Qin Qiong had been defeated. When Li Xuan and company exited Chongren Lane, they saw Qin Qiong being single-handedly held by Zhao Zilong with a look of reluctance.
Actually, it was not strange.
At this moment, Qin Qiong had been fighting for many years and had long been injured. In addition, he did not have enough confidence to resist the Crown Prince. It would be strange if he did not lose.
With a clang, Li Xuan threw Zhangsun Chong's head over.""The Zhangsun family has been exterminated. Does General Qin want to sacrifice his own life?”
Upon hearing that, Qin Qiong, who was kneeling on the ground, was alarmed as he looked at Li Xuan in a daze.""You…"
"I know that the families of many of the generals and officials under the King of Qin live here. Since you dared to launch a palace coup against this highness and King Qi, you must have expected this, right? I consider that you are all old ministers of the previous dynasty and have followed my father to fight against the rebels for many years. You have made many contributions, so I gave you time to consider.”
Li Xuan reached out and used the Mo Saber to lift Zhangsun Chong's head.""But Father is probably under house arrest by the King of Qin. How can I sit and wait for death? My wife and children are in the hands of the King of Qin, so our patience is limited. If you don't open the palace gates before dark, I will wash Chongren Lane with blood and kill all the officials of the three provinces and six departments.”
"Your Highness, have you thought about the consequences of your actions?”
Qin Qiong raised his head aggrievedly, looking like he wanted to grit his teeth so badly that they would shatter.
"Consequences?"
Li Xuan sneered disdainfully as he suddenly pointed his Mo Saber at the palace.""King Qi's head is the price for all of this. Even a prince was killed by you, and you want me to consider the consequences? Don't you think this is the biggest joke in the world?”
Li Er used the method of holding the emperor to order the vassals to resist Li Jiancheng and consolidate the throne.
Li Xuan could only choose to kill the officials 'families and force the officials to rebel against Li Er to save everything.
A baptism of blood and saber, a battle that shocked the world gradually began. Li Xuan wasn't afraid. He was a transmigrator. At most, he would die again after killing him. He might even transmigrate back.
Who would want to stay in this damned place?
Qin Qiong cowered as the thousands of imperial soldiers under his command were easily disarmed and surrendered to Li Xuan. He carried Zhangsun Chong's head alone and entered the palace.
It was already noon. The sun was shining brightly, covering the entire Chang 'an City. The temperature began to rise.
Apart from Hou Junji and Cheng Yaojin, who still had some of the 30,000 Imperial Army soldiers, the remaining 17,000 or 18,000 had been subdued by Li Xuan. In addition, he was already Crown Prince, and he had the slogan of not letting the soldiers bleed. This had won him far too many hearts.
The extermination and massacre of the sect, coupled with kindness and might, were handled very well by Li Xuan.
…………
In the Imperial Palace.
Hou Junji and Cheng Yaojin could see Qin Qiong from afar, and the palace gates opened to welcome him.
However, he saw that the bag in Qin Qiong's hand was still dripping with blood. His face was filled with horror."Uncle Bao, what is this?"
"Zhangsun Chong's head!"
Before Qin Qiong could finish speaking, Hou Junji and Cheng Yaojin's expressions changed again, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets."You…His Highness the Crown Prince is going to…annihilate the Zhangsun Clan?”
Qin Qiong gritted his teeth and fiercely nodded.""I'm afraid my family won't live long. In addition, your families have also been arrested by the Crown Prince. If we don't open the palace gates before nightfall…"
As he spoke, Qin Qiong raised the bloody head.""This is an example!"
"This…"
Cheng Yaojin and the other man were completely speechless as they watched Qin Qiong head towards Taiji Palace in a daze.
Hou Junji couldn't remain calm anymore. He rushed forward to stop her."You mustn't. The King of Qin needs to stabilize the hearts of the people. If we tell Your Highness now, I'm afraid…I'm afraid all our efforts today will be in vain!”
"Do you still think we have a tomorrow?”、
"Do you have any chance of winning other than the Imperial Palace?" Qin Qiong laughed coldly.”
"This…"
Hou Junji was once again speechless.
"Ever since Li Jiancheng escaped from the Black Tortoise Sect, we have no way out. Moreover, he was the Crown Prince. Who in the Imperial Army in Chang 'an dared to disobey him? The King of Qin is determined to seize the throne. We will all follow him and fight…"
As he spoke, Qin Qiong's expression became more and more gloomy. He looked worriedly in the direction of Chongren Square."But now, I'm willing to exchange one person's head for the lives of my entire family.”
He was old.
After the battle of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, his old illness had become more and more painful every day. Now, he only hoped that his child could survive.
Qin Qiong held Zhangsun Chong's head tightly and stepped into Taiji Palace. All the officials turned around and looked at him as if he was a monster.
On the dragon throne, Li Er's expression was uneasy. His gaze fell on the package in Qin Qiong's hand and he stood up with a whoosh."Did you take the Crown Prince's head?"
Qin Qiong's entire body trembled, and he was stunned. He shook his head, and with both hands holding that bloody package, he handed it over to Zhangsun Wuji.
"This…"
Zhangsun Wuji was still in a daze. He took the package and slowly opened it. In the next second, his head jerked up and he almost fell to the ground. He roared hoarsely,"Ahhh…Ahhh…"
Qin Qiong took a deep breath and turned around. He cupped his fists and bowed to Li Er."The Crown Prince imprisoned all of us and killed all forty-four people in Lord Zhangsun's residence. Your Highness, if we don't leave the palace…"
"Enough!"
Li Er didn't need to think to know what he was going to say next. He slapped the table in anger, veins popping out on his face, and his eyes were malicious."General Qin, when did you become the Crown Prince's messenger?”
