Looking at the orderly scene in front of him, Song Chongliang sighed. We owe it to Miss Gu this time. If it werent for her, the city gate would have been breached long ago, and we would have all been done for.

The deputy general who had previously suggested pus.h.i.+ng Gu Qingluan out to appease the anger of the Dingbei Army touched his nose and said with embarra.s.sment, 1 was really confused before, and 1 almost made a big mistake.

Song Chongliang nodded. When the battle is over, you should go to the Jun Residence to apologize! Although Miss Gu doesnt know what you did, you cant pretend it didnt happen.

The deputy general agreed deeply, looking ashamed. Yes, i will definitely apologize to Miss Gu.

Song Chongliang continued, ill go with you. She saved all of us, and we should thank her properly. Earlier, I didnt know who spread the rumors that Miss Gu was ruthless and unscrupulous, but now its all nonsense. Those rumors were spread by some malicious people. Lets take this opportunity to let everyone know that Miss Gu is beautiful and kind-hearted!

Great idea! Ive already thought about what to do!

Gu Qingluan, who had already left, was unaware of the two mens plans.

She had instructed Su Meng to escort Yin Qing back to Juns Residence, while she and Feng Tianlan rushed to the other city gates.

The other city gates were not as quickly pacified as the North Gate.

According to what Qi Tianyou had said earlier, besides the North Gate, the situation at the South Gate was the most critical.

So, she and Feng Tianlan went directly to the South Gate.

Even before they saw the South Gate, they heard the rumbling noise.

Gu Qingluan expanded her spiritual awareness and saw from a distance that the South City Gate was engulfed in flames of war.

The citys defensive barrier had long been broken, and the forces on both sides were vastly unequal. The city gate seemed about to collapse, and the city guards on the tower were desperately trying to stop the Dingbei Army, but the Dingbei Armys numbers were simply too great, and they couldnt hold them off.

Qi Tianyou was standing on the tower, directing the city guards, his voice already hoa.r.s.e.

Originally, he had intended to go to the North Gate, but on the way, he heard about the dire situation at the South City Gate, so he turned in this direction.

However, even with him here, the situation remained grim.

When Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan arrived, Qi Tianyou seemed to see a savior and asked excitedly, Young Master Lan, Miss Gu, how did you come? Hows the situation at the North Gate?

Gu Qingluan briefly explained the situation at the North City Gate, and Qi Tianyou was overjoyed, If thats true, its great. We can also tell them the truth here, and then the chaos can be quelled.

The situations on both sides were different.

Gu Qingluan shook her head and a.n.a.lyzed the reasons to him.

At the North Gate, Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan initially defeated a powerful Grade 7 Saint Beast and captured a Saint. This display of strength discouraged the Dingbei Army. Furthermore, a mysterious figure in white armor had concealed their ident.i.ty, causing confusion among the enemy ranks, which eventually led them to be open to negotiation.

But on the South City Gate side, it was obvious that the Dingbei Army was in a frenzy. They could see that the city gate was about to be breached, and they wouldnt stop.

Plus, Qi Tianyou, in their eyes, was the prince plotting to usurp the throne, and his presence here had only deepened their hatred, so they wouldnt listen to him.

Gu Qingluan scanned the surroundings and found that there wasnt a single Saint on the city tower.

Wheres Prince He?

Qi Tianyous gaze darkened slightly. Second Imperial Uncle said that if we cant even deal with the rebels, theres no need to cling to this throne.

Gu Qingluan couldnt help but smirk.

In her mind, the scene of meeting Prince He flashed back. She thought, This Prince He is as individualistic as ever.

Second Imperial Uncle has always been accustomed to a carefree life, not involved in politics. The last time he stepped in was because he happened to be with Father when he learned that Fifth Brother was in trouble. Father begged Second Imperial Uncle, and thats why he was willing to step in.

Of course, he did step in, but in the end, he didnt make a move to save anyone.

Qi Tianyou couldnt help but feel helpless.

What about Gu Zhicheng? Is he being lofty too?

This was a good opportunity to show his worth.

If Gu Zhicheng intervened, he would definitely gain a good reputation and benefit from it..
