In the ocean pool of the palace.
Li Yuan sat on the boat and took a sip of the cold water.
It wasn't that he didn't like tea.
It was because the tea leaves of the Great Tang were mixed with chopped green onions, ginger slices, and mutton oil. Even smelling it made it difficult for him to swallow, let alone drink it.
Fortunately, the water quality in the palace was not bad.
They were all high-quality spring water, and most importantly, they were a little sweet!
Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, and Chen Shuda all looked at Li Yuan with burning eyes. Although they were already a little old, if Li Yuan gave the order…
They would rather die under Yuchi Gong's blade.
He would not allow Yuchi Gong to lock them up here.
Li Yuan quietly put down his teacup as if nothing had happened. He waved his hand and the boat was rocked to the shore by the Imperial Attendants.
Yuchi Gong stood there with his saber.
Li Shi Min had sent him here because Li Yuan was not Emperor Wen. If it was any other general, he would not have been able to face Li Yuan and would have been afraid.
And Yuchi Gong himself was a brave person with outstanding battle achievements.
But at this moment…
Yuchi Gong stood there and watched the boat dock. He couldn't help but hold onto his saber. He felt as if a fierce tiger had walked out of the boat.
Da!
Da!
Da--
Li Yuan got off the boat. The sound of his boots sounded like a war drum, beating on his heart.
Yuchi Gong didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Li Yuan.
However, he knew very well that Li Yuan was already standing in front of him.
Li Yuan looked at Yuchi Gong and said indifferently,""Yuchi Gong, I heard your words just now. Now, I can only stay in this sea pool and can't walk around?”
Yuchi Gong's heart skipped a beat when he heard Li Yuan's words.
Li Yuan was the ruler of the Nine and Five Dynasties and had a noble status. However, he would address his subjects by their names even in the imperial court.
For example, he called him Jing De to show his closeness.
But now, he was calling his name.
Yuchi Gong gritted his teeth and bowed respectfully."Your Majesty, the King of Qin is currently suppressing the Crown Prince and King Qi at the Xuanwu Sect. His Highness the King of Qin was worried about alarming His Majesty, so he sent me as a guard.”
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"In a moment, His Highness the King of Qin will personally come to apologize to Your Majesty. I will also seek punishment.”
Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, and the others were extremely indignant.
However, after hearing Yuchi Gong's words.
They looked at each other again.
The King of Qin, the Crown Prince, and the King of Qi were all at the Xuanwu Sect?
They knew that Guan Yu had also led his troops there. Although the King of Qin had made outstanding military achievements, that was only on the battlefield. There were no soldiers in the Imperial Palace now.
A battle general like Guan Yu could easily suppress an army.
Clearly, Yuchi Gong didn't know about this.
When Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, and the others thought of this, their hearts relaxed. However, with Yuchi Gong here, they couldn't escape for the time being, which made them feel a little regretful.
When Li Yuan heard Yuchi Gong's words, a trace of killing intent appeared on his face. He said coldly,""Yuchi Gong, this palace is my palace.”
"This world is mine!"
"Tell me, where can't I go?”
"Where are the eighteen riders of Yanyun? Take them down. Those who dare to disobey will be killed without mercy.”
Bang!
Li Yuan's foot landed on Yuchi Gong's chest.
Yuchi Gong only felt the Heart-Protecting Mirror on his chest caved in.
Puff--
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Golden Guards stepped forward to support him. Yuchi Gong's face was pale and he did not dare to stop for even a moment. The eighteen riders of Yan Yun around him were all holding scimitars.
Yuchi Gong pulled out his saber and stabbed it into the ground. He lowered his head and said,""Your Majesty, I deserve to die. Please punish me.”
Li Yuan didn't even look at him.
The Eighteen Knights of Yanyun was also a reward from the system.
After he summoned it, he hid it in the palace.
There were 18 people on the 18 riders of Yan Yun. Each of them was wearing cold clothes, a scimitar at their waist, a mask on their face, and a black scarf covering their heads, revealing only their eyes. They were also wearing a long black cloak and riding boots.
The riding boots were equipped with daggers, and everyone carried bows on their backs. Each of them carried eighteen arrows, and at the same time, they were all equipped with full moon scimitars!
At this moment, the eighteen scimitars were unsheathed, and their sharp and cold lights made people feel intimidated.
The Golden Guards that Yuchi Gong had brought with him all knelt on the ground.
Yuchi Gong's hands were clasped behind his back. He had already been captured.
Li Yuan walked in front.
Yuchi Gong lowered his head, but he knew that it was in the direction of Black Tortoise Sect.
The King of Qin had led them to plot in the King of Qin's Residence for a few months. He thought that he knew all the hidden forces around Li Yuan and that he had a backup plan.
He was waiting for today to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
Li Shi Min would be able to ascend the throne.
However, in the sea pool, not to mention the 18 riders of Yan Yun, he was not even a match for Li Yuan. He seemed to see Li Yuan on the battlefield.
As long as the flag was erected there.
They were invincible.
He had thought that Li Yuan was already old, but he felt that if it wasn't for the Heart-Protecting Mirror, he would have lost his life.
Not to mention resisting.
At the Black Tortoise Gate.
Li Shi Min was wearing golden armor and a black cloak.
This was what Li Yuan had bestowed upon him when he was appointed as the Heavenly Strategy General.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yuwen Shiji, Hou Junji, Cheng Zhijie, and Qin Qiong were all lying in ambush on both sides.
Li Shiming looked at Zhangsun Wuji and said worriedly,""Wuji, bengong feels uneasy.”
"Do you think there's a problem there?”
"Could it be Jing De?"
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Shiming and grabbed his arm,""Shi Min, our lives are now in your hands.”
"Once it's done, everything will be fine."
"No, we're not afraid of death. We can't retreat now.”
Seeing this, Fang Xuanling also advised,""Your Highness, the Black Tortoise Sect's guards have been bribed by us. We only need to wait for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to arrive.”
"Kill him in front of the Black Tortoise Sect.”
"Then, the great matter can be accomplished."
"His Majesty has no one by his side. With General Yuchi by his side, there shouldn't be any problems.”
Li Shi Min nodded slightly and was about to say something.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard on the quiet road.
Everyone's expression was solemn as they placed their hands on their weapons.
They knew.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji arrived.
The success or failure of the conspiracy depended on this move.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji rode closer and closer. They slowed down a lot, afraid of disturbing the palace city.
Clang--
Li Shi Min's eyes flashed with killing intent as he drew his sword out of its scabbard!
