Chapter 169: Xuanwu Blood
The starlight is fading, and the waning moon will disappear. The bustling city of Chang'an wakes up from the quiet and fragrant summer night dream. The Qin Palace, which had not slept all night, had been tied, and both the generals and the civil servants had put on their armor, and this battle was more difficult for them than any previous battle, because their opponents were the crown prince, the king of Qi, and the emperor!
Shimin came to Zhao Qingshan's front and said, "Qingshan, you don't have to go. β
"Why?" Zhao Qingshan, who was ready to go, looked dazed, he was still thinking about how to contribute to King Qin!
Shimin said: "Qingshan, when we act, the garrison of the Qi Palace's mansion should be the most empty, and that is the best time for you to pick up Jiang Xiaomei." β
Zhao Qingshan said: "However, Qingshan has not repaid King Qin......"
Shimin waved his hand and interrupted him, "Qingshan, you don't owe me anything, it's enough for my little sister to send such important information." If you are reluctant to take this king, after the matter is completed, you will bring your little sister back, and then this king will reward you for your merits. β
"However, how could Qingshan leave at the most critical moment for His Second Highness?"
Shimin patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be a mother-in-law, it's important to pick up the little sister." β
After sending Zhao Qingshan away, Shimin looked at his group of civil and military officers, all of whom were already in good spirits and ready to fight hard. Shimin raised a glass of wine and said, "This king respects everyone! β
Everyone also raised their glasses and drank with the people, shouting "Success!" He then slammed the glass on the ground as a sign of determination.
"The hour is almost up." Shimin drew his sword with a cold expression, and said to everyone firmly: "Go!" β
The first to get on the horse was the heroic Qin King Li Shimin. Then there are Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui...... (Author's note: There is controversy about who exactly entered the history of Xuanwu Gate with the people of the world, and it is only written here according to the characters who appear in this book, and readers should not take it seriously.) Behind them were the eight hundred warriors. Shimin threw down his horsewhip fiercely, and the horse under him immediately jumped towards the Xuanwu Gate like an arrow from the string, galloping in the morning light on June 4, the ninth year of Wude. At that moment, what a brilliant scene in history, the heroic and resolute Li Shimin jumped from the dark and depressed martial virtue to the gorgeous and splendid Zhenguan, and led everyone behind him to open the great rule of Zhenguan!
Chang He opened the door to the people of the King of Qin according to the agreement, and the people of the world quickly commanded the men and horses to ambush, just waiting for the arrival of Jiancheng and Yuanji. and immediately ordered Wei Chi Jingde to go to Chengxiang Hall to save Zixuan.
At this time, Li Yuan was going to the sea pool with Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, and Chen Shuda to go boating. Prepare for a while when the three sons will confront each other, and take this opportunity to abolish the title of Shimin.
Zixuan came to the Xuanwu Gate with the support of Li Zhong, which is the north gate of the Taiji Palace and the only way to enter the court. Without the emperor's order, no one was allowed to enter the Xuanwu Gate with soldiers and horses. Zixuan was looking around. Behold where the people of the world are in ambush. At this time, only the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and it was Jiancheng and Yuanji who walked side by side and entered the Xuanwu Gate.
It's too late. It's too late to find the people! At this moment, Zixuan had only one thought in his heart - he couldn't let Jiancheng die. So she ran towards Jiancheng with all her might, and Li Zhong followed.
"Built!" Zi Xuan's call broke the silence of the empty mountain valley, and Zi Xuan's tears floated in the murderous air of the Xuanwu Gate.
"Zixuan, why are you here?" When Jiancheng saw her, he hurriedly dismounted, "Didn't I ask Li Zhong to take you back to the East Palace?" β
Motoyoshi also dismounted.
Zixuan cried and shook his head, "Completed, why are you so stupid?" I am the woman of the people, no one has ever forced me to marry him, my heart is towards him, is it worth it for you to do this? β
Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, gently wiped her tears, and smiled gently: "It's worth it, you are the most loved woman in my life, and aren't you coming to me now?" β
Zixuan was even more in tears, "Built...... Walk...... Come on. β
"What did you say?" Jiancheng didn't understand what she meant.
Zixuan hurriedly pushed him, "I told you to leave quickly!" Get out of here and go back to the East Palace! β
Shimin and the cadres of the Qin Palace's Mansion were stunned when they saw Zixuan arrive at the Xuanwu Gate. What surprised them even more was that Zixuan actually ran towards Jiancheng, and they could only hear her shouting "Jiancheng", and then they couldn't hear anything.
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said to Shimin: "Second Highness, what can I do about this?" Concubine Yang is over there, how can we do it? β
Shimin also panicked, "Let's see." β
After a while, they saw Zixuan pushing the intention to let him go, and the eldest grandson Wuji was so anxious that he sweated, "Second Highness, give an order quickly, you must not let the prince go!" If he leaves, what we are doing today is rebellion, and the emperor will not let us go! β
"But Zixuan is over there!" The people of the world can't ignore Zixuan.
The construction over there is already ready to take Zixuan to get on the horse and leave. All the people in the Qin Palace's mansion knelt down, "Second Highness, you can't wait any longer, if you wait any longer, you will die!" β
Shimin's heart was in a mess, and seeing that he was about to take Zixuan away, he subconsciously stood up and shouted, "Big brother! β
Jiancheng, Yuan Ji, Zixuan, and Li Zhong all looked at him, and the first to reflect was Yuan Ji, who shouted: "Big brother, there is an ambush here!" β
Yuanji cleanly took off his bow, quickly put on the bow and the arrow, and shot an arrow at the people, but the arrow fell a foot away from the people. Yuan Ji looked at his trembling hands in surprise, he was too nervous, but no matter what, he had to shoot the second brother in front of him, otherwise he and his eldest brother would have no way to live. Yuanji had another arrow, but it was still too far away, and he fired another arrow after him, but it still couldn't hurt the people.
Compared with Yuanji, the people of the world, who had repeatedly experienced life and death on the battlefield, were much calmer, and the people calmly bent their bows and arrows, and went straight to Yuanji with an arrow.
Yuan Ji knew how accurate the second brother's arrows were, but he didn't want to die, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Zixuan next to him over, blocking his chest as a human shield.
"Zixuan!" BuiltγThe people of the world exclaimed at the same timeγ But it was too late for the people of the world, and the arrows from the string could not be recovered; But for Jiancheng, it was still too late, he pounced and used his body to protect Zixuan, and suffered the arrow of the people of the world.
The arrow hit Jiancheng's chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, spraying Zixuan's face, and Jiancheng slowly fell down in front of Zixuan, but there was relief in his eyes, and there was a satisfied smile on the corner of his lips......
Zixuan stretched out his hand to pull him, but how could he hold it, he was taken by Jiancheng and fell to the ground together. (To be continued......)
