The sound of horse hooves is like rain, the roar is like thunder, and the blood is like pouring.

"General, we are surrounded." Chen Ze wiped the blood splattered on his face, rode his horse to separate the enemy soldiers and approach Gu Yebei.

"Chen Ze!" Swords flashed, sparks flew, "Go to Tanzhou to find reinforcements."

"General!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!" Gu Yebei slapped Shen Ze's horse's butt with a sword. The green horse raised its hooves and neighed, carrying Shen Ze towards the gap.

"Cover! Kill!" Gu Yebei took the lead, holding up his sword.

Wherever the general's flag points, the army's heart will follow.

"Dad! The main force of Beiying should have been thousands of miles away. Our elite troops launched a secret night attack, but why are they trapped in Huaiyue Valley?" Gu Junwen rushed to Gu Yebei, his body covered in blood and in a miserable state.

"Military intelligence is top secret." Gu Yebei's face turned pale and was covered with a layer of gloom.

“But this is top secret. Only you, Uncle Shen, and Uncle Huo know about it. Even I don’t know about it.”

The wind got stronger, blowing away Gu Yebei's answer. The voice was disembodied, as if floating from the sky: "The military supervisor sent by His Majesty also knows."

The resonance in his ears made Gu Junwen feel numbness in his palms and cold hands and feet.

The art of war says: Do not stay in a desperate situation, plan when in a besieged situation, and fight when in a desperate situation.

Fighting, blood, horns, counterattack, breaking through adversity, the price is life.

I wish to serve my country for the rest of my life, why should I go to Yumen Pass?

The sound of fighting was low and it was an almost suicidal attack. The Beiying soldiers could not understand why the Beiying army, which had reached its end, continued to fight until the hilts of their swords were sticky with blood and too slippery to hold, and still shouted to kill the enemy.

The battle was brutal and there were almost no survivors.

"Jun'er? Hold on, reinforcements are coming." Gu Yebei supported the semi-conscious Gu Junwen, and covered his daughter's abdominal wound tightly with his hand, completely ignoring his own bleeding wound.

"Hahaha, hahaha." Intermittent laughter was heard. It was the Beiying general Nebu who was lying not far away. His abdomen was pierced, and he was in his last moments of life, but he was still laughing wildly.

"What are you laughing at?" Dizzy and dazed, Gu Junwen caught a glimpse of his father's staggering figure walking towards Neb.

"How ridiculous of you! You were fighting desperately at the front, but your Majesty bought you. Otherwise, how could we know your marching route?" Neb's Central Plains dialect had a heavy accent, and it sounded intermittent and difficult to hear.

"You're talking nonsense."

"The letter is in my arms. I was going to show it to you."

The blood-stained letter, the familiar seal, Gu Junwen forced himself to open his eyes and take a look, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, hahahaha!" Neb fell into complete darkness with his crazy laughter.

"Dad, will reinforcements come?"

"Daughter, stay alive. Don't investigate any further. Live well and do your share for your brothers." A large amount of blood was lost, and the voice in my ears became weak.

"They are all dead, all dead. The court has failed my three thousand soldiers, but my three thousand soldiers have done their best for the court. We will defend our territory to the death if we live, and we will be wrapped in our horsehide if we die."

The wild grass is desolate, the crows are flying back and forth. The earth is silent and has no more echoes.

"Your Majesty, I, an old minister, dare to ask Your Majesty to look into this matter." Grand Tutor Han suddenly stood up, ignored the glaring swords, left his seat and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Do you believe what the bastard says?" Emperor Mingde's face was grim.

"Your Majesty, we only seek the truth." Ye Nan took two steps forward and bowed again.

"If I don't obey, are you going to force me to abdicate and rebel?" All the cups, plates and dishes were thrown to the ground, and Emperor Mingde drew out the sword of the imperial guard beside him.

Silver light flashed, and the sword pointed directly at the people in front of the case.

"Your Majesty!" Old Master Han slammed his head to the ground, tears streaming down his face. "How did you become like this, Your Majesty?"

"I am the Son of Heaven, and my words are law. The dignity of the royal family cannot be trampled upon. Teacher, you taught me this. Someone, come here!"

The sword was out of its scabbard, and the Wanhua Tower was surrounded by people. At this time, the officials who were pretending to be stupid and trying to reduce their presence realized that they and the people in front of them were already grasshoppers on the same line.

In the face of absolute military force and imperial power, everything is false. Politics has always been the most real thing.

"Don't worry, everyone. Every year, tens of thousands of outstanding students graduate from the Imperial College and private schools, and the Qisheng Dynasty will not forget your contributions. I will grant you a grand funeral and hereditary titles."

"Mad man! Mad man!" Old Master Han stood up tremblingly and pointed his finger at the emperor.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." You are the hero, the immortal hero. Gu Junwen and Ye Nan stood side by side, and Gu Junwen whispered quietly.

"In fact, I know that you lied to me in the cave that day." Ye Nanyi suddenly laughed softly, "But what can I do? The one who fell in love first would have already lost miserably."

"You..." For the first time, Gu Junwen was caught in Ye Nan's eyes that seemed to be filled with light, and his mind was completely confused.

"But now I feel that I am not just wishful thinking."

Gu Junwen didn't understand the fluttering in her heart. But she didn't forget the serious situation and turned her head away: "My Lord, business is more important."

"Yes, business is more important. To be honest, this guy is an old friend." Ye Nan raised the corners of his lips suddenly, returning to his usual nonchalant look, but with a bright smile, "Han Qi, why don't you do it?"

The next second, something unexpected happened.

"You, okay, okay, my good brother, I really misjudged you." The situation reversed in an instant. Emperor Mingde looked at the complicated gazes in the hall and couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Han Qi, the son of Captain Han, you should have met him when you were a child." Ye Nanyi ignored Emperor Mingde, pointed at the young man in silver armor and silver helmet not far away, and introduced him to Gu Junwen with a smile.

"You all betrayed me! Betrayed me!" Emperor Mingde slammed the table frantically, his imperial crown tilted to the side, and no one rushed forward.

"Your Majesty, Royal Brother, perhaps I should call you Royal Uncle." Ye Nan patted Gu Junwen's shoulder and turned forward.

"You wanted to kill the former crown prince, but I happened to be brought into the palace to keep company with the real Ye Nanyi. You tried again and again, and you almost poisoned a baby to death. But you didn't expect that the person who died was not the one you wanted to kill."

"I didn't want to expose the truth, but I changed my mind." Ye Nan smirked twice, "You should know the truth."

“Ye…Ye Xiu Nan!” Emperor Mingde dug out his nephew’s name from the dusty corner of his memory and fell to the ground, mumbling absentmindedly, “Retribution, retribution.”

"Your Majesty, His Majesty did not destroy the physical evidence from that year. It is all here." A sharp but young voice sounded, and a rosewood box was presented.

"It turned out to be you." Emperor Mingde looked at Cai Quanfu who was lying on the ground and raised his mouth sarcastically, "You old thing, you have such a good adopted son!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Cai. I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future." Lin Lin appeared from nowhere and bowed to Ye Nanyi and Gu Junwen. "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince has entered the city."

"Okay. My Lords, please follow me to the palace."
