Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

The wind swept away the clouds, the sky and the earth changed color. The news of the prince's rebellion was like a sudden storm, sweeping across the entire dynasty. Li Lingyuan stood on the high walls of the imperial palace, gazing at the black torrent rolling in from the distance. It was the rebel army led by the prince, like a raging wave, approaching the capital. Her heart felt as if it were tightly grasped by an invisible hand. Although her face was pale, it revealed a strong determination.

Xiao Yi hurried over, his armor barely in place, but already filled with a murderous aura. His gaze fell on Li Lingyuan, a moment of tenderness before a resolute determination settled in. "Lingyuan, this is dangerous. Return to the inner palace immediately. I will not allow the rebels to even set foot in the capital."

Li Lingyuan shook her head slightly, her hair dancing in the wind: "I won't leave, I want to fight alongside you. This is not only about you and me, but also about all the people in the world." Xiao Yi looked at her determined eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart. In the end, he just nodded slightly and stared at the approaching war with her.

The prince's rebels surged toward the capital like a tide. For a moment, the cries of battle and the thumping of drums mingled, deafening. The rebels erected siege ladders and scaled the city like ants. The defenders fought desperately, arrows raining down, rocks raining down, and the walls were instantly stained with blood, both from the rebels and the defenders.

Xiao Yi personally commanded the battle, his voice steady and powerful, echoing across the battlefield: "Soldiers, hold your ground! Don't panic!" He brandished his sword, and wherever it struck, the rebels fell one after another. However, the prince's rebels seemed endless, and continued to surge forward.

Li Lingyuan calmly observed the battle from the sidelines. She noticed that the rebels' attack in the east of the city was particularly fierce, as if they were concentrating their forces to break through there. With a sudden thought, she said to Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, the defense in the east is under too much pressure. We can withdraw some troops from the west and attack the rebels from behind, catching them off guard and thus relieving the danger in the east."

Xiao Yi's heart trembled. Although this plan was risky, it was still a good idea. He immediately sent an order to dispatch an elite force from the west of the city, quietly leaving the city from the side and making a detour to the rear of the rebels.

On the battlefield, the situation intensified. The defenders in the east of the city were gradually losing their strength, and the rebels breached the city walls at several points, leading to fierce street fighting. Seeing this, Xiao Yi personally led a team of imperial guards into the east of the city, engaging the rebels in a desperate battle. His swordsmanship was incredibly sharp, and each strike was filled with the determination to kill. The rebels were temporarily unable to withstand him.

Meanwhile, Li Lingyuan had organized a logistics team of eunuchs and palace maids within the palace to deliver arrows, food, and medicine to the soldiers on the front lines. She moved among the crowds, encouraging morale: "Don't be afraid, everyone! As long as we work together, we will surely repel the rebels."

The elite troops, having circled from the west of the city, finally reached the rebels' rear. Like a celestial force, they launched a sudden attack. The rebels were thrown into disarray, unable to coordinate their efforts. Xiao Yi seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack from the east, instantly sending the rebels fleeing in panic, their weapons and armor abandoned.

But the prince did not give up. He regrouped and sent another surprise force to attack the capital from a small road in the south. This time, the rebels were more ferocious and used fire attack tactics, setting many carriages filled with flammable materials on fire and pushing them towards the capital.

The fire was so fierce that the south gate of the capital was instantly engulfed in flames. Xiao Yi hurriedly dispatched troops to put out the fire, while commanding archers to fire at the rebels to prevent them from advancing further. Li Lingyuan led the men in digging ditches in the city to divert water and extinguish the fire.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the fire was finally brought under control. However, the rebels had already taken advantage of the chaos to storm the south gate of the capital, engaging in fierce street fighting with the defenders. Xiao Yi knew that if the rebels could not be repelled quickly, the capital would be doomed.

He thought of a risky move and decided to lead a death squad to attack the rebels' main camp and capture the leader first. Li Lingyuan was shocked when she heard about this plan and wanted to dissuade him, but seeing Xiao Yi's determined eyes, she knew she couldn't change his decision.

"Xiao Yi, you must come back safely." Tears flashed in Li Lingyuan's eyes.

Xiao Yi gently held her hand: "Don't worry, I will come back." After that, he led the death squad and rushed towards the rebel army like a tiger.

In the city's street fighting, the defenders and the rebels engaged in a fierce battle. Every street and every house became a focal point for both sides. Li Lingyuan commanded the city's residents to assist the defenders with simple weapons such as stones and sticks.

Xiao Yi led a death squad that bravely charged through the rebel camp, unafraid of the enemy and cutting through all obstacles. Finally, they found the prince's central military tent. Without hesitation, Xiao Yi rushed in and engaged the prince in a thrilling duel.

The prince was no ordinary warrior. Wielding a longsword, he engaged Xiao Yi in a fierce exchange of blows, their strength seemingly undecided. But Xiao Yi, consumed by his longing for Li Lingyuan and his responsibility to the people of the capital, intensified his swordsmanship. Finally, seizing the perfect moment, he thrust his sword at the prince. Unable to dodge, Xiao Yi struck him in the vitals, sending him sprawling to the ground.

With the prince's fall, the rebels were leaderless and their morale was in chaos. Xiao Yi led the death squad and took advantage of the situation to charge into the rebel camp, shouting, "The prince is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

The rebels laid down their weapons, surrendered, and begged for mercy. The crisis in the capital was finally over. Li Lingyuan looked at Xiao Yi, who was covered in blood, and tears welled up in her eyes. She ignored everyone's gaze and ran into Xiao Yi's arms.

This rebellion puts Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi through a life-or-death test, and their relationship becomes even stronger amidst the flames of war. And the capital, after this baptism of blood and fire, gradually returns to its former peace and prosperity.
