Crossing the Nongmen: The Space of Doctor Women is on fire!

Chapter 510 Forcing Through the City Gate

Chapter 510 Forcing Through the City Gate
Qi Lang led his horse to the city gate, which was tightly closed. Seeing Yang Jinfan and his men lined up outside, he knew that the news in the city was not unfounded.

His Majesty ultimately began to doubt His Highness.

Yang Jinfan sat calmly on his horse, his round eyes watching every move on the city wall.

"General, why don't we open the city gates? His Majesty hasn't ordered the interception of the Princess's entourage. If His Majesty finds out we're doing this, it's a capital offense!"

The deputy general beside the general looked worried, his gaze fixed on the ethereal maiden sitting steadily on her horse below the city wall. The maiden was upright and composed, showing no sign of panic.

As the saying goes, if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. If the princess and her comrades truly harbored rebellious intentions, they probably wouldn't be so calm and collected. Besides, the returning troops should be welcomed according to etiquette.

"What's there to be afraid of? The news of the Princess's treason is all over the capital. Who isn't waiting to see them make a fool of themselves? The Emperor hasn't said anything about intercepting them, but he hasn't issued any decree to welcome them either. What does that mean? It means the Emperor is suspicious. As long as we follow our master's wishes, promotion and wealth are just around the corner!"

The fat general patted his greasy belly, feeling that he hadn't eaten enough that morning. He figured he could still go into the city later to get some wine. As for the troops outside the city, they were just expendable pawns. If someone in the court wanted to target them, they could only accept their bad luck.

The lieutenant still felt it was inappropriate and was about to offer some advice when he looked up and met a warning look in her eyes, causing him to swallow back the words he was about to say.

Forget it, it's a battle between gods, why should a nobody like him rush in to join in?
The two teams remained deadlocked. Feng Yiyao was furious and cursed Emperor Jingde countless times in his heart. He said that Emperor Jingde was unreliable, and only his junior sister was patient and willing to wait!

"What, you don't want to welcome the Princess and Lord Qi's entourage, and you don't even respect me, a prince?"

Feng Yiyao had his guards push him to the city gate. The general on the city wall visibly changed his expression, subconsciously glancing at the person hiding in the shadows, his courage inexplicably swelling.

"How dare I stop the Sixth Prince from returning to the capital? However, there is an order from above that the city gates will not be open to the public today."

"If it's not open to the public today, what about tomorrow?"

"No, we won't open it. We'll only open it when His Majesty gives the order!"

"you……"

Just as Feng Yiyao was about to lose his temper, Yang Jinfan gave him a look, and the army fell silent again. Everyone was fully armed and waiting, and the expressions of those hiding in the shadows gradually became serious.

What kind of trick is this princess up to now?
"General, I don't know whose orders you're following. If I find out that it wasn't the Emperor's orders, but rather the orders of some petty people trying to create a fuss, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Yang Jinfan raised his delicate chin, and although he was sitting on horseback looking up at the city wall, he exuded an air of disdain for others.

The general was startled, a look of panic flashing in his eyes. How did she know?

Could it be...? Impossible! They said there was absolutely no possibility of the news leaking out. It must have been the eldest princess who said it to scare him!
"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me. I was just following orders. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me!"

He spoke respectfully, but his face showed no respect whatsoever; his attitude was extremely arrogant, which infuriated people.

Yang Jinfan chuckled, waved his hand in the air, and before anyone could react, a silver needle imbued with internal energy shot through the air, piercing straight towards the person hiding in the shadows. "Ah!"

A scream rang out, and a person dressed in night clothes and wearing a veiled hat fell to the ground from the shadows. The general, as if facing a formidable enemy, shouted, "Be on guard! Be on guard! There's an assassin! The eldest princess is about to rebel!"

Before the words "rebellion" had even finished, a silver needle was plunged into his mouth and pierced through the back of his neck. The general's incredulous gaze remained on his face as his entire body fell backward.

"General!"

The lieutenant roared and instinctively reached out to help, but the person sitting on the horse had already come to his side and restrained his arm.

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned for a long time. By the time they reacted, the archers on the city wall had already fired a volley of arrows. Less than a third of the troops below the city gate had protective shields, while the remaining two-thirds of the soldiers had nowhere to hide and could only grip their swords and spears tightly, staring intently at the direction from which the arrows were flying.

At the critical moment, a powerful resistance erupted at the city gate, halting the rain of arrows in mid-air. Soon after, the arrows fell from the sky as if they had lost their momentum. The soldiers below the city gate were so shocked by this bizarre scene that they could not close their mouths wide open.

How is this going?

Is there really a god helping them?

Feng Yiyao, in his wheelchair, slowly tightened his grip, his eyes fixed on the petite yet resolute figure on the city wall. He couldn't believe that his junior sister's strength had reached such a terrifying level. It turned out that every time they sparred before, his junior sister had been deliberately controlling her strength and letting him win.

"What are you standing there for? Help!"

The warning sound pulled Feng Yiyao back to his senses from shock. He blankly uttered an "oh," and used his internal energy to propel the wheelchair forward. His hand, hidden under his sleeve, slowly extended, assuming a normal and unsuspecting posture while secretly channeling internal energy upwards for support.

With the help of Feng Yiyao and the hidden guards, Yang Jinfan was finally able to free up one hand to fight his way into the city, leaving the remaining people to clean up the mess in the battle on the city wall.

The people in the city had long since kept their distance. They were just ordinary folks who wouldn't risk their lives for such curiosity. Yang Jinfan used her lightness skill to pass through the busiest street. There were only a few people on the street, and she didn't shy away from the stares she received. Today was her day to return to the capital to meet the emperor, and the fact that she knew kung fu had already spread throughout the capital. There was no need to hide it.

Instead, she should openly let everyone know that she, Yang Jinfan—the First Princess of Beifeng Kingdom—is not only a skilled physician but also possesses martial arts skills that most people can only dream of. Before some people scheme to harm her, they should first consider whether they can withstand the power of retribution later.

She arrived at the outskirts of the imperial city without any hindrance. Three thousand imperial guards surrounded the area tightly. Instead of their usual respect, they were very wary of her. As she walked through the city gate with her head held high, she was unsurprisingly blocked from entering.

“Your Highness, the Emperor has decreed that you may not enter without being summoned. You are of noble status and exceptional talent. We urge Your Highness to obey the decree and return to the Princess’s residence. Please do not make things difficult for us.”

The speaker was Xiang Shan, the leader of the Imperial Guards. She had met him several times and he was considered a favorite of Emperor Jingde. He was a good person, respectful to her but not overly familiar. He had a righteous face and a good destiny, so there was no reason for him to lie to her.

"Commander, His Majesty is now being misled by treacherous officials and is favoring wicked men. If I do not go to see him soon, I fear that these treacherous men will gain the upper hand, and then things will be very bad!"

He nodded to the commander: "Your Highness is absolutely right, but His Majesty has given an order, and we dare not disobey. Please forgive us, Your Highness!"

Keep it up, kids, go to bed early!
