Now Bailijin is fighting on the front line. Guo Yuan ran away in anger and died in the Yangcheng Palace of Liang Guoqing. Ma Gui also led 100,000 troops to support Baishi City. In the huge Yuting City, there was no one to rely on. Li Chengzhi Became a real loner. When all the eunuchs saw that the Holy Master had fainted, they immediately panicked and were at a loss. After a while, Li Chengzhi slowly opened his eyes and saw a group of servants in the hall scurrying around, like headless flies, looking up to the sky and shouting angrily. : "The dog thief Chen Xiong has ruined my life!"

Then he laughed at himself: "I ascended the throne at the age of sixteen and fought against Liang Guo for nearly twenty years. In the end, I made a wedding dress for others. Now I am really alone and facing a national crisis, but no one can help me solve my problems. Come, tell me. All civil and military officials have come to the palace, I have something to explain."

Not long after, civil and military officials from all over the dynasty gathered in the main hall. It was already known to everyone that Sikong Li's army was pressing down on the border. At this time, everyone was in danger, fearing that once they were killed by Chu's cavalry and entered Yuting City, they would be defeated by Sikong Li's thunderous methods. , he cannot escape death. I don't know why, Li Chengzhi still summoned the ministers at such a critical moment. There was a lot of discussion in the main hall, and everyone was thinking of their own way out.

After a while, Li Chengzhi, who put on a brand-new dragon robe, stepped onto the dragon chair and looked at the civil and military officials of the court. All the officials also raised their heads and looked at Li Chengzhi. The hall was deathly silent, and you could hear a needle drop. The ministers stood motionless, but no one knelt down and saluted. They had different expressions, some were sympathetic, some were gloating about the misfortune, but most of them were terrified of the impending disaster.

Li Chengzhi said coldly: "You are so indifferent and don't kneel down when you see me. Could it be that you are going to rebel?"

No one responded.

Li Chengzhi laughed at himself: "Mr. Guo once said that my fate was against the evil of heaven, and everyone was destined to rebel and abandon their relatives. Now I completely believe it. Forget it, if you don't want to kneel, then don't kneel. Now that Sikong Li is leading his troops to the city, I believe that with the three people in the imperial city Ten thousand defenders, if they encounter the Chu Army God who is said to be invincible in the world, I am afraid that they will not be able to defend it for even a day. Now that the disaster is approaching, I have figured out a lot. No matter what the reason is, Chen Xiong tore up the alliance and turned against him. It’s just that I, the Great Yan Kingdom, am ashamed of my ancestors and the common people. I am a sinner, but all the ministers are innocent. When the Air Force God Si Air Force enters the imperial city, I will personally intercede for you, and I will definitely save your lives. It's not difficult, but in the future, if you want to be an official in the court and hold great power like you do now, it may not be easy for you to live under someone else's roof."

At this time, among the civil servants, an old official came out and asked in a deep voice: "May I ask, Your Majesty, where is General Manager Liu? In the whole country of Yan, only General Manager Liu can compete with Sikong Li."

Li Chengzhi was already disheartened at this moment and smiled bitterly: "I have ordered General Manager Liu to go to Baishi City a few days ago. Now that he is not in the capital, I am afraid I will disappoint Taifu Yang."

Taifu Yang burst into laughter: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I am not disappointed, but very happy!" Then he raised his arms and shouted, "My lords, Baili Jin and Liu Huailiang are not in the court now, and the army of the Air Force God is pressing down on the country. When life and death are at stake, we might as well capture Li Chengzhi alive and hand him over to the king of Chu, and maybe we can find an official position in the Chu court!"

Li Chengzhi laughed angrily and stood up: "Let's see who dares!" He has been in power for many years. Although a disaster is approaching, the imperial power is still there. For a while, the officials who were ready to move did not dare to act rashly. Now the Yan Kingdom has been destroyed. It was a foregone conclusion that it was a good idea to switch to the King of Chu's sect, but once he was labeled as a traitor and a traitor, he was afraid that he would arouse the suspicion of the King of Chu in the future, and no one wanted to take this risk.

Seeing that no one dared to come forward, Taifu Yang said angrily: "A bunch of cowards!" Then he clapped his hands, and the imperial guards who had been bribed with a lot of money broke through the palace gate, stood behind Taifu Yang, and pointed their swords at Li Chengzhi.

The latter knew that he would not escape death today, so he sneered: "Yang Rong, Yang Rong, I have known about your ambition for a long time, but I never expected that you would fall into the hands of an old man like you."

Yang Rong smiled and said: "Successful king and defeated bandit, for the sake of our glory and wealth, please ask the Holy One to lend his head."

The tide is over.

Li Chengzhi stood up, stared at the civil and military officials of the dynasty, straightened his clothes, and said sternly: "The emperor has the emperor's way of death, how can he add a knife and ax to his body, and his head is in a different place, which is not in line with the emperor's etiquette, someone comes, Bring me the poisoned wine!" When no one responded, Li Chengzhi laughed and said, "Why, when I'm dying, I can't even drink a glass of wine!"

Yang Rong said coldly: "Stop being a mother-in-law and suffer a quick death!"

Li Chengzhi took out the white silk that had been prepared. After looking around, he selected the center position under the dragon chair: "This is a very good place! Hang me here, enter through the door, and peek through the window. , I suddenly felt a sense of majesty in the sky, as an emperor, I should be like this!"

Although Yang Rong had objections, Li Chengzhi had accumulated authority for a long time. Although he was about to die, the majesty of the emperor still made people dare not violate the rules.

Ordering his servants to carry the dragon case, Li Chengzhi stepped on it, put his head in the white silk, and gritted his teeth tightly to prevent his tongue from sticking out, which would disgrace the image of the emperor. At this point, the emperor Li Chengzhi hanged himself in the palace hall.

Not long after, Sikong Li rode his horse and stepped on the palace gate. He saw all the officials of the Yan Kingdom kneeling down and waiting in the palace. They felt bad. Yang Rong held up a lacquer box and presented it to Sikong Li like a treasure. He said flatteringly: "I have heard about the name of the Military God for a long time. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. Li Chengzhi was stubborn and was forced to die in the palace by us. Special Cut off his head and offer it to the God of War to show his loyalty."

Sikong Li had no expression on his face, then he turned to the lacquer box and said in a cold voice: "Did you personally cut off King Yan's head?"

Yang Rong stepped forward and said with a smile: "It is the old minister. Although the old minister is old, he is willing to swear allegiance to the King of Chu. Li Chengzhi brought the blame on himself. Death is not a pity. Everyone can kill him. The old minister still has the courage to show his loyalty." , then I cut off his head with my own hands, and I am willing to serve the King of Chu in the future!"

Sikong Li twitched the corner of his mouth, turned over and dismounted, and sighed: "I miss you Li Chengzhi. After all, he is also a tycoon of his generation. He has stood firm against Liang Guo for decades. Unexpectedly, he died at the hands of these little guys and ended up like this." The bleak end of the first place. I have been thinking about getting to know you, and I will definitely seek justice for you today." He put the lacquer box aside and said coldly: "I have always respected King Yan from beginning to end, and I have never thought about it. If you want to take his life, how dare you, the rats, do this? If you want to use the head of King Yan in exchange for glory and wealth, why should I, the great Chu, wait for you and other villains to repeat this!"

After saying this, his whole body's aura changed, and his murderous aura leaked out. Yang Rong suddenly felt bad and wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but Sikong Li waved his hand, and a human head flew out. His face was full of incredible expressions. As Sikong Li kept waving his hands, a head flew out every time. The head was separated from the body, and the entire hall was filled with blood. No one survived!
