Hearing Li Rushan's words, Shadow Talisman Saint's eyes flashed, and then he showed a disdainful expression and said: "Humph, you can't plant anyone among us. If you really planted someone among us, you would have noticed what happened today, and you can't be unprepared.
The old ghost Tian Kui can't protect you for long. After we knock on the city gate, I will fight him myself and see who can protect you!"
Li Rushan stared at Shadow Talisman Saint and said, "Who is the mastermind behind you? How dare you act in the name of my third brother?"
Shadow Talisman Saint looked at Li Rushan and suddenly laughed, saying: "We are not acting in name only. The reason for our action this time, as we said to the public, is to pull you, the patricide and fratricide, off the throne.
This is the order of the Third Prince, not something we just made up."
"Asshole... You are talking nonsense. How could my third brother do such a thing!!!"
Li Rushan didn't believe what Shadow Talisman Saint said at all. He glared at him with his eyes wide open and roared.
"Second brother, this was indeed my idea. I chose to overthrow you just to avenge my father and eldest brother. Why are you so surprised?"
Suddenly, a voice came from not far away, and a man who looked 70% similar to Li Rushan appeared next to the Shadow Talisman Saint and looked towards Li Rushan.
When Li Rushan saw the other person, he felt as if he had seen a ghost.
"Third brother... How could it be... How could it be you...!!!
I didn’t kill my father, don’t you know that!? "
Li Rushan seemed unable to accept what he saw and stood there in a daze.
"Second brother, how could it not be me? I know everything my eldest brother did to get the throne.
You could have given up the throne and fled far away, but you came back for the throne and killed your eldest brother.
I don't believe you are doing this to avenge your father. That old guy didn't behave like a father at all. If I hadn't pretended for so many years that I had no interest in power, he would probably have included me in his plan.
You chose to overthrow your elder brother for the throne that day, so I can also overthrow you for the throne today, but as for the reason, I have to choose a better one.
This way, when I take over the throne, it will be more legitimate, isn't it! ? "
Li Rulin stood beside the Shadow Talisman Saint, looking at Li Rushan on the top of the city, revealing an extremely comfortable smile.
"So... So you are also coveting this position. Is the throne more important to you than me, your brother? "
Li Rushan was somewhat unwilling and began to question.
Li Rulin looked at Li Rushan and said, "Originally, if my father's plan came true, I would be the only beneficiary.
I will not postpone the time of succession to the throne as he thinks, but will directly succeed to the throne according to the regulations.
He had no guard against me at all, so I could take that position naturally without having to put in much effort.
But my elder brother and you did not follow the path set by our father. You fought each other, and in the end, he died while you lived, and you got the throne. How could I, the third prince who had already prepared to succeed the throne, accept this? So I had no choice but to take the throne back myself."
Hearing Li Rulin's words, Li Rushan's face turned pale at first, but he recovered after a moment. He took a deep breath, his expression became calmer, and he looked at Li Rulin and said, "No, you are wrong, do you think you can fool me with what you said just now
It has been less than a year since I took the throne. It is impossible for you to have achieved what you have done.
There is a real planner behind you. It is they who have built up such a big power in Tang Kingdom. You are just a part of the plan, or you should just join this plan.
Let me guess, is it the Mengshan Society that can do all this, or is there another force behind the Mengshan Society... Tianxia League! ? "
Combining the information Ye Li had provided, Li Rushan tentatively expressed his own speculation.
As expected, after Li Rulin heard what Li Rushan said, his expression suddenly became startled, and a look of shock and anger as if everything was seen through appeared on his face.
"How could you possibly...
Humph, I told you this is all my plan. It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not.
It won't be long before the Tang capital is conquered, and you won't be able to sit on the throne of emperor for many days.
After I ascend the throne, I will announce your crimes to the world and let everyone know that I am only seeking revenge for my father and elder brother.
As for the reasons you gave them in the past, I can completely overturn them all. History is always written by the victors anyway."
Li Rulin was so shocked that he almost let the cat out of the bag.
However, he immediately stopped talking and did not admit Li Rushan's speculation.
However, when Li Rushan saw Li Rulin's performance, he naturally became very clear in his mind. It seemed that there was really the Mengshan Society or the Tianxia League behind the scenes pushing it.
However, I don't know what role Li Rulin plays in this. Why, as the third prince of Tang State, would he be willing to work for a gang and even turn against his brother because of it
There were too many doubts that Li Rushan couldn't figure out, but now was not the time to figure these things out. Li Rulin was waiting outside the city with 80,000 people, eyeing the situation covetously.
The troops that just attacked the city have already withdrawn. It is obvious that the siege was actually fake. The other side also understands that a strong attack would only lead to death. The real purpose of the attack was to help the Shadow Talisman Saint assassinate Li Rushan.
"Third brother, no matter why you want to kill me, I still want to tell you that I hope you can give up this plan and return to the palace.
If you want to take this position, I can give it to you in five years, so you don't have to rush.
Regardless of whether you have joined those gangs or not, you don't have to be an enemy of me, your brother. We are a family and we shouldn't scheme against each other."
Apart from the intrigues he had with his eldest brother, Li Rushan had never had any intention of plotting against his third brother. So now that he was asked to fight against him, he was unwilling from the bottom of his heart.
Li Rulin looked at him, sneered, and said, "It's too late to say anything now. My army has already gathered under Tangjing City. What you just said sounded more like begging for mercy to me."
Li Rushan sighed and said, "Third brother, don't you understand that even though you have a lot of people, it is absolutely impossible for you to break through Tangjing City.
Once the guards from other cities gather together, they will be able to attack us sooner or later. By then, the people here won’t be able to hold out for long.”
Hearing Li Rushan's words, Li Rulin laughed and said, "Can the guards of other cities attack us? They should be being chased by the Xuanwu Army now.
If they want to save you, wait until they get here!!!"
