Chapter 38 Brother!

The night was quiet, but there was an undercurrent in the entire palace, which was more dangerous than ever.

boom!

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, deep in the palace, a cluster of bright fireworks roared and suddenly rose into the sky.

This was like some kind of signal. In an instant, the entire palace screamed for killing, followed closely by countless flames, which quickly spread throughout the palace.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky. Throughout the palace lanes and buildings, many forbidden troops rushed out from nowhere and fought fiercely with each other.

In the darkness, firelight burst out, and as far as the eye could see, there were swords and swords. Blood flowed freely on the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

kill!

The shouts of killing were earth-shattering, and even the earth was shaking. Not only that, the fighting was not limited to the palace, but also in the capital. The sound of intensive horse hooves was like a violent storm, which kept ringing.

Everyone was terrified and shivering in the night.

Looking down from the sky, the core of the entire turmoil, especially from the Jade Dragon Palace to the Taiji Palace, was the most tragic. Countless corpses lay scattered on the ground, and on the piles of corpses, there were abandoned broken weapons and broken halberds everywhere.

"call!"

The strong wind howled, passing over the capital, and finally passed over the Tai Chi Hall, which stood at the highest point.

Although there were shouts of killing outside, and the fire was blazing and extremely intense, at this time, the Tai Chi Hall was like another world, peaceful.

At this moment, the door of the Taiji Palace was open, and it was empty inside. However, there stood a golden throne at the door. The eldest prince was fully clothed in armor, and he was sitting on top of the horse with a golden sword. His eyes were stern, as if Looking ahead like a lion.

Tai Chi Hall is the tallest building in the entire palace. It overlooks the entire palace, and it is as clear as looking at lines in the palm of your hand.

"Your Highness, everything is under our control. The Jade Dragon Palace has suffered heavy losses. I believe the battle will be over soon."

An important court official next to the eldest prince bowed and said with an expression of great respect:

"In addition, everything has been arranged. After dawn, all courtiers will enter the palace to hold a coronation ceremony for His Highness."

"It's not that simple!"

However, the minister hadn't finished speaking yet.

He was interrupted by Li Xuantu.

"ah?"

The minister looked stunned and subconsciously looked at the eldest prince with confusion in his eyes.

"Don't worry, he will definitely get here."

Li Xuantu looked ahead and said calmly.

"he?"

Not only the minister, but also the other people in the East Palace who were serving around him looked astonished, but everyone quickly understood that the "he" the eldest prince was talking about was undoubtedly the third prince.

"However, there are 100,000 forbidden troops here. Everything is under our control, and we have sent a large number of experts."

The confidants in the East Palace on the side seemed to want to explain something.

"He will come."

Li Xuantu said again, his tone unquestionable.

Everyone looked at each other, but Li Xuantu didn't explain too much.

This is a feeling, and it is also an intuition. Although the entire palace is heavily deployed with troops and countless top experts are helping out, and the entire palace has long been like a dragnet, Li Xuantu always believes that his third brother will definitely rush here.

After fighting with him for so long, his father even considered asking his third brother to replace him as the crown prince for the first time in history. If he didn't have this ability, it would be very disappointing.

It was in vain that he regarded his third brother as his lifelong enemy.

Boom, it was so late and so fast, this thought just passed through my mind, several big explosions occurred in the distance, and bursts of shrill screams came from afar.

"kill!"

"Protect His Highness!"

Amid the roar, the bowstrings trembled, and a troop of soldiers and horses, covered in blood, were seen charging toward the Tai Chi Hall.

All around, countless forbidden troops emerged from the darkness, trying to intercept this army. These people are all manpower deployed by the East Palace in advance.

However, these soldiers and horses, covered in blood, were more terrifying than anyone imagined.

This army of hundreds of people was like a sharp sword slashing out, and wherever it passed, all the intercepting soldiers and horses were knocked to pieces.

At the forefront of this army, a young man of less than twenty years old, with a handsome face, wearing armor, and exuding the aura of an emperor's nobleman, was particularly eye-catching.

"It's the third prince! How is that possible?"

Seeing that young figure, the expressions of everyone in the East Palace changed drastically and they were greatly shocked.

The third prince's hair was disheveled at his temples, and his armor and war horses were covered in blood, but his eyes were as dazzling and firm as a torch, making it unforgettable even from a long distance away.

"Third brother, you are indeed here."

At this moment, Li Xuantu, who had been sitting still on the large throne, suddenly stood up slowly, and his loud voice echoed throughout the palace.

At that moment, even the shouts of killing in the palace were much quieter.

"Buzz!"

Almost at the same time, in the distance, on horseback, Li Taiyi also sensed the presence of the eldest prince and looked over.

"Uh-huh!"

The eldest prince waved his hand, and a huge aura of power burst out from him, as if he possessed some kind of magic power. In front of the Taiji Palace, the originally densely packed and countless Imperial Guards immediately separated like waves, leaving a straight passage. .

"Uh-huh!"

Li Taiyi's eyes turned cold, and for just a moment, he clamped the horse's belly steeply, and immediately jumped out, followed closely by hundreds of cavalry.

"boom!"

At the moment when these cavalrymen boarded the edge of Taiji Hall, endless soldiers and horses overlapped from all directions, surrounding Taiji Hall and these hundreds of soldiers and horses like a lonely boat in the vast ocean.

The closer you are to the center of the storm, the calmer this moment becomes.

"You stay here."

Li Taiyi jumped up, flew out from the horse, passed through the void, and landed in front of the Tai Chi Hall.

The two brothers looked at each other, neither of them speaking.

"Brother."

"Third brother."

The two people's eyes collided in the void, faintly igniting countless fires.

“You’ve reached this point, why don’t you give up?”

"Because there is no reason to give up yet."

Li Taiyi's expression was unusually calm.

"You have reached this situation, you don't think you can still compete with me, do you?"

Li Xuantu sneered, his eyes passing over Li Taiyi and landing on the blood-covered soldiers and horses behind him, with a trace of pity in his eyes.

"I am the crown prince appointed by my father and the future emperor. Why do you fight with me?"

Clang!

Before the voice fell, Li Xuantu suddenly pulled out the sword on his waist, and heard a clear dragon roar. The golden sword sank into the high void like a thunderous dragon, but fell straight down with a clang, the tip of the sword facing down. Insert it on the ground in front of Li Xuantu.

"I will give you one last chance to hand over the jade seal. If you surrender now, I can still keep your body intact. You can still be buried in the imperial mausoleum with dignity as a descendant of the royal family. This is my last mercy!"

Li Xuantu's eyes were stern, and his expression was extremely cold.

At this moment, there was no trace of warmth in him, only the coldness of a powerful person remained.

"Brother is really thoughtful. It seems that no matter what I do, you can't leave me a way to survive."

Li Taiyi said lightly, his heart full of sarcasm.

"Third brother, there are no fathers and sons, let alone brothers before the imperial power. Don't you understand this truth? Over the years, you have always been against me, and you have gathered a large number of courtiers and generals around you. What if I keep you alive? Isn’t it a woman’s kindness?”

"As long as you are here, the world will not be peaceful, and my country will not be stable!"

Li Xuantu said calmly, without any emotion in his eyes.

"And from the moment you and I competed for the throne, we were no longer brothers."

"Haha, okay, you are worthy of being the eldest brother. Well said, in front of the throne, what do brothers mean?"

Li Taiyi chuckled softly, his voice full of sarcasm:

"But brother, do you really think you will win?"

Buzz!

Hearing these words, Li Xuantu couldn't help but change his expression slightly, but just for a moment, he returned to his original state, unmoved at all.

"Third brother, saying this will not help your current situation at all. Or are you planning to fight in front of me?"

"clatter!"

While speaking, Li Xuantu took a step forward and took another step forward. At the same time, boom, a huge pressure spread out from his body.

It was obvious that Li Xuantu was not prepared to argue endlessly with Li Taiyi. Since he was unwilling to surrender, he did not mind taking action personally to fully understand the battle for the throne.

"Brother, the one who really needs to be considered is you!"

Li Taiyi shook his head and finally spoke.

"I know that you captured my mother-in-law and controlled a hundred thousand imperial troops. We are all yours both inside and outside the court, but brother, in the fight for the throne, do you really think I only have this means?"

Buzz!

Hearing these words, Li Xuantu's expression darkened and he stopped abruptly.

"Calculate the time, it should be almost"

Li Taiyi raised his head, not looking at Li Xuantu, but in the direction outside the palace.

Bang, as if in response to Li Taiyi, in the night, a thick firework suddenly rushed into the sky from outside the capital and exploded violently.

"kill!"

In just a moment, earth-shattering shouts of killing were heard from the city gates in the four directions of southeast, northwest and southeast. The sound was loud and loud, reaching hundreds of miles away. Even the roof tiles in the palace seemed to be shaking.
