Tang Dynasty: A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls for Li Er at the Start

Chapter 140 Wen County Boy, It's Time to Call Him "Your Majesty"

At such close range, the crossbow is powerful enough to penetrate armor.

In the blink of an eye, those Turks, along with their horses, fell into pools of blood.

"Hey, move away a bit."

The smell of blood carried on the wind made Wen He feel nauseous, and she told Zhang Wenxiao to step back.

"Young man, you'll get used to it after smelling it a lot."

It was a rare sight to see Wen He in distress, and the riders felt incredibly happy.

So even this little devil has something he's afraid of.

"Really? After a few more wilderness survival experiences, will you be able to get used to it?" Wen He glanced over with a smile.

Zhang Wenxiao couldn't help but shudder.

The remaining hundred riders hurriedly shook their heads and said, "No, no, no!"

Wen He snorted and was about to go check on Li Daozong and Li Yi.

Suddenly he heard a heavy thud, and he turned to look.

Li Yi tumbled off his horse, and Li Daozong pressed his spear against the former's back.

"kill me!"

Li Yi's eyes were bloodshot as he roared at Li Daozong.

The latter snorted and swung his spear at his face.

The beating caused Li Yi to spit out blood, along with several teeth.

"His Highness has ordered you to be captured alive, or I will surely kill you here!"

Li Daozong dismounted, but Li Yi suddenly sprang up and punched him.

Just now on horseback, Li Daozong, wielding a spear, had an advantage over Li Yi, who only had a sword.

But now, if the two get close, his spear becomes useless.

But at this moment!
With a "whoosh," a crossbow bolt whizzed past Li Yi's left side. He was startled and instinctively dodged, but this left him vulnerable.

Upon seeing this, Li Daozong immediately drew his knife and pressed it against Li Yi's neck.

"How pathetic, how laughable!"

Li Yi, who was caught again, suddenly burst into laughter.

His body was tense, and he glared angrily at Li Daozong.

"Li Shimin is tyrannical. Even if I die, I will curse him and the Li Tang dynasty to perish, and may not a single member of the Li family survive!"

With a long howl, he suddenly attacked, grabbing Li Daozong's knife and slashing his own throat with all his might.

Blood splattered, staining the land red.

Li Daozong watched coldly for a while before finally putting away his knife.

"Leave this to us."

He was about to collect Li Yi's body when he heard a voice behind him, but when he turned around, there was no one there.

Who speaks?

"Lower your head!"

A voice filled with gritted teeth came from below. He looked down and saw Wen He's figure.

"Why is there a doll?"

This was the first time Li Daozong had seen Wen He, so he was very surprised. How could there be a child among these hundred riders?

Wen He's lips twitched a few times upon hearing this.

"You're the child! I am the Inspector General of the Hundred Cavalry, the Viscount of Gaoyang County!"

He swore he was not acting out of spite.

Hmm, no!

Upon hearing this, Li Daozong laughed heartily: "So you are the legendary magistrate of Gaoyang County! I've heard so much about you."

He initially looked down on this so-called Hundred Riders.

In his view, they were just a hundred cavalrymen; what use could they possibly be?

But what he just witnessed made his heart pound with fear.

In a short time, they actually captured those Turks.

That's what caused Li Yi to lose his composure, and he took the opportunity to knock him off his horse.

When Li Yi suddenly attacked, it was they who helped distract him; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take him down so easily.

"Not at all, I have long admired Prince Rencheng."

His contemptuous attitude just now caused Wen He's goodwill towards him to drop to zero.

"By the way, I wonder who shot that arrow just now? The timing was absolutely perfect?"

After Li Daozong breathed a sigh of relief, his previous anxiety dissipated.

Seeing the hundred riders collecting the corpses, and having nothing else to do, he inquired about the matter.

Zhang Wenxiao and the others exchanged glances, then their eyes all turned to Wen He. "Ah, I think it's getting late, let's all go back."

Wen He coughed lightly and waved for them to disperse.

So embarrassing.

He intended to kill Li Yi with that arrow.

I aimed straight at his chest, but somehow it missed by so much.

Li Daozong seemed to have guessed it, and smiled as he cupped his hands towards Wen He: "So it's you, little girl. Thank you very much."

"Hehe, you're welcome. Also, please don't call me 'baby'."

Although he looks only ten years old, his inner soul is already in his early twenties.

It's really awkward to be called "baby" like that.

"Okay, baby."

Li Daozong reached out and patted his head, burst into laughter, and mounted his horse.

"You're a nice little boy, I like you very much. In a couple of days I'll invite you to my house for a drink. Oh, no, you're still a baby, you can't drink alcohol yet, you can only eat fruit and drink milk."

Having said that, he spurred his horse and rode away.

Wen He, who was furious, was left behind and roared at him.

"I'll fuck you!"

Zhang Wenxiao and the others were trying their best to suppress their laughter, their faces almost turning pale.

Wen He gritted his teeth and roared.

"What are you laughing at? Get on your horse and go kill the Turks!"

"Yes, yes, hahahaha."

Amidst laughter, the hundred riders rode off triumphantly.

Only a dozen or so corpses were left behind, dumped in the wilderness, where they would soon become food for the wild animals.

When Wenhe's troops were heading towards the Turkic delegation, they encountered Li Junxian, who was returning home.

Seeing their blood-soaked appearance, Wen He knew that he would not have the chance to test the hand grenade.

"Greetings, General Li."

Wen He was somewhat surprised when she learned of Li Junxian's identity.

This man is a famous scapegoat in history, who took a knife for Wu Zetian.

I don't know what his elders were thinking. A perfectly normal grown man, yet he was given the nickname "Fifth Sister".

His title was Duke of Wulian County, which contained the character "Wu".

When the prophecy that "after three generations of the Tang Dynasty, a female ruler named Wu will replace the Li family and rule the world" came true, he was unjustly stabbed.

However, this matter has been highly controversial in later generations. Some people say that it was just a fabrication by Wu Zetian's sister to promote her legitimacy.

However, Li Junxian was indeed dismissed from his post and executed due to Li Shimin's suspicion, and his entire family's property was confiscated.

"Why do you look at me like that, young master?" Li Junxian felt that Wen He's gaze was a bit strange, as if it was regret or pity.

"Ah, General Li, please don't misunderstand. I'm just tired, I didn't mean anything by it."

Wen He chuckled twice and then changed the subject, praising Li Junxian's bravery.

The latter was somewhat embarrassed.

Upon returning to Chang'an, Li Junxian led his men back to Xuanwu Gate.

Wen He also wanted to quit and let Zhang Wenxiao lead the team back to the Forbidden Garden so he could go home and catch up on sleep.

To his surprise, Gao Yue was waiting for him right at the door.

Judging from the situation, Li Shimin must be impatient and wants to hear his report immediately.

"Your Highness summoned me?" Wen He asked after being helped off the horse and regaining her balance.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Gao Yue was looking at him strangely.

Wen He thought there was something on her face, touched it a few times, and found it strange.

"Why are you looking at me like that, high-ranking official?"

“Wenxianzi, you should start addressing His Majesty,” Gao Yue reminded him.

"Oh, right, I should call you Your Majesty."

Wen He then realized what was happening and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin has ascended the throne!
The Tang Dynasty is about to enter a new chapter.

"His Majesty is currently in the Liangyi Hall. Please follow me, County Prince." Gao Yue gestured for him to come, pointing to the carriage not far away.

Wen He chuckled, nodded, and followed him.

And at this time.

Inside the Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin, who had just finished a meeting, sat on the throne for the first time.

But there was no joy on his face, only a chilling aura that sent shivers down the spines of everyone in the hall.
