Chapter Thirty-Six: Smashed to Death on the Imperial Throne

  Li Yuanba arrived at Li Xiuning's side with a pair of hammers, looked up at his elegant and spirited sister and said: "Xiuning, be careful this time you go out to battle, or else brother will replace you! You're a woman going out to battle, aren't you afraid people will laugh at the Li family for having no men?" Li Yuanba finally had some realization, but Li Xiuning clearly didn't appreciate it.

  "Third brother, you're not good at leading troops! If you go, the whole army will blame you for not giving them a chance to gain merit and blocking their path to promotion! Don't worry, I've been through many battles, and this time Master gave me three treasures that can protect me from harm. Besides, isn't Second Brother here? Sister, I don't want you to add more killing, the cycle of heaven is clear, I still want to hug Third Brother's children in the future! Don't worry, Third Brother, just be at ease!" Li Xiu Ning felt warmth in her heart, knowing that this third brother was really worried about her safety.

  Li Shimin was already surprised when Li Yuanba came! It seems that the fourth sister really has the best relationship with Lao San, which is the first time in the Li family to enjoy the treatment of being sent by Lao San and replacing him on the battlefield. This is even more beneficial for his own plan! Hearing that Lao San will go personally, he is even more excited, but the fourth sister doesn't understand! As the commander-in-chief, as long as he wins, the military merit will definitely fall to his head! So, the plan in his heart becomes even more determined to be carried out!

  Li Yuanba, under Li Xiuning's persistent persuasion, thought to himself: "I don't recall Li Shimin being able to die, and since he can't die, Fourth Sister definitely won't die either!" Thinking this, he said to Li Xiuning: "Since you insist, I won't go! However, I have a few words to entrust to you - as a woman, don't be a hero! Wherever Second Brother goes, follow him, and don't leave his side with a hot head!"

  "Third brother! You already know I'm a girl, do you still need to instruct me?! Don't worry, if I'm in any danger, I'll definitely notify you immediately! I didn't expect you to be so nagging, the whole army is getting impatient waiting for you!" Li Xiuning after all did not understand just how overbearing her third brother was.

  "Who dares to be impatient? I'll send whoever is to the underground to eat shit!" Li Yuanba glared at that big army, and shouted loudly, causing the entire army to retreat several steps.

  "Third Brother! I was just about to set out on a campaign and you're undermining the morale of my troops! Humph, I won't bother with you!" Li Xiu Ning hastily urged Li Shimin's army to depart.

  "In two days, I'll also go and help you, okay?" Li Yuanba said persistently.

  "If you're coming, look at me and see if I'll ever see you again! Third brother, little sister is begging you. Your current slaughter is enough! Second brother, just hurry up and give the order!" Li Xiuning really didn't want third brother to create more karma!

  Li Shimin ordered the guards to take Li Yuanba away, and then he said: "Those who came to see him off have all left. Only those who were stirred up by this evil man remained. Where is the dignity of the emperor? Now, only the commander-in-chief on the scene, Li Shimin, gave an order...

  "Third brother, do you see that our army is about to set out? Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Xiuning!" Li Shimin could yield and compromise. In front of Li Yuanba, he had to yield without formally tearing his face! To make the world recognize him, it wasn't just about having absolute military strength, but also a broad-minded and tolerant heart!

  Li Yuanba couldn't be persuaded, and there was nothing to worry about anyway. He opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Go ahead, but you must take good care of Fourth Sister. If a single hair on her head is hurt, I'll come after you!" After finishing speaking, he didn't even wait for Li Shimin's response and turned around to leave!

  "The army sets out!" After Li Shimin ordered the army to set out, he rode his horse to Li Xiuning's side and said in a low voice: "Fourth sister, I really envy you! Even as brothers born of the same womb, not even I, your elder brother, can have a better relationship with him."

  "Second brother, your mind has been blinded by your current status! I really miss the past...” Li Xiuning felt very disappointed when she saw that her second brother couldn't see through her at all.

  The two armies finally confronted each other at the Suishui River (in present-day Quzhou, Hebei), and at this time, Liu Heita's prestige was greatly shaken. Many local martial artists came to join him, and his high-end military strength was not inferior in any way! After several battles, both sides had victories and defeats, but in one battle, Li Shimin's several top generals were surrounded by Liu Heita's troops and personally beheaded! Cheng Yaojin and other Tian Ce generals fought hard to repel Liu Heita, but also paid a heavy price. Even the legendary Li Jing, the strongest warrior in the army, was seriously injured and unable to fight again!

  Li Xiuning relied on the protective armor given by his master to withstand Liu Hei's heavy blows, and with the Baolian Xiujuan knife that could break through internal energy in his hand, he slashed open Liu's cheek, and was immediately shocked and fled. The Tian Ce Fu was injured all over, and they avoided fighting and did not come out.

  Li Shimin, in a fit of rage, began to implement his own plan! After two months of probing battles, the Tian Ce army had fully recovered. Li Shimin designed a plan to send Li Xiuning to lure Liu Heita's large army into an ambush circle. Unfortunately, Liu Heita somehow found out about his plan and turned the tables on him, separating Li Xiuning's mother's army from Li Shimin's main force and surrounding and killing Li Xiuning!

  At this time, two fast horses went in two directions! Seven days later, on a deep night, a black shadow rushed horizontally and vertically, breaking through the tightly closed giant city gate and flashing into the dark night, disappearing in the blink of an eye!

  "Give me directions, I'm going to speed up!" Li Yuanba carried his double hammers and rushed towards the Swan Water with Wang Ting on his back!

  "Fourth sister, hold on!" Li Yuanba anxiously ran at full speed, he was even faster than the world's fastest BMW!

  Wang Ting on the back was frightened by Li Yuanba's speed, is this still human speed? In front of him, a white barrier was being pushed forward by Li Yuanba, and the unclear scenery in the distance was thrown behind his head! When Wang Ting, who was close to legendary, stopped to guide Li Yuanba, the piercing whistling sound that shook the sky came from behind, and the force that rushed over hit him with a stinging pain.

  The next day at noon, Li Yuanba rushed to the border of Suishui! Eight days! Such a long time, anything can happen! Li Shimin deliberately leaked the plan, using Li Xiuning as a pawn to lure Liu Heita's army to a low and narrow valley, taking advantage of their attempt to surround and kill Li Xiuning by pouring out the water that had been prepared on the mountain! He knew this could only defeat Liu Heita, but not kill him! Fourth sister has a precious horse - Luanyun Taohua Horse. Also, there is the horizontal sweep of thousands of troops Baolian Xiujuan knife and the knife-proof close-fitting Lianhua armor. With just these three things, before the big water arrives, Li Xiuning can take advantage of the chaos to escape safely. When Liu Heita loses his army, even if Li Yuanba doesn't come, Fourth sister's master will come and be able to kill Liu Heita at leisure! Even if Fourth sister is in danger, which military expedition or battle is not dangerous? Being able to kill Liu Heita can quickly unify the world, it's worth it!

  However, on the third day of releasing water, Liu Heita, in order to intimidate the enemy, personally launched a sneak attack on Li Xiu'ning, but failed. When retreating, he slapped and killed Li Xiu'ning's precious horse with his backhand to vent his anger!

  When the great waters suddenly arrived, the Niangzi Army was not spared! The heavily wounded and enraged Liu Heita directly entered the myth, after reorganizing his army, the tens of thousands-strong army was reduced to only 50,000. Liu Heita directly charged into Li Xiuning's less-than-10,000-strong army, killing wildly, shattering Li Xiuning's precious armor with a few palm strikes, and piercing through Li Xiuning's forehead with one finger! At this time, Li Shimin led his troops to attack, but Liu Heita was in urgent need of time to consolidate the newly broken boundary, so he hastily retreated without fighting. He fled into the Shandong region, disappearing without a trace!

  Li Yuanba rushed over in a flurry, with an ominous premonition! However, he still arrived late. A pair of scarlet eyes stared at Li Shimin: "How did you not die? Ah! Didn't I tell you to keep your fourth sister out of danger?! You good-for-nothing!" After speaking, he walked towards Li Shimin!

  General Li Jing of the Heavenly Strategy Prefecture hastily stepped forward, stretched out his hand to stop Li Yuanba, and shouted: "Wei Wang! Please restrain your grief, it's not that King Qin intentionally let the princess take risks! However, only King Qin and the princess can lure Liu Heita's army into the ambush circle. Otherwise, our army will suffer heavy losses. To end the war as soon as possible for the sake of the people, this is a necessary sacrifice! I hope Wei Wang will prioritize the common people!" While speaking of righteousness, he frantically gestured with his hands behind his back to have others take Li Shimin away! But would Li Yuanba listen?

  Pffft! One big hammer smashed to death this famous Li Jing in history!

  "Li Shimin! Very good! I'll wait for a certain moment! Haha, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes! Leave Xiuning behind, you can get out of here!"

  Li Yuanba could no longer bear the resentment in his heart. What kind of merit was it to abandon his own sister as a discarded child? What's the difference between this and being a beast? Since what I said was treated as nothing, it means that Li Shimin had planned this long ago!

  Li Yuanba is not a fool, the invincible military power just makes him lazy to think! What kind of person is Li Shimin? Li Yuanba is very clear! But this kid has already started preparing for the throne, unexpectedly, his first target was Li Xiuning who posed no threat to him, which exceeded Li Yuanba's tolerance limit!

  The most ruthless imperial family, you're not deceiving me! The enraged Li Yuanba finally doesn't care about this fragile familial bond anymore. Since you ancient people don't care, why should I, a later generation, still care? Do you think I'm stupid?! If you're so willing to sit on that supreme throne, then at that moment - I'll smash you to death on that ruthless throne!
