"Great, we still have loyal ministers in the Tang Dynasty!"
"I misjudged Little Friend Mu earlier. I didn't expect him to be so loyal!"
When the ministers saw the reinforcements arriving, they were all extremely excited.
After all, judging from the current situation, if no reinforcements arrive, then Li Shimin will definitely give up the throne.
You know, they also helped Li Shimin do this job before.
Speaking of which, Li Chengqian's actions were not as extraordinary as Li Shimin's, at least he did not kill his own brother.
"Brother Mu, you are so smart, are you going to be stupid now?"
Li Chengqian glanced at Muchuan and showed a friendly smile.
"The situation is quite clear. Although I don't know where your thousands of troops came from, the entire hunting ground has been controlled by my people."
Li Chengqian said quite confidently: "Don't think there are only a thousand people here, but a large amount of support will arrive soon."
After saying this, everyone's hearts became cold.
Don't they know that the Royal Forest Army is much more elite than ordinary troops.
Besides, they still have an advantage in terms of numbers.
At this moment, everyone except Li Shimin has a pessimistic attitude.
Hearing this, Muchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that His Highness is well prepared."
"So, I can only wait for death?"
Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Brother Mu, the promise I made to you before is still valid."
"As long as you take refuge in me, when I ascend the throne, I will make you prime minister and rank you first among the three princes!"
This condition is undoubtedly quite tempting, and even Muchuan was a little tempted after hearing it.
You must know that you are not welcomed by Li Shimin. This old boy is probably thinking about how to suppress him all day long.
If the emperor were replaced by Li Chengqian, even though this appointee did not trust him, he would definitely find a way to strip him of his power and official position in the end.
But at least Li Chengqian can be said to be quite easy to fool compared to Li Shimin.
Thinking of this, Muchuan could not help but fall into silence.
Seeing that Muchuan stopped talking, Li Shimin and everyone else's expressions turned extremely ugly.
On the contrary, everyone on Li Chengqian's side was very proud.
Did you see? The reinforcements you had pinned your hopes on are about to defect now.
"Brother Mu, don't hesitate. What's the difference between your loyalty to me and your loyalty to my father?"
Li Chengqian chuckled and said: "Li Tang is still Li Tang, there is no such thing as a change of ownership."
After hearing this, Muchuan finally made a decision.
He did not think that Li Shimin would abdicate so easily. In history, Li Chengqian also rebelled and almost succeeded, but in the end he failed.
What does this mean? It means that Li Er definitely has a trump card.
If I were left here and fell to Li Chengqian, I'm afraid that when Queen Qiu asks for his guilt, I would be the first to die.
As a result, Muchuan said seriously: "Your Majesty, one minister does not serve two masters. The day Mu enters the court, my loyalty will always be given to His Majesty alone!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of both parties instantly changed, which was quite exciting.
Li Chengqian's face was extremely ugly, while Li Shimin's expression softened, and at the same time there was a hint of surprise.
Could it be that I really misjudged Muchuan?
"Brother Mu, do you really want to be so stubborn?"
Li Chengqian said with a cold face: "I will give you one last chance."
"No."
Muchuan drew his sword, and the army behind him also took out their weapons.
"If you want to fight, then fight!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole army shouted along with Muchuan.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
For a moment, Muchuan's momentum even completely overwhelmed Li Chengqian.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian also understood that it was impossible to persuade Muchuan to surrender.
It's a pity that Li Chengqian will not change his plan because of this incident.
"All officers and men obey the order and kill the traitor Muchuan and his party!"
Li Chengqian also drew his sword. For a moment, the two sides were really at odds with each other, tit for tat.
The war was about to break out, and Muchuan was a little anxious.
It's not that he was worried about his own safety. When he was in Wanjun Cong, he was still able to kill seven in and seven out, and he didn't take this small scene in front of him seriously.
What makes Muchuan a little anxious is that if Li Shimin doesn't take a back-up move, he will definitely be exposed when a fight breaks out.
With Li Shimin's level of caution, after seeing his true combat prowess, the trust he had just gained will probably be emptied soon.
"Everyone stop it!"
Just as the two armies were about to clash, a partial army suddenly charged in.
Everyone looked towards the leader of the partial army. At first glance, everyone present except Li Shimin was shocked.
The person who came was no one else, but Duke Qin Qiong of the State of Hu.
Qin Qiong was seen filled with murderous intent, holding a bloody head in his hand.
Snapped!
Qin Qiong threw the head at Li Chengqian's feet. Li Chengqian looked at the dead head, and his whole heart suddenly went cold.
The owner of this head was the deputy leader of the Royal Forest Army who he arranged to seal off the hunting grounds.
"The rebels have been killed by my commander, and the rest of the rebels have also surrendered."
Qin Qiong stared at Li Chengqian with a complex expression and said: "Your Highness, please throw away your weapons."
Li Chengqian still stood there stupidly, but the imperial guards around him threw away their weapons one after another and knelt on the ground.
Qin Qiong can be said to be one of the gods of war in the Tang Dynasty. This time, he personally led the troops to quell the chaos. These small soldiers did not dare to compete with him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Chengqian has been defeated, defeated miserably.
The biggest variable among them is Qin Qiong's entry.
It stands to reason that Qin Qiong was sent to quell the Turks, but why would he appear here again?
I'm afraid I have to ask Li Shimin about all this.
"Your Majesty, I am late to save you. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
Seeing that the situation was decided, Qin Qiong also dismounted and greeted Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded, patted Qin Qiong's shoulder, and said happily: "Qin Aiqing, thank you for your hard work."
With that said, Li Shimin walked towards Li Chengqian who was already under control.
At this moment, Li Chengqian didn't have any of the high-spirited look he had before. He seemed to be in a daze and kept muttering something in a low voice.
"This is impossible. This is impossible, this is impossible"
Li Shimin walked up to Li Chengqian and didn't say anything, just slapped him hard.
It can be seen that Li Shimin was really angry with this slap, and he slapped Li Chengqian upside down.
But this slap also woke up Li Chengqian.
He fell to the ground, covering his red and swollen face, looking extremely frightened.
He knew very well the character of his father, who would kill his own brothers even if he asked for it. He might not be around for long either.
"Sir, go back to the palace quickly. Your mother is not in good health. Go visit her quickly!"
Li Shimin cursed angrily, but the content of his words made Li Chengqian doubt his life.
