Chapter 164 I want more than just this!
"Hahahaha." Yuan Tiangang's hoarse and low laughter sounded at the entrance of the Cangbing Valley. All the bad guys who had not left the area knelt on one knee and lowered their heads, waiting for Yuan Tiangang's next instructions.

Yuan Tiangang stood there alone, the wounds on his chest and abdomen had already stopped bleeding. Want to kill him with just a knife? That was really thinking too much. The original knife wound was surrounded by a faint gray-white light, and the powerful internal force directly sealed the wound. As long as he didn't want to die, no one in the world could kill him.

When the rest of the bad guys were kneeling on the spot, only Shangguan Yunque walked forward with a hunched back and a wry smile, rubbing his hands as he walked.

"Marshal, by doing this... won't it make it more difficult for His Highness to restore the Tang Dynasty?" Shangguan Yunque has always been a courageous person, and he is the only one who dares to ask such a question at this time. He is puzzled, and very puzzled, as to what the meaning of the Marshal's doing this is.

"Are you confused?" Yuan Tiangang put his hands behind his back and his voice returned to calm again.

Shangguan Yunque smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, Commander. With your support, Your Highness has conquered Qi and Guanzhong. Liang, Jin and other countries have also made their own arrangements. The unification of the world is within reach. Now that you have let Li Ying go, won't it make it difficult for Your Highness to restore the Tang Dynasty?"

"Although Li Ying is not a legitimate Tang dynasty official, he has developed ambitions to dominate the world under your training. If he goes to Jin or Shu and gets support from one of them, it will be much more difficult for Your Highness to restore the Tang dynasty."

Yuan Tiangang took off his mask, looked up at the sky and said, "Yes, I know that too. But I am unwilling to give up. I have waited for hundreds of years and finally got Li Xingyun. What I want now is not just the restoration of the Tang Dynasty. Just like what Your Highness told me, there is more than just the Tang Dynasty in this world. When the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, all nations came to pay tribute. So why not let all these nations become the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"

"How can Your Highness grow into a true emperor if you have always lived under my shadow? When Emperor Taizong conquered the world, he did not rely on my strength."

"What?" At this time, even Shangguan Yunque couldn't help but dare not continue to speak. The Marshal was crazy. The Marshal was too crazy. The Tang Dynasty hadn't even been revived yet, and the Marshal was already considering expanding the territory? Did the Marshal have such confidence in His Highness?

Shangguan Yunque couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw Yuan Tiangang's somewhat crazy expression. In the past few decades, he rarely saw the Marshal show any emotions, but in the one year since His Highness came out of seclusion, the changes in the Marshal were truly visible to the naked eye.

Yuan Tiangang stood in the darkness, his rotten face beneath the mask full of madness. He was somewhat curious about how His Highness would react when he learned of his death...

……

Chang'an City!
Click...

A loud thunderclap struck, illuminating the slender figure in the study.

The empress in the study room looked at the secret letter in her hand and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What, the bad commander is dead? How is this possible?"

Fan Yintian bowed and said, "Empress, this is the news personally sent by Shangguan Yunque, the captain of the Bad People. It should be true. I just don't know who this Li Ying is and how he can actually kill the Bad Leader."

With Buliang Shuai's strength, who in the world can kill him? Buliang Shuai still vividly remembered the scene of killing Mingdi in Luoyang. He didn't expect that such a master would die at the hands of a traitor.

The empress looked solemn. With the death of the Bad Commander, their camp lost a pillar of support, which would have a significant impact on Nebula's cause.

"Where is the nebula now?" the empress asked with a frown.

Fan Yintian bowed and said, "Your Highness has sent a message this morning, and we will arrive in Chang'an City tonight."

The empress nodded immediately upon hearing this and said, "Very good, when Xingyun arrives, I will discuss with him how to block the news of the death of the bad commander."

At this time, Fan Yintian said with a somewhat grim expression, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this news cannot be blocked. When Shangguan Yunque arrived yesterday, he had already sent the Bad People to issue a hunting order for Li Ying. What he said was that there was a traitor in the Bad People. If this continues, I'm afraid the news of the Bad Leader's death will soon spread throughout the world."

"Damn it!" The empress could not help but yelled, "The death of the Bad Commander is of great importance. How can you make the news public so easily? These idiots!" Seeing the empress getting angry, Fanyin Tianyan quickly said, "The Bad Commander is not either..."

……

Shanzhou, a swamp.

With a plop... a figure fell into the mud. Who else could it be but Li Ying? Although he escaped from the Soldier Hidden Valley, he was seriously injured by a palm strike from the Bad Leader. In addition, the Bad People had been chasing him non-stop for a whole day and night, so he had no chance to rest and heal his wounds. Now he was at the end of his strength.

"I killed the Buliang Commander... I killed Yuan Tiangang..." Li Ying kept repeating with red eyes. He had complicated feelings towards the Buliang Commander. He respected and feared him, but also longed for Yuan Tiangang's care and recognition. But in fact, this was impossible. Even until the last moment, Yuan Tiangang was quite disdainful of him, which made Li Ying a little angry and crazy. But when he stabbed the blade into Yuan Tiangang's body with his own hands, he regretted it.

He was the person who played the role of a father in his life, but he was actually... He was killed by his own hands...

Li Ying forced himself to stand up, his eyes bloodshot, and he kept muttering, "Li Xingyun, it's all Li Xingyun's fault!"

"If it weren't for Li Xingyun, Yuan Tiangang would definitely have chosen me!"

"Li Xingyun, why don't you just die?"

"Li Xingyun, why don't you just die! Ah!"

Li Ying roared towards the sky, then fell into the mud pit again with a plop.

……

Chang'an, night.

Several fast horses appeared under the city of Chang'an.

"Little brother, is this Chang'an City?" Chi Meng put his arm around Li Xingyun's waist and looked at the ancient city gate with some curiosity. It no longer had the grandeur it had during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, it gave people a sense of vicissitudes and war-torn desolation.

"Yes, Chang'an City." Li Xingyun took a breath. After rushing all the way, he finally got back to Chang'an City. Now he had to see how to deal with the difficult problem left by Yuan Tiangang.

"Who broke into our Chang'an City?" At this time, the soldiers guarding the city also discovered the movement outside Chang'an City, and immediately shouted to Li Xingyun and others.

"Li Xingyun!" Li Xingyun shouted loudly. The soldiers on the top of the city wall did not dare to neglect him and immediately brought torches. Although they could not see his face clearly, the eye-catching Longquan sword behind Li Xingyun was an excellent anti-counterfeiting mark. Immediately, a soldier shouted, "It's really His Highness! Open the city gate quickly!"

Click, click... The gate of Chang'an city suddenly opened...
