Chapter 280: Li Zicheng's Death (Second Update)
"Father Qing is not dead, Your Majesty, if you live, we will not live. So, please Your Majesty cut for yourself! Niu Jinxing also said loudly at this time.
"Self-cut? Hahahaha, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Liu Kaishan, look at you, they are all my most trusted confidants, but now they are forcing me to cut myself? You are truly my loyal servants, great loyal servants! ”
Li Zicheng raised his head and laughed wildly, pointing at Song Xiance and shouting, his voice was full of sadness and anger, as well as helplessness and loss.
Liu Kaishan's face showed a look of shame, and he bowed his head and said nothing. Niu Jinxing's face was complicated, so he didn't look away and didn't look at Li Zicheng.
"Lord Liu, what are you waiting for? If we wait for his henchmen to arrive, we will have only one way to die! Kill me! Song Xiance suddenly roared at this time, grabbed the little prince of Li Zicheng next to him, and stabbed a sword into his heart.
The crown prince Li Yi fell to the ground on his back without saying a word, and blood spurted out at once, staining a large area of white snow red.
Liu Kaishan also roared, and stabbed the sword in his hand from back to front into the heart of Li Zicheng's youngest son, Li Xuanhou, the king of Qi.
Li Xuan fell to the ground with a pop, and in front of him was the corpse of his brother Li Yi, who had taken the first step.
"Yi'er, Xuan'er!!"
Seeing his two sons being killed in front of his most trusted courtiers, Li Zicheng was in pain, roared wildly, picked up the long sword under his feet and pounced on Song Xiance and the others.
Li Zicheng was tall, full of martial arts, and had killed countless people, and Song Xiance and the others couldn't help but change color in shock when they saw him like a tiger in the mountains, and hurriedly took a step back.
The soldiers guarding in front of them also shouted and pounced, and fought with Li Zicheng.
These soldiers were all family members of these people, that is, private soldiers, so there was no doubt about their loyalty. In addition, the nutrition can keep up, the training is in place, and the armor and weapons are also considered excellent, so they are all considered elite soldiers.
In ancient times, generals often relied on these family members as the core of the battle.
Although Li Zicheng was brave, he rushed into the crowd and quickly killed two or three soldiers, but after all, he was weak and weak, coupled with old age and frailty, and his qi and blood declined, he soon fell into a struggling support, left and right, there were already several wounds on his body, blood stained his dragon robe, and his hair was scattered.
But he ignored it, yelling and screaming, constantly swinging his sword and slashing, like a madman.
Song Xiance looked at this scene and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just watched quietly.
Your Majesty, I don't want to die, then, only you die.
Don't blame me, blame you for not having this life.
He said silently in his heart, not knowing whether to tell it to himself or to Li Zicheng.
The fighting became quieter and quieter, and I don't know when it stopped.
The soldiers slowly dispersed, forming a circle, carrying the bloody weapons in their hands, and silently looking at the center of the circle.
Song Xiance separated the crowd, walked in, and saw Li Zicheng lying on the ground.
He was soaked in blood, and the bright yellow dragon robe was completely unremarkable, and it had been dyed black and red by blood.
He was dead, but his hands were still gripping the blood-soaked sword with its hilt, his eyes wide and glaring into the gloomy sky.
Song Xiance watched silently for a while, without saying a word.
Niu Jinxing also stood beside him, with a complicated expression.
"Dead? Dead? Liu Kaishan squeezed into the crowd and asked excitedly.
Seeing Li Zicheng on the ground, he was startled at first, but after waiting for a moment to confirm that the other party was really dead, he breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened up and shouted: "Quickly cut off his head, it will be our meeting gift at that time, and the officers and soldiers will definitely like it." ”
When a soldier heard this, he stepped forward with a knife and was about to make a move.
"Stop!" With a loud shout, the soldier turned around and saw Song Xiance with a gloomy face.
"After all, he is the emperor of my Great Shun Kingdom. Liu Kaishan, if you dare, I will kill you! Song Xiance stared at Liu Kaishan with unkind eyes, and said word by word.
He killed Li Zicheng in order to live. If Li Zicheng was not so stubborn, he would not want to see this ending.
People are dead, and they are already a hundred. If it goes too far, even the sky won't be able to stand it.
Liu Kaishan was stunned for a moment, looked at Song Xiance, and then looked at Niu Jinxing, and found that his eyes were not good, although he was angry in his heart, but it was not easy to attack, so he had to retreat aside.
Song Xiance slowly walked to Li Zicheng's side, squatted down, and muttered, "Your Majesty, don't blame me for waiting." If you weren't too stubborn, we wouldn't want to be this chaotic thief. You can go on the road with peace of mind, invest in a good family in the next life, and live a stable life. ”
As he spoke, he slowly slid his hand over Li Zicheng's wide eyes, but when he took his hand away, those eyes were still open.
Song Xiance tried twice more, but it still didn't work.
Everyone looked at each other, this scene was really weird.
"Go and bring the two princes over." Song Xiance thought about it and commanded.
The two soldiers quickly brought the bodies of the two princes, and according to Song Xiance's instructions, they put it down close to Li Zicheng on the left and right.
"Your Majesty, the two princes will accompany you on the road, and the three of you, father and son, will not be alone on the road." Song Xiance squatted down again, whispered to Li Zicheng, and put his right hand on his eyes again.
When he took his hand away, Li Zicheng's eyes finally closed.
Song Xiance stood up and ordered: "Place the bodies of Your Majesty and the two princes well, send someone to guard them, and no one is allowed to touch Your Majesty's body without my order." ”
"No!"
The soldiers carried the three bodies to the side hall for resettlement.
Song Xiance tidied up his clothes and walked towards the top of the steps, followed by Niu Jinxing.
Liu Kaishan also hurriedly followed.
The old chamberlain lay on the ground, his body was completely covered with snow, motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Just now, when the two princes were killed, he was already angry and fainted.
"Prime Minister, what should I do with this old thing?" Liu Kaishan asked.
"Your Majesty is already in heaven, so don't kill again. Father-in-law Zhang is affectionate and righteous, let him fend for himself. In addition, arrange people to maintain order in the palace, and if anyone dares to take advantage of the chaos to loot and kill, they will be killed on the spot. Song Xiance was silent for a moment and ordered.
"No!" The leader of the family behind him commanded.
Song Xiance strode towards the inside of the main hall.
The most important thing for him now is to find Li Zicheng's jade seal, and only after finding the jade seal can he issue an edict in the name of the emperor and order the whole city to surrender.
You must know that there are still a considerable number of people in the city who are loyal to Li Zicheng, especially a few old battalion generals. If it weren't for the fact that they were guarding the gates at the moment, their operation would never have been so smooth this time.
