The two of them stood on the training field, ready to take action.

Hu Xiao watched as Zhao Qi Yan's fighting spirit was aroused. The fights he had encountered in the past were trivial, but Zhao Qi Yan was the commander of the troop. Hu Xiao was full of energy.

At this moment, Zhao Qiyan was nervously looking at Hu Xiao. Hu Xiao was not a reckless person, and since Hu Xiao dared to challenge him, Zhao Qiyan was also very surprised. However, when Zhao Qiyan recalled the moves he had seen a few times before, he did not dare to relax.

A fierce battle was on the verge of breaking out. Hu Xiao was the first to attack, and once he started to fight, he acted like he was on his own. Zhao Qiyan was stunned for a moment, but then he braced himself for it.

After a few rounds of sparring, Zhao Qiyan had completely retracted his contempt. He was so focused that he didn't dare to be careless anymore.

At this moment, Hu Xiao became more and more valiant as the battle progressed. Zhao Qiyan showed mercy, but Hu Xiao laughed. Zhao Qiyan showed mercy, but he did not show mercy. He adjusted himself to his best condition, and went up to Zhao Qiyan once again.

In the blink of an eye, victory or defeat would come to an end.

"The empress's skills are impressive, I've lost."

Zhao Qiyan laughed. Although he had lost, he was convinced of his defeat.

The surrounding generals were also shocked. They had never seen such an outstanding girl before. They thought that the woman had said that she wanted to challenge their general, but they never thought that the one to lose was their general!

"Is the general willing to admit defeat?"

It had been a long time since he had such a good fight. Hu Xiao was also in an extremely good mood. It seemed that this General Zhao was not an idiot.

Zhao Qiyan was a man of some ability, and was far from being a match for his own scarecrows.

However, Hu Xiaoxiao also knew that he had nearly lost. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhao Qiyan was worried about something, it would be hard to tell who would win today.

"It's hard to follow a single word of mine. Since this general promised esteemed empress just now, he'll do his best to do so. But we don't have to go to the palace. Everything this empress does depends on this general."

Zhao Qiyan was not the type of person who couldn't afford to lose, so naturally he would keep his promise for a long time. Otherwise, how could he have established his might in the military camp?

"That's great. General Zhao, there's no need to address me as Esteemed Empress anymore. I'm following the general right now, so naturally I'll listen to him as well."

"That's good."

Zhao Qiyan was still hesitating on how to address Hu Xiao, but it was too much to call the empress in the barracks. Hu Xiao's suggestion had solved a big problem.

After that, Zhao Qiyan called for servants to bring out two sets of servants for Hu Xiao and Zhilan to change into.

Zhao Qiyan had thought that it would be a mess if a woman wore men's clothing, but when Hu Xiao and Zhilan came out, Zhao Qiyan was stunned.

Only after hearing Hu Xiao's soft cough did she react, "Esteemed empress, we definitely can't let His Majesty know of our actions right now. If you offend us in any way, please forgive us. Let's go."

"Yes."

Hu Xiaoxiao nodded. He didn't have any objections to this, but he had some interest in following behind Zhao Qiyan.

On their way out of the city, they walked through a few remote areas before finally arriving.

This was indeed the most important thing. Without Zhao Qiyan's guidance, they would never have found this place. They wouldn't even have been able to secretly follow him.

"There's a military camp ahead. If you regret it now, you can go back."

Zhao Qiyan looked at the two as they spoke. He wasn't trying to get them to return, but as a woman, it wasn't that messy for her.

"We're already here. General, you can go in."

Zhilan looked at Zhao Qiyan with a strange expression.

Zhao Qiyan felt quite strange. He had already arrived at the entrance of the barracks. How could he go back on his words and leave now that they were already here?

"Then let's go."

Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Zhao Qiyan didn't say anything more.

As the few of them entered the military camp, they saw that every place was bustling with noise and excitement, especially the one in front.

Hearing this, Hu Xiao brought Zhilan over. If he hadn't heard wrongly, that person was probably competing?

Seeing this, Zhao Qiyan also followed along. Seeing that Zhao Qiyan had cleared a path, the little soldier didn't stop to watch the show.

Zhao Qiyan was not surprised. The competition between the generals was authorized by Zhao Qiyan. Only through continuous competition could one improve their abilities and survive on the battlefield.

The few of them looked at the martial arts competition with interest. Hu Xiao could not help but rub his hands together in an attempt to fight it out. Seeing this, Zhao Qiyan quickly stopped Hu Xiao.

Hu Xiaoru came, and if he went in to compete with him, then Zhao Qiyan would be at a loss. If something happened and Qin Shuo found out, then he would be in trouble.

"Forget it, this person's techniques are too flowery. If I were to fight on the battlefield, I would definitely die quickly."

Hu Xiaoxiao smiled when she saw Zhao Qiyan's reaction. She had a sense of propriety, but she was infected by the atmosphere and wanted to take action.

However, if one looked carefully, they would see that that person's technique was too gorgeous and not actually real. Although the match wouldn't take one's life, this kind of fighting style was too sissy, and was not suitable for the battlefield.

Zhao Qiyan listened to him and observed for a while. Sure enough, it was just as he had said.

"Look at how weak that person's hands and feet are. They're only powerful, but he can't even make a move. It's like he's tickling people. Does he have a certain level of status here?"

Hu Xiao said as he looked at Zhao Qiyan.

Zhao Qiyan nodded. Indeed, it was as he had said. One of the contestants was a high-ranking officer.

After hearing Zhao Qiyan's affirmation, Hu Xiaoxiao felt reassured. If that was the case, then even though that person was beating him up badly, it would be extremely difficult for him to avoid Zhao Qiyan's attacks. This would make things difficult for that person.

If he didn't have some status in the barracks, that person would have hit the other person within ten moves.

A soldier standing at the side disdained Hu Xiao's words.

"What do you know? General Li's kung fu is very good. Didn't you see how difficult it was for the other Li Si to dodge?" "You were just brought here by General Zhao. You don't have the skill to stand close to him, but your waist doesn't hurt just by standing there and talking."

Zhao Qiyan was about to reprimand the soldier, but Hu Xiao shook his head and remained silent. He looked at the soldier as if he was looking at an idiot.

When the soldier saw that Zhao Qiyan was not dissatisfied with what he had said, he thought that Zhao Qiyan was the one who had broadened his horizons. However, the lower status Zhao Qiyan had, the more he spoke.

Hu Xiao was disdainful of arguing with such a person. With a glance, he could tell that this person was General Li's supporter. Ah, no, that's not right, he was a brainless fan.
