Chapter 86 Thinking about it, even Ci Xin felt quite sad for them.

On the mountaintop platform, a fierce battle raged.

Because Xiao Xi'er had preemptively drugged many of them, most were now weak and feeble.

Even with hundreds of people in this line-up, it was useless. Master Ci Xin's skills were truly invincible, and he could handle all these rebels without the Emperor needing to lift a finger.

"Ahhhh!"

People were continuously thrown off the cliff. Those who cowered and whimpered were beaten up and then left aside; those who remained stubborn and fought to the death were the ones thrown off the cliff.

"Seeking death? This Imperial Tutor will send you on your way!" Ci Xin coldly shouted.

"Little Azure Dragon's scales have already been removed, so he no longer needs to endure the thunder calamity. That's good; killing won't affect him anymore!" Ruo Xi stretched lazily, thinking.

Xiao Yin gently patted the swaddled bundle, watching as Ci Xin and Yuan Hui gradually approached.

A smile crept onto his lips. He looked down at the little bundle in his arms and said, "Xi'er, look. We can recruit a great general this time. You really are Uncle's lucky charm!"

"Of course, I never make mistakes when judging people. Besides, historical records don't lie!"

"Uncle, you need to work hard. Suddenly, I don't want to just lie around for three years. If I can live a carefree life forever, being a wealthy little princess would be wonderful!"

Xiao Yin did not respond to his niece, but since the day she was born, he had thought the same thing.

Yue'er had changed her mind, Xiao Xi'er was so clever, and Lin'er was also beautiful and obedient. He would spare no effort to protect them.

Down below, Baiyu led his men up the mountain.

Xiaoyao was among them, rushing straight toward the Emperor.

"Your Majesty!" Xiaoyao looked at the swaddled bundle in the Emperor's arms and sighed in relief. "Are you alright?"

"No problem. I told you to wait below, why did you come up?" Xiao Yin asked.

"Baiyu reported that people were screaming and falling off the cliff, turning into pulp. We were worried, so we came up," Xiaoyao explained, then turned to look aside. "General Yuan?"

In the past, Xiaoyao had seen Yuan Hui in the palace.

She had even infiltrated the border camp and almost been enlisted under General Yuan's command. Fortunately, Yuan Hui discovered her quickly and sent her back to the capital.

"Princess!" Yuan Hui also liked this princess very much. He had always dreamed of marrying someone and having a daughter who would grow up to be as adorable as the princess.

But time passed, and half his life was gone, yet he still hadn't found someone to bear him a daughter.

"General Yuan, I'm here to take you with us!" Xiaoyao said.

Back in the camp, after being recognized by General Yuan, they had secretly shared a drink together and chatted quite well.

"Good!" Yuan Hui nodded.

The previous dynasty owed him and his brothers, but he couldn't seek retribution; he could only try to make amends.

Now, the Great Wei Emperor was Xiao Yin, whom he respected deeply. How could he continue to rule the mountain and harm the people?

Moreover, he had come here to uncover the truth, and now that it was revealed, he wouldn't continue to be a bandit on the mountain.

"Hahaha, traitor! Yuan Hui, you betrayed your brothers!" Zhang Ergou shouted at Yuan Hui.

He had been hit by several of Ci Xin's palms and could barely stand. Staggering and holding the iron chain, he gritted his teeth and cursed.

"This iron chain is quite good!" Xiaoyao looked at the chain, her eyes widening instantly. "It's thin and long, yet so resilient. It must be top-notch!"

"Tsk!" Ci Xin's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips. He didn't clarify that both mother and daughter liked this chain, fearing that Xiaoyao might become too proud upon learning how extraordinary her daughter was. He also didn't want Xiaoyao to know that he had been bound by her daughter.

Thinking about it, even Ci Xin felt quite sad for himself!

"In that case, go and seize the chain. Clean it up and give it to Xi'er to play with!" Xiao Yin said.

Xiaoyao turned to look at the swaddled bundle and asked, "Xi'er, do you like this chain? If you do, hum once, and Mother will get it for you!"

"Um~"

Ruo Xi stretched lazily, extending her small hand.

"Hahaha, Xi'er really understands! She responded. Alright, Mother will get it for you!" Before, when Xiaoyao wasn't there, she didn't know her daughter had coveted this chain for a while.

Hearing her daughter's hum, she understood and turned, smiling as she approached Zhang Ergou.

Xiao Yin watched his sister's back, shaking his head with a light laugh. "Xi'er, your mother has finally returned to her old self!"

That mischievous girl who never followed rules, who nearly drove Bai Cangming mad when he first sent her to Cangming Mountain.

"Princess Royal! Do you know that your husband was the mastermind? Your husband is not..." Zhang Ergou watched the Princess Royal slowly approaching, her smile making him tremble. He immediately said.

"Boom!"

Xiao Yin stepped forward and kicked him.

"I'll tell you, he is no longer my husband. Not only that, but he is dead, beyond redemption!" Xiaoyao said coldly.

Yuan Hui took a deep breath.

He had never quite understood why such a clever and adorable princess would fall for Shangguan Jinghong, that pretty boy, and even break ties with the royal family.

Recently, he heard that Shangguan Jinghong was killed by the Emperor and the Princess Royal in Su County, which changed his view of the Emperor.

He trusted this Emperor.

This is an emperor who knows right from wrong, and is both brave and strategic.

When his sister fell in love with that dog of a man, he did not act rashly; he merely controlled Shangguan Jinghong's military power.

Once his sister saw through him, he struck decisively!

This is the kind of spirit and heart a true emperor should have.

"But he is still the father of your child!" Zhang Ergou slowly got up from the ground, his smile sinister.

"These dog teeth should all be knocked out; how can there still be so many left?" Xiaoyao said, stepping forward and kicking Zhang Ergou in the face.

"Pff, ugh!"

Zhang Ergou fell backward, and all the remaining teeth in his mouth dropped out. Blood mixed with the teeth choked him, and his body convulsed several times before he let out a muffled groan and went still.

"Still not dropping your weapons!" Yuan Hui shouted coldly.

"Hmph, we're going to die anyway, might as well fight!" The members of Seven Colors Palace, knowing their sins were grave, having burned, killed, and robbed in the past, charged forward recklessly.
