You Miao's shock was indescribable. He stood blankly, neither kneeling nor receiving this ceremony.

"Quick... Quickly please get up." Feeling ashamed of the prince, You Miao hurriedly helped him up.

"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the people." Zhao Huan said: "The traitor Zhao Chao usurped the country. I implore Lord You, for me, for the master, and for General Nie's last will, abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Please help me, Lord Shenzhi!"

"Why did His Royal Highness... come back?" You Miao said in disbelief.

Zhao Huan said: "Zhao Chao is seriously ill, and the Korean envoy found me and told me..."

As soon as Zhao Zong finished the first half of his sentence, You Miao immediately understood. He took a step back and looked at the prince, his eyes full of fear and anxiety. This was the hardest decision he had ever made in his life, but it was also the fastest decision he had ever made.

You Miao pulled out the dagger by the waist and swung out his arm in an instant with Zhao Zhuo. However, the warrior Quanrong who was hiding behind the screen moved faster and overturned the screen with a roar!

With a swipe of the dagger, the passage of time seemed to be extremely slow at that moment. You Miao never expected that Zhao Zong actually held the dagger he swung with one hand, and his eyes were full of regret and reluctance. The blood splattered everywhere, and You Miao was stunned immediately. The knife penetrated Zhao Zhuang's palm and could no longer go any further.

At the same time, the screen smashed into the middle of Youmiao, and Youmiao's right hand was broken, blood was flowing from his forehead, and he fell to the ground.

The Quanrong warrior who was hiding behind the screen appeared and guarded Zhao Zhuo behind him. Li Yan was shocked and broke through the door, followed by Ping Xi.

"You Miao..."

"Master Tour!"

The Quanrong warrior shouted, but no one dared to go forward.

"You... Really want to be so obsessed with it?" Zhao Zong said in a heartache: "Zhao Chao can't come back! What else do you want?"

"Cough... cough..." You Miao coughed out a mouthful of blood, her head swollen, and she spasmed on the ground.

"Your Majesty." Li Yan said, "I must do something tonight, and I can't delay it any longer."

You Miao knelt on the ground and put one hand on the ground: "You... Pingxi... You... "

Pingxi didn't expect such a situation, he stepped forward and said, "Ziqian, Your Majesty... Zhao Chao is seriously ill, and two days ago... passed away..."

Zhao Zhuo said: "You Ziqian, I promise you that I will not hurt your sister. I have no heirs in my life.

"Listen... Who... said that?" You Miao said intermittently: "Zhao Chao won't come back, you... Who did you hear? Even if he dies in the north, the military power is still in the hands of Li Zhifeng... You..."

Li Yan said: "Your Majesty! In times of crisis, don't be soft-hearted! You Miao is in our hands, and Li Zhifeng doesn't dare to act rashly..."

The Quanrong warrior stepped forward and saw that a palm was about to slash between You Miao's neck. In just a short while, in a flash of lightning, the accident was reborn! There was a loud bang from overhead in the room, and Tang Hui roared like a thunderbolt from the blue.

"Who dares to do it!"

Tang Hui was in mid-air, his armor of the Imperial Forest Army shone with golden light, and he turned down and shot four copper coins with great force. The situation in the room was extremely chaotic. Li Yan knocked over the table with a groan, and You Miao felt that Tang Hui was hugging him in one hand. He grabbed himself and forcibly pulled him up.

The Quanrong warrior rushed over, Tang Hui couldn't see anything, turned around and gave the Quanrong warrior a palm, the two broke through the house, shot out from the third floor, You Miao threw on Tang Hui, and the two fell hard at the same time. He got on the roof of a house across the street, smashed the roof, and fell into the room.

In the darkness and chaos, the Imperial Forest Army was in a hurry and carried You Miao onto the horse. Someone in the distance chased after him with torches. Tang Hui shouted, "Retreat!"

The whole Yangzhou was boiling. The Imperial Forest Army encountered an ambush. In the middle of the night, people turned on their backs. There were arrows and horses neighing everywhere. You Miao woke up in the cold wind and found himself behind Tang Hui's horse.

"Hold tight!" Tang Hui said anxiously.

"What's going on now!" You Miao said loudly.

Tang Hui said: "The Yangzhou army has betrayed! Go back to Maocheng first!"

"It's Pingxi!" You Miao spit out a mouthful of saliva, feeling that the screen in the Moyan Tower smashed one of her molars: "Go back and block the military department!"

The Yangzhou army chased out of the city, and thousands of imperial guards rushed towards Maocheng regardless of everything. Now whoever grabs Maocheng first will have the first chance in this melee. However, as soon as he entered Maocheng, the garrison in the city was killed. You Miao only felt that there were enemies on all sides, and flames were everywhere in the city, reflecting half of the sky red.

Tang Hui said: "What should I do?"

"Report—" A lieutenant rushed over and said loudly, "The west gate of Maocheng has fallen!"

You Miao rolled over and dismounted, gasping for breath outside the inner city gate.

Tang Hui said: "Close all the city gates in the inner city, Lord Shen, you take the queen to go first! Go to the north and ask your Majesty and General Li for help!"

"No... No..." You Miao knew that he was determined not to retreat at this time. In the darkest night of the night, when the fire spread along the long street, Tang Bo rushed on his horse and shouted, "What's going on!"

You Miao and Tang Bo looked at each other, You Miao's face was covered in blood, and the ministers rushed to the scene one after another, Xie Hui came, Qin Shaonan came, and most of the officials from the political affairs hall came.

"Zhao Zang is back." You Miao said: "If you are willing to defect to Li Yan, then go out of the city."

Xie Hui was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.

"Master You!" Xie Hui said, "Don't panic at this time!"

"I know." You Miao spat out a mouthful of blood, glanced at everyone, and said, "Aren't you all going? If you don't go, I will give an order, everyone please enter the inner city! Lord Lin, Lord Huang, Lord Li, please come quickly. Go outside the east gate, wait for me to come, and the rest of the adults will enter the city. Later, I will go to each county to dispatch Wang Ling, mobilize the militiamen of the sixteen counties of Yangzhou, and prepare the Imperial Forest Army to return to the inner city!"

"The king of diligence?" Tang Bo said, "Whose king is diligent?"

"Save the unborn prince!" You Miao shouted, "Save Tianqi's blood!"

Everyone around them hula-up and dispersed, Xie Huichao said to You Miao, "Your Excellency Shen Zhi has a good strategy, this battle will be won."

"Then I'll take your troubles, Lord Xie." You Miao whispered to Xie Hui: "The children of the gentry who entered the imperial city, please protect them properly, Lord Xie."

Xie Hui nodded, and You Miao turned to chase Tang Hui.

The Royal Forest Army was still fighting bloody battles to protect the southern gate of Maoxian County. Tang Hui stopped and said, "Master You."

"Brother Tang." You Miao turned around, and the Imperial Forest Army behind Tang Hui closed the inner city gate with a loud bang. The sun rose, Tang Hui stood in the golden light of the city, and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

"I can't go." You Miao said, "I don't want to go either. Sir has given me this burden. This is what I have to face."

After speaking, You Miao stepped forward and knelt down at Tang Hui.

"Please Brother Tang fight for me and for His Majesty!"

Tang Hui clenched his fists and said, "In this way, there will be Brother Lao Xian! If you want to enter the imperial city, you have to step over my Tang Hui's body!"

Tang Hui turned around and went to order troops. There were more than 6,000 soldiers left in the imperial army, and the four gates were closed. Xie Hui led the ministers and their families to gather and enter the hall. The morning sun was rising, but the inside of Mao City was full of fighting sounds. Qiao Rong came out with the help of the palace servants, and her expression changed: "Who is outside?"

Xie Hui and other ministers hurriedly saluted the queen, and Qin Shaonan replied, "It was Li Hanlin who joined forces with the Minister of War to Ping Xi and rebelled against the emperor."

"What about the political affairs?" Qiao Rong asked anxiously, "Where has Youmiao gone? He's still alive, right?"

Tang Bo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Canzhi has led Wenchen to dispatch the king's order. It is expected to arrive before dusk."

Qiao Rong was relieved and said, "Bring a chair and I'll be here with you."
