I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Therefore, Xiao Yue immediately decided to fight against the evil monk.

Her soldiers were fairly loyal to her, and Xiao Yue didn't need to explain much. They followed her toward the center of Chang'an, until they discovered so many Han Chinese people there.

Finding no one responding to her, Xiao Yue was not annoyed. Instead, she guessed what these people were thinking and added, "I am a princess of the Han Dynasty, with the title Tianxuan. I have come all the way here to fight the traitors, just to drive out the Tartars and restore the orthodoxy of the Central Plains."

Don't worry, now that I'm here, I won't let you be bullied anymore.

Upon hearing that Xiao Yue was a princess of the Han Dynasty, the crowd erupted in excitement.

With Gu Tinglan's groundwork laid, none of these people doubted Xiao Yue's words; only Gu Tinglan felt that it was completely absurd.

She was just saying it casually at the time; who would have thought that her words would come true?

"Princess? Is it really Her Highness the Princess?"

"Has the imperial court already captured Chang'an?"

"..."

Everyone struggled to stand up and excitedly asked Xiao Yue questions. Xiao Yue patiently explained, "I am indeed a princess. I have already conquered Chang'an. You can rest here for now. I need to lead my troops to fight the evil monk. I will come back to settle you all after this is over."

After saying this, Xiao Yue ordered the soldiers to help the weak and powerless people to the side of the road to make way for the army.

During the process, no soldiers bullied the civilians, and their actions were not rude.

It may be a bit slow, but it highlights the care and concern for humanity.

Gu Tinglan watched from the shadows, her face showing worry.

She admired the princess's performance, but judging from her demeanor, she didn't seem to have much of the bearing of an emperor.

Unfortunately, her master, in order to serve the country, put aside the differences between men and women and chose someone who could never become an emperor.

It's such a pity.

It's a pity about this princess.

But it's all fate.

The three stars of Sha Po Lang devoured the Ziwei Emperor Star, but none of them could become the Emperor Star.

They are more like the vanguard of the imperial star. After absorbing the fortune of Ziwei, a new emperor will be born and rule the world once again.

Having learned of Xiao Yue's fate, Gu Tinglan no longer intends to serve in the government.

It seems that her master-disciple relationship with Lu Yuanhua is nearing its end.

Because she knew that even if she told Lu Yuanhua that Xiao Yue could not become the final emperor, Lu Yuanhua would not change his choice.

Therefore, we can only let nature take its course.

Xiao Yue led her troops on a march, and her army, though fierce, possessed the ferocity of tigers and wolves.

We're almost at the very edge of the battle's aftershocks, which means that if we run any further, we might get hit by the aftershocks.

But Xiao Yue's eyes were firm, and she showed no sign of backing down.

On the way, she saw a frail and beautiful woman struggling to move, seemingly injured.

This girl is really pretty.

"Xiao Xuan, take a few men and go take care of that girl, make sure she's not harmed. The rest of you, continue with me."

Xiao Xuan was a personal guard promoted by Xiao Yue. Bestowing surnames upon those brave and loyal soldiers was also a means for her to win people's hearts.

At a single command, five people immediately broke away from the group.

Hua Nianrou escaped with great difficulty, and when she suddenly saw this scene and saw several soldiers coming to find her, her heart tightened.

She had no magical powers, her health was poor, and her martial arts skills were lacking. Now that it was late at night, the poison in her body was flaring up. The only reason she could run away standing up was because of her strong willpower. She was no longer capable of fighting the enemy.

She had previously risked her life, but now she didn't want to die.

But she didn't want to be humiliated, so at that moment, she could only clench the hairpin hidden in her sleeve.

However, she was overthinking it.

When Xiao Xuan and the others were still ten steps away from Hua Nianrou, they spoke first: "Miss, don't be afraid. We are here on the orders of Princess Tianxuan to protect you. We are a Han Chinese army and will not harm Han Chinese."

"If you don't believe me, young lady, we won't come within ten steps of you. If you encounter any danger, please shout for help."

Hua Nianrou: "..."

Princess Tianxuan?

Was it the person who glanced at her just now?

She is such a good person.

Hua Nianrou understood Xiao Yue's meaning. Although she felt icy cold all over, she felt a long-lost warmth in her heart.

Are these the compatriots Master spoke of?

Chapter 393 Can I Hug You?

After leaving his personal guards to take care of Hua Nianrou, Xiao Yue continued riding forward.

This time, she encountered a Taoist priest and a Confucian scholar, who were sitting on the ground, looking extremely tired, without any regard for their appearance.

This place was already within the reach of the aftershocks of the battle, and these two elderly people were likely survivors of the aftershocks.

Xiao Yue then ordered several people to take the two old people out to prevent any further aftershocks of the battle, as the two old people were already too weak to walk.

Since the Han Dynasty, respecting and honoring the elderly has been a tradition written into the law, and over the years, it has become ingrained in the blood of the Han people.

Xiao Yue's action was merely a casual remark.

"Young lady, you seem to be in a hurry. What brings you here?"

Xiao Yue was surprised that the scholar would suddenly ask her a question, but she didn't stop and replied, "To subdue the evil monk and rid the people of harm."

"Then you don't need to go, the evil monk is already dead."

Xiao Yue: "..."

Only then did she realize that this Confucian scholar and Taoist priest seemed to have some background. She quickly ordered a halt to the advance, turned her horse around, dismounted, and asked, "Old sir, is what you say true?"

"Of course it's true. I'm not old and my eyes aren't failing me. That big hand just now was the demonic monk's final blow. I just wonder how that young man is doing now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It was naturally a good thing that the formidable enemy had been dealt with.

Otherwise, if her elite troops were to go and fight the evil monk to the death, who knows how many would be killed or injured.

However, since the old man mentioned a young man who had fought with the demonic monk, Xiao Yue felt that she should go and check on him, both morally and logically.

If someone is injured, she can provide medical treatment; if someone dies, she can help collect the body.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir. I will lead a team to check it out right away."

Now that the war is over, she doesn't need to lead so many troops on the march, and she can let them rest for a while.

Seeing Xiao Yue's behavior, Lu Yuanhua was even more pleased.

She possesses a strong sense of righteousness and responsibility, is compassionate towards the people, and respects elders. Although she is a woman, she is no less capable than any man.

His ability to lead troops into Chang'an at this time is truly admirable.

Although this woman does not possess much of the aura of an emperor, the outcome is still uncertain, and who knows who will win?

Even though he knew Xiao Yue's identity, Lu Yuanhua still stood up, dusted himself off, and said with a smile, "General, if you have something to attend to, please leave first. Tomorrow, an old friend and I will be waiting for you at the Green Bamboo Study. We hope you will do us the honor of coming."

Xiao Yue: "..."

She inwardly rejected such invitations from literati and scholars.

But once she arrived in Chang'an, she could no longer be a bandit. It would be a good thing to be able to interact with the local scholars. She immediately agreed, saying, "I will go to find you after this matter is settled."

After making the agreement, Xiao Yue set off again. This time, she only took five hundred cavalrymen with her, while the remaining infantrymen were sent back to maintain order and treat civilians.

Taking Chang'an is only the first step; ruling Chang'an in a short period of time is the second step. To rule Chang'an, it is necessary to maintain its stability.

Right now, the most important thing is to deal with the most dangerous factors in the city.

"careful!"

As Xiao Yue was deep in thought, his subordinates suddenly spoke up in warning.

Ahead, they saw a monk carrying a cat in his arms, walking very fast. In just a few more breaths, he would be right in front of them.

Lu Yuanhua said the evil monk was dead, but now another monk has appeared. Could it be that he was mistaken?

They only have so few people now, so they can't help but be nervous.

However, after staring at the monk for a while, Xiao Yue suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Master!"

Lin Yi also saw this group of people. He didn't want to provoke them, but upon closer inspection, he realized that they were his apprentices whom he had recently taken in.

It was truly unexpected that they would meet again in Chang'an so soon.

Since we're already here, let's meet him and find out how he's doing.

However, after the two met, Xiao Yue's feelings were somewhat complicated.

She looked at her master's bald head and felt a pang of sadness.

My master is actually a monk?

Then wouldn't she be...?

cough cough.

Even if you weren't a monk, you wouldn't have the chance.

A master is a master; how could she have such thoughts of betraying her master and ancestors?

only……

Never mind, it's nothing.

"Master, what are you doing here? Were you the one who attacked in Chang'an just now?"

Xiao Yue looked Lin Yi up and down with concern, worried that he might be injured.

Lin Yi's hair was the most severely injured part of his body, but it didn't matter. Once the seal was broken and he activated his spiritual power, his hair would grow back quickly.

Hair growth spell is just a very ordinary wood-type spell. It's just that he can't cast it right now, otherwise things wouldn't be like this.
