Long Yingshen's cronies have already occupied important positions in the court. They have taken control of the palace, imprisoned Long Yunfu, and issued a series of absurd decrees in Long Yunfu's name, attempting to completely dismantle the Long family army.

Ning Wuwei was extremely anxious, but he knew that he had to remain calm in order to formulate the best response strategy.

Ning Wuwei ordered his soldiers to speed up their march and sent out fast horses to deliver messages to the generals of the Long family army in various places, exposing Long Yingshen's conspiracy and calling on them to unite and serve the emperor.

Long Yingshen's power in the court was already deeply entrenched, and his confidants spread rumors that Ning Wuwei was a traitor who was trying to seize the throne.

These rumors caused quite a stir in the military. Some generals who were originally loyal to the Long family began to waver, and some even secretly colluded with Long Yingshen, preparing to turn against him at a critical moment.

Faced with these numerous difficulties, Ning Wuwei did not back down.

He knew that this battle was not only about the life and death of the Long family, but also about the future of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

He summoned his generals and delivered a passionate speech, inspiring their fighting spirit.

He said, "We are the warriors of Great Xia, the descendants of the Dragon family. Now that the country is in trouble, how can we sit idly by? We will use our blood and lives to defend the glory of the Dragon family and the land of Great Xia!"

The generals were moved by Ning Wuwei's words and expressed their willingness to follow him to the death and fight the enemy together.

Seeing this, Ning Wuwei felt somewhat relieved.

He knew that this battle would be extremely difficult, but as long as everyone was united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

Under Ning Wuwei's leadership, the Long family army was in high spirits and advanced with unstoppable momentum, quickly approaching the capital.

However, just as they were preparing to launch a general offensive, an unexpected situation occurred.

Lung Ying-shen surprisingly dispatched an elite force to launch a surprise attack on their camp from the flank.

The surprise attack caught the Long family army off guard, and many soldiers were killed by the enemy while they were still asleep.

Although Ning Wuwei organized a counterattack in time, they still paid a heavy price due to the disparity in strength between the enemy and themselves.

With their camp destroyed and supplies looted, the morale of the Long family army suffered a severe blow.

Despite this sudden blow, Ning Wuwei was not discouraged.

He knew that he had to remain calm in order to find a way to defeat the enemy. He summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures.

After a heated discussion, they decided to adopt a roundabout tactic, bypassing the enemy's defenses and heading straight for the capital.

Ning Wuwei led the remaining soldiers, braving enemy fire, across the vast wilderness and treacherous mountains.

They overcame countless hardships and obstacles, but always maintained high morale and firm belief.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, they successfully bypassed the enemy's defenses and arrived at the city walls of the capital.

At this time, the capital city had fallen into chaos. Long Yingshen's confidants were searching everywhere for opponents, while Long Yunfu was imprisoned deep within the palace, his fate unknown. Seeing this, Ning Wuwei felt a surge of intense revenge.

He ordered his soldiers to prepare siege equipment and get ready to launch a general offensive.

However, just as they were preparing to launch their attack, a mysterious figure appeared in front of them.

The man was dressed in a black robe and wore a black veil, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. He claimed to be an envoy of Long Yingshen, here to convey Long Yingshen's decree.

Ning Wuwei sneered and said, "Long Yingshen's decree? How could I, Ning Wuwei, submit to his manipulation?"

The mysterious man, however, remained unperturbed and continued, "General Ning, do you know why you've ended up like this? It's all because of your adoptive father, Long Bin. He harbored ulterior motives and attempted to usurp the throne. And you were merely a pawn in his game."

Ning Wuwei was furious upon hearing this and said, "You're talking nonsense! My godfather is devoted to the country; how could he have any disloyal intentions?"

The mysterious man sneered and said, "If you don't believe me, I have evidence to convince you."

As he spoke, he took out a secret letter from his pocket and handed it to Ning Wuwei.

Ning Wuwei took the secret letter, opened it, and saw that it contained evidence of Long Bin's collusion with the Bohai Kingdom and his conspiracy to usurp the throne.

After reading the secret letter, Ning Wuwei felt as if his heart was in turmoil.

He couldn't believe that his revered godfather would do something so outrageous. He stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

Seeing this, the mysterious man continued, "General Ning, now that you know the truth, why don't you quickly abandon the darkness and join us in assisting the true king?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Wuwei was caught in a deep dilemma.

On the one hand, he was unwilling to believe that his adoptive father was a traitor, but on the other hand, he could not ignore the irrefutable evidence in the secret letter.

He was caught in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

Just then, a familiar voice rang in his ear: "Wuwei, don't believe his nonsense! He's a spy sent by Long Yingshen to sow discord between us!"

Ning Wuwei was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure clad in armor emerge from the darkness. This person was none other than his adoptive father, Long Bin!

Long Bin walked over to Ning Wuwei, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Wuwei, I know you're very confused right now. But remember, I am your godfather, and I will not harm you. Those so-called evidences were all fabricated by Long Yingshen to sow discord between us."

Hearing this, Ning Wuwei felt somewhat relieved. He looked at Long Bin and said, "Godfather, I believe you. But what should we do now?"

Long Bin pondered for a moment and said, "The capital is now under Long Yingshen's control. A direct assault would only result in the needless sacrifice of our soldiers' lives. We must devise a foolproof plan to rescue His Majesty and quell this coup."

Ning Wuwei nodded upon hearing this and said, "Father is right. We must calm down and come up with a good plan."

Therefore, Long Bin and Ning Wuwei began to discuss countermeasures together.

After a heated discussion, they finally devised a bold plan: they decided to exploit the conflict among Long Yingshen's confidants in the court to create chaos, and then take the opportunity to rescue Long Yunfu and quell the coup.

After the plan was finalized, Long Bin and Ning Wuwei began to act separately.

They secretly contacted the generals of the Long family army, as well as some ministers in the court who were loyal to Long Yunfu, to discuss the details of the plan.

At the same time, they also sent some spies to infiltrate the capital to secretly gather intelligence and prepare for the implementation of the plan.

After a period of careful preparation, the plan was finally put into action.
