The battle lasted until the early hours of the next morning.

Seeing the sky turning white, Jixiang fought her way from the front to the middle of the team. When she saw the three children still intact in the arms of the nanny and Nanny Yu, she finally felt relieved.

Tian Muyu, who was already covered in blood, was very happy to see Jixiang coming back, "Don't worry, I'm here, I won't let anything happen to them." Seeing the worry in Jixiang's eyes, he said in a relaxed manner, "This is not my blood, it was splashed on my body when I killed those people."

Jixiang was moved and gave Tian Muyu a grateful look.

The team that came to besiege them this time was completely different from the previous assassination and sneak attacks. After fighting for a whole night, many people had fallen to the ground, but the remaining soldiers were like they were bewitched. They got up again after being knocked down and continued to fight.

There is quite a bit of fighting spirit as tenacious as cockroaches.

Perhaps it is because they are all troops protecting the imperial city, and their discipline is naturally stricter than that of other troops.

But Jixiang didn't know their identities, so he looked at Xiang Tianmuyu and asked, "Who are these people?"

Tian Muyu said coldly, "The new emperor left behind a guard outside the capital, and there are about 30,000 guards."

"Are all 30,000 people dispatched?"

Tian Muyu looked at the endless procession and nodded, "It seems that the Sixth Emperor's uncle really doesn't want us to return to the capital."

Jixiang couldn't help but smile, "That's good. No need to be hypocritical and polite to him. Since he started it first, let's not be polite. Let's fight. Let's fight directly into the capital! Isn't this a good excuse to deliver it to our doorstep?"

Seeing Jixiang smiling sweetly and not at all affected by the war in front of them, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time they also inexplicably wanted to continue fighting for the couple in front of them.

Jixiang jumped back on his horse and shouted, "Listen up, soldiers of the right wing of the Tiger Army and the Bear Army. The people who attacked us last night were the new emperor's city guards! The new emperor has made his attitude clear. He doesn't want the late emperor's coffin to enter the capital. He has labeled us traitors!"

"Why did the new emperor do this? It's because he was shameless in stealing the country and harming his brother, which is against the will of heaven. Even if he did these shameless and unlawful things, he would feel uneasy, so he wanted to kill me and Prince Ning so urgently."

"My fellow soldiers, we are here under the order of the late emperor to investigate the cause of the death of the new emperor. Did he commit any acts of treason or harm the people?"

Everyone shouted, "No!"

"Since we have never plotted rebellion or harmed the people, should we quietly endure the new emperor's treatment of us?"

The crowd shouted again, "No!"

"Okay, since the soldiers all know this clearly, if the new emperor still insists on killing me and the prince, then the prince and I don't need to think about family affection anymore. We are ready to raise the banner of the late emperor and fight back to the capital! Let Prince Ning become the new emperor!"

Everyone was stunned at this moment.

Even Tian Muyu was so shocked that he stood there in a daze.

What is Jixiang trying to do? Is he planning a rebellion?!

Although they had already discussed it and decided to take this route if it really didn't work, but right now...

It seemed like right now, indeed, there was an opportunity.

Tian Muyu thought of the imperial edict left by the late emperor. He wanted to take it out to see if it was the late emperor's will to pass on the throne to him. At this time, he heard Xiong Er shouting, "My Xiong family army is willing to follow you until death!"

Pang Ting also shouted, "The right wing of the Tiger Army will fight to the death!"

All the soldiers also shouted, "We will follow you till death, and stay together through life and death!"

"We swear to follow you till death, and stay with you through life and death!"

Seeing the soldiers' excitement, those on the Acropolis lost their confidence. They looked at each other, not knowing whether they should continue the attack.

Tian Muyu seized the opportunity and said, "Listen, all the city guards. I know that you are following the orders of my sixth uncle to kill me and the princess. However, if you put down your swords now and stop helping the tyrant, the princess and I will not hold you accountable."

Only one-tenth or twelve-tenth of the Weicheng Army were left at this time, and they no longer had the ability to fight against the Xiong Army and the Tiger Army. Seeing that Jixiang had returned to the team, they naturally did not want to fight anymore.

One of the generals stepped forward and said, "Prince Ning, Princess Ning, if we lay down our swords, can you guarantee that my remaining brothers can live?"

Jixiang nodded, "Of course. You can stay or leave as you like."

Tian Muyu also said, "If you still want to resist, I will kill you without mercy!"

Xiong Er and Pang Ting immediately took the lead and shouted, "Kill without mercy!" and rubbed their hands, ready to attack the Acropolis troops.

The soldiers of the Acropolis Army immediately lost their will to resist and put down their swords.

The general stepped forward and raised his sword above his head. "I know that the emperor's seizure of the throne was not fair and upright, and I have long felt unfair, but as a soldier, I cannot disobey the emperor's order. I hope that the prince and princess will forgive me!"

Jixiang looked at the general who was kneeling on one leg below, flicked his whip, and took away the general's sword.

"You can take your people and go now."

The general looked up and said, "I want to join the Xiong family army! Please approve it, Your Majesty and Princess!" He clasped his hands together.

Jixiang and Tian Muyu both looked at Xiong Er.

Xiong Er laughed, "Why do you want to join the Xiong Family Army?"

"Twenty years ago, I heard from my father that the Xiong Family Army is the bravest and most loyal army of our Great Saint Dynasty. The Xiong Family Army is willing to follow the prince and princess, so I am also willing to follow the prince and princess and help the prince become the new emperor of our Great Saint Dynasty!"

When the Acropolis soldiers saw that their leader had turned against their allies in the middle of a battle, and had done so with confidence and integrity, they immediately felt that it would be the right thing for them to follow their leader.

So everyone threw away their weapons and retreated, "We are willing to follow the general and follow the prince and princess!"

So, the bloody battle that was originally going to continue was stopped when Jixiang and Tian Muyu were covered in blood.

Jixiang asked Pang Ting and Xiong Er to take care of the injured soldiers, and then he and Tian Muyu came to the carriage.

The three children were indeed Jixiang and Tian Muyu’s children.

Even though there was a fierce fight last night, it didn't seem to affect them. They were all full of energy, and their eyes were as bright as black wash stone.

Especially when the little princess saw Jixiang, she babbled and wanted to talk to Jixiang.

Jixiang's heart melted immediately, "Wait for a moment, I'll change my clothes and get rid of the blood on my body before I hug you."

When Jixiang said this, Tian Muyu, who had originally reached out to touch his son's face, was so scared that he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Come on, Princess, let's go to my carriage and change clothes!" Tian Muyu pulled Jixiang and was about to leave.

Jixiang looked at Tian Muyu, "Your Majesty, do you think you have time to change your clothes now?"

Tian Muyu was stunned.

Jixiang said, "There is no time to lose. You must make arrangements now. We must return to the city as soon as possible and cannot give the new emperor any time to prepare."

"What did you call me just now?"

"Your Majesty, don't you dare to sit in this position?"

Tian Muyu thought for a moment, "For my father's sake, I will take the seat!" Then he turned around and told Guard Li, "Notify all the soldiers who are not injured to assemble immediately!"
