"Stop! Stop!... Ai He is a remnant of the Xiao family, don't listen to him... Damn it!" Before Cao Jie could finish shouting those words, he was almost hit by a weapon from a Nanyan cavalryman.

It has to be said that Cao Jie made a mistake: those Nanyan soldiers under Wei Mu knew nothing about the "remnants of the Xiao family", so his words were far less serious than Ai He's words of "the Junshui army rebelled".

Although some soldiers in the Nanyan Army were confused and did not understand why the Junshui Army wanted to rebel, they naturally had to obey the orders of Lieutenant General Ai He when the general did not show up.

It has to be said that with their excellent weapons, the Junshui Army was still able to block the large Yangwu Army, but when facing the Nanyan Army whose weapons and equipment were not inferior to theirs, the situation of the Junshui Army became very unfavorable.

, to the point of retreating steadily.

Seeing this, Ai He didn't care to fight with Cao Jie and shouted loudly: "Yangwu Army and Nanyan Army listen to the order and follow me into the palace to protect your majesty!"

This sentence was more effective than anything else, so that the Yangwu army immediately turned to the Nanyan army and launched a fierce attack on the Junshui army.

But when the officers and soldiers of the Junshui Army heard these words, they were all at a loss: Isn't the other party a rebel?

Due to the disparity in strength, Cao Jie watched helplessly as Ai He led the Nanyan Army and Yangwu Army to the palace. He could only shout towards the palace wall: "Immediately report to your Majesty that the Nanyan Army is rebelling!"

The two camps each believed that the other was rebellious, so the situation was extremely chaotic.

After a while, the news reached the main hall of the middle palace. Even though Emperor Yi Zhao Yuanli had just faced Zhao Yuanli's move to force the palace, Emperor Wei Zhao Yuansi was still as stable as a mountain. After hearing the news of the "Nan Yan Army's rebellion", he became a little restless.

He scolded King Yi Zhao Yuanli in a deep voice: "Lao Liu, even now, are you still stubborn?"

"Xiao Luan..."

The scenes when he got acquainted with Xiao Luan flashed through the mind of King Yi Zhao Yuanli, and he recalled the frivolous, cunning and witty Crown Prince of Nan Yan.

After a long time, he raised his right hand and waved, signaling the nightingales to let go of the guests they were holding hostage.

"Where's the antidote?" Emperor Wei asked.

Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli shook his head and said: "There is no need for an antidote. This anesthetic will dissipate on its own after a while..."

After hearing this, Emperor Wei's face brightened slightly.

After all, this incident once again proved that King Yi Zhao Yuanli did not intend to cause trouble.

But when he thought of this brother being used by Xiao Luan, Emperor Wei became angry.

At this time, seeing the hostages released by Nightingale in the palace, the Imperial Guards outside the palace quickly rushed in and captured all the Nightingales, including the Yinger and Queer sisters beside Zhao Hongrun.

And just when these imperial guards were about to capture King Yi Zhao Yuanli, they saw Emperor Wei's eyes widen and he shouted: "Can't you tell which is more serious? Why don't you quickly go and help the dredging army to quell the rebellion? Go quickly!"

Everyone go!...Jin Ju!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Jin Ju, the commander of the Imperial Guard, cupped his fists and accepted the order, then turned around and waved his hand and said, "Prisonary Guard, follow me to attack!"

As a result, all the Imperial Guards rushed out of the palace again to assist the Jun Shui Army in putting down the rebellion.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Li Zheng, who had gradually recovered from his physical paralysis, walked to Emperor Wei and whispered: "The Nanyan Army also rebels, and the Dredging Army may not be able to resist for long..."

Hearing this, many guests in the palace couldn't help but whisper and looked panicked.

Seeing this, Emperor Wei said calmly: "What are you afraid of? There are still thousands of men in the palace, can't you guard a middle palace?"

After saying that, Emperor Wei looked around and said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, I want to personally go into battle and kill the rebels. Are you willing to follow me?"

After hearing this, Zong Zheng Zhao Yuanyan, Chengling King Zhao Shen, Anping Marquis Zhao Tan and other children of the Ji Zhao family took the lead in standing up and calling in response: "I will defend your Majesty to the death!"

Immediately, the other nobles in the palace, regardless of whether they were frightened or uneasy, were forced by the situation and stood up one after another.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun stood up and said to Emperor Wei: "Father, I still have fifty Suwang guards and more than a hundred Qingya people. Let me go and gather everyone."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Sixth Prince Zhao Yuanli again and again, feeling very complicated.

After hearing Zhao Hongrun's words, Emperor Wei turned his head and glanced at his son.

To be fair, he did not want Zhao Hongrun, a junior, to interfere in his grudges with Xiao Luan. After all, they were grudges of the previous generation.

This is a father's self-respect.

But judging from the current situation, any force is rare and valuable, not to mention that this son is an outstanding commander.

So he nodded and said, "Well, go ahead and take care of all the matters on your own during the period."

"yes!"

Zhao Hongrun bowed his hand, leaving several clan guards to protect Princess Yulong and Oona. He only took Wei Jiao, others and Mi Jiang and walked quickly towards the palace gate.

When passing by Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but pause and take another look at the Sixth Uncle. He had too many things to say to this Sixth Uncle, but right now, it seemed that it was not the right time.

"Walk."

After whispering to Mi Jiang, Zong Wei and others, Zhao Hongrun walked out of the hall.

This made Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli even more disappointed. After all, Zhao Hongrun had just stopped and hesitated to speak, and he had actually seen it.

"Father..."

Sisters Ying'er and Que'er seemed to sense the loss and confusion in Zhao Yuanli's heart, and walked to the latter's side to comfort him softly.

Feeling the concern of the two sisters, Zhao Yuanli nodded slightly, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Ying'er, Que'er, go help him."

"Yes, foster father." Ying'er nodded and left with Que'er and the other nightingales in the hall.

Emperor Wei did not stop the nightingales from leaving. After all, he could distinguish who was the real enemy. As for the sixth child, Zhao Yuanli, he was just a sad man who was deceived by his old love.

As if he had not seen King Yi Zhao Yuanli, Emperor Wei entrusted Concubine Shen Shu and Wu Guifei to Zhao Hongxuan for their protection, and took Li Zheng, Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Shen, Zhao Tan and many nobles to the outside of the central palace.

Waiting for the rebel forces to arrive.

The battle situation after that did not improve much. Even the Junshui Army faced the double attacks of the Yangwu Army and the Nanyan Army and retreated steadily due to numerical disadvantage. Seeing this, Li Qi, the deputy general of the Junshui Army,

He made a decisive decision to abandon other palaces and defend the central palace.

At this time, in the open space in front of the middle palace, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun had gathered Su Wang's guards and the Qingya people, and used some furniture from the nearby palace to build a simple defense line.

As more and more Junshui soldiers retreated, Zhao Hongrun shouted loudly: "The Junshui army obeyed the order, and now I, Zhao Run, will take over the command!"

Lieutenant General Li Qi of the Dredging Navy had no objection to His Highness Prince Su's attempt to seize power. After all, Prince Su's Zhao Hongrun's talent in marching and fighting was obvious to all.

With Li Ji's active cooperation, the Jun Shui Army reorganized their formation in front of the Central Palace.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun had also ordered Su Wangwei to set up the few sniper crossbows in some wooden cabinets.

It has to be said that even Zhao Hongrun feels that the situation at this moment is extremely difficult. If there were 10,000 King Su troops around him at this moment... No, even if there were 5,000 fully armed King Su troops, the situation would not be so passive.

Although the Dredging Army is also an elite force, it has to be said that this army is indeed not as brave as the battle-hardened King Su Army. After all, the King Su Army can be said to be a sharp army honed on the battlefield.

"His Royal Highness King Su."

The President of the Three Guards Army led Li Zheng here.

"General Li." Zhao Hongrun nodded towards Li Zheng, then turned back and glanced at Emperor Wei and many nobles in the palace corridor.

It is undeniable that Emperor Wei's approach of personally going into battle really boosted morale, but Zhao Hongrun was not optimistic about its actual effectiveness - even if a group of people who usually enjoy themselves have some so-called swordsmanship, can they be compared with soldiers?

Even more terrible people, even if one of these people dies, it is not worth it.

"General Li, please tell me everything. Does your father have any backup plans?" Zhao Hongrun asked in a low voice. He didn't believe that his father was unprepared.

Hearing this, Li Zheng smiled bitterly, because the Nanyan army participating in the rebellion at this moment was originally one of the last moves of Emperor Wei.

"For today's plan..." Li Zheng whispered a few words to Zhao Hongrun, who sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed.

After a while, the rebels arrived, but because Zhao Hongrun had reorganized his formation in the Zhonggong Palace, the rebels were temporarily unable to break through.

However, at this moment, several Green Crows who had gone to inquire about the battle situation returned to the central palace and shouted loudly: "The Second Army of the North! The Second Army of the North has entered the palace!"

"What?!"

Zhao Hongrun's complexion suddenly changed, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.

At this time, Emperor Wei also had a gloomy face. He turned back suddenly and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the King of Nanliang?"

Everyone nearby looked at each other in confusion, and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, could not be seen on either side.

Seeing this, Emperor Wei's face became even more ugly.

However, at this moment, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, was seen slowly walking out of the central palace hall, and asked with a half-smile but not a smile: "I heard your majesty's summons, what are your orders?"

"..."

Emperor Wei was stunned.

The Second Army of the North invaded the Zhongyang Palace, but Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Southern Liang, still appeared in front of him alone. This illustrates one thing - the position of Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Southern Liang.

"Are you surprised?" As if he could see the shock in Emperor Wei's heart, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, said calmly: "The experience of standing in the wrong team is enough once. How many seventeen years can there be in a life? Right?...

I will put down this rebellion, my lord."

After hearing this, Emperor Wei's expression became extremely exciting: Lao Liu, whom he trusted the most, betrayed him this time, while Lao San, whom he had always suspected and feared, gave up the God-given opportunity to take revenge for what happened back then and chose to side with him.

This way.

"Xiao Luan betrayed Yuan Ren, and you betrayed Xiao Luan...?"

Emperor Wei took a deep look at Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Southern Liang.

He has never understood this Third Prince Brother, but he is certain of one thing.
