Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

"Stop it all!"

Ling Yuewei roared angrily, trying to stop the increasingly fierce melee.

But at this moment, people on both sides were overwhelmed by passion and murderous intent. They were so bloodthirsty that they seemed to be deaf to Ling Yuewei's shouts that were full of words to stop him.

The shouting didn't even stir a ripple in their frantic fighting minds.

The flashes of swords and the shadows of knives were still intertwined crazily, the shouts of killing became more and more deafening, and the smell of blood filled the air, making people sick.

Qizhou Chief Secretary Quan Wanji was stamping his feet anxiously and slapping his thighs with his hands. His face was covered with anxiety like a dark cloud. He shouted at Ling Yuewei, "General Ling, make them stop!"

"If this kind of uncontrolled fighting continues, it will inevitably lead to an unmanageable situation, and will have a devastating impact on the stability of Qizhou and the reputation of the imperial court!"

As the chief officer of Qizhou, Quan Wanji's duty is to maintain local peace, but now facing this out-of-control situation, he feels powerless.

We can only place our hopes on Ling Yuewei, the military general sent by the court.

Ling Yuewei's face was solemn, and his eyes quickly scanned the battle situation.

On the battlefield, both sides fought back and forth, neither side gave in. The number of injured and fallen people continued to increase, and the blood had dyed the streets crimson.

He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. If he allowed the situation to continue, the Jinyiwei would suffer.

He acted decisively, channeling his Qi into his Dantian, and shouted, "Brothers, the Jinyiwei are enforcing the law, and some lawbreakers are openly resisting arrest."

"Hit me!"

Following this order, the soldiers from the five military camps responded quickly.

He quickly drew his firearm from his waist or back.

In this period when the manufacturing industry had not yet reached a highly developed level, although firearms had been used in military operations by Li Chengqian, their technical stability and reliability still had many defects.

Many firearms produce duds when fired. The bullet that should have been ejected does not move after the trigger is pulled.

The firearms they were equipped with were obviously inferior in range, accuracy and power compared to the more sophisticated firearms used by the specialized Shenjiying.

However, the soldiers of the five military camps seemed to have been mentally prepared for this. After all, in the combat strategy they had formulated in advance, the main purpose of firearms was to add another round of attack means to their side at the beginning of the battle, and they did not rely entirely on them to determine the outcome of the battle.

After a round of firearms firing, the battlefield was filled with smoke and the pungent smell of gunpowder filled every corner.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers quickly put away their firearms and took out crossbows instead.

Their movements were skillful and their eyes were cold. They nocked the arrow, pulled the string, and took aim, all in one go.

Crossbow arrows kept shooting towards the King of Qi's personal guards.

This round of volleys instantly changed the situation on the field.

The personal guards of the King of Qi, who had originally had the upper hand due to their numerical advantage and fierce initial attack, were thrown into disarray by the sudden and intensive crossbow attack. They fell to the ground or dodged, and the situation on the field was suddenly reversed.

The Jinyiwei took advantage of the situation and attacked.

Ling Yuewei is a highly prestigious general in the Five Military Camps. This time, he was personally appointed by His Majesty to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining public security in Qizhou together with the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

In essence, the Jinyiwei and he were both law enforcement forces of the imperial court.

Their mission is to maintain the dignity of the imperial court and ensure local stability. They can be said to be a true "family".

They are still in the same team.

In this chaotic conflict, although they belonged to different organizational systems, their goal was the same, which was to kill the King of Qi.

After a round of crossbow arrows, fifty Kunlun slaves in light armor and fifty fierce Turkic soldiers surrounded them first.

These Kunlun slaves are tall and strong, with bulging muscles and immense strength.

The Turkic soldiers were good at horseback archery. Although they were now in an environment of fighting on foot, the fighting skills and fearless spirit they had cultivated on horseback since childhood had not diminished in the slightest.

There is a ferocity in their eyes, and they will never let go once they lock onto their prey.

They brandished their weapons, roared angrily, and rushed towards the King of Qi's guards with great momentum.

The soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp and the Divine Guards followed closely behind, forming a powerful fighting force.

At this point, the difference between wearing armor and not wearing armor quickly became apparent.

Soldiers wearing armor can charge into battle more boldly and suffer relatively less damage from enemy attacks.

And those unarmored personal guards of the King of Qi were defeated in just a moment.

In just a cup of tea, the whole situation was suppressed.

The Jinyiwei suffered heavy casualties in this fierce conflict, with more than half of them either lying in a pool of blood or seriously injured.

The once orderly team has now become scattered, and the ground is covered with their blood and body parts, it is a horrible sight.

There were only about eighty personal guards left of the King of Qi, and most of them were injured and their morale was low.

Among them, most of the King of Qi's personal guards were killed by the people brought by Ling Yuewei.

The gap between soldiers and guards was clearly revealed in this battle.

The soldiers led by Ling Yuewei demonstrated extremely high military standards, whether in the use of firearms, the volleys of crossbows, or the subsequent close combat.

Li You stood there with a sullen face, his eyes fixed on Ling Yuewei.

He held the bow and arrow in his hand, but a sneer formed on his lips as he said, "General Ling is really brave."

His voice was full of resentment. He originally thought that his personal guards could handle it easily, but he did not expect that Ling Yuewei's intervention would cause the situation to take a turn for the worse.

As a prince with a high status, he was often constrained in this small place of Qizhou.

This is clearly my fiefdom! I am the king here.

He attributed the source of all this to the court's supervision and officials like Quan Wanji.

Ling Yuewei replied with a forced smile, "I am only following His Majesty's orders to maintain public order."

"The entire Tang Dynasty is under the Emperor's feet. How can we allow anyone to act recklessly?"

His tone was firm and he was not afraid of Li You's threats at all.

He represents not only an individual, but also the authority and laws of the court. When facing the provocation of King Qi, he must not retreat in the slightest.

Quan Wanji walked forward slowly. As an official appointed by the court, he had the responsibility to mediate at this time and try to make Li You stop from going too far.

He looked at Li You with a complex expression in his eyes, showing both respect for the prince and dissatisfaction with his behavior. He said earnestly, "Your Highness, Prince Qi, please stop."

"As a prince, you should set an example for the world and avoid making serious mistakes due to impulsiveness."

"Every action you take concerns the reputation of the imperial court and the well-being of the people of the world."

When Li You heard Quan Wanji's words, the resentment in his heart became more and more uncontrollable.

He glared at Quan Wanji fiercely.

It was because of this old guy who impeached him to the court from time to time that he was restricted in his own fiefdom and could not do whatever he wanted.

Li You suppressed his anger, but forced a smile on his face and said to Quan Wanji, "Come, Quan Changshi, please come up. I have something to say to you."

Quan Wanji was slightly stunned and doubts arose in his heart.

He didn't understand why Li You wanted to see him at this critical moment, but out of duty and respect for Li You's identity, he still walked towards Li You.

"Your Highness, Prince Qi, is there anything you would like to tell me?"

he asked as he walked.

Li You smiled and said in a friendly manner, "Master Quan, please come closer. You can't hear me from such a distance."

When Quan Wanji heard what Li You said, he hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to move forward a little.

He approached Li You step by step until he was in front of Li You, then stopped.

"If you have anything to say, Your Highness, please just say it. I hope Your Highness can correct his mistakes and reflect on them when he returns to the palace."

"I will report your matter to His Majesty, and Your Majesty will make the final decision."

Quan Wanji straightened his back and spoke righteously.

Li You smiled after hearing Quan Wanji's words, but there was murderous intent hidden in that smile.

His hand stealthily moved to the quiver on his hip and he slowly pulled out an arrow.

His eyes were always fixed on Quan Wanji. He took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly exerted force, and the arrow in his hand pierced directly into Quan Wanji's chest.

"Old man, I asked you to make a report, I asked you to make a report."

"Go on and play!"

"I wonder if you can still make a memorial!"

Li You roared madly, and the arrow in his hand kept piercing Quan Wanji's chest, again and again, and each time carried his resentment towards Quan Wanji.

The blood soon soaked Quan Wanji's clothes on his chest.

"I let you play, I let you play."

Li You didn't know how many times he thrusted before Quan Wanji staggered and fell to the ground, dead.

This scene shocked everyone.

Everyone's eyes widened, their faces filled with shock, their mouths open, but they were speechless for a moment.

Everyone stood there in a daze, watching what was happening before their eyes.

No one expected that Li You would be so crazy that he killed the Chief Secretary of Qi in public on the street!

This behavior not only violated the court laws, but was also a blatant provocation to imperial power. The consequences were so serious that it was unimaginable.
