"This..." Lu Chen frowned slightly, seeming to be hesitating.

"Your Highness!"

Wen Shun suddenly clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "I am not talented, but I am willing to overcome all obstacles for Your Highness. If Your Highness can trust me, leave this matter to me. I will contact those loyal officers and soldiers secretly, quickly accumulate strength, and wait until the time is right. As long as His Highness raises his arms, we will definitely help His Highness achieve success!"

"Uncle Wen is really kind and righteous, and I admire him so much!" Lu Tianba said sincerely in admiration.

"If that's the case, then there's Uncle Lao Wen." Lu Chen returned the gesture with fists raised.

"It's an honor for me to work for His Highness," Wen Shun said.

"Master Hou! It's not good!"

At this time, a guard suddenly ran into the door and said with a panicked expression: "I just received news that the Xiliang Palace is surrounded by a large army. The situation is now in danger!"

"What? Being surrounded?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen and Lu Tianba's expressions changed instantly.

They had only been out for less than two days, and they didn't expect the change to happen so quickly.

"What's going on? Tell me carefully!" Lu Tianba asked eagerly.

The guard glanced at Wen Wen and after receiving a nod, he said: "The four northern princes led an elite team and sneaked into the Royal City last night. All the officers of the Royal City Guards at school level and above were held hostage. The Royal City soldiers and horses, led by dragons, were paralyzed. , the four northern princes took the opportunity to besiege the palace in the name of King Qin, saying they wanted to kill Xiao Xiao and avenge the prince, but in fact they were sending troops to seize power!"

"boom!"

Lu Tianba was so angry that he slapped the table and said angrily: "Rebellion! These guys are really rebelling! How dare they send troops to besiege the palace? How audacious!"

He thought that even if the four major princes wanted to be in turmoil, they would at most just come to the city and put pressure on them.

He really didn't expect that these guys would be so crazy, completely torn apart, and immediately came to the bottom of the cauldron.

If the palace is destroyed and the military talisman falls into Lu Zhiyuan's hands, then they are really doomed!

"It seems that Lu Zhiyuan has been prepared for a long time." Lu Chen frowned and began to fall into deep thought.

This strange move really caught them off guard.

He also wanted to unite the four major princes in the south and persuade some loyal ministers and soldiers to jointly attack Lu Zhiyuan.

Unexpectedly, the other party had taken the lead and completely took control of the initiative.

Once the palace falls, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Brother, what should we do now?" Lu Tianba was a little anxious.

"There is no time to think about it. We must rush back as soon as possible to resolve the crisis in the palace." Lu Chen said solemnly.

"But the troops and horses we have now are not enough to fight against Lu Zhiyuan. Even with Uncle Wen and the others' help, it will take time to deploy troops and generals, and we may not be able to make it in time." Lu Tianba frowned.

"There is no other way, now we can only give it a try!"

Lu Chen looked at Wen Wen and said seriously: "Uncle Wen, please immediately unite your father's old troops, and together with the other three princes, support the palace. I will try my best to buy time for you and get reinforcements to arrive!"

"Your Highness! Is this too risky?" Wen Shun frowned.

"We have lost the opportunity and must take the risk."

Lu Chen leaned over and bowed, and said solemnly: "Uncle Wen, I will leave everything to you in the future!"

"Old minister... I will never let down His Highness's trust!" Wen Shun nodded heavily.

"Thank you, Uncle Wen."

Lu Chen glanced at Lu Tianba and said in a deep voice: "Let's go! Go back to the palace and meet Lu Zhiyuan for a while!"
