Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 16 I wish to be the King of Chu and fight until my death!

Chapter 16 I wish to be the King of Chu and fight until my death!
At this time,
The melancholy Pei Xingjian disappeared, and the war madman who once made Westerners curse him seemed to have returned.

His fanatical eyes now were extremely hot and crazy.

His eyes were filled with desire for war.

But even such a war madman!
Ten years ago, on that day when countless people in the Eastern Palace Wings had their dreams broken and were filled with despair, he was one of them, and was beaten to collapse by the King of Qin.

then,

He was already an arrogant general under Li Chengdao, and he also had the same eyes longing for war as he does now.

But in the Xuanwu Gate Incident,

Li Chengdao's sister, who he protected, died, followed by his brother, and then the crown prince...
Too many people he was supposed to protect died in his arms and behind his back.

At last,
He was unable to protect anyone and fled from Chang'an in a panic.

After escaping from Chang'an, the nightmare had just begun.

There were more than a thousand remaining soldiers of the Eastern Palace, and they gathered to more than five thousand along the way. Because they had their families with them, their marching speed was not as fast as that of all the soldiers of Yuchi Jingde.

In order to allow the remaining troops of the Eastern Palace to pass smoothly, they organized several wars with Yuchi Jingde along the way.

Perhaps it was a morale issue. The enemy was in high spirits after their successful beheading, while our army’s morale was low.

Or perhaps it was because there were family members of the Eastern Palace soldiers in the army, which restricted their actions.

Or maybe there are other reasons.

In short, they were completely defeated.

More than 5,000 people arrived at Wangshiwan, and only more than 1,000 were left.

This is….
For every five people, four die!

Pei Xingjian will never forget, will never forget...will never forget!
He also... dare not forget!!
along the way,

His lieutenant died protecting him, his soldiers were surrounded and died due to his failed strategy, and even his fiancée died on the way.

Too many people died, and their deaths made the remaining soldiers and generals of the Eastern Palace numb, and also made them feel a soul-stirring tremor towards that invincible figure, the King of Qin.

When the last thousand of them boarded the ship heading for the sea, they were rescued, but also collapsed.

Because they lost so much along the way, they are lucky and unlucky at the same time.

The living must carry the hopes and aspirations of the dead.

They were in chains.

From Chang'an to Wangshiwan,
On this journey of escape,

There are too many people who are about to fall down, grabbing the living and saying to them: I can't walk anymore, please protect His Highness for me.

They agreed with tears in their eyes, carrying the deceased's will.

Live for the dead! Protect the child for the dead!
Even though ten years have passed, Pei Xingjian will never forget that first night after they were safe. The remaining soldiers and generals of the Eastern Palace on dozens of ships were all unable to sleep all night. That night was not even peaceful, as there were sounds of crying everywhere.

Even he cried that day!
Crying so hard!

He no longer dared to look the King of Qin in the eye. Even when facing Yuchi Jingde, who was under the King of Qin's command, he was defeated miserably. How could he be capable of dealing with the King of Qin, who was a more powerful military officer than Yuchi Jingde?
Morale is low.

They were once the pride of the Eastern Palace, but they were also human beings and suffered countless defeats along the way.

Everyone was in despair and collapsed.

Also at this time,

That child...the child they were willing to risk their lives to protect, stayed awake all night and kept wandering around.

he….
He obviously lost more things and loved ones than them.

He should have been the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who ruled by law and order, and should have been loved by everyone in the world, but all of this was ruined by General Tiance.

Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he was above ten thousand people.

After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he was no longer even a member of the royal family, because even if he reached the other side of the ocean, no one there would recognize his royal status.

That child….
I lost more than anyone else.

But he,

But he was the first to cheer up, constantly walking around, comforting them and hugging them.

During those days,

The child seemed no longer the eldest grandson of the emperor who was high above them. He seemed to be within reach and was the salvation of many people's hearts. They knew that they had risked their lives to escort the child all the way, and at the same time they cared about them.

later.

The child proclaimed himself King of Chu.

The King of Chu... The King of Chu...
Just the identity of a prince.

He clearly possessed a more honorable status than this; he was the eldest grandson of the Tang emperor and the last bloodline of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng.

Which identity is not more famous than that of the King of Chu?

But that child,
In order to help these thousand people step out of the shadows and to tell them his will, he was willing to lower his status and become the King of Chu.

at last,

Under the leadership of the child, they slowly got rid of their fear of the King of Qin.

Or rather, they didn't come out.

The reputation of the King of Qin, the power of the King of Qin, the influence of the King of Qin...
These are not things that can be erased by the child's few words.

The King of Qin is still powerful, and they all know that after defeating the Crown Prince, the King of Qin will only be more powerful than he was at the Xuanwu Gate.

But even if the King of Qin is more powerful than he was before, they will not be afraid now.

It’s not that I’m not afraid.

If one person is afraid, a group of people will be afraid too.

They were always afraid of the King of Qin.

But as long as they followed that child, they felt that there was nothing in the world that could scare them.

Following behind the child,
Being his soldiers, they shed their blood for him and fought on the battlefield. Even if it meant death, even if they had to face the King of Qin, they were... fearless!

Amid the passionate and high-spirited declaration, the figure of the King of Chu seemed to appear before Pei Xingjian's eyes again.

Still with her back to him, full of mystery.

The great reputation he had gained over the years made the child glance sideways slightly. The look in his eyes was extremely cold, and the aura he exuded was enough to shock the Western countries.

Whenever Pei Xingjian saw this figure from behind, he felt that he had unlimited power and courage.

He is willing to devote all his enthusiasm to the King of Chu!
I am also willing to offer all my abilities to conquer the Tang Dynasty, so that the generals of the Tang Dynasty and the arrogant King Qin will be afraid, even if only a little, and will be afraid of the King of Chu!

"No, Impossible!!!"

At this moment, seeing the fanatical and confident Pei Xingjian, Commander Wang's face turned grim. It was fear that twisted his expression in an attempt to gain a faint sense of security.

"You can't possibly succeed!"

"He is the King of Qin, the one and only King of Qin throughout the ages! Even that child can't hurt the King of Qin in the slightest!"

"Ten years ago! That kid's father failed, so there's no way he can succeed!!"

Commander Wang knew that now that the boy and his soldiers had returned, there was definitely a slight chance that they could defeat the King of Qin.

Because they knew very well how terrifying and powerful the King of Qin was. If they were not sure of victory, how could they come back?

Can!
He doesn't believe it!

I dare not believe that tiny possibility!
"scold!"

After saying this, Commander Wang drew his sword in anger and rushed towards Pei Xingjian.

Out of the blue!

It was for this reason that he talked so much with Pei Xingjian.

Just take advantage of Pei Xingjian's distraction to kill this man!

Commander Wang knows.
