How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

Hundred Cavalry!

Li Shimin's personal bodyguard.

It was built by selecting elite soldiers and generals since the uprising in Taiyuan.

Initially commanded by Yuchi Jingde, he was Li Shimin's most important guard.

Later, when Yuchi Jingde stepped down, the army was handed over to his trusted confidants for management, but it was still the army that Li Shimin trusted the most.

The army was small, only a hundred men, fully armored and riding horses worth thousands of gold.

In so many life-and-death moments, all thanks to the desperate defense of the Hundred Cavalry Army.

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, they were the first to rush into the palace in fine clothes and on fast horses.

At this moment, Li Shimin mobilized the Hundred Cavalry Army, and the civil and military officials below the stage finally realized how frightened and angry the emperor was.

No need to say more!

Once the order was given, in a moment, a hundred elite cavalrymen rushed out of Jiucheng Palace at full speed and galloped all the way towards Chang'an City.

……

"shelf!"

On the official road under the moon.

A team of about twenty cavalrymen were also galloping at a rapid speed.

The person leading the team was none other than General Li Junxian of the Zuowuwei Army!

Li Junxian rode his horse, knocked away the guards, and escaped from Jiucheng Palace. He was immediately sobered by the cool night breeze.

He was going to regret it to death.

Why am I running?

Why should I run?

I was personally appointed by Your Majesty as the General of the Left Guard, in charge of ten thousand troops and guarding the Xuanwu Gate.

Why should I run!

Wouldn't my escape confirm my accusation of treason?

Xuanwu Gate! What an important place this is.

But I was really scared just now!

I was afraid that the heads of the nine tribesmen would all disappear after daybreak.

Can……

"Xu..."

After thinking it over again and again, Li Junxian stopped his horse and stood there, looking hesitant.

"General...why did you stop?"

Seeing this, the personal soldiers following behind reined in their horses and stopped.

The captain of the guards stepped forward and asked anxiously: "General, why did you stop? We have already rushed out of Jiucheng Palace, and now we should rush back to Chang'an City as fast as lightning!"

Li Junxian looked at the other person expressionlessly.

"Why are you rushing back?"

The captain naturally knew what had happened at the banquet not long ago, and spoke without hesitation.

"Of course, we will take control of Xuanwu Gate, march into the imperial city, and first capture Li Shimin's harem and family members, and then capture the current crown prince Li Zhi..."

"presumptuous!"

Snapped!

Li Junxian didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and swung the horsewhip at the captain of the personal guards' face, leaving his skin and flesh torn.

"You are the ones who eat the emperor's salary and receive his salary! How dare you encourage this general to be a traitor?"

The captain of the guards was whipped in the face, but he was so anxious that he didn't even bother to wipe the blood and shouted in shock.

"General! Now that the prophecy has come true, if you don't take the initiative, are you waiting for Li Shimin to kill your entire family?"

"Not only will he kill your entire family, he will also kill all nine generations of my clan!"

"If we don't take control of the imperial city and execute the crown prince, leaving Li Shimin to be an emperor with no home to return to, what else can we do?"

"you……"

Li Junxian was so angry that he wanted to whip the other person again, but looking at the other person's determined expression, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Not only the captain of the personal guards, but also the twenty personal guards who ran out with him all looked like this.

Now that it has come to this, what else do you want?

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Li Junxian panted and shouted through gritted teeth.

"No matter what! This general cannot be a traitor who plots treason!"

"Even if Li Shimin really wants to kill me, so what?"

"If you value your lives, run! This general will return to Jiucheng Palace and personally apologize to His Majesty..."

As he said this, Li Junxian turned his horse around and was about to return to Jiucheng Palace.

"General!"

Everyone became very anxious upon seeing this, and the horses under them also moved anxiously.

"What? You still want to test the steel knife in my hand... Is it sharp?"

Swish!

Li Junxian had already drawn his sword and looked at everyone with a frown.

Everyone was stunned and felt hopeless.

Their lives, their wealth and glory, everything they have was given by the general.

Even a beast knows how to be grateful. How dare he use a knife or a gun against the general?

That’s all!

If you want to go back and die, we will follow you at the risk of our lives!

Everyone slowly lowered their heads, stopped trying to persuade him, and turned their horses around.

Seeing this, Li Junxian forced a smile and said, "Don't be pessimistic!"

"Your Majesty is a wise ruler who can see through everything and will not rashly kill an old minister."

"Even if I am arrested and imprisoned, I still have to go through the interrogation of the three judicial officials, the witnesses of the people of the world, and the supervision of the civil and military officials!"

"I just don't believe that he can kill me directly?"

Everyone remained silent, feeling bitter in their hearts, perhaps having guessed their final fate.

Sometimes, those involved in the matter are confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly. This is not just talk.

Because those in power always have illusions in their hearts, hoping that they can get away with it.

It is this kind of fantasy and luck that has killed countless lives throughout history.

"Let's go! Follow me back and let's talk things out with His Majesty!"

Seeing that no one was talking, Li Junxian became more determined.

He didn't have far to escape from Jiucheng Palace, and he could return to the banquet in two incense sticks' time.

who knew...

He led the crowd a short distance.

Da da da da…

Suddenly, the sound of dense horse hooves came from the direction of Jiucheng Palace.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the news, and they all drew their sabers.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! It must be someone sent by His Majesty to find me!"

Li Junxian even ordered everyone to put away their sabers to avoid any misunderstanding.

Can……

next moment!

He could no longer speak.

But under the moonlight, a team of heavily armored cavalry quickly appeared before their eyes.

Hundred Armored Army!

Li Junxian's eyes narrowed. How could he not recognize that this was Li Shimin's most trusted personal guard.

He suddenly felt something was wrong.

If you asked me to go back, why would you send them out?

and so……

"Swipe!"

It was just a moment of hesitation.

A line of sharp arrows has been shot over!

"General, hurry up! We will protect you until our death..."

Twenty bodyguards yelled in shock and turned their horses' heads like crazy.

For a moment, the official road was crowded with people and horses.

Puff puff puff puff!

Nearly a hundred sharp arrows had already shot down seven or eight people on the spot.

"General, hurry up! We are here to cover your retreat!"

Seeing this, the captain of the personal guards realized that he could not escape anyway, and could only shout in shock.

He ordered everyone to give up turning around, and instead drew their sabers and rushed towards the enemy.

"Qi Chen!"

Li Junxian was furious and shouted the name of the captain of the personal guards angrily.

Unfortunately, the captain of the personal guards and the remaining dozen or so people had collided with the Hundred Armor Army.

It's like a campfire meeting a flash flood.

In an instant, all their figures disappeared and were surrounded by the other side.

"what……"

Li Junxian finally gave up and finally understood what Li Er’s attitude towards him was!

He's going to kill me!

Li Junxian screamed in shock, and without caring about the grief over killing twenty of his brothers, he could only turn around and flee.

"Drive, drive, drive..."

He waved his whip like crazy, but he felt the pursuers following him closely.

Whoosh!

Howling!

I don't know how far I ran, but I heard a sharp scream and the horse under me was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground with a scream.

Li Junxian fell down and rolled in the mud.

Hurala!

More cavalry followed soon after.

Li Junxian, regardless of being covered in dust, stood up and ran wildly into the fields beside the road.

Whoosh...

There were three more sharp screams, and three feather arrows stuck in the ground near his feet.

The warning is very obvious.

Run again?

If you run again, I'll shoot you in the head next time!

Li Junxian had no choice but to stop where he was and turn around.

But a cold shout came from behind.

"Don't look back! General Li, just kneel down where you are..."

Li Junxian immediately felt hopeless.

He understood that most of the soldiers behind him were his former comrades.

Many people were even brought up by him and Yuchi Jingde.

He didn't allow himself to look back, obviously because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it.

Li Junxian also completely gave up and understood Li Shimin's decision.

As expected...

Kill yourself!

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He threw his head back and laughed out loud, then turned his back to the crowd and shouted angrily.

"Who is leading the team? And who wants to kill me?"

"Hey……"

A soft sigh came from behind, and it was the voice of Gao Quan, Li Shimin's personal eunuch.

Gao Quan said quietly, "General Li, you are a beautiful woman, why do you become a white-haired thief?"
