"Hmm…Their wine will definitely taste better…"
Zhangsun Wuhen narrowed his eyes as he spoke drunkenly.
"Brother Wuhen is drunk, haha…"
Li Jiancheng's expression softened slightly as he took back the wine glass and smiled at Li Shimin,
"Second Younger Brother, don't blame me.”
"Come, come, come. Second brother, fourth brother, drink to the brim!”
This was the third invitation. Li Shiming glanced at Zhangsun Wuhen and saw his drunkard appearance. He felt a little helpless.
Greedy drinking is a mistake!
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the three of them clinked their glasses. The Crown Prince and King Qi downed the wine in one gulp, and Li Shi Min had no choice but to drink his fill.
After drinking the wine, he knew that he could not stay here for long, so he quickly cupped his hands and said,
"Eldest Brother, Fourth Brother, Wuhen is drunk. I have to send him home, or else my wife will complain.”
When Li Jiancheng heard this, he pretended to be reluctant and said,
"It's not easy for us brothers to meet again. I wonder when we'll meet again.”
"Today's reunion has really made me feel a lot of emotions. How many people have been as close as us since ancient times? In the future, it would definitely be recorded in the history books!”
"…Yes, Second Brother. I can't bear to part with you either!"”
Although they were all in Chang 'an, they each had their own matters to attend to. They had met many times in public, but they rarely had such private gatherings.
It was reasonable to be so reluctant.
Seeing this, Li Shi Min seemed to be moved, his eyes turning red as he said emotionally,
"What's so difficult about gathering? Eldest Brother, Fourth Brother, when you have time in a few days, I will definitely invite you to my residence for a gathering!”
"At that time, let's reminisce!"
The three of them bowed to each other and took their leave. A row of maids waited on them as they escorted Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuhen out of the Qi Mansion.
Inside the main hall, the light and shadow were dim and unclear, and there was a sense of silence and killing intent.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji looked at each other. The warmth on their faces had disappeared, replaced by coldness.
"That idiot from the Zhangsun Clan almost ruined our plans!”
Li Yuanji sneered and shouted.
"Just drink the last cup of wine. Did you put the right things in it?”
Li Jiancheng quietly sat down and said indifferently.
"Don't worry! 50% knockout powder, 30% laxative, and 20% berserk medicine.”
Li Yuanji smiled coldly and said proudly,
"Not much, but enough to make him lose his will and combat ability! Tonight, let him enjoy himself, my good second brother!”
This was a mixed poison!
"Imperial Father…has the imperial edict been invited? Have you brought the commander's seal?"
Li Jiancheng's expression remained indifferent as he spoke casually.
"The imperial edict has already been prepared. Eunuch Liu is already waiting outside the Heavenly Policy Manor! And the commander's seal."
Li Yuanji took out an object from his bosom and waved it in front of Li Jiancheng.
"3,000 Imperial Army soldiers are enough to turn him into meat paste!”
" The Imperial Army is lying in ambush at Xuanwu Gate. Once he steps in, he'll…"
He made a beheading gesture, clean and crisp.
Everything was ready, waiting for Li Shimin to walk right into the trap!
"Well done."
Li Jiancheng nodded and suddenly said,
"Do you think he will suspect us of the assassination? When I saw his expression just now, although it was normal…I felt that something was wrong.”
He knew that he had done it flawlessly.
However, this second brother of his was too strong. Before everything was settled, he would not be at ease.
"Impossible! After I finished this, everyone was secretly cleaned up by me. All the family members and friends of the five assassins were wiped out. It was impossible for him to find out about us!”
Li Yuanji said firmly, then laughed impudently.
"Even if I know, so what? Tonight was the day of his death! He should worry about himself first!”
A trace of killing intent burst out from his body. That kind of attitude that didn't recognize anyone was terrifying.
Li Jiancheng was silent for a long time before he sighed and said,
"With today's matter, the crime of us killing our brothers in the future history books will be confirmed! Such a stain made people unhappy.”
"If I wasn't forced to…I really wouldn't want to kill my own brothers. Besides, the Turks are eyeing us like tigers. He has quite a talented commander and many good generals under him…"
His words made Li Yuanji snort coldly and say contemptuously,"
"Those who achieve great things will kill their loved ones! Why was Big Brother being so soft-hearted at this moment?”
"Besides, this is not just our wish. It's also Imperial Father's wish! Otherwise, how could we get the imperial edict and transfer the commander's seal?”
He paused for a moment and said,
"If you want to blame someone, blame Li Shiming for being too powerful! Big brother, think about it, how many generals were trained by him? His actual control over the army has long surpassed our imagination!”
"How long has it been since he returned to Chang 'an? The operations of all parties are almost catching up to our many years of layout! If we give him more time, we, even Father, will be like grasshoppers in front of him. Do you know that?”
Li Jiancheng was speechless.
His speech scared him so much that he broke out in cold sweat.
"As for the Turks? Hehe, without Li Shiming, we can't win the war? I don't think so!"
Li Yuanji said in a loud voice,
"As for those good generals, their first allegiance is to the Great Tang, not Li Shiming! If Li Shiming died, they would have to submit to him obediently if they wanted to keep their wealth! At that time, they would all be sinners. If they were to be bribed at will, would they be afraid that they would be disloyal?”
"So, big brother, don't be soft-hearted anymore! It was better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. Hurry up and give the order!”
He urged Li Jiancheng, making his slightly hesitant heart instantly firm up.
"…Alright! Fourth brother, you're right. Without Li Shiming, it's more beneficial for us! If we don't kill him now, he will kill us in the future!”
Li Jiancheng steeled his heart. His gaze was cold and sharp. He suddenly stood up and ordered,
"Pass down the orders! Prepare everything. We'll leave for the Black Tortoise Sect immediately!”
"Since ancient times, the royal family has no brothers. Second brother, you can only blame yourself for not being capable enough.”
"Let's go!"
Li Yuanji and the other core aides responded to his shout and headed to the Black Tortoise Sect!
All day long, he had set up a trap, but in the morning, he had closed the net!
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was destined to be an extraordinary night.
This parallel world would obviously bring Zhangsun Wuhen even more surprises…
