Chapter 990: 455: Ex-lover turns informer! Caught in a single sweep!_3

Without these generals leading the way, the soldiers of the City Defense Army would never have been able to rebel.

If the City Defense Army does not rebel, the Temple Army naturally cannot take advantage of the chaos.

However, if that happens, father and son Yuwen Gai are bound to die. My own father, Viscount Ye Jin, and Ye Feidie, who reported the merits, should be able to save a life.

On one side was the man she once loved, and on the other side were her husband and father-in-law.

It was indeed a difficult choice, and in recent months, Yuwen Fa seemed to realize his immaturity, drove away the women of the house, and frequently came to ask Ye Feidie to soften her words, hoping she would return home.

They also talked about how both weren’t young anymore, and should start a family.

What choice should she make? Help her lover, or help her husband?

Taking a deep breath, biting her teeth fiercely, Ye Feidie secretly slipped out of Yuwen’s residence and headed towards the royal palace.

In the end, she decided to help her lover and kill her own husband!

Two quarters of an hour later...

Ye Feidie was brought by Zhuang Zhixuan into the royal palace, and upon seeing Suo Lun, she hurriedly said: "Quick, the generals of the City Defense Army are secretly meeting, preparing to rebel and cause trouble!"

Suo Lun stood up abruptly and said: "Where?"

Ye Feidie quickly replied: "South of the city, Baiyun District, Fengguang Courtyard!"

Suo Lun made a decisive decision, ordering the Forbidden Army’s Commander Hei Ningqi to lead hundreds of Imperial Guards, hundreds of Shadow Cabinet Warriors, and thousands of elite soldiers quickly to the south of the city, Baiyun District!

...

In the south of the city, Baiyun District, Fengguang Courtyard.

Inside the secret stronghold of the City Defense Army!

Young Master Fang Qingyi of Yin Zhou has finally made his appearance.

Normally, even Yuwen Gai didn’t have the right to meet this high and mighty Young Master of Yin Zhou, as he was the behind-the-scenes controller standing behind Zhi Li.

Also, Fang Qingyi was the great financial god of the City Defense Army, the secret sponsor.

"Greetings to His Excellency the Young Lord of Yin Zhou!" Led by Yuwen Gai, the generals of the City Defense Army knelt down in full attendance.

Fang Qingyi coldly said, "You must start the uprising early. Fifteen thousand troops of the Sanctuary Legion are already disguised and ready to join the battle."

Yuwen Gai said: "Your Excellency, shouldn’t we wait for the rich nobles’ private armies to strike first? Take advantage of the great chaos in the royal city to then rise up?"

Fang Qingyi replied: "We cannot depend on these royal city nobles anymore. Suo Lun has found the Gold Coin reserves, and won’t be looting the houses extensively."

Upon hearing this, the audience was horrified.

Originally, they were counting on the nobles of the royal city to rebel first. Their house slaves and estate guards together amounted to more than a hundred thousand people.

With these hundred thousand people at the front, the City Defense Army would have the confidence to rebel. Directly facing sixty thousand Imperial Guards? Without a doubt, it was certain death, not even if they were given ten times the courage!

Fang Qingyi continued: "With fifteen thousand troops of the Sanctuary Legion joining, what have you to fear? And do you even have a choice? Suo Lun is already sharpening his knives, just waiting to chop off your heads. You are at a dead end; you can only fight to the death!"

Yuwen Gai calmly said: "Lord Fang is right. Between us and Suo Lun, it’s either he dies or we perish! The Sanctuary Legion, the elite of the world, can battle three times their number. With them joining, what do we have to fear? Moreover, once we start the battle, the entire royal city will fall into complete chaos, those nobles will then take advantage of the situation to join in the fray to kill Suo Lun. After all, if he doesn’t confiscate properties today, he may still do so tomorrow!"

"Exactly, if our heads are chopped off, at worst we’ll just leave a bowl-sized scar."

"To kill Suo Lun, to struggle against Zhi Yan!"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Gai immediately became furious and said: "Shut up, after rising in rebellion, we can only have one slogan, ’To cleanse the king’s side, kill Suo Lun!’"

"To cleanse the king’s side, kill Suo Lun!"

However, at this moment...

A force of six thousand Imperial Guards quickly surrounded this secret stronghold in a circular formation.
