Xie Yu ran all the way to the outer Imperial City wall.
The Chief Eunuch and the close bodyguards were running so fast they were panting for breath.
"Your… Your Majesty, please slow down a little!"
But Xie Yu's cold eyes were filled with shock as he looked down outside the wall.
The Regent King and Yuan Zhen, father and son, were leading their private soldiers in a fierce battle against a troop of Iron Cavalry of unknown origin.
"It really is them…" Xie Yu could hardly believe it.
The confidant Ministers who had rushed over were also quite stunned.
They muttered in low voices—
"Wasn't the Regent King going to rebel?"
"Yeah, why is he suddenly defending the Imperial City?"
Xie Yu saw that although the Iron Cavalry had no commander, their formation shifted unpredictably.
Very soon, the Regent King and Yuan Zhen were defeated.
Judging from Yuan Zhen's sluggish reactions, he seemed to be wounded.
