Chapter 573: Turn your face
Li Ming's eyes stared deeply at the big tent in the barracks, and the request for help written by Tianxin Daozun. Li Ming knew very well that this was Tianxin Daoxin's choice, he chose to stand on the side of his fourth brother Li Ba and abandoned him.
"The most ruthless emperor's family, has this old saying been fulfilled?Fourth brother, will you want the second brother's life like the third brother did back then?" Li Ming whispered sadly and frustratedly.
The crown prince of the Tang Imperial City is still Li Cheng, but he is now under house arrest and cannot be seen by outsiders. Li Ji made a mistake three months ago, and was sent to the frontier open heaven city by Li Ba, which can be regarded as being driven out of the center of the power struggle.
Li Ming thought that the fourth brother would let him go of his old feelings, but who knew that he had received a military order to lead troops into the wilderness. Not only that, in the entire Tianlong Army, as long as all the generals and sergeants who were close to him were sent into the Heavenly Desolation, this was undoubtedly a great purge.
What made Li Ming feel the most chilling was that all his wives and children were recruited into the palace to 'accompany' the elderly emperor Li Yuan.
"Tell the second prince, Lord Qiantiangui of the prison army asks to see you. The guards outside the military tent reported that without waiting for Li Ming to answer, Qian Tiangui, who had three heads and a pair of demon wings, broke into the military tent.
"Second Prince, why didn't you send troops for a long time? Haven't you finished reading Tianxin Daozun's request for help?" Qiantiangui's expression was proud, and he didn't mean to be in awe of Li Ming at all.
Li Ming's expression was ugly, and he said sharply, "Qiantiangui, you are just a prison army, when you see the main general, shouldn't you give a military salute first?"
"Hehe, Second Prince, you are a humble human race, can you bear the great gift of my superior race?" Qiantiangui smiled with contempt, "Bold!" Li Mingqi's face turned pale, and he violently lined up on the wooden table in front of him. On the wooden table, the prayer for help written by the Heavenly Heart Dao Venerable was arranged and shattered.
Li Ming was furious, and in his big tent, six supreme masters wearing stealth armor appeared, and they surrounded Qiantiangui, with murderous intent in their eyes.
Qiantiangui's strength is in the middle of the saint-level realm, he is not afraid of Li Ming, but he is very jealous of these six supreme masters, although these six people are only in the early stage of the saint-level realm, but because of the stealth armor they wear, their strength is no lower than that of Qiantiangui.
"Second Prince, do you want to kill the prison army of the superior race? Do you want the entire Qin Palace's people to pay with their lives for your actions?" Qian Tiangui warned in a cold voice, "If I can't complete the task smoothly, what difference will it make if I don't go back or not?" Li Ming's eyes showed murderous intent, he was tired of such power struggles and fratricidal things.
If he is destined to not survive at the hands of any new emperor, he would rather do it once.
Qian Tiangui's face turned very bad, because he found that there was tiredness and madness in Li Ming's eyes, and he felt that the two princes might jump over the wall in a hurry and drag him to perdition together.
"Get out, if you dare to be so arrogant and have no general, this general will cut off your head and sacrifice the flag. Li Ming made a decision in his heart, and he didn't give Qiantiangui face at all.
"Li Ming, are you going to disobey the emperor's order and bring about your own destruction?" Qiantiangui looked at Li Ming angrily and asked, Li Ming put his hands on his back, his spine was straight, and he said with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude: "The big husband stands between heaven and earth, he should distinguish between right and wrong, filial piety is the foundation, and benevolence and righteousness are the first. Long Jiaoyang is the benefactor of this prince, whoever wants to be unfavorable to him is to attack this prince, I will never send troops to deal with him, on the contrary, I will send troops to protect him!"
"Okay, good, good! Second prince, you disobeyed the emperor's order and collaborated with the enemy because of personal feelings, I will definitely tell the emperor about this matter......" Qiantiangui's back was in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to show a timid look, he was afraid that the second prince who was determined to rebel would kill him and sacrifice the flag.
Li Ming sneered coldly and said, "At this time, is it still necessary to open your mouth and shut up the emperor? Who are you obeying, it is difficult to think that this prince does not know? The fourth brother wants to force me to die, I will do as he wishes, this heavenly desolation will be the place where this prince is buried, and you and the soldiers of the demon clan will also accompany this prince to fight here, in fact, we are connected by the same fate." ”
Qiantiangui scolded in his heart, who wants to die with you. At this time, he didn't want to stay in the big tent for a second.
"The second prince is determined to collaborate with the enemy, how can the sergeants of this prison army and the demon clan be in the same league with you? I also ask the second prince to let me leave and take the sergeants of the demon clan away, otherwise if there is a real war, the Tianlong army may not be the opponent of our clan. Qian Tiangui's heart beat faster and roared, "I told you to get out just now, didn't you hear?" Li Ming snorted coldly and scattered the six guards wearing stealth armor surrounded by Qian Tiangui, Qian Tiangui kept rushing away from the main general's tent, he had to leave immediately with the people of the demon clan, otherwise he was likely to encounter a counterattack from the second prince who was determined to die in the wilderness.
After Li Ming left, Li Ming sat on the wooden chair, he lost all his strength in a trance and said, "You go and tell the four ranger generals, Hu Bing, Xue Lang, Xuan Yuxi, and Huo Mingjun, this prince is determined to stay for a long time, and they can decide to stay for themselves." ”
"Second prince, are you going to abandon us?" a bearded guard asked dissatisfiedly, "Tang Yu, don't talk nonsense, the second prince doesn't want to implicate us, he has openly violated the imperial decree and is already a traitor." Another older guard explained for Li Ming very understandingly, "Second Prince, we have been together for so many years, do you think we will be afraid of death? And in this desolation, if you ignore us and the dragons are leaderless, how many of the brothers of the Heavenly Dragon Army can leave alive?" Tang Yu said loudly, Li Ming shook his head tiredly and said, "Go and convey my words, if the four ranger generals are unwilling to leave, let them send scouts to find Long Jiaoyang's whereabouts." ”
Li Ming wanted to give the sergeants of the Tianlong Army who were implicated by him a chance to live, if they continued to follow him after he publicly turned his face, the fate in the future might be very miserable.
After Qian Tiangui left the garrison of the Heavenly Dragon Army, he rushed to the defensive area of the Heavenly Xuan Sword Pool Holy Land on the west side with a hundred elite men and horses of the Demon Clan. After the people of the Tang Dynasty entered the Heavenly Desolation, they did not rush to action, they were stationed in this relatively safe place, and jointly defended against possible enemies from all sides in a triangular situation.
Tianxin Dao Venerable, Heavenly Sword Venerable, and Tianwu Elder listened to Qian Tiangui's words, Tianxin Dao Venerable's expression was complicated, he originally wanted to support Li Ming to sit on the throne, and had already suppressed the forces of the biggest enemy, the crown prince Li Cheng, and the third prince Li Ji three years ago. Who knows, Li Ba, a prince who only knows how to fight and make trouble, suddenly rose up and brought in cooperative allies like the demon clan.
The advantage of the second prince Li Ming disappeared in an instant, and Li Ba seemed to inevitably become the next heir to the throne of the Tang Imperial Family. From the perspective of interests, Tianxin Daozun finally chose to abandon Li Ming, and reappeared in line to choose the fourth prince Li Ba to support.
From the beginning of Tianxin Daozun's choice to give Li Ming a plea for help to capture Long Jiaoyang, he knew that he had forced Li Ming into an alley with no way out. Because he understands Li Ming, this prince values kindness and loyalty, so he will definitely not choose to take action against his savior.
