Cannon fodder is a full-level boss
Chapter 156 The Fifth Retirement World [28]
There was a faint hint of excitement on Zeng Xun's face, and the light in his eyes became more and more intense in the dark night!
Behind him are his princess and two children, and in front of him are his confidants.
He clenched his fists.
For many years, day after day, he could hardly sleep at night, the hatred and unwillingness in his heart spreading like weeds.
Overnight, the Li family lived high in the temple, but he, who was born rich, could only hide in humiliation, like a rat in the ditch, not daring to see the light of day.
The night was very cold, but Zeng Xun felt that his blood was extremely hot at this moment!
His palms even became sweaty.
His mind was spinning rapidly.
Today's action is his only hope to reverse the situation for many years. If successful, he can gain everything he has lost. And if it fails, no, he will not fail!
After all - in this battle he was leading, he was not the only one standing behind him.
Oh!
People from the Li family...
Zeng Xun secretly taunted in his heart, fearing that even until their death, they would not know how many people their existence had attracted.
Zeng Xun summoned one of his confidants and asked him to release the signal immediately!
In the night sky, sky lanterns rise with the wind, and their direction is the Shengjing Palace.
The lights are bright, adding a bit of magnificent color to the bloody battlefield that follows, confusing the human eye.
But only he knows that the candle inside is not a harmless candle. When the time is up and the candle burns to the designated position, the lampshade will fall from the sky, and the poisonous powder inside will instantly blow away in every corner of the palace.
So ordinary, even if the Li family reacted, they had already lost the opportunity.
And the people on their side have long been taking the antidote.
Zeng Xun couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of the people of the Li family lying on the ground, desperate for life and desperate for death.
The first light has gone down.
Presumably, the secret chess set up by Beicang Qi had successfully eliminated the defensive soldiers at the first door.
"Everyone! Let's go with this prince to kill those who seek to usurp the throne of the Li family!"
"Whoever can kill the Li family will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold for each of their heads!"
With a loud cry like a wild wolf, the imperial city of Shengjing was once again in chaos!
In the imperial city, the army belonging to Zeng Xun quickly met up with the people from Beicang Qi, and the next actions were like divine help, overwhelming.
The palace gates one after another are like piles of dirt and can be broken down with one attack!
On the road in the palace, blood rolled down from the steps and washed all the way.
But in the eyes of the Avengers, the deaths of those traitors will only make them more excited!
…
Looking from a distance, the east side of Shengjing is as bright as day.
It was very lively.
"Lord, we have eliminated the large number of Beicang people who stayed outside the Holy Capital, and not a single one was left alive." The speaker was a young man. If you listen carefully, it was a female voice, but what she said was Not soft at all.
On the war horse, a man in black armor and a mask looked at Shengjing in front of him with stern eyes.
"very good!"
"I will leave some people here, and the rest will follow me into the city. If anyone tries to forcefully leave the city, no matter who it is, they will be killed!"
The last few words were a wake-up call for everyone.
"yes!"
——Today is the first lesson, you only need to know one sentence.
——As an emperor, he has no intention of being merciful and soft-hearted. If he doesn’t kill, he will be done with it. If he kills, he will definitely eradicate the root!
——Killing them all at once is the greatest mercy of the superior.
——If you can't do it, you will be the one who dies one day.
——Now, tell me, can you do it?
——I can!
…
Li Junlu was feeling very happy these days. The people he sent to his father told him that his father only had a few days left to live.
Under his control, his younger brothers have made some mistakes in the past few years. They have been removed from their father's reputation. According to the rumors revealed by the eunuchs, his father was ill a few days ago. While he was in bed, he summoned several close ministers from the court to discuss the matter of passing on the throne.
The eunuch accompanying him said that he vaguely heard the prince's name several times.
From the looks of it, I'm afraid there will be good news on his side in the next few days.
When he was in a good mood and interested in doing anything, Li Junlu summoned a beauty sent by a subordinate official that night.
Li Junlu slept well in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, Li Junlu was awakened by the sound of swords and halberds outside.
"Where are you! What happened?" Li Junlu put on his clothes and quickly got up from the bed. The beauty beside him opened her hazy eyes, not knowing what happened.
"Your Highness?"
The door was opened from the outside, but someone fell in.
He is Li Junlu's bodyguard.
The guard looked very embarrassed, with some wounds on his face and body.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! The Imperial City...the Imperial City has been destroyed!"
"Who did this!" Li Junlu gritted his teeth.
"They are remnants of the previous dynasty!"
"As expected, it's them, they're really haunted."
"Quickly, call the Crown Princess over and ask her to go to Father's side with me, and mobilize all my troops..." The rest of Li Junlu's words were stuck in his throat.
He looked at his trusted subordinate in disbelief, "You betrayed me!" The blade next to his neck was cold to the bone. As long as his master moved, Li Junlu would be dead in an instant.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I only follow my master's orders." The guard raised his head, his face was ordinary, but it made people feel chilled.
The guard raised his hand and said, "Now, Your Highness, please follow me to the main hall."
"The master is waiting over there."
Being held hostage, Li Junlu could only choose to obey. During this silence, he suddenly realized that not only the rebellious guard, but also everyone around him seemed to be wrong.
Even the beauty he had just favored changed her appearance. She was no longer as soft and soft as a willow. Instead, she picked up the sword and followed them.
There is no doubt that today's game must be a game that the people behind it have planned for a long time.
And he had been completely penetrated by the enemy without even realizing it and was stupid and unaware of it.
His confidant bodyguards, a beauty he favored at random, and even ministers who provided beauties... they were all so densely packed, it was like a net covering him.
Remnants of the previous dynasty?
Was it Zeng Xun who did it?
But when is this? You must know that some of these people were following him before the Li family came to power.
Or maybe there was something he overlooked.
Just when Li Junlu was deep in thought, he saw Zeng Xun in the main hall.
At this time he had just beheaded his father.
Standing high above him, Li Junlu suddenly remembered that the young man was also standing there ten years ago, but he looked weak and easy to deceive.
Maybe it was a disguise then.
Li Junlu thought.
"We haven't seen each other for ten years. Brother Li is still as charming as ever. I heard that you woke up in the arms of a beauty just now. It seems that we disturbed Brother Li's enjoyment."
Li Junlu didn't say a word.
It is not difficult to be a king or a bandit once he accepts it. There is no need for him to make a gesture of begging for mercy to make Zeng Xun proud.
But it was different in Zeng Xun's eyes.
Li Junlu looked disapproving, as if everything he did was like playing house, and he was not taken seriously by the person involved at all.
He felt that even if he killed Li Junlu now, it would be as if he was angry out of shame.
Why?
The expression of unwillingness to suffer on the face of the old immortal just now completely pleased him, and he thought that Li Junlu should be the same way.
Falling from a high position, no one can endure such a drastic and extreme change, not him, and neither can Li Junlu.
Suddenly, Zeng Xun seemed to have thought of something interesting, and his frown instantly relaxed.
He waved his hand, and the sword that had been placed on Li Junlu's neck was put down.
Li Junlu looked at Zeng Xun.
Sure enough, Zeng Xun spoke.
"I have disliked you before, but I am the prince, and the prince needs to appreciate capable people. What's more, you are a member of the Li family, so I have to win over you."
"But wolves are wolves after all. If they are not well-raised and fed well, then your Li family will turn against you."
"It's so pitiful that my Zeng family still kept me."
"My former princess died, and my former child also died. Do you know how painful I was at that time?"
"I don't think you know, and you don't want to know, right?"
Li Junlu didn’t even blink.
But in Zeng Xun's eyes, it made him hate it even more!
Yes, this person was like this in the past, as if he didn't care about anything and everything was easy.
It took him a long time to make friends with capable people, and Li Junlu could get to know each other deeply as long as they met him once. He was humble in front of the imperial sister, creating an image of friendliness, obedience, and innocence to outsiders, but as soon as Li Junlu appeared, , his good imperial sister leaned towards him as if she had lost her soul, and she no longer saw him as a brother in her eyes.
besides……
But so what, Li Junyul can't be perfect, just like he can't always be successful.
Otherwise, how could we be here today!
"Are you curious who betrayed you?"
Zeng Xun smiled, "You don't think it's me, do you?"
"Then you really think highly of me."
Just when Zeng Xun was about to say something else, two more people walked away from the hall.
Beicang Qi.
And - Zeng Ruoqing.
"Of course she is your most trusted princess."
"Aren't the people who know you best often the people next to you? Isn't that unbelievable?" Zeng Xun said harshly.
To be honest, when he first heard from Beicang Qi that their collaborator in the palace was Zeng Ruoqing, Zeng Xun's first reaction was disbelief.
After all, Zeng Ruoqing was already the princess at that time, and if nothing else happened, she would still be the future queen.
Who would throw away this great opportunity?
But this is indeed the case. Later, Zeng Ruoqing dealt with the old emperor mercilessly, and even inserted their people into Li Junlu's East Palace so that they could infiltrate smoothly. Everyone could see Zeng Ruoqing's determination to bring down the Li family.
The explanation Zeng Ruoqing gave was that she didn't love Li Junlu.
love?
Zeng Xun felt that the other party was telling a joke, just for this kind of thing?
But it seems that the answer is really this reason. He doesn't want to know who Zeng Ruoqing changed his position because of, he just wants to know that all this is beneficial to him.
Just like now, he can use it as a knife to penetrate deeply into the heart of his enemy.
What a joy!
Even though he had guessed a little, Li Junlu was still a little unbelievable when he saw the facts.
He thought of something.
"I thought just like you said, you wouldn't care." Li Junlu said.
"No woman would not care that her husband has a woman other than her. In fact, I can't either." Without much argument, the two people were very calm as if they were having a normal conversation, which was somewhat out of place with the scene at this time.
"If you said it, I would definitely reject them."
"Don't deceive yourself, you won't." Zeng Ruoqing was a little surprised. It turned out that she had been married to this man for more than ten years without realizing it.
No quarrels, no scolding.
Zeng Xun felt as if he was deceived.
He didn't want to dawdle any more. "Are you done? If you're done, let them do it."
Women's feelings are the most ethereal things. They may love to death in the last moment, and hate to death in the next moment. Zeng Xun's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent.
Just as Zeng Ruoqing turned around and Bei Cangqi gave an order.
Outside the hall, an arrow broke through the air and flew at a high speed!
Before anyone could react, Li Yulu died just like that!
He opened his eyes, his face still had the same sadness as before, but his temple was pierced by an arrow!
Outside the hall, another group of people had arrived at some point!
…
Zeng Ruoqing almost couldn't breathe.
It took a long time for her to regain her consciousness.
Her first reaction was that the people outside the hall were Bei Cangqi's people, but she remembered that before receiving the order, the group of people stayed outside Shengjing City as a support.
So it was Zeng Xun's people?
He kept a backup? This is not impossible.
She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
No, from her understanding, Zeng Xun was ambitious and wanted to restore his country. This was his only chance. Only by bringing everyone into the palace could he succeed.
After all, after the death of the Li family, their alliance was instantly broken.
Regardless of the dead Li Yunlu, Zeng Ruoqing desperately thought about whether she had missed something.
Bei Cangqi on the side saw Zeng Ruoqing's thoughtful eyes and immediately held her hand to reassure her.
"Who is it? Who killed Li Yunlu?"
"Don't hide, come out to me!"
The sudden arrow startled Zeng Xun, and he quickly hid behind the guards to avoid following Li Yunlu's footsteps.
But the man didn't want to show up.
"Swish".
The second arrow came!
Compared to the first arrow, this arrow was obviously faster!
This speed, this force...
Either this is an archery master, or the other party has a more advanced weapon than they have seen before.
"Who is it?"
"Who is it?" Zeng Xun saw that the situation was good, but now it was reversed and went downhill, and he was angry!
But he still couldn't wait for a response.
If the arrow just now was just the other party's game, then now, the battlefield has kicked off.
The people who reacted had already closed the door of the hall.
But it was completely useless.
A mere wooden board couldn't stop the momentum of these arrows.
Zeng Ruoqing and Bei Cangqi, who had wanted to wait and see, had left the hall long ago when they saw the situation was not good, and disappeared without a trace.
In the hall of the palace, there were only corpses on the ground, and Zeng Xun and others.
"My Lord, Zeng Ruoqing and the others went to the secret passage, and our people are already guarding the exit of the secret passage."
"If they want to leave, let them go. Now is not the time for Bei Cang, and there is no need to give them a reason to attack."
"Yes! The people inside?"
Zeng Shu looked far away.
Yan Ling's voice was in her ears, as if he was speaking in her ears again.
—— Mr. will teach you the last lesson today.
—— There is a saying that the villain died of... Bah, bah, bah, it should be that if you really want to kill someone, kill him quickly, don't hesitate, don't say harsh words, and don't recall the past. Speed is the essence of war, kill early and feel at ease! Otherwise, the situation will change rapidly.
"Don't let any of them go. Call me in after they are all confirmed dead."
"Yes, sir!"
Zeng Shu looked up to the east, where there was a faint light.
The sun would soon rise.
Just like more than ten years ago.
But this time she finally didn't need to hide. In fact, she had nowhere to hide.
When Zeng Xun's body was brought over, Zeng Shu's face was expressionless.
"Bury my brother and his family together."
"Bury him next to the tombstone of my father and mother."
Killing her loved ones and then doing such a hypocritical act, I'm sure anyone in the future would call her a hypocrite.
But why should she care?
...
The sky is finally bright!
