In fact, Cui Xiang passed away a few days ago. This old man who had been fighting in the court for most of his life and rarely lost was no match for time after all.
Even in the Prime Minister's Mansion, only a few people know about this matter. The Prime Minister's Mansion is very powerful and has many aristocratic families attached to it. But Cui Xiang can suppress these aristocratic families, but Cui Yunjian may not be able to suppress them. He has been very busy these days.
It is to gather strength to ensure the continuation of the Prime Minister's power.
Unexpectedly, at this time of year, the majestic emperor of the empire planned to become an outlaw. A sharp knife struck the prime minister when he was weak.
Seeing the coffin, Li Letian understood instantly. He was stunned, as if he felt regretful that he could not kill the old man with his own hands, and also seemed to be sighing for the old man's silent departure. Li Letian couldn't help it either.
If you don’t admit it, this old man has made great contributions to the empire.
This thought passed away in a flash. Today's chaos is not over yet, and it is not the time to express emotion. The shouts of killing are loud outside, and the city defense troops are coming here. This is a game where you eat me, and I eat you.
Dead end. The situation is currently favorable to Li Letian, but it cannot prove that he is the winner.
"Smash the coffin and chop off the old thief's head."
Seven or eight weapons were smashed on the coffin, and with a click, the coffin shattered, and the body of an old man wearing a shroud emerged inside.
Under the illumination of the fire, his face turned pale. When everyone saw this scene, they all subconsciously took a step back.
This old man has been in charge of the imperial government for many years. Although he has no power, he can stir up a storm with a wave of his hand and decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people.
Facing this dead old man, everyone was timid and did not dare to step forward, as if they were worried that he would suddenly come back to life.
Li Letian was also surrounded by a terrifying atmosphere, but others could be afraid, but he could not be afraid. Taking a knife from the samurai beside him, he walked over, grabbed the old man's hair with one hand, and pressed the knife on his neck.
, with a click, the whole head was chopped off.
The sword of the Fish Dragon Guard was carefully smelted by the Imperial Craftsman's Workshop. At this moment, Li Letian realized that this kind of sword... is so fast.
He walked out of the room with his withered head in his hands, and saw flames rising into the sky and the sound of killings everywhere.
"Your Majesty, the city defense troops are coming." Some of his subordinates came running over.
"Well come."
Li Letian had a livid face. He wanted to see if anyone from the city defense army dared to attack him today, and he wanted to rebel by killing the king.
The two sides collided at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Looking out through the gate, they saw a dense darkness and numerous spears, blocking the doorway at this moment, bringing a murderous aura.
At the entrance of the gate, Li Letian stepped out, but his men quickly stopped him. Li Letian shouted and got away, standing in the middle of the gate.
"I am the emperor of the empire, in charge of one hundred and eight cities in the thirteen states of the empire, and that rebellious traitor dares to rebel."
He held a sword in one hand and a human head in the other. His body was soaked in blood, and he stood in front of everyone, showing no anger or authority.
The city defense officers and soldiers were timid and did not dare to approach. Many of them were descendants of aristocratic families, and the generals and generals were placed among them by aristocratic families. But when it came to the word rebellion, they did not have the courage.
Li Letian raised Prime Minister Cui's head and said loudly: "The leader of the thieves has been put to death. This person conspired to rebel and committed a heinous crime. Today, I will only kill the leader of the culprits. I don't care about anything else. Put down your weapons and I will count you innocent."
A clamor rang out among the city defense troops. They had been controlled by Prime Minister Cui for many years and had long considered him to be superior. But now that the superior old man had been killed, it was necessary for these lowly people like themselves to work hard.
The leader of the city defense army is named Cui Yunsheng, who is the sixth son of Prime Minister Cui and the brother of Cui Yunjian.
With such an important position, Cui Xiang naturally wanted to hand it over to his own people. When he saw his father's head, he screamed loudly and roared: "You dare to kill my father, you must accept your fate."
Li Letian looked up to the sky and laughed: "I am the emperor, and whoever I want to die must die, let alone a traitor who conspired to rebel. Do you really think that the world's surname is Cui?"
Bai Lisheng and others guarded Li Letian and guarded against hidden arrows for Li Letian. The emperor could act crazy, but we couldn't let anything happen to him. Once he made a mistake, today's chaos would be doomed to failure.
Cui Yunsheng gritted his teeth and thought rapidly in his mind. Li Letian suddenly took action today, and he did not expect it at all. If he had been on guard, things would not have ended up like this.
The situation is now like this. Others can be a facilitator, but I am unable to sway. I must fight to the death and fight to the death.
Damn it, today is today, kill this Li Letian in front of you, and you will be the emperor of the empire tomorrow.
The emperor takes turns, if you come to my house tomorrow, your surname is Li, why can't my surname Cui?
"Come here!" Cui Yunsheng suddenly shouted: "Li Letian killed innocent people indiscriminately and massacred heroes. He is no longer worthy of being the emperor. Kill him with me today, and tomorrow you will be a minister of Conglong."
Some people are timid and dare not approach, but there is a burning light in the eyes of others. I have always sought wealth and wealth from danger, and lived a hard-working life. When will it end? Reshuffle the cards, and maybe you can also fight for wealth.
"What, do you really dare to rebel?" Li Letian was not at ease. If the city defense army swarmed forward, he would never be able to stop it.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. Cui Yunsheng must be killed, otherwise things will go badly.
Although Ma Chao was a little fierce, he was not a fool. At this moment, he let out a strange scream and rushed forward.
"I'm going to take his life."
He held the big spear upside down, stepped forward, and thrust the spear from bottom to top.
"court death."
Cui Yunsheng shouted coldly and used the big knife in his hand to push him away. The two sides fought together, and for a moment it was difficult to tell the difference.
The Cui family also has experts, but relying on Prime Minister Cui's status, he rose to prominence as soon as he entered the officialdom. Therefore, even if he has some skills, sometimes he cannot show them off.
This Cui Yunsheng can actually fight with Ma Chao for twenty or thirty moves without falling behind, which is really impressive.
Li Letian frowned, this battle must be fast. Once time prolongs, the city defense army's ambition will grow. If Ma Chao loses again, things will really go wrong.
"Who can help General Ma?"
With Li Letian's words, Ma Chao will at least hold the position of a general after the event is completed. Lu Junyi rolled his eyes and knew in his heart that he would make great achievements today.
"Thieves, stop being crazy, I'm here to kill you."
He jumped out with a big gun and stabbed Cui Yunsheng on the horse.
"Hey, I don't need you!"
Ma Chao shouted loudly and moved his hands faster. Everyone knew that killing Cui Yunsheng was the first achievement. Everyone was trying to grab the credit and showed their special skills.
Facing a Ma Mengqi, Cui Yunsheng was already in a panic. What's more, two peerless masters wanted to kill him at the same time.
The two of them almost simultaneously took out their special skills and hit Cui Yunsheng with two guns almost at the same time.
