Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 169

Just in case, Li Ke asked Xizuo to keep an eye on Keti, so as not to let him leak the news.

He doesn't need Keti to do anything, as long as he doesn't make any trouble after this coup.

On the second day, Li Ke led his killer army and followed the second prince into the king's palace.

There is no court meeting on weekdays in this Nivalo country, the king only summons his ministers when he has something to do.

The old king was also extremely lazy, he had almost nothing to do except hide in the palace and play with women.

The second prince is responsible for handling all domestic matters.

Therefore, it was really easy for the second prince to mobilize the defenders of the capital.

What they really had to deal with were the hundreds of guards in the palace.

Li Ke wanted to use the team he had on hand to sneak into the palace with the second prince, hijack the king and then order an attack on the palace, and then attack from inside and outside to completely take down the palace.

Such a small coup, in the eyes of Li Ke, who is used to seeing big scenes, is really not a big deal.

The reason they entered the palace this time was that the merchants of the Tang Dynasty presented woolen sweaters to the king.

When the group arrived at the gate of the palace, there were already guards who came to inquire, and the second prince prevaricated with this reason.

It is easy to go in, but it is impossible to carry weapons.These guards searched Li Ke together with the people behind him.

Considering the possibility of a fight, everyone naturally brought guys.

But these people are well-trained killers, and each has a hidden killing weapon. Some have wires wrapped around their waists, and some have hidden daggers in the middle of their shoes.

Naturally, the guards couldn't find these things.

Passing through the gate smoothly, under the leadership of the second prince, a group of people arrived at the main hall.

There are dozens of guards outside the main hall, but in Li Ke's eyes, these people are no different from dead people.

"Father, I have brought a caravan from the Tang Dynasty. They want to present treasures to my father!"

According to the agreement, the second prince introduced Li Ke and others to the king.

Li Ke and his party bowed one after another to salute the king.

Then, they took out the loads of woolen sweaters.

"Your Majesty, this is a sweater produced by my Tang Dynasty, please accept it!"

Li Ke held the sweater in his hands first, and asked the palace servants to send it up.

The king yawned several times before he took the woolen sweater. He looked at it and said with a smile, "This thing is interesting. How can it be made so lightly?"

"Father, these are the clothes newly made by Tang people, they are warm and comfortable to wear!"

The second prince said anxiously.

Li Ke saw that he was a little nervous, so he nodded quietly behind him to let him relax.

The king had picked up the woolen sweater and made gestures before putting it on again.

"Hmm! Not bad! Hahaha!"

He ostentatiously showed it to everyone: "It's very comfortable to wear!"

He nodded again, and looked at the burden in front of Li Ke.

At this time, he had already left the throne and slowly walked towards Li Ke.

Li Ke's heart agitated, as long as the king was close to him, he could catch the king.

He slowly grabbed the soft sword at his waist, ready to strike at any time.

The king came step by step, Li Ke held his breath, waiting for the opportunity.

The surrounding people are also waiting in full battle, and everyone keeps quiet.

The king finally approached, and he lowered his head to look at the woolen sweater in the burden.

"Hmm! This one is pretty good!"

He finally came over, reaching out to pick clothes from the load.

This is the moment!

Li Ke didn't want to miss this opportunity, he immediately called out "do it", and then stepped forward.

Following his "hands-on", everyone scattered in all directions.

But Li Ke was already close to the king at this time, he pulled out the soft sword at his waist, and killed him in one step.

The king only realized it at this moment, and was frozen in place, before he could yell out.

And Li Ke had already stepped to the king's side, covered the king's mouth and nose with extremely quick movements, and restrained him.

The king is an old man and has no skills. It takes almost no effort for Li Ke to control him.

At the same time, all the killers scattered and rushed towards the guards in the hall.

Their purpose is to quickly deal with the guards in the temple, and place the signal outside the temple to notify people outside to attack.

How fierce are these killers?In a short while, all the guards in the palace were eliminated.

Li Ke had already grabbed the king and pulled him deep into the hall.

"You...what are you going to do?"

The king was very panicked at this moment, and when Li Ke let go of his mouth and nose, he cried out in panic.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, I think this is the last time someone will call you that!"

Li Ke smiled lightly.

"You... you want... Nidu, how dare you collude with outsiders to kill your father and seize power!"

The king glared at the second prince.

The second prince was a little timid, but he didn't back down: "Father, the Tubo people are about to call, and I did this because of my consideration for my country!"

Li Ke interrupted him: "King, the second prince is not trying to kill you! He just wants to borrow your seal!"

"How are you going?"

The king said angrily.

"You should abdicate when you are old, and enjoy yourself in the palace..."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Anyway, you don't care about the government now, and it doesn't make much difference whether you abdicate or not!"

"you……"

The king glared at the second prince: "You rebellious son, this king will never agree to you!"

"Father! You should be clear, the Tibetans are ambitious, and one day they will kill me, Nipoluo. At that time..."

The second prince tried his best to persuade the king.

But Li Ke didn't bother to talk nonsense anymore, this old thing was obsessed with sex, and he didn't have much courage to think about it.

He pressed the soft sword on the king's neck, and said coldly: "The second prince is soft-hearted, I will not have such a good attitude. If you don't abdicate today, then I can only send you to meet the eldest prince below!"

"Don't...don't..."

The king backed away in fright, and withdrew his neck from the soft sword.

Li Ke continued to press: "Retreat or not?"

"My lord... my lord..."

The king hesitated, and finally bowed his head.

After receiving the edict of abdication, Li Ke ordered the second prince and his guards to guard the king, and rushed out with the killer himself.

Now, the guards outside have forced them over and are charging into the hall.

And the killers were guarding the entrance of the hall, preventing these guards from rushing in.

"Your Highness, the city is already under siege outside, let's defend for a while, these guards will naturally be captured by the army!"

Gu Wu said while fighting.

Li Ke rushed forward, picked up a spear from the ground, and stood at the entrance of the hall.

"Retire, I will guard this hall alone!"

Li Ke screamed loudly, and blocked the door with his gun.

At this time, many guards rushed over, and they were ready to rush in to save the king.

Li Ke swept across with his gun, and drove all these people back with one shot.

These guards looked tall and strong, but they were swept away by Li Ke with one move, and they fell to the ground one after another, retreating and fleeing back.

"Intruder, die!"

Drawing a path with the spear on the ground, Li Ke looked coldly at the people in front of him.
