I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Early the next morning.

"Your Majesty, the people on the other side are a bunch of cowards!"

"I've been shouting and cursing here for a whole day and night, but not a single one of them dared to come out."

Seeing Qin Li lead his generals to the front of the formation, Su Chen couldn't help but speak.

"Did they really scream for a whole day and night?"

Qin Li was somewhat incredulous.

My voice isn't hoarse at all.

It probably didn't even take a few hours to call them.

Su Chen scratched his head sheepishly: "His Majesty discovered this, but the other side really is a bunch of cowards."

Qin Li nodded, signaling Su Chen to challenge him to another battle.

Yesterday it was okay to be a coward, but not today.

Su Chen spurred his horse and rode away. When he arrived at the city gate, he was about to clear his throat and start cursing.

But then the city gate not far in front of them suddenly opened with a loud bang.

However, the door was opened, but no one came out.

Looking towards the city wall, it was filled with people.

However, at this moment, it seems that infighting has broken out on the city wall.

Not only were Pei Qingluan, Xiao Xue'er, and Emperor Xuan brought over as hostages, but all the civil and military officials in the city were also brought up to the city wall as hostages.

The civil and military officials were naturally outraged, and many pointed their fingers at Wang Long and cursed him:

"Wang Long, what exactly are you trying to do!"

"From ancient times to the present, no one has ever pushed us out as shields like you!"

"Wang Long, you traitorous scoundrel, surrender now!"

However, the riots caused by the civil and military officials were quickly suppressed by the soldiers.

Wang Long didn't even bother to look at them. He gazed outside the city and said with a cold laugh:

"Traitors and rebels? I clearly remember that just yesterday you were all respectfully addressing me as Your Highness. How could you have changed your minds so quickly? A bunch of opportunists, you deserve to be killed."

The civil and military officials cursed even more fiercely, but after two of them were mercilessly beheaded by the soldiers, the rest of them shut up.

After all, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; you only have one life.

Su Chen's voice came from below the city:

"Wang Long, you brat, why are you opening the city gates? Are you coming out to surrender?"

Wang Long said, "You are not qualified to speak to me. Tell Li Ze to come forward."

"Hey, you traitorous scoundrel!"

Su Chen was furious and was about to continue cursing when several people rushed over from behind.

"Your Majesty, we cannot go any further!"

"If we go any further, we'll be within range of the heavy crossbows on the city walls!"

Several generals offered words of advice to Qin Li.

Qin Li is their backbone; if he were to suffer any injury, it would be a huge loss.

Qin Li ignored everything and went straight to the city gate.

Looking up at Wang Long, Qin Li said, "Now that I've arrived, do you have anything else to say?"

Looking at Qin Li, Wang Long sighed inwardly, "He's so young."

If he were as young as Qin Li, he would have no reason not to achieve great things.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Long forced himself to stand up.

I tried several times, but I still couldn't stand up.

Upon seeing this, Su Chen and the other generals couldn't help but burst into laughter.

How can someone who can't even stand up fight them?

The night owl couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to help you up: "Your Highness, let me help you."

Wang Long pushed him away, but Wang Long gritted his teeth and tried again. In the end, he actually managed to stand up on his own.

He didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point:

"You treacherous villain, the city gates are open. If you don't want your women and officials to die here, enter the city alone!"

Su Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Wang Long, you brat, did you get your head caught in a door or kicked by a donkey? The advantage lies with His Majesty. Why would His Majesty risk his life alone?"

"Your Majesty the Empress, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine, and all ministers, I apologize. Please consider the greater good."

Su Chen cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd on the city wall.

Most people nodded in agreement.

After all, they weren't worth Qin Li risking his life for alone.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred.

One of the men next to Wang Long suddenly lunged at him, grabbing him and trying to throw them both off the city wall.

With walls this high, you'd definitely die if you fell.

Because everything happened so suddenly, no one had time to react, not even Wang Long.

In an instant, their bodies were suspended outside the city wall.

If it weren't for the quick reflexes of the nearby night owl who grabbed Wang Long's legs, the two of them would have fallen together.

When everyone saw who was trying to throw Wang Long down with them, they were shocked.

This person was actually Emperor Xuan.

Why?

Wang Long had half his body outside the city, while Xuan Di had his entire body outside the city. Wang Long's hands were tightly gripping Xuan Di to prevent him from falling, but he couldn't help but question him.

The hatred between him and Emperor Xuan was far less than that between Emperor Xuan and Qin Li.

Why did Emperor Xuan drag him down with him to his death, handing over his great empire to Qin Li?

Emperor Xuan said with a smile:

"Traitorous wretch, how can the throne of Great Zhou fall into your hands!"

After saying that, he hugged Wang Long tightly, preventing the people on the city wall from pulling him up.

There were many people on the city wall, and with everyone working together, the two slowly rose up.

Emperor Xuan panicked and, in desperation, pulled out the jade hairpin that bound his hair and thrust it fiercely into Wang Long's chest.

No matter what, he was determined to kill Wang Long.

This was the only thing he could do.

Wang Long had no choice but to release Emperor Xuan.

Amidst gasps of alarm, Emperor Xuan fell straight down.

Wang Long watched as Xuan Di fell down, and saw the smile on Xuan Di's lips.

Why? Why?

Wang Long didn't understand.

boom!

The reign of an emperor has ended!

Everyone was stunned when they saw the corpses on the ground.

Blood oozed from the back of Emperor Xuan's head.

Emperor Xuan is beyond saving!

"His Majesty?"

Seeing Emperor Xuan fall off the city wall, the generals were at a loss for what to do and looked at Qin Li for advice.

Qin Li merely raised his arm slightly, his gaze never wavering from Emperor Xuan.

Everything is not over yet; we cannot act rashly.

In the end, Wang Long was rescued by everyone working together.

"Wang Long, you traitorous scoundrel, you actually killed the Emperor Emeritus!" someone shouted.

In this way, Wang Long's reputation as a corrupt official is no longer valid.

Wang Long ignored him and only looked at Qin Li outside the city:

"You treacherous scoundrel, if you don't enter the city soon, your empress will be next to die!"

After saying that, Wang Long ordered his men to move Pei Qingluan to the front.

Pei Qingluan offered no resistance whatsoever, which only made Judge Wu and Shadow Snake behind her extremely anxious.

They had to find a way to save Pei Qingluan's life, otherwise they wouldn't be able to live either, and no one would believe that they had betrayed them.

"You wicked scoundrel, why aren't you entering the city yet!" Wang Long shouted.

Before Qin Li could speak, Pei Qingluan said:

"Your Majesty, please do not worry about me. I died a worthy death."

"Even on the verge of death, you're still being stubborn!"

Someone shouted angrily, threatening to throw Pei Qingluan off the city wall.

"If you're going to throw someone, throw me down first!"

Despite her fear, Xiao Xue'er rushed forward like a little calf and hugged Pei Qingluan tightly.

All the civil and military officials could not bear to watch this scene and turned their heads away.

Xiao Yuanlu wanted to save his daughter, but was held back by the crowd.

Seeing that Qin Li remained unmoved, Wang Long's patience ran out.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers were about to throw Pei Qingluan and Xiao Xue'er off the city wall.

Suddenly, several knives reached out and slit the throats of the soldiers.

This unexpected turn of events startled those on the city wall once again.

After seeing who had done it, they were both puzzled and felt it was perfectly reasonable.

Wang Long looked at Wang Bao with a scrutinizing gaze; it was Wang Bao who had made the move.

After rescuing the two women, Wang Bao and his men protected them behind them.

"Brother, things have come to this, aren't you going to turn back?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Long frowned.

The night owl couldn't help but ask, utterly bewildered, "My lord, what are you talking about?"
