Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 16 Retreat
At this time, Li Chengdao, who was originally outside the palace gate, also saw the skyrocketing fire in the palace.

"Come here, listen to my order and attack." Li Chengdao launched the attack order.

"Remember, don't make any effort, just attack on your back. In another half an hour, we will retreat directly."

"His Royal Highness, why don't you take the opportunity to attack the palace and rescue His Majesty the Emperor?"

As a martial artist, Xue Wanche asked a question that fit his status.

"Because I did not arrange this. The entire palace is controlled by Li Shimin's troops. We are not sure if this is their plan. If it is a plan, we will all die in this palace."

"Even if all this is true and we can rescue the emperor, how can we rely on a lonely emperor to keep the enemy from killing us?"

"The greatest possibility is that we rescued His Majesty the Emperor, and then Li Shimin framed us for holding the Emperor hostage, and then killed us and His Majesty the Emperor. He just killed two birds with one stone and solved all the troubles."

"Wan Che, it's not that I don't want to rescue His Majesty the Emperor, it's just that no matter what the situation is, if we rescue the Emperor, it means that we will risk the lives of all our brothers."

"They fought with us for a day today. I don't want none of them to survive. I hope they can live a few more, and then enjoy a good life in this world."

Li Chengdao's voice was a bit sad, there were 2000 royal palace guards and 2000 people in the camp, and now standing in front of him was only more than a thousand people.

"Yes, this subordinate is stupid. Thank you, Your Highness, for thinking about the brothers." Xue Wanche knelt down on the ground slowly, and kowtowed seriously to Li Chengdao.

From this moment on, Xue Wanche, who left a strong mark in the history of the Tang Dynasty, really wanted to become Li Chengdao's subordinate.

Not the son of the dead Prince Li Jiancheng.

As a master, what you can do is to treat people more like people.

Only in this way can he gain the respect of his subordinates.

Only then can they stand in front of themselves, carry the knife for themselves, and resist unknown risks.

And such a person's heart is very difficult to capture, but once you capture it, it is very difficult to lose it.

Li Chengdao helped Xue Wanche up.

"A big man, on the battlefield, why do you still care about these vulgar details? As long as you retreat faster after a while, that would be the best."

"Uh, this Highness doesn't know something. I, Xue Wanche, are naturally top-notch in escaping. I'm worried that His Highness will fall behind me after a while."

Seeing Li Chengdao's joking tone, Xue Wanche also touched his head and replied in a pretentious manner.

"What is escaping? That's called retreating. What nonsense are you talking about? If you talk about escaping again, I will punish you for disturbing the morale of the army according to the military law."

Li Chengdao is also in a good mood. As your boss, I can't find a reason to bully you.

"Yes, yes, it's the subordinate's fault, retreat, retreat, what escape, it was the subordinate's slip of the tongue just now."

"Wan Che, when we retreat later. Let's walk behind and cover for the brothers."

Li Chengdao sighed softly.

"It's not easy for these people to survive. Speaking of it, I, the Li family, are sorry for them."

"If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophe, and they wouldn't have lost so many lives."

"Your Highness is merciful, but, without you, there would be even fewer of us who survived. As the guards of the uterus, if His Highness hadn't been taken to escape today, I'm afraid there would not be more than ten people who survived."

The wind blowing at night carried Xue Wanche's voice, making people feel the endless cold.

Li Shimin rushed into the inner court, and the raging fire engulfed the entire palace where Li Yuan lived.

Kicking a servant who kept shouting to the ground, he still had a panicked look on his face.

Li Shimin looked angry.

"Where is the father? Which palace are you from?"

"Enlightenment... Enlightenment to Qin...¨."

"Say it straight, don't talk nonsense."

"Yes... yes, the younger one is the servant in Concubine Yin De's palace, and the emperor is in the side hall on the right front."

"Go, get out of here, stop yelling, get out of the palace of Concubine De."

Li Shimin was a little puzzled, a fire broke out in the palace, how could it only burn down the emperor's bedroom.

And inside the palace, although it was a bit chaotic, most of the people who came and went were servants in palace clothes.

"Go, pass on my order, let all the servants return to the palaces, no one is allowed to go out without orders."

"Also, all the concubines in the palace are not allowed to visit, and let them all stay in their own bedroom."

"I'm going to pay my respects to my father first."

It was originally an inconspicuous side hall, but now it has been tightly sealed off by many inner court guards.

Li Shimin walked fast all the way, taking two steps in three steps, and arrived outside the side hall.

Just wanted to go in, but was stopped by the guards.

"His Royal Highness Qin, His Majesty the Emperor has an order that everyone who enters must be notified, and His Majesty the Emperor permits them to enter."

"Then hurry up and report it!" Li Shimin's voice was faintly exuding anger.

"Yes, little one, let's go."

Li Shimin looked around and found that the noise in the palace had gradually subsided.

The guards in front of him were all ready to fight, but for some reason, Li Shimin still felt something unreasonable in his heart.

Just as he was thinking, the guards of the inner court trotted up to him.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, His Majesty the Emperor has an order that he does not want to see anyone."

"Well, what did you say?" Li Shimin couldn't hide the anger in his voice.

"I asked you to protect His Majesty the Emperor, not because I couldn't see him myself. Who are you, did your superior not tell you?"

"Your Highness, this is a new kid, and I don't know the rules yet." A leader-like figure ran over quickly from a distance.

"You, as a member of Tiance Mansion, dare to block His Highness King Qin's way. I think you really don't know what to do. Get out quickly. Don't dirty His Highness Qin's eyes."

"His Royal Highness, please."

"Which general of Tiance Mansion are you under the command of? It looks familiar."

The man who looked like the leader bent down slightly, and whispered back.

"This subordinate is under General Hou Junji's command and is General Hou's personal soldier. He has met His Highness with the General many times, so it is normal for His Highness to be familiar with me."

"Oh, since he is a personal soldier under General Hou's command, he must have some knowledge. What do you think of what happened in the palace tonight?"

"Your Highness, what happened in the palace tonight is a bit strange. Those who disturbed the palace were all wearing the clothes of servants. I killed a few and found that they were all eunuchs from the palace. One of them was the eunuch of His Majesty the Emperor. It didn't look like a foreigner. people."

"Moreover, the emperor's bedroom is on fire tonight. It seems that he just wanted to burn that palace down, and it didn't spread to other buildings."
