Xiang Da's 12 loyal and brave troops used all their strength to kill the remaining Changlin Army soldiers.
The death of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng was a fatal blow to the Changlin Army.
In addition to the heroic youth who was like a god of death, he charged left and right. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred Changlin soldiers had died under his spear.
Wherever he went, the remnants of the Changlin Army were crushed.
Many of them even dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
Unfortunately, Li Er's Heaven's Policy Army had already gone red with killing, so how could they let go of these merits that were easily obtained?
Therefore, the Changlin Army soldiers who knelt down and begged for mercy died faster and more miserably.
At the same time, the dozens of personal guards of King Qi's estate had been killed and injured, and they had finally carved out a path of blood for Li Yuanji.
"Your Highness King Qi, let's go, ah…"
Li Yuanji was covered in blood from head to toe, from the Heavenly Policy Army, his guards, and of course, his own.
"Li Er, I, Li Yuanji, am irreconcilable with you.”Li Yuanji wiped the blood off his face and shouted ferociously.
After saying that, he wanted to ride his horse away.
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji and was about to give chase when he suddenly remembered that Li Yuanji had fled in the direction of the Qi and Crown Prince residences.
If he were to rashly chase after them, he would be in danger if he encountered the troops from the Qi King's Residence and the Crown Prince's Residence who had come to rescue them.
At that time, he would definitely end up in a desperate situation.
Now, the matter was basically set. If anything happened to him, then the plan he had been plotting for so many years would very likely end up benefiting Li Yuanji.
Thinking of this, Li Er calmed down. He said to Xiang Yu, who was still fighting with the Changlin Army,"Xiang brat, ride Li Jiancheng's Ferghana Horse and kill Li Yuanji for this king.”
When Xiang Yu heard this, she immediately understood. This was an opportunity that Li Er had given her. Not only did it allow him to avenge his father's death, but it also allowed him to make a great contribution.
If he could kill King Qi Li Yuanji, he would be able to avenge his predecessor's father and make a name for himself. After Li Er ascended the throne, he would be able to obtain the title of Duke.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu no longer hesitated. He suddenly gathered his breath and, like a great roc spreading its wings, landed steadily on Li Jiancheng's blood-red Ferghana Horse.
"Giddyup."
Xiang Yu exerted strength in his legs, and the Ferghana Horse beneath him neighed as it raised its hooves and shot like an arrow in the direction where King Qi Li Yuanji had fled.
Taiji Palace, Phoenix Hall.
The tall and imposing Li Yuan was dressed neatly under the service of two beautiful concubines. He was prepared to receive the civil and military officials as usual.
However, when he arrived at the main hall, he only saw a few of his trusted ministers standing in the main hall with frightened expressions.
"Eh, why are there only a few of you? What about the Crown Prince, King Qi, and King Qin? Don't the three of them have something important to ask me to help them?”Li Yuan seemed to have sensed that the atmosphere in the hall was a little off and could not help but ask.
Who knew that Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and the other important officials had terrified expressions and didn't dare to speak.
"You guys…what's going on? Where are the other officials?" Li Yuan's expression was gloomy as he berated again.
"Your Majesty, they…they…they didn't come.”Prime Minister Pei Ji fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
Although Li Yuan had been indulging in wine and women all these years, he was still a wise ruler. He immediately understood something from Pei Ji's words.
Immediately, he collapsed on the dragon throne, closed his heavy eyes, and gritted his teeth."Is it Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin?”
"Yes, it's His Highness the King of Qin's Heavenly Policy Army.”
Li Yuan suppressed his anger and asked,"Where are my royal guards?"”
Hearing the Emperor's shout, a tall and sturdy silver-armored soldier strode out of the hall.
He first bowed and then reported loudly,"I, Li Mengchang, the General of the Right Guard of Tiance, pay my respects to Your Majesty. The commander of the Imperial Guards, Fang Qing, colluded with the rebels and has been executed on the spot.”
Li Yuan's tiger eyes widened as he stood up and glared at the silver-armored general below."You…How, how dare you."
The commander of the Imperial Guards, Fang Qing, was a general who had followed Li Yuan for twenty years. He was loyal and devoted. Who knew that he would actually be killed now? And he, the Emperor of the Great Tang, was powerless in the face of his tragic death.
Li Yuan felt the world spin and his chest was in pain."What a good Erlang, what a good Erlang."
"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body first." Pei Ji and the other officials cried bitterly.
With the help of the eunuch, Li Yuan sat back on the dragon throne.
After all, he was an experienced hero. After calming down, he said gently,"General Li, are you still a subject of the Great Tang?”
"Your Majesty, I swear my loyalty to the Great Tang.”The silver-armored general Li Mengchang said without hesitation.
"Alright, then tell me the truth. Erlang, he…he's preparing to punish his twin brother?”Li Yuan let out a long breath, his eyes filled with anxiety.
"Your Majesty, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are plotting a rebellion. According to the laws of the Great Tang, he should be executed.”Li Mengchang said without hesitation.
"Good, good…His crimes deserve to be punished.”Li Yuan almost fainted again.
At this moment, the old eunuch who was serving Li Yuan looked at Li Mengchang and said,""You traitor, how dare you twist black and white and confuse right and wrong.”
Li Mengchang snorted coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent."How dare a eunuch who brings disaster to the country and the people interfere in the affairs of the court? Someone come."
"Yes." A group of silver-armored Heavenly Policy soldiers immediately barged into the hall.
"Drag him out and beat him to death." Li Mengchang pointed at the old eunuch beside Li Yuan and ordered.
"Yes." The silver-armored Tiance soldier strode forward after receiving the order.
Then, he grabbed the collar of the once high and mighty Chief Eunuch Hu Wei and dragged him out.
"Your Majesty, help! Your Majesty, help!”
Unfortunately, no matter how much the old eunuch shouted, the Tang Emperor, who had once treated him intimately, did not say a word as he was dragged out of the hall.
"Peng peng peng."
"Ah…"
The sound of the royal cane coming from outside the hall continuously filled the eardrums of everyone in the hall.
In just a moment, the Emperor's favorite, the head eunuch Hu Wei, who had always had his eyes on the top of his head and even the Crown Prince had to flatter, was beaten to death outside the hall.
Unfortunately, whether it was the high and mighty Emperor Li Yuan or the few prime ministers in the hall, they did not even dare to say a word. They could only pretend that they did not hear anything and lowered their heads in a daze.
After dealing with the eunuch leader, the silver-armored general, Li Mengchang, walked into the hall again.
He bowed to Emperor Li Yuan, who was sitting on the throne.""This subject has already executed the crafty sycophants in front of Your Majesty.”
Li Yuan looked at the young silver-armored general and took a deep breath.""My beloved minister, you share my worries, so why would I punish you? Li Aiqing had a sharp eye and eradicated evil. He should be rewarded for his meritorious service. He was given the title of Marquis of Jing 'an, a reward of thousands of gold and 10 beautiful maidservants.”
