Open the door, fellow countryman, we are one.

Chapter 16 Focus on the World
Eunuch Cao left without leaving any promises.

Li Yi sighed lightly. Compared to people in later generations, he preferred the natives of the Only Real World.

They value friendship and loyalty more than people in later generations.

It’s not that people in later generations are shameless, but to them, this world has long disappeared and is equivalent to an illusion.

Since it is an illusion, is it necessary to have friendship with people in the illusion?

"Your Highness, according to the spies, the troops of the four princes have been mobilized, and the remaining dukes are also gathering their troops."

Xiaohuan walked in and said respectfully.

"Where are our people?" Li Yi asked.

"About 30,000 people entered the city in winter, and the rest mixed in with the refugees outside the city." Xiaohuan said.

"The first cabinet in the Qianji Pavilion can be opened now." Li Yi tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "I heard that the Moon-Watching Tower in Chang'an City is the tallest building. This prince is waiting for the prince there, and he must be alive."

"Here."

Xiaohuan responded respectfully.

She had no doubt that Qianji Pavilion had the ability to take the prince out.

The three top masters are unable to spare time, and the four princes are about to enter the palace. Li Changle has no energy to keep Li Qian.

Leaving the palace through the secret passage, Li Yi, dressed in casual clothes, came to the first floor.

This was Zuihonglou's property. Now that everyone had gone to the palace, he easily took it over.

Li Yi stood on the top floor of a nine-story building, looking towards the direction of Xuanwu Gate.

Various cold lights can be vaguely seen, soldiers are fighting, and shouts are shaking the sky.

The entire city of Chang'an was under martial law. The streets were empty, not even the soldiers patrolling the city.

The troops of the four princes had already arrived outside the Xuanwu Gate, but they did not rush in. Instead, they were waiting to see the situation of the battle inside.

No matter who wins, they will fight their way in.

If Li Changle wins, it means that the evil woman is causing chaos in the government.

If Li Qian wins, then the troops will be sent to defend the king, but the prince will die in the melee.

Li Yi had thought of their reasons.

Time passed little by little, the whole Chang'an was shrouded in an extremely depressing atmosphere, and the sky became dark.

There was a drizzle falling from the sky. Li Yi reached out to catch a few drops of rain, which were very cold.

"Your Highness, if you just watch them fight like this, all you'll end up with is a mess."

A white-haired, hunchbacked old man walked in.

"Old man, you finally decided to come out." Li Yi didn't even look back: "How does it feel to see the light of day again?"

"Anyone who comes out and sees this kind of fighting will not be in a good mood." The old man said: "The first cabinet of Qianji Pavilion has been opened, and there is no need for me to guard it anymore."

"Amitabha." The Buddha's name rang out. Mo Li came with an old monk and bowed. "Your Highness, all those participating in this battle are people of noble status. If they all die in battle, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos."

"Master, the world has long been in chaos." Li Yi said calmly: "If we don't kill them all, how will the people below come up? I want more than just a throne."

"Then what does Your Highness want?" asked the old monk.

Li Yi said: "Master, you are known for your half-dead body. I have a question for you: how can a dead tree meet spring?"

The old monk's withered body trembled slightly, chanted the Buddha's name, and stepped aside: "Amitabha, this old monk has realized it."

Li Yi stopped talking and waited quietly.

Half an hour later, the four princes led the army out. A spy climbed up to the Moon Watching Tower and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince has been defeated and is leaving the palace."

"Please ask him to come over." Li Yi said.

"Here."

The spies left quickly.

He was wearing a blood-stained python robe, with disheveled hair, and looked extremely miserable.

It was as bright as the sun in the past, but now it has fallen into the mud.

"Don't worry, everyone. After we leave the capital, I will definitely lead you to a comeback. The four great families will still have wealth." Li Qian could only promise the people around him. He rushed out, but there were only less than a hundred cultivators left by his side.

As a person from the later generations, he can accept his failure, but he does not think that he has lost.

As long as you don’t die, you can make a comeback!
"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will follow you till death..."

The thin monk beside him slapped him on the back before he finished speaking, and his true energy poured out without reservation.

Li Qian was caught off guard and was slapped away. He felt a sweetness in his throat and blood gushed out.

He quickly stood up, and his domineering true energy surged out like a river with waves.

"Yunhe, what are you doing?"

The surrounding monks were shocked and angry, and immediately surrounded the thin monk.

"How dare you betray me?!" He glared at the attacker in disbelief.

"Your Highness, why don't you look around?" Yun He said with a hearty laugh, "As expected of a top-notch master, he can withstand a direct blow without dying."

Li Qian looked at the walls on both sides, and found that they were filled with powerful bows and crossbows without him noticing.

In the distance, a group of black-armored soldiers came quickly and blocked the way.

"Li Changle, you are the one who has planned everything out, but how did he know my escape route?" Li Qian's face was gloomy, and the last hope in his eyes was shattered at this moment.

"Everyone, the army has arrived, stop pretending." Yun He smiled and said, "Prince, our master is waiting for you in Wangyue Tower."

"Master? Moon Watching Tower? You're not Li Changle's men? You... are all traitors!"

Before Li Qian finished speaking, he saw the monks surrounding Yun He put away their weapons and started to smile and make faces.

Damn it, why did everyone around me betray me?
"Prince, please come in." A soldier in black armor said coldly.

"lead the way!"

Li Qian followed them with a gloomy face.

He wanted to find out everything and didn't want to die in such an unclear way without even knowing who his final enemy was.

Looking at the Wangyue Tower, Li Qian looked up, but unfortunately he was looking in a different direction and did not see Li Yi.

Entering the Moon Watching Tower, he found that each floor was heavily guarded. What surprised him was that these soldiers were either young or old, with very few young and middle-aged men.

But they all had a strong murderous aura.

Ascending to the ninth floor, a soft chanting voice rang out: "The rain on the streets is as soft as butter, the grass seems green in the distance but is not there when you get close. Spring is the best time of the year, far better than the willows and mist covering the imperial capital."

Li Qian's body stiffened. Is there a third person from later generations?

"Royal brother, is this a surprise?" Li Yi turned around and looked at the frozen Li Qian.

"How could it be you?!" Li Qian was really surprised. It was not that he underestimated Li Yi, but he had already arranged spies, and there had been no abnormalities over the years.

Le Su walked in with hot water: "Your Highness, wash your face. His Highness said that the Crown Prince has his own way of dying, and he will give you a decent death."

Li Qian was in a complicated mood, staring at Le Su intently: "Have I ever treated you unfairly?"

"Le Su has always been Eunuch Youdao's person, the Third Prince's person." Le Su said calmly.

"Li Youdao! My right-hand man..."

"Your Highness, and me, whom you promised great benefits." Chen Xuan Gu came up from below.

puff
Li Qian's defenses were broken, and he spat out a mouthful of hot blood. He, a man from the later generations, had been so brilliant and arrogant before, but damn, all his confidants were spies?!
He deeply doubted whether his IQ had been influenced by the indigenous people.

"Do you want to know Li Changle's identity?" Li Yi's voice brought him back to reality.

"You even found out his identity?" Li Qian was stunned. This was certainly not the identity of a princess, but an identity from later generations.

However, he didn't want to know this: "I don't want to know. I just want to know how you did it. When did you arrange Li Youdao? And where did these troops come from?"

"You focus on power and raise your own army; the second prince focuses on the aristocratic family, and the eldest princess focuses on the martial arts world."

Li Yi's eyes were deep: "I am focusing on the world."

"Focus on the world?" Li Qian was stunned. He had also focused on the world, but he felt that it would be easier and faster to seize the throne directly.

How long will it take to govern the world?
"Royal brother, do you think Li Changle can slay a dragon?"
