After Chen Xu got off the city wall, he led his men straight to the imperial ship by the Liang River.

"It's been an hour! Madam, where is the person?"

He stood under the ship, holding a knife in his hand, his eyes filled with anger. Following his movements, the soldiers behind him quickly drew their crossbows and aimed them at the people on the imperial ship.

When the people on the ship saw him suddenly lead his troops back and point arrows at the imperial ship, they immediately drew their swords to defend themselves.

"Chen Xu! What do you want to do before the time comes?" Cheng Zong, who was guarding in front of the imperial ship, shouted sternly.

Chen Xu ignored him and looked at the Queen Mother who was tightly protected by the Netherworld Guards, his eyes grim.

"Now everyone in the world knows that I, Chen Xu, have colluded with the enemy and betrayed my country, and I have established my own army. I have nowhere to retreat. Madam, now that things have come to this, how about I just confirm this title?"

Cheng Zong looked alert, and looked at the soldiers behind him who were ready to shoot: "Chen Xu, you have to think it over carefully. Your Chen family army only has 30,000 people. Do you really want to fight against my Netherworld Guards?"

Behind the imperial ship where the Queen Mother was, there were three other huge ships, all carrying the most elite soldiers of the Netherworld Guard.

Chen Xu looked at him and smiled meaningfully: "Deputy Envoy Cheng, do you really think that I would be so stupid? To lead 30,000 people to start a rebellion?"

After he finished speaking, he took a step back and hid in the army formation. Then he waved his hand gently at the imperial ship and said harshly:

"Fire arrows!"

With his order, a barrage of sharp arrows shot towards the imperial ship like a rain of arrows.

The Queen Mother was startled and was quickly protected by the Netherworld Guards who used a shield. The shield was made of cold iron and was extremely hard and invulnerable to swords and knives.

Dunjia retreated quickly and protected the Queen Mother into the cabin.

Shen Zhiyi happened to be nearby, also protected in the Dunjia. She stood beside the Queen Mother, supporting her all the way. She was frightened by the overwhelming arrows and her face was a little pale:

"My lady, how are you?"

The Queen Mother quickly calmed down and said sternly, "I am fine."

She looked at the dark ghost holding a huge sword and wearing an iron mask: "Chen Xu has mutinied, dark ghost, find a way to capture the ship for me. If this continues, we will be trapped and die on the ship sooner or later!"

An Gui was silent for a moment, then nodded: "My queen, please stay in the cabin and do not leave."

Outside the cabin, the sound of a sharp sword breaking through the air was so painful that it pierced people's ears.

The Nether Guards on the boat defended desperately and covered another group of people getting off the water and onto the shore. There was chaos on the shore, and some of the Nether Guards were stabbed by people on the shore as soon as they emerged from the water.

The fighting was deafening, and the Liangjiang River was filled with blood.

Chen Xu stood behind the army, watching the fighting in front with cold eyes. Now Su Jingchen had his troops stationed outside the city, and the Queen Mother had the Netherworld Guards around her. If the Queen Mother used Sisi to threaten him, he could do the same.

He looked at the man holding a huge sword under the boat, with a burly figure and a red iron mask on his face. He was ruthless and swung the huge sword to cut the man in half. Chen Xu said in a deep voice to the deputy general beside him:

"Hold that man."

Upon receiving the order, the deputy general immediately dispatched people to surround the dark ghost who had just been killed off the boat.

The dark ghost was dragged down, and the Netherworld Guards on the ship gradually lost the upper hand, and some of them even boarded the imperial ship.

Inside the cabin, Shen Zhiyi listened attentively to the sounds of fighting outside. He felt the sounds were getting closer and closer, and his heart was in his throat.

The dark ghost looked at the increasing number of people on the imperial ship. His eyes darkened under his iron mask. He tightly grasped the giant sword in his hand, swung it violently, cut a path, and flew back to the imperial ship. His means were ruthless and forced those who wanted to get on the ship off.

Looking at the Netherworld Guards who had suffered heavy losses, his eyes darkened.

He turned around, looked at Chen Xu behind the army, took the bow and arrow beside him, aimed at Chen Xu, and shot.

Chen Xu was alert and dodged sideways, so the arrow did not hit him.

Chen Xu didn't care, but turned sideways to look at the other side of the river. Several large ships were slowly sailing towards Liangjiang City, with blue military flags on them and several with dark green violet flags.

Chen Xu looked delighted.

The dark ghost on the boat looked at the approaching warship, his eyes narrowed, and he tightened the giant sword in his hand. Cheng Zong, with a bloodstained face, hurried to his side, looking a little panicked:

"Master, those are the border navy and the Nanji Army flag. Chen Xu has mobilized the coastal defense army! If we face them, we have no chance of winning. What should we do now?"

"Protect the Queen Mother at all costs."

The dark ghost looked at the approaching warship, left a word, turned around and quickly entered the cabin.

The Queen Mother looked at the dark ghost who suddenly came in and was startled:

"How did you get in? How is it outside?"

The dark ghost glanced at the queen mother and shook his head:

"Chen Xu mobilized the coastal defense forces and allowed the remnants of Nanji to enter the eastern border."

The Queen Mother took a step back and slumped down on the carved pear wood chair behind her, looking grim.

"I asked him to find some Nanji people to cause trouble along the coast, but I didn't expect him to take the opportunity to let the Nanji people into the East Territory!"

She sat drooping on the pear wood carved chair, silent for a long time. She didn't think that she had spent so many years raising such a wild wolf by her side. She should have killed him long ago. She shouldn't have put the chips on such an ungrateful wolf.

After a long while, she slowly raised her head and looked at the dark ghost:

"An Gui, please follow me out."

The dark ghost looked at her with a hesitant expression and did not move.

The Queen Mother straightened her clothes and helped Shen Zhiyi stand up:

"Don't worry. Chen Xu wants to use me to intimidate the army in the imperial capital to quell the rebellion, but he doesn't dare to hurt me yet."

Seeing her resolute expression, An Gui stood in front of the empress dowager and walked out of the cabin.

When Chen Xu saw the Queen Mother appear, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers who were still fighting to stop and retreat.

As soon as the Queen Mother went out, she was stabbed by the strong smell of blood and her face turned pale for a moment. She looked up and saw corpses everywhere. There were also corpses floating in the river under the boat, and blood flowed along the corpses into the river. The military ship with the flag of the East Border Army and the boat of the Nanji people had entered the ferry and were getting closer and closer to them.

"Chen Xu, tell your people to withdraw and stay away from me."

She looked at Chen Xu and said coldly.

Chen Xu had a sinister smile on his face. He waved his hand and asked the people surrounding the imperial ship to withdraw and make way.

The Queen Mother looked at him, suppressed her anger, and prepared to get off the boat.

Then I saw the boats that had sailed into the ferry slowly stop on the river.

She turned her head and looked over, and saw the woman in pink standing at the bow, and her expression suddenly faltered.

Chen Sisi! Wasn't she sent out by me? How could she appear on the ship of the East Coast Defense Army?

Naturally, Chen Xu also saw the girl in pink standing on the boat, and his eyes lit up with joy, Sisi!

He hurried towards the warship, got closer, and saw the girl's face clearly. It was really Sisi!

How come she is here? Didn’t the Queen Mother say to send her out of the city?

"Dad——" The girl on the boat saw Chen Xu standing on the shore looking at her, and hurriedly waved and shouted.

The girl's voice came into his ears with the wind. It was really his daughter.

"Sisi! Why are you here!?"
