I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

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.
