Great Tang: I Face Off Against Li Er at Xuanwu Gate from the Start

Reborn as Li Jiancheng, with only six hours left before arrows rain down on him at Xuanwu Gate!

My name is Li Cheng, a modern-day workaholic. I close my eyes, open them again, and find myself as Li Jiancheng, the famous good-for-nothing crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Facing Li Er's sharpened butcher's knife and the fierce warriors of the Prince of Qin's residence, I just smile.

"You want to take me on, Second Brother? I've memorized your whole script!"

When Li Er lies in wait at Xuanwu Gate with his bow drawn, waiting for me to walk into his trap,

I pull off a tactical roll, close in with a set of modern combat moves, and pin him to the ground.

The future Heavenly Khan is instantly stunned, struggling beneath me. "Big Brother! What kind of move is that?!"

I lock his throat. "Don't call me Big Brother. This is called a face-off."

The balance of power in the imperial court shifts.

Li Er, you know how to wage war.

But I know how to flip the table!

I sit upon the dragon throne, looking down on the prosperous Tang Dynasty I built with my own hands.

"The golden age you couldn't give us, I'll bring."

"The enemies you dared not fight, I'll take on."

"From now on, this empire bears the surname Li!"
