Chapter 944: An Eye For An Eye

As soon as Li Jiancheng walked into the hall, he saw Su Dingfang kneeling in front of Li Yuan and immediately ordered: "Su Dingfang, catch Your Majesty."

Qian Jiulong was shocked and immediately pulled Li Yuan back.

At the same time, Ding Zhi, Liu Xiaowei and others aimed their weapons at Su Dingfang.

The atmosphere in the hall became tense instantly.

Seeing this scene, Li Jiancheng was very angry: "Su Dingfang, you missed such a good opportunity. It's such a waste."

Su Dingfang smiled mockingly, then slowly stood up, Wuwei's sharp weapons around him, turned around and looked at Li Jiancheng:

"Your Highness, you have made mistakes again and again. Now you are launching wars and seeking power to usurp the throne. You are so rebellious that the people of the world will not support you.

"It's better to put down your weapons now and order them to surrender. I believe that your Majesty will spare your life for your sincere repentance."

Li Jiancheng sneered: "My life doesn't need to be decided by others. But you, it's really stupid to betray me at this time.

"You should know the current situation better than anyone else. Soon, I will be able to take the throne with justification.

"And the master behind you has lost his power.

"What's more, he's going to kill you now."

Hearing these words, Li Yuan's face turned pale, but the next moment, what Su Dingfang said made his heart feel a lot more comfortable.

"Even if I am killed by His Majesty now, I will not be a traitor."

Surrounded by swords, Su Dingfang was still fearless and full of righteousness.

"You..." Li Jiancheng was so angry that he said ruthlessly: "Su Dingfang, if you dare to betray me, I will make you regret it."

However, Wang Yu praised Su Dingfang in his heart: Good.

Li Yuan also admired Su Dingfang very much and immediately ordered: "Let him go."

Ding Zhi hesitated for a moment, then put down his weapons.

The others then put down their weapons.

Su Dingfang knelt down again excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

But Qian Jiulong took the opportunity to wink at the Imperial Guard.

So, after Li Yuan asked Su Dingfang and Lin Zhi to realize it, several imperial guards came over and said to them: "Su Wei led the Marquis of Pingnan, and the rebels were fierce, so you should avoid it."

Then, without any explanation, he pulled Su Dingfang and Lin Zhiwu to the corner, far away from Li Yuan.

Su Dingfang saw their thoughts, but did not resist.

Lin Zhiwu followed Su Dingfang, but his mind was not on the current situation of the battle. His eyes were always following the beautiful figure ahead.

Li Jiancheng on the opposite side was posed by Wang Yu, and he was very angry. He looked at Wang Yu's eyes and seemed to be able to spit out fire: "Wang Yu, you dare to tease me, I can't spare you."

Then he ordered: "Archer is ready."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jiulong's face changed drastically and he immediately ordered: "Go and get the shield."

The Imperial Guard immediately moved the shield from the inner hall, and each handed in the front.

Li Jiancheng's archer was already in place. He raised his hands high and was about to give the order when Wang Yu spoke.

"Prince, have you forgotten that I still have a firearm in my hand?"

Wang Yu raised the firearm high and said loudly: "If you dare to shoot arrows, I will pull the iron ring and die with Your Majesty. Prince, you should not get the edict to pass on the throne."

As she said that, she covered her other hand with an iron ring and made a pulling action.

Li Jiancheng clenched his fists in hatred and gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Yu, you are ruthless."

Although Li Jiancheng did not order the arrow to be fired, he did not give up.

He turned his head and ordered Shan Xiongxin, and then Shan Xiongxin left the hall.

With such a familiar behavior, Wang Yu couldn't help but guess: He wouldn't want to take hostages again, right?

She guessed right.

Soon, Shan Xiongxin came back, and behind him, dozens of Changlin soldiers took several hostages, including Princess Yongjia, Princess Jiujiang, Princess Zhao, Princess Song...all of them were Li Yuan's children.

As soon as they saw Li Yuan, they cried out for help: "Father save me, save us..."

"Kneel down."

The rebels pressed them down roughly and put their knife around their necks.

Feeling the chill on their necks, they stopped struggling and did not dare to move. They just cried and begged Li Yuan: "Father, save us..."

Li Jiancheng looked at Wang Yu provocatively, as if saying: Can you save so many people?

Then, he shouted to Li Yuan: "Father, if you don't want to see them die here, write a decree to me as soon as possible."

"You..." Li Yuan was furious and pointed at Li Jiancheng and scolded: "You dare to kill your brothers, you are crazy.

"At the time, Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu said that the King of Qin was bloodthirsty and if the King of Qin became the crown prince, he would definitely not let go of his brothers and sisters.

"The prince is kind, and only if the prince inherits the throne can he protect my children.

"Now it seems that you are the bloodthirsty wolf, and your father doesn't even let go of your brothers and feet."

Li Jiancheng did not refute Li Yuan’s accusation: “During the time when my father was detaining me, I was always reflecting on why I fell to this point?

"Later, I realized that being too kind can't achieve great things. It was because I was too kind to Li Shimin in the past that led to the current situation.

"What's more, since ancient times, the change of imperial power has been full of bones. What's the point of killing a few people?"

"You..." Li Yuan was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Li Jiancheng no longer talked to him nonsense and said ruthlessly: "I will count three times. If my father does not agree to write the edict of passing on the throne, I will kill them all."

"one......"

"Father saves us..." Princess Yongjia and others were young after all, and instinctively chose to ask for help from their father in the face of death.

Li Yuan looked at them with heartache.

"two......"

"Father, I don't want to die."

"Father, I don't want to die either..."

"three......"

"stop."

Before Li Jiancheng finished speaking, a female voice rang in his ears.

But this time it was not Wang Yu's voice, but someone else's voice.

Everyone looked at the door together.

Gao Huitong led dozens of palace maids to escort Zheng Guanyin and Li Chengdao, confronted the rebels all the way, and finally arrived here in time.

"Get out of the way, otherwise I will kill them." Gao Huitong held a dagger and pressed it against Li Chengdao's neck.

Before Li Jiancheng could order, Zheng Guanyin, who was also pressed against the neck by a dagger, shouted loudly: "Why don't you get out of here? Do you want Prince Anlu and I to die here?"

Upon hearing this, the rebels quickly took the hostages and retreated aside.

Li Jiancheng was furious and questioned Ke Dazhi who was chasing Gao Huitong: "Why didn't you report me earlier when the Crown Princess and Prince Anlu were arrested?"

Ke Dazhi lowered his head ashamed: "We discovered it only when they took the Crown Princess and Prince Anlu hostage to Tai Chi Palace, and their martial arts are not weak..."

Speaking of the latter, his voice became smaller and smaller.

Gao Huitong had already taken hostages to Wang Yu and Li Yuan.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, to the Princess." Everyone saluted.

Li Yuan was very happy: "If you do well, you will be exempt from gifts."

This rebellious son dared to hold his children hostage. Now he has the rebellious son's son in his hand.

Li Yuan immediately said to Li Jiancheng: "Rebellious son, let King Zhao and others go quickly, otherwise I will kill your wife and children."

"Your Majesty..." Zheng Guanyin looked panicked.

Li Chengdao looked at Li Yuan at a loss: "Grandfather, I am your grandson. Do you have the heart to kill me?"

Hearing this "grandfather", Li Yuan felt ache, but the next moment, he said coldly: "Your father is so rebellious that he not only seeks power and usurps the throne, but also kills the throne.

"You are his son, and you will bear his sins."

Hearing this, Li Chengdao's face looked like earth, and then shouted at Li Jiancheng: "Father, save me and my mother..."
