Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

There was only one candidate for deputy general to be sent to the battlefield in Southern Shu. Lu Changyuan recommended Guo Xiao, and King Zhuang recommended Yun Qingxiao.

A competition is inevitable.

In Prince Zhuang's mansion, Xie Jinzhao was trying on a set of soft armor.

The expensive full-length Western mirrors brought back from overseas trade can clearly reflect a person's every detail, making them look absolutely real.

Xie Jinzhao had a rouge sword tied around her slender waist, and her soft armor fitted her body tightly. Her graceful figure was flexible and powerful due to her martial arts training, and her slender figure was so well-proportioned that King Zhuang's mouth was dry.

"Do you have to use the surname Yun? If you don't know, you might think you and Yunqing are a family." King Zhuang held Xie Jinzhao's shoulders and turned her over to face him.

Xie Jinzhao brushed his hand away, "Don't be so unreasonable, okay? Yunqing is my master's adopted son. My master's surname is Yun. I follow my master's surname. What's wrong with that?"

"Isn't it good to have the last name Ling?" King Zhuang insisted.

Xie Jinzhao rolled his eyes at him. "It's the royal family surname of Northern Qi. If my last name was Ling, how many people would ask about me? I might as well just call myself Xie Jinzhao."

"Yeah, what's wrong with just calling Xie Jinzhao? I don't mind my princess going to the battlefield. It's a good opportunity to let Nanchen Xiao Shengyuan see who his future enemy will be."

"Ling Qingchen, why do I feel you are so childish now?" Xie Jinzhao drew out the Rouge Sword and wiped and oiled it carefully with a piece of soft cloth, more meticulously than taking care of his own face. "Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. Why am I sending myself to Xiao Shengyuan now?"

She glanced at Ling Qingchen and said, "Or do you have the final say in Northern Qi now?"

The competition is scheduled for after noon.

Guo Xiao followed Lu Changyuan into the palace, and the two walked side by side.

"Who is Yun Qingxiao? How come I have never heard of this name?" Guo Xiao was in high spirits. It was disgusting that King Zhuang recommended an unknown person.

Lu Changyuan had already obtained inside information and knew that Yun Qingxiao was Xie Jinzhao's pseudonym. As a royal daughter-in-law, it was impossible for her to go to the battlefield under her real name.

He was too embarrassed to say it was Xie Jinzhao, "You'll know when you get there. It must be the king's trump card."

Emperor Yongjia would not mind, but all the civil and military officials in the court would mind, especially those civil servants who liked to chatter all day long.

All the civil and military officials above the third rank in the court had come and gathered on both sides of the martial arts arena. In the middle, Emperor Yongjia sat high above, his yellow silk umbrella fluttering in the wind.

Guo Xiao and Xie Jinzhao stood on both sides of the martial arts stage, both of them were using guns.

Emperor Yongjia was also good at spearmanship. When he saw the two people's weapons, he immediately became interested. He turned his head to King Zhuang and asked, "What kind of spearmanship does your wife use?"

"Xie family's Overlord Spear!" said King Zhuang.

Reasonable, unexpected.

Emperor Yongjia nodded and said, "Let's get started!"

Xie Jinzhao, who was dressed as a man, picked up the Overlord Spear. She was like a cheetah in the dark, and her cold temperament suddenly rose.

Guo Xiao didn't know Xie Jinzhao, but seeing that the other party was thin and had a delicate face, which looked very feminine, he couldn't help feeling angry. King Zhuang let such a person fight against him, which was simply a disrespect for him.

He picked up the gun carelessly, and even an outsider could see that he underestimated his enemy.

Lu Changyuan was a little anxious and shouted from outside the court, "Guo Xiao, be careful!"

At this moment, Xie Jinzhao moved. Her pair of dark eyes shone like the sun, her black ponytail flew up in the wind, and she kicked the ground hard with her hind feet. Then she swooped down towards Guo Xiao like a cannonball. Her spear was as fast as lightning, the air waves rolled like tides, and the sound of breaking through the air cut through the sky.

Guo Xiao's eyes widened as a shadow flashed by. He panicked and raised his gun to block. With a clang, sparks flew everywhere. He felt his arms were sore and painful as if they were about to break. He slid back five steps and stopped at the edge of the martial arts stage.

He was almost about to fall off the martial arts stage and lose.

Guo Xiao was covered in cold sweat. Despite being injured, he made a feint towards Xie Jinzhao, then rolled over and landed behind Xie Jinzhao, then slapped Xie Jinzhao on the back.

Before the palm wind hit him, Xie Jinzhao's body was agile and he twisted at an incredible angle to avoid the palm. Guo Xiao took the opportunity to dodge, and the two finally got to a close distance.

Guo Xiao then breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were extremely solemn. Yun Qingxiao at this moment could be said to be the strongest opponent he had ever met in his life.

After wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, Guo Xiao attacked again with his spear raised.

On the martial arts stage, two spears flashed with light and shadow, and in the blink of an eye, more than thirty moves had been exchanged. Then, two figures jumped up from the ground at the same time, each waving a spear and attacking the other.

A crisp sound.

Xie Jinzhao landed steadily, while Guo Xiao's figure was pulled far away in the air and once again hung on the edge of the martial arts stage, his body trembling slightly.

After the sound faded away, Guo Xiao took two steps forward with his spear, half of his body leaning on the spear, and there was an uproar in the crowd.

The outcome has been decided.

His heart was beating like a drum, Lu Changyuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he swallowed hard. He never dreamed that Xie Jinzhao's marksmanship was so superb and his skills were so profound and unfathomable.

She should have been his wife, a virtuous wife who could go to the battlefield, work in the hall, and help in the kitchen, but she became the princess of King Zhuang.

A mouthful of old blood blocked my throat, and a fishy-sweet taste spread to my mouth.

"Father, Yun Qingxiao is so brave!" The prince was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

Emperor Yongjia was warlike, skilled in archery and horse riding, and very powerful. He nodded, staring at Xie Jinzhao with a cautious and focused gaze, "The Overlord Spear is very powerful in her hands, it's really not simple. It seems that my move of granting marriage was correct."

It is worth it no matter what means are used to keep such a person in the Northern Qi royal family.

However, such a person is simply a disaster for Lu Changyuan's side.

"Still fighting?"

With her long hair flying, Xie Jinzhao slowly approached Lu Changyuan. Her eyes were also solemn, which showed her respect for her opponent, but her voice was cold and ruthless, "If you don't admit defeat, I may not be able to deal a heavy blow if I attack again."

She smiled faintly, her eyebrows raised, "Because I hate people who overestimate their own abilities, and I don't like opponents who keep pestering me."

Guo Xiao had never lost so badly before. He knew that if he admitted defeat today and stepped down from the stage, he would no longer have any prestige in the army.

"Then let me die under your gun!" Guo Xiao's eyes showed the courage to face death without fear, but also the unwillingness and helplessness, "But before you die, tell me your real name!"

He gripped the spear tightly and attacked Xie Jinzhao with all his remaining strength.

Xie Jinzhao stood still, her star-like eyes shining, her black robe fluttering in the wind, she looked handsome and evil. She took a step to the side, stretched out her bow stance, held the gun with both hands and swung it horizontally, and Guo Xiao's body flew out like a kite with a broken string.

Xie Jinzhao stepped forward and pointed his spear. A man flew onto the stage and stood in front of Guo Xiao.
