The battle was over, and the two imperial guards were in chaos.

With Chen Yunfeng's order, the two imperial guards began to march out from the Suzaku Gate, the southern gate of the imperial city.

The 150,000 soldiers of the Changhong Corps were responsible for guarding the Suzaku Gate, while the Rising Sun Corps was mainly stationed in various places in the city and defending the four gates of Tingjing.

What the Changhong Corps could not have expected was that the Rising Sun Corps, which was originally loyal to Qian Zhen's faction, suddenly launched an attack and attacked from front and back with the two imperial guards, making it difficult for the Changhong Corps to continue.

At the same time, the two 10,000-man camps of the Rising Sun Corps stationed in the city quickly moved towards the residence of the third prince. Qian Zhen and Chen Yunxuan were only guarded by 5,000 personal soldiers, and the situation was precarious.

Yu Xuankui appeared in the palace covered in blood, limping, and reported to Chen Yunfeng: "Your Highness, the assassination attempt failed. There is a swordsman named Aliang beside Qian Zhen, who is very powerful and at least in the middle stage of the Martial Emperor realm. If I hadn't prepared the teleportation talisman in advance, I would have almost been unable to escape. General Wang Chengxu has been captured by them."

Chen Yunfeng stood up and said gloomily: "How is Qian Zhen's current condition? With his deliberate plan, doesn't he have any damage at all?"

"Qian Zhen was almost killed by my sword and was seriously injured."

Chen Yunfeng nodded and said: "Okay, you go down to rest and heal your injuries first. You can be used. I will send someone to notify them when the time comes."

After Yu Xuankui left, Chen Yunfeng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly: "Immediately send someone to pass the message to Wu Jun, the deputy commander of the Rising Sun Legion, and tell him not to be afraid of Wang Chengxu falling into the hands of the other party, and to keep Qian Zhen for me in Tingjing City at all costs!"

Near the Suzaku Gate, there were smoke everywhere, and the sound of fighting was deafening. The Changhong Legion, which was originally facing the two major guards alone, was already struggling, not to mention the backstab from the Rising Sun Legion. In less than two hours, the Changhong Legion had begun to collapse, and the legion commander Bai Gang died in the battle.

In the Third Prince's Mansion, Chen Yunxuan, who was still in shock, looked at Qian Zhen, who had just treated his wound and was pale, and said, "How could someone suddenly attack us!"

Qian Zhen said gloomily, "Cai Yong and Chen Yunfeng obviously had a plan in advance. They just received the news that Chen Yunque's troops had retreated to Wuzhou, and launched a decisive battle."

The commander of the personal guards, Yan Lu, said, "Lord Sikong, now that the Rising Sun Legion has rebelled, the Changhong Legion may not be able to hold on for long. The four city gates are under the control of the Rising Sun Legion. How should we deal with it now?"

Qian Zhen pondered for a moment and said in a cold voice, "Wang Chengxu is in our hands. With him as a bargaining chip, the Rising Sun Legion will definitely be cautious and fight their way out of the city first."

"I'm afraid that Wang Chengxu has become a discarded pawn. Since the eldest prince dared to send him here, he obviously had already made plans for possible failure."

Chen Yunxuan's expression became more and more panicked. If Wang Chengxu's card also lost its effectiveness, it would be extremely difficult for them to escape from Tingjing.

While they were discussing countermeasures, the 20,000-strong army of the Rising Sun Legion had surrounded the Third Prince's residence, preparing to launch a general attack.

Yan Lu escorted the wounded Wang Chengxu to the gate of the residence and shouted, "Your legion commander Wang Chengxu is in our hands. If you don't want him to lose his life, get out of my way!"

Surprisingly, the soldiers of the Rising Sun Legion did not show any change in their expressions, and still looked at Yan Lu with cold eyes.

"Wang Chengxu is no longer our corps commander. Now the corps commander of our Rising Sun Corps is General Wu Jun! General Wu has ordered that anyone who enters the residence of the Third Prince and captures Qian Zhen alive will be promoted three levels and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"

A feeling of despair spread through Wang Chengxu's heart, and he laughed loudly: "How pathetic and ridiculous! I have been loyally lurking beside Qian Zhen for six years, but in the end I was ruthlessly abandoned by Chen Yunfeng!"

"Go in!"

Seeing that threatening Wang Chengxu's life was useless, Yan Lu threw Wang Chengxu into the crowd, quickly drew his weapon, and led 5,000 personal soldiers to start a fierce battle with the 20,000 troops of the Rising Sun Corps.

Yu Fei, a lieutenant of the Rising Sun Corps, killed Wang Chengxu with a ruthless knife, and then quickly joined the battlefield.

The five thousand soldiers around Qian Zhen were all elite soldiers selected from a hundred miles away, and at least they were at the late stage of Wusheng. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they were able to handle the siege of the twenty thousand soldiers of the Rising Sun Legion with ease.

Yan Lu was extremely anxious. If he could not quickly fight his way out, when the Changhong Legion was completely defeated, the eldest prince's troops would gather more and more, and then he would be doomed.

.

Qian Zhen and the third prince Chen Yunxuan in the mansion were also ready at this time. Under the cover of 5,000 personal soldiers, they began to break out.

Qian Zhen never thought that the Rising Sun Legion, which he had established, was riddled with holes by the infiltration of the first prince Chen Yunfeng, and had long become a hidden chess piece left by Chen Yunfeng.

As the battle on the battlefield of Suzaku Gate came to an end, the 50,000 Rising Sun Legion troops, led by Wu Jun, quickly surrounded the residence of the third prince.

Looking at the increasing number of enemy troops in front of him, Qian Zhen showed a trace of despair in his eyes, and Chen Yunxuan was even more panicked and sweating.

At this time, at the south gate of Tingjing, 50,000 prison soldiers returned and appeared outside the south gate. Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, the main force of the Rising Sun Legion was deployed on the battlefield in the city. Ji Gang personally led the team and broke through the gate within half an hour and rushed to where Qian Zhen was.

At this moment, Qian Zhen had fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and even Yan Lu was seriously injured. With only less than 2,000 soldiers protecting him, he was doomed to fail.

Wu Jun rode up to Qian Zhen and sneered, "Lord Sikong, you have no way out now, why don't you surrender?"

Qian Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "You beast, I have been kind to you and Wang Chengxu, why did you lead the Rising Sun Army to rebel!"

Wu Jun said calmly, "Wang Chengxu and I have long been the eldest prince's men. Most of the soldiers in the Rising Sun Army were secretly trained by the eldest prince. Those generals who were loyal to you have long been eliminated by us."

At the critical moment, there was a chaos in the rear of the Rising Sun Army. Ji Gang personally led 50,000 prison soldiers to charge in with an invincible momentum, killing the unprepared Rising Sun Army.

Wu Jun's face changed drastically. He looked at the army coming to kill him and blurted out, "It's the Prison Guard. How could they appear here!"

Qian Zhen reacted very quickly and said to Yan Lu in a decisive tone, "Kill! Our only way out is here!"

In a desperate situation, the only two thousand remaining soldiers burst out with great potential and killed tens of thousands of people in the Rising Sun Army.

Soon, Ji Gang killed through the Rising Sun Army's camp and killed Wu Jun with a knife. Ji Gang came to Qian Zhen and said coldly, "Lord Sikong and His Royal Highness the Third Prince should leave with me quickly, otherwise they will be suffocated to death in the city when the Imperial Guards arrive!"
