Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

After several fierce battles, Tang Zhaozhong gradually figured out the rules of the mysterious woman's swordsmanship and discovered the weaknesses in her moves. He took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce attack, accurately hitting a key point, forcing the mysterious woman to step back several steps.

"It seems that this woman is just so-so!" Anquanhui smiled triumphantly, showing his confidence in victory.

"If we continue like this, we can trap her in a dead end!" Li Maozhen loudly encouraged everyone to fight bravely for survival.

Tang Zhaozhong became more and more courageous in the battle, making good use of the swordsmanship he learned, intensively and flexibly attacking the weak points of the mysterious woman, forcing her into a desperate situation.

The mysterious woman clearly felt the urgency of her situation, and a trace of confusion and helplessness flashed in her eyes. She knew that she was in a dilemma and the road ahead was worrying.

"Surrender, it will do you no good to continue fighting!" Tang Zhaozhong persuaded in a slow and firm tone.

The mysterious woman was silent for a moment, and finally let go of the sword in her hand and knelt on the ground: "I am willing to surrender to you, let me go."

The security team stepped forward, revealing a trace of pity in their eyes: "Please tell us, why did you suddenly attack us?"

The mysterious woman whispered: "I am a guard of the royal family. I received an assassination order, but in the process of fighting with you, I realized that you are not a bad person, so I chose to surrender."

Tang Zhaozhong and Li Maozhen looked at each other. They understood that this woman was not a real enemy, but was manipulated by unknown forces and went astray.

"I admire your loyalty and selfless dedication to the country. I hope we can join forces to fight against those conspirators!" Tang Zhaozhong stretched out his hand and wanted to embrace her into the guard group.

The mysterious woman took Tang Zhaozhong's hand tremblingly, tears flashing in her eyes: "I will never let anyone hurt the royal family, and I am willing to fight side by side with you."

The mysterious woman stood up tremblingly, with complex emotions in her eyes, as if she was struggling with something in her heart. Tang Zhaozhong, the Security Association and Li Maozhen also stared at her silently, trying to get some clues from her expression.

"What is your name?" Tang Zhaozhong tried to break the deadlock and seek some information.

The mysterious woman was silent for a moment, and finally replied softly: "My name is Yaoyao."

"Yaoyao? This name doesn't sound like the name of a royal guard." The Security Association frowned slightly, and had more questions about her identity in his heart.

"I am not from the royal family, but I have served in the Royal Guard for many years." Yaoyao's voice was choked with a little sob, as if there was an unknown story.

"Then why did you accept the assassination order?" Li Maozhen asked, trying to find the truth of the incident.

Yaoyao's eyes flashed with hesitation, and she whispered: "Because my family was threatened, they wanted me to carry out that mission, otherwise it would be bad for my family."

Tang Zhaozhong took a deep breath, he could feel Yaoyao's inner struggle and pain. "Can we believe your words?" He asked in a serious tone.

Yaoyao raised her head, her eyes firm: "Please believe me, I will never betray you."

Anquan frowned, wondering whether what Yaoyao said was credible. "We need to investigate all this and can't easily believe her." He reminded everyone to stay vigilant.

Li Maozhen stared at Yaoyao silently, and he felt that he saw a trace of helplessness and despair in her eyes. "Maybe she was really forced, we should give her a chance." He suggested.

Tang Zhaozhong pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, we will give you a chance to prove yourself, but if we find anything wrong with you, we will not be soft."

Yaoyao heard this, and a feeling of gratitude surged in her heart. She knew that she had a glimmer of hope. "Thank you, I will try my best to prove my loyalty." She said solemnly.

With the addition of Yaoyao, the atmosphere in the team eased a little, but it was still shrouded in a layer of tension and uneasiness. They understood that the truth of the incident still needed to be slowly revealed, and their actions would determine the direction of the entire situation.

Tang Zhaozhong led everyone to start the investigation. They went deep into the dark and tried to find out the mysterious forces that manipulated Yaoyao. In the process, they experienced a series of thrilling challenges and tests, but they always maintained unity and faith and faced the unknown ahead together.

After some twists and turns, they finally uncovered the truth of the incident and discovered the black hand hidden behind it. Justice finally defeated evil, and Yaoyao also got a chance to be vindicated and reborn.

Finally, they returned to the palace and received the emperor's commendation and reward. Yaoyao also became a member of the Royal Guard Corps, guarding the country's peace and security together with Tang Zhaozhong, the Security Association and Li Maozhen.

The sky gradually darkened, and the tense atmosphere in Fengxiang City was shrouded. Tang Zhaozhong looked at the map solemnly, and Li Maozhen and the Security Association sat on both sides and began to discuss countermeasures intensively.

"We must deploy defensive measures immediately and not let foreign enemies attack the city easily!" Tang Zhaozhong said firmly.

Li Maozhen clenched his fists, his brows revealing a resolute look: "We are fully prepared and will never let them succeed."

The security committee picked up the teacup, drank it in one gulp, and looked determined: "We must defend Fengxiang and protect the dignity of the royal family!"

Just then, a guard hurried in to report: "Ren Chunying summoned the foreign minister Zhu Wen to attack Fengxiang and ask for the emperor."

Tang Zhaozhong and the other two flashed a trace of solemnity on their faces. They understood that this meant the coming of a life-and-death duel.

After a short rest, Li Maozhen said: "We need to formulate a strategy as soon as possible to fight the enemy."

Just as he finished speaking, a soldier hurried over: "Zhu Wen has completed the organization and held a preparatory meeting. The enemy troops outside Fengxiang City have gathered in groups."

Tang Zhaozhong stood up with a firm look: "We have no way out, we can only fight hard."

Then, the three of them began to have a heated discussion and discuss the response plan.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the mansion. The intelligence person hurriedly reported: "Zhu Quanyu, Han Zhu, medical officer Bian Yong, Taoist Zhang Taiyi, Zhu Dali and Luo Feilong and six others formed a group and expressed their opinions: At dawn, lead 200,000 troops to kill the Tang Dynasty!"

After hearing this, the three were silent for a while.

Tang Zhaozhong was the first to break the silence: "They are coming with drums, and we must also bravely meet them!"

Li Maozhen stepped forward, with a flash of determination in his eyes: "When the time comes, we can only fight!"

Anquanhui looked out the window and gritted his teeth: "The enemy is coming, we must not show weakness!"

After a while, the three were ready and walked to the front line of the war. On the city wall, a "unyielding" flag fluttered, and the soldiers were ready, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

It was late at night, and the starry sky was bright. Outside Fengxiang City, flames shot up to the sky, and Zhu Wen's army surged like a flood, as if to swallow everything.
