Chapter 896: A stab in the back

Hu Seng could only walk to the alchemy furnace and began to instruct the wrestlers to open the furnace.

As the Dan furnace was opened, the flame at the bottom of the furnace suddenly turned purple, which looked very beautiful, and a wave of qi dispersed from the side of the Dan furnace to all sides.

Seeing this scene from afar, Leng Feng sneered. It's just this pomp, and it's too simple.

The flames turned purple, and there were waves of air, indicating that the Dan furnace must have been tampered with, and as the Dan furnace was opened, saltpeter was thrown into the fire. This is what saltpeter looks like when it is thrown into the fire.

Speaking of which, the earliest inventors of gunpowder in history were still these alchemists.

After the temperature of the Dan furnace had cooled down a bit, Hu Seng put on gloves and took out a mold from it.

Walking in front of Li Shimin with the mold in his hand, Hu Seng opened it tremblingly, for fear of falling out of the contents.

When the mold opened, what appeared was a red elixir, the size of a baby's fist.

The cold front in the distance couldn't help smacking his tongue again, his eyes were so bright red, the devil knew how much mercury sulfide was in it. It's so big, even if two people eat it separately, they can't bear it!

Looking at this elixir, Li Shimin said to Hu Seng expressionlessly: "Since this elixir is practiced by the master, then, I will give the master the opportunity to become an immortal." ”

"Huh?"

Hu Seng's hand shook and he almost threw the pill out.

"Your Majesty, there is only one pill, I took it, what should you do! The raw materials have been exhausted, and such an elixir cannot be refined for thousands of years, so please eat it first. ”

Li Shimin laughed out loud, if he was still in the previous state of mind at this time, he might have believed this Hu monk's words and swallowed the pill. However, now that he is calm, he has seen too many flaws.

"It's better for the master to eat first, when you become an immortal, you are still worried about not being able to find the raw materials for alchemy? Nameless, let him take this elixir! ”

Nameless snatched the pill from Hu Seng's hand with an expressionless face, grabbed Hu Seng and stuffed it into his mouth.

was forcibly fed the pill, and Hu Seng suddenly struggled desperately: "Your Majesty can't, Your Majesty can't!" Yes! Woo...."

The wrestler guarding the Dan furnace came over and helped Nameless forcibly stuff the pill into Hu Seng's mouth.

By the way, I also gave him a bowl of water, for fear that he would choke.

After being let go, Hu Seng began to hold his throat and wanted to spit out the pill.

Looking at Hu Seng's loveless expression, Li Shimin's face became more and more ugly.

Hu Seng's various performances all show that there is something wrong with this elixir.

If he really took this elixir....

Just when he was afraid, a cold light suddenly flashed from behind.

Nameless was the first to react and desperately knocked Li Shimin aside.

The Emperor avoided it, but the cold light stabbed Nameless in the stomach.

What happened between the lightning and flint made Li Shimin a little unable to react, and when he finally saw what was happening, he was not angry, but felt the extreme chill -

At this time, Li Zhi was struggling to pull out the nameless dagger!

Stretching out his hand to push away the wrestlers who were protecting him, Li Shimin said angrily: "Rebel! Did you plan all this? ”

Nameless's injuries were not fatal at first, but under Li Zhi's twist, he soon fell to the ground. Although his martial arts were not bad back then, he was old after all. Among the people around Li Shimin, he was the first to have a significant decline in combat power.

Successfully pulling out the dagger, Li Zhi pointed the bloody dagger at Li Shimin: "What if it's me?" Hahaha! Father, why don't you eat this elixir? That way, I won't be able to enable the second method either. ”

After speaking, Li Zhi reached out and took out a bamboo pipe from his arms and threw it far away.

The bamboo pipe exploded immediately after it hit the ground, and the sound wafted around the Jiucheng Palace.

The members of the Hundred Cavalry Division who first noticed the incident all ran over, but before they could get closer, several of them suddenly swung their knives at their companions.

How could the people of the Hundred Cavalry Division think that there would be a traitor inside, and a few people who did not react suddenly fell in the chaos of knives.

The murderer did not put away the knife, but ran to Li Zhi's side and protected him.

Looking at these members of the Hundred Cavalry Division, especially the familiar face among them, Li Shimin was already angry to the limit!

That guy was clearly the one who went fishing with him and dropped the lungfish to the ground.

Sure enough, all of this was not accidental, but deliberately designed by someone.

Someone protected him, and Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Waving a dagger and pointing at Li Shimin, Li Zhi said loudly: "Kill him!" Whoever kills him, I will make him the prince of the country! ”

Several traitors of the Hundred Cavalry Division did not rush out at the first time, but became entangled in place.

Seeing that they didn't move, Li Zhi said angrily: "Why don't you do it yet?" Now that you have taken refuge in me, don't think about turning back, if you hesitate, you will be burdened with the great sin of the Nine Clans. Which is more important, you still don't know how to weigh it? ”

Standing up, Li Shimin pointed at the traitors: "Come, I am here, waiting for you to take my head!" ”

Under Li Shimin's provocation and Li Zhi's persecution, there was finally a traitor who couldn't help it, and he rushed towards Li Shimin with a knife.

However, before he could run halfway, an arrow hit him in the forehead, killing him with one blow!

On the roof of the main hall behind Li Shimin, Zhang Wen stood up with a bow and arrow in his hand. He had been ambushed here for a long time, just to protect the emperor's safety as much as possible.

Including him, no one thought that Li Zhi would suddenly make a move.

Seeing Zhang Wen, the traitors were agitated and took Li Zhi to hide under the eaves of the main hall.

"What are you afraid of, just one person, and you can shoot all of you at the same time?"

A traitor protected Li Zhi and said, "Your Highness, Zhang Wen is a marksman, within this distance, in the blink of an eye, he can shoot more than three people!" ”

Seeing Li Zhi hiding, Li Shimin did not order a pursuit to the people around him.

At this time, his heart ached, he really didn't expect that among the people who swung a knife at him, there would be one of his sons!

A fast horse broke into the Jiucheng Palace, and the knight on the horse shouted desperately from afar: "Your Majesty! Dangerous! A group of thieves began to attack the Nine Percent Palace! ”

Hearing this message, Li Zhi was overjoyed.

He never had the luxury of expecting that these few hundred horsemen would be able to deal with his father, and the manpower he secretly assembled was today's trump card force!

Pushing away the people in front of him, Li Zhi shouted: "Father, it's too late for you to surrender now." As long as you abdicate to me and retire in the Jiucheng Palace, I won't do anything to you. ”

"And then, are you going to do it to your brothers?"

Li Shimin closed his eyes in pain.

What a familiar scene, back then, he forced his father to abdicate after killing his brother and younger brother.

Now, his next generation has also made the same mistakes.

Is this retribution?
