Daqian deposed the crown prince, and the emperor begged him to stop rebelling

Chapter 24: Barbarian soldiers knock on the gate!

Daqian, Qiandu.

In Dongcheng, in a quiet courtyard.

A wickedly handsome young man in a python robe sat under the pavilion, silently squeezing a letter in his hand into a flat shape.

A faint cool breath emanated from the corner of his mouth.

Li Tai looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and smiled playfully.

"The cavalry suddenly appeared and their identities are unknown?"

"A Qingyi Guard who died suddenly at home?"

"My dear brother, this is not something you can do."

"In just half a month, you gave me such a big surprise. Who is the fool who is helping you? Or is it just a coincidence?"

at this time.

A figure walked silently to the outside of the pavilion, stopped at a distance, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Lord Guo wants to see you."

Li Tai shook his head when he heard this.

"What's there to see about a dead person?"

The visitor whispered, "He said he had something important to report to Your Highness."

Li Tai closed his eyes for a long time before he slowly said, "Bring him here."

The visitor withdrew respectfully.

Soon, a man in his forties or fifties, wearing official uniform and with a resolute face, was brought to the pavilion.

As soon as they met, the man knelt down outside the pavilion without any courage.

He shouted, "Your Highness, save me!"

Li Tai opened his eyes and glanced at it indifferently.

"Hasn't there been any clues about the murderer who assassinated the Qingyi Guards?"

under.

Mr. Guo had a bitter face and couldn't help shivering all over. He said, "I have tried every possible means. It's really, really..."

Li Tai picked up the hot tea beside him, blew on it lightly and took a sip.

"This case was handled by my father's personal order, which gave you a ten-day deadline. During this period of time, you were allowed to pursue the case at will. I heard that you caused many families to be destroyed and many officials to be implicated and imprisoned. It caused a lot of trouble in the city, and this matter has reached me."

Upon hearing this, Lord Guo's eyes suddenly widened.

Then he only dared to look at the Third Prince and said weakly: "Your Highness, I have no other choice."

"Ah."

Li Tai closed his eyes and responded softly.

"Tomorrow is the deadline. Logically, you've been with me for so long, so I should help you a little."

"Crack...crack..."

Gentle applause rang out in the pavilion.

Lord Guo looked at him in disbelief as a servant appeared with a pot of wine and a small cup on the table in his hands.

Lord Guo's whole body was shaking violently for a moment!
He opened his eyes wide with disbelief, staring at the Third Prince who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"The officials I dealt with were all following your instructions!"

"I have served your Highness for many years! Why, why!?"

The Third Prince's hand holding the teacup was gently twisting on the stone table, but at this moment, it suddenly stopped.

The eyes that suddenly opened stared at the kneeling person, revealing a murderous coldness.

"Master Guo, have you forgotten how you climbed up here?"

"Perhaps drinking this glass of wine can save my family."

The words fell.

Li Tai just stood up and left.

Only a small servant was left to watch as the imperial official tremblingly poured the cup of wine into his stomach.

The death of the Blue Guard captain caused Emperor Qian to be furious, and he imprisoned, confiscated the property of many officials and ministers, and exiled them!
The third prince, who profited the most from this case, not only put his own people in those important positions, but all he paid for was a loyal old dog.

…The wind blew strongly, and the wild grass fluttered like thunder.

Outside Tiangu Pass.

Over the boundless prairie, a vast expanse of dark clouds was looming.

"Boom! Boom!"

"hiss!"

The sound of huge horse hooves is like thunder!

Countless weird and excited shouts resounded through the sky and the earth!

The barbarians dressed in animal clothes waved sharp blades in their hands and rode on horseback, rushing towards the Tiangu Pass that lay there, as deep as an ancient behemoth!

The top of Tiangu Pass.

When some soldiers suddenly saw what the large black cloud was, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and sweat continued to flow.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The warning drum was suddenly struck.

The vast Tiangu Pass was in turmoil!
In Camp No. 3.

Camp commander Mo Yang's expression changed when he heard the rapid drumbeats!
"Barbarians knocking at the gate!?"

"After so many years, why are the barbarians suddenly knocking on the gate?!"

"gather!"

"Everyone, get out! Gather!"

Outside the account, angry shouts from low-ranking officers in the death row camp rang out!
In a small dark room.

Wang Bing, who was lying on the bed and smoking heavily, was so frightened that his hand trembled. He suddenly put down the pipe in his hand and listened intently to the desolate and distant drum sound.

"Li, Li Mu."

Wang Bing swallowed his saliva and immediately looked at Li Mu who was lying on the bed opposite him.

In the same room, the other prisoners also looked terrified!
The barbarian soldiers' knocking on the pass means that there will be an extremely brutal battle between the two sides!

And as members of the death row camp, they are the best cannon fodder at this time!

Li Mu quickly stood up and listened intently to the commotion outside the house.

Shen Pingan, who had recovered for half a month, looked much better and looked at Li Mu with emotion.

If he can't survive this war, what's the point of him talking about revenge! ?

When the barbarians knock on the gate, there will be a big battle!
Even if this incident is only in memory, even if one is in the deep palace, one knows how tragic it was.

However, the barbarian soldiers knocking on the border has not happened to Daqian for at least seven or eight years!

The last time this happened was because of the extremely cold winter that year, which caused many people to freeze to death or starve to death. The barbarians went crazy and gathered from various tribes to rush through the pass!
In that battle, almost all the prisoners in the Death Row Camp were killed, and even the Tiger and Leopard Camp lost more than half of its prisoners!

If it weren't for the reinforcements sent by the imperial court, that year, we would probably have seen the barbarian soldiers once again go south to the country of Qian and commit inhumane acts of burning, killing, looting, and violence!
So this time, what are the barbarians doing?
Although it is already autumn, it is still far from being so cold that people are freezing to death or starving to death. After all, an ice disaster that is rare in a decade does not occur so easily.

Under everyone's gaze.

The silence in Li Mu's small dark room formed a sharp contrast with the noisy chaos outside.

His expression was calm as he silently checked the cards he had now.

[Host: Li Mu]

[Identity: Abandoned Crown Prince of Daqian]

[Realm: Seventh-Rank Warrior, Initial Realm]

[Practice method: None]

[Martial Arts Training: Introduction to Basic Sword Skills] (+)

[Number of enemies killed: 31]

[Free attribute points: 12+21]

The number of free attribute points has increased a bit during this period.

It’s not that there were any blind criminals who had offended him these days, and Li Mu was not the kind of person who killed people indiscriminately. In this case, he was not using the system, but was controlled by the system.

The increase in attribute points is mainly reflected in the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and Wei Wuzu.

The two elite forces that he had let lurking outside the Great Wall had quietly destroyed several small tribes in recent days, thus increasing his attribute points.
