Thinking up to here, Zi Yuan's heart 'thumped' loudly. As if it was a conditioned reflex, a sense of fear arose, and she took the opportunity to bite onto Helian Xuanyin's lips.

"Ugh …"

He let go of Zi Yuan's lips and used his strength to pinch her chin. He pulled her head over and forced her to look him in the eye.

"Yuan, you still hate me? You still hates me because of him!" Helian Xuanyin's voice was icy cold and low, and the strength of his hands continuously increased.

Zi Yuan frowned as she looked at the Helian Xuan Yi, unable to give any response.

She was just a transmigrated soul, so she wasn't clear about the conflict between the crown prince and the real Zi Yuan. Hatred? Do she hate the crown prince? If Zi Yuan hated him, why did she stay by his side and protect him at all costs?

"How important he is to you! How much longer do you want to hate me?!" His ice-green eyes seemed to be on the verge of spitting fire. "Yuan, I told you before that as long as he and I fought on the battlefield, we would definitely do our best to help you … If I hadn't been him, would you still hate me today? "

The more she heard, the more confused she became. However, for some reason, an inexplicable sense of irritation appeared in her heart.

"Your Highness, you …"

"Forget it. How can I question you at a time like this?" Helian Xuan Yi slowly returned to his normal state. He withdrew the frost in his eyes and said, "Yuan'er, I still have to say that you must return to my side alive!"

Zi Yuan nodded and began discussing the details of the operation with Helian Xuan Yi.

The intelligence, composure, confidence, and boldness that Zi Yuan displayed caused Helian Xuanyin to look at her in a new light and sigh repeatedly. He had always known that the Zi Yuan was an extraordinary woman, but before today, the Zi Yuan would only follow the etiquette of a sovereign and follow orders. She had never displayed her strategy or intelligence in front of him, nor would she discuss operational arrangements with him.

Thinking up to here, Helian Xuanyin quietly raised his gaze and once again cast a probing gaze onto Zi Yuan.

Zi Yuan keenly sensed his gaze, intentionally feigning nonchalance. She grabbed the hairpin on the table, tied her black hair into a long ponytail like a waterfall. Then, she quickly walked to the bed and put on the blue leather armor that was stained with blood. She also hid the dagger, dart, silver hairpin and other small defensive weapons at her waist, ankles, and wrists according to the tradition of killers. These things may not be as powerful as a blade or sword, but they could still kill their opponent on the spot!

Dressed in a battle robe, Zi Yuan picked up her longsword and bowed towards Helian Xuan Yi.

"Your Highness, I'm going."

Helian Xuanyi nodded lightly. His green lake-like eyes looked straight into hers, "Yuan'er, I'll wait for your good news."

"Your Highness, don't worry. Zi Yuan will definitely not disappoint you."

Zi Yuan gripped her longsword tightly as her bright black eyes locked onto Helian Xuanyin's handsome face. The corners of her mouth curled into a smile filled with confidence. At this time, she had already shed her feminine charm and added a touch of coldness and handsomeness to her, making her look more valiant.

The moon was dark and the winds were strong. The night was dark.

Zi Yuan nimbly shuttled through the alleys of the capital, successfully dodging the patrols of the city's soldiers as she headed straight for the garrison's tents.

"Don't make a sound!"

Zi Yuan grabbed one of the soldiers and placed a dagger on his neck from behind.

"Speak!" "Who has the key to the gate?"

The soldier trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence. "On... In the hands of a great general. "

"Which one is the general's tent?" Ziyuan continued, "Show me with your finger!"

Trembling, the soldier stretched out his hand and pointed to the tent on the far right. "Right, that's …" Before he could finish his words, Zi Yuan had already used his dagger to cut his throat, taking advantage of Moon Shadow to move outside the garrison general's tent.

She quietly walked into the tent. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in front of her, followed by a sword light. The sharp sword stabbed towards her. She quickly dodged and pulled out her sword to counterattack. Suddenly, sparks flew in all directions as the sword missed its target.

After a few rounds, the Zi Yuan clearly held the upper hand. In order to end the battle quickly, she conveniently threw out a dart, which struck right at her opponent's heart. Humph! After getting rid of the boss, their victory was already in their hands.

Zi Yuan found the key and headed towards the other tents. She had used the same method to kill all of the city guards' generals in the shortest amount of time. There were one hundred soldiers remaining, but they had no leader. As long as she used the Fear Spell and the Heart Attacking Technique, these soldiers would definitely not be a hindrance to the Crown Prince when he left the city.

"Stop!" "Who are you?"

When Zi Yuan swaggered towards the city gate with the key in her hand, the soldiers on duty stopped her.

She didn't even furrow her brows as he pointed his shining long spear at the Zi Yuan. She only curled her lips and swept her sharp and threatening gaze over all the soldiers present.

"Me? I was just ordered to open the gate. " she said slowly.

Startled, the soldiers shouted, "Following orders? On whose orders? Take out your identity card! "

Zi Yuan walked up a few steps and shrugged with a smile. She waved the key two times in her hand and asked indifferently, "Didn't you see it clearly? This was the key to open the city gates! "I don't have a identity card, but I have the key. Why don't you go to the tent and take a look?"

The soldiers naturally recognized the key in Zi Yuan's hands. It was an important matter that the great general had never left behind. If the great general had not handed the key to her, it would have meant …
