In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.
Chapter 294 Royal Palace Mutiny
boom!
Li Yuanchang reacted quickly, grabbing it and the sharp point only scratched his shoulder.
"You bitch!"
Li Yuanchang cursed loudly, nearly falling for a honey trap, and kicked him away.
boom!
The Tangut woman was sent flying.
The sounds of fierce fighting quickly alerted the guards outside, and Guo Chao led his men in a thunderous charge.
"Your Highness!"
"How are you?"
Li Yuanchang put on his coat and quickly distanced himself.
I can't imagine what would happen if this happened suddenly while I was doing something; even a god wouldn't be able to react in time.
Then he would truly become the first prince in the Tang Dynasty to die while pregnant by a woman.
"Take her down!"
"yes!"
The assassin was swiftly apprehended, while the other two women cowered on the bed, their faces deathly pale.
"Release them both. She's the only murderer. Keep her under control and don't let her die!" Li Yuanchang didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately and wiped the blood off his shoulder.
"yes!"
Immediately afterward, Li Yuanchang rushed out without having time to interrogate anyone.
At this moment, a large number of guards had gathered and sealed off the entire palace. The shouts of battle from the Tuyuhun royal palace grew louder and closer.
Li Yuanchang climbed onto the roof and looked into the distance. He saw a large number of torches raised high, and an army of several hundred men was marching towards the palace.
"Damn it, they're coming for us!"
"Prepare for battle!!"
With a roar, he quickly donned the Bright Armor with the help of Guo Chao and others.
"yes!!"
A large number of roadblocks were dragged to the palace gate, and all the crossbowmen climbed to the high ground, quickly forming a defensive formation of three hundred men.
Princess Honghua is still in this palace.
"You bastard! The Khan of Tuyuhun dares to rebel!"
"It seems he was behind the Chiling incident too!" The crowd was furious and anxious, like ants on a hot pan, after all, this was the stronghold of Tuyuhun.
The situation is dire and the chances of recovery are slim.
"No!"
"It's probably not Murong Khan; it's some kind of mutiny!"
"There's a fighting going on over there, and someone is trying to stop it. If it were Murong Khan, there wouldn't be any internal strife."
Li Yuanchang remained calm and composed, his mind exceptionally clear.
"Quickly send men out the back door to search for Murong Khan; he may also be in danger!"
"yes!"
During the conversation, Li Yuanchang had already donned his Mingguang armor. He was extremely powerful and exuded a fierce killing intent. He personally led his men to block the huge palace gate.
The night was thick with darkness, but the flames soared into the sky.
The enormous palace was shrouded in an extremely oppressive and deathly silence.
Outside the palace gates, shouts of killing and footsteps grew closer and closer.
Inside the palace gates, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard, lined up in a dark square formation, gripped their Tang swords tightly, their palms sweating, each one tense.
The time it takes to drink half a cup of tea felt like an eternity.
Li Yuanchang looked extremely solemn. He only had three hundred men, and he was very worried that something might have happened to the Khan of Tuyuhun.
If the person behind the scenes gains control of the central command, then things will get complicated!
"They're here! They're here!"
"Your Highness!"
Guo Chao, on the rooftop, held up binoculars and shouted down.
Li Yuanchang's face turned grim for a moment. The arrival of the rebel army meant that the palace's army had been breached.
"Ready!!"
He roared and raised his hand. In the end, he could only rely on his three hundred men, even though he didn't know what had happened.
"Ready!!"
All the crossbowmen were ready, the black repeating crossbows gleaming coldly, a great battle was about to break out, and the air seemed to be suffocating.
Just as Li Yuanchang was about to give the order to fire, the situation suddenly changed again!
"stop!"
"With me here, who dares to act recklessly?!"
An angry roar came from outside the palace, accompanied by the rumble of armor, as another army arrived, accompanied by the sounds of fighting.
Li Yuanchang's eyes flashed. Murong?
He quickly climbed onto the palace roof and looked down to see a large contingent of Tuyuhun royal guards arriving just in time to halt the rebels' advance.
A conflict and fighting quickly broke out between the two sides, but it was clear that Murong Khan had more men.
Li Yuanchang let out a long sigh of relief!
"It seems to be pretty much as I predicted."
"Let's go out and help!" he decided immediately.
"yes!"
Crack!
The heavily blocked palace gates were slowly opened, and Li Yuanchang personally led a hundred guards out.
However, Murong Khan was no pushover. After all, he was Khan, and as soon as he appeared, some people surrendered. With his numerical advantage, he quickly suppressed the rebellion.
"Murong Khan!"
"Your Highness, is the princess safe?" Murong Khan asked with concern.
"The princess is safe. What exactly happened?" Li Yuanchang glanced at the chaotic palace. The two sides fighting were clearly the Tuyuhun royal army.
Murong Khan looked displeased.
"Your Highness, it was my men who suddenly rebelled, took weapons from the armory, and launched an attack, heading straight for the palace."
"Upon receiving the news, I arrived immediately."
Li Yuanchang frowned: "Why would this happen all of a sudden? This is your palace!"
Murong Khan's young and heroic face was flushed red, and he looked extremely angry: "Your Highness, I don't know yet either. We'll talk about it after the suppression."
"Please wait a moment, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Li Yuanchang nodded, it seemed the other party was unaware of the female assassin's existence.
About fifteen minutes later, the sudden palace rebellion was swiftly suppressed, and many corpses lay on the blood-soaked stone path.
The main figures of the rebellion were captured alive by their subordinates and brought before Murong Khan and Li Yuanchang.
"Zhalunuo, how dare you rebel against me?" Murong Khan roared.
The disheveled, defeated general, his face grim, shouted, "Khan, have you lost your mind?!"
"The Tang Dynasty harbors wolfish ambitions; they want us to become their slaves!"
"Shut up! Why did you do this? Did you do the things at Chiling?" Murong Khan shouted angrily.
"Khan, I'm doing this for your own good!"
"Do you know that Princess Honghua is not the daughter of the Great Khan of the Tang Dynasty at all? She is merely a lowly princess..."
"Virgin!" Zalun shouted, his eyes filled with anger and humiliation.
boom!
These words stunned the entire audience.
Even the furious Murong Khan was taken aback.
Li Yuanchang was also startled, and his eyes changed.
How did he know?
"Khan, the Tang Dynasty is humiliating us!"
"If you dare not, then this humble servant will do it!"
"I will take full responsibility. I cannot bear to see you humiliated!" Zhalunuo's eyes were filled with rage, like a wild beast, staring intently at Li Yuanchang.
He didn't look like he was acting; he was very angry.
At this moment, the guards of the Tuyuhun royal palace all looked at Li Yuanchang and his group, seemingly demanding an explanation.
Even Murong Khan's expression turned somewhat ugly as he looked at Li Yuanchang.
In an instant, he was being watched by thousands of Tuyuhun people and was suddenly roasted on a fire.
At that moment, Li Yuanchang felt like killing someone. Who the hell leaked the secret?!
Of the entire marriage alliance, only he knew Princess Honghua's true identity!
Li Shimin claimed that the person here was a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the eunuch Chang repeatedly emphasized before leaving that the Tuyuhun people must not know the truth.
The Tuyuhun people sought a princess from the Tang Dynasty, while the status of a woman from the imperial family was clearly far inferior. In the eyes of some nomadic peoples, this deceptive marriage was undoubtedly a humiliation.
Humiliation inevitably breeds hostility.
