Chinese dining table

Chapter 1288 No more pretending, all very sincere

Yun Chu said nothing, but he was filled with murderous intent. Not long after entering Jiucheng Palace, he had to stop his warhorse. The black horse pawed its hooves unwillingly, and the horseshoe collided with the stone slab under his feet, causing a streak of sparks from time to time.

Taking a look at the two-meter-high shield city built with giant shields in front of him, Yun Chu stopped his soldiers from wanting to throw kerosene bombs and turned his horse's head to rush towards the fork in the road.

The team ran less than a hundred steps before he had to rein in his horse again. At the end of the fork in the road, there was also a shield city. At the connection of the giant shields, there were countless spears shining with cold light.

Yun Chu rode his horse slowly to the front of the shield city and said loudly: "Lantian Marquis Yun Chu comes to see your majesty."

A general wearing bright armor slowly rose above the shield city, looked at Yun Chu, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, this road is blocked."

Yun Chu took a look at this guy and said, "Ma Chuqin, I remember you were supposed to be the commander of the Shangzhou Army. His Majesty treated you well. Why do you want to stop me?"

Ma Chuqin showed the token to dispatch troops and said, "I obey your orders."

Yun Chu ignored him and continued to shout, "Marquis of Lantian Yun Chu comes to see His Majesty."

Ma Chuqin sighed and said, "My Lord, it's not that I want to stop you, but it's hard to disobey the Emperor's order."

Yun Chu was furious and said, "Wu, you actually dared to imprison His Majesty, get out of here now."

Seeing that Yun Chu would not listen to his advice, Ma Chuqin got off the shield city. Then, the shield city began to slowly approach Yun Chu's hundred cavalry. Yun Chu looked back and found that there were tall shield cities in front and behind him, and the spears on the shield cities had all been extended out, like a steel wall with thorns on all sides, pressing towards Yun Chu.

Yin Erhu said to Yun Chu anxiously, "My Lord, you must not be patient any longer."

After saying that, he tore off his cloak, revealing that his body was covered with explosives, and was about to rush forward, ready to risk his life to carve out a way for Yun Chu to survive.

Yun Chu grabbed Yin Erhu and said, "It's not worth it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw hundreds of strong grenadiers appearing on the houses on both sides. A quick glance revealed that they were not only equipped with gunpowder bombs, but also kerosene bombs that were one size larger than the gunpowder bombs.

Yin Erhu said in despair: "My Lord, there is no way to survive."

Yun Chu sneered and said, "They don't dare!"

After saying that, he rode his horse and rushed towards the shield city full of spears. This seemingly suicidal act made Yin Erhu terrified. He let out a wild roar and rushed forward. At the same time, the other elite cavalry also shouted and charged towards the shield city ahead.

Just as Yun Chu's horse was about to hit the shield city, the giant shields that were connected together suddenly cracked, leaving a gap for Yun Chu. Yun Chu shouted, rushed into the shield city on his horse, and rushed forward along the gap.

Unfortunately, just as Yun Chu rushed into the crack, the shield city closed again, and the elite cavalry crashed into the shield city with a violent roar.

Yun Chu turned his horse's head, looked at Ma Chuqin in front of him coldly and said, "If any of them is killed, I will kill your entire clan."

After that, he looked at the soldiers and said, "If you dare to hurt any of them, I will definitely demote your entire clan into Japanese slaves and send them to Japan to dig for silver."

Ma Chuqin bowed again and said, "Sir, it is difficult to disobey the imperial order, so please don't make it difficult for me."

Yun Chu sneered and said, "You will have to deal with the Japanese slaves for the rest of your life. You will also intermarry with them, and your descendants will all be slaves in the future."

Ma Chuqin heard Yun Chu was surrounded and uttering evil words, so he couldn't help but step forward and said, "If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yun Chu raised his lance and said, "Come and die quickly."

After saying this, the lance in his hand stabbed straight at Ma Chuqin's face with the sound of wind.

The two large shields clashed together, Yun Chu's lance pierced the giant shield, and the warrior holding the giant shield took two steps back. Then two more giant shields blocked Yun Chu.

Yun Chu shouted loudly, stabbed the giant shield with his lance, and jumped with force, actually picking up the giant shield weighing over a hundred pounds. Then he exhaled and shouted, throwing the giant shield out.

Ma Chuqin, who was more than eight feet tall, was extremely angry. He swung the Mo Dao locked at his waist and chopped it heavily on the giant shield. With a sound of tearing cloth, the giant shield with an iron surface and iron wood inside was actually split in half by Ma Chuqin's sword.

Yun Chu listened to the increasingly intense crashing sounds outside the Shield City, and said to Ma Chuqin with a voice that seemed to contain ice beads: "Let them in."

Ma Chuqin roared wildly, "Do you want me to die?"

Yun Chu narrowed his eyes and said, "If you die now, your son will inherit everything."

After saying this, he looked at the soldiers who had gathered around him and said, "Today, either you die, or I die."

The soldiers who were ready to move suddenly stopped and all looked at Ma Chuqin's face.

Ma Chuqin turned his head in despair and looked towards an attic not far away. He really hoped that someone in the attic could help him untie the knot in front of him. Unfortunately, he could only see a piece of white gauze rustling in the draft on the attic window, and no one came forward.

Yun Chu glanced at the attic and said to Ma Chuqin, "She doesn't dare to order me to be killed, so you have to kill me on your own initiative. After I die, Guanzhong will immediately fall into a situation of division and war. Why, Ma Chuqin, have you figured it out?"

Ma Chuqin knew this truth very well. In Guanzhong today, although Zhechongfu was still the Tang Dynasty's army, except for the soldiers of Zhechongfu, all the people seemed to be Yun Chu's men. Once Yun Chu died, not to mention the more than 100,000 people outside the city, even if it was to quell public anger, his entire family would be torn to pieces by the angry people of Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, Ma Chuqin shouted: "I am just a warrior, why do you treat me like this?"

After saying that, he brandished his Mo Dao and charged towards Yun Chu. Yun Chu held the lance flat without moving, but Ma Chuqin's throat was accurately pierced by the lance, going straight through the back of his head.

Watching the blood gushing out of Ma Chuqin's mouth, Yun Chu said coldly: "From the moment you accepted the transfer order from the Ministry of War and left Shangzhou, you are a dead man."

After that, his cold eyes fell on the Mo Dao beside him and said, "You are reluctant to part with this Mo Dao, so you choose to go against me, right?"

After saying this, he pulled back the lance, and Ma Chuqin's body fell to the ground with a bang. Yun Chu used the lance to cut the chain that connected the Mo Dao, jumped off the horse, raised the Mo Dao and exerted force on his waist and abdomen. After circling twice in place, he used all his strength to throw the heavy Mo Dao towards the attic.

The Mo Dao crossed the long space, and the long blade slashed on the attic, but it could not cut through the thick beams and pillars. It was firmly embedded in the beams and pillars and made a buzzing sound.

Ma Chuqin died, and the solid shield city was cracked by the endless impact of Yin Erhu and his men. As the crack became bigger and bigger... after Yin Erhu and his men surrounded Yun Chu again.

Yun Chu then pointed at the soldiers who had just watched Ma Chuqin die and said, "You are only fit to live in Japan from now on."

This time Yun Chu did not choose to continue charging, but slowly moved towards Qingliang Palace.

Yin Erhu looked back at the soldiers of the Shangzhou Zhechongfu and said to Yun Chu, "What a pity for such a brave man, sir. Since he has decided to join the Queen, why doesn't he stick to it until the end?"

Yun Chu said with some sadness: "In the Jiucheng Palace now, there are only greedy people, but no heroes. They are all thinking about how to get benefits from the Jiucheng Palace, but they forget that this is not a place for warriors like them to enter."

Yin Erhu asked, "Will the Lord let Ma Chuqin's family go?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "No, they must go to Japan and eventually become shameful Japanese slaves."

"I heard from you that you want Ma Chuqin's son to succeed you."

Yun Chu said: "Waguo now also has a Shangzhou."

Yin Erhu looked at Yun Chu's face and said softly, "People from Guanzhong are going to Japan?"

Yun Chu glanced at the Jiucheng Palace in front of him and said loudly: "In fact, I would rather burn down the Jiucheng Palace right now, and burn all the people in this palace city, including myself, to ashes.

It's so dirty here.

And they are all cowards!

One dared not murder her own husband.

One dares not to kill his father.

Even their minions dare not kill me, an arrogant and rude marquis.

They are not even qualified to be bad guys.

Each of them waited shamelessly for their husbands and fathers to die alone. Each of them was like a wild wolf that ate carrion in the wild. Not only were they covered in stench, but even their internal organs were dirty.

Yun Chu roared very loudly. Although there was no one within his sight, Yun Chu believed that the corners that he could not see were crowded with people.

Li Hong took Ma Chuqin's sword from the beam of the attic, held it in his hand and waved it in a beautiful way, then he stuck the sword on the ground and said to Wu Mei who was not far away: "My master cursed very dirty."

Wu Mei smiled and said, "You can go and kill him."

Li Hong shook his head and said, "I can't kill him."

Wu Mei said: "You dare not kill him, which means that what he said was not wrong."

Li Hong frowned and said, "I don't think I'm as bad as Master said."

Wu Mei said: "He forced you to make Chang'an your capital in the future."

Li Hong said irritably: "Why is he so obsessed with Chang'an? If he keeps being the same, I would rather let the Yun family manage Chang'an forever."

Wu Mei sighed and said, "You, me, and Yunchu all know that this is an impossible thing. You dare to make such a promise, but Yunchu doesn't dare to believe your promise. Moreover, if you are in Chang'an, I can only stay in Luoyang, and the Tang Dynasty royal family will be divided. You occupy the south, Guanzhong, Shuzhong, the southeast, and even the Western Regions, while the places I can command are in Hejian, Shandong, Hebei, and Liaodong. A situation has long been formed where you are in me and I am in you. Once a war breaks out, the national strength that the Tang Dynasty has accumulated with great difficulty over the years will rapidly decline to the point where it is possible during the reign of Emperor Taizong."

The most important thing is that for so many years, the Tang Dynasty has been waging war against foreign countries, and has only intimidated and exploited the four barbarians without any appeasement.

Those people hated the Tang Dynasty to their core but were powerless to resist. They were just surrendering, not all of them died.

Once my mother and I are at odds, no part of the Tang Dynasty's border will be safe.

Not to mention that over the years, you and your son have instigated me to commit so many murders. When your father knew that he would not live long, he created the foolish things of the bloody night in Luoyang and the bombardment of Chang'an. The nobles hate me to the core and they also gnashed their teeth at your father.

As our son, you have also lost all trust from them.

Now, it can be said that the royal family is in the most dangerous time. At this time, Honger, you still need to be patient. "

Li Hong threw away the Mo Dao in his hand, then looked at Wu Mei and said, "I have been my father's crown prince for 23 years. Now, my father is seriously ill. Do I have to continue to be my mother's crown prince?"
