It was different from the anxious and flustered scene outside.
After the high wall of fire rose.
At this moment, the Duke's estate was exceptionally quiet.
The fire outside the gate was terrifying.
However, there was still a brick wall separating them.
In addition, when Zhang Yan designed this huge Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
He had specially made preparations to prevent thieves from setting fire!
Ditches were dug to prevent fire wherever they were near the wall.
Therefore, even though the wall was burning vigorously, it would not burn the mansion for a while.
However, this was only temporary!
Zhang Yan, who was heartbroken by Li Er, naturally would not leave this mansion to Li Er.
At this moment, various places of the State Guarding Duke were already piled up with straw, sulfur, and other kindling materials.
There were even many hard-to-burn spots that were splashed with alchemical fire oil.
In the northwest corner of the Duke's estate, in an extremely spacious area.
Zhang Yan looked at the raging fire outside the wall!
However, the corners of his mouth revealed a strange arc!
He muttered to himself with some emotion.
"Hehe! It was really funny! I spent a lot of effort to develop this gasoline, which I was prepared to use as a weapon of the Great Tang, but it was actually used to burn my own nest!”
Behind him stood a group of fully armed figures in green light armor!
Exactly 3,000 people!
"Reporting to my lord, the western merchant caravan has sent over seven thousand jars of alchemical fire oil that were originally used for experiments. The rest had been scattered all over the house!”
A white-haired old man dressed as a butler but also fully armed stood respectfully behind Zhang Yan!
She whispered,
"We can move at any time as long as you give the order!”
"How are the arrangements for the family?”
Zhang Yan did not give the order to attack!
Instead, he asked casually from outside the wall with a calm expression.
There was no sign of any ripples in his eyes.
"Sir, after you received the news that His Majesty was going to make a move, you immediately began to set up a plan. Naturally, there would not be any mistakes!”
The butler cupped his hands respectfully.
"Today, the last batch of old and weak people in our family has already left under the leadership of Madam Gongsun! Now, they had arrived at a safe place!”
Zhang Yan had long known that Li Er was wary of him, but he was too lazy to lower himself to Li Er's level, so he chose to retreat!
However, half a month ago, a lowly person that Zhang Yan had arranged in the palace secretly sent a message to Zhang Yan.
He said that Li Er had already developed killing intent towards him and was even probing to launch a coup today to eliminate him.
Only then did Zhang Yan completely lose confidence in Li Er.
On the other hand, he arranged for his family to secretly move to a safe place.
On the other hand, he began to lay out his plans, waiting for Li Er to launch his final attack.
In fact.
These days, he went to court, remonstrated, and went to the palace as usual.
She had "painstakingly" accompanied Li Er to put on a show of "harmony between the monarch and his subjects"!
She pretended to know nothing.
It wasn't to give Li Er face, but to cover for the old, weak, women, and children in the Stabilisation Constabulary!
He also used him to deal with Li Er.
It was even a trump card to take revenge on Li Er for ruining his last bit of hope for the Great Tang!
Bring him into the Duke's estate!
Zhang Yan had many trump cards!
The newly invented gasoline was one! The 3,000 Raven Killer Army that should have been a thing of the past was also a card…
There were even more trump cards that he didn't know if he could use!
Zhang Yan was a cautious person and would never put himself in a dangerous position.
He had already prepared many trump cards. He was destined to let Li Er remember the great terror that had descended upon Chang 'an because of his betrayal today!
"Everyone says that when the birds fly away, the good bow is hidden. When the cunning rabbit dies, the dog is cooked…"
Zhang Yan glanced in the direction of Taiji Palace.
He muttered.
"It's also because I'm used to it. Li Er, oh Li Er, I haven't even finished building this Great Tang, and you're already thinking of killing the donkey when it's done? Where's your brain?"
Zhang Yan muttered to himself while the 3,000 Raven Killer Army soldiers behind him remained silent.
All of them had expressions of agreement with Zhang Yan's words.
"All troops, listen up!"
Suddenly, Zhang Yan's expression turned solemn, and his emotional expression instantly disappeared. In the next second, an irresistible iron-blooded general's aura enveloped him.
He ordered.
"Cover your ears! Crawl! Shield and armor!"
What was that?
Hearing Zhang Yan's serious but somewhat inexplicable order, he was shocked.
Even the three thousand Raven Killer Army soldiers were confused.
However, they were soldiers that Zhang Yan had personally trained.
Obedience to military orders was already engraved in his bones!
Without the slightest hesitation, they all prostrated themselves on the ground and covered their bodies with extremely sturdy and heavy shields.
Everyone was ready according to his instructions.
Zhang Yan nodded in satisfaction.
He took out a bamboo tube that was as thick as a tea bowl and about a foot long.
He sneered and lit the fuse above.
"Tonight will be the key to the Great Tang's ascension from the age of cold weapons to the age of firearms. It will also be the beginning of my reign!”
Whoosh!
