The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1096

If he succeeds this time, he will have no worries about the future.

So he had already decided that this time he absolutely had to succeed, and could not afford to fail.

Xu Tian saw through Charlie's thoughts.

He personally led Charlie into the palace. Inside the palace, Charlie took advantage of Li Zhi's greetings to other guests.

He immediately summoned his men and they went inside, where they planted gunpowder in the Imperial Garden.

They attempted to blow up the palace.

They wiped out everyone in the imperial city in one fell swoop.

Once everything is done, one believes that everything is foolproof.

"Xu Tian, ​​this time I want to see how you're going to escape."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Little did they know, Xu Tian had already noticed and secretly followed Charlie, tampering with the place where the gunpowder was buried.

Charlie watched as the last packet of gunpowder was buried, concluding that everything was perfectly in place and the time was right.

He swaggered straight into the imperial study.

Li Zhi and Xu Tian exchanged a glance.

Li Zhi asked bluntly, "Charlie, I've heard you all sell gunpowder?"

Charlie nodded.

"really!"

His tone of voice was completely different from before.

Xu Tian had already figured out his thoughts.

It seems he wants to blow up the entire palace.

They really are heartless.

"I've heard that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also wants to buy this batch of gunpowder?"

Charlie spoke frankly.

Li Zhi never had such thoughts.

However, since Charlie said so, he simply responded in kind.

How much money do you think we should give?

Li Zhi asked.

Charlie burst into loud laughter.

"What if I said I wanted your entire Tang Dynasty?"

Li Zhi chuckled softly upon hearing his tone.

He simply stepped down from his seat.

Looking at the man in front of me.

"You? What right do you have?"

Upon hearing Li Zhi's words, Charlie instantly flew into a rage.

He had long been fed up with being looked down upon.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi dared to look down on him.

He yelled directly at Li Zhi.

"What right do I have? Of course I do. But what if I exchanged the lives of everyone in the entire palace?"

Li Zhi scoffed, "You mean you've taken everyone in the entire palace hostage?"

Charlie stated bluntly, "Almost! I've already planted gunpowder in the entire palace. With just one order, the whole palace will be razed to the ground."

"If you obediently agree, I might spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Hearing Charlie's arrogant words, Li Zhi found it amusing.

"As long as you, the Emperor of the Great Tang, agree, the Great Tang will submit to my Yang Kingdom. I will not raze your Great Tang to the ground. You will certainly be subjects of our Yang Kingdom in the future."

"Well? Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, have you thought this through?"

"Do you want all the people in your palace to be buried with you because of your words, or do you want them to become citizens of my Western Kingdom?"

After saying that, Charlie immediately took out the contract he had prepared in advance.

"As long as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty signs it, all of this can be treated as if it never happened."

"I can have my people withdraw at any time, and it will absolutely not have any impact on your Great Tang territory."

He directly handed Li Zhi a contract he had written, forcing him to sign an unequal treaty between the two countries.

"So? Are you still hesitating? Still unwilling to agree? As long as you agree now, I can immediately have all the gunpowder withdrawn."
