At this time, Lin Yang was making rapid progress under Qin Shubao's sparring partner.
Originally, he was just physically excellent, but when it came to specific sword-fighting skills, he was still no match for generals like Qin Qiong who had fought countless battles and conquered the south and north.
However, now, under Qin Qiong's sparring partner, although he still cannot be called a master, he has mastered some basic skills.
In Lin Yang's hands, basic knife techniques such as slashing, chopping, smashing, and thrusting were unleashed to unleash tremendous power.
“Brother Shubao, you are a talented man, so why can’t you see the situation clearly? The King of Qin is rebellious and has defied his superiors. Now that his plan has failed, why don’t you surrender?” Lin Yang advised.
To be honest, Lin Yang really liked characters like Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin from his childhood stories.
I used to be quite interested in rankings like the Eighteen Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. But now, under the arrangement of the Land of Reincarnation, we've become rivals. It can only be said that fate is playing tricks on us.
Nevertheless, as Qin Shubao was one of his favorite idols when he was young, Lin Yang felt that he could spare his life if Qin Shubao was willing to surrender.
"Haha, a true man dies when he dies, there's nothing more to say. As for making me betray the King of Qin, let's forget about that." Qin Qiong laughed nonchalantly.
At this moment, he had several wounds on his body. Even his left arm had long been rendered immobile by Lin Yang's horizontal sword strike, and he only had one of his two maces left.
They looked utterly miserable, yet despite this, they showed no sign of surrendering.
"I see that you are incredibly strong, and even your speed is unbelievable. You could say that even Yuwen CD and Li Yuanba back then couldn't compare to you. However, your moves are crude, and you have no experience in fighting, so it's a complete waste."
"Alright then, I will carefully use my golden mace in this battle with you. How much you learn from it depends on your fate. Finally, I hope you can see me off. Compared to a cup of poison or beheading outside the Meridian Gate, it would be better if you did it yourself. Consider this my last request as a general." After saying this, Qin Qiong looked at Lin Yang, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"Alright, after the general's death, I will try my best to take care of the general's family. At that time, I will send them away from Chang'an to live as ordinary people." Lin Yang nodded.
“Alright, Feipeng, watch closely. My mace technique was originally a family tradition, but after more than two hundred battles, large and small, it has evolved into its current form. Its characteristics are…”
He listened to Qin Qiong's words while fighting him.
The match quickly ended after several dozen rounds. By this time, Qin Qiong was so weak that he couldn't even stand up.
"In my youth, I followed the Sui Dynasty generals Lai Huer and Zhang Xutuo, and we fought against the traitors Lu Mingyue and Sun Xuanya. I was even an enemy of Li Mi, the Duke of Wei."
"Later, the Sui Dynasty was defeated, and I surrendered to Li Mi along with the army. Later, together with Yao Jin, I rose up and returned to the Tang Dynasty. As a result, His Majesty assigned me to the command of the Prince of Qin. The Prince of Qin did not look down on me because I was a surrendered general, but instead made me and Yao Jin the commanders of the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry."
"The King of Qin has treated me very well, so there is no way I can surrender. Feipeng, kill me." Qin Qiong said with some sorrow.
"Fine, fine, since Uncle Bao insists, then let me see you off." Lin Yang said somewhat unhappily.
Qin Qiong, also known as Qin Shubao, was one of the eighteen heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, one of the twenty-four meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion, and one of the two gate gods. He died!
At the same time, the instant Qin Qiong died, another soul appeared, along with a fragmented star destiny.
"Indeed. Throughout history, the top generals of every dynasty, even those from low-level worlds without extraordinary powers, possessed the spirit of a general and corresponded with the stars in the sky. This is nothing more than the so-called descent of a destiny star."
"It's a pity that although the quality of the destiny charts is quite good, the quantity is really too small. However, it's barely enough for me to break through." Thinking this, Lin Yang's mood improved a lot.
...
"Your Highness, it's so good to see you're alright." Lin Yang said with a smile, looking at the disheveled Li Jiancheng.
"Good, good, good, this time we owe it all to Feipeng. If it weren't for you, Feipeng, I might not be alive by now," Li Jiancheng said, both relieved and furious.
He was happy because everything was finally alright. He was angry because Li Shimin's actions this time had truly crossed his bottom line.
He was willing to kill his own brothers for that position. Keep in mind, he, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji were all brothers born of the same parents.
"Where is the Prince of Qin?" Li Jiancheng asked coldly. At this moment, he had already sentenced Li Shimin to death in his mind.
Even the way he was addressed changed from Shimin or Second Brother to King of Qin.
"The King of Qin saw the opportunity early and has already gone to the Wude Hall."
The Wude Hall, also known as the Taiji Palace, was where the emperor held grand court assemblies and met with his ministers.
This is also the legendary Golden Palace in folklore. It is said that the emperor's dragon throne is located here.
Therefore, based on Lin Yang's morbid speculation, Li Shimin probably thought that since he had already failed, he wanted to sit on the dragon throne and taste the feeling of being an emperor before he died.
"Where is Father?"
"His Majesty is still on the lake and has not yet come down."
“Then let’s go and welcome Father Emperor. Meanwhile, let’s surround Prince Qin in the Wude Hall for now,” Li Jiancheng said.
...
"Jiancheng, you've arrived. Where is that rebellious son Shimin?" Li Yuan said, somewhat exasperated.
In truth, Li Yuan really did fail this time.
Originally, the plan was to have Li Shimin check and balance Li Jiancheng, but who would have thought that this second son would be so ruthless.
It was truly unexpected that they could turn on you so easily and take action without hesitation.
"Heh, you mean the Prince of Qin? He's in the Hall of Martial Virtue right now," Li Jiancheng sneered. He wasn't stupid; at this point, Li Shimin was still heading to the Hall of Martial Virtue. The reason was obvious.
This can be described as a classic case of being unrepentant to the end. If Li Shimin had surrendered at this point, his fate would most likely have been nothing more than lifelong imprisonment.
After all, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Yuan did not actually die.
