Even now, Li Jiu was still trying to sound her out.
Because he didn't feel safe in front of Li Yuan. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to wait for the Li family's men of sacrifice and private soldiers to arrive.
His head had already fallen to the ground.
Li Yuan glanced at him with contempt. He naturally understood what he was thinking. He turned to the door and said,"The Great Tang's army is mobilizing."
"There are quite a few people from the Li family in the army these few years.”
"If I had led the army here, I'm afraid the news would have already reached your ears, right?”
Li Jiu knelt there, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Li Yuan was right.
Their family had many spies in the court and the army. After all, with the help of Li Yuan, as long as the official position was not too important, they would be able to obtain a higher position.
They could stuff people in by spending some money to move around.
If they mobilized over ten thousand troops, then it would not just be these ten thousand troops that would be alarmed. There would also be more people who would be responsible for logistics and rations.
It was impossible for them not to notice any news.
As a result, they didn't even know when Li Yuan had come to Longxi County.
Li Jiu raised his head like a dog lying on the ground. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said,"Your Majesty, how many people did you bring?”
Li Yuan stood there and felt the ground shake slightly.
It was already late at night.
The entire county city was under curfew. Many commoners had already gone to bed and were fast asleep. However, the sound of horse hooves could be heard as if they were shaking the sky.
It was getting closer and closer.
Li Yuan smiled and said to Li Jiu,""Over three hundred people."
Li Yuan said.
Li Xu and Li Xunfeng looked at each other and felt relieved.
300 people?
Wasn't it enough to fill the gaps between their teeth?
It seemed that as long as he could keep his life, not only would he not die, but he would also have made a great contribution.
Li Jiu lowered his head and wiped the blood from his mouth with his hand. He smiled and said,"Your Majesty, there are more than three hundred people.”
"If you can't drive them away, I'm afraid these people aren't enough to protect you.”
As Li Jiu spoke, it seemed that the people outside were getting closer and closer. He also gained a trace of courage and slowly stood up.
Li Yuan didn't say anything, but Eunuch Lin brought a stool over and placed it beside Li Yuan.
Li Yuan slowly sat down.
Guan Yu walked closer with the Green Dragon Saber in his hand. The battle intent in his eyes was not hidden enough. He knelt on one knee and said,"Your Majesty, I beg you to kill all the enemies.”
Li Yuan nodded slightly and said,"Wait for them to come closer. Don't let them go, especially these men of sacrifice.”
"All of you have been brainwashed. There is no need for mercy.”
"I understand," Guan Yu replied respectfully.”
Guan Yu carried his gun and walked out, as if he didn't care about the people outside.
Li Xu and Li Xunfeng stood up. They looked at Guan Yu in disbelief, then at Li Yuan.
Did Li Yuan really not know how many people were outside?
Impossible!
They had some understanding of Li Yuan, or did Li Yuan have some hidden methods?
Li Xu didn't know why, but with five thousand soldiers and nearly a thousand men of sacrifice, even if Li Yuan had brought all the Golden Guards, they wouldn't be able to stop them.
This was a vast stream of people.
It was enough to break through all obstacles.
Even a general who didn't know how to fight could easily win this battle. Moreover, the Li family of Longxi had been passed down for thousands of years, and not all of them were good-for-nothings.
There were still some generals and generals.
The banquet hall instantly fell into a strange atmosphere.
Li Xu and Li Xunfeng clearly had the advantage in numbers, but they also understood that their lives were in Li Yuan's hands. Even if the people outside won, they would still be defeated.
What was the point of them dying?
In their eyes, Li Yuan sat there as if he was watching a show. They felt that whether it was 500 or 5,000 people, it would not change anything for Li Yuan.
They understood that this was absolutely illogical.
However, they were unable to refute him for a moment.
At the same time!
Two streams of people gathered outside the main gate of the Li Residence. There were only 1,000 people on the left, but when they stood together, they actually gave off a murderous aura.
It was as if he could sacrifice his life for the Li family at any time.
From the moment they were born until now, all they needed to do was die for the family and only serve each family head.
There were 5,000 people on the right, with 500 cavalrymen at the front. This should have been a heavy army fighting on the plains, but in the county city, in the Li Residence, there were 5,000 cavalrymen.
However, it became an obstacle again. He could only get off his horse and look at the deep Li Residence. It was like a ferocious beast that could swallow a person's life at any time.
The two groups of people gathered. The leader looked at each other and walked closer.
They cupped their hands.
"My name is Li Zhong," said the leader of the men of sacrifice.”
"I'm Li Xuanbing," the leader of the private soldiers said.”
The two of them had never met before. Li Zhong said,"The patriarch fired three whistling arrows, so his life must be in danger.”
"No one has come out of the mansion. Moreover, the smell of blood is so strong that it doesn't disperse.”
A hint of fear flashed in Li Xuanbing's eyes. Death warriors usually did not show themselves in front of others.
However, he had a status on the surface. He knew that there were some experts in the mansion who usually protected the family head. Even if he personally attacked, he could not guarantee that he could completely defeat them.
But if it wasn't for Li Jiu's whistling arrow.
They would probably only find out tomorrow morning. Li Xuanbing said,"Brother Li Zhong, the clan head might have already been discovered by the thieves.”
"We don't even know if he's still alive.”
"Do you think we should send someone in to take a look and check on the family head's safety?”
Li Zhong narrowed his eyes and said," The Clan Leader's life is everything to us. Get people to surround the entire mansion. I'll bring people to kill our way in."”
"Only force can make the enemy yield.”
"Otherwise, all words would seem so weak.”
Li Xuanbing listened to Li Zhong's words and felt disdain in his heart.
However, he could also hear that Li Zhong did not care about his life, but he still wanted to enjoy it. Naturally, he did not have any objections to Li Zhong's words and said,"Alright, I'll get people to surround the mansion.”
"You guys go in, I'll stand guard at the back.”
Li Zhong didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked toward the men of sacrifice, giving orders in a low voice.
Under the cold moon.
Clang, clang.
The sound of swords and sabers being unsheathed could be heard. The nearly 1,000 men of sacrifice revealed their determination to die at this moment as they charged straight towards the Li Manor's gate.
He didn't care what traps there were.
When Li Xuanbing saw this scene, he also said loudly,"Send out 2000 people and surround the mansion. Don't let a single bug out.”
"Remember, anyone who tries to escape will be hacked to death. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility for it.”
After Li Xuanbing gave the order.
Immediately, 2,000 people surrounded the entire mansion. The deputy general beside him also came over and said,"General, when are we going in?”
"After all, it's the family head's request for help.”
Li Xuanbing stroked his mustache and said,""Didn't you see that they've already gone in? We'll go in when they're almost done killing.”
"We have more people. We can just intercept them. If they're not afraid of death, let them charge in.”
"General, you are indeed farsighted. I understand now."”
Li Xuanbing looked at the 1,000 men of sacrifice as they filed in.
He knew that there were not many thieves inside.
Moreover, they had the absolute advantage in numbers now, but he did not know why he felt that he would lose, so he was a little more cautious.
The divine weapon in Li Zhong's hand was worth thousands of gold.
As the leader of the men of sacrifice, how could Li Jiu mistreat him for the sake of his own life?
Usually, Li Zhong would protect Li Jiu in secret. However, Ashina had been visiting frequently these past two days, so he had relaxed a little and asked Li Zhong to help him with some private matters.
Li Zhong entered the pitch-black Li Residence with a sharp sword in his hand.
He could see everything here with his eyes closed.
Creak, creak, creak.
The door of the Li Residence was suddenly closed. He looked behind him in disbelief. The moment he entered, he ordered people to check on both sides.
They did not discover any ambush.
Then where did the person who closed the door come from?
Li Zhong subconsciously looked at the beam above the door and understood where it was hidden. He also made a prompt decision and said,"Kill them. There's no one left in the Li family.”
"Other than the patriarch, don't leave anyone alive.”
"I'll bring some people to the main hall."
Pfft--
Before Li Zhong could finish his sentence, Guan Yu's Green Dragon Saber attacked from the shadows.
He instinctively blocked, but he only heard one sentence.
"Thief, my broadsword has long been thirsty."
