Li Cunxiao nodded and agreed.

----

In Bianzhou city.

Zhu Youzhen was lying on the dragon throne very leisurely, while Shi Yao beside him was feeding him fruit.

"Your Majesty, aren't you worried?" Shi Yao said softly.

"The Qi army is invading from the front, and the Jin army is besieging the city from the back..."

"Hey, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid."

Zhu Youzhen swallowed a grape and continued, "With my second brother here, the general of Qi State and Li Cunxu are nothing but chickens and dogs."

"Li Cunxu didn't bring many troops this time, so it would be extremely difficult for him to capture Bianzhou City."

"Besides, I still have a secret weapon that I haven't used yet..."

When Shi Yao heard this, her eyes froze.

She came forward, massaged Zhu Youzhen's head, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the secret weapon you mentioned..."

"Ah——" Shi Yao screamed and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

She knelt on the ground and said, "I deserve to die. I shouldn't ask such a question..."

Zhu Youzhen stood up and helped Shi Yao up, saying with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay! It's okay to tell you."

"It's my invincible general."

"The invincible general?" Shi Yao looked puzzled.

"It is a cannon with extremely amazing power. Just one shell can easily destroy half of the city." (In the second season of the original drama, this cannon destroyed Luzhou City.)

"Hiss, so powerful!" Shi Yao exclaimed.

Zhu Youzhen looked at her lovingly and said softly, "Okay, forget about those trivial matters, let's play a game."

"Oh, Your Majesty, what game?"

Zhu Youwen held Shi Yao's hand and said softly, "Shi Yao, guess whether the number of casualties in the battles between our army and the Jin army was an odd number or an even number?"

Shi Yao smiled and said, "I guess...it's an even number."

"Are you sure it's an even number?" Zhu Youzhen smiled obscenely.

"Slave, you are sure."

"If it's an odd number, be careful that your life is in danger!" Zhu Youwen raised his hand and scratched Shi Yao's nose.

"Zhong Xiaokui, give me the exact number."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaokui presented a piece of paper recording the number of casualties with both hands.

Zhu Youwen took it and glanced at it casually, and suddenly, his eyes widened and his pupils contracted.

Then, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "My eyesight is not good, can you help me see if it is an odd or even number?"

As he spoke, he handed the paper to the minister standing in the audience.

In order to show off, a minister hurriedly stepped forward and took the paper.

He looked down, then smiled flatteringly and said, "Your Majesty, it's an odd number. You win again."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Youzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and murderous intent emerged in his eyes.

Zhong Xiaokui also looked sideways at the minister.

Noticing Zhu Youzhen's expression, the minister smiled ingratiatingly.

Zhu Youzhen ignored him and glanced sideways at Zhong Xiaokui.

"Xiao Kui, tell me!"

Zhong Xiaokui clasped his fists and replied, "Your Majesty, it's an even number!"

"Uh..." The minister was stunned when he heard this and quickly handed the paper to Zhong Xiaokui.

"Master Zhong, you are mistaken. This is clearly..."

Swah——

Zhong Xiaokui's dark water silk shot out instantly and bound the minister's neck.

As the silk thread embedded itself into his flesh, the minister's eyes gradually widened, and then he collapsed to the ground and died.

Beneath him, the white paper recording the number of casualties was also stained with blood.

Zhong Xiaokui retracted the dark water silk, turned around and knelt on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, including this, the number of casualties in our army is double."

"Ha ha--"

Zhu Youzhen laughed heartily.

He turned and looked at Shi Yao, "Oh, you win! Tell me, what do you want? I will grant you everything!"

Shi Yao said softly: "Your Majesty, I want to see your invincible general show his power!"

"Okay, I promise you!"

As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen turned his head and said to Zhong Xiaokui, "Go and prepare, pull out my invincible general, and fire a cannon at the Jin army camp at noon tomorrow!"

"As ordered!"

Zhong Xiaokui clasped his hands together, his gaze lingered on Shi Yao for a moment, then he turned and left.

......

That night.

Li Cunxu ordered his men to extinguish the torches and wrap the horses' hooves with cloth.

At the same time, all soldiers were asked to hold pieces of wood in their mouths and sneak towards Bianzhou City under the cover of night...

At the same time, inside the palace.

After Shi Yao coaxed Zhu Youzhen to sleep, she left the dormitory and prepared to use a carrier pigeon to pass the news of the Invincible General Cannon to Su Qingjue.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Not long ago, the Marshal sent a message, ordering all the bad guys lurking in various forces to obey Su Qingjue's orders.

Shi Yao was surprised by this, but she respected the Marshal's choice.

Therefore, since the Qi State sent troops, she has often passed on internal information of Daliang to Su Qingjue.

It was she who immediately passed on the news that Li Cunxu was attacking Bianzhou to Su Qingjue.

Shi Yao walked towards her residence.

However, when she passed the corridor inside the palace, she found that Zhong Xiaokui was standing not far away, staring at her intently.

"Miss Shi Yao, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Zhong Xiaokui is petite and has a very pleasant voice.

Shi Yao looked normal.

She clasped her hands together on her right side, bowed slightly and said:

"The emperor has gone to bed, and I am preparing to leave."

Having said that, she turned and walked to the side.

Swah——

Zhong Xiaokui's figure flashed and blocked Shi Yao's way.

Shi Yao ignored her and walked straight past her.

"Who are you?" Zhong Xiaokui asked.

Shi Yao stopped and said softly, "Master Zhong, please forgive me for being stupid and not understanding what you mean."

Zhong Xiaokui showed murderous intent on his face.

"Although you deliberately acted as if you were dragging your feet and moving your body lazily, the hostility faintly revealed in your eyes could not be hidden."

"You are good at martial arts, and you are an expert at it."

Zhong Xiaokui slowly walked to Shi Yao's side and stared at her fiercely.

"Master Zhong, I will never..."

Before Shi Yao could finish, Zhong Xiaokui interrupted and said, "From the day you appeared before the emperor, I could see that you have deep inner strength, and your skills are not inferior to mine."

"You are a mid-level expert. What is your purpose in entering the palace disguised as a palace maid?"

As he spoke, Zhong Xiaokui formed a claw with his left hand and stepped back with his right foot, taking a fighting stance.

Shi Yao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that Zhong Xiaokui, who had left Xuanming Sect many years ago, actually became a bodyguard for Zhu Youzhen. I am really surprised."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaokui narrowed his eyes slightly.

A thread of dark water shot out from his palm towards Shi Yao.

......

......

Chapter 102 Bianzhou fell!

The dark water threads came towards Shi Yao in a spiral shape, at an extremely fast speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

There was no panic on Shi Yao's face.

She was calm and composed. She raised her hand and instantly pinched the extremely sharp spike at the front end of the Nether Water Silk with two fingers.

Shi Yao smiled at Zhong Xiaokui, as if to say that it was nothing special.

Zhong Xiaokui became angry and humiliated. She pulled the dark water silk hard, trying to take it back.

Although Shi Yao looks weak, her strength is no less than hers.

The dark water thread between the two people was stretched straight.

The two of them continued to be in a tug-of-war like this for a long time.

suddenly.

Shi Yao suddenly released her strength, and at the same time, she flicked her fingers with her backhand, bouncing the dark water silk back.

Zhong Xiaokui's pupils widened as he watched his weapon coming towards him.

There was no time to dodge, so she could only fall to the side as hard as she could.

Tear it apart!

Blood gushed out of the right shoulder.

Zhong Xiaokui quickly covered his right shoulder with his hand to stop the bleeding.

But because of the pain, she couldn't help frowning.

Shi Yao's mouth curled up.

This was a warning she gave to Zhong Xiaokui.

Now that she has a mission to accomplish, she doesn't want to fall out with Zhong Xiaokui.

Shi Yao said softly: "Master Zhong, you and I should each perform our duties and do our own things."

Zhong Xiaokui looked pale.

After a brief fight, she knew that she was no match for Shi Yao and naturally didn't want to get entangled any further.

Shi Yao continued, "Lord Zhong is very busy every day, and he also serves as the emperor's companion. He is physically tense all day, which causes fatigue in his muscles and bones. He needs to relax his body and mind properly and rest on time."

Her words were a way of giving Zhong Xiaokui some way out.

After all, it would be of no benefit to anyone if the two continued to be deadlocked like this.

And there's one more thing.
