Commander Xue and his soldiers were shocked and frightened at first when they saw the Red Tassel Army pouring out of the alley.

But after seeing that the other side was all women, Commander Xue couldn't help but laugh: "Madam, do you think these weak women can stop the well-trained guards?"

Cui Suhua rode closer to him and attacked him with the spear in his hand unexpectedly: "You can try it."

"Let's see if my soldiers can defeat you good-for-nothings who have long since abandoned their training in Xuandu City."

Her words made the soldiers feel humiliated.

Following General Xue's order, the guards drew their swords angrily.

But these angry soldiers could not last even a stick of incense under the hands of the female soldiers they mocked.

Cui Suhua's spear pierced the commander's heart.

The spear was stained with blood, and the scarlet blood dripped from the tip of the spear onto the ground.

"Those who surrender will not be killed."

The main general was dead, and the morale of the others dropped rapidly, but the Red Tassel Army was still aggressive.

It was not known who put down the knife first, but in the end all the people were tied up.

Cui Suhua led the Red Tassel Army and continued to rush towards the city wall.

Xuandu City is destined to be in turmoil tonight. There have been many battles inside the city, and outside the city are rebels who may break in at any time.

The task that Su Qingluo assigned to Cui Suhua was to guard the city gate and not let any rebels set foot into Xuandu City.

The guards of Xuandu City are not all Su Qingluo's men. Some are Qi Taihong's men, and some are Wen Mingzhe's men, or Xiao Yuanju's men.

I have to say that the two of them did plan a lot.

If the queen was not Su Qingluo, they would definitely succeed.

Pingyang Pass, the closest to Xuandu, is also occupied by their people, and this group of people has also arrived outside Xuandu City tonight.

The man leading the troops was the close guard of Prince Shun. Prince Shun saw that he had the talent of a general and felt it was a pity to keep him by his side as a guard.

He then begged the late emperor to allow him to join the army.

Now that he is the commander-in-chief of a pass, he naturally has a lot of soldiers under him.

He also remembered the kindness that Prince Shun had shown him in the past, so after learning of Wen Mingzhe's ambition, he expressed his willingness to help.

But he didn't expect that the person who came to intercept him tonight was not Su Qingluo's people or Qi Taihong's people, but Princess Rouxi Wen Rongxue.

Wen Rongxue, dressed in armor and holding a long sword, blocked the intersection with five hundred city defenders.

"General Sun, there is no turning back once you pass this intersection today." Wen Rongxue looked coldly at the general in front of him with a serious tone.

Sun Qi had never seen the princess like this.

"Why did the princess stop me? Everything I did tonight was for the sake of the prince's cause."

Wen Rongxue chuckled: "The Crown Prince's great cause? My father doesn't know about the Crown Prince's great cause."

Sun Qi was stunned: "Prince Shun doesn't know? How is this possible?"

"The prince said that all this was the will of His Royal Highness Prince Shun."

Wen Rongxue took out the token of Prince Shun and said, "In compliance with the order of Prince Shun, I advise General Sun not to leave his post without permission."

Sun Qi looked at the Shun Wang token in her hand and hesitated for a long time.

"General Sun, His Royal Highness will not succeed today. There will indeed be a game in Xuandu City, but the winner today will only be the Holy Queen or the Prime Minister. General Sun must think clearly."

"If the general insists on going, this princess will not stop him. Whether you want to attack the city or besiege it, it's all up to the general."

"But the general must understand that no matter who wins today, the general will not have a good ending. The one who has been kind to the general is my father, not my stupid brother. My stupid brother is not worth the general's life."

"If the general returns home now, this princess will not tell anyone that the general has left his post without permission."

Wen Rongxue played with the knife in her hand and looked at Sun Qi with a smile.

"Can the princess guarantee my life?" Sun Qi was obviously still a little unconvinced.

"Uncle Sun, you have watched me grow up since I was a child. There is no reason for Rongxue to lie to you."

"Uncle Sun, as long as you go back, your official position and reputation will not be damaged in any way. Rongxue guarantees this with his own life."

"Wen Mingzhe thinks he is in control, but in fact he is just meat on the chopping board of others. Uncle Sun, please don't indulge him in his nonsense." Wen Rongxue once again gave sincere advice.

Sun Qi thought about it seriously, and finally chose to believe Wen Rongxue's words.

"But uncle, can you leave half of the troops for this princess?" Wen Rongxue asked with a smile when Sun Qi was about to leave.

Sun Qi looked at her puzzledly: "The princess wants troops, why?"

"To help the new emperor ascend the throne. The emperor has no virtue, so he should support the new emperor. What do you think?"

Sun Qi really couldn't understand Wen Rongxue.

"Who is the new emperor in the princess' heart?" Sun Qi looked at her fiercely.

Wen Rongxue laughed and said, "Uncle, you are joking. It is not me who decides who the new emperor will be. It depends on who can win the game with Xuandu City as the chessboard. Whoever wins will be the new emperor."

"Uncle is a smart man. He will see that the current situation is not something you and I can control, but I can at least do something to protect my father and my stupid brother, right?"

Sun Qi pondered for a moment and felt that after not seeing this princess for several years, he no longer understood her at all.

"Okay, I'll give you the soldiers, but you must not forget your promise. If you are still alive after tonight."

"Thank you, uncle." Wen Rongxue smiled and bowed to him.

Sun Qi left half of the troops to Wen Rongxue and went back home directly.

Wen Rongxue looked at the extra thousand soldiers and thought about the three thousand soldiers that Xiao Yuanju had transferred with the help of the emperor and Prime Minister Qi.

I should be able to handle it.

At this moment, the palace banquet was still going on. On the city wall outside the city, Cui Suhua directly killed the guard who was about to open the city gate, and took over the command without hesitation.

The Red Tassel Army in the city blocked every important checkpoint and no one was allowed to enter.

At this moment, Su Qingluo and Xiao Yuanju had no idea what the situation was outside.

The palace gates were tightly closed.

The Imperial Guards guarded the entire palace tightly.

After all, no matter which force it is, no one wants anything to happen tonight.

At this time in the Qi Mansion, the door was closed and Qi Guyu was sitting in front of the door with a chessboard in front of him.

She looked at her two brothers with a smile: "Big brother, third brother, father has said that no one in the Qi family can leave the house tonight."

"I am following my father's orders to keep an eye on my two brothers and prevent them from seeking death." She said it directly with a cold smile on her face.

"Qi Guyu, do you know how big a deal your father is going to the banquet in the palace tonight?" Qi Wenxing asked her with murderous intent.

"I know, that's why Father said none of you can go."

Qi Wennuo cast a cold look at Qi Guyu: "It seems that my little sister has long been at odds with us."

"I wonder what my younger sister said to father?" Qi Wennuo thought of the times when Qi Taihong had private conversations with Qi Guyu.

"Nothing was said, and there is no need for Third Brother to know. Third Brother only knows that you cannot go out tonight." Qi Guyu said in a cold voice, with the aura of a superior.

"Since I have chosen to stop my father's great cause, don't blame me for being ruthless." Qi Wenxing swung the sword in his hand.

The last trace of reluctance in Qi Guyu's heart also disappeared.
