Chapter 1036: Is This Your Gumption for Rebellion?

s voice was like rolling thunder, covering the entire field of over three thousand people, making sure everyone could hear him clearly.A resounding roar from three thousand soldiers answered his words...This is the bottom line of your rebellion

"Step down, Prince!"

Outside the Taimiao Temple, as the palace gates remained stubbornly shut, the rebel army's clamor rose in wave after wave.

Li Yinhu, before the battlefield, stared intently at the tightly closed palace gates, a grin gradually contorting his face.

As soon as he raised his hand, nearly ten thousand rebel soldiers behind him immediately stopped shouting.

Li Yinhu's voice followed.

"Crown Prince, I know you can hear me. Even if you pretend to be deaf and dumb, it's useless."

"When you lectured me in the Xizheng Hall that day, you were so full of vigor and spirit."

"When you sent me to Ta'ihe Hall, you were all-powerful."

But today, you too have today. You cower within the Temple of Heaven. How, do you think that hiding away will let you escape all this

"You can't escape!"

Today is the day I settle the score with you!

Outside the Tai Miao Temple, Su Pingbei arrived at the scene with a large group of people almost simultaneously with Li Yinhu.

As Su Pingbei finished setting up the defense, he also clearly heard every word Li Yinhu said.

"Damn it!"

The Tiger-son of the gate arrived with a hot temper, picked up his bow and arrow, wanting to shoot Li Yinhu. However, he was stopped by his deputy general who held him tightly.

"General, absolutely not! General!"

"Right now, we are in a passive and weak position. The rebels have launched an uprising at major strategic locations and government residences in the capital city. As the saying goes, defense is harder than offense, and it's more difficult to protect than to destroy. A rebel force of only twenty requires us to station at least fifty men for strict defense. Our manpower is severely insufficient."

"What's more, since the Prince hasn't come out yet from outside Tai Temple, starting a war now would put us at a disadvantage. It could even lead to disaster!"

Upon hearing the words of this lieutenant, Su Pingbei was furious despite himself, and had to hold back his anger.

It wasn't just because this lieutenant had been his father's confidante for over a decade, excelling in both combat and strategy. It was also because everything he said was true.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.

Right now, at Taimiao Temple, Su Pingbei doesn't have the qualifications to stand in for Li Chen to face Li Yinhu, nor does he have the qualifications to make any decisions.

Staring intently at Li Yinhu who was a hundred meters away, Su Pingbei's eyes brimmed with murderous intent. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let him enjoy this for now!"

At this very moment, the tightly shut palace gates of Taimiao, which had been silent and motionless all along, creaked open slowly.

Li Yinhu's spirits lifted, and he immediately focused all his attention on the area beyond the palace gate.

Not just Li Yinhu, everyone at the scene turned to look.

The palace gate opened, but instead of thousands of soldiers and horses, there were only two figures standing before the gate, one after the other.

Li Chen in the front, with a handsome face and a magnificent appearance. He wore a bright red wedding robe, looking festive, but he seemed out of place amidst the bleak surroundings.

Behind Li Chen was Sanzang, slightly bowing with a hunched back.

The palace gates were fully open, and Li Chen also walked out of the Taimiao.

Li Yinhu narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Chen, his face gradually becoming contorted.

"I thought you were going to be a turtle your whole life."

Li Chen glanced at Li Yinhu calmly.

At this moment, Li Chen had guards around him, totaling just over two thousand including those brought by Su Pingbei. However, Li Yinhǔ's forces had already gathered over ten thousand.

Li Yin rode a white horse, with more than ten thousand elite soldiers behind him, his presence was awe-inspiring.

And Li Chen, brought only three treasures with him. Those two thousand guards, compared to the ten thousand rebel troops, seemed lonely and desolate.

"Is this the confidence you have to rebel" Li Chen said softly.

Li Yinhu's face darkened.

Li Chen's composure was completely different from what he had imagined.

He thought Li Chen should be flustered, at least anxious, right now. But the calmness in front of him made him extremely uncomfortable.es, Li Chen said, "Because this palace can feel your killing intent towards this palace.""Ever since the day your brother died, this palace has seen something amiss with you. Everything about you is o...
