When Li Xiang told the good news, Wadakhan's hand twitched unconsciously, and everyone saw this scene. If this matter has nothing to do with you, then you really think we are fools. You are still thinking about escaping. Do you think that people outside are just eating for free?
Wadahan looked at his guards, who glared at him. Although they were from Gaochang, they all had Han Chinese blood and were all selected by Su Dingfang. In name, they were protecting Wadahan, but in fact they were just monitoring this guy.
Now they have Tang soldiers behind them. You must clear yourselves of suspicion. You are responsible for monitoring Wadahan, but he has trained his own army. What is going on? Are you all blind?
These guards felt very wronged about the suspicion from the Tang Dynasty. They had been taking turns to monitor. Except for sleeping time, it was impossible for Wadahan to meet with other people alone, so they had always thought that nothing would happen. But now this incident was right in front of them, and these people had no time to quibble. There must be loopholes in their work.
Shouts of killing could be heard in the distance. As for what the outcome would be, both Wadahan and Li Xiang understood that those armed eunuchs who suddenly appeared would definitely be the losing side.
Wadahan usually spent a lot of money on them and even hired some martial arts masters for them, but it was of no use. They were only slightly stronger than ordinary guards. If they encountered the elite army of the Tang Dynasty, these people would not be enough.
The most important thing is that there are too few of them, only more than 300 people. Although they were the death squads of major families in the past, they are best at assassination. If they were to fight against a real army, these people would still not be able to catch up with the army. The main reason is that there is too little cooperation between them and they are very good at fighting alone.
But this is useless. The enemy army is charging collectively, and all the Tang army is equipped with chain crossbows. No matter how strong your personal ability is, in front of such dense chain crossbows, unless your skin can block the iron arrows, you will die here.
Li Xiang looked at Wadahan with some disappointment. I have given you many chances, but you have no intention of admitting your mistakes. Judging from your appearance, you should be prepared to stick to the end. In this case, there is no way to replace you for the time being. You must suffer a little, and you will really be a puppet in the future.
Li Xiang was also sighing at this time. Sometimes people are just not satisfied. You were just a member of a declining royal family and had no status in the country. Some dangerous tasks were assigned to you to complete, and your life was in danger at all times. Now we honor you and give you the title of king, but not only do you not know how to be grateful, you are always thinking about resistance.
Originally, it was just in his heart and he didn't show it. Li Xiang didn't want to bother with this guy, but now that you have shown it, there is nothing more to say. He has to deal with you as he should.
About an incense stick's time later, the shouting and screaming outside had stopped, and Wadahan's heart was in his throat. He knew that the generals would come to report soon, and he didn't know what the result would be. He looked around. If he could escape now, he would use all his strength to escape, but unfortunately, Li Xiang's guards had sharp eyes and were obviously masters. Can you run away?
Su Dingfang was also covered in blood after killing many people outside. When this guy walked into the yard, his armor was still dripping with blood. It was obvious that he had just participated in the battle outside. You know, at Su Dingfang's level, he basically didn't need to participate in the battle, but this guy was angry in his heart. This kind of thing happened in the area he was defending. If it was not discovered early, it might pose a threat to the safety of His Highness, so he had to kill the murderer with his own hands.
"Bring them all up to me."
Su Dingfang saw Li Xiang nod, and then he waved his hand and dozens of eunuchs came up immediately. These people were either missing an arm or a leg.
When these people were discovered, they thought it was a misunderstanding, but when they saw that all the people coming were Tang Dynasty troops, they immediately understood what was going on. The news must have leaked somewhere, so these people picked up their weapons without saying a word.
How could these people possibly be a match for the Tang army? After two rounds of volleys, these people were immediately defeated. By the time Su Dingfang led his men to charge, only a few dozen people were still able to fight. Su Dingfang ordered his men to cut off their hands and feet, but not to take their lives.
"Your Highness, these people are eunuchs from the Gaochang Palace. They all entered the palace within the past month. None of them are elderly members of the palace, and many of them are not eunuchs..."
When Su Dingfang spoke, his eyes were fixed on Wadahan. The meaning was very clear: you must give us an explanation. How could these people enter the palace like this without your approval?
Wadakhan was now at a loss for words. Su Dingfang had only valued the armed personnel within the palace and had looked down upon the eunuchs. He had always felt that these people were already castrated, so how could they possibly rebel? Unexpectedly, these people were the ones who rebelled. Wadakhan was also a man who could find loopholes, picking places that Su Dingfang hadn't explored.
"Your Majesty, these people are your people. You should make a judgment on them. I will not bypass you."
Li Xiang sneered and said, this is killing people and destroying their hearts. Didn’t you swear allegiance to Wadahan? Now let Wadahan come to judge you personally.
Wadhan's hands were shaking. These men had pledged their allegiance to him only a month before, and they were the last of his armed forces. If he killed them all, word would spread. Would anyone still be loyal to him? Furthermore, when he pronounced the verdict, these men wouldn't keep quiet, and there was a good chance they would implicate him. If that happened, would Li Xiang still be able to spare him?
