C44 Kaiser died

Seeing Li Bing being stabbed in the heart by his long blade, Li Jian staggered out, watching him vigilantly, and did not dare to get close.

"Don't worry, he's already dead. What are you afraid of? Congratulations Your Highness, after tomorrow morning, you will be the ruler of this country. " Qin Qiong cupped her fists and said.

"Duke of Qin, it should be His Majesty now." The old man in black chuckled.

Li Jian walked over to Li Bing's corpse with a flattering smile. When he saw Li Bing's furious eyes staring at him, he felt a chill down his spine.

Li Tangguo's number one expert had died under the combined efforts of Li Jian, Qin Qiong and the black-robed old man.

If it was any ordinary person, they basically would not be able to get close to Li Bing, and even more so, would not give anyone the chance to stand beside them and make their move. The reason why he was able to hit Li Bing was all because Qin Qiong's strangeness had attracted all of Li Bing's attention.

As long as there was a trace of caution, with Li Jian's strength, it was impossible for him to stab Li Bing.

Who would have thought that his nephew, whose strength was so insignificant that it could be ignored, would suddenly kill him?

Qin Qiong and the black-robed old man were unable to kill Li Bing. Li Jian's poison dagger had played a crucial role.

The thing worth mentioning was that no matter how strong the poison was, it could not poison the Dan Yuan Stage Expert to death. After condensing a Yuan Dan in the Dantian, one could circulate the Yuan Dan to absorb the poison and forcefully refine it.

Given some time, Li Bing would definitely be able to refine the poison and recover fully.

Killing Li Bing, the three of them could not be missing a single one. Other than Li Jian being beaten up and vomiting blood, Qin Qiong and the black-robed old man were unharmed, and their elemental energy had not been consumed by much.

Li Yuan died an even simpler death. The colourless and tasteless poison powder made one's head spin after drinking it. The cause of death could not be investigated. It could only be due to toiling away at national affairs day and night until one died of exhaustion.

That poison powder had no effect on the Dan Yuan Stage Expert. Li Yuan was not very talented, and had an unlimited supply of cultivation resources, so he was only at the seventh stage of Condensing Yuan Stage.

"Thank you, King Qin, thank you Soul Elder. After I ascend the throne, I will definitely be greatly thanked!" Li Jian gave a coquettish smile, nodding and bowing.

"Prepare the matters for the imperial court tomorrow, there is no need to impeach Guo Ziyi, as long as you can convince the civil and military officials to successfully ascend to the throne, Guo Ziyi will be handed over to us to kill. After the assembly ends, let those who are against you leave first. Once they enter Xuanwumen, I will cooperate with the imperial guards and kill them all, once and for all. " Qin Qiong said.

"Yes, we'll let the Duke of Qin decide."

"Lieutenant Lin, are you ready?" Li Jian summoned Lin Chong over, and after tidying up the mess, he asked smugly.

"Your Highness, everything is fine. Everyone in Xuanwumen must die." Lin Chong knelt on the ground with his head lowered, but Li Jian could not see his expression.

"Very well, after this is done, I will keep my promise and let your family go, so that you can be promoted to a great general!" Li Jian said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"You go and prepare, don't let anything go wrong. If I don't become the Emperor, you and your family will all die. "

Lin Chong brought a few of his trusted aides to patrol the palace. Inside the palace, there were five steps, five steps, one guard.

Hundreds of heavy crossbows were set up on the battlements of the Xuanwumen, and over ten thousand imperial guards were hiding in the vicinity of the Xuanwumen, following the plan.

"Crown Prince, ah, Crown Prince, I didn't expect that you would be able to kill your father and usurp the throne."

"If you become the emperor, what will Li Tangguo become?"

"If you can even kill your own father, after this is over, will I be able to live? Anyone who knows of this matter will probably die, right? "

"It doesn't matter if I die, but my wife and children have been implicated in vain!"

Lin Chong secretly thought, his fists clenched, his nails digging into his palms, the veins on his arms exposed.

"No!" I can't let Li Jian become the King! Right now, the only person who can stop him is the Guo Family! "

Thinking about it, Lin Chong released his fist and instructed the assistant generals by his side to continue their patrols.

It was midnight.

When the flames in the Changyang City were extinguished, Guo Nan and Guo Ziyi descended from the roof, preparing to take a short nap, before gathering their strength and heading towards the morning assembly.

Just as they landed on the ground, Yang An hurriedly found Guo Ziyi and Guo Nan.

"Master, Young Master, the gatekeeper has found a letter."

Yang An passed the letter in his hand to Guo Ziyi.

Guo Ziyi frowned: "I did not know who sent them here."

"No, just an arrow."

Guo Ziyi nodded and opened the letter.

Under the hazy starlight, Guo Nan and Yang An saw the letter trembling in their hands. Guo Ziyi clenched his teeth, his old face pale white, and his tiger eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Li Yuan died! Li Bing also died!"

Guo Ziyi seemed to have aged a few years in an instant. He passed the letter to Guo Nan, clasped his hands behind his back, and raised his head to look at the night sky.

Guo Nan and Yang An came together. After reading the letter, both of their faces were heavy.

They did not have much feelings for the Li Family, but Guo Ziyi was different. When Li Yuan was still young, he was already a vice general on the battlefield.

The relationship between him and Li Yuan was not that of an enemy, nor was it that of a close friendship that had forgotten its age. Everything that had happened in the Guo Family was bestowed to him by Guo Ziyi's two hands, as well as his trust.

It could be said that Li Yuan was the one who watched as he grew up, and it was Guo Ziyi who protected his Li Tang Jiang and mountain, and it was also Guo Ziyi who similarly caused him to have difficulty sleeping and eating.

From Li Yuan, Guo Ziyi also gained status and respect.

Guo Ziyi could live twenty years longer than an ordinary person when he was promoted to the Danyuan stage. Li Yuan's body was in a mess. He had always been afraid that he would fall down in front of Guo Ziyi's lion, he had always been worried that his own juniors would not be able to control the Guo Family and lose Li Tang Jiang Shan.

It wasn't until Guo Family was heavily rewarded after the Autumn Hunt that he could feel at ease. Guo Ziyi would not retaliate, and Guo Nan also didn't think much of the Li Family's Jiang Shan.

The relationship between Guo Ziyi and his was extremely complicated.

Li Yuan's death was like a monstrous wave in Guo Ziyi's heart, but in Guo Nan and Yang An's eyes, it was only sudden and blank, with a trace of worry.

"Stop Li Jian from ascending the throne!" The three of them looked at each other and reached a consensus.

In the monthly assembly, all officials of the sixth stage and above in Changyang City arranged their uniforms and hats, and arranged them outside the entrance according to their size.

When the morning bell was rung, the afternoon gate creaked open. Over a thousand officials filed in, crossed the Golden Water Bridge, and walked to the Taihe Temple Square.

A dragon throne was placed at the entrance of the Supreme Harmony Temple. Dozens of palace maids and imperial guards stood on both sides of the throne.

Guo Ziyi and Yuwen Ji stood together in the middle of the first row.

Yuwen Ji tilted his head and stared at Guo Ziyi, secretly pleased with himself: "You've fought with me for your entire life, and in the end, it turns out that I've still won!"

Guo Ziyi ignored Yuwen Ji. He worriedly thought, on Guo Nan's side, are you ready?

An hour later, Li Yuan was still not here, so all the officials were waiting quietly.

Two hours later, the Dragon Throne was still empty. All the officials were secretly anxious.

In another two hours, when the sun was high in the sky, the doors of the Supreme Harmony Temple were tightly shut, and whispers filled the entire plaza.

How important was the monthly assembly? Why was the emperor so late?

Creak!

A dull sound echoed out as the ministers raised their heads to take a look. The door of the Supreme Harmony Temple had been opened.

An old eunuch walked out while wiping his tears. He looked at the officials on the square and took a deep breath.

"The Emperor is dead!"
