The ninth year of the Great Tang's Martial Virtue Era, the second day of the seventh month, dawn.
In front of the Black Tortoise Gate.
" Listen up, the Crown Prince and King Qi have attempted to rebel and have been killed by His Highness the King of Qin. If anyone dares to act rashly again, they will be executed as traitors…"
" It's time for the morning court session. I'm sure His Majesty has been alerted. Your Highness, please hurry to the court. Leave this to me…"
"No! Now that things have come to this, I suggest that His Highness the King of Qin should go to the Eastern Palace and cut the weeds…remove the roots!”
Noisy sounds rang in his ears as the sleeping Li Xuan opened his eyes.
It was dawn, and the sky was hazy. Torches surrounded them, and soldiers in armor carried bows and swords on their backs as they rode tall horses.
The entire scene was in chaos.
Vaguely, the heavily injured Li Xuan saw all of this and was completely dumbfounded.
Where the hell was this? Just as he was about to move, he felt a burning pain in his chest. He glanced at it from the corner of his eye and saw that a bloody arrow had pierced through his body.
It hurt! It really hurt!
This wasn't a dream.
An intense sense of danger spread throughout his body. Li Xuan pretended to be dead and subconsciously closed his eyes. He wanted to continue maintaining this state. He had to figure out what was going on.
The voice sounded again.
"Lord Zhangsun is right. If we don't get rid of the root of the problem today, there will be endless future troubles. Your Highness, please quickly order people to go to the Eastern Palace and King Qi's residence!”
" The Crown Prince has five sons. If we don't get rid of them today, they will all be a great disaster, Your Highness…"
"The foundation of the Great Tang is not stable yet. We must not be in chaos. We cannot delay this. Your Highness, please listen to us!”
As they spoke, the group of people suddenly swung their arms, cupped their fists, and bowed solemnly.
Under the light of the torches, Li Shi Min's face was flushed red. He gritted his teeth excitedly and said,"Today, thanks to the help of all the brothers, Li Shi Min will never forget. Everyone, listen up! Zhangsun Wuji is ordered to head to the Eastern Palace and kill all the Crown Prince's trusted sons!”
"Order Hou Junji to quickly head to the Qi King's estate.”
"Order Jing De to quickly head to Taiji Palace and guard the entrance. Without my orders, no one is allowed to enter or leave!”
"We accept your orders!"
A loud voice suddenly sounded, as if it had covered the smell of blood in the air.
Everyone quickly dispersed. Yuchi Gong turned around with the blood saber in his hand. Without saying a word, he walked to a corpse and slashed at its head. In an instant, the head rolled down.
This scene fell into Li Xuan's line of sight.
He panicked!
Ten thousand curses ran through his heart. From the conversation just now, he could tell that he had transmigrated to the damned Tang Dynasty. This was the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Corpses were strewn all over the place, and blood flowed like a river. Yuchi Gong had chopped off Li Yuanji's head with his saber.
As for himself, he was wearing a golden robe with a silky texture. This was definitely the f * cking Crown Prince, Li Jiancheng.
Yes, that's right.
I've transmigrated, that damned Li Jiancheng!
In his hazy vision, Yuchi Gong walked towards him. He was tall and sturdy, and his rough hand was tightly holding a long knife that was dripping with blood.
"System? What about the system? F * ck, why didn't he have a system when he transmigrated?”
Li Xuan's heart nearly jumped to his throat. Thankfully, the sky was dark and the surrounding Imperial Army soldiers had dispersed. No one noticed his breathing.
No, he had to run!
It was getting closer, Yuchi Gong was getting closer and closer!
Glancing in the direction of the palace gates, he saw that more than half of the Imperial Army had already been taken away. The defense was lax, and he could not afford to delay now.
Run!
With a steeled heart, Li Xuan endured the tearing pain from his wound and got up. He snatched a spear from the ground and turned to run out of the palace gates.
"Not good! The Crown Prince is not dead…"
The quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken by this voice, and the entire scene instantly fell into chaos.
"Move aside! Move aside!"
The Imperial Army guards were also dumbfounded. Kill the Crown Prince? They wouldn't dare to do so even if they were given a hundred guts. Before they could react, Li Xuan pushed everyone away and rushed to the side of the road. He grabbed a reins and leaped onto his horse before sprinting away.
The entire process was abnormally fast!
"Hurry up and chase!"
The sudden change was completely out of Yuchi Gong's expectations. He cursed,""Good-for-Nothing, quickly bring me the arrow!”
The scene fell into an extreme panic. Yuchi Gong quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow. He cursed angrily, snatched a warhorse, jumped on it, and shouted,"Those who kill the Crown Prince will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. Come with me quickly!"
With this order, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly gathered around.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?”
No one had expected this, and Hou Junji and the others panicked. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others rushed up to Li Er and anxiously said,"Leave this place to us. Your Highness the King of Qin, quickly go and see His Majesty and report the Crown Prince's attempt to force the abdication to His Majesty. Otherwise, we will be doomed!”
"If I, Li Shi Min, don't kill the Crown Prince today, King Qi will end up like me in the future!”
Li Shi Min had been fighting in the battlefield for many years, and he had a barbarian bloodline. He waved his hand, picked up his bow and arrow, and mounted his horse."I'll leave Imperial Father to you. Hou Junji and the others have come with me to kill the Crown Prince.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed his legs together, and the warhorse neighed as he galloped out of the palace gate.
