The next moment, the black cloak was torn apart and blown away by the strong wind that followed.

It also revealed the people inside…

He is dressed in white and has white hair, and is very elegant.

The only thing that spoiled the scene was that a hint of gloom and cruelty appeared on that handsome face.

Chapter 139 Confrontation with Zhang Zifan

“Zhang Zifan, since you dare to stand in front of me, why do you have to be a dog that hides its head and shows its tail?”

With a pointed motion of the Zixiao Sword, Li Changping’s questioning voice, filled with inner strength, spread throughout the battlefield.

For a while.

Everyone’s eyes were attracted by the silver-haired figure.

But there were also many people who looked in disbelief.

“This is… Zhang Tianshi from Mount Longhu? How dare he!”

“Yes, it is indeed him, Zhang Zifan! He actually defected to the Liao Kingdom.”

“So, Li Xingyun also…”

“Based on the friendship between those two, I’m afraid he also has a close relationship with Mobei.”

“How hateful! It turns out that the princes of the Central Plains have already reached a cooperation and want to put our Qi Kingdom to death!”

……

Heated discussions sounded behind him.

Li Changping remained unmoved, still staring calmly at Zhang Zifan with a cold smile on his lips.

“You and your son are really like this… You talk a lot of moral words, but you do dirty things. What peace talks? Don’t you just want me to give up Fengxiang and make this irreparable mistake?”

“If you really care about the people of Qi, you should do this!”

At this point, Zhang Zifan just gave it a go.

The dark and panicked look on his face disappeared, and he pointed with his folding fan:

“In this chaotic world, the streets are full of starving people, and corpses are strewn across the fields. The people are starving and don’t even know if they will have food tomorrow. How can they care about the survival of the Tang Dynasty and the Qi Kingdom?”

“You who are in high positions only care about power and profit, and don’t care about the lives of the people. How can you feel the pain of losing your country? The people who created this situation are either ambitious or you who go against the will of heaven!”

“The outcome of Fengxiang is now decided! The Liao Kingdom has 100,000 cavalrymen on the battlefield. Do you still want to go against the will of heaven and let the Qi Kingdom’s soldiers and civilians die with you?”

A series of questions made all the Qi soldiers lower their heads.

Zhang Zifan was right, there was no chance of winning this game…

Even though the person in front of them was the invincible Li Changping.

The difference in numbers was such that a single spit from each of them could drown them.

People like us are like raindrops blending into the sea, without causing any waves.

For a while.

Li Changping felt countless gazes falling on his back.

There may be worries, expectations, or fears…

In short, Zhang Zifan’s words could easily shake the morale of the troops.

In front of them are powerful opponents that are impossible to defeat, and behind them are their wives and children waiting for them.

In particular, the promise made by Yelu Abaoji really moved the Qi army.

They are not afraid of dying in battle, but they are afraid that after their death, their families will be retaliated and ravaged by Mobei!

A confident smile appeared on Zhang Zifan’s lips.

He was very sure that his words had an effect on Qi Jun.

Just from those suspicious eyes, one can see Li Changping’s difficult situation.

Been waiting for a long time.

Today I am finally invincible.

Whether he gave up Fengxiang or fought stubbornly, he would lose the support of the people of Qi.

And in contrast to his incompetence, I am the one who protects Fengxiang…

“Going against heaven? Haha… You are wrong. I have always been following heaven’s will. It’s just that your heaven is called Li Chunfeng, while mine is called Li Changping!”

Shaking his head, Li Changping did not turn around, but glanced slightly and continued:

“Everyone, you have heard what Master Zhang said!”

“Today, some do not want to fight anymore, some want to protect their families, and some are afraid… You can all take off your armor, put down your weapons, return to the city and become civilians.”

“Uh……”

This statement shocked everyone.

They were prepared to surrender the city and to die.

But I didn’t expect Li Changping to say that.

Incarnate as the people?

That is to say…

From this moment on, they no longer have to bear this huge pressure and can go back to reunite with their wives and children?

No matter whether they win or lose this battle, death will not come to them?

Thinking of this, several people have already placed their hands on the silk armor around their waists.

Yelu Abaoji said.

Even if you enter the city, you will not harm anyone. You can avoid the disaster by disguising yourself as a civilian!

And now, His Highness has also given the order to allow them to leave.

This is a hopeless battle. If we don’t leave now, when will we leave?

Chapter 140: A Solitary Sword

When the sound of armor peeling came…

Li Maozhen suddenly closed his eyes, but he knew that Li Changping was preparing to surrender the city…

Although there is some disappointment, there is more understanding.

With just a few words, Zhang Zifan had already broken the morale of the army.

If we force them to continue fighting, some of them might even become disloyal.

This battle cannot be won…

Rather than resisting stubbornly, it is better to surrender early and minimize the losses.

The Qi Kingdom has been destroyed, so it’s time for me to go out and take a look…

For some reason, Li Maozhen suddenly felt discouraged.

I just felt that the young man who talked about his ideals and had his eyes on the stars when he first saw me had disappeared.

Even this man who created miracles did not think that he could win this battle, so there was really no chance at all…

Li Maozhen silently raised the blood jade flute in his hand, his eyes full of reluctance, but he still handed it over.

Jiu Tian Sheng Ji also looked depressed.

Each of them held their musical instrument and lowered their heads in a daze.

As people who have lived in Huanyinfang since childhood, they only know to obey the orders of the Empress and King Qi, and have no plans for their future life.

Now that the Qi State is destroyed, I don’t know where to go?

On the battlefield, only Zhang Zifan laughed.

“It seems that Your Highness has thought it through… If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?”

“Hmph! You are just a barking dog. You set up this situation for me, didn’t you? This matter is all because of me, and has nothing to do with the soldiers and civilians of Qi. Let me test this sword today to see how powerful your Mobei army is.”

The unexpected turn of events made Zhang Zifan turn pale.

The Qi soldiers who were taking off their helmets and armor had their hands frozen in mid-air.

Li Maozhen, who had already handed over the Blood Jade Flute, suddenly stopped and pulled the flute back!

The Nine Heavens Holy Lady behind him also raised her head almost instantly, and several bright eyes fell on Li Changping.

Fanyintian, who was at the front, felt his legs go weak.

“you want……”

Zhang Zifan clenched his fists suddenly, and an ominous premonition hung over his heart.

“Didn’t you say that I, who hold a high position, don’t care about the lives of the people? Since I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I will guard this pass alone today with my sword, to see if your millions of strong troops in Mobei can set foot in Fengxiang?”

Firm and resolute words spread across the battlefield.

The Qi army, who had wanted to take off their armor, immediately felt ashamed.

The figure standing on the top of the city wall also stood up straight in an instant.

But the next second, he was attracted by the extremely sharp Zixiao sword that was emitting a sharp sound.

The Zixiao Sword is the sword of King Qi.

Whether in the hands of Song Wentong or Li Maozhen, it exists to protect the State of Qi.

But now, it has fallen into Li Changping’s hands.

But he is still protecting Qi State.

Even if he didn’t trust anyone, as a member of the Qi army, how could he dare to question the approval of Zixiao Sword?

The hand on the armor-plated silk shield tightened it again and again in an instant.

A pair of eyes gradually filled with red, fixed on the Liao army in front of them.

Even the Zixiao Sword and the high-ranking prince were ready to die.

Why should I be afraid of my own worthless life?

Defend the city? No.

Today, I will follow His Highness and rush out of the city. With my passion in my heart, I will see if I can restore the might of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Maozhen handed the flute to one hand.

But she mustered up unprecedented courage and inserted her jade hand into Li Changping’s drooping left palm.

Then slowly tighten your grip.

After looking at that slightly mature profile again, I felt extremely relieved.

That young boy has never changed!

From the beginning to the end, he was the lone walker who silently carried the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Today’s game…

No matter life or death, no matter how many people come from the opposite side.

Even if there is no one behind him, I will stay by his side.

Tell him he is not fighting alone.

Behind him, Fanyintian’s envious and jealous gaze finally fell on Li Maozhen.

The hand holding the pipa retracted its strength again.

He wished he could use a pipa to hit the empress and knock her out so that he could take her place.
