On the city wall, Jiang Wan's martial arts were very different from before. She no longer used the assassin's unique double swords, but defeated more than ten people in an instant with her bare hands.

The imperial guards who rushed onto the city wall tried to form a defensive formation, but they seemed too vulnerable to this powerful early-stage grandmaster.

She crouched down and waved her hand lightly, creating a gust of wind. Several imperial guards were blown away several meters by an invisible force and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a short time.

Seeing this, another wave of imperial guards who had climbed up retreated one after another, but a gust of wind blew quickly, accompanied by unclear fist shadows. They fell one after another, howling in pain, but no one dared to move forward.

Jiang Wan had a handsome figure, fierce boxing skills, and decisive movements. He harvested the opponents' heads at a rapid speed like the god of death.

They seemed to really feel the fear of despair and gave up climbing the shaky ladder.

The imperial guards who rushed up from behind quickly adjusted their formation, gathered all the huge trees, stones and other heavy objects in their hands, and prepared to launch a final fierce attack on the city gate.

At the critical moment when the city gate was about to be broken, a carrier pigeon message from Longyang City fell into Jiang Wan's hands. The content of the letter made her frown slightly: King Nan killed the king and seized the throne.

Looking at the figures colliding repeatedly in the void, Jiang Wan was able to distinguish the importance of right and wrong. She jumped into the air in an instant. There was no weapon in her hand, but it seemed that a thousand pounds of strength was condensed.

"stop!"

She formed seals with her hands and used the Qiankun Hua Palm according to the method taught by her grandfather, which could dissolve the power of all things for her own use.

As the black and white palms were pushed out, a huge amount of energy penetrated the attacks of the three masters and pushed them back several meters.

Even the battle-hardened Commander Zhang felt inexplicably shocked. He was someone who could contend with grand masters, but now he was almost defeated by someone in the early stages of a grand master.

Jiang Wan hovered in the air, her cold eyes swept over the people below. Although her voice was soft, it could touch people's hearts directly: "Commander Zhang, the King of the South has rebelled. This is true without a doubt."

After reading the letter, Commander Zhang frowned and began to doubt: "How could the King of the South do such a rebellious thing?"

Xia Yurou was very unhappy to hear this. Fengming Sword secretly gathered strength and said in a deep voice with a dark face: "The rebellion of the Southern Prince is fake, but my prince is real. Isn't this too hypocritical?"

The two sides were on the verge of a fight. If Jiang Wan hadn't known the Qiankun Palm, her best friend would have started fighting with the commander again.

Ren Chenxi, who was wearing a brocade royal robe, said in a deep and powerful voice: "Commander Zhang, you are a loyal and righteous man of the Dragon Kingdom. Don't let the treacherous people cloud your judgment. There are many doubts in this matter. The king is willing to go back with you to find out the truth."

Commander Zhang also felt that something was fishy. Recalling Li Wei's unusual behavior, all the blame was directed at King Beiling.

Even if the Southern King wanted to rebel, why didn't his deputy general send an urgent report? Could it be that Deputy General Liu had met with an accident?

Thinking of this, saving the emperor was the most important thing at the moment, so he immediately turned the exquisite bow in his body into a solid body and jumped onto the horse's back. The horse neighed and its four hooves churned, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Everyone follow me and retreat back to the palace to rescue the emperor."

Commander Zhang's powerful voice echoed throughout Beiling. The remaining imperial guards gave up on the city gate that they were about to break through and retreated like a tide. The sound of horse hooves gradually dissipated in the distance.

The city gate looked particularly solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if it had just undergone a baptism and become indestructible.

The young soldiers on the city wall hugged each other excitedly and happily celebrated this hard-won victory.

The soldiers guarding the city gate collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion, and the people in the city also left their homes when they heard that there was no movement.

Upon hearing the news that the enemy had retreated, everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory. Children were happily chasing and playing in the streets, and laughter echoed in the streets and alleys.

The elders gathered together, talking about this thrilling defense battle, and praising the bravery of the prince and princess.

As the war came to an end, the vendors began to get busy and the surroundings became as harmonious as before, as if what had just happened had never happened.

The setting sun dyed the sky a brilliant orange-red like blood. Ren Chenxi drove the off-road vehicle, roaring and rushing out of the city gate. Amidst the flying dust, it was like a wild beast that had broken free from its restraints and headed straight towards Longyang.

Xia Yurou tightly grasped the Fengming Sword, her eyes revealing a sharpness that should not be underestimated, as if she was determined to break through the darkness and reach the light.

Xiaoxue was sitting in the back seat, tightly gripping the whip. Although her martial arts skills were mediocre, she still wanted to protect the important people.

Jiang Wan rode the black motorcycle, like a ghost in the night, speeding closely behind the off-road vehicle in front.

The cold winter wind whistled past her, and fog appeared on the transparent mask of the helmet, but it could not stop her steps.

The lights of the car were as bright as the brightest stars in the universe, leading them at full speed towards the dangerous Longyang City.

Inside the car, Xia Yurou felt more and more that something was wrong. She gently stroked the sword, and the crisp sound seemed to respond to her worries.

"Your Highness, this matter is by no means as simple as it seems. Think about it, if they really wanted to get rid of you, why would they mobilize so many troops? This is more like... trying to cover up something and divert attention."

Ren Chenxi held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You mean someone is framing you and me behind my back with the intention of treason, deliberately forcing Commander Zhang to attack Beiling, in fact, to let the King of the South force you to abdicate?"

The off-road vehicle sped along the rugged mountain road, its headlights cutting through the darkness and illuminating the twisted road ahead.

"I'm afraid the matter is not that simple. The person behind the scenes is most likely targeting you. There are too many suspicious points in this arrangement. Why did Commander Zhang insist that you have the intention of treason? And I am the enchanting concubine who seduces people? And who secretly sent the pigeon message to Beiling?"

The atmosphere in the car became very depressing. Ren Chenxi frowned, and Du Wenxuan's sinister face flashed through his mind. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he could not hide the coldness in his eyes: "Is all this another calculation of Du Wenxuan?"

Xia Yurou glanced sideways and exchanged a meaningful look with Ren Chenxi: "It's not impossible. I'm afraid he is the only person in the world who wants the prince's life the most."

"If Du Wenxuan is really the mastermind, then how did he get the commander of the Imperial Guards to send troops to Beiling?"

With the roar of the off-road vehicle's engine, a hole was torn in the night, and it was rapidly approaching Longyang City.

She stared at the dark and blurry scenery outside through the car window and said solemnly: "I'm afraid that only when we reach the Imperial City will all the mysteries surface."

The speed of the off-road vehicle and the motorcycle did not slow down but increased instead, leaving two tracks of wheels in the moonlight.
