Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 350

Chapter 350 Broken East Palace

Taiji Palace, Changle Gate City Tower.

In front of him was the streets of the Imperial City, a street that connected Taiji Palace and Donggong Palace in parallel. Qin Mubai took off his uniform and wore a full set of clothes under the attendance of the two minions. At this moment, he was putting on his helmet with his hair crossed and wearing the Qilin Battle Robe Cloak.

Li Daozong stood beside him with his hands scissors behind his back and a solemn expression. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the vast Chang’an Lifang Market and the rows of lofty and glorious palaces. He said, “This is truly a troublesome autumn.”

Qin Mubai handed the Son of Heaven Sword to the guards, hung up the righteousness saber that Li Daozong had given him, and took a step forward to stand beside Li Daozong, saying, “Your Majesty has a plan?”

Li Daozong did not answer. Instead, he said, “There are two things I want to remind you of.”

“Your Highness, please speak.”

“First, no matter who it is, you must not kill it.” Li Daozong said, “Including Li Yuanchang.”

“I know.” Qin Mubai nodded. This was not an ordinary, simple military rebellion, but an armed rebellion forced out of an irreconcilable political struggle. In the end, such a matter would have to be resolved through political means. Killing alone would not solve the fundamental problem. Moreover, killing too many people at such a time was not good for anyone.

Especially Qin Mubai.

If this hand was stained with the blood of the royal family, no matter whose it was, it would still be a stain and a hidden danger. Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian are already dogs in the water, and they will die sooner or later. Qin Mubai was also very calm. Why would he dare to act like a hero at such a time and beat the dog in front of its owner?

Just let it drown in the torrent of politics.

“Second, there’s someone you need to pay special attention to.” Dao Sect Li said.

“Who?”

“City Gate Lang, Eldest Sun Huan, who is stationed at Nanya to guard the Nine Gates.” Li Daozong spoke in a low voice, but his expression was very serious. He said, “Originally, he was supposed to be with the Crown Prince and Li Yuanchang.” However, in recent days, perhaps Eldest Sun Wuji had noticed that he had almost tied up Eldest Sun Huan, isolating him from the Crown Prince and the others, ordering him not to get too close to the Crown Prince and the others. However, at this moment, Changsun Huan was still stationed at the nine gates of Chang’an. “If he responds to Li Yuanchang’s mutiny and closes the nine gates of Chang’an at this time, we will all be turtles in a jar.”

Qin Mubai’s heart tightened. He knitted his brows and thought for a while, then said, “Since His Highness had already anticipated this, he should have prepared for it.”

Dao Sect Li pondered for a moment and said, “Don’t ask about this.” Although Chang Sun Huan was Chang Sun Wuji’s son, it was normal for father and son to play daggers at a time like this when life and death were at stake. Therefore, you must be careful. There is nothing like being on the safe side. “If Changsun Huan really jumps over the wall and closes the nine gates of Chang’an in response to Li Yuanchang’s betrayal, it will definitely be a disaster that will affect the entire Chang’an!”

After Qin Mubai heard this, he nodded quietly and remained silent.

Although Li Daozong’s words were frightening enough, Qin Mubai was not stupid at all. He was as smart as Li Daozong and had the Emperor’s Son of Heaven Sword in his hand. Obviously, all of this was planned by Li Shimin, who was “sick”.

The reason why Li Daozong hadn’t moved the slightest bit of hair on Eldest Sun Huan until now was because, for the sake of Eldest Sun Wuji’s face. In other words, Li Shimin had specifically warned him for the sake of Eldest Sun Wuji.

Of course, on the other hand, Li Shimin and Li Daozong were both experienced and prudent great politicians. They would not treat the safety of Chang’an and the empire less favourably than someone’s face. It wasn’t hard to imagine that they would have been prepared. Even if Changsun Huanzi suicidal path followed Li Yuanchang into the fire kang, rebellion, it would still be a dead end.

In front of Li Shimin and Li Daozong, the two old dragon kings, the loach in the sewer could not turn the tide.

Inside the Changle Sect, the guards and guards were gathering nervously. Presumably, it won’t be long before they can be completely rectified. Whether it was Li Yuanchang who came to seek death or Qin Mubai who led his troops into the Eastern Palace to capture the Thief and King, it would only take two hours for everything to settle.

At this time, the three women walked up to the city gate and stood out amongst a group of golden-armored and red-robed men.

“It’s you?” Qin Mubai glanced sideways at them. It was Su Lianqing and the Tantai sisters, so he said to them, “What are you doing here?” ,

“Greetings, General Qin.” Su Lianqing didn’t dare to lose her manners when everyone else was present. The three women bowed together and said, “We three were hired by the general. We have already handed over our previous assignments. Now, of course, we can only return to the general’s side and wait for orders.”

“Go home and protect my family.” Qin Mubai said.

“The Imperial City is already closed. We cannot leave at this time.” Su Lianqing said.

“Alright then. Stay by my side for now.” Qin Mubai waved her hand and said, “Give them the blades.”

“If the two of them use swords, I’ll use weapons.” Su Lianqing still smiled playfully.

Qin Mubai glared at her, “Within the Imperial City, within the army, Zhuang Zhong is the most important!”

“Oh, yes, yes.” Su Lian straightened her face. She followed the example of the soldiers and stood upright. The soldiers of Baiji couldn’t help but laugh.

At this time, a rider ran over from across the street and stopped in front of Changle Gate. He cupped his hands and shouted upstairs, “Your Highness, General Qin! There is something wrong with Vermillion Bird Gate!”

“What is it?” Qin Mubai asked, “Could it be that the rebels have arrived?”

“No.” The messenger replied loudly, “It’s Apothecary Li, Duke Wei. He and the corps commander Su Dingfang sat down in front of the closed Vermillion Bird Gate with a chessboard and played tea. We didn’t dare to ask any more questions. Duke Wei didn’t say anything. He just sat there and played chess, attracting the attention of many people in Chang’an.”

“Oh?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but be a little surprised and amused. “My old master, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that he wants to sit there and scare the rebels away?”

“Who said no?” Li Daozong chuckled, half joking and half serious, “That young eldest son of a bitch, if he heard that Medicine Master Li was standing in front of Vermillion Bird Gate, would he dare to defend against the rebellion?” That’s not courting death! No matter how tightly he closed the gate of Chang’an and how many soldiers and horses he brought, when those people saw Apothecary Li, they instantly didn’t recognize his eldest Sun Huan. Instead, they would chop his eldest Sun Huan into meat paste and offer him to Duke Wei as a greeting gift. ”

“Who is it, Li Jing?” Su Lianqing asked in surprise, “Is this old man that powerful?”

“You’re tired of living!” Qin Mubai shouted, “How dare you disrespect my master?”

Su Lianqing stuck out her tongue in surprise. The Tantai sisters hurriedly pulled her to the back and whispered, “Big sister Su, this kind of occasion is not like normal. You can live for a moment longer with just a few words. Think about it for yourself!”

“Don’t worry about Duke Wei. Open the city gate of Vermillion Bird City and evacuate the crowd to serve the tea.” Qin Mubai ordered the messenger downstairs, “Duke Wei and Su Dingfang play a game of chess, and you will serve them for a moment. There must be no mistakes!”

“Yes!”

“Haha!” Li Daozong laughed heartily, “I, the Great Tang, still have these few founding bones that haven’t died yet. There’s also a disciple like you, a rising star that can be regarded as a pillar of strength. How can those clowns turn the heavens? Poor Crown Prince, that ridiculous Li Yuanchang, hey …”

“Your Highness, general, the hundred cavalry have gathered. Please give the order!” Baiji deputy envoy Cheng Huaibi, come forward to report.

Li Daozong still cut his hands behind his back and nodded to Qin Mubai, “Go! The matter must be resolved. Just block Li Yuanchang in the Eastern Palace and take action first. If you can reduce the disaster, then you can count as one point.”

“Alright, I’ll go first.” Qin Mubai bowed to Li Daoist Sect and instructed Cheng Huaibi to stay here to guard the palace gate. He brought Su Lianqing and the other two girls down the stairs and mounted their horses.

Qin Mubai unsheathed his righteous saber and rode on his horse to wave his saber, “Hundred Cavalry, listen up! Target, Donggong! Capture Li Yuanchang alive and calm down the rebellion! Those who surrender will be spared death, those who resist will be killed!”

“Yes!”

Three hundred Baiji, mighty and majestic.

Above the city tower, Li Daozong’s eyebrows narrowed as he sighed, “Three hundred Baiji, no less than thirty thousand lions! How many rebels are there in the Eastern Palace? At most, there are two to three thousand rebels in the Eastern Palace. Even though they are several times stronger than Qin Mubai, they will not be able to withstand a single blow!”

Just at this moment, a series of shouts of killing came from the west side of the Tongxun Gate, and the battle began.

“Li Yuanchang, you are truly desperate to resist death. You truly dare to take the lead.” Dao Sect Li gritted his teeth and shouted at the city downstairs, “Mu Bai, do your best to attack the Eastern Palace!”

“Yes!” Qin Mubai shouted, “Hundred Cavalry, follow me!”

The Changle Palace Gate Convention opened. The cavalry surged, and Qin Mubai rode out. Behind him, three hundred hundred cavalry followed closely behind. The iron hooves stepped on the brick path of the Imperial City with a clanging sound.

Li Daozong narrowed his eyes and looked at the soldiers at the two city gates. He listened to the sounds of people shouting and fighting and said emotionally, “Fortunately, the Crown Prince Cheng Qian still had a trace of conscience in his final moments. He took the initiative to tell Li Yuanchang the detailed steps he had taken to plot against the Party.” At this moment, he had taken a life for himself. Sigh, this Crown Prince of his has already come to an end. How should I spend the next half of my life? ”

The nearby Cheng Huaibi said, “Your Highness, in fact, I don’t think the Crown Prince is really that bad.” The real bad thing was Li Yuanchang! Many bad things were done by the Crown Prince under Li Yuanchang’s deception and instigation. Previously, the Crown Prince had also been a virtuous and capable Monarch. It was only after staying with Li Yuanchang for a long time that he gradually became like this. “Li Yuanchang, this fellow should be killed!”

After listening for a long time, Li Daozong didn’t say anything and sighed, “Then have you ever thought about why Li Yuanchang didn’t harm other princes? He is upright and doesn’t order them to go. He is not upright and doesn’t order them to go. On the other hand, if the Crown Prince didn’t break his promise first, how would Li Yuanchang dare to drag him into the water? The so-called smell is similar and flies don’t stare at seamless eggs.”

Cheng Huaibi shook his head and sighed.

“However, Crown Prince Cheng Qian is indeed not a person of great evil and evil. Most likely, the reason why he has come to this point is because he was forced to do so.” Dao Sect Li quietly stopped and stopped talking.

Cheng Huaibi didn’t dare to ask.

Could it be that you still need to ask who forced you to do so?

Everyone knew that half of them were emperors and the other half were kings of Wei. Li Chengqian, the eldest son of the first wife, was the ruler of the country and had a long way to go. From his birth, he shouldered the mission and burden entrusted to him by the royal family and the empire. His childhood, youth, and youth were all under such heavy pressure.

Moreover, he had an extremely powerful and outstanding father. At every moment, people couldn’t help but compare him with his father.

Actually, it was hard to match up to a famous person.

Growing up in such an environment, Li Chengqian would only go to extremes. Either he was extremely wise and outstanding, or a genius would be reduced to rubbish under pressure.

Li Chengqian turned the latter into a matter.

He was a tragedy. Perhaps from the moment he was born, he was destined to have such a fate. Just as Cheng Huai-pi said, the former Li Cheng-kan was also very outstanding and outstanding. However, as he grew older, the pressure increased day by day. Along with the stubbornness of the Fourth Wei King, he was finally unable to withstand the heavy pressure. He began to walk the extreme and decadent edge of the sword. He broke the jar and fell, heading towards this extreme.

Li Yuanchang was only a “helping force” in his path to extinction. A single kick from his sect wasn’t the decisive factor.

Many people knew these things. However, Li Chengqian might not be able to figure it out clearly.

Therefore, in the court today, Li Zhi, who was only a half-grown boy, shed tears because of Li Chengqian. Eldest Sun Wuji was saddened by his unfortunate anger and refused to argue, and Li Daozong’s reprimand was filled with pity and sympathy.

Also, Li Shimin, who had been hiding in the ward, did not want to come forward and personally witness this situation. Wasn’t his heart cut like a knife?

…

Qin Mubai raised her saber and headed straight for Donggong Zhongming Sect.

The gate of the Chongming Sect actually opened, and a tiger of soldiers charged out from within.

Qin Mubai recognized the leading general. Lee An-yan, the corps commander of the Zuotun Guards, had once taken up his post among the hundred cavalry for a short period of time. Later, he was transferred out and settled in the Zuotun Guards. This matter was handled by Qin Mubai himself. It wasn’t hard to imagine that Li Anyan hated Qin Mubai at that time. Today, as the corps commander of the Zuotun Guards, he had rebelled against Li Yuanchang. The first person he met was his former enemy, Qin Mubai, and he was extremely jealous.

‘”Kill!” Li Anyan was a true general of the battlefield, otherwise he wouldn’t have been transferred to the Hundred Cavalry. Without hesitating, he let out a roar and thrust his spear towards Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai narrowed her eyes. Her long-inactive body was still strong and sharp. She sliced open Li Anyan’s spear head-on, crossed horses, and stepped out of his waist ribs.

In such an instant of lightning and flint, a verdict was handed down!

Lee An-yan was kicked and fell unsteadily on the sprinting horse. The Baiji cavalry followed suit and shot him through the throat. Li Anyan’s eyes widened to the size of a copper bell as he watched countless horse hooves trample past him. His eyes exploded and his body instantly became bloody.

When the main general was killed, the souls of the Eastern Palace rebels immediately scattered. Originally, they weren’t elite teachers. Normally, these soldiers could only be regarded as guards of honor for the Crown Prince. Few of them had truly gone to the battlefield and killed people who had seen blood before. Facing the army of the King of Soldiers, Baiji was like a flock of lambs facing a hungry tiger descending the mountain.

Qin Mubai led the hundred cavalry, as if they were invincible!

In the blink of an eye, the Chongming Sect had been destroyed. Blood flowed everywhere along the way. More than a hundred corpses had already been added to the ground, and none of them belonged to Baiji.

The souls of the rebels of the Eastern Palace scattered, and they no longer cared to fight, fleeing in all directions like birds and beasts.

Qin Mubai led his troops into the Eastern Palace until they reached the main hall of the Eastern Palace, Mingde Hall. He did not encounter any strong resistance. He left behind dozens of people to search the palace for subordinates, and then personally led the rest of the troops to the Tongxun Sect that connected the Eastern Palace and Taiji Palace.

There were quite a few soldiers here.

Just now, Li Anyan led about seven or eight hundred soldiers out of the Ming Sect, intending to attack the Changle Sect and respond to the Tongxun Sect. Unexpectedly, he collided head-on with Qin Mubai, the Great Fiend Star, and was instantly killed, causing him to lose his armor and fall into disarray. The soldiers who responded and responded along the way were defeated, and the Eastern Palace rebels here at the Tongxun Sect were turned into turtles in a jar by the enemy.

Tongxun sect rebel general, is hanwang li yuanchang.

He was just a playboy prince. Not to mention killing enemies, he had never personally done anything like splattering blood on the blade. Li Yuanchang’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the Donggong Six leading troops attacking the Ming Xun Sect being attacked by the Imperial City Guards Legion Corps, who were trying their best to defend the city.

Suddenly, he heard a murderous cry coming from behind him. A tiger cavalry rushed over like a torrent of steel. Li Yuanchang was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground from his horse. He cried out loudly, “Who is that? Whose army is that?”

“Your Highness, those are Hundred Cavalry! Hundred Cavalry!”

“What, Hundred Cavalry?!” Li Yuanchang’s eyes immediately split apart!

The might and power of the Hundred Cavalry was one reason for fear, and the other was precisely because … Since the Emperor’s personal guards, the Hundred Cavalry, had all come to fight, that meant that the Emperor was suppressing this rebellion!

“It’s over, it’s over … Li Shimin, this treacherous villain, will definitely cheat!” Li Yuanchang’s face was pale and his entire body trembled, and his eyes straightened.

“King, Your Highness! It’s Qin Mubai, the Hundred Cavalry led by Qin Mubai!” Donggong Liuliu, who was beside him, cried out in panic.

“Whoever he is, kill him, kill him! Charge up and kill him!” Li Yuanchang was on the verge of collapse in despair. Evil came from the gallbladder, but he was no longer afraid. He actually pulled out his saber and danced wildly, causing the general beside him to rush back to fight against Qin Mubai and Baiji.

The Eastern Palace General relied on the large number of people and gritted his teeth as he rushed over with a roar.

Qin Mubai shouted, “Capture the thief and capture the king!”

He raised his saber and landed, sending a human flying into the sky. The horse hissed, and blood sprayed out like a pillar!

“Leave it to me!” With a coquettish reprimand, Su Lianqing dodged the strange clouds and flew up from the mount like a demonic ghost. She stepped on the mount and armor of Baiji and the rebels and rushed towards Li Yuanchang.

“Demonic woman! It really is you!” Li Yuanchang shouted angrily and hurriedly, and the saber in his hand flew wildly.

“Bandit, you’re not bound!” Su Lianqing jumped up like nothing in the air and casually raised her hand, sprinkling a ball of perfume on Li Yuanchang’s face.

Li Yuanchang instantly became like an orchestral dressing with a face full of ecstasy and fell to the ground without any struggle.

At this time, the rebels standing beside Li Yuanchang finally reacted and rushed forward to rob Li Yuanchang to kill Su Lianqing.

Su Lianqing shouted, “Oh no, I’m finished!”

Run away, jump around!

Qin Mubai fought in the formation and saw Su Lianqing being pursued by a group of soldiers from afar. She was both angry and funny. She shouted and rushed forward, leaving a bloody path in the enemy’s jungle. She shouted, “Sister Tantai, save her!”

“Yes!” Hearing the order, the two sisters pulled themselves out of their horses. The two swords caused a cold light to shine all over his body. In addition, the twins cooperated tacitly and quickly killed a path through the chaotic army, saving Su Lianqing from the encirclement.

Li Yuanchang was sprinkled with a mysterious drug on his face. The general left and right slapped his face swollen and couldn’t wake anyone up. They all complained bitterly.

At this moment, the door to the training gate suddenly opened, and a tiger of soldiers and horses ferociously charged out. The leading general was another deputy envoy of Baiji, Yuchi Baoyun. He rode on a large black horse, using the same iron whip as his father. His tall and majestic body was exceptionally eye-catching. A cavalry was the first to slaughter into the enemy, like a tiger into a flock of sheep.

Following closely behind him was a group of hundred cavalry and nearly a thousand Golden Cavalry Guards.

The momentum of the front and back attacks was completely lost. Li Yuanchang’s defeat was like a mountain falling, and there was no longer any suspense in the battle.

Two hours later, the shouts that shook Chang’an calmed down.

The Eastern Palace was filled with a strong smell of blood, and corpses could be seen everywhere. Many Eastern Palace officials, palace maids, eunuchs, and the others were all surrounded by Baiji. They were all silent like cicadas, and occasionally someone cried out in panic.

Qin Mubai rode his horse and slowly walked between the Baiji soldiers and the captive corpses. The Tantai sisters walked over and bowed to Li Yuanchang, “General, our sisters have captured him. He is unconscious, but there are no wounds all over his body. Although our sisters hate this thief, we did not get a general’s order and did not touch a single hair of his body.”

“Very good. It’s been hard work.” Qin Mubai blinked her eyes and looked around. “Where’s Su Lianqing?” She asked.

The two sisters couldn’t help laughing and whispered, “Big Sister Su, you’ve been fighting for quite some time. You’ve hid on the roof of Mingde Hall to catch a cold.”

“That’s outrageous.” Qin Mubai was so angry that he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He shouted in a low voice, “Call her down, or else I’ll kill her head!”

The sisters hurriedly left. Yuchi Baoyun flapped his horse and bowed, saying, “General Qin, everything is over. At the end of the day, we will send people to count the battlefield. Li Yuanchang, the thieving emperor, is captured alive. I will listen to General Qin.”

“Alright. I’ll have to trouble Brother Yuchi to take care of the matters here. Leave Li Yuanchang to this general to bring back.” Qin Mubai said.

Yuchi Baoyun clasped his fist and raised his hand. The pawn brought a horse over. The unconscious Li Yuanchang was tied firmly and pressed down on the saddle like a sack.

Qin Mubai glanced at him and asked Baiji, who was his trusted aide, to accompany him and escort Li Yuanchang into Taiji Palace through the Tongxun Sect. At this time, Su Lianqing and the other three women also followed. The group avoided the eyes and ears of the soldiers and entered a secluded palace alley.

“Su Lianqing, how did you wake him up?” Qin Mubai asked.

Su Lianqing smiled and said, “It’s simple. Use a large bucket of water to pour on him and drink a lot of water. You can wake up in less than an hour.”

“Is there anything faster?”

“Give him a drink of urine.” Su Lianqing crossed her hands and hugged her chest, smiling evilly.

Everyone chuckled, but Qin Mubai did not laugh. Instead, he said with a straight face, “In the future, you only need to say good things, and you need to mention bad ways to waste time-you guys, what are you waiting for?”

The soldiers of the Hundred Cavalry did not know whether to laugh or cry as they curled their faces and whispered, “General, we just fought for a while, but there was sweat. I really didn’t pee.”

“There’s no need to be. Cut the crap.” Qin Mubai shouted, “Drag him to a quiet place and wake him up. Otherwise, it won’t be fun at all.”

“Yes” The soldiers could only agree, lifting Li Yuanchang up and moving him to a quiet place, whispering and arguing.

“You can do it. Didn’t you get angry recently?”

“Bah! Yours is still a boy’s piss! You go!”

“I didn’t!”

‘”Didn’t the general say that there was no need to have it? You don’t need a woman nor can you pee. What’s the use of that thing? You can’t do such a trivial thing. Forget about castrating it!”
