The atmosphere in the woods suddenly became tense. General Jin's face was twisted with anger, and he waved his hand fiercely: "Zhao Gao, you can't escape today, kill him!"

Following his orders, the well-trained guards roared like wild beasts, drew their swords from their waists, and launched a fierce charge towards Yi Huawei. In the flash of swords and shadows, murderous aura was rising, and the eyes of every guard were filled with murderous intent.

The battle was about to break out. Xiaolan kicked her legs and her body drew a graceful arc in the air and landed in the middle of the guards. Before the guards could react, Xiaolan was like a sword drawn from its sheath. Her movements were accurate and swift, and every attack accurately hit the enemy's vital points.

The guards were completely powerless in the face of this sudden attack. They fell to the ground one after another, screaming. Xiaolan's fighting efficiency was amazing. She seemed to be performing an art. Every move was full of power and beauty.

The battle continued, the sounds of trees being chopped down and swords clashing together, forming a symphony of death.

"Ghost!!"

The terrified shouts echoed in the quiet woods, breaking the peace. A guard's eyes widened, his face full of fear.

He watched helplessly as an arrow flew rapidly towards the heart of the monstrous woman. However, just when he thought that this arrow would definitely succeed, the woman simply raised her hand lightly and placed a finger on the tip of the arrow. Suddenly, sparks flew and the arrow was repelled by the powerful force, but shockingly, the woman's finger was completely unharmed.

This scene made everyone feel deeply terrified. The surviving guards all had terrified expressions on their faces, and their weapons fell to the ground with clanking sounds. They didn't care about these things, they just wanted to escape from this terrible place and this terrible woman.

Looking at the guards fleeing in all directions, Xiaolan stood still and gently raised her hand. The seemingly gentle and delicate hand was now full of power. The five fingers were slightly bent, and a subtle energy gathered on the fingertips. As the command was issued, a dazzling light suddenly lit up on the five slender fingertips.

Lasers burst out from her fingertips, like the light of dawn or a meteor across the night sky. Not only was the speed incredibly fast, but it was also extremely accurate, aiming directly at the backs of the fleeing guards.

The guards who were locked by the lasers panicked, their figures looked so fragile under the laser light. Despair surged in the hearts of the guards, but they could not avoid or resist, and could only watch the lasers pierce through their bodies.

All this happened so fast that General Jin and Queen Tuan, who were standing by, looked at the scene in disbelief. Their eyes could hardly keep up with the speed. They could only see lasers flashing by, lightning-like lasers that instantly illuminated the entire battlefield. The lasers were so fast that when they passed through the air, only a faint sound could be heard, like the chirping of cicadas in autumn.

The guards fell one after another. Their battle-hardened bodies instantly became fragile under the attack of the lasers, like a piece of thin paper. They didn't make a sound, and they didn't even have time to scream. Their lives were taken away in an instant. The guards fell to the ground, motionless, their eyes still wide open, full of fear and disbelief.

Seeing that all the guards were dead, Xiaolan's fingers calmed down again, as if the powerful energy had never appeared. Her eyes were calm, as if everything just now was just an illusion. Xiaolan's face was expressionless, but the bodies of the guards lying on the ground clearly told General Jin and Queen Tuan that it was not an illusion, but a real thing.

General Jin looked at Xiaolan, his body trembling, his voice trembling: "You...are you a human or a ghost?!"

His voice was filled with fear and doubt. This incredible scene made him unable to understand how this woman could do all this. Was she a human? A ghost? A deity? Could it be that Tian Zhen wanted to destroy me and keep my country safe?
"Do not!!!"

General Jin received a laser in response. The moment the dazzling light cut through the air, he stopped involuntarily. The sharp pain on his forehead was like a huge rock falling, causing him to lose his balance instantly. Everything in front of him began to blur along with his consciousness. The originally clear battlefield scene was now only an endless darkness attacking him.

His heart was full of confusion. What kind of power could take his life in an instant?
The last thing he saw was Queen Tuan’s face twisted with grief. Her screams seemed to still echo in his ears, and his consciousness gradually sank into endless darkness.

"You...you are a devil!!"

Queen Tuan looked at Xiaolan in horror, her voice trembling with disbelief and fear. There was a gleam of despair in her eyes, as if she had seen the most terrible thing in the world.

She fell to the ground, holding onto her skirt tightly with both hands, her fingertips turning white from excessive force, and she was in extreme fear. She kept backing away until her back hit the tree behind her, and then she collapsed against the tree trunk weakly.

Xiaolan glanced at the queen, not feeling the queen's fear and despair at all. She turned to look at Yi Huawei, with a hint of awkwardness in her voice: "Lord Zhao, how do we deal with this woman?"

"She is still of some use, let's take her back first."

Looking around, Yi Huawei nodded: "Let's dig a hole and bury them first. They are dead, so let them rest in peace."

Seeing that Xiaolan didn't respond, Yi Huawei slightly widened his eyes:
"Are you waiting for me to take action? Just fire a shot over there and make a hole. Do you think I want to erect a monument and write a biography for them? It's so sunny, they will replenish their energy after a while."

"Oh~, okay!"

Rolling her eyes, Xiaolan responded, nodded, and then opened her mouth.

Queen Tuan opened her eyes wide and watched as a dazzling beam of light came out of Xiaolan's mouth. Then, a deafening roar sounded, as if thunder was crashing down from the sky, shaking her soul.

Under the impact of this powerful energy, a large pit several meters deep was instantly blown out on the ground. The soil around the pit rolled and splashed, forming a huge cloud of dust.

Queen Tuan screamed in fear, but her voice seemed so small in such a huge roar. Her body instantly lost strength, her eyes went dark, and she fainted on the ground.

...............

After taking Queen Tuan to a homestay not far from East Market and instructing Asan to take people to keep a close watch on her, Yi Huawei took Xiaolan back to the palace.

By the way, those court judges had sworn allegiance to Zhao Gao. In this era of keeping one's word, basically, except for the rebellion, other matters could be entrusted to them. Yi Huawei gave them simple and easy-to-remember nicknames: A Da, A Er, and A San.

After returning to the Xianyang Palace, Yi Huawei took Xiaolan with him, armed with a fake ID that looked real enough. He found Yunzhi, the governor of Yongxiang, and completed all the formalities.

After the formalities were completed, Yongxiang Ling took them to the clothing store in the palace to receive several sets of palace maid gowns and dresses of their own.

The palace maids' clothing of this period was still quite gorgeous. There were flowers or gold flakes on the collar of the top, which sparkled faintly. There were lace or embroidery edges on the cuffs. The delicate patterns showed the exquisite craftsmanship. There were velvet or small lace edges on the hem, which made the whole piece of clothing more full and layered. There were two small pleats at the lower waist of the clothing, which made the clothing fit the body better.

The skirts are mostly made of silk or satin, soft in texture, bright in color, and luxurious, with exquisite embroidery patterns. Putting on this dress, Xiaolan looks even more gentle and charming.

"Brother! ...Who is she?"

Xiaoyue, who came out, was stunned when she saw Yi Huawei carefully straightening the wrinkles of Xiaolan's clothes. She suddenly felt a little sour in her heart, as if something that originally belonged to her was about to be snatched away. She looked at Xiaolan with a hint of vigilance.

"Xiao Lan, go boil a kettle of water first. Why are you here? Yu Shu... doesn't the Queen need help somewhere?"

Yi Huawei waved at Xiaolan, did not answer her question, and walked straight into the main room.

"Brother! Can't you just let Master Yi go?"

Gritting her teeth, Xiaoyue hesitated for a while and begged, "Lord Yi is too delicate to endure such torture." "Go find Concubine Li and ask her to beg His Majesty. As long as His Majesty agrees, I will release him immediately."

Yi Huawei waved his hand and looked at Xiaoyue curiously: "He is the same as me now, you still like him? Plato?"

"Love someone...,"

"Okay, okay, forget it, I didn't ask!"

Seeing that she wanted to talk for a long time, Yi Huawei hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt Xiaoyue who looked miserable.
"You can go and see if you want. I've already given orders. The jailers won't stop you. You saw it too. It's not that I didn't give him food. It's that he didn't want to eat. By the way, when you go to see him, tell him something. If he's picky again, he'll only have bran to eat. Anyway, he won't starve to death. I'll tell them not to let you bring anything in anymore."

"Brother..., Lord Yi has been... already like this by you, can't you just let him go?"

Xiaoyue's eyes turned red again and two lines of tears fell.

"How many days have you had a full meal?"

Yi Huawei is not Gao Yao, so he is naturally indifferent and shook his head: "Do you know what the people outside eat now? It's good enough if they have something to eat. He came to jail, not to enjoy himself. Well, if you want to plead for him again, don't come here again."

"Brother, you have changed..."

Seeing Yi Huawei's cold face, Xiao Yue slowly shook her head and asked sadly, "Why?"

"There is no reason. I can only say that people's hearts are mutual."

Yi Huawei said calmly: "I have something to deal with now, you can go back and come back next time when you have thought it over."

"...Okay, Master Zhao, Xiaoyue, can I ask you for one last favor?"

Xiaoyue wiped her tears, held back the bitterness in her heart, and prostrated herself on the ground, pleading, "Did you take the token that Lord Yi gave to Concubine Li? Can you... return it to her?"

"Haha~, you should know what that is."

Turning his head to look around, the cabinets seemed to be turned over. Yi Huawei looked at Xiaoyue deeply, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "You should know that once this thing is back in her hands, she can turn against me at any time and kill me. You are really my good sister! Very good, from today on, you and I are no longer friends, you take care of yourself! Xiaolan, show me out!"

Yi Huawei's last bit of patience was gone for this woman whose mind was full of love affairs. If it weren't for the fact that she was now Yu Shu's maid, Yi Huawei would have asked her to go to the palace today to let her taste the life that a palace maid should live.

"promise!"

Xiaolan walked up to Xiaoyue and made a gesture of invitation.

"Brother! You...I didn't mean that. I didn't want to hurt you...Ah~!"

Listening to Yi Huawei's cold words, Xiao Yue burst into tears, but Yi Huawei had no patience to listen to her explanation. If he really asked her to find the phone and return it to Yu Shu, Yi Huawei could guarantee that Yu Shu, a woman who didn't even keep it overnight, would definitely complain to Ying Zheng. It would be another troublesome matter then.

Xiaolan waved her hand, grabbed Xiaoyue's collar, and lifted her out.

A burst of crying was heard outside the yard. After a long time, there was no movement in the yard and the crying gradually disappeared.

...............

General Xuanyong's Mansion.

The sun shines through the eaves of the ancient city of Xianyang and falls on the mansion of General Meng Tian. This mansion is located in the core area of ​​Xianyang City. Its architectural style is simple and majestic, showing the dignity and majesty of the owner.

In front of the gate, two towering stone lions quietly guard the mansion. The two stone steps in front of the gate lead to the two gates of the mansion. Heavy iron chains are hung on the doors, and huge door knockers are hung on the chains, which look solemn and majestic.

The inner courtyard of the mansion is a spacious courtyard, full of various flowers, plants and trees, with the fragrance of flowers and the flying of bees and butterflies. A stream flows quietly in a corner of the courtyard, and the water is clear. On one side of the courtyard is an exquisite garden, full of various flowers.

In the middle of the courtyard is a hall, where Meng Tian handled military and political affairs. The architectural style of the hall is simple and elegant, and the furnishings inside the hall are simple and grand.

The backyard is a spacious playground, where Meng Tian and his soldiers conduct military training. On the playground, the soldiers are conducting various military trainings intensively. Their shouts and the sound of weapons colliding echo in the playground, forming a spectacular scene. The entire general's mansion is filled with a serious and solemn atmosphere.

"General, Zhao Gao wants to see you!"

A personal guard ran over with a strange look on his face and bowed to report to Meng Tian.

"Zhao Gao?! Why is he here? No!"

Meng Tian frowned, snorted coldly, and waved his hand without thinking.

"General... Zhao Gao said it was about Lord Yi, and also..."

The guard did not turn around and leave. He hesitated for a while and said, "He also said that he would give the general a great deed..."

"Xiaochuan? Let him in...How many people did he bring with him?"

Meng Tian obviously didn't care whether it was a great achievement or not. He and Zhao Gao were already at loggerheads, so it was good enough that he didn't harm him. But since it was related to Yi Xiaochuan, he had to meet him.

"Reporting to the general, Zhao Gao brought a maid here."

The guards looked at Meng Tian and waved, nodded, then turned and walked towards the courtyard.
