On March 26th, the fourth year of Emperor Yinzong's reign, the Jin army was at the gates of the city, while the various armies that were sent to support the king were mostly still on their way...
The first day of the siege!
Li Yin personally went to the top of the city wall to boost morale. That night, fires broke out in many places in the city. The west gate was attacked by a group of mysterious masters. The gate commander was killed on the spot. The west gate was wide open, and the troops of King Jin marched straight in, controlling many important roads in the city and heading straight for the imperial city!
That night, the palace caught fire and the fire burned for a whole day and night. No one knew what happened in the palace. All they knew was that the next day, the flag on the city wall was changed. Not only did the emperor change, but the country's name was also changed to Jin!
"Fulfill Song Yingxing's second last wish and destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty. Song Yingxing will give you the Changchun Gong he practiced!"
Song Yingxing?
The super weirdo who froze to death in the sky prison because of his fight with Emperor Xizong?
Changchun Gong?
It sounds pretty ordinary...
However, if Song Yingxing is a cultivator of immortality, then this technique should be... a technique for cultivating immortality?
As the sun rose, the fire in the palace was gradually put out, the Golden Palace welcomed its new owner, and Chen Changsheng quietly returned to No. 168 Changming Street!
Li Yin's whereabouts are unknown. Whether he is dead or something else, Chen Changsheng no longer has any reason to hide!
"Mr. Chen, we meet again!"
Not long after Chen Changsheng returned, a guest arrived...
"It's you? The leader of Di Ting? Haha, you are a dog, and you came here just because you smelled the scent?" Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes.
These guys are monitoring themselves so thoroughly...
"Mr. Chen, you are joking. The dog you raised, Dahuang, is truly the best among dogs!" said the Di Ting leader embarrassedly.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"Your Majesty would like to invite Mr. Chen to the palace!"
"His Majesty said that if the world had not just been settled and there was unrest everywhere, he would have come here in person..." said the leader.
"As expected, you're still good at talking... Li Ke must be very busy right now, but he's still thinking about me..."
"Okay, I'll go with you into the palace. It just so happens that I have something to ask Li Ke!" Chen Changsheng nodded.
After the death of Emperor Xizong, only Li Ke knew the secret of Song Yingxing!
The Imperial Palace!
Chen Changsheng is very familiar with this place. After all, he has lived here for more than a month...
However, the palace today was filled with a murderous atmosphere. The ground was covered in blood, and there were even corpses that had not yet been cleaned up...
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Chen, but we haven't finished cleaning up here yet!" Leader Di Ting chuckled.
"It's okay, they are just dead people. I've seen a lot of them!" Chen Changsheng said calmly.
When he first traveled to this world, in order to become stronger quickly, Chen Changsheng had to spend a night in a mass grave every day. This scene was really nothing.
"Of course, Mr. Chen has seen big scenes!" The leader of Di Ting complimented.
As the two were moving forward, Chen Changsheng suddenly frowned, grabbed the Di Ting leader with one hand, and jumped up...
The leader of Di Ting was startled...
He was already at the peak of the First Rank, and could potentially advance to the Xiantian realm at any moment. However, under Chen Changsheng's casual grab, he had no ability to resist at all...
"This person's strength is simply unbelievable!" The Di Ting leader said secretly.
In front of Huaguang Palace!
Li Ke was wearing an imperial robe, with countless elite soldiers behind him, drawing their bows and arrows, aiming forward.
At the gate of Huaguang Palace, there was only one person. Even when facing countless elite soldiers, he remained calm!
"Eunuch Pei, the fate of the world is decided. Li Yin knew he couldn't escape. He burned the palace, and I'm sure he's been buried in the flames too!"
"I, Li Ke, am also the legitimate son of my father. He sits on the throne, so why can't I, Li Ke, sit on it?"
"Why are you blocking my way?" Li Ke asked in a deep voice.
If it were possible...
He didn't want to be an enemy of this Eunuch Pei...
Back then, when he was in the capital, he knew that Eunuch Pei's strength was unfathomable. His father had even said in person that Eunuch Pei was a trump card for the Great Zhou Dynasty!
One person can be called a trump card!
This shows how powerful this person is.
Li Ke felt that Eunuch Pei was at least in the middle stage of Xiantian, or even possibly... in the late stage of Xiantian...
"Li Ke, I don't want to participate in the fight for the throne, but I want to know, are you the King of Jin or the King of Qi of the Great Zhou?" Eunuch Pei said slowly.
"Prince of Jin, Prince of Qi, they are both me, what's the difference!" Li Ke said in a deep voice.
“Of course it’s different!”
"The King of Jin is the King of Jin, and the King of Qi is the King of Great Zhou!"
"If you are the King of Jin, then to me you are the chieftain of the empire. Today, I will kill you!"
"If you were the Prince of Qi... Emperor Yinzong lost his kingdom because he was incompetent. If you, the more wise Prince of Qi, were to take the throne, the Great Zhou would only become better and better. I, an old servant, would naturally be happy and willing to serve His Highness the Prince of Qi!" Eunuch Pei said lightly.
"this……"
Li Ke frowned...
He didn't want to be an enemy of Eunuch Pei, but he couldn't lose the title of King of Jin now!
Moreover, when he started the rebellion, he was under the banner of Jin State, and he had already made up his mind to let Jin replace Zhou State and completely end the humiliation brought to him by Zhou State!
He carries the royal blood of both countries, which is his advantage. Even the original subjects of Zhou will greatly reduce their resistance. Just like when Xizong conquered Jin and married the princess of Jin, many reactionary forces in Jin suddenly disappeared...
"His Majesty!"
Many generals behind Li Ke looked at him with frowns on their faces...
The reason why Li Ke was able to raise an army so quickly without any foundation and has never lacked money and food during the battle until now is because he was fighting under the banner of Jin State and had the support of the people of Jin behind him!
Many of the generals around him were originally from the State of Jin. If he chose the King of Qi at this time...
I'm afraid that many generals will become alienated from him...
Besides, he really didn't want to inherit the Great Zhou that humiliated him!
"Eunuch Pei, the fate of the world has been decided. Li Yin has already committed suicide. Li Ke is also the son of Emperor Xizong. Why are you trying to stop him?"
At this moment, Chen Changsheng and the leader of Di Ting fell from mid-air...
When he saw Chen Changsheng coming, Li Ke finally felt relieved.
After all, the person opposite him is Eunuch Pei, and the distance is so close. Even if there are many troops protecting him, he cannot guarantee that he will be safe!
Now, with Chen Changsheng around, things are naturally very different...
"Mr. Chen, you are finally here. Eunuch Pei stopped me from entering Huaguang Palace, which really made me very embarrassed!" Li Ke said with difficulty.
"If you are the King of Qi, you can enter at any time. If you are the King of Jin, you will have to step over the dead body of this old slave!" Eunuch Pei said lightly.
After the two of them said this, Chen Changsheng instantly understood what was going on...
No wonder Li Ke was so anxious to get me to the palace. He must have anticipated this hurdle...
This Eunuch Pei is also stubborn. It would be great if he could learn from Xue Yiren from the Six Gates and directly join the new emperor...
