In just a short incense stick's time, the Shenwu Gate was littered with corpses. There were those who had defended the city and those who had attacked it, but among those who stood, only the attackers with red ribbons on their arms remained.

These blood-soaked warriors stepped aside, making way for Li Yinhu in his armor who strode quickly onto the city wall.

He stood on top of the Shenwu Gate tower, watching the dense and orderly buildings of the capital. Faint shouts of battle could be heard in the distance, while the smell of blood hung heavy in the air nearby.

This was Li Yinhǔ's first time personally participating in a war. The scene of rivers of blood and corpses all over the place did not frighten him, but instead, it stimulated him and made him even more excited.

Li Yinhou slammed his hand heavily on the stone railing and turned to Zhou Xingjia, who was always at his side, saying, "Zhou Lao, the great undertaking that will last for thousands of years is right in front of us!"

"As long as we can break into the palace and kill Li Chen, then this country will be ours!"

Zhou Xingjia said in a soft voice, "Your Highness will surely be victorious in all battles, and wear the yellow robe."

Raising his hand, Li Yinhu said in a gloomy voice, "Don't call me prince anymore. I don't like hearing that."

Zhou Xingjia, blessed by fortune, had an epiphany and suddenly knelt down before the emperor, shouting, "Long live the Emperor!"

Upon hearing these four words, Li Yinhu was taken aback. He then felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him on a hot summer day, leaving him feeling refreshed from head to toe.

"Haha!"

Li Yinhu burst into laughter and said, “You are excused!”

Zhou Xingjia stood up and, seeing Li Yinhu's face full of arrogant triumph, whispered: "Your Majesty, Zhao Xuanji has not shown up until now. He is still in his Zhao residence. Is this appropriate"

A smile vanished from Li Yinhu's face, and he let out a cold snort. "I know what he's thinking. He just wants to push me to the front lines while he hides in the back, watching the situation unfold before deciding what to do next. This old fox won't risk himself until the very last moment."

Zhou Xingjia frowned and said, "In this way, wouldn't it be detrimental to the Holy Majesty"

Li Yinhu gave Zhou Xingjia a gloomy look and said, “Are there any other better ways Without him, I can't do anything. Let's just endure it for now.”

Li Yinhu said coldly, "I've already sent my confidantes out. As long as Zhao Xuanji can't help but come out, then when we kill Li Chen, my enemy will be the first to kill him."

"After Li Chen's death, Zhao Xuanji would have no value in living."

Zhou Xingjia was taken aback.

Despite following Li Yinhu for many years, he never expected that Li Yinhu would become so ruthless in a short period of time.

But when he saw Li Yinhu's eyes, cold to the extreme, he immediately understood that now was not the time for him to be stunned.

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhou Xingjia bowed his head and said.

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Residence.

"The wind picked up."

Zhao Xuanji sat in the main hall, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. He listened to the faint shouts of killing outside, a smile playing on his lips.

He was accompanied by Fu Yuzhi.

"Elder, we have received news from Li Yinhu. They have successfully captured Chaoyang Gate. Zhang Bimu has taken over both Zhengyang Gate and Taiping Gate. These three gates are now open, allowing the two thousand elite troops outside the city to enter at any time. Combined with the four thousand troops who have already entered the capital, we now have six thousand soldiers at our disposal, ready to advance towards the imperial palace."

Hearing Fu Yuzhi's words, Zhao Xuanji remained unmoved.

He lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea, saying, "Is that all there is to it"

A light, airy question made Fu Yuzhi frown.

"Does the elder mean there is treachery"and through Baohua Hall and Zhonghe Hall.He didn't know how long he had been running, only that by the time he saw the plaque above the Taihe Palace gate, his lungs were about to burst.Without even ha...
