Girl, let me check it out.

This is the Changyuan Iron Armor, a large peripheral army that has been fighting against foreign races for many years. The momentum is far beyond the comparison of the gate guards of the Sixteen Guards of the Imperial Army who are pampered.

"Gudong."

A gate guard holding a spear swallowed hard.

"My Lord, what should we do now?"

His calves were trembling and he could hardly hold the long spear in his hand steadily.

He was originally the son of a wealthy family in the city. His position as a gate guard was just a symbolic one, and he would go back to inherit the family business in two years.

He never expected that such an unheard-of thing would happen when he occasionally came to work.

"Don't panic. I have already sent people to the major camps in the south and north of the city and the Xuanzhong Guard Headquarters to seek help. I believe the reinforcements will arrive soon."

"As long as we hold on for a little longer, this group of traitors will surely collapse on their own."

The leading general of the gate guards pretended to be calm and said.

"But sir... they don't look like traitors, do they?"

Another man holding a halberd beside the general of the gate guard said with a wry smile.

"This group of cavalrymen are from Changyuan Tieyi, under the command of Minister Tao. If Minister Tao is a rebel, then what are we?"

"As for the other side... they are all Changming's citizens. They are unarmed, so how could they rebel?"

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for them to block the door and stop them.

Could Minister Tao be wrong? Could the public opinion be wrong?

What are they waving the weapons for?

The general who was in charge of the gate guard had a sullen look on his face, and held the gilded hilt of the sword tightly in his hand.

He knew very well that what his subordinates said was true, but what could he do?

"Master Wu, Master Wu!"

The messenger pushed through the layers of soldiers, rushed to him from the foot of the city wall, and knelt on one knee.

"How's it going? Where are the reinforcements?"

General Wu asked anxiously, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Now he only has a hundred or so people under his command, and he can't control the current situation at all.

They had no choice but to seek help from other armies belonging to the imperial guard system.

"Sir, Xuan Zhongwei directly rejected our request."

The messenger smiled bitterly.

"They even skipped work today. Not even one person from the Xuanzhong Guards' chief yamen was there."

"Damn Lanling Xiao Clan!"

General Wu pounded the pillar next to him hard.

"After I left Xuanzhong Guard, I went to the camp of the Left and Right Jinwu Guards. But..."

The messenger was breathing heavily, with sweat rolling down his cheeks.

"But the left and right Jinwu Guards also refused to send troops."

"what?"

General Wu was extremely shocked and angry.

If Xuan Zhongwei's refusal was within his expectations, then the refusal from Zuoyou Jinwuwei was something he had never expected.

"What on earth are Gao Jing and Feng Xi doing? Don't they want their official positions anymore?"

As soon as he said this, he realized something.

The troops blocking the door are from Lord Tao's army. He is Feng Xi's old boss, so he would definitely not send troops.

As for Gao Jing, this smiling tiger probably realized that the situation was not right and was trying every means to delay.

Hateful!

He let out a long sigh and felt regretful in his heart.

Why did this unfortunate thing that happens once in a century happen to me?

"What about outside? Have you been to the Imperial Guard camp outside the city?"

He still held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked with a fluke mentality.

But the messenger's next words shattered his last bit of fantasy.

"My lord, I am sorry for my incompetence."

The messenger whispered.

"The Changming City Gate has been completely blocked from the inside by the Changyuan Iron Guards. I can't get out at all."

General Wu's eyes went dark.

What on earth should I do?

He glanced up.

Time passed little by little, and the sun was getting higher and higher.

With so many people stuck here, nothing can go on.

If this continues, my career as a general will come to an end.

He paced in panic, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

At this moment, the Beigong Palace gate behind the gate guard suddenly opened.

Accompanied by the sound of heavy armor colliding, a large number of the emperor's troops poured out and formed a new line of defense along the city wall.

They are the three armies of Huben, Qimen and Yulin stationed in Changming North Palace.

The moment General Wu saw them coming out, he regained some of his spirits.

These imperial guards are different from the counterfeit gate guards. They are the emperor's personal troops, the best soldiers picked from hundreds of thousands. Although their numbers are less than the Changyuan Iron Guards, their lead in quality is enough to make up for the difference in quantity.

"All in formation!"

He roared like a fox pretending to be a tiger, as if to give himself courage.

Shortly after the emperor's personal army left the city, there was movement in the black wave.

……

……

"I know, I know everything."

Tao Yunjiang helped Song Qianming up and comforted him softly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get justice for them."

She turned back to the sea of ​​people before her.

"Don't worry, everyone. The justice that everyone has lost will eventually be returned little by little!"

"I...will not let their sacrifice go to waste."

When Tao Yunjiang said this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She also didn't expect that the people that Fang Weihan had helped would come forward spontaneously and kneel outside the Nangong Palace.

If he saw this scene... he would definitely be very happy, right?

I don’t know how he is doing in the Tingwei Prison.

She really misses him.

After the Jinwu Guards took Fang Weihan away, Tao Yunjiang rushed to Guyuan Town, the nearest town among the Nine Frontiers, without resting for a moment.

Because her grandfather is now in Guyuan Town.

Tao Yunjiang completed the hundreds of miles in just two days, changing horses countless times and his blood ran dry many times.

Just to be able to go faster and faster.

Fang Weihan is still waiting for her in Changming, and she may be the only one who can save Fang Weihan.

Just as Fang Weihan and Yun Shu thought, Tao Yunjiang would never abandon him.

This is the agreement between him and her.

She explained the matter to Tao Yan.

Tao Yan agreed readily.

This led to the Iron Guard cavalry of the three northwestern towns marching south.

She turned around and returned to the Changyuan Tieyi army formation.

"Jiang Jiang, are you done?"

An old veteran with white hair but still energetic asked with a smile.

He was tall and broad, and the years, like steel knives, had carved wrinkles on his forehead, but had not diminished his majestic aura in the slightest.

Turned to fight for three thousand miles in one body, one sword was once a millionaire division.

This is the pillar of the current Great Zhou court, the iron-clad foundation, Shanyang County Duke Tao Yan.

He personally followed his granddaughter back to Changming City.

"Ah."

Tao Yunjiang's voice sounded a little muffled, and it was obvious that he was not in a very good mood.

"what."

Tao Yan smiled and shook his head.

"Don't worry, Grandpa is here. Fang Weihan's grievances will probably end here."

Tao Yunjiang nodded.

She was in such a bad mood that she didn't even notice the joking meaning in Tao Yan's tone.

Tao Yan couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw his granddaughter like this.

He had already listened to Tao Yunjiang and his subordinates explain the ins and outs of this matter.

At the same time, he also investigated Fang Weihan's past deeds.

The intensity of Shanyang County Duke's investigation can be imagined. After a while, all of Fang Weihan's information was placed in front of him.

Tao Yan read it carefully and finally came to a conclusion.

Material that can be made.

The fact that Fang Weihan, despite being in a high position, can still sympathize with the sufferings of the world shows that he is far superior to most meat-eaters in the world.

What's more, he seems to have a deep scheming and a broad mind, and his talent in martial arts is extraordinary.

His status as a royal prince is not bad.

Tao Yan was originally worried about what kind of husband he should find for his granddaughter.

As for aristocratic family, I don’t like it myself, and my granddaughter probably won’t like it either.

I am a commoner, and there is nothing I can look up to. Not to mention Tao Yunjiang.

Tao Yan knew that her granddaughter looked cheerful and optimistic, but in fact she was prouder than anyone else. There were only a few people in the world who she could look up to.

Now Fang Weihan suddenly appeared, which made Tao Yan overjoyed.

In terms of identity, he was a vassal of the royal family, not tolerated by the aristocratic families, but also not trusted by the emperor.

In terms of strength, he can be said to be both civil and military.

What’s even more commendable is that his granddaughter likes him very much.

There are no other problems except that he has a lot of emotional troubles.

Tao Yan was very satisfied with Fang Weihan.
