Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

Chapter 268 Reinforcements

Outside the altar, Xiao Mo knelt on one knee on the ground, supporting herself with a spear, staring fiercely at the man who was three meters away from her.

The other person was breathing heavily, and his injuries were no less than hers.

Because she was soaked in water yesterday, she caught a cold, her body felt a little weak, and her head wasn't very clear.

The person opposite her noticed that she was unwell, and the corners of his blood-stained mouth curled up in smugness.

"General Xiao, we won't meet again."

His voice was a little weak, but even so it couldn't hide the strong sarcasm in his tone.

Xiao Mo stared at him with cloudy eyes, and the strength in her hands was tense to the extreme. When he raised the long sword high to chop it down, she instantly stood up and rushed towards him.

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

Yang Zerui, who was fighting fiercely with the enemy in the distance, saw this scene and his pupils suddenly dilated: "General Xiao!"

This loud shout stopped all the soldiers fighting.

Everyone looked in the direction of Xiao Mo, only to see her covering her right shoulder and slowly kneeling on one knee.

The other person fell straight back and hit the ground without any reaction.

Yang Zerui saw that things were not going as he expected, raised his sword and shouted: "The enemy leader has been defeated, soldiers, let's make a concerted effort and charge!"

The enemy army lost its main body and turned from attack to defense and retreated.

Xiao Mo closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After hearing Yang Zerui's voice, she raised her head slightly and stood up.

Just when she wanted to persuade the enemy to surrender to her, a large number of guards ran out from the inner palace.

Her eyes flashed, and she sighed in her heart that this battle was not easy to fight, when she suddenly heard Xu Renchuan's voice behind her.

Looking back, I saw that Murong Ze and Shen Hanzhou were also there, and they came with their cavalry.

Yang Zerui was holding a sword, and when he heard the sound of horses pedaling behind him, his tense face relaxed instantly.

Seeing Xu Renchuan walking in front, he put away his sword and frowned: "Didn't I tell you to rest?"

"What are you doing here? You won't kill more people if you're here." Xiao Mo walked forward with a bad look on her face.

Xu Renchuan patted his chest and looked at them confidently: "Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine now."

Yang Zerui wanted to say something when he saw two people walking up behind him.

Murong Ze, wearing light blue armor with a white cloak and holding a heavy sword, gives people a sense of awe without even being angry.

He walked to Xu Renchuan's side and glanced at the guards behind Xiao Mo who were in a defensive state.

"Today is such an important day. As a general, how could he be idle?"

"Cousin, you're here." Xiao Mo tilted her head and curled the corners of her mouth politely at him.

Murong Ze gave her a gentle smile, his eyes sweeping over the enemies standing in the front row one by one: "Don't worry, my father has already left the palace."

"Really?" Xiao Mo exclaimed.

Shen Hanzhou stood across from her, and with a faint expression, he helped Murongze add: "This morning at three o'clock in the morning, our people brought the general out from the secret passage.

Otherwise, even if eight thousand cavalrymen were waiting outside the city, General Murong would not dare to lead his troops to aid you so easily."

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Murong Ze.

Murong Ze's eyes flashed with fire as he stared at the enemy as they walked to the front of their group, drew his sword and pointed it at the new enemy leader.

"If I remember correctly, you should be General Xiong Chang?"

The man called General Xiong Chang sat on his horse and stood at the front of the soldiers. He was a little curious about this young general who was half his age.

"who are you?"

"When I was an adult, I had the honor of seeing you recover the lost territory and return to the court. At that time, I admired your bravery and fearlessness and took you as my role model.

But now, your position in my heart seems to have plummeted."

Murong Ze said as he aimed his sword at him.

The other party was stunned by his words, then snorted coldly and raised his sword to prepare to meet the enemy.

"This general never takes you seriously, just a junior. I don't care what position you hold in your heart."

As soon as the words fell, the two men looked at each other with fighting intent in their eyes.

Xiao Mo quickly stepped forward and stopped Murong Ze who was about to take action, and politely curled her lips at Xiong Chang.

"General Xiong Chang, huh? I'd like to ask, do you know the current Crown Prince?"

"Who was I thinking? It turns out to be the famous General Xiao." Xiong Chang laughed sarcastically.

"What do you want to say by asking this question? Do you want me to believe that the emperor died from the crown prince or Concubine Liang?"

He looked at Xiao Mo with a hint of contempt, not giving her a chance to reply.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been so good to you, yet you betray him time and time again. So, can you still be considered a good leader, a good wife, and a good subject?"

Xiao Mo frowned speechlessly, not knowing what to say next.

Xu Renchuan walked quietly to her side, blocking half of her body, and raised his fist at Xiong Chang who was riding on a horse.

"General Xiong Chang, Concubine Liang is ambitious and has poisoned the Emperor. His Royal Highness not only did not stop her, but he also allowed her to do as she pleased. He is truly not a worthy master to whom you and I should be loyal."

This General Xiong Chang was a colleague with whom he had fought when he was young.

But after the war subsided, they were separated and lost contact over time.

Sure enough, Xiong Chang's attitude towards him was much better than that towards Xiao Mo and Murong Ze.

He raised his fist and returned Xu Renchuan's greeting: "Long time no see, General Xu

Even though we've been through life and death together many times, you can't use this to trick me into going along with you, right?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not the kind of person you say he is. He is very sad about the death of the Emperor.

General Xu, you are a loyal and righteous man. You shouldn't listen to the slander of outsiders and rebel against a wise monarch."

Seeing that nothing could be said, Yang Zerui and Shen Hanzhou drew their swords at the same time, walked forward one on the left and one on the right, and protected Xu Renchuan and Xiao Mo.

Murong Ze narrowed his eyes and stopped talking nonsense with him. He raised his arm and the soldiers behind him picked up their weapons and rushed forward.

The battle lasted for an hour, and at the beginning Xiao Mo was at a disadvantage.

But as time went on, the enemy's strength was greatly reduced, and they were defeated and retreated to the Chongsi Gate.

This door is where the emperor usually holds court.

Qi Yue stood on a high building and watched Xiao Mo fight from outside the palace corridor to inside the palace corridor. The emotions in his eyes were ambiguous and difficult to understand.
