Murong Qinghe and Zhang Zitong instantly felt the pressure increase, as their companions around them fell one after another, and even they themselves were injured.
In such chaotic times, unless one is as strong as the Regent, individual bravery is not very effective, especially since there are many strong individuals among the rebels.
The two women exchanged a glance, a hint of despair flashing in each other's eyes.
"Who said there's no one here!"
Soon, a group of people arrived from afar, and the silver-haired old man leading them was none other than Qin Zheng, the Duke of the Qin family.
On either side were the brothers Qin Yongde and Qin Guangyuan.
Qin Zheng was highly respected in the army, and his arrival immediately boosted the morale of the imperial army.
Soon, a prince in the rebel army shouted, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just a tiger that's about to die of old age, and besides, they don't have many people."
Qin Zheng's troops were all loyal to the army, but in this great chaos, they were indeed unable to organize a large force.
"And we're here too!" Pei You and Gao Ying each led a team to join the battle, and the imperial army erupted in cheers.
The rebels' morale faltered for a moment, but soon a vassal king shouted that they still had a huge numerical advantage, so they continued to participate in the attack.

Just then, a figure appeared, stepping through the air: "Duke, I'm leaving this place to you. I'm going to protect His Majesty!"
Upon seeing that the other party was Situ Du Jian, one of the Eight Dukes, whose son had served in the Eastern Palace and was a former close associate of the Empress, Qin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your trouble, Situ!"
He immediately signaled his men to make way, and Du Jian quickly flew to Bi Linglong's side.
Bi Linglong frowned slightly: "Lord Situ, I don't need any guards here. I'd like to trouble you to help General Qin!"
Du Jian smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, leave the battle here to the soldiers. I will take Your Majesty to a safe place."
