Chapter 73 Xuanwu Sect Changes [-]
Deep down in his heart, Ji Song actually doesn't want to participate, but he can't help himself. Some things are not just something you don't want to do.
He can choose not to help, or he can stand by and watch, but look at what Li Jing, who historically rejected Li Shimin, looked like in the later period.
I was careful every day, even leaving the door open when sleeping, for fear of being jealous of the emperor.
Ji Song didn't dare to put his family's wealth and life on the emperor's thoughts. It was still okay to express his feelings at the right time.
Although it can’t be said to be a timely help, at least it can be regarded as the icing on the cake!
According to Ji Song's guess, Li Shimin's plan took place in the past few days.
He is not going to participate anymore. The choice has been given to Li Shimin. As for how he chooses, this is not something Ji Song should consider.
Ji Song knew that Li Jiancheng must die, there was no dispute about this.
The choice Ji Song gave Li Shimin was to minimize the evil thoughts and guilt in his heart. After the situation calmed down completely, it would depend on how Li Shimin would deal with Li Jiancheng and his relatives.
Ji Song hopes that the Tang Dynasty in the future will be greater and more glorious than the Tang Dynasty he knew in his previous life.
Therefore, Li Jiancheng cannot die, at least not really.
No matter what Ji Song thought, the development of the incident continued. When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji came to Linhu Palace, they noticed that the atmosphere was not right. In addition, they were not familiar with the people around them, and they treated them vaguely. They surrounded him and immediately knew something had happened. They turned their horses and prepared to return eastward to the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion.
But Li Shimin had been planning for so long, how could he let them leave safely? He had already led the dead soldiers who entered the imperial city in advance and generals such as Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin to wait for a long time.
"Brother, where are you going?" Just when they were about to leave, Li Shimin arrived with his troops.
"Li Shimin, what are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?" Li Jiancheng asked sternly.
"Rebellion? Didn't you force me to do this? If it weren't for your hard work, would I be where I am today?" Li Shimin laughed angrily.
"Thief, take your life!" At this moment, Li Yuanji stood with his bow and arrow and shot at Li Yuanji has always been brave, but this arrow was unexpected, and a cold light flashed away.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Yu Chigong was very angry when he saw it. He was far away and could not rescue him in time.
'Whoosh! 'Perhaps it was because of Li Shimin that the sky was boundless. At this moment, the BMW under Li Shimin's crotch moved a little to the right, causing the arrow to narrowly miss his cheek.
Li Shimin suddenly broke into a cold sweat. If he had been just a little slower, he would definitely have died.
Li Yuanji saw that the arrow he had been preparing for a long time had no effect, and he was very angry. He shot two more arrows in succession, but they were blocked by Li Shimin who was prepared.
"Let's go!" Seeing that they had not made any achievements, the two knew that the best opportunity had been lost. Now they could only have a chance of survival by breaking out of the encirclement, so they began to prepare for a breakout.
"Chase!" At this time, Li Shimin couldn't let them escape and hurriedly chased them.
Li Shimin followed and kept shooting arrows, but they were all dodged. Li Yuanji drew his bow and shot at Li Shimin. He failed to fully draw the bow two or three times in a row.
Li Shimin saw an opportunity and shot an arrow at Li Jiancheng. I don't know whether it was because Li Shimin was lucky or because Li Jiancheng was too far behind that the arrow hit Li Jiancheng well.
"what!"
Li Jiancheng was shot off his horse with an arrow. I don't know where it landed, but he fell to the ground.
When Li Yuanji saw Li Jiancheng's appearance, he immediately turned around and fled.
Li Shimin ignored Li Jiancheng and chased directly towards Li Yuanji. He knew that he must not let Li Yuanji escape no matter what at this time, otherwise the consequences for himself and others would be unpredictable.
Yuchi Jingde led 70 cavalrymen and arrived one after another. Li Shimin left a few cronies to guard Li Jiancheng, and then led Yuchi Gong to continue the pursuit. "Whoosh!"
With a whistle of arrows and a flash of cold light, the soldiers beside him shot Li Yuanji off his horse.
Li Shimin's horse ran into the woods, but was caught by a branch and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a while.
"Give me death!"
When Li Yuanji saw the opportunity, there was no reason to let it go. He knew that he might not be able to escape today.
With the relationship between him and Li Shimin, it is absolutely inevitable that he will die. Now that he has the opportunity, it is better to have someone to support him before death, so that he will not be lonely in hell.
So he quickly arrived, took away the bow and arrows, and prepared to strangle Li Shimin to death.
With Li Yuanji's courage, Li Shimin would definitely have escaped death under such an excellent opportunity, but fate likes to joke.
Perhaps Li Shimin's life should not have been cut off. At this critical moment, Yu Chigong behind him shouted loudly, and saw an arrow like a meteor shooting towards him.
Although he easily escaped with his skill, he also missed the last chance to kill Li Shimin.
With red eyes, he glanced at Li Shimin, who was lying on the ground coughing from almost suffocation, then turned and ran away.
Juewei Chi Jingde jumped on his horse and ran towards him. Seeing that Li Shimin was fine, he continued to chase Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji had no horse and could only walk to Wude Hall. Only by seeing Li Yuan could he survive. Yuchi Jingde chased after him and kept shooting arrows. After all, two legs could not run as fast as four legs. Dozens of people shot arrows at him together. , how can it be so easy to escape.
"Ah! It hurts me too!"
It turned out that someone shot an arrow into his thigh, and he could only roll on the ground in was overjoyed and prepared to go forward and kill him.
"General Yuchi, Li Shimin is a rebel. He has killed the prince. As long as the father knows about this, he, Li Shimin, will definitely not escape death. And I, and I will be the only legitimate son of the father, and the position of the prince is not mine. Mo Sui, as long as you surrender to me, how about I grant you the title of King with a different surname?"
At this time, Li Yuanji was still thinking about the position of prince, which was simply Gong came on horseback and stabbed him with a spear without any explanation.
"Uh, you. You're so cruel."
Looking again, he was dead.
When Li Shimin came to see Li Yuanji's dead body, he knelt down and gently closed Li Yuanji's eyes with a look of pain on his face.
He, Li Jiancheng, Li Xiuning, and Li Yuanji, who died young, were all born to the same mother as Queen Dou, but now they are killing each other. This is not what he wants to see.
However, if he doesn't kill Li Yuanji today, his family will die tomorrow. He has no choice. If this plan fails, he will be benevolent. There is no other way.
"Yuanji, when you were little, you liked to snatch things from your brothers and sisters. When you were little, everyone would let you do it.
However, there are some things that cannot be snatched away. Your heart is too cruel and your anger is too strong. My brother dare not hold back!Brother is afraid! "Li Shimin muttered to himself as he looked at Li Yuanji's body blankly.
"Don't blame brother, I couldn't help myself. I'll apologize to you when I get to the underworld!" Li Shimin stood up and looked up at the sky.
"Your Majesty! The Crown Prince."
This is a close confidant who came to report.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Li Shimin asked anxiously.
