Li Er jumped onto the horse's back almost without hesitation. He held the reins and began to turn around and run.
There was no way out of the Black Tortoise Gate. He could only choose to escape from the side.
The battle in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate was also gradually coming to an end. The corpses of the Imperial Army soldiers lay on the ground, and their flesh dyed the walls of the Imperial Palace red. Horses trampled on the bodies or blood of the injured soldiers as they chased in Li Er's direction.
"Run!"
Li Xuan clamped his legs on the horse's back and aimed at Li Er's back. Without any hesitation, he fired.
Bang!
Another gunshot rang out as a bullet struck Li Er's back. Blood sprayed out, and he trembled on the horse's back. Hou Junji caught him, but he didn't stop. The horse's hooves picked up speed again.
"Zhao Zilong!"
Upon seeing this, Li Xuan roared worriedly,""Quickly pursue the King of Qin and take his head!”
"Understood!"
At this moment, Zhao Yun's eyes were already red from killing. Her white robe was soaked in the blood of countless Imperial Army soldiers. She swung her silver spear in the air and was about to turn around with the reins when Zhangsun Wuji appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her.
"Your Highness, run, run…"
Zhangsun Wuji grabbed Zhao Zilong's ankle tightly and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"You're courting death!"
Zhao Yun turned the spearhead, and the sharp spear pierced through Zhangsun Wuji's chest. The old man's eyes widened, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out from his mouth. His entire body went limp.
However, that pair of old hands still grabbed Zhao Yun's ankle and spat out blood as he shouted,""Your…Your Highness, run…run…"
Pulling out the spear, Zhao Yun stabbed it into Zhangsun Wuji's neck once more. Half of his head was about to fall off, and his flesh was a bloody mess. Zhangsun Wuji, who had lost his breath, still did not let go of his hands. With every step the Yulan White Dragon Stallion took, Zhangsun Wuji's corpse was dragged along.
Zhao Zilong watched anxiously as Li Er and Hou Junji disappeared into the distance. With a furious roar, he swung his spear down from Zhangsun Wuji's arms.
With a crack, his arms were cut off from his elbows, but his hands were still together.
Zhao Zilong couldn't be bothered anymore. He sped toward Taiji Palace. Just as he entered the palace, hundreds of Imperial Army soldiers charged toward him.
"Yu Yu-"
Zhao Zilong immediately pulled the reins, and the warhorse turned around and left. He began to chase from the other side of Taiji Palace.
At this moment.
Li Er had been shot and was spitting out blood. His red-stained horse jolted as he rode, and Hou Junji held the reins in his hand as he galloped along the streets of Chang 'an.
"Your Highness, Your Highness…"
Hou Junji's face flushed red as he waved his saber and slapped it down on the horse's rear."Bastard! Go…"
The palace was in complete chaos. The palace maids and eunuchs were all in danger. The people outside the palace covered their heads and fled like rats. Except for Taiji Palace, they quickly turned right and ran in the direction of the Great Ming Palace.
The Great Ming Palace was built during the Zhenguan period. At this time, it was only a few dilapidated houses.
After Taiji Palace, the Eastern Palace was on the right, and then the Minfang was on the east. The two warhorses galloped through the streets and alleys, and Hou Junji seemed to have guessed something as he headed straight for Tonghua Gate.
On the other side.
The Black Tortoise Gate had been completely breached. Compared to the battle at the Vermilion Bird Gate, this place was actually much easier.
Feng Li, Xie Shufang, and Xue Wanche led the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Imperial Army as they fought their way over. The cheers of victory filled the three palaces and six courtyards, and the sound of hooves could be heard everywhere.
"General, I'm afraid His Highness the King of Qin has already run away…"
At this moment, a messenger brandished a whip and rode over from the opposite side. Before he arrived, he shouted at Feng Li,"His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that whoever kills the King of Qin will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, a hundred acres of fertile land, and the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry…"
Waves of shouts spread in all directions and reached everyone's ears. The killing intent that had just subsided rose again.
Hearing this, Feng Li frowned and immediately locked onto the Eastern Palace." General Xue, General Xie, you two stay behind to protect the Crown Prince. The rest of you, follow me to pursue the King of Qin. Quick…"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whip landed heavily on the horse's back.
For a moment, shouts and shouts rose to the sky. Feng Li pulled the reins and ran all the way out of the palace.
"Kill the King of Qin, bestow him the title of General…"
The thousands of Golden Guards chanted like a flood. As they ran, they shouted, and their voices spread along the streets, both inside and outside the Imperial City.
At this moment.
In the Imperial Palace, King Qin's Residence.
Hundreds of Imperial Army soldiers were guarding the door tightly. In the middle of the hall stood a woman of twenty-five or twenty-six, her delicate face filled with anxiety. She held a silk handkerchief and stood in front of the hall with a seven or eight-year-old boy beside her.
"Mother, is father fighting a war?”The little boy's tone was childish, and his eyes were confused as he looked around.
Hearing this, the woman's beautiful eyes became even redder. She held the boy in her arms with one hand and said with a tight mouth,"Chengqian, if your father is no longer here, will you be afraid of death?”
"I won't!"
The little boy shook his little head without thinking and said with unusual determination,"Father was killed. As a son, how can I live? I'll be seen as unfilial. I just hope they can spare mother's life!”
If Li Xuan heard this, how comical would it be?
This was because Li Jiancheng's son had said the same thing in history.
"Good boy!"
The tears in the woman's eyes became even more intense. She held the child tightly in her arms and said heavily,"If your father is no longer around, Mother will also go with you to see him.”
"Mother!" The little boy suddenly reacted and looked up at the woman."Who killed Father? Is it Uncle Huang?"
