Emperor of Nanlin was angry, but he was cowardly, weak and incompetent. His soldiers wanted to resist, but he insisted on surrendering. It was a small country, and it was even more tragic to have such an emperor.

Prince Xu Yin of Nanlin disguised himself as a commoner and escaped during the chaos.

Emperor Wen of Jian looked proudly at Emperor Nanlin who surrendered to him. When he learned that Zhang Lin was still resisting and refusing to surrender, he became furious and led his army straight to Qingcheng.

He ordered the warriors to take Emperor Nanlin and shouted to the city: "Zhanglin! Your emperor has surrendered. Hurry up and surrender the city. Don't resist stubbornly, otherwise you will die!"

In order to save his life, Emperor Nanlin shamelessly shouted: "Zhanglin! I have an order! I order you to open the city gates and surrender immediately! Otherwise, you will be disobeying my order!"

Zhang Lin knew that the emperor was unreliable and far less courageous than the prince, so he remained unmoved and said, "Since my king has surrendered, why not meet the prince?"

"Prince?"

Emperor Jianwen then realized that there was still a prince who had not been caught. He grabbed the collar of Emperor Nanlin and asked, "Old man, where is your son?"

"He he he, I don't know either."

"You don't know?" The Cambodian Emperor thought that the person must have escaped, so he decided to deal with the matter here first and then hunt him down. He threatened, "Old man, if you want to live, tell Zhang Lin to open the city gate and surrender immediately."

When Emperor Nanlin heard that there was a chance to survive, he immediately became grateful, put on his image as a corrupt emperor, and shouted at Zhang Lin to surrender immediately.

Zhang Lin looked down at him, still unmoved. He knew very well in his heart that as long as the prince did not show up, it meant that he was still alive and there was still hope for this country.

Seeing that he had no intention of surrendering, Emperor Nanlin shouted hysterically: "Zhang Lin! Do you want me to die?! Open the city gates and surrender immediately! Otherwise, I will punish you!"

Zhang Lin retorted: "My king is confused. You have surrendered. According to the ancestral system, the crown prince should succeed to the throne. Since you surrendered, you cannot punish me."

"Nonsense! The capital is gone! How can we even talk about the crown prince succeeding to the throne? Are you planning a rebellion?!"

"The capital city that my king represented is gone. Now Qingcheng is the capital city! This general leads the soldiers to guard here and wait for the prince to return. As long as the prince is still here, Nanlin will not perish! How can you say he is treasoning?!"

"Zhang Lin! You are rebelling!"

Emperor Khmer didn't want to watch this clown's performance anymore, so he said calmly: "What's the use of you?!"

He drew his sword and struck him in front of the battle line.

Zhang Lin saw with his own eyes that the emperor was dead. This was a good opportunity to boost morale. He immediately went to the other side of the city wall and shouted to the soldiers and civilians inside.

"Soldiers! Fellow villagers! Our emperor has been brutally murdered by them. What a blood feud! What a shame! They are a group of vicious bandits and demons who kill without blinking an eye. Right now, we can only unite as one, share the same hatred and resist their attack together to prevent this place from becoming a hell on earth!"

The deputy general was very perceptive. He drew his sword and shouted to the sky: "Fight to the death! Defend Qingcheng!"

It has to be said that this method of boosting morale was very effective. Both soldiers and civilians gave deafening shouts to show their determination to defend Qingcheng.

When Emperor Wen of Cambodia heard the shouting inside, he was furious and ordered his soldiers to attack immediately. He wanted to take the city in one fell swoop, massacre all the people in the city, and then kill Zhang Lin with his sword.

Unfortunately, Qingcheng has a steep terrain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it has abundant food and grass. There are more than 20,000 elite defenders, and some civilians go up to the city walls to guard their homes. In addition, Zhang Lin leads his troops well and defends properly, so Qingcheng is as solid as an iron barrel.

The Cambodian army was unable to capture the city after a long siege and suffered heavy losses. No matter how angry the Cambodian emperor was, it was of no use and he sat in frustration and rage in his tent every day.

Finally, he left Xia Kuo to continue the siege and attack, sent people to track down Xu Yin's whereabouts, and returned to the court himself.
