Datang: Just been appointed as the crown prince, the counterattack system is here

Chapter 43: Xuanwu Gate Incident, Reopened! [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

At the same time that Li Shimin was shocking the kings in Taiji Hall.

Qin Qiong was leading his men to the north gate to replace Liu Deyu, the Right Guard General.

At this time, Liu Deyu, who had already made sufficient preparations, was smiling and greeted him: "I wonder why General Qin has brought his troops here?"

"Nothing."

Qin Qiong said this expressionlessly, and then added directly: "You don't need to be on duty today!"

"Oh?"

Liu Deyu raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile, "Why is that?"

"No reason, this is His Majesty's arrangement!"

"Do you have a decree from His Majesty?"

"This is His Majesty's order. If you have any questions, please ask His Majesty!"

Qin Qiong said this impatiently, and then called his men to replace Liu Deyu.

But Liu Deyu's face darkened instantly, and he said coldly: "General Qin, isn't this a bit against the rules?"

"What's the rule? This is His Majesty's order!"

Qin Qiong narrowed his eyes, murderous intent filled his eyes.

In fact, before coming, he had received a secret report from Du Ruhui that Liu Deyu had been in contact with Yi'an King Li Xiaochang.

In other words, now that Li Xiaochang has raised an army to rebel, Liu Deyu is most likely involved.

But Liu Deyu remained noncommittal and said, "The North Gate is a vital location in the imperial city. Without your Majesty's handwritten edict or token, I cannot obey General Qin's so-called orders from your Majesty!"

"Be bold!"

Qin Qiong was furious and was about to take action.

Suddenly, a large number of soldiers rushed to the palace gate and surrounded him and his men.

"Liu Deyu!"

Qin Qiong saw this and immediately shouted, "How dare you rebel!?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say anything nonsense. I was just doing my duty. It was General Qin who falsely conveyed the order from Your Majesty!" Liu Deyu said quickly, waving his hands.

Qin Qiong sneered, "You say I'm falsely conveying His Majesty's orders? Then do you dare to go with me to meet His Majesty?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Liu Deyu smiled faintly, then changed the subject: "However, I have to wait until I'm out of office before I can say anything! Otherwise, General Qin will accuse me of desertion, and I won't be able to defend myself!"

"Hahaha!"

Qin Qiong was so angry that he laughed: "Okay, okay! You are determined to collude with Li Xiaochang, right? Then today, let's show our true strength!"

As he spoke, he immediately ordered his men: "Brothers, the Right Guard General has colluded with Yi'an Prince Li Xiaochang to rebel. Come with me to capture him!"

"Shhhhh!"

As soon as Qin Qiong finished speaking, countless arrows shot from above the city gate, directly knocking Qin Qiong's men who were reckless off their horses.

"General Qin! I'm going to give you a favor and call you General Qin, but you keep slandering me! Do you really think I don't have a temper?"

As he spoke, Liu Deyu waved his hand.

Boom!

A deafening bang suddenly exploded at the city gate.

The warhorse Qin Qiong was riding was so frightened that it hissed and screamed, and some of the other soldiers under his command were so frightened that they fell off their horses.

Even Liu Deyu's own soldiers were so scared that their legs felt sore.

What's going on?
Why did it thunder suddenly?

Is it the gods who are punishing me?
Before Qin Qiong and the others could react, Liu Deyu immediately drew his sword and shouted, "Everyone, listen! Qin Qiong has colluded with the rebels and is plotting evil, incurring the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. We must not let them succeed! Capture them!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Qiong, who was originally in shock, came to his senses in an instant and quickly organized his subordinates to resist.

But the subordinates behind him seemed to be frightened by the explosion just now, and their fighting ability was greatly reduced. He was so angry that he ignored his subordinates and fought his way out of the siege alone.

Seeing this, Liu Deyu decisively ordered: "Stop him!"

at the same time.

The same situation occurred at Xuanwu Gate. "General Chang, I've made it very clear just now. Xuanwu Gate is a vital gateway to the Imperial City. Unless Your Majesty is here in person, I will not take your turn!"

Yuan Hongshan said with a half-smile, "Besides, it's really inappropriate for you, a general, to be on duty at Xuanwu Gate, don't you think?"

"Humph!"

Chang He snorted coldly and said solemnly, "Have you forgotten? I was once a guard from Xuanwu Sect!"

"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that you were once a trusted subordinate of the former crown prince!"

Yuan Hongshan nodded in astonishment, then jokingly said, "What? His Majesty has forgotten your service to the emperor and sent you to guard the city gate again?"

Hearing this, Chang He's face instantly became extremely embarrassed.

He had fought alongside Li Shimin and had also been on an expedition with the former crown prince Li Jiancheng, but in the seventh year of Wude, he was secretly recruited by Li Shimin into his own camp and placed in the important position of Xuanwu Gate.

But Li Jiancheng knew nothing about this.

It can be said that a great deal of credit for Li Shimin's success in launching the Xuanwu Gate Incident came from Chang He.

After all, if it weren't for Chang He, Li Shimin's hundreds of men would not have been able to ambush at Xuanwu Gate in advance.

Therefore, Yuan Hongshan's words are quite destructive.

Although Chang He was not banished back to Xuanwu Gate by Li Shimin, the soldiers around him were full of contempt for him.

"Bastard thing!"

Before Chang He could speak, the deputy general beside him immediately stood up and scolded Yuan Hongshan: "How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the general?!"

"Noisy!"

Yuan Hongshan's face darkened.

Swish!
A crossbow arrow whizzed straight towards the deputy general.

"careful!"

Chang He's expression changed instantly. In a flash, he drew his sword to block the crossbow arrow and shouted at Yuan Hongshan, "Yuan Hongshan! What are you doing?!"

"What?"

Yuan Hongshan sneered and without further ado, ordered, "Kill him!"

Wow!
A group of soldiers hiding in the dark rushed forward and attacked Chang He's troops directly.

Suddenly, the entire Xuanwu Gate was in chaos.

Li Chengqian and Cen Wenben, who had just passed by Xuanwu Gate in a carriage, were stunned and at a loss.

"Your Highness, this."

"Uh, small scene, small scene, let's change the door!"

As he said that, Li Chengqian decisively ordered Lai Fu to turn his horse around and rush towards the Fanglin Gate nearby.

"But this seems like a rebellion!"

Although the carriage left Xuanwu Gate smoothly, Cen Wenben still asked Li Chengqian with lingering fear: "Are we really not going to care?"

"How can we manage it? We have no soldiers and no power. How can we manage it?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Even if you have no soldiers or power, you should report to His Majesty in time! What if..."

As he spoke, Cen Wenben suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Li Chengqian in astonishment: "Could this matter be related to His Highness?"

"Nonsense! Hasn't the prince always been with you? Have you forgotten?"

"what?"

Cen Wenben was completely stunned.

What the hell is this? Am I on a pirate ship?!
"Boom!"

Suddenly there was an explosion behind him.

Then, the shouting and screaming stopped abruptly.

Cen Wenben only felt his scalp tingling.

So this is what it means to return to the palace and become the crown prince!

The Xuanwu Gate Incident has been reopened!
