"Ang!"
Then, a dragon's roar exploded in everyone's ears.
Dragon Roar to the Nine Heavens, forcing everyone back!
Above Zhangsun Min, a faint golden mist soared into the sky like a flood dragon and disappeared in an instant.
"What?"
Li Shi Min was shocked when he saw this. Empress Zhangsun took the opportunity to break free from his hand and regained her sight. She looked down at her brother.
At this moment.
The sound of swords clashing rang out once again, and the flames of war burned again.
No one had expected Duke Xiaoyao to suddenly have strength this time.
Was he pretending just now?
It didn't seem like it!
What they didn't know was that the Dragon Abyss Sword in Zhangsun Minzhi's hand was also known as the " Seven-star Dragon Abyss Sword." There were seven concaved stars on the sword body, and the stars were the blood grooves.
When the seven blood tanks were filled with blood, it would make the Dragon Abyss bloodthirsty.
The power of the blood essence of the five thousand Imperial Army soldiers he had killed was slowly accumulating in his blood tanks.
Finally, seven HP bars were filled up.
The blood trough transported the power of the blood essence to the sword hilt, Zhangsun Minzhi's right hand, and even his entire body.
Naturally, it had an endless stream of power.
......
Li Shi Min was so angry that his face turned ashen. He roared,"Kill them! This was the last moment of his life. He could not hold on for long!”
The royal guards believed him!
However, as they fought, the lives of the royal guards were harvested like rice.
When Li Shi Min saw this scene, his face showed a pained expression.
A moment later.
The remaining 10,000 Royal Guards felt their hearts collapse.
Duke Xiaoyao was not like a dying man, he was like a tiger that had escaped from its cage.
At this moment, they began to doubt His Majesty's orders.
Why did he have to go against this ferocious tiger?
Duke Xiaoyao became more and more courageous as he fought. He seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of strength, like a god that had descended to the mortal world.
Every step he took towards the Taiji Sect, Li Shiming's face turned uglier.
Beyond the Taiji Sect was the outer court, where the three provinces and six ministries were established and where the ministers of the court held their business meetings.
To the south of the outer court was the Vermillion Bird Gate, which was the last gate of the imperial palace.
After leaving the palace, Zhangsun Minzhi was like a fish in the sea or a bird in the sky.
Moreover, if they couldn't stop Zhangsun Minzhi, the news would spread and the entire court would laugh at Li Shiming.
Where is my face?
Empress Zhangsun wiped away her tears and muttered to herself,""Father and mother are blessed by the gods, bless Minzhi!”
Li Shi Min glared at her fiercely. He even had an evil thought of using Empress Zhangsun to threaten Zhangsun Minzhi.
But wouldn't this be admitting to the world that I'm afraid of Zhangsun Minzhi?
Everything was out of control!
Looking at Zhangsun Minzhi, who had endless power, Li Shiming finally felt a little scared.
The sky was about to collapse!
Duke Xiaoyao was like a hot knife through butter as he killed his way to the Taiji Sect. Then, he used the Dragon Abyss as a ladder to cross the thirty-foot-high palace wall and arrived at the outer court.
The Dew Palace, the Two Elements Sect, the Taiji Palace, and the Taiji Sect had all been defeated. This was Zhangsun Minzhi's counterattack, and it had humiliated the Tang Emperor.
Why not die obediently?
You have to force me!
Li Shi Min went crazy and roared,"Everyone, go to the outer court and stop him!"”
After saying that, he felt very tired, as if all the strength in his body was about to be sucked out!
The rain began to fall again.
......
In the outer court.
The three provinces and six departments were established here.
Even though the sky was already dark, the lights in the yamen of the three provinces and six ministries were still on, and there were people moving around.
The next day, the Turkic army would plunder Jingyang City and would most likely attack Chang 'an City from the south. Therefore, more than 300 ministers in the court were still at their posts, gathering materials and armaments.
Because Li Shimin had ordered the harem to be under martial law, several palace gates were sealed, and news was not allowed to spread. Therefore, the civil and military officials of the outer court were still unaware of the bloody battle that had taken place in the inner palace.
Outside the court, in the government affairs hall.
This was the central command center of the Tang Empire, where good officials and famous generals gathered to deliver various decrees.
The ministers weren't very confident either. They had discussed a plan to confuse the soldiers, but if the plan was seen through by Jie Li Khan, they could only defend the city and fight!
"Alas, I wonder if Chang 'an Fortress will be safe tomorrow!”
" Fortunately, Yuchi Jingde will be able to lead 10,000 remnants into Chang 'an tonight.”
" There are 60,000 City Defense Army in Chang 'an City, 20,000 of which are Imperial Army. I'm afraid that His Majesty will also send 20,000 Imperial Army to guard the city wall.”
Little did they know that half of the 20,000 soldiers had already been destroyed by Li Shiming.
" Duke Xiaoyao's stirrups will add another 20,000 cavalrymen to Chang 'an. Although these cavalrymen have only been trained for one or two years, it's better than nothing! Wuji, you have a good brother!"
"Duke Xiaoyao is lazy and has offended His Majesty today.”Zhangsun Wuji thought of his younger brother. One must know that accompanying the ruler was like accompanying a tiger. How could his younger brother accompany the ruler with his personality?
He only felt that one day in the future, the Zhangsun Clan would be in danger!
However, everyone did not mind. How could His Majesty be such a calculative person?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Wei Zheng, Xue Wanche and the others for his own use.
Zhangsun Minzhi was just a bit too bold to reject His Majesty's appointment of the Longxiang Marquis, and he didn't have any plans to deal with the Turks going south.
In terms of strategy, the civil officials and strategists in the Political Affairs Hall had to brainstorm to come up with a plan to confuse the soldiers.
They, the group of old fellows, couldn't think of a good plan.
Duke Xiaoyao was only a young man, so wasn't it normal that he couldn't figure it out?
Why would His Majesty blame him for this?
Zhangsun Wuji secretly shook his head. The key was that His Majesty had too high expectations of Zhangsun Minzhi.
Then, hearing the sound of raindrops, Zhangsun Wuji raised his head and looked out the window." Rain, why is it raining again?”
Suddenly, there was a faint shout from the direction of the Taiji Sect.
At this moment, a guard ran into the Political Affairs Hall in a panic and said to the Prime Ministers,"
"His Majesty has ordered the ministers to mobilize the Imperial Army in the palace to eliminate the traitors!”
" Traitor?!"
All the ministers exclaimed. Who was rebelling?
The guard looked at Zhangsun Wuji timidly and swallowed his saliva."Deputy Xiaoyao, traitor, Zhangsun Minzhi. This thief's crime was unforgivable. He slaughtered 6,000 imperial guards and killed his way from the Dew Palace to the outer court.
As the guard spoke, he did not believe what he said. However, it was news from the harem, so he could only recite it according to the book.
Slaughter six thousand Imperial Army soldiers?
Even the Turkic army would need at least twenty thousand elites to accomplish this.
Slaughter wasn't crushing them, but killing them one by one!
Dew Palace attacked the outer court?
The Dew Palace was the Emperor's sleeping quarters. It was located in the forbidden palace and was surrounded by the most elite troops of the Tang Empire.
These two places had six to seven palace gates and two to three palaces.
No one dared to believe it!
More importantly, this traitor was Duke Xiaoyao, Zhangsun Minzhi.
Unbelievable! Even Zhangsun Wuji, who hated Zhangsun Minzhi, did not believe it. He shouted coldly,"Men, bring this person who is spreading nonsense out and execute him!”
The guards were terrified. At this moment, the Emperor's personal eunuch, Eunuch Duan, walked in and explained the whole story. He also expressed that the Emperor was in a fit of anger and hoped that the ministers would go and dissuade the Emperor.
The ministers were shocked!
