Chapter 18 Run away
"Is there something in this world, that is gambling, when we rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, isn't that also gambling?"

Li Yuan stroked his gray beard.

"If you bet right, you will have this Tang Dynasty now. If you bet wrong, then you and I won't be here to talk together."

"So, the big thing in the world is to see whether your luck is good or not. But this time, it depends on who has better luck, you or me."

"Father, I still think I have a better chance of winning, but, Father, if you do this, are you really living too long? Do you want to meet the ancestors of the Li family?"

"You are panicking, you are anxious, Shimin, don't worry, just take your time, as for whether I have lived enough, you can say the same."

"I, Li Yuan, the first hero, have never had such a land like this. I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but now I have become a prisoner of my own son."

"And, Li Shimin, do you really think that I, Li Yuan, are so afraid of death. I have lived for so many years, and I have encountered many difficulties and obstacles."

Li Yuan clenched his fists tightly and pressed against the bed, his voice gradually became higher.

"It's just that today, in just one day, I lost two sons, and the culprit of all this is you, my dear second son."

"I regret that I should have valued you so much. I hope you can contribute to my Li family's success. In the end, I never expected that you would kill my son at the Xuanwu Gate."

"You are still here pretending to be some kind of father. Pooh, you are a beast who slaughtered brothers. I have a son like you. It is really a shame for me, Li Yuan."

"Since you killed two elder brothers, I think it won't be difficult for you to kill me again, come on, do it, let me see if the sword of the Great General of the Tang Dynasty's Tiance Mansion is as sharp as before ?”

Li Yuan slowly raised his head, exposing his neck in front of Li Shimin.

In the hall, only Li Shimin's heavy breathing was left.

After a while, Li Shimin spoke.

"Father, why do you want to die? I want you to see with your own eyes how this Great Tang has become stronger little by little under my hands."

"I want to prove that I am more suitable than all of you, all members of the Li family, to be the emperor of Datang, and I am the future of Datang."

Li Shimin roared loudly.

"Only I can bring Datang to another level. Father, you can't die, I won't kill you, and you don't want to die. I want you to see with your own eyes how I became a person who is much better than you." many emperors."

"I want to become an emperor through the ages, and father, you will be the one to witness all this with your own eyes."

"Hahahahahaha, Li Shimin, since you said so, then I, Li Yuan, will never die easily. I want to see you with my own eyes, every day, so what if you become the emperor of all ages?"

"You are an executioner. You killed your own brother and your own nephew. Do you think that you will cover up all these things?"

"Why do you want to cover it up? I, Li Shimin, killed them. Naturally, it was because I was stronger than the two of them. In the history books, the most important thing about me is definitely not that I killed two brothers, but my achievements!"

Perhaps, some people know themselves - I am the one who wants to leave a mark in the history books!
"Report to Your Highness, General Hou has sent messengers, and I have something to report to Your Highness."

"Come in," Li Shimin calmed his breathing, and Li Yuan on the bed was already lying down on the bed. "

"The enemies outside the palace stopped attacking."

"When?" Li Shimin's heart trembled slightly.

"Just now, before they attacked the palace, they suddenly retreated."

"It seems that I won the bet!" Li Yuan opened his closed eyes and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's expression changed drastically.

Walking quickly, he left the palace where Li Yuan lived temporarily. Of course, he also heard Li Yuan's hearty laughter in his ears.

It's just that this kind of laughter is more to mock himself.

"Go, gather all the available people and go to Hou Junji!"

Li Shimin's voice carried an unquestionable tone.

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

"Send a message to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, asking them to go to the nearby gates to support each city, not to come to the palace. It may be too late for them to intercept."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late. Mr. Fang sent a message just now, saying that he will arrive outside the palace in half a quarter of an hour."

"Didn't you hear my order clearly?" Li Shimin stopped and looked at the other party.

"Yes, the subordinate obeys the order, now go to pass the message!"

It seems that Li Chengdao's luck is really good, and he found a way out for him in such a situation.

It's just that you just want to leave Chang'an like this, even if it's not easy.

"King Qin." Hou Junji was bandaging the wound on his body. Seeing Li Shimin approaching quickly, he stood up and hurriedly saluted.

"When did they retreat?" Li Shimin pointed outside.

"As soon as I retreated, I asked the soldiers to report to you. Moreover, the scouts under my command found that they hadn't left yet. They retreated outside the second palace gate. They are treating the wound and preparing for the second attack.

"Let the scouts explore again. This time, don't look from a distance, but get closer to see if they are really resting. Let's make an illusion for us."

Hou Junji was a little puzzled.

"King Qin, could it be that you are worried that they will retreat."

"Junji, come with me to see it."

Li Shimin and Hou Junji walked quickly and came outside the second palace gate.

The gate that had fallen to the ground had been erected again.

"Your Highness, General." The scout also came to the two of them.

"Shields, set up." Hou Junji waved his hand, dozens of shields stood up, and headed towards the blood-stained palace gate.

"They just erected the palace gate. The enemy's crossbows were too powerful. Several brothers were shot down by arrows as soon as they showed up."

Listening to the scout's report, Li Shimin already understood that Li Chengdao had already run away.

First suppress the scout with a strong crossbow, then turn around and slip away.

"Junji, go gather the team."

"Yes. King Qin."

"You guys, come with me first. Stop holding up your shields. Others have gone to nowhere."

Li Shimin kicked the door to the ground, and as expected, there was no one behind the door.

"Let the scouts go up and find their whereabouts. Here, notify the nearest city gate to strengthen the guard."

Li Shimin was a little angry.

Father, father, the good deed you did just let Li Chengdao slip away from his palm.

At this moment, the nearest city gate to Chang'an was not far away.

Feng Li's heart was ruthless, he couldn't hesitate anymore, the enemy had already transferred half of the soldiers, if he still couldn't open the city gate, then he was really ashamed of the kindness he had shown to the East Palace for many years.

"Everyone is ready, follow me, ready to act."

Feng Li led 200 people to the street from the dark.

As if nothing had happened, he walked towards the city gate.

After turning around the last alley, the city gate was within sight of him.
