Chapter Seven hundred and twelve: The Change of the Xuanwu Gate
"Yu Chigong," Yu Wenbao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this strange yet slightly familiar name, but soon he had no time to be stunned, because what he had to face was the opponent's second move.
I saw the iron gun in Yu Chigong's hand spinning in a circle in the air. Suddenly, it turned into countless shadows and shrouded Yu Wenbao. Seeing Yu Chigong's move, Yu Wenbao was also horrified. You know, this iron spear is not a light weapon like a spear, but a real heavy weapon. Even compared to a sledgehammer, a big ax is not far behind. A general who can use the iron spear flexibly has amazing arm strength, and may be able to use the iron spear. If he uses it like Yu Chigong, his arm strength is absolutely unimaginable.
Surprised, Yu Wenbao still had to find a way to resist the opponent's attack. The painted halberd still in Yu Wenbao's hand was not light, so Yu Wenbao simply gritted his teeth, summoned all his strength, and waved the painted halberd to resist the sky-wide attack. Tie Shu, heard dense crashing sounds, and with every crashing sound, Yu Wenbao had to take a step back, including his men and horses. When the sounds stopped, Yu Wenbao had completely retreated to the palace of Xuanwu Gate. In front of the door, before Yu Wenbao could take a breath, his body suddenly swayed, but the mount Yu Wenbao was sitting on couldn't bear it, foamed at the mouth, and fell directly to the ground.
Yuchi Gong glanced at Yu Wenbao, who was getting up from the ground in a mess, and soon moved his eyes to Li Yuanji who was next to Yu Wenbao. As soon as Li Yuanji saw Yu Chigong's murderous eyes, he was immediately frightened. My whole body went weak, and I couldn't help crying: "Spare, spare, spare my life, don't, don't kill me, don't kill me,"
"The King of Qin is destined. Neither the Crown Prince nor His Highness the King of Qi will survive." Looking at Li Yuanji's pleading look, Yu Chigong's face showed no mercy at all, and he snorted indifferently. Then, Yu Chi Gong He just raised the iron gun in his hand again, aimed at Li Yuanji, and was ready to go.
"Ah," just when Yuchi Gong reached out for the iron fist, another loud shout sounded from the side, but Yu Wenbao ignored his injuries and jumped again, blocking Li Yuanji's face with his hands. His painted halberd held Tie Shu tightly, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and groaned: "As long as I, Yu Wenbao, am here, no one can hurt King Qi."
"He is indeed a good man." Seeing Yu Wenbao's actions, Yu Chigong couldn't help but exclaimed. However, compared with Yu Wenbao's appearance of exerting all his strength, Yu Chigong seemed to be able to do it with ease, sitting on a war horse. Yuchi Gong was condescending, looked at Yu Wenbao and Li Yuanji and snorted coldly: "If King Qin wants King Qi to die, King Qi must die,"
After that, Yu Chigong saw that he held the iron spear with both hands and exerted force. The iron spear immediately pressed the halberd and stabbed forward. Yu Wenbao couldn't resist even if he used all his strength. He could only watch the iron spear. The iron sword passed over the painted halberd and directly pierced his abdomen, but even so, Yu Wenbao still had no intention of giving up. He actually threw the painted halberd to the side, grabbed the iron iron gun with both hands, raised his head, and stared. Looking at Yu Chigong, several blood stains slowly flowed down from the corners of his mouth. Yu Wenbao even opened his mouth wide and let the blood gush out, but he roared: "Prince Qi, run away quickly."
Li Yuanji didn't want to run, but the palace gate of Xuanwu Gate was tightly closed. Even if he wanted to run, where could he run? In the end, Li Yuanji could only make the last effort, that is, towards the palace gate. He shouted for help: "Li Xiaochang, help me, come and save me,"
There is such a big commotion here, how can there be no reaction outside the palace gate, but the thick iron chain has already locked the palace door, people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. Come, Li Yuanji can even feel the sound of soldiers and horses outside hitting the palace door, but he can't open the palace door. Behind him, Yu Wenbao has run out of gas, and his last life has been consumed by Yuchi Gong. Yu Chigong frowned and looked at the man who was still holding on to his iron pole even after he died. However, he held the iron pole and shook it hard. Yu Wenbao's body was now removed from the iron pole. Was thrown out.
Without the obstruction of Yu Wenbao, Yu Chigong once again raised the iron gun in his hand and looked at Li Yuanji coldly. He could take action at any time. At this time, Li Shimin's voice came from behind Yu Chigong: "Jingde, stop. "
After Li Shimin spoke, Yuchi Gong naturally stopped, and Li Yuanji also turned around and looked at Li Shimin who was slowly walking towards him on horseback. He immediately crawled towards Li Shimin on his knees with runny nose and tears. He shouted: "Second brother, second brother, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, please spare me, spare me, please, second brother, I am your biological brother,"
Li Shimin allowed Li Yuanji to lie in front of his horse, and even grabbed his calf, but his eyes refused to look down at all, and always looked ahead indifferently. After a long while, Li Shimin finally said softly He sighed and said quietly: "Brother, brother,"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuanji immediately beamed with joy, while the generals behind Li Shimin had expressions on their faces. Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Li Shimin: "King Qin, if you can't kill a tiger, you will surely suffer from it. Tens of millions of people will be killed." A woman's kindness cannot leave a legacy of disaster."
Not only Duan Zhixuan, but other generals also started to persuade them, but before they could say a word, Li Shimin stopped them with a wave of his hand. At this time, Li Yuanji also shouted: " Second brother, second brother, don't worry, I will never go against you again. I am your biological brother and your only brother. From now on, I will follow you wholeheartedly. You are the prince. He is the crown prince of our Tang Dynasty and the future heir apparent. If anyone is not convinced, I will help you kill him, second brother, second brother,"
Faced with the threat of death, Li Yuanji's words were somewhat incoherent. In response, Li Shimin's face did not change at all, and he sighed again. This time he finally lowered his head and looked at his brother at his feet. His eyes were filled with all kinds of complicated emotions. After a while, just when Li Yuanji thought Li Shimin was going to let him go, Li Shimin suddenly flicked his foot, broke away from Li Yuanji's hand, and turned the horse's head directly. Walking towards the direction of the palace, he dropped a sentence: "Jingde, let's do it."
"Second brother," Li Shimin's actions also made Li Yuanji completely dumbfounded. But just when Li Yuanji was about to plead to Li Shimin again, he felt something protruding from his chest. He lowered his head and looked, He saw only a small spike break through his chest, and traces of blood were left on the ground along the spike. Li Yuanji felt that his eyes were gradually becoming blurry, and Li Shimin's back in front of him could no longer be clearly seen. Li Yuanji used up his last bit of strength and stretched out his hand towards Li Shimin's back, trying to catch something, but he could only catch a ball of nothing. Finally, Li Yuanji opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't. As the spike protruded outward again, Li Yuanji's throat only had time to make a little noise, and then there was no more sound.
Behind Li Yuanji, Yu Chigong held the iron pole with both hands. He lifted up Li Yuanji who was hanging on the iron pole with all his strength. He shouted angrily and threw Li Yuanji's body forward. Yuchi Gong's power was so great that Li Yuanji's body actually drew an arc in the air, and finally fell directly next to Li Jiancheng, who had been shot by Li Shimin's arrow earlier. The bodies of the two brothers were stacked on top of each other, but It's made into a ridiculous "big" character.
But Li Shimin didn't react at all to what happened behind him, stopped his mount, and then coldly ordered the generals behind him: "Cut off the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji who intend to rebel, and hang them outside the Xuanwu Gate. , if the rebels outside the gate are still stubborn, mobilize soldiers and horses to kill them all, and at the same time send a signal to the army of General Yin Kaishan outside the city, asking them to capture the rebel accomplice Yuan Baohe and all the rebels. All those who resist will be shot without mercy."
"Here," Liu Hongji and other generals shouted in unison, clasping their fists at Li Shimin, and immediately got busy. However, Li Shimin ignored this and continued to ride towards the palace in front of him. Rush in the direction.
"Your Majesty," when Li Shimin walked through the palace gate, a call came from the side. Li Shimin turned around and saw that his general Liu Shili was leaning against the palace wall. When he saw Li Shimin turning his head, Liu Shili The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a weird smile, but he cupped his fists and saluted Li Shimin, and said: "No, you should change your name to His Royal Highness, or directly address him as Your Majesty,"
After hearing Liu Shili's words, Li Shimin turned around and said indifferently: "I can't ascend the throne yet. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have just died. The stability of the Tang Dynasty must be taken into consideration. In the short term, I will still act as the prince." It is more appropriate to supervise the country,”
"In a short period of time?" After listening to Li Shimin's words, Liu Shili seemed to understand the meaning of Li Shimin's words, and said with a smile: "It seems that His Highness still cannot completely cut off this last fetter. It seems that he still wants to keep this The last love between father and son?"
Although Li Shimin did not look back, his cheeks twitched, and his eyes became more and more cold, and he snorted: "Not everyone can be as ruthless and unjust as you, I will go now Seeing my father, I believe that at this point, my father will no longer worry about which choice to make,"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he was about to continue walking forward, but Liu Shili suddenly shouted: "Your Highness, you have got what you want, then what we agreed before..."
"Don't worry," Li Shimin did not stop there, but continued to walk forward, leaving behind a sentence as he walked: "From today on, Xiaoyaomen will be the state religion of the Tang Dynasty,"
