Longxi's Li Clan had existed for thousands of years.
He was a descendant of Zhuanxu's grandson, Gao Tao, and had been a governor for generations. He was a famous prefecture in the Zhou and Qin Dynasties.
Then perhaps they would benefit from Li Yuan and become the number one clan in the world.
However, when they learned that the 200,000 soldiers under Jie Li Khan had gathered, they could not remember the huge benefits they had gained because of Li Yuan's reputation.
On the contrary, he was eager to clear his name.
Their clan's influence spread throughout the Great Tang, and they were very familiar with the Turkic military. They were afraid that the Jie Li Khagan would settle scores with them after taking over the Great Tang.
Therefore, when Ashina came to congratulate him, both sides could be said to have the same opinion.
The entire county city was under curfew.
The soldiers patrolling the streets were just going through the motions.
After dark, it was impossible to even see the road clearly. No one would come out.
After patrolling the streets for a short while, the soldiers sat on a bench that the merchant had not taken back. The lantern was placed on the table, making the surroundings seem gloomy.
However, they were used to it and spoke without restraint.
When it was time to change shifts.
It was also at this moment.
They felt as if the stools under their butts were shaking. Footsteps seemed to have appeared on the quiet long street.
The few of them listened attentively.
"What's that sound?"
"It looks like a lot of people are walking. Who would have such guts?”
"There seems to be the sound of armor."
"Don't f * cking talk nonsense. I know that our county city was a battlefield in ancient times. The old man said that every time the moon disappeared, there would be ghost soldiers crossing the border.”
"Gulp."
The few of them spoke softly, their voices trembling.
Finally, the leader looked at the trembling soldiers in front of him and laughed."Haha, look at you cowards.”
"I lied to you about the ghost soldiers crossing the border.”
As he spoke, for some reason, he felt a chill run up his spine.
The few people in front of him stretched out their hands, trembling and not daring to speak, afraid of attracting attention.
He turned around stiffly and saw a soldier covered in black armor. The spear in his hand seemed to have a faint murderous aura.
Behind him, the mighty army was silent.
He couldn't hold it in any longer and knelt on the ground with a plop. However, before he could say anything, he had already fainted.
The Dragon Cavalry quickly reported to Guan Yu,""General, a few soldiers patrolling the streets are already unconscious.”
Guan Yu didn't say anything. He pointed his saber and followed Li Yuan's carriage toward the Li Residence.
At night, there were still lanterns hanging in front of the Li Residence.
It was solemn and strict.
Li Yuan alighted from the carriage and looked at the Li Residence. He sighed softly and walked forward. Guan Yu followed closely behind.
Eunuch Lin, on the other hand, flipped over the wall with light movements.
The sound of a few corpses falling to the ground could be heard as the door creaked open. Li Yuan's footsteps did not even stop. The heavily guarded Li Residence was nothing to him.
A faint smell of blood spread out.
Li Yuan slowly walked in. The Dragon Riders behind him were like the Grim Reaper, harvesting lives one by one. No one made a sound.
Li Yuan was getting closer to the banquet hall.
The Kingdom War was imminent.
The soldiers guarding the border cities didn't even have enough to eat, yet these traitors were treating the Turkic envoys with good food and drink. It was truly laughable.
Li Xu, Li Xunfeng, and Ashina were all drinking wine with a dancer in their arms.
The entire banquet hall seemed extremely extravagant.
Ashina drank happily and looked at Li Xu. Li Xunfeng said,"Patriarchs, you people of the Great Tang truly enjoy life.”
"It's because of today's hospitality that when I return to the Turks, I will definitely tell the Khagan about your contributions.”
"Don't worry, the warriors of the grasslands will never mistreat their friends.”
"Haha, haha."
"Come, cheers."
Ashina He laughed without any restraint, as if he had already made a contribution and had seen the rewards promised by the Jie Li Khagan.
Li Jiu also downed the wine in his hand and said,"We didn't admire Li Yuan's claim to be emperor, let alone the fact that he dared to make Jie Li Khan his enemy.”
"In my opinion, we should just surrender to the Turkic warriors.”
"I've been longing for Jie Li Khan's grace for a long time, I wonder if I can introduce him to you in the future.”
Ashina hugged the maid and slapped the table with a flushed face.""Patriarch, don't worry. Khan Jie Li still values you very much.”
"Even if I didn't say anything, the Khagan would still meet you.”
"He even entrusted you with an important task. You must know that you have abandoned the dark side and joined the light, setting a good example for the other Great Tang people.”
Li Xu and Li Xunfeng sat there.
Although their actions were no different from Ashina's, they despised him.
However, he had received a promise.
The two also said,"Then we will wait for the Jie Li Khan to rule the world."”
" Let's drink to the Khan."
Ashina listened to their words and raised his wine glass."Cheers to the Khan."
Pfft--
Boom!
For the sake of secrecy, the banquet hall's door was made of top-grade mahogany. However, at this moment, they only saw a spear pierce through the door and then swing it.
It was as if it was endless.
The door fell straight down, scaring the owner of the banquet hall out of his wits.
Ashina instantly jumped up and threw the dancer in his arms to the side. He subconsciously touched his waist and realized that he had come to the banquet without a weapon.
Li Xu and Li Xunfeng sat on the upper seats. They couldn't see the people outside clearly against the light.
Ashina said with some blame,"Patriarch Li, what's going on?”
"You won't have a good ending either.”
"Are these soldiers?"
Li Xunfeng stood up and comforted Ashina.""Shopkeeper He, don't worry. In our territory, no one dares to disobey the orders of the Li family.”
"Even if Li Yuan came personally, he wouldn't be able to command them.”
"There must be some misunderstanding."
Li Xunfeng was the head of the Li family in Zhao County. This wasn't his home ground, but when he said these words, he wasn't worried at all.
Li Jiu looked at the two of them and felt a little embarrassed. He stood up and said,"Who are you? How dare you barge into the Li Residence?"
"Men, take them down for me.”
"Inform the city defense general Li Shen to take down all these rebels.”
Li Jiu issued orders one after another.
However, he saw the people outside the banquet hall walking towards him step by step against the light. The people of the Li Residence, including the butler, seemed to have disappeared into thin air. No one replied to him.
Da--
Da--
Da--
The sound of footsteps was like a talisman from the King of Hell. The sound of footsteps on the warm jade floor of the banquet hall was completely exposed in the Li residence.
Li Xu, Li Xunfeng, and Ashina stood there.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
As for the dancers, they hid in a corner of the banquet hall. They were intimidated by this aura and did not even dare to cry. They could only cover their mouths with their hands.
Finally, the man in front of her stopped.
Li Xu and Li Xunfeng narrowed their eyes, wanting to see the man's face clearly. However, it was as if they were looking at the sun in the sky, until Guan Yu dragged them down from the main seat like dead dogs.
The moment the two sides clashed.
Li Xu and Li Xunfeng felt as if all the energy in their bodies had been sucked dry.
Plop.
Kneeling on the ground, he trembled and said,"Your…Your Majesty!"
