Chapter Seven, Betrayal

"Hehe, I must commend your awareness of the situation," Li Zhan said with a smile that did not reach his eyes. "If you return to Bianjing now, it will be a dead end for you. Betraying the emperor, I need not remind you of the consequences, do I?"

With such a trump card, Li Zhan is completely indifferent to the identity of the Crown Prince of Da Qi, and is even less afraid of any schemes or conspiracies

Only two definitions were provided for his brain and thinking

The grandeur of the mountains and rivers

The Xihe Corridor is suitable for both agriculture and pastoralism

Li Zhan flicked the sword from Shen Tu Zhong's neck, watching as a patch of crimson appeared on his throat, and could not help but gasp in shock

Shentu Zhong's face turned pale at that moment, and he knelt down on one knee again

Liu Qingxue's pupils rapidly contracted, and her delicate face was filled with astonishment

This is the first time Li Zhan is using the "thought steel seal," so it is inevitable that he feels curious

We are indeed ... ...

Faced with such fierce secret guards, Li Zhan is essentially doomed to die.

Locked in by the steel stamp of thought

He believes that Shentu Zhong has a way to make these people "defect"

As the second, I assisted the Tang Emperor in becoming the greatest ruler, and all those who obstructed the Tang Emperor's progress are my enemies

What happened

Chief, what are you doing?

Where there is grain, there will be a continuous supply of troops

After the shock, a group of secret guards stared at Li Zhan, their fierce intentions fully revealed

However, just as this group of secret guards charged forward, the leader of the secret guards, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly turned his head and shouted angrily

Immediately afterwards, a shocking scene unfolded

unexpectedly trembled and knelt before Li Zhan

a butcher who kills without blinking

Where there is agriculture, there is food

Li Zhan's journey to Xiliang was not a spur-of-the-moment decision

Shentu Zhong displayed a look of gratitude on his face

Just as he awakened in the Golden Luan Hall, he inadvertently bound himself to this "Strongest Empire Development System".

Greetings to His Royal Highness, King Tang

At the same time, I am also dying of curiosity

The Hegemon-King of Western Chu

If it were not for the golden finger, how could Li Zhan be so ostentatious

After all, integrity is something that is meant to be sold

The expression of the chief of the secret guards shifted from fear to confusion, and from confusion to profound awe and obedience

Traveling to such a strange time and space

The beginner's gift pack includes not only 18 pieces of the "Mind Control Seal" but also the "Overlord Physique"

Do not stop, come, just a little bit higher...

These people

How is that possible

One against a hundred

It is certainly not a genuine loyalty

However, Li Zhan did not wish to waste his thoughts and efforts on these secret guards

In the previous second, she was already fantasizing about the feast.

You

However, from the moment they pledged allegiance to King Jin, they betrayed the Emperor

1. I pledge my unwavering loyalty to King Tang, and I shall never betray or doubt him.

The shock in my heart is beyond measure

Li Zhan, on the other hand, pulled aside his clothing to reveal his bronze-colored chest, looking at the "chief of the secret guards" with a smile.

A gleaming knife, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, slashed the throats of several secret guards who raised questions.

With warhorses, one can gallop freely and strike against the Khitan, Tubo, and Uighurs... Even march southward and trample over Bianliang

If grazing is possible, there will be a continuous supply of warhorses

What kind of sorcery did Li Zhan actually use

It is surprising that this group of secret guards has defected at such a critical moment

Everyone stared in astonishment at this scene, letting out bursts of exclamations

Shentu Zhong trembled all over, as if struck by lightning

Okay, I trust you

The leader Shen Tuozhong has expressed his stance, and the other secret guards have also changed their expressions, quickly defecting.

This ... ...

Li Tianci, you are no longer my father, and I am no longer your son. From this day forward, we shall have no further ties. When I return once more, I will undoubtedly lead a million iron cavalry to trample your capital.

Li Zhan no longer took the carriage, but instead rode a horse, gazing into the distance at the imperial city of the Great Qi, Bianjing.

Mother, rest assured, everything is under my control

What is a Great Qi that is isolated and cannot even handle the Dangxiang, Tubo, and Khitan?

He stared intently at Li Zhan, as if in fear of a deity, his body involuntarily trembling.

The dignified leader of the secret guards

The melting snow and glaciers of the Qilian Mountains continuously generate abundant snowmelt, creating numerous oases

The remaining secret guards looked on in horror at the suddenly enraged Shen Tu Zhong

Thank you, King Tang, for not killing

"All of you, stop at once. Why are you not quickly following me to pay your respects to His Highness, King Tang?"

Shentu Zhong is willing to pledge his life to follow King Tang.

Although they were unaware of the sorcery that Li Zhan had cast upon the leader, at this moment, they had only one thought in mind: to save the leader

Although they are only loyal to the emperor

Zhan'er, what on earth is going on?

The ideological stamp did not turn him into a puppet

Dare to despise the Tang King, and you shall die

Oh, King Jin, you actually used secret guards to kill me, you truly hold me in high regard. The humiliation I suffered today, I will repay you tenfold and a hundredfold in the future. However, it is a pity that not only did I survive, but even the secret guards you mobilized have surrendered to me

Thought steel seal, remaining quantity: 17 pieces

However, in other respects, there is no difference from a normal person

He aims to establish his own empire, first by eliminating the Western Xia

Shentu Zhong, upon hearing this, drew his sword with a sharp "clang" and pressed it against his own neck

Upon seeing this, Zhi Yue and Peng Bao did not dare to ask further questions

Whenever Shen Tu Zhong harbors any thoughts of betrayal or doubt, his mind bypasses the process of reasoning and directly presents the above two conclusions

But soon, these secret guards very tactfully knelt down

Concubine Yang looked at Li Zhan approaching and asked with concern

On this day, I will come to take it myself. You cower within the Great Wall, bowing and scraping to foreign tribes, and are utterly unworthy of being the Son of Heaven

"To pledge loyalty unto death? In other words, if I were to cause your death, you would not even blink an eye?"

He aims to establish a true empire, a magnificent empire that will shine for millennia and be unprecedented in the history of mankind

Almost there

They are the imperial guards, the emperor's secret protectors, wielding the power of life and death, granted special authority by the imperial power

If the sovereign wishes for his minister to die, the minister has no choice but to die. Since the Tang Emperor desires my death, how could I dare to refuse

If even the emperor dares to betray, then what does it matter to betray King Jin?

In front of Li Zhan, a line of familiar simplified characters appeared

However, this ... ...

Liangzhou, located on the Hexi Corridor, is desolate yet not barren

Chief, what are you doing

When ! ''

Do not speak of that useless Tang Wang; even the Crown Prince Jin Wang must show them a measure of respect.

As the leader of the secret guards, if one does not possess exceptional skills, how could one have survived until now

One possesses the strength to carry a heavy burden

Li Zhan cast a glance at the group of secret guards behind Shen Tu Zhong and said淡淡的道

In this brief moment

Li Zhan saw that Shen Tuozhong was actually serious and hurriedly used a sword he had picked up to intervene

Ding! Congratulations, host, the ideological branding has been successfully implanted in the target individual

Li Zhan's goal is the Western Xia

Willing to swear to follow King Tang to the death

"Alright, make sure to properly organize your people. I do not wish for any accidents to occur on the way."

In other words, Shentu Zhong will never betray Li Zhan

He wants to give Li Tianci, a person who jokes about him in the capital, a big surprise

Li Zhan did not explain, he merely offered gentle comfort

The longsword in hand remains rigid in midair

The scene before me is truly astonishing

It is merely a waste of a thought stamp

Especially Liu Qingxue

Yang Fei, Liu Qingxue, Zhi Yue, and Peng Bao stared blankly at this scene, rendered speechless.

In another time and space, the Xiongnu rose to prominence, and the Tanguts established the Western Xia state here, dominating the region and flourishing for several hundred years

The previously fierce leader of the secret guards unexpectedly "thudded" to the ground, pushing aside the golden mountain and toppling the jade pillar, kneeling before Li Zhan

Kneeling!
