The Truth Was Exposed. Didn't the Rebellion Start a Long Time ago?
Hou Junji's twenty thousand elite soldiers had all been killed.
At this moment, these 20,000 corpses were piled up. Then, a fire was set on these corpses. The flames soared into the sky, and the stench of blood assaulted their faces.
Hou Junji's heart trembled in fear.
He really did not expect this outcome.
He had clearly received a secret edict to make a great contribution.
But who would have thought that it would turn out like this.
He hadn't even taken any action, but in the end, his entire army had been wiped out, leaving behind a trash like him who had both his arms cut off.
All of this terrified him, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Li Ke sat on a rock and chuckled at Hou Junji."Hou Junji, long time no see. When was the last time we met?”
Li Ke's face was filled with a gentle smile. It was as if he was greeting an old acquaintance. It was very warm.
But this warmth was even more terrifying to Hou Junji than the whisper of the Grim Reaper.
In Hou Junji's eyes, Li Ke was like a demon.
"Oh, I remember now."
Li Ke said," The last time we met was in the court of the Supreme Court. At that time, I was framed by Li Chengqian and Zhangsun Wuji. I needed witnesses to prove my rebellion. And you were the first to stand up."”
" At that time, you were really valiant. You stood in the court and pointed out the country. You nailed this king to the pillar of rebellion, making this king unable to turn over a new leaf. Then…"
Li Ke picked up his dagger and lightly patted Hou Junji's face."At that time, would you have thought that you would have this day?”
Hou Junji gulped, his eyes filled with panic."Li Ke, do you know what you are doing now? Quickly release this official, and this official will put in a good word for you in front of His Majesty. Perhaps you can still be saved. Otherwise, you're dead for sure.”
"Let you go quickly?"
Li Ke chuckled. His face still had that gentle smile, just like when he pinched Li Chengqian to death, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
"Hou Junji, you're not an idiot, are you? So why would you have such a stupid idea? Or do you think that this king is very stupid and that the imperial court will really let this king go?”
"Li Ke, do you know that this is a rebellion?？”Hou Junji roared.
Li Ke smiled even more,"Didn't you already judge this king as a traitor?" Why are you not sure now?”
"I…"
Hou Junji's eyes went wide as he looked at Li Ke."You, you really want to rebel?"
Although Li Ke's intention to oppose the Imperial Court was clear, Hou Junji still did not believe that Li Ke would dare to rebel. After all, if he did, he would be wiped out by the Imperial Court's army. With Li Ke's current strength, encountering the Imperial Court's army was like hitting an egg against a rock.
Therefore, he would rather believe that Li Ke was thinking of a way to return to the Imperial Court and regain Li Shimin's favor than to believe that Li Ke had the guts to rebel.
Li Ke lightly cut Hou Junji's face with his dagger, causing Hou Junji to cry out in pain.
"Oh, sorry, my hand slipped.”
Li Ke apologized insincerely and then drew another stone.
Hou Junji was speechless.
He said," This King isn't someone who likes to be framed, and this King doesn't like to explain to people this King looks down on. So, rather than doing this, it's better to let that matter become true."”
"That is why the so-called rebellion had already begun on that day. It's just that you fools thought that you were framing this king and were still complacent. However, how could you know that this king's plan had already begun?”
Hou Junji's eyes went wide as he turned to Li Ke.
Li Ke still said in a calm tone,""That's why this king escaped without any suspense, and that's why Li Chengqian died.”
"Do you really think all of this is a coincidence? Was it because this king was in a panic?"
"No!"
Li Ke shook his head and said," That was all in my plan. Even what my father, who had no kinship, would do was within my expectations. So I went to save Lizhou, so I gave out porridge to help the people... but there was one thing that I didn't expect.”
"What is it?" Hou Junji asked.
Li Ke looked at Hou Junji with a half-smile."I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to have an impulse with the refugees. I also didn't expect my father to be so stupid as to suppress the people and cause them to riot.”
"If not, it would be at most thirty to forty percent of these refugees coming to Yizhou. However, your help has forced all the refugees to come. You are really good helpers for this king!”
Hou Junji couldn't help but turn pale at Li Ke's words.
His entire face was in pain.
And this face, it wasn't Li Ke who took the initiative to slap, but he himself offered it up and took the initiative to be slapped.
Hou Junji wished he could find a hole to hide in.
But Hou Junji suddenly thought of something and turned to Li Ke."You, how did you ambush us here? How did you know we were here? Our actions were clearly very secretive!”
This was what Hou Junji couldn't understand the most. How had Li Ke been able to track him and ambush him?
When Li Ke heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He smiled very happily."It's very simple. Because you can come here, that method…was all this king's idea.”
Shua!
Hou Junji's eyes went wide.
His entire person seemed to have been struck by lightning as he suddenly stood there in a daze.
At this moment, Hou Junji seemed to have been enlightened.
He suddenly understood many things.
However, the more he knew about these things, the more terrified he became.
In the end, Hou Junji's entire body was covered in cold sweat and terror….
