Yu Huatian looked up.

Behind Li Cunxiao was a bloody road with no one on it.

On both sides of the bloody road were soldiers with lingering fear on their faces and terrified eyes.

Li Cunxiao charged into the battle on a fast horse, brandishing the Yuwang Spear and cutting a bloody path like lightning, narrowly saving Yu Huatian.

This sudden situation shocked everyone.

"Brother Yu..."

Yu Huatian was covered in blood and his face was pale. He was seriously injured.

In an instant, murderous intent and anger boiled over, Li Cunxiao's eyes turned cold, and his beard and hair flew wildly.

"How dare a bunch of scoundrels hurt my brothers! I will tear you into pieces!"

Li Cunxiao was furious and his face was ferocious.

After ordering several of his own soldiers to look after Yu Huatian, he waved the Yuwang Spear and rushed into the enemy camp again.

For ordinary soldiers, the Yu Wang Spear, which weighed hundreds of pounds, would kill them if it touched them, and would injure them if it touched them.

Two generals of the imperial guards and a eunuch tried to stop him, but were hacked and smashed by Li Cunxiao, killing all three of them instantly.

The rest of the crowd was frightened by Li Cunxiao's ferocity and no one dared to move forward.

Yu Huatian also secretly sighed at his bravery in his heart, saying that he really deserved the name of Flying Tiger.

Even if I were to fight him at my peak, I'm afraid I would still find it difficult to defeat him.

The brave and powerful Li Cunxiao killed everyone on his horse, turning the tide of the battle in an instant and causing the enemy to be defeated step by step.

Seeing that their leaders had all been killed by him, the remaining enemy troops lost their morale and surrendered one after another.

…

Zhao Xin was still playing chess with Wang Jin.

A young eunuch hurried into the hall, came to Zhao Xin's side, bowed and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhao Xin looked calm and raised his hand to let the young eunuch leave.

One move decides the outcome, Zhao Xin waved his hand with a dull look.

"I'm tired, please go down."

Seeing that the emperor finally agreed to let him go, Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bowed and took his leave.

Now Wang Jin didn't want to stay in the palace any longer, so he hurriedly left the palace and went home.

After Wang Jin left, Zhao Xin was overjoyed and couldn't wait to get up and leave the hall.

"Go to Yong'an Palace!"

Just received a report that Yu Huatian's operation was very successful!

They have taken control of the palace inside and outside and have surrounded Yong'an Palace!

Yu Huatian finished the task much faster than he expected.

Seeing Liu Muzhi coming towards him, Zhao Xin was slightly surprised:

"Mu Zhi, you're back too? How's the general doing?"

Liu Muzhi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, everything is going well."

Zhao Xin's face was filled with joy: "Very good, I knew you wouldn't let me down!

Come with me to Yong'an Palace to meet the Queen Mother!

When you have persuaded the Grand Marshal, come back and tell me in detail."

"yes."

The siege of Yong'an Palace and Liu Mu's trip to the Taiwei Mansion both went smoothly.

This is the most relaxed moment for Zhao Xin since he traveled here.

Although it was only a small step taken successfully, it is a very good start compared to the terrible situation at the beginning where we were surrounded by enemies and isolated without any help.

From a distance, Zhao Xin saw the blood-stained ground and corpses strewn outside the gate of Yong'an Palace.

The smile on his face faded slightly. Although he was still happy in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Huatian and the others were able to complete the task so quickly because of their hard work and struggle...

"One general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers!"

Zhao Xin sighed to Liu Muzhi beside him.

"We must not be stingy with money when it comes to compensation for the fallen soldiers. We must posthumously honor them and give them a lavish burial! I will also generously reward those brave warriors!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Muzhi echoed.

When he reached the gate of Yong'an Palace, Zhao Xin saw several imperial doctors being carried by soldiers.

After the soldiers separated into a group, Zhao Xin saw Yu Huatian covered in blood.

On the chest, there were two hideous bloody scars, the skin was turned inside out, and the bones were almost visible!

The blood dyed the brocade clothes red.

The imperial physician was trembling as he applied medicine powder to him.

When he saw Zhao Xin, Yu Huatian wanted to stand up and salute, but it aroused his wound and a trace of pain appeared on his face.

The smile on Zhao Xin's face gradually disappeared, his brows were furrowed, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were gloomy.

"No need to be so polite!"

Zhao Xin leaned over and held down Yu Huatian, who was about to stand up and salute, and ordered him firmly, "Rest well!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Yu Huatian's eyes moved slightly, but even though he was injured, the seriousness on his face could not be changed.

When Zhao Xin heard Yu Huatian's hoarse and weak voice, his heart seemed to be suddenly pulled.

He turned and looked behind him again.

Those soldiers, whether standing or lying, were all in a mess, with their clothes stained with blood.

Li Cunxiao reported that these were the only soldiers left in this battle, except for those who went out to clean up the spies and guard the back door of Yong'an Palace.

Zhao Xin knew that this operation would inevitably result in bloodshed and sacrifice.

But he didn't expect that the sacrifice would be so great, even Yu Huatian was so seriously injured.

He turned to the imperial physicians and said coldly, "I hope you will do your utmost! If you, my dear Yu, make any mistake, I will bury you with me!"

"My ministers, ministers, etc. obey the order..."

The imperial doctors were still unaware of what had happened in the palace. When they saw the hellish scene in front of Yongle Palace, they were terrified.

Hearing the emperor's words, his legs trembled even more.

The imperial physician who had administered the medicine to Yu Huatian had already bandaged his wound. He turned to Zhao Xin and bowed, saying, "Master Yu has only lost too much blood, and there are no vital injuries!"

When all the imperial doctors heard this, their trembling bodies and trembling hearts stopped immediately.

"Your Majesty! I feel guilty! If it weren't for General Li's timely help..." Yu Huatian stood up tremblingly and knelt to ask for punishment. "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. I have no complaints!"

"Your Majesty, my horse wasn't fast enough. If I had arrived earlier, Brother Yu wouldn't have been injured so badly."

Li Cunxiao also knelt down and said, "Please forgive me for delaying the military operation!"

"What crime have you two committed?!"
