Phi-Fic Chapter 158 Gathering in Chang'an
Chapter 158 Gathering in Chang'an
The appointment at Suzaku Gate has arrived, Chang'an, Mingde Gate.
The day of the agreed meeting has arrived. Li Xingyun and the other two who went to Shu Kingdom have stayed here for a few days because of the empress.
They have already thoroughly surveyed the various mountain shapes and geography nearby, and have been waiting for today.
Among the princes who came after the fake Li and Li Siyuan, King Meng Zhixiang of Shu was the first to arrive, followed by King Yang Pu of Wu and Hanba and Chi Meng.
Li Xingyun and his four companions first waited at Mingde Gate for Yelu Abaoji and Qingguo Qingcheng, who were accompanied by a group of Mobei soldiers who had changed into Central Plains clothing.
Then they waited for the Heavenly Master Zhang Xuanling and the Chief Priest Xu Huan, who led the entire Heavenly Master Mansion to come to help.
Afterwards, the group waited for a long time in front of Mingde Gate, but as the agreed time was approaching, they still didn't see Zhang Zifan and the Empress and the others arrive, so Li Xingyun and the others had no choice but to go to Zhuque Gate to keep the appointment.
At this time in Chang'an City, the streets were lined with soldiers from various countries, all standing there with solemn expressions.
Meng Zhixiang, Yang Pu and Liu Yin were drinking tea inside, discussing some affairs of several countries from time to time. When they saw Li Xingyun and others coming, the three of them stood up.
"Your Highness."
After a simple greeting, the three kings began to observe behind Li Xingyun, but did not find the figures of King Qi or the Empress.
Li Xingyun saw the doubt in their eyes and said, "The others haven't arrived yet, let's go to the Suzaku Gate to keep the appointment."
"Ah."
The three kings responded that they did not think that Qi State, which had come to various countries in person to win over them, would not come today.
They must have been delayed by something, so they were not in a hurry and each gave orders to their own soldiers.
Zhuque Gate, all the princes from the Central Plains gathered here, and not only the princes from the Central Plains, but even the Poison Duke of Raojiang and the Khan of Mobei were here. It really felt like a gathering of heroes.
Li Siyuan asked someone to move the dragon throne that was originally in Jiao Lan Hall, and the fake Li was lying on his side. He only stood up when he saw Li Xingyun and others coming.
But when he saw the few people following Li Xingyun, the few small princes behind him began to get agitated, and his face darkened.
What made him upset was not the King of Wu and the King of Han, but the fact that the King of Shu actually changed sides at the last minute, which made his suspicious character think more about it.
He secretly thought about the power of both sides. Now Li Xingyun only had the King of Shu, the King of Wu, the King of Han, the Tianshi Mansion and Yelu Abaoji.
On his side were Ma Xiyue, King Jin, Du Gong, Meng Po and other minor princes.
Therefore, my chances of winning are still greater than Li Xingyun's.
The biggest variables now are Qi State and Shuiyun Pavilion. With their current strength, whichever side they stand on will win.
Li Xingyun thought that Qi State, the most powerful country now, would stand by him, and Xu Changqing, who was supposed to stand behind him today, was now missing.
However, when Fake Li thought of the man in black standing behind Du Gong, he regained his confidence that Qi State and Shuiyun Pavilion would definitely stand by him today.
Thinking of this, he asked someone to bring a table and chairs and place them in the middle, and invited Li Xingyun to start today's meeting.
......
the other side,
The missing Xu Changqing whom the fake Li missed was actually in Chang'an City, but now he was underground in Chang'an City, which was where Hanba buried gunpowder.
He had left a letter, and the empress followed the instructions and asked Hanba to transfer the gunpowder away.
And his purpose here was to arrange some things so that the soldiers sent by Li Siyuan would never return, so that Li Siyuan would not find any problems.
After finishing it, he looked up, thinking that everyone must be there, the story was almost over, and he would soon be able to see the people who placed the bets.
It's almost there, it's almost there...
......
Back at Suzaku Gate, Li Xingyun and the fake Li argued endlessly due to their different ideas.
After hearing Li Xingyun's disdain for Yuan Tiangang, the fake Li suddenly became furious and scolded Li Xingyun, but Li Xingyun remained calm.
“I don’t want to be an emperor because I know I don’t have the ability. Even if I were to take the position, it would not change the people’s miserable lives.
On the other hand, the Qi Kingdom originally had a bright future, but because of you and Yuan Tiangang's continuous wrongdoings, it has come to this point.
I came here today to tell you that although I am incapable of ruling the world, I will never allow a few monsters to destroy it."
“Hehe..hahahaha…”
Who would have thought that after hearing Li Xingyun's comments about himself and Bad Leader, Fake Li suddenly laughed:
"Monster? Indeed, the Marshal is often called a monster behind his back, but that's because people are afraid of him!
Speaking of which, did you know that your senior brother Anton is also a monster?
Why do you think Liu Yin, Yang Pu and Meng Zhixiang submitted to the State of Qi?
He unified Tubo, won over Xuanming Corpse Ancestor, and even manipulated the life and death of Liang State by himself, stirring up the storm. Do you think he is a good person?
But it just so happens that I really like the name of monster. People will succumb out of fear, and will bow their heads and kneel down out of fear.
Being domineering is the right way. As long as you want something, you must get it!
What's wrong with going against the will of heaven? What can heaven do to me?
Today, here, in front of the kings and princes of the world, I, Li Xingyun, sit on that seat.
This is what I want! ”
Then, in order to prove who the real Li Xingyun was, the fake Li ordered someone to light a stick of incense.
He threatened to kill them all if Li Xingyun could not prove that he was real before the incense burned out.
Similarly, if Li Xingyun could, he would commit suicide here.
......
In this way, time passed by minute by minute, and when the incense just burned out, Ma Xiyue could not wait to give orders to the archers, wanting to shoot Li Xingyun and his group.
But at this moment, Miao Luantong also arrived with King Chu and Ma Xisheng, and publicly announced the abolition of the eldest son Ma Xiyue's status and expelled him from the family tree.
"impossible!"
But how could Ma Xiyue accept it so easily? He rushed towards the King of Chu's carriage like a madman.
But when he found that there was no one inside, his frightened heart calmed down again, and he looked at Ma Xisheng with a bit of complacency, thinking that he was the one who falsely conveyed the order.
Just when he was about to give another order to kill Ma Xisheng, he heard Ma Yin's voice coming from the city wall.
"What the hell, what the hell, what the hell!"
On the city wall, Ma Yin was seen leaning on a crutch, fighting a Chu soldier with several fierce blows.
Then he walked to the city wall with a gloomy face, but when he stuck his head out, he looked at Ma Xiyue who was terrified below with a smiling face.
"Son, I'm still strong and healthy, don't you think about it?
I've heard for a long time that you're in a gang and have evil intentions. I didn't expect that you'd start attacking your own brother just because I pretended to be sick.
Oh, my little heart. Hurry up... Hurry up and help me, and drag him down."
As he spoke, Ma Yin led a group of archers on the city wall down and came to Li Xingyun.
At the same time, Li Xingyun and others also greeted Zhang Zifan and others.
The fake Li's face became even gloomier. Now the three kings of the south have all run to Li Xingyun's side, together with the Tianshi Mansion and the Khan of Mobei, now the small princes behind him can't wait to join Li Xingyun one by one.
The only ones who can clearly stand on his side are Prince Jin, Lord Du and Meng Po. If Qi State and Shuiyun Pavilion don't come, it will be difficult for him to win.
