Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

Chapter 134 The Fate of Grand Commandant Wen

At this moment, Grand Commandant Wen led two thousand elite soldiers directly into the palace, aiming to take Xue Huaiyu's head. This battle was fought very urgently.

Time was of the essence for Grand Commandant Wen. Prolonged delays would only worsen the situation. Therefore, Grand Commandant Wen decided to act swiftly. Wen Yixuan and Wen Yichuan were tasked with holding off the Prince of Huainan and Shen Jin to ensure the main force could concentrate its efforts on attacking the South Gate.

The South Gate is definitely guarded by General Pei. If we continue to fight with General Pei, we may end up losing to both sides and neither of us will benefit.

Moreover, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and military-intensive. A country cannot be in a state of constant civil war. When the war ends, the throne obtained will probably be nothing more than an empty shell.

Therefore, Grand Commandant Wen didn't want to waste time with them and planned to strike at the heart of the enemy, taking Xue Huaiyu's head directly. Once successful, the outcome would be decided, and the others would have no choice but to accept reality. Although this decision was risky, in Grand Commandant Wen's view, it was the quickest way to solve the problem.

After all, the other generals were not to be underestimated, and among Wen Taiwei's side, only Wen Taiwei had actually been on the battlefield and was capable of fighting.

Both Wen Yixuan and Wen Yichuan were going to the battlefield for the first time. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no one else, Grand Commandant Wen wouldn't have wanted them to go. So Grand Commandant Wen didn't have much time left.

Just as Grand Commandant Wen was sweeping through the palace and heading straight for Xue Huaiyu's bedroom, he did not find Xue Huaiyu. At this time, Grand Commandant Wen was already surrounded without realizing it.

"I knew you wouldn't fight an unprepared battle, but you miscalculated one thing: Xue Huaiyu is afraid of dying!" Zheng Yuxiang suddenly emerged from behind Grand Commandant Wen, with the Imperial Guards behind him. Beside him, Zheng Luoqi wore silver armor, held a long sword, and her eyes were full of killing intent.

"Zheng Yuxiang, what are you doing here? Are you here to die?" Grand Commandant Wen said disdainfully to Zheng Yuxiang.

"Wen Yihong, you're not still waiting for your army to raze the palace, are you? You're mistaken. At this time, General Shen and the Prince of Huainan have probably already noticed something amiss and are heading to the South Gate to help General Pei."

"Your plan is very well done, but unfortunately, it has taken too long. If you could have been faster and kept us from noticing anything amiss, you might have actually succeeded!" Zheng Yuxiang raised his hand, and many archers appeared on the rooftops surrounding Kunning Palace.

As soon as Zheng Yuxiang lowered his hand, the archers around him immediately received the order.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Arrows shot towards Grand Commandant Wen from all directions, and Grand Commandant Wen hurriedly used his spear to defend himself.

Screams filled the air. After several rounds of firing, most of the men brought by Commander Wen were dead or wounded.

Seeing the heavy casualties among his men, Grand Commandant Wen was furious, but he did not panic. Instead, he took advantage of the chaos and rode his horse towards Zheng Yuxiang.

When Zheng Yuxiang saw Wen Taiwei rushing over, he calmly stepped aside, making enough room for Zheng Luoqi.

Zheng Luoqi watched as Wen Taiwei charged towards him menacingly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Just as Wen Taiwei was about to strike Zheng Luoqi, he nimbly dodged the attack to the side.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Luoqi swung her sword at Wen Taiwei's horse with lightning speed. The horse, in pain, went berserk and threw Wen Taiwei off its back.

When Zheng Luoqi saw Wen Taiwei fall to the ground, she immediately rushed over, wanting to take this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

However, Wen Taiwei reacted extremely quickly, picking up the spear from the ground and holding it horizontally in front of him, which just happened to block Zheng Luoqi's sword.

Seeing this, Zheng Luoqi immediately changed tactics, shifting her attack target to try and cut off Wen Taiwei's hand. However, Wen Taiwei was no pushover, nimbly dodging Zheng Luoqi's attack. Then, Wen Taiwei seized an opportunity, thrusting his spear straight at Zheng Luoqi's face.

Zheng Luoqi reacted quickly, dodging to the side. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wen Taiwei swiftly rose and continued his attack on Zheng Luoqi, brandishing his spear.

Wen Taiwei's moves were all deadly, but Zheng Luoqi was no pushover either. She seized the opportunity to turn defense into offense, forcing Wen Taiwei into a retreat.

Zheng Luoqi's swordsmanship was fierce, and she pressed forward relentlessly, gradually putting Wen Taiwei at a disadvantage.

Suddenly, Zheng Luoqi feigned an opening, drawing Wen Taiwei's spear thrust. Zheng Luoqi dodged to the side, simultaneously wielding her longsword with a fierce swing, the tip aimed straight for Wen Taiwei's throat.

Grand Commandant Wen was startled and quickly leaned back to dodge. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zheng Luoqi stepped forward and kicked Grand Commandant Wen in the chest. Grand Commandant Wen groaned and staggered back.

Zheng Luoqi didn't want to waste any more time, and her attacks became increasingly fierce. In the end, Wen Taiwei gradually became exhausted, which allowed Zheng Luoqi to find an opening. Without hesitation, Zheng Luoqi pierced Wen Taiwei's chest with her sword.

Fearing that Wen Taiwei's death wasn't complete enough, Zheng Luoqi delivered another blow, then severed Wen Taiwei's head. Zheng Luoqi held Wen Taiwei's head high and shouted, "Wen Taiwei is dead! Surrender and you will not be killed!"

After Zheng Luoqi held up Wen Taiwei's head and showed it to everyone, she threw it to the ground. Wen Taiwei's head rolled on the ground, spun around a few times, and then stopped.

The morale of the other soldiers who were still fighting with the Imperial Guards plummeted after seeing that Grand Commandant Wen was gone. Many of them stopped fighting and surrendered one after another.

Zheng Luoqi didn't waste any time in the palace. She found a warhorse, mounted it, quickly picked up Wen Taiwei's head from the ground, and went to meet up with General Pei to quell the rebels outside the city gate.

Then she went to find the other members of the Wen family. Wen Yixuan and Wen Yichuan were still alive. Zheng Luoqi wanted to find them and kill them with her own hands.

Because Shen Jin and the Prince of Huainan arrived in time, General Pei's side was already guaranteed to win. Only after Zheng Luoqi brought Wen Taiwei's head to the city gate did the rebels surrender.

Zheng Luoqi hurriedly asked, "Is there any news about Wen Yixuan and Wen Yichuan?"

The King of Huainan then threw a head to Zheng Luoqi, who saw that it belonged to Wen Yixuan.

For a mere youth like Wen Yixuan to face the Prince of Huainan was suicidal. The Prince of Huainan didn't even give Wen Yixuan a moment to breathe, directly leading 30,000 troops to crush him. Wen Yixuan was utterly helpless in front of the Prince of Huainan.

As for where Wen Yichuan went, Zheng Luoqi heard from Shen Jin that he originally wanted to confront Wen Yichuan directly, but Wen Yichuan suddenly retreated. Before Shen Jin's army could even get close, he had already disappeared.

Zheng Luoqi roughly knew where Wen Yichuan had gone, so she borrowed 30,000 troops from General Pei, along with Pei Wenyu, and took them with her. Then she went to find the other members of the Wen family...

At this moment, Wen Yichuan arrived at the imperial palace with 20,000 troops. Upon receiving the news, the Empress Dowager immediately came out to check. She looked at Wen Yichuan with suspicion and asked, "What are you doing here? Where are your father and cousin?"

"Aunt, where is Xianlin?" Wen Yichuan had barely finished speaking when the Empress Dowager slapped him across the face.

"What are you talking about? Do you know what you're doing? So you've come here to desert?" The Empress Dowager said coldly to Wen Yichuan.
