The old man spoke very simply and decisively.
At the same time, it was filled with grief and indignation.
He really couldn't imagine that he had followed her all his life.
The wise and mighty Li Er who had accompanied him to conquer the world.
Why did it suddenly become like this?
Hearing the old man's words, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were all shocked.
Their expressions changed drastically!
They waved their sleeves in unison to cover their faces and eyes.
It was not only because she was reprimanded and questioned by the old man, but also because she did not dare to face his questioning.
More importantly, they knew!
Because of Zhang Yan.
At this moment, Li Er was in a terrifying state.
The slightest spark would cause an explosion.
The old man's words were ruthless, heavy, and without any leeway.
It was no different from a pot of boiling oil being poured on Li Er's head.
No one knew better than them how terrifying a berserk golden dragon could be.
At this moment, Li Er was in a state where he could explode at any moment, or even eat people.
Even if Qin Qiong worked hard and had high merits, he was ultimately a subject.
If one were to anger a True Dragon, they would only be torn to pieces by the enraged True Dragon!
Hand in hand, they had been subjects in the same hall for many years. Zhangsun Wuji and the others really couldn't bear it.
After Zhang Yan was forced to rebel, they could only watch helplessly as another illustrious hero was killed by the furious Li Er in front of them!
"Zhang Yan is unpardonable!"
Fortunately, Li Er was still the same Li Er!
Even though at this moment, after hearing the old man's merciless mockery, he was still shocked.
He was so angry that he wanted to stab the Dragon Spring Sword into his chest.
However, he didn't do that in the end. He gritted his teeth and said word by word with a dark expression.
Qin Qiong's reputation was too resounding after all.
He was second only to Zhang Yan.
Even if Li Er was the emperor, if he wanted to touch him, he had to plan and act.
Unless he had no other choice, even Li Er was unwilling to cut off two pillars that supported the army!
At the very least, he had to kill Zhang Yan before he could touch Qin Qiong!
"He's guilty! Everyone has the right to kill him…Yi Country Duke, why did you let Zhang Yan go? Could it be that Zhang Yan is involved…"
"Your Majesty!"
Before Li Er could finish his resentful question, he was interrupted by Qin Qiong expressionlessly.
With a wave of his hand, the corner of the red cloak that he had been holding tightly in his palm.
He threw it in front of him.
Under the illumination of the raging fire, the scarlet red was particularly eye-catching.
"Before that Zhang Yan left the city, he had already severed all ties with this old minister! But if Your Majesty thinks that this old minister is still related to Zhang Yan…this old minister has nothing to say!”
"But Your Majesty, don't forget! In this world, whether it's the nobles in the royal court, the common people in the royal court, or even Your Majesty!”
"Which one of them has nothing to do with Zhang Yan? Which one of them had not received his favor? Which one of them had nothing to do with him?”
"The world has received countless favors from Zhang Yan! This old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, how did this Zhang Yan become someone that everyone could kill?”
Qin Qiong's words were filled with resentment and grief.
However, it was indescribably ear-piercing to Li Er's ears.
His already ugly expression instantly turned green and red.
Without thinking, he pointed at the raging fire around him and said angrily.
"Yes, sir! He, Zhang Yan, owed the Great Tang a debt of gratitude! But now, he had rebelled and set fire to Chang 'an Fortress, destroying the city walls! All kinds of sins are too numerous to be recorded!"
Li Er roared crazily.
"Even if he has made great contributions to the Great Tang, just the crimes he committed today are enough to warrant his death!”
"But Your Majesty! Who forced him to do all this?!”
Qin Qiong's eyebrows rose again.
He pointed a finger at Li Er's nose and scolded him sternly.
"If it wasn't for Your Majesty's sudden decree to strip Zhang Yan of all his rewards and official positions!”
"And then Hou Junji led his army to encircle and annihilate them, and now he has to face such a deadly imperial edict!”
"If not for this decree, Zhang Yan would still be the Duke of the Great Tang! Why would he rebel?"
"Your Majesty! You said that Zhang Yan had committed a heinous crime, and that he could not atone for his crime unless his family was raided and ten thousand deaths were committed!”
"This old minister would like to ask Your Majesty, where did Zhang Yan's crime come from?”
Qin Qiong's words forced this Li Er into a dead end.
If Zhang Yan is guilty, the whole world will be implicated.
If Zhang Yan deserved to be killed, then the entire world had received his credit. Everyone in the world deserved to be killed.
"A tiger has no heart to hurt others! But it had the power to hurt people! He, Zhang Yan, had already become a big shot! We are killing the Great Tang's worries!”
Finally, Li Er, who was forced to a dead end by Qin Qiong, could not hold it in anymore.
He roared fiercely with a ferocious expression. No one knew how terrifying it was.
"How can a tiger sleep beside a golden dragon pillow? Since ancient times, I'm not the only true dragon and son of heaven who did this. I only made my move a step earlier! What's wrong with that?"
