The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Seeing Lu Jingyuan tying up Zhou Baiyuan tightly, Wen Xiong couldn't help but feel a sense of helpless lament in his heart, secretly lamenting his misfortune.

The military merit that was about to be achieved was so easily shattered...

He stood there in a daze, his eyes empty, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Duan Tianyang saw this and mistakenly thought that Wen Xiong was still blaming himself for what happened earlier. He walked up and said softly, "General Wen, I didn't take what happened just now to heart. You don't have to blame yourself..."

Before he finished speaking, two hurried calls suddenly rang out from behind Wen Xiong: "Senior Brother Duan——"

Turning around, he saw Xiao Si and Wang Qiang running over breathlessly. Just as Duan Tianyang was puzzled, Zhang Liao appeared at the right time and explained, "Sir, these two are my junior brothers, Xiao Si and Wang Qiang."

The two of them stepped forward quickly, bowed, and said earnestly: "I am Wang Qiang (Xiao Si), the humble man, and I greet you, Senior Brother!"

Duan Tianyang suddenly realized, his eyes flashing with approval: "We were able to break through Shengluo City so quickly this time, you two and Zhang Liao have made great contributions!"

Xiao Si and Wang Qiang were so happy that they could not hide their feelings, but they still maintained humility on their faces: "Since we heard that Senior Brother was in Xiguan, we have vowed to follow him until death. It is our great honor to be able to serve Senior Brother!"

Duan Tianyang laughed heartily upon hearing this, patted the two on the shoulders, and vowed: "We are all fellow disciples. From now on in Xiguan, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will never let you go hungry!"

"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Liao, Xiao Si and Wang Qiang bowed again to express their gratitude.

At this time, Xiao Si seemed to remember something, and his expression became serious: "Did the lord send a girl to sneak into the city lord's mansion to assassinate Zhou Baiyuan?"

Duan Tianyang's eyes flashed with light, and he asked anxiously: "Is the surname of the girl you are talking about Tong?"

"I only know her pseudonym Xiaoqian, but I don't know her real name."

"Where is she now?" Duan Tianyang's tone was full of concern.

"She is living safely in my house right now." Xiao Si answered calmly with a smile on his face.

Recalling the day when Tong Ling was captured, the Hongxing Army was attacking the city. Zhou Baiyuan personally went to West City to command the defense, and the defenses in the City Lord's Mansion were lax.

The members of Yinwu Hall were tasked with protecting Tong Ling. Although there were only three of them, they resolutely broke into the City Lord's Mansion with the intention of rescuing him.

Although Zhou Baiyuan went to West City, there were still a large number of rebel soldiers left in the City Lord's Mansion.

Xiao Si took advantage of the chaos to hide Tong Ling, and when Zhou Baiyuan came back to investigate, he cleverly used the name of an assassin and lied that Tong Ling had been rescued.

How could Zhou Baiyuan have expected that his most trusted Xiao Si would hide Xiao Qian in his own house? He also ordered a city-wide search to find Xiao Qian and her accomplices, but he didn't know that Xiao Qian had never left the City Lord's Mansion...

Hearing that Tong Ling was bravely rescued by Xiao Si, Duan Tianyang felt relieved. He nodded in approval and said in a deep voice, "Well done!"

The North City fell, and the city defenses collapsed one by one like dominoes. The rebel leader Zhou Baiyuan was also captured alive. There was no suspense in this battle anymore.

Inside the city of Saint Luo, the rebels' morale was completely lost, their army was in disarray, their casualties fled, and they each formed their own camps, making it difficult for them to form an effective counterattack force.

Duan Tianyang led the Hongxing Army with unstoppable force and marched straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, there were flashes of swords and the battle was fierce in the City Lord's Mansion.

The second and third corps led by Xiao Fang and Guan Hu had also penetrated deep into the city. Inside and outside the city, the bodies of the rebels were strewn everywhere, which was a shocking sight.

Just as Duan Tianyang was about to step into the City Lord's Mansion, a group of rebels rushed out like trapped beasts.

There was no need for Duan Tianyang to take action, as Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer, Qiu Tieyi and others had already drawn their swords, and dozens of people were killed in an instant.

Just as everyone was killing the rebels, the Hongxing Army poured out from the City Lord's Mansion, and Xiao Fang and Guan Hu were among them.

Guan Hu panted heavily, his face full of anger, and walked quickly to Duan Tianyang, saying angrily: "Brother Tian, ​​we almost turned the entire City Lord's Mansion upside down, but we still can't find the thief Zhou Baiyuan!"

Duan Tianyang smiled and said, "Of course you can't find him, because he has been caught by us."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Fang and Guan Hu's eyes suddenly sparkled with joy, and they cheered in unison: "Great!"

Duan Tianyang asked leisurely: "Are there still rebels in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Xiao Fang replied: "Only a few enemy troops are still struggling in vain."

Duan Tianyang nodded and walked steadily into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

The sight of corpses lying across the hall was shocking. He immediately ordered them to be cleared up, and then told Xiao Fang and Guan Hu in detail the whole story of the surrender of Zhang Liao and the other two.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and asked with concern: "Where is Tong Ling now?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Si replied, "She is resting in my room now. I will go and pick her up now." After saying this, he left in a hurry.

Soon, a loud announcement came from outside the door: "The princess has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned around and looked towards the door.

Yi Shuirou was seen walking slowly into the hall, surrounded by disciples of Linghua Palace.

Duan Tianyang and the others hurried forward, bowed and greeted in unison: "Greetings, Princess!"

Yi Shuirou ignored everyone else. Her eyes were deep and fixed on Duan Tianyang.

Seeing that his face was flushed but he didn't look hurt at all, the burden in my heart finally fell to the ground.

In today's siege, Duan Tianyang shoulders the most difficult task - sneaking into the enemy city. Once exposed, he will become the target of public criticism.

Seeing that he was safe and sound at this moment, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression was still solemn, with a hint of displeasure revealed between her brows.

"Last night, we had already carefully deployed the tactics, and you led the troops to launch a surprise attack on the North City. Why did you change the plan without authorization today and risk your life to sneak into the city?" Although her voice was reproachful, it could not hide the concern in it.

Duan Tianyang felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Things in the world are unpredictable, and plans cannot keep up with changes. This morning Zhou Baiyuan sent people to ask for peace. There is no reason for me to miss such a good opportunity. So I led people to sneak into the city and wait for the army outside the city to launch an offensive, so that we can cooperate from inside and outside."

After hearing this, Yi Shuirou's brows did not relax. She said worriedly: "This move is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be doomed."

"Am I not standing here peacefully now?"

"Zhang Liao played an indispensable role in your victory, right?" Her words revealed sharpness and insight, and it was obvious that she knew the whole matter well.

Duan Tianyang nodded and said, "It is indeed thanks to him that things went so smoothly this time."

Yi Shuirou glanced at him lightly, and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "This is just a special case. If you act so rashly and disregard the consequences again in the future, I will never forgive you. Your life no longer belongs to you alone."

Others might think that what Yi Shuirou meant was that Duan Tianyang’s life also belonged to the Hongxing Army.

However, he keenly grasped the unspoken meaning - his life was also cherished by her.

Duan Tianyang smiled but said nothing. Yi Shuirou coughed lightly and changed the subject, asking, "Where is Zhang Liao?"

Zhang Liao stood frozen in silence, knowing full well that he was a wanted criminal by the imperial court, and the princess before him represented the imperial court.
