Chapter Twenty-Three: The Bloody Xuanwu Gate (2)
The sound of the battle in the Xuanwu Gate came from afar, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces standing in front of the Taiji Palace seemed very silent at the moment, because Li Yuan walked out of the Showa Palace behind, his body was rickety, but it was like a mountain, just standing on the highest steps of the Taiji Palace, looking coldly at the ministers below.
"Your Majesty, why don't we go and take a look! What is going on with this shouting and killing? Xiao Yu, an old man who was not afraid of death, was the first to stand up, facing Li Yuan's eyes that could almost kill people.
"The ministers seconded it!" As long as there is a bird, the rest of the people will follow directly, and they have long wanted to go and see it. Although they all know very well in their hearts what is going on, but if they don't see each other in person, can they be sure that they will have the greatest benefit by standing there?
"Why, you want to see my son kill each other?" Li Yuan's voice was very small, but he said that a large group of civil and military generals were silent, this sentence is heartbreaking, if you bring it up again, it is to see the royal jokes, this is a big sin that can destroy the nine clans. So one by one, they all retreated. I'm afraid that Li Yuan will put on such a big hat when he sees that they are not pleasing to the eye, and then he won't know how to die!
"You all know what's going on there, and I'm not afraid to tell you, whoever comes over there later, then whoever comes over there will be the next master of the Tang Empire! I will abdicate and give him the throne! Ahem...... "The smell of blood blowing from the morning breeze made Li Yuan feel uncomfortable for a while and coughed.
"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body! Obey the command! Samurai Tong, a military commander who was a timber merchant, spoke up.
"Wu Aiqing, I know my body, Mr. Sun said that I have fifteen years to live at most. This is still under the premise of proper maintenance and attention to various taboos. But I can't help it, so I can live for ten years at most. I sat down on it when I broke my heart in this world, but in the past ten years, I have not relaxed for a day, and it is more difficult to defend the world than the days when we fought the world together. I'm tired, I don't want to worry about state affairs anymore, since those three boys want to sit up, so how about letting them go? I just happened to enjoy the blessings, and I was so tired of living all these years! Li Yuan took a long breath of cold air. I gradually got used to the familiar taste with a hint of blood.
"Your Majesty, do you really want the three highnesses to fight to the death? Those are your sons, and they are brothers to each other! "Lu An is the representative of Fan Yang Lu's family in the court, serving as a Zhonglang in the Ministry of Rites, not big or small, he is a three-grade person, this person is the most respectful and humble in etiquette, so he chose such a Qingshui Yamen in the Ministry of Rites. But this yamen doesn't have much real power, but it has a wide range of control, whether it is the inner courtyard of the palace. Or as long as there is a place of etiquette and humility in the minister's house, they can intervene. Therefore, the fact that this brother killed each other and caused a disaster against the wall was contrary to the precepts of the saints in the eyes of this old pedant. Anything that does not comply with the law should be stopped in time, instead of sitting here and waiting for the result.
"Since Lu Aiqing has this determination. Then it's up to you to dissuade the three of them! I am here waiting for your good news! "How could Li Yuan stop it, this matter was actually provoked by him. Li Er was transferred back by his secret order, and it would not be in line with his mind if he didn't fight.
"Holy. This ......" Lu An didn't expect Li Yuan to let him go alone, no matter who gave him a kick on this battlefield, even if it was a small soldier, his old bones couldn't withstand it.
"What, don't want to go? I know that what you say is the truth, if you really do it, who can you stop with this powerless appearance? The warrior snorted coldly, he understood the thoughts of this long-lived master, and at the same time, as the first confidant to follow Li Yuan to fight the country, he also knew a little bit of the inside story, which was enough for him to guess the dirt during the period.
"You ......" Lu An's old face was flushed, and a pair of cloudy eyes stared at the warrior Tong, and his beard was curled, looking indescribably ridiculous.
Let's not talk about the ministers in front of the Taiji Palace for the time being, let's take a look at the battlefield situation in Xuanwumen.
One of the guards had just slashed the enemy in front of him, turned around and pounced on another enemy, but behind him he was directly pierced by a horse lance, he looked down at the fist-sized hole in front of him, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell off his horse.
"Kill Hongu! Fight your way out of the encirclement and get rewards! Li Jiancheng's voice was hoarse, and the sword in his hand was stained with blood, dripping down the blade of the sword. His face was also covered in blood, and his eyes flashed with a devouring cold light.
A soldier led by the sixth prince stabbed the horse lance into the abdomen of the Xuanjia guard opposite, but unexpectedly, the other party directly pounced on the horse's back with a tiger pounce, and the horse lance of Changchuang pierced him, and his body hit the enemy directly along the gun shaft of the horse lance, and the two fell off the horse together, and then were trampled into flesh by the horse's hooves that were not around.
Li Kuan stood in the city tower, watching this scene, with an indescribable feeling in his heart, life is so fragile, at this moment, human life is as cheap as grass.
This time, due to the reason why he did not participate in the war, the system did not deduct energy points, but Li Kuan felt that the system still deducted well, although he didn't know how the so-called compensation for the family of the deceased was done, but it would not be bad, it should be a lot stronger than the pension in this era, these are all people who died for Li Er's ability to ascend the throne, and they should be repaid.
"Sisters, go with me! Today I'm going to slaughter those two wolf-hearted things! A coquettish shout came, the city gate of Xuanwu Gate that had been closed creaked open again, and a team of female cavalrymen wearing wallets and holding short guns rushed in, led by Li Kuan's fearful Li Xiuning, at this time the princess of Pingyang was wearing short armor, with a long whip wrapped around her waist, and the skirt on her legs was lotus-shaped, which was very beautiful and atmospheric. Deerskin boots under his feet, riding on a rouge horse, his pretty face is cold.
"Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, you two guys come out and die!" Li Xiuning screamed, waved the short gun in his hand, blocked the two horse lances that stabbed over, rushed forward a few steps to let go of the soldiers who came over, and took the opportunity to untie the long whip from his waist, and with a wave of his jade arm, the long whip whistled and rolled over the neck of a soldier, and as soon as he pulled it, he was pulled up and thrown heavily against the wall on the side.
"Poof......" The bitter prince led the soldiers, his head was like a ripe watermelon falling to the ground, and it exploded directly, this is the real liver and brain, but Li Chengqian and Li Ke on the city tower who saw it directly vomited.
Li Kuan wrinkled his nose, damn it, these two guys told them to eat less in the morning and ate so much, this time they vomited so much, that smell, in the words of an advertising slogan that Li Kuan had seen in later generations, it was 'This sour, it's just fatal!' ’
"Li Jiancheng, dare not do it, do you still want to ascend the throne? Just like you, sitting on it is the life of a puppet! Li Yuanji, you look so ugly, your father didn't dislike you, and let you be the king of Qi, that's what you did? Your conscience has been eaten by dogs? Li Xiuning was fighting and drinking coquettishly, counting the crown prince and the king of Qi.
"Third sister, don't say that you are so noble, what are we doing? The second is not the same! You and the second son of the same hill, don't pretend to be a saint there! Li Yuanji, who fought with Cheng Biting Jin, was angry, and replied directly.
"I still have the strength to speak with Lao Cheng, it seems that Lao Cheng's strength is not enough, now try the three styles of horse lance created by Lao Cheng over the years - the first type, meteor." Cheng Biting Jin screamed, this ugly ghost dared to be distracted when he was fighting with himself, it was simply insulting him. So the ability to press the bottom of the box came out, this is what he summed up in half his life, the first type of meteor is a straight stab, but a very fast straight stab, just like the meteor that crosses the sky, the speed is amazing, this trick will only be used when the enemy is fighting, and his brothers will not use such a killing move.
Li Yuanji only felt a flash of cold light in front of him, and subconsciously waved the horse lance in his hand to block it, but when he was only halfway there, that bit of cold light was already in front of him, getting brighter and brighter, and finally occupied the entire field of vision.
"Keep your subordinates! Catch it alive! Li Er heard Cheng Biting Jin's shout and knew that Li Yuanji was finished, this fool had used the killing move, and his third brother, who was known as quite brave, couldn't stop it, because Li Er had seen these tricks, and even before Lao Cheng didn't serve him, Li Er's generals such as Duan Zhixuan had also learned it, and Cheng Biting Jin relied on this trick and the next two moves to fully compete with Duan Zhixuan, Qu Tutong and the two fought for 300 rounds, and this trick was also used back and forth 180 times, but it was impossible to prevent it, and there was no other way except to retreat.
So when Li Er heard Cheng Biting Jin's words, he shouted directly.
Cheng Yanjin heard the order from the city tower, the horse lance in his hand was slightly deviated, and the horse lance that originally pierced Li Yuanji's neck was deflected to his shoulder, directly penetrating his shoulder blades, and directly abolishing one of his hands, and the horse lance held tightly in Li Yuanji's hand also fell directly to the ground.
Cheng Biting Jin used a slight force, and directly swept Li Yuanji off the horse, and the tip of the blood-dripping spear was pointed at his forehead, so that Li Yuanji didn't dare to move.
"Haha...... My old Cheng won! Cheng Yanjin motioned to the soldiers around him to tie up Li Yuanji, and then laughed.
"Zhijie, come here to help!" The battle between Qin Qiong and Xue Wanqian was at a disadvantage, this general was really old, his gray temples showed the strength of the years, Qin Qiong, who was over fifty years old and was no longer at the peak of his strength, was really a little worse than Xue Wanqian who was in the prime of life.
Xue Wancheng is also a rare fierce general, using not a conventional horse lance, but a peculiar unique blade - the green dragon halberd, compared to Fang Tian's painted halberd, the green dragon halberd pays more attention to chopping, in the hands of the infinitely powerful Xue Wancheng, the power of this strange door blade is not trivial.
"Okay, second brother, I'll help you!" Cheng Yanjin turned the horse's head and galloped towards Qin Qiong's side. (To be continued......)
