Chapter 713: Great awakening

Changancheng Imperial Palace.

The duel between Li Ke and Li Tai, the two Great Tang Imperial Princes, began.

All the civil and military officials of Great Qin were present to watch.

Like watching a monkey show.

Such an audience made Li Ke and Li Tai feel somewhat uncomfortable.

They could feel the mockery in the eyes of the Great Qin officials.

Dignified Imperial Princes had now become monkeys being teased.

But there was no other way.

Li Ke betrayed Tang and returned to Qin

They could only perform for others to see.

Li Ke chose a wooden stick; he didn't want to accidentally kill his brother.

And Li Tai chose a single blade and a shield. For no other reason than that the shield could hide his hand.

The duel began!

Li Ke maintained his demeanor, extending the wooden stick with one hand to tap Li Tai's shield. It was a ritualistic gesture to signify the start of contact.

Li Tai suddenly tilted his shield, blocked the wooden stick, and launched the poison dart hidden in his sleeve.

Bang!

The sound of a powerful mechanism spring.

"630" Following closely, a three-inch small dart was nailed into Li Ke's stomach!

"Ah?"

The audience below let out a collective gasp.

No one expected Li Tai to be so shameless. He used a hidden weapon to sneak attack right from the start!

"So insidious!"

"Dueling as brothers and using such dirty tricks. You've lost all the face of the Great Tang!"

"Li Tai, is this your family heritage?"

"Truly inherited the true teachings of Li Er!"

Facing such sarcasm, Li Tai's face turned red.

However, because his skin was thick, it wasn't noticeable.

Taking advantage of Li Ke being hit by the dart, Li Tai didn't wait; he swung his blade and went up to finish him off.

The anger he had been suppressing in his chest also erupted at this moment.

He shouted loudly.

"Die!"

Li Tai had seen clearly just now; that dart had indeed pierced Li Ke's body.

Even if he couldn't kill him, as long as he delayed him a little, the poison would take effect, and he would still die!

He had probably already won!

The smile mixed with anger turned into a ferocious expression on his face.

At this moment.

Li Ke leaned back, took advantage of the momentum to lift his foot, and kicked Li Tai away. Due to the injury in his abdomen, he lacked the strength to follow up and fell backward onto the ground.

Li Tai laughed triumphantly.

"Li Ke, did you think you could win in a martial arts competition? Do you feel your body going numb?

Since you were young, you thought you were both scholarly and martial, looking down on me!

Today, I will tell you with the result that whether in wits or martial arts, you are not my match!"

Li Tai's shameless appearance was met with a chorus of curses.

The most stimulated were Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle.

"Qingque, how did he become like this?"

"Mother, Brother is so shameless, he has even surpassed Father!"

Qin Mu had never wanted to say.

His purpose was to let Empress Zhangsun see this scene with her own eyes today.

"My Lady, Li Tai has only been pretending to be obedient in front of you. He has actually never been obedient." Empress Zhangsun's heart was pierced.

Previously, she heard that Li Tai had arranged for Japanese assassins to assassinate Li Ke.

She still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that in the whole matter, Li Tai might not be the mastermind.

Until now, seeing Li Tai with her own eyes deal such a poisonous blow to Li Ke.

Empress Zhangsun finally understood.

In fact, she had never understood Li Tai. This son was like a stranger, only revealing his blood-stained fangs today!

Li Ke, however, slowly stood up.

"Li Tai, you still have a conscience, not using a poison dart on me. But this kind of small dart cannot hurt me!"

"Not poisoned?"

Li Tai screamed.

He didn't feel at all that he had exposed his own sinister intentions.

According to the rules of the duel, if Li Ke didn't die, he would have to die!

Whether it was exposed or not didn't matter anymore.

"How could it not be poisoned? Are you just putting on a brave front?"

Li Ke picked up the wooden stick, spun it, and knocked the blade and shield out of Li Tai's hands with one strike.

"What do you think?"

Li Tai had never expected this.

He had found three shops and customized three different poison-dart mechanisms.

In the end, he chose the one with the blue-tinted tip, which looked the most poisonous, to carry with him.

If it wasn't poisoned, why was the tip blue?

"Impossible, they took so much of my money, how could they cheat me?"

It seemed Li Tai was truly stimulated.

He thought Changancheng was still the Changancheng of the Great Tang.

Proud as he was, he was unwilling to think that he had been set up by someone else!

Qin Mu couldn't watch anymore.
