However, Li Guangyi only had eyes for his son Li Mingzhe. Seeing that he was safe and sound, he finally felt a little relieved.

After entering the tent, Chen Zhennan coldly shouted, "Listen up, Imperial Guards under Li Guangyi! Leave the tent immediately! Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

Upon hearing this order, the imperial guards who had defected to Ren Qi fled like startled rabbits, not daring to linger for even a moment, and slunk out of the tent in disgrace.

However, the imperial guards under Li Guangyi remained steadfastly in place, like a pack of loyal hunting dogs.

They all glared angrily, some of them even drawing their swords without hesitation and pointing them directly at Chen Zhennan, as if they wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces.

Chen Zhennan's gaze was as cold as ice as he swept over the Imperial Guards, his eyes revealing a chilling killing intent.

Just then, Li Guangyi released Song Yunming, his voice tinged with weariness: "Put down your weapon."

Seeing this, Chen Zhennan smiled slightly and led Li Mingzhe to Li Guangyi.

"Marshal Li, I can give you two choices now. First, you can retire and return to your hometown, and Song Yunming will take over the Great Zhou court. The other option is that you continue to control the military, and Song Yunming will only be in charge of infrastructure here."

Li Guangyi was somewhat at a loss; there had been far too many twists and turns tonight.

They wanted to unite as one, but unexpectedly Chen Zhennan took advantage of the situation and destroyed the Great Zhou in one fell swoop.

"Is there a third option?" Li Guangyi asked in a deep voice.

Chen Zhennan thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "The third option is for me to kill all the officials here and take over the Great Zhou as before."

Li Guangyi trembled slightly and sighed, "Alright, I'll choose the first one."

Chen Zhennan gave a long "hmm," then turned around and said loudly, "Everyone, the three kingdoms are united, and the world is at peace!"
