Are there any Japanese envoys among them?
Han Bei asked Li Chengqian, who was sitting on his Xuanwu palm.
"Yes, I have."
Li Chengqian nodded, then pointed to the area Han Bei had been looking at earlier, "Those are the short guys. Why are you asking about them?"
"It's nothing, I just want your father to do me a small favor later."
A slight smile appeared on Han Bei's lips.
If that's the case, then things are easier to discuss.
Although Li Chengqian was young, he was incredibly intelligent.
Ancient books record that he was intelligent from a young age; otherwise, he would not have been made crown prince at the age of eight.
Now, after hearing Han Bei's somewhat strange tone, she asked curiously.
"Do you have a grudge against them?"
"hatred?"
Han Bei sneered, "Of course there are, and they're deep-seated hatreds, the kind that no one can forget."
Li Chengqian frowned, his mind racing.
Finally, as if he had thought of something, he didn't say anything.
At this moment, Li Shimin had already walked onto the altar and begun the sacrificial ceremony.
"Your subject, Shimin, having received the mandate of Heaven and obeyed the will of the people, has ascended to the throne. I respectfully offer this sacrifice to Heaven and Earth, to faithfully fulfill Heaven's mandate and bring peace to the four seas."
Li Shimin's calm and powerful voice reached the ears of everyone present through the altar.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
The ministers below spoke in unison.
"I have inherited this great legacy, and I shall uphold the throne with benevolence, govern diligently and care for the people, respectfully safeguard the ancestral legacy, and work with all my ministers to govern the world and achieve lasting peace and prosperity."
Li Shimin calmly scanned everyone below and spoke in a clear voice.
"I, being of humble means, have inherited this great legacy. I am blessed by Heaven and in accordance with the will of the people. Therefore, I hereby grant a general amnesty and change the ninth year of the Wude era to the first year of the Zhenguan era. Widows, widowers, orphans, and the lonely shall all be given relief and assistance; all civil and military officials, both inside and outside the court, shall be promoted and rewarded. I will strive to bring peace and prosperity to the people."
These words had barely left his lips.
A loud bang rang out.
Immediately, an arrow shot towards Li Shimin.
But Li Shimin managed to evade it.
"So they really did come?"
Li Shimin's gaze narrowed slightly.
He knew that Li Jiancheng would not let the matter rest so easily.
"My dear brother, I shouldn't have missed such a joyous occasion, should I?"
Li Jiancheng's voice came from not far away.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Li Jiancheng was the leader, with Li Yuanji beside him, and the two were riding horses leisurely toward them.
Behind him.
Many exotic races from the mountains and seas followed along.
Leading the pack were none other than the Taotie, Bifang, and Xiangliu, those strange beasts that were known as great demons in ancient times.
Their numbers are numerous.
jaw-dropping.
"These... those two, could they be Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji?"
"Be careful what you say. Both of them are now crippled; you must not speak such nonsense."
"Today is probably not going to be peaceful."
The ministers and foreign envoys below the stage began to whisper among themselves.
Looking at this scene.
I could hardly believe it.
Cheng Yaojin and the others saw the mountain and sea monsters following behind Li Jiancheng.
He jumped up and shouted angrily.
"Li Jiancheng, do you know what crime you should be punished for allowing foreign tribes to enter the pass?!"
"What crime?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jiancheng laughed out loud as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Once I ascend the throne, who will remember these things? The dead cannot speak."
Where is Li Yi?
Li Shimin stood on the platform, his gaze calm.
They scanned the area but couldn't find any trace of Li Yi.
He is dead.
Li Jiancheng smiled calmly, "Li Yi was a smart man, but he did something stupid, so I killed him."
Li Shimin's gaze darkened.
If that's the case, then Li Yi died because he prevented Li Jiancheng from turning on the switch.
"You talk too much nonsense."
The giant serpent behind Li Jiancheng spoke impatiently, then exhaled black mist.
In an instant.
The entire area around the altar was shrouded in layers of black mist.
From the outside, it looks like a giant black sphere, enveloping everyone inside.
"Where are the Xuanjia Army?!"
Li Shimin shouted fiercely, his eyes blazing.
Instantly.
The ground trembled as the Xuanjia Army, which had been lying in ambush, broke through the fog and arrived before Li Shimin.
Beneath his crotch were strange beasts.
He was covered in black armor, which was now gleaming with a cold light.
"kill!"
Li Shimin uttered a single word.
In an instant, thousands of armored warriors, riding strange beasts, charged forward.
"Xiang Liu, having had one head chopped off by the First Emperor, still dares to enter the Central Plains! Today, I, Cheng Yaojin, will chop off another head!"
Cheng Yaojin roared, his whole body tensed, and then he shot out like a cannonball.
The soil on the ground was immediately cracked by the force of the trampling.
"You've come at the perfect time."
The cold and sinister Cheng Yaojin moved his enormous body and eight-headed form, and engaged Cheng Yaojin in battle.
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and the others also rushed forward.
In a short time.
Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army and Li Jiancheng's army of demonic beasts were intertwined.
The scene was chaotic.
The sounds of fighting were incessant, and blood splattered everywhere.
"They're already getting started?"
Han Bei was stunned by what he saw. He thought they were going to say something more, but instead they started fighting right away.
This surprised him somewhat.
Just then.
Li Yuanji also saw Li Chengqian sitting on Xuanwu's hand, his gaze cold and cunning.
He said something to the monster behind him.
Dozens of demonic beasts appeared, eyeing Han Bei and his companions menacingly.
"You wouldn't abandon me, would you?"
Looking at those demonic beasts, Li Chengqian swallowed hard and turned to Han Bei, forcing a smile.
"Hand it over, and I'll spare your life."
The leading demon beast was now speaking in human language, its gaze fixed fiercely on Xuanwu.
It actually sensed a dangerous aura emanating from these things.
"Damn it, so arrogant?"
Upon seeing this, Han Bei was so angry that he laughed.
What kind of jerk is this, acting so arrogantly?
Although he was not from this era, one thing is undeniable: when foreign tribes invaded the Central Plains.
These are all scenes of people suffering from poverty and starvation.
These monsters were the culprits.
"Find a place to hide."
Han Bei put Li Chengqian down, then drew his longsword, intending to have a good fight with him.
"Be careful, those monsters are very strong."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
"Stubborn and obstinate."
The leading demonic beast roared and charged towards Han Bei.
"You've come at the perfect time."
Han Bei's gaze turned cold, and he charged forward, brandishing his Mo Dao.
Available in the next second.
The monster was breathing fire.
The intense heat of the flames immediately enveloped Han Bei.
Han Bei was startled as he watched the system display on the panel indicating that the temperature was rising continuously.
"A clown jumping around like a tree trunk."
The demonic beast scoffed and tried to leave.
A gust of cold wind swept by, and his muscles tensed instantly, causing him to abruptly step back to the side.
next moment.
Han Bei's longsword struck the ground solidly.
If the opponent hadn't retreated quickly, this strike would have definitely landed squarely on them.
"How is that possible!"
The monster stared in shock at the intact Xuanwu mech.
