Chapter 904 Past Life 12

This change by the other side gave those who wanted to climb up an opportunity, and thus the first person to set foot on the imperial city appeared.

Then, the second, the third...

The city gates were finally opened. Yun Yichen left a few people behind to take care of the wounded, while he himself led the way and rushed in.

"kill!"

The shouts echoed through the palace corridors, adding to the morale of the soldiers.

As they approached Xuande Gate, Yun Yichen spotted a figure in the distance. The person was dressed in a bright yellow robe and stood with his hands behind his back in front of Xuande Gate.

Yun Yichen's pupils contracted, and then a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"You dog emperor, do you still think you can escape this calamity? Now that I, Yun Yichen, have returned, I will not let you live."

Thinking to himself, Yun Yichen quickly moved closer.

"How about that? Didn't expect that, did you?"

Yun Yichen looked at the emperor with a half-smile, the sarcasm and self-mockery in his eyes making the emperor very unhappy.

"They are nothing but traitors and rebels; what is there that I cannot foresee?"

The emperor looked at Yun Yichen's face, which inherited his father's handsomeness and his mother's beauty, yet it was a face that made him wish he could destroy it.

Back then, he went to great lengths to keep the princess, but in the end, she still gave birth to that man's child.

And this child was born right under his nose in the Duke's mansion.

His doting and favoritism ultimately led to the massacre of the Duke of Anguo's family, and even Yun Yichen's current situation is a result of his manipulation.

Compared to Yun Yichen's rebellion, the emperor was clearly more concerned about being deceived by Yun Yichen. After all, he was the emperor, the crown prince of the country, and everyone had to defer to him. How could anyone be so audacious?

Yun Yichen glanced at him with his large, innocent eyes. "Traitor? Has Your Majesty forgotten how you killed your father and brother?"

Yun Yichen's words made the emperor shudder. "As expected, he really does know everything."

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. Those who are less skilled naturally have to step down and yield. As for how the living record it, that is for future generations to write."

Yun Yichen had made up his mind to take the capital today. If they dragged things out today and gave the other side time to prolong their lives, then he would never be able to make a move again.

Yun Yichen didn't want to waste any more words with the emperor, so he raised his hand and commanded his men to rush forward.

Just as everyone was about to approach Xuande Gate, a loud bang suddenly rang out, and several people fell to the ground.

The power of the weapon was so terrifying that the crown prince, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed. He looked at his father in disbelief. In all these years, he had never known that their Great Zhou had such a powerful weapon.

"Father, what is this thing? How can it be so powerful?"

The crown prince had been worried about defending the capital, but now that the emperor had this thing, they wouldn't be afraid no matter how many people came from the other side.

The crown prince's eyes held a hint of excitement, and when the emperor turned to look at him, a confident smile appeared in his eyes as well.

"Do you think I became emperor back then? If it weren't for these things, how could my brothers have been so easily eliminated?"

The struggle for the throne among the nine princes was incredibly cruel, yet the emperor could dismiss it so casually, even considering it perfectly justifiable that so many people had died from gunpowder.

Yun Yichen looked at the emperor on Xuande Gate, a smile still lingering in his eyes. But when he looked at his brothers who had been killed or wounded in the explosion, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

"You think we'll win just because we have gunpowder?"

Yun Yichen looked at the emperor, his eyes bloodshot.

"Otherwise what? Since you know about gunpowder, you should know how powerful it is. Yun Yichen, if you kowtow and beg for mercy now, I will definitely spare your life."

The emperor hadn't even officially begun the final battle with his opponent, yet he already seemed confident of victory.

Seeing his arrogance, Yun Yichen couldn't help but laugh.

"Looks like you won't learn your lesson until you see the coffin. Do you still think this is the old days?"

As Yun Yichen spoke, he waved his hand, and two soldiers immediately carried a large box up.

When the emperor saw the large box, he had a bad feeling. When he saw Yun Yichen take out a dark lump from the box, his heart sank.

"Impossible, this is impossible! I hid all the gunpowder in the ancient tomb back then, how could you still have it?"

Looking at the old emperor's panicked appearance, Yun Yichen smiled and said, "Don't you know who brought out the gunpowder back then? Do you really think my father didn't have a backup plan?"

Yun Yichen naturally knew that these gunpowders were all made by the Jin emperor later.

But in this situation, if he tells the truth, he will naturally have no deterrent effect. The best way is to win people's hearts.

The entanglement of that year left a deep impression on the emperor. In that case, bring up his father. This would not only intimidate the other side, but also shake the morale of the army.

“Father, perhaps he is lying to you. Who knows if what he has is gunpowder?”

Lu Youming, who had been completely calm, was afraid that the emperor would be swayed when he saw the emperor's expression.

But the words of outsiders were no match for the ghost in his heart. Back then, they only brought back a few things from the huge tomb. At the time, because the seventh prince insisted that there were only those things, he and his father believed him.

Now that Yun Yichen has produced so much gunpowder, coupled with his deliberate attempts to undermine the emperor, the emperor naturally begins to doubt whether Bai Xu and the others had deceived them back then.

"No, Bai Xu was besieged by me back then. Since he went to steal gunpowder, it means he didn't have any himself."

Suddenly the emperor murmured.

When Yun Yichen heard the emperor say that his father had been besieged and killed by him, his hatred intensified.

"You're such a good actor, can you guarantee that others aren't just putting on an act for you?"

Yun Yichen looked at the emperor with icy eyes. The emperor listened to his words and thought that this was also a possibility.

Thinking about what Lao Qi said, perhaps those treasures really are not just about the elixir of immortality, but also possibly something else.

"Yun Yichen, don't try to deceive your father. Everyone knows your wolfish ambitions. Since you dare to rebel today, I, the Crown Prince, will make sure you never return."

The emperor had clearly lost his ability to make judgments. Lu Youming could not put himself in danger, so he gave an order, and immediately someone lit gunpowder and threw it over.

This time, Yun Yichen was on guard. As soon as Yun Yichen made a move, he ordered his men to retreat and lie down. Sure enough, although the explosives were powerful this time, there were not as many casualties as the first time.

"Let's do it!"

Since the other party had already taken the initiative, Yun Yichen could not show weakness.

Now they have gunpowder, but he has even more. In that case, let's settle this by force!

A soldier received orders, picked up a gunpowder pellet, and threw it out.
