On both sides outside the city, Yu Luo's cavalry, who had been lying in ambush, pierced the enemy's flanks like two sharp knives.
The Peacock Kingdom's army suffered a crushing defeat, losing everything in their path. The remaining soldiers were chased and killed by the soldiers of Liucheng for more than ten miles.
Tula himself was also shot in the thigh by a stray arrow amidst the chaos of battle and fled in a sorry state.
…
In Liucheng, in the dungeon of the General's Mansion.
Eunuch Wei was holding a chicken leg, and he and Eunuch Chen, who had just woken up, were weeping together.
"Waaaaah, I thought I was going to die this time..."
"That's right, those people looked like they wanted to eat people, waaaaah..."
"Don't cry. Here, try this freshly delivered osmanthus wine to calm your nerves."
"Good wine, and the meat is stewed until it's really tender..."
The dungeon door was pushed open.
Yu Luo walked in slowly, a warm smile on her face.
The two fathers-in-law were so frightened that they dropped the chicken legs and wine glasses they were holding to the ground.
Yu Luo walked up to Eunuch Wei and personally helped him up.
"Eunuch Wei, you've been frightened."
"No, don't be alarmed..." Eunuch Wei was so frightened that his teeth were chattering.
Yu Luo's smile became even gentler.
She gently placed the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table in front of Eunuch Wei.
"There is something I would like to trouble you with, Father-in-law."
"Please, Eunuch Chen and the newly arrived Eunuch Chen, together write a letter to His Majesty."
Yu Luo's voice was as soft as a feather.
"Just say, everything is going well."
"The traitor Jiang Hongying has been successfully captured by you, Father-in-law!"
The meat in Eunuch Chen's mouth fell to the ground in shock.
Holy crap, they're actually planning a rebellion!
…
Yu Luo moved incredibly fast. While the new emperor was receiving the secret message and laughing heartily, she had already led a group of soldiers on their way.
They sped along at breakneck speed, and the old men in front almost threw up.
Fortunately, these people were still useful, so Yu Luo didn't make things difficult for them.
Before long, the city of Yan was in sight.
The official in charge of escorting the people over there was practically strutting around with his nose in the air.
"A mere woman dares to dream of leading an army of 300,000? Now look what's happened! She's incurred the wrath of the new emperor. Let's see how she turns the tables!"
Yu Luo said calmly, "Then you don't need to worry about it!"
The official was furious and wanted to say something more, but was quickly stopped by several eunuchs.
These eunuchs were all favorites of the new emperor, and the official didn't want to offend them, so he just snorted coldly.
After the man left, Eunuch Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Thank goodness nothing serious happened!"
There are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed outside. If anything goes wrong, those few will be finished!
