After some selection, Zhu Zhihua selected fifty people including the Heavenly Fire Talisman Saint.
Among them, the one at the level of Talisman Saint is naturally the Skyfire Talisman Saint, and the one at the level of Talisman God is an elder named Zhu Yue.
There are three people at the level of Fu Huang, also three elders, and five Fu Zuns.
There are a total of ten people in the Shinto stage, and their strength in small-scale combat is already very strong.
After all, the Tianhuo clan is a relatively ancient clan. Even though their overall development cannot compare with that of the various empires, the difference in high-end strength is not obvious. Otherwise, they would not have produced masters of Fu Sheng's level.
In addition to the ten masters in the Shinto stage, there are ten people in the Divine Appearance stage, and the remaining thirty are all masters in the Divine Spirit stage.
According to Zhu Zhihua, it is enough to keep only a very small part of the high-end forces in the clan.
Anyway, if we don't use all our strength when we go to the Imperial City this time, we won't be able to help at all and will only be dying.
Putting all your effort into it can actually increase your chances of success.
The Skyfire Clan is already on the verge of being exterminated by the Redfire Clan. If they win this fight, their crisis will be averted.
If they fail, the remaining members of the tribe will move away on their own, thus leaving behind the bloodline of the Tianhuo clan.
Zhu Zhiyan still strongly opposed the decision to move, but Zhu Zhihua persuaded him that helping Li Rushan fight for the throne this time was their last attempt to preserve the glory of their ancestors.
Even if they fail, they have done their best and should not have any regrets.
The remaining members of the Skyfire Clan can leave with peace of mind and rebuild a new settlement. Perhaps a hundred years later, a new and more powerful Skyfire Clan will be born.
It didn't take long for Xue Qing's reply to reach Li Rushan. Just as he said, Xue Qing had already gathered all of Li Rushan's loyal followers and ministers.
Their plan was also implemented and everything was ready, just waiting for Li Rushan and the Tianhuo clan to enter the country.
… … … … …
Compared to Li Rushan's smooth sailing, Li Ruhai's recent days have been somewhat uncomfortable. He has been on the throne for some time, but he can clearly feel that the loyalty of the ministers around him is very low, and many of them only obey his orders reluctantly.
There were even quite a few people who simply were unwilling to be ordered around, which made him very angry.
He couldn't move these people who were unwilling to be ordered around for the time being. These people's power was deeply involved and intertwined, and any move could affect the entire body.
If he chooses to suppress the rebellion by force, these people also have backgrounds in the military, and if a fight really breaks out, it will easily lead to civil unrest, which is definitely not a good thing for him.
Thinking of this, Li Ruhai couldn't help but resent Li Tianyuan even more. If Li Tianyuan was willing to pass the throne to him, he would have taken care of all the relationships for him before passing the throne, and there wouldn't be this situation today.
Li Tianyuan was unwilling to pass on the throne and even had the intention to kill Li Ruhai, forcing Li Ruhai to choose such radical means. Although he obtained the throne, his foundation was the weakest among all the emperors.
Recently, Li Rushan's group of people have become increasingly restless and have begun to take the lead in creating chaos in the court.
There are also rumors among the people that Li Ruhai killed his father to gain power, and that Li Tianyuan is not actually dead, but is just in a state of suspended animation.
At first, when Li Ruhai heard that Li Tianyuan was not dead and was just faking his death, he could still sneer at it. However, as the rumors became more and more, a sense of uneasiness unconsciously arose in his heart.
After all, three people make a tiger, and if more people say it, he can't help but believe it.
"Your Majesty, it's bad. You asked me to check the tomb of the late emperor. There is really something wrong. There is no body of the late emperor in the tomb. There is only a piece of clothing and a tree stump."
Zhong Tao rushed into the harem where Li Ruhai lived with a look of horror on his face and shouted at him.
Li Ruhai now lives in the emperor's area from the prince's area. In the huge courtyard, he is the only one except the servants, so he is not afraid of others hearing Zhong Tao's words.
When Li Ruhai heard Zhong Tao's report, his expression suddenly changed. He said, "What did you say? There is no one in the coffin. Are you sure? "
Zhong Tao nodded in fear and said, "There is no one in the coffin, and the emperor's body is not in it at all.
At first I thought someone might have dug out the late emperor's body, but after a careful inspection of the tomb, I found that the tomb stones were intact, which means that the tomb had not been moved and there was no body inside when the burial took place.
I have asked the mausoleum guards, and they said that no one has ever been to the emperor's mausoleum, let alone moved the tomb."
After hearing what Zhong Tao said, Li Ruhai felt a chill rising from his tailbone and going straight to the back of his head, and goose bumps appeared on his arms.
"How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible.
Those rumors are all nonsense, my father is dead, I have confirmed it with my own hands...with my own eyes!!!
How could he still be alive? If he is still alive, why doesn’t he show up? What is he waiting for!? "
Li Ruhai, who originally thought that he could have an easy life after taking office, has been living under pressure these days and now looks a little hysterical.
He felt as if the whole country was against him. Everything was going wrong. The decrees he issued could not be implemented. Chaos broke out in various places. Now even Li Tianyuan's body was missing. He felt as if he was shrouded in a shadow and was almost driven crazy.
"Zhong Tao, you and Liu Yan, go and find everyone who said that our father is still alive. I want to see where this groundless rumor came from.
You also have to secretly investigate my father's body. I don't believe he is still alive. Someone must be behind this!!!
Get this handled for me immediately, and also call the military personnel to come to me. It seems that the chaos in some places cannot be resolved without the use of force.
I don't believe that I, the king of a country, will be helpless by my subordinates. All those who oppose me must be suppressed. Even if it means destroying half of the country, I will keep this position!!!"
Li Ruhai's face was ferocious and his eyes were full of hysteria.
Zhong Tao, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I obey your command. I will do it right away!!!"
… … … … … … …
Half a month later, outside the border of Lihua City in the Tang Kingdom, a large group of carriages and horses were preparing to enter the pass. Leading the team was a graceful woman.
