Just when Su Meng was full of confidence and thought he had a sure win, Ying Shisan, wearing a dragon robe, led an elite team of inner guards and suddenly attacked from behind Su Meng like a storm.

"Follow me in the charge and kill all the rebels like Su Meng!" Ying Shisan's voice rolled in like thunder, shocking people's hearts.

Gao Lishi stood by Ying Shisan's side and responded in a resounding voice, "Protect His Majesty and kill the traitor!"

On the battlefield, the shouts of killing were deafening.

With the addition of the internal guards, the originally stalemate battle situation changed drastically in an instant.

The voices of Ying Shisan and Gao Lishi were quickly spread, like two sharp swords, piercing through the chaotic battle situation and guiding the inner guards to kill the enemy bravely.

"Second Young Master, something terrible has happened. The little emperor is actually coming with the palace guards to kill us!" A black-clad scout came running over and reported the latest battle situation to Su Meng.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing the originally complacent Su Meng's expression to change drastically in an instant.

Su turned his head suddenly with a sharp gaze, and saw a group of young eunuchs surrounding the little emperor, fighting hard on the edge of the chaotic battle.

At a glance, there were only a few hundred people, but in his eyes, the little emperor was seeking death. An inexplicable sense of peace surged in his heart, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that the little emperor has come here to die."

Su Meng laughed coldly, with a hint of teasing in his voice. Then he shouted, "Let them in. Whoever can catch the little emperor will be rewarded with thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of ounces of gold! Kill!"

Following his orders, the black-clad warriors moved quickly like ghosts. They shuttled across the battlefield, looking for the most conspicuous target.

Ying Shisan, with his inner guards, fought and retreated skillfully, but refused to advance rashly. Although this did not affect the overall battle situation, it did ease the pressure on Feng Lao and others.

When Old Feng saw this, his mood was immediately boosted. He leaped up like a roc spreading its wings and instantly leaped into the air, overlooking the entire battle situation with eyes as sharp as an eagle.

In an instant, his sight was fixed on Qin Hao, who was wearing a dragon robe. Gao Lishi was protecting him by his side, following him like a shadow. The dust in his hand seemed to have eyes, and every time he attacked, an enemy would fall down.

Due to the distance, Old Feng recognized Gao Lishi, but he did not recognize that the man in the dragon robe was Ying Shisan in disguise.

Elder Feng couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Your Majesty is so noble, how can you easily put yourself in danger? You are simply disregarding the safety of the country. It's really absurd!"

However, he knew very well that this was not the time to dwell on these matters. He also realized that this was the critical moment to turn the tide, and any hesitation would lead to the loss of the opportunity.

So, Elder Feng took a deep breath and shouted, "All soldiers, listen to my orders! His Majesty has personally led a large army to rush to our aid. Now is the perfect time for us to break out of the encirclement and attack His Majesty from both sides to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop!"

The Jinyiwei, Shadow Guards and Secret Guards moved upon hearing the sound, and their morale instantly soared.

They brandished their weapons and launched a fierce attack on the black-clad warriors like tigers descending from the mountains without mercy.

Su Meng's mood was like being burned by a raging fire. He was extremely anxious, and his eyes flashed with determination. He took a deep breath and decisively ordered: "Everyone, listen to my command! Do your best to surround and kill the little emperor, regardless of life or death!"

After receiving the order, the black-clad warriors rushed towards the little emperor like awakened beasts.

Afterwards, Su Meng was like a madman, with only one thought in his mind, which was to catch Qin Hao. He said to his confidant, "Go and tell the master about the appearance of the little emperor, and ask him to mobilize troops to support us immediately. Remember, as long as we can catch the little emperor, no one in this world can stop us!"

The confidant's eyes flashed with wildness. He looked at Su Meng deeply, then bowed and said, "Yes, sir!"

After saying this, he turned around decisively, and in just a few breaths, he disappeared in the smoke of the battlefield.

Gao Lishi's eyes were like an eagle, scanning the battle situation in front of him sharply. When he caught the subtle signal from Lu Yi, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he whispered to Ying Shisan beside him: "Lord Lu has laid a net, and this big show is about to close."

Ying Shisan nodded, his voice like thunder, echoing in the night sky: "Everyone listen up, retreat immediately!"

Following this order, Ying Shisan turned around like a ghost and retreated as fast as lightning. His figure cast a long shadow in the moonlight, and he fled backwards like a madman.

Upon seeing this, the black-clad warriors showed crazy greed in their eyes. The fruits of victory were right before their eyes, how could they let go so easily?

They roared, growled, and brandished their weapons, rushing forward like a tide.

The little emperor was about to be captured and victory was at hand.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The night sky seemed to be torn apart suddenly, and several cold rays of light streaked across the sky like meteors, shooting mercilessly towards those crazy men in black.

The arrows, with their sharp sounds, pierced through the tranquility of the night sky and also pierced through the lives of the black-clad warriors.

For a moment, screams, exclamations, and the sound of weapons falling to the ground intertwined together, forming a chaotic and bloody picture.

And those black-clad warriors who had been fearless and brave at first, now fell one after another in a pool of blood like a harvested wheat field.

Gao Lishi and Ying Shisan stood side by side, their eyes as sharp as eagles, staring intently at the killing scene that was surging like a tide before them.

The air seemed to be dyed bloody, and even their blood was boiling at this moment.

Su Meng looked at his men who were being forced back, frowning, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He hurriedly asked the scout who had just returned, "What happened?"

The returning scout came to Su Meng breathlessly and reported anxiously: "Second Young Master, there is an ambush ahead, and our people have fallen into the trap."

Su Meng's heart sank when he heard this, as if he was suffocated by a huge rock. He looked up and saw that his men were being attacked from both sides, like animals trapped in a cage, and the imperial guards were constantly pouring in from all sides like a tide.

"Everyone listen up, prepare for the attack!" Su Meng knew something was wrong, so he made a prompt decision and gave the order decisively.

Ying Shisan's eyes were fixed on Su Meng. Suddenly, his brows tightened and he shouted in a low voice: "Oh no, Su Meng is going to break through!"

At this moment, Lu Yi appeared beside Ying Shisan, with a faint smile on his face, as if everything was under control.

He whispered to Ying Shisan, "Your Majesty, Su Meng can't escape. I have already laid a net, if he can still escape, I will just find a piece of tofu and kill myself."
