still be lenient."From a light punishment, it is not that there is no punishment.Zhao Qinglan knew very well that Li Chen's analysis was sound. This assassination was most likely planned by Li Yinhǔ,...Chapter 1024: Bypass and Attack the Temple of Heaven
Su Pingbei suddenly increased his volume, reprimanding: "The common people are innocent. What do they have to do with these things"
They are each father, son, mother, and daughter to their respective families, they are the pillars!
But they were all killed by you in vain, and died a terrible death. That day, the mountains of Jing were littered with corpses, countless people were devoured by your venomous insects, leaving only piles of white bones behind. Li Yinhu, aren't you afraid of divine retribution!
Su Pingbei's roar, like thunder, made Li Yinhou's face even more unsightly.
He knew that the incident on Jingshan Mountain would be a stain that followed him for life.
But he didn't care.
He firmly believed that history was written by the victors, and that as long as he ultimately won, any blemishes would become his virtues.
It seems you're being stubborn and intent on resisting to the very end.
As Li Yinhu's words fell, the five hundred archers behind him immediately bent their bows and nocked arrows.
And the soldiers on the city wall, seeing this, immediately climbed up with their archers.
You two are at the foot of the wall, I am on top, and we both shoot arrows at each other. The situation is tense.
In the rustling wind, faint shouts and cries of battle could be heard from afar. Thousands of people crowded both inside and outside Shenwu Gate, but all were silent, holding their breath, none daring to make a move first.
Once the fighting begins, it will be a slaughter of thousands, and if the war spreads, the situation in Beijing will completely spiral out of control.
"Li Yinhu, do you know what you're doing"
Su Ping's eyes were cold and calm. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, saying icily: "You are rebelling! The Li imperial family has ruled over the Qin state for over three hundred and sixty years. This ancient city of a thousand years has not seen war for over three hundred and sixty years, but you, Li Yinhǔ, have rebelled against your own Li imperial family! You are a traitor!"
"I don't! I'm not! You're kidding!"
Li Yinhu seemed to have been stimulated by something. He roared, "I'm just setting things right, I just want to clear the court for my father, I haven't rebelled! I'm not a traitor! Li Chen, Li Chen of the Eastern Palace, is the real culprit!"
Just as Li Yinhu, furious and about to order an attack, a figure dashed in.
" Eighth Prince, please wait, the Grand Elder has an order."
That man came to Li Yinhu's side and quickly said, "The Grand Advisor has already ordered people to open the other two city gates. Please don't entangle the Eighth Prince at Shenwu Gate, immediately enter the inner city and attack the Taimiao."
Li Yinhu said with a sullen face, "He sent me to Shenwu Gate, and he made me leave again. Now that the troops are assembled, we're going to withdraw"
That man bowed slightly. Though his posture seemed respectful, his tone was unwavering as he said, "Grand Councillor, there is trouble in the city. Su Jinpa is about to arrive at the Temple of Heaven. The troops we sent to pursue him have been completely wiped out. Therefore, Your Highness should prioritize the greater good."
"Trash!"
Li Yinhu roared with anger.
But Zhao Xuanji's words, he dared not disobey.
Gazing up at Su Pingbei with icy eyes, Li Yinhu said, “Su Pingbei, I’ll take your head later.”
Having finished speaking, Li Yinhu immediately ordered his troops. The two thousand men behind him split into two groups and bypassed Shenwu Gate, entering the inner city through the other two gates.
This scene fell into Su Pingbei's eyes, his face was full of solemnity.
News arrived that the other two city gates had been breached.
A seriousness settled deeper on his face.
Su Pingbei didn't expect the other two city gates to fall so quickly.
Suddenly, Su Pingbei realized that there were probably still people planted by Zhao Xuanji among the city defenders.
"General, what do we do"
Facing his subordinates' inquiries, Su Pingbei gritted his teeth and said: "Leave half the men to continue guarding Shenwu Gate; not even a fly can get past. The rest, follow this general to aid Taimiao!""We will certainly die for the prince!"Others, carrying silver and in high spirits, joined in the chanting."I shall wait, and die for the King!""Great!"Li Yinhu let out a light exclamation and looked...
