Boom!
The grenade exploded, and some of the soldiers in front of the city gate were blown away on the spot. Blood flowed everywhere, and the people around were all stunned.
At the same time, Zhao Zilong took the lead and pierced a soldier's chest with his sharp silver spear. Feng Li did not want to fall behind. He swung his sword and a head rolled to the ground.
The two thousand Imperial Army soldiers broke through the gates, their shouts and roars drowning out the entire area. They clearly had the upper hand.
Li Xuan tugged at the reins of his warhorse in an awe-inspiring manner as he looked down from above and berated angrily,""The conflict between the royal family will hurt the fate of the country. I don't want to see the soldiers participate in this bloody battle. All of you are holding weapons. Are you trying to kill me, Li Jiancheng? Do you dare to kill them?"
The deafening words echoed in the hearts of all the soldiers for a long time.
They were afraid.
This was the Crown Prince.
As for whether it was the King of Qin who rebelled or the Crown Prince who raised an army, anyone with discerning eyes could tell. Moreover, Li Yuan was still the Emperor now. What they cared most about was the Emperor's attitude.
Li Er had just taken over the country's government and was not in the right position. Other than those old generals, how could these soldiers not be afraid?
"Today's battle has nothing to do with you. The king of Qin framed me for rebellion. Can you believe it?”
Li Xuan also needed to win over the hearts of the people. With the city gates open, be it the Imperial Army guarding the city or the Imperial Army attacking the city, the battle between the two sides came to a stop.
After all, Zhang Gongjin was dead.
Groups of fully armored soldiers slowly retreated and spread out along Vermilion Bird Avenue.
Li Xuan rode on his warhorse and galloped through the street.""This world is not the world of my Li family alone. It was created by the soldiers who fought on the battlefields littered with corpses to establish a new dynasty and call it Great Tang. His Majesty has ascended the heavens, governed the country, and recruited talents to ensure the safety of the Great Tang and the happiness of the people. Li Shi Min wanted his own benefits and actually made you bleed and sacrifice for him. How can I turn a blind eye?”
Heart of Execution.
This was killing his heart!
The Imperial Army soldiers 'expressions gradually dimmed, their already unstable mentality crumbling.
"Your Highness the King of Qin listened to calumny and ignored the feelings of our compatriots. We fought and stained Chang 'an City with blood. What's more, it endangered the health of Your Majesty's dragon body.”
Li Xuan gripped his gun tightly and stepped into Vermilion Bird Street. He said firmly,""Your Majesty is benevolent and benevolent, and has blessed the world. However, the crafty sycophants are in power and have caused chaos in the imperial court. If I don't stand up for the lives of the people, don't seek happiness for the common people, and don't resolve Your Majesty's worries, how can I stop! Soldiers, am I wrong?”
"No…no…"
"No…"
The soldiers on both sides of the Vermilion Bird Avenue answered meekly.
"I can't hear you…"
With that said, Li Xuan bent down and snatched a Mo Saber from a soldier. He threw it in the middle of the road and said angrily,""Today, Li Jiancheng is here. If the soldiers still believe that this prince is not worthy of this great responsibility and is a scourge to the people, then pick up this knife and take my head. I won't have any complaints…"
The air suddenly froze.
The thousands of soldiers fell into a deathly silence. They began to hesitate, and when they glanced at Li Jiancheng from the corner of their eyes, there was a hint of admiration in their eyes.
"No? Or are you afraid?"
Li Xuan continued to hammer everyone's hearts.
Because he needed an army and military power.
In his previous life, Li Jiancheng had died without the protection of an army. Li Jing had always remained neutral, and the only Luo Yi was still thousands of miles away in Youzhou. He was useless.
But now, Li Xuan was here. He wanted to sit on the throne openly and kill Li Er with great fanfare.
"We pledge our lives to follow the crown prince…"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, followed by a second, a third…
For a moment, a large group of people cupped their fists and knelt on one knee, shouting like an avalanche,"We pledge our lives to follow the crown prince…"
"Good!"
Li Xuan bellowed in satisfaction as he slowly looked up and stared at Taiji Palace thousands of meters ahead. He shouted,""Since that's the case, all soldiers, listen up. Today, I will clear the side of the king and start a massacre to return peace to His Majesty and the people of the world!”
"Clean up the side of the king, start a massacre…"
"Clean up the side of the king, start a massacre…"
A voice that sounded like a mountain torrent rang out from Mingde Sect and spread out like a dark cloud passing through.
At this moment, almost all of the Southern Yamen's imperial guards were in Li Xuan's hands. After all, his status as Crown Prince was an advantage in itself. If he wanted to control them, he just needed to brainwash them.
Vermilion Bird Avenue was five thousand meters long. On both sides of the street were drainage ditches that were one person deep. Further out were residential districts.
The 10,000-strong Imperial Army held bows, Mo Sabers, and spears as they followed behind Li Xuan, heading in the direction of Taiji Palace.
"Your Highness…"
Feng Li followed from behind and said," Out of the 30,000 imperial guards in Chang 'an, we only took 10,000. It seems that we still need a bloody battle."”
"General Feng, you are worrying too much. Today, we will not let the soldiers bleed like a river.”
Li Xuan smiled nonchalantly."" Most of the imperial guards of the North Yamen are defending the palace. We won't enter the palace for now…"
"Not entering the palace?" "Your Highness, are you…" Feng Li was stunned.
Li Xuan stopped his warhorse and looked back with a mysterious smile.""I want to purge the royal side. I want to wash the Zhangsun family with blood. Gah-"
After saying that, he slammed his legs on the horse's back and sped up. He rushed straight towards the Imperial Palace. Feng Li was stunned for a moment and quickly shouted for the army to follow him.
