"Fifth Prince, the invaders have all been dealt with. Please rest assured!" A general saw Gu Nianchen walk out of the room and ran over to report.

"Are any of you brothers hurt?"

"No, thank you, Fifth Prince!"

"Well, that's good. Go and get busy. The brothers of the Royal Guards are outside the camp. Please take care of each other!"

"yes!"

The general turned around to make arrangements. He only knew that the general had ordered everything to be under Gu Nianchen's command, so he didn't need to ask anything and just obey orders.

When Gu Nianchen returned to the room, Commander Lu looked sad. Today's blow was a bit too great for him.

Gu Nianchen didn't want to say anything to comfort him. He just sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. For a soldier to be in such a situation, he had indeed committed a serious crime!

As the sky gradually brightened, the soldiers outside the gate announced that a minister wanted to see him.

Soon the small room was filled with people, all of whom were absolutely loyal ministers of the dynasty!

"Everyone, the eldest prince is plotting a rebellion and holding a false imperial edict. My father is now dying and has not yet regained consciousness. I wonder if you ministers have any good ideas?" Gu Nianchen bowed respectfully!

"Fifth Prince, please do not do this. The First Prince has committed such a rebellious act and deserves death. This old minister thinks that while the situation in the palace is still unstable, we should rush in and capture the First Prince!"

"No, this is too risky. General Bai is leading his troops to the northern border now, and we are short of manpower. If we fail, the consequences will be disastrous."

"We can't wait for General Bai to come back. It would take at least ten days for him to return. By then, the eldest prince would have pacified the palace and ascended the throne with a fake imperial edict."

Everyone had their own opinions, and the noise woke up the emperor.

The emperor's forehead was bulging with veins from the pain of the sword wound on his chest.

"Your Majesty, you are awake!"

Everyone knelt on the ground, and Gu Nianchen stepped forward: "Father, please forgive me for being late to save you!"

"I don't blame you. It was my negligence that I didn't notice his evil ambition!" The emperor reached out and pulled off the token from his waist and handed it to Gu Nianchen.

"This is a secret order from the Royal Guards in the suburbs. Take the token and mobilize them now. Return to the palace after daybreak to capture that rebellious son!"

Gu Nianchen took the token and said, "Yes, father, take care. I'll be there right away!"

He walked out of the room, looked at the token, and disappeared in a flash!

A military base suddenly appeared deep in a dense forest somewhere in the suburbs. If the emperor hadn't said it himself, no one would have been able to find it!

Gu Nianchen held the token in his hand, and the general of the Royal Guards directly reorganized the 50,000 Royal Guards and followed Gu Nianchen's horse towards Bai Luoyu's camp!

Finally arrived when it was bright!

The emperor was lying in his carriage. Although his wounds were extremely painful and he was weak from excessive blood loss, he had to watch with his own eyes that his rebellious son was captured!

Gu Nianchen was looking at the soldiers from different camps in various formations in front and gave an order!

"Follow me and capture the rebels!"

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

Everyone set off, with Gu Nianchen riding in front. Just as they entered the city, they suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses behind them, and Gu Nianchen turned around to look.

He saw a familiar figure rushing towards him, dressed in white and silver armor. It was the young general Bai Luoyu!

Bai Luoyu stopped beside Gu Nianchen, and everyone's eyes fell on the two of them!

"Luo Yu!"

"Nianchen!"

Gu Nianchen looked at the person in front of him, with bloodshot eyes and covered in dust, and knew that Bai Luoyu had traveled all night to rush back.

He really wanted to hug the lover in front of him!

"Let's deal with business first. I'll settle the score with you later for deceiving me into leaving Beijing!" Bai Luoyu said!

"Yeah, okay!"

Commander Lu was watching the two of them from behind. When he first heard what the eldest prince said, he was shocked and couldn't believe it. How could Bai Luoyu like men?

But when I saw the affection in their eyes at this moment, I suddenly understood that love should have nothing to do with gender!

The palace gates and city walls were all guarded by the eldest prince. Looking at the number of people, it was just as Gu Nianchen had expected before, he had other hidden troops!

"Commander Lu will lead the Imperial Guards to attack the city gate head-on. The Royal Guards will split into two groups to attack the east and west palace gates. Those with good martial arts skills will blend in with the Imperial Guards and wait for an opportunity to climb the city wall and set up a ladder! Let's go!" Gu Nianchen called several main generals to his side, arranged the troops and led their teams to set off!

The five thousand elite soldiers left by Bai Luoyu stayed behind Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu to protect the emperor!

Although Gu Nianchen had enough troops, the walls outside the palace were built very solidly, making them easy to defend but difficult to attack!

Seeing that many soldiers had been shot to death by arrows, the ministers and onlookers in the distance were also extremely anxious!

Gu Nianchen glanced at Bai Luoyu, who instantly understood what he meant and nodded: "Be careful!"

Gu Nianchen soared into the air on horseback, and everyone around him exclaimed in surprise!

"The Fifth Prince, it's the Fifth Prince!"

"The Fifth Prince has taken action!"

"The Fifth Prince couldn't bear to see his soldiers get hurt, so he took action himself."

"The Fifth Prince truly has a kind heart!"

"Fifth Prince, be careful!"

Two people in the crowd took the lead in shouting, and the others followed suit!

Gu Nianchen's figure flashed and he climbed onto the city wall, causing a commotion. All the surrounding soldiers aimed their arrows at Gu Nianchen.

Gu Nianchen was not at all flustered, and he solved the problem in a quick move.

Because the space on the city wall was limited, they could only attack in batches, which greatly reduced the pressure on the guards attacking the city below.

Commander Lu commanded everyone to attack the city with all their strength. Several people with good lightness skills came to Gu Nianchen and lowered the ladder!

"boom!"

The palace gate was finally broken and the city wall was captured.

Bai Luoyu made a gesture, and five thousand elite soldiers escorted the emperor into the palace!

Gu Nianchen also returned to Bai Luoyu and moved forward with him!

While the guards here rushed into the palace, the east and west sides also entered at the same time!

Several teams gathered together and attacked the hall until all the rebels outside the hall were wiped out.

They stood on both sides of the square in front of the hall, waiting for Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu to escort the emperor to arrive!

Everyone stopped in front of the hall. The door was closed and they couldn't see what was going on inside!

"Grand Prince, surrender immediately!"

Commander Lu shouted towards the hall!

No sound came from inside, and after a while the door of the hall opened!

The eldest prince was standing at the palace gate wearing a dragon robe!

"You two are together so openly?" The eldest prince looked at Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu standing side by side, gritting his teeth!

Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu didn't say anything, they just stood closer!

"You! Bai Luoyu, I never thought that someone like you would actually..."

"What will happen? What can you, a person who was born as a chess piece and has been a chess piece all your life, understand?" Gu Nianchen interrupted him. He could say anything, but he would not allow others to slander Bai Luoyu!

The emperor felt very uncomfortable when hearing Gu Nianchen's words. He thought he was the one holding the chess pieces, but in the end he was backfired and almost died at the hands of his own son!
