Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

King Liang sensed something was wrong and turned around suddenly. His previously calm expression turned into a look of horror. Where did so many elite soldiers come from?

Even if the emperor transferred troops from other provinces in advance, it would be impossible to have such combat power.

He knew very well that the Xiang army was vulnerable. The troops he had transferred this time were those he had secretly trained. However, looking at their fierce momentum and strong men, they were not inferior to his own private soldiers at all.

Where did these people come from?

Suddenly he saw an acquaintance. The one rushing in front was Qi Jingde, the son of Marquis Wuning. He suddenly turned around and looked at Marquis Wuning who was rushing towards him. What was there to understand? It turned out that Marquis Wuning had already defected to the emperor.

The crown prince Qi Jingde, who had been traveling abroad, was actually not traveling at all, but was raising private soldiers for the emperor.

He was deceived by Marquis Wuning's constant pretending to be weak, and was even more deceived by the emperor's obedience. He originally thought that he was the one who could endure and disguise himself the most. Now it seems that he is not as good at disguising as Marquis Wuning and the emperor.

He recalled the auction held by the Wuning Marquis' Mansion before. Why did the Wuning Marquis, who was never short of money, engage in business to make a fortune? He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now he thought that the Wuning Marquis was earning military pay for the emperor.

He even asked Princess Liang to go to the first auction, and she also contributed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. When he thought about how he had given hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the emperor to raise private soldiers, he became so angry that his head felt dizzy. Finally, he was so angry that he vomited blood and almost fell off his horse.

The sudden arrival of reinforcements caused King Liang's men to panic instantly. Even the most well-trained soldiers were afraid of being attacked from both sides. They didn't know which side to deal with first. What's more, King Liang vomited blood at this time, which made them even more panicked.

Fortunately, King Liang quickly regained his composure. He gripped the reins tightly, wiped the blood from his mouth, and shouted with a sinister look in his eyes, "Everyone, pull yourself together and charge out! If you surrender, you'll die. If you charge out, you still have a chance of survival."

His words took effect, and his men fought even harder. For a moment, the scene was a scene of tragedy, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Zhao Liangchen had been fighting and retreating as early as when Wuning Hou and Qi Jingde arrived. He didn't want to fight to the death. He didn't want to get hurt at all. He just wanted to wait for Su Qin to come back safely.

However, he couldn't just sit there and let others see that he wasn't doing his best, so he retreated while finishing off the lone person.

Suddenly he saw a figure, a figure that was extremely familiar to him, or rather, a figure that was extremely familiar to him in his previous life, Zhao Gupan’s husband in his previous life, the one who betrayed them and was the first to open the city gate.

Because of his intervention in this life, Zhao Gupan did not marry this man, and Zhao Liangchen never did anything to him.

However, the betrayal of this person in his previous life was still vivid in his mind, and he did not forget it just because it did not happen in this life. In his previous life, because he was good to Zhao Gupan, he also took good care of his husband, allowing him to thrive in the imperial army and rise step by step. However, what he got in return was betrayal, and so many brothers died in vain.

Although he stayed away from this person in this life, leaving him no chance to betray him, he knew that such a person who was greedy for profit and treacherous should not be kept, and he should die like people like Zhao Kuo.

There was no opportunity before, but now this opportunity is just right. If he dies here, he can leave behind a heroic name for suppressing the rebellion. He will have many honors after his death, and his family will be treated well. It is really a good deal for him.

He curled his lips and quietly approached the man. When the man was not paying attention, he secretly stabbed the back of the horse he was riding. The horse felt pain and raised its hooves instantly. The man who was fighting with the man was caught off guard and was thrown off the horse. His opponent seized the opportunity, quickly bent down and cut his neck, but when the man straightened up, Zhao Liangchen, who had been prepared, also cut his neck.

As if inspired, Zhao Liangchen shuttled through the crowd, secretly looking for the imperial guards who had worked wholeheartedly for King Liang in their previous life and betrayed them. Although they had turned to the light early in this life, the revenge of their previous life had to be avenged. These people were not worthy of trust and could not exist in the imperial guards. Letting them die here was the last dignity Zhao Liangchen gave them.

In the chaotic battlefield, how could the people fighting each other imagine that one of their own would take their lives? So no one noticed Zhao Liangchen's abnormality.

Feeling that it was almost time, Zhao Liangchen quietly retreated. The city gate was closed and he couldn't get in. He didn't want to fight and had nowhere to go. After thinking about it, he simply found a place with fewer corpses, dismounted and lay on the ground, pretending to be seriously injured and unconscious.

He hadn't slept well for many days. Lying down like this, amid the sounds of countless fights and the choking blood, he actually fell asleep exhausted.

The sounds of fighting and shouting in his dream seemed to bring him back to his previous life, but as he looked at the rebels charging into the city, he was no longer in despair. He even saw Zhao Kuo laughing at him. When he stabbed him, he smiled because he knew that death did not mean the end, but a new life. When Zhao Kuo's knife pierced his chest, he did not feel any pain because he saw Su Qin's smiling face.

But Su Qin's face was full of gentle smiles, and she raised her hand and gave him a middle finger, as if mocking his cowardice and laziness. She opened her red lips slightly and rang out in a pleasant voice: "You coward."

He suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and felt someone carrying him at full speed. Qi Lusheng's panicked and sobbing voice rang out: "Liangchen, hold on. I'll take you to see the doctor. You must hold on."

He licked his cracked lips that tasted of blood, and shouted hoarsely, "Lusheng."

Qi Lusheng, who was running, suddenly stopped and tilted his head in surprise and asked, "Liangchen, it's great that you're awake?"

Zhao Liangchen nodded: "Put me down."

Qi Lusheng was unwilling: "No, you are injured, I will take you to see the imperial physician."

Zhao Liangchen struggled to get down: "I'm not injured, I'm just too tired and exhausted."

Qi Lusheng put him down doubtfully: "Are you really okay?"

Zhao Liangchen stood firm and patted his body to show that he was not injured.

Seeing that he was really fine, Qi Lusheng burst into tears of joy: "That's great! You don't even know that I went out of the city to look for you, but I couldn't find you. When I finally saw you among a group of corpses, I almost got scared to death."

Zhao Liangchen was moved by his expression. He patted Qi Lusheng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, stop crying. How could anything happen to me? I'm still waiting to drink with you."

Qi Lusheng raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears and smiled: "Yes, we still want to drink together."

Zhao Liangchen looked at the sky. It was already dark and there were many torches lit all around. It seemed that this battle had lasted for a long time. King Liang was so well prepared and had so many private soldiers. How could he be defeated so easily?

If they had not made arrangements in advance and caught King Liang off guard, this battle would probably have been a protracted one.

There were many people coming and going around, they were all busy. There were countless casualties at the scene, they had to clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and catch the ones who had escaped.

Zhao Liangchen asked, "Did we win?"
