The General's Breaking of Faith (Twenty): Will You Hurt Me? (Page 1/3)

Under the stairs of the coronation ceremony,

"..." Xiong Tingfei looked up, his eyes burning under his armor, "Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"The Crown Prince lacked benevolence and virtue, and was deposed by the late emperor."

"What's the proof?"

"My father's will and the imperial golden seal, they can't be faked."

"Who gave it to you?"

"Of course the late emperor."

"..." The man pondered for a while, then looked up, "Show me."

Li Yao's face darkened, "Xiong Tingfei, don't you think that everyone in my court has to listen to your orders? You confronted the Yue clan but left your post without permission, and even disrupted the coronation ceremony, injuring hundreds of my soldiers. If what happened today gets out, where will the face of my Xiting be, and where will the dignity of the royal family be?"

"The Yue clan has surrendered. Tiele and Nanzhao both fled to the southwest, and the three tribes have been settled." The general said with certainty, "Just as the late emperor wished."

Several old ministers took a breath, and Li Ren, who was in the lead, narrowed his eyes.

He conquered three tribes in one month. How terrifying is Xiong Tingfei's strength?

"Even so, you are not qualified to order me - no, I am already the emperor. If you know your limits today, you should behave like a monarch and a subject. If you insist on contradicting me, don't blame me for not considering the friendship between you and the late emperor!" Li Yao swung his sleeves.

The man held a long sword in his hand, his momentum undiminished: "The late emperor and I have agreed before, you must protect the prince. I have heard about the forcing of the emperor to abdicate...but I was not in the capital when the late emperor passed away. Before I see the edict of succession, I must ensure the safety of the prince." The

blade was pointing upwards: "I want to see the prince."

Li Yao squinted: "Do you think I am the kind of person who would kill my brothers?"

"I dare not make rash judgments."

"My father has already ordered that my eldest brother be imprisoned in the Beiyuan of Luohe River and not allowed to return to the capital."

"Who can testify?"

"Secret guards."?

"...Then will Your Highness do it?" The handsome features were a little sharp and his tone was deep.

The man above was finally angry at his attitude: "Capture him!"

The crescent-shaped blade collided directly with the bluestone ground, creating sparks. Suddenly, dust flew around the tall figure, blocking his vision. The soldiers on the periphery shouted and stabbed at the center, but missed. The man stomped his feet and turned over and flew up. Then his figure fell to the ground like a huge rock. With his own strength, he stepped on countless spear heads below.

The ministers who were kneeling in front of the prince were whispering to each other, and Li Yao's face was ashen. The two sides were deadlocked. Murong Liuli gave Li Ren a look and secretly summoned the archers to climb the towers on all four sides.

"I have no intention of rebelling, otherwise I would not come here alone," the general stood in the center of the spear formation with a frank look. With a slight twist of his feet, he pressed the spear heads on the ground down a little. The cheeks of the soldiers around him flushed, and they were unable to move at all.
