One by one, the sharp daggers pierced the yellow robe on Li Shimin's body and stabbed deeply into his body.

The pain in his body made Li Shimin's face full of shock and disbelief, and he looked at Cheng Zhijie blankly, wanting to resist and question, but found that he couldn't do anything.

"You ......" Li Shimin, whose body was already not as good as before, was just stabbed, and the whole person seemed to be instantly drained of the strength in his body, holding Cheng Zhijie's shoulder with one hand, and asked with difficulty, he never dared to believe this result, let alone believe that Cheng Zhijie was a thief shouting to catch a thief.

How could Cheng Zhijie defect? How so? This question has been deeply troubled by Li Shimin, until he pulled out a knife and stabbed it in another place.

"I'm sorry, I had to do this!" When the stab was made, Cheng Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to worry about anything anymore, next, as long as he accepted the reality, he attached it to Li Shimin's ear and said the last apology.

"For ...... Why? I don't understand! Li Shimin asked with some difficulty, but the person he trusted the most stabbed himself at the most critical moment, and kicked himself off the cliff with a hard kick when he needed someone to pull him the most.

Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder himself, didn't the throne that was exchanged through legitimate means really deserve this fate?

Why? Why didn't anyone see my efforts? Why do even henchmen treat themselves like this?

"If you had killed him with a knife, nothing would have happened now, but you didn't, you softened, you gave him a chance, he did a good job, while worrying about when he would be killed by you, he had to make changes deliberately, and now the results have come out, he has done better than you, his army is stronger than yours, his people are happier than yours, you are alive, a devastating war will be inevitable, I can only do this, for the future of Datang......" In the end, Even Cheng Zhijie didn't know what he was for?

How did you get connected to Li Yuanji in the first place? Cheng Zhijie himself can't recall it, maybe he is tired, maybe Li Yuanji is really far better than Li Shimin, or maybe he wants to see the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the appearance of the kind of imperial power that sweeps everything around.

"I'm not reconciled...... I am not reconciled......" Li Shimin said with difficulty, when things come to this point, who can be reconciled?

Cheng ...... General Cheng ...... "The guards not far behind him only discovered the abnormality at this time, and looked at Cheng Zhijie with a face full of disbelief, and the whole person who was stunned stiffened and didn't know what to do.

"It's late...... Datang shouldn't have been yours, and now you're just returning it, do you remember Yuan Tiangang? He also went to the country of Qi! Cheng Zhijie ignored the guards and still said to himself.

"He went too?" Li Shimin was stunned, and his whole person almost collapsed.

That day, he wanted Yuan Tiangang to deduce something, but the goods ran away, there was no news, no matter how he traced it, he couldn't find it, his words brought a huge shock to himself, but he didn't expect that he would also go to Qi State, wouldn't that explain?

Cheng Zhijie nodded and continued: "I have seen him and asked him, he said that the person who changed your life against the sky is the King of Qi, if you had killed him at the beginning, or treated him as a brother, everything in the Qi country now belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and everything he has is also yours, but it's a pity that you cut off the road yourself......"

"I ......" blood flowed more and more, Li Shimin's face was gradually a little pale, and the whole person could only lie on Cheng Zhijie's body to support, and he didn't even have the strength to stand alone, and he trembled when he spoke, obviously because of the lack of air intake and more breath, realizing that he was going to die, Li Shimin's mood finally calmed down, but there were still many things that could not be relieved, although Cheng Zhijie betrayed himself, but now he has no other choice but to entrust with difficulty:" I know that he will not let them go easily, and I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that you can protect the queen and Chengqian. ”

Cheng Zhijie's face changed slightly, obviously this is not an easy thing.

But the two of them are like kings and ministers, and at this juncture, they obviously can't face it with disappointment.

nodded with difficulty: "I will protect the queen, but Cheng Qian is the crown prince, and the goal is so big, how can King Qi let it go?" I will do my best to save a prince. ”

Li Shimin also knew that his request was not easy, and he was already satisfied with being able to keep the queen and a son, as for which one, how could he have time to care?

"Your Majesty...... Someone, there's an assassin! The guards who took a few steps forward finally discovered the situation between the two, and the smell of blood was late, and the frightened few people hurriedly shouted, and at the same time drew their sabers and planned to fight Cheng Zhijie to the death.

"Retreat...... Retire...... From...... From now on...... Hear the ...... of the Feast of Knowledge Tune ......" Before the whole paragraph was finished, Li Shimin's head tilted, and the whole person lost his breath.

Several of the guards were also stunned for a moment, at a loss.

On the other side of the palace, Li Yuan silently shed tears, although he didn't know why, but his second son also died, within two years, the eldest son and the second son died one after another, although the second son did something rebellious, but after all, it was his own son.

"Minister, by the order of the King of Qi, come to protect Your Majesty!" As if hearing the crying on the other side, Cheng Zhijie bowed directly to the other side.

……

The loess in the sky continued to swing, and the rumble of the galloping horses was deafening, and the whole earth trembled.

Tens of thousands of cavalry, stuffy head straight to Chang'an, the people in the countryside desperately hid at home, only hoping that the war would not burn them, and the people who were busy in the fields were even more desperate to find a place to hide, in addition to hiding, what else could they do?

The sky is getting dark, and Chang'an City is close at hand.

Li Yuanji, who was riding on a war horse, was as calm as water on the surface, and his heart was also turbulent, just like when he knew that the other party would sign a big order worth 100 million with him, and tomorrow was the day of the signing.

Chang'an, finally back......

"Is King Ngee Ann here?" It was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart, and he didn't know what the situation in the city was, so Li Yuanji had to find a way to distract himself from his attention and nervousness.

"Not yet, it seems that it has just passed Fengzhou, and there have been a few tough battles, even if they come, it won't help us much." Ma Wu thought about it for a moment and subconsciously replied.

"I really don't know where he got the courage to rebel?" Li Yuanji snorted coldly in his heart, and his mouth was unforgiving.

"Didn't the Xuanwu Sect use many troops? As long as the palace ban is bought and some troops are placed in the city in advance, it is not difficult to succeed, and now the generals who can fight in the imperial court are all here. Ma Wu didn't care.

Cheng Zhijie ran away, but Li Jing and Wei Chi Jingde were detained here, Zhang Gongjin, Li Xiaogong, and Li Daozong were hanging far behind, and the Qi army alone contained the five generals of the imperial court, the two top Wenchen, and the strength of the nine legions of 180,000.

Although there was no direct contact with the rest of the place, they had no intention of supporting for a while, and the pressure on King Ngee Ann was reduced a lot.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, and the plan can never catch up with the changes, and he was expecting King Yi'an, who also came to Xuanwumen, but he didn't expect King Qi to be so fanfare, and he was so strong, so his careful thinking had no effect.

In other words, if the king of Ngee Ann does not send troops, he will not have anything to do with him when he divides the cake in the future.

The combination of various factors led to the fact that King Yi'an, who was closer to Chang'an, had only just walked less than half of the distance when the Qi army arrived in Chang'an.

"King, the gate of Chang'an is wide open, the defenders are defenseless, they don't seem to have any intention of resisting......" Seeing the appearance of Chang'an, Jieli, who was shocked, once again returned to the main formation from the front army in person.

This scene is so surprising and unbelievable, how is this possible? After so many years of fighting, I have never seen this kind of formation, even if you can't fight, you can be reserved, right? You are the imperial court, you are Chang'an, okay?

"Good!" Hearing this news, Li Yuanji clapped his hands excitedly, there was nothing more exciting news than this, and shouted ecstatically: "Lone wants to give him the first credit!" ”

"The first merit? To him? Who? Jieli stared at the small with big eyes, some couldn't understand, there was no battle along the way, but his Turkic cavalry was always in front, if it was a meritorious service, although the cavalry did not make any meritorious contributions, but relatively speaking, his own cavalry had the most merit, and it should also be ranked first, right?

Jieli doesn't understand very much, for Mao's blink of an eye, the first merit is gone?

"That person who took down the entire Chang'an City with the strength of only one person!" Li Yuanji said meaningfully.

Li Jing's calmness, Wei Chi Jingde's surprise, Du Ruhui's smirk, and the eldest grandson Wuji's questioning, the four of them each had their own postures, and even now, they still can't believe that what is happening in front of them is true.

The biggest blow is naturally Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji, the two ministers, the Tang army's combat effectiveness is more than twice as strong as before, but why is it still defeated so quickly? How the hell does that thing work? Why doesn't Datang have it?

Outside Chang'an City, the army besieged the city, but the atmosphere at the scene was not at all like the imminent battle, and the faces of the soldiers defending the city could not see a trace of tension and worry, but they were very relaxed one by one, like an amnesty.

The Qi army under the city has no reason to be nervous, Chang'an is just a bigger city, and the weapons in their hands can still directly smash this turtle shell.

"Too ...... The Emperor? Li Jing's figure trembled faintly, looked at the not bright city gate, and said with some puzzlement.
