Although he knew that Zhao Chen would return to Chang'an sooner or later.
But Li Tai didn't expect it to be so fast.
It was so fast that he didn't even think about how to deal with Zhao Chen.
In other words, how to counter Zhao Chen's next move.
"Where is Zhao Chen?" Li Tai and Du He asked.
"In the eastern suburbs outside the city, he used the Xuanjia Army to wipe out the darknet base just now."
"I'm probably heading to Chang'an City at the moment."
"Your Highness, now that Your Majesty is not in the city, Zhao Chen still has a killer weapon like the Xuanjia Army in his hand."
"Your Highness, you must save me." Du He and Li Tai said.
Li Tai was panicking.
Hearing Du He shouting in his ear, he became more and more irritable.
"How can I save you? Zhao Chen has always been a lawless master. How can I suppress him?" Li Tai's mentality was a bit explosive.
If he could fight Zhao Chen, he could still make Zhao Chen so arrogant.
That guy never had any scruples in doing anything.
In addition, the emperor and empress were extremely partial, so no one dared to provoke him.
Among all the courtiers, who dares to take the initiative to become an enemy of Zhao Chen?
So what if Li Tai is the prince?
In Zhao Chen's eyes, he is just a more powerful insect.
"Your Highness, Zhao Chen is not afraid of others, he is afraid of the Queen. Your Highness, please help me to beg the Queen."
"Please Queen, please intercede with Zhao Chen and let me go." Du He rushed in front of Li Tai and grabbed his sleeve.
Li Tai looked at Du He, even more annoyed at this moment.
If he, Du He, hadn't sought death on his own and killed Zhao Chen's men, what happened today wouldn't have happened.
The key is that if you want to kill someone, don't leave anyone alive.
Why did someone spread the news to Queen Changsun?
But Du He is also his Li Tai's person.
Moreover, Li Tai did not think that Zhao Chen would let him go if he gave up on Du He.
He just found an excuse to confiscate all the properties under Zhao Chen's command.
"I can only give it a try."
"Also, since Zhao Chen has returned to Chang'an, he will definitely send someone to look for you. You should leave quickly and hide. If this matter is over, I will send someone to tell you the news." Li Tai and Du He said.
Du He nodded repeatedly.
He also knew that he could no longer stay in Chang'an at this moment.
Otherwise, if caught by Zhao Chen, he would probably die at that time.
"Thank you, Your Highness. If this subordinate has a chance to survive, I will definitely kneel down and thank you." Du He and Li Tai handed over their hands and limped away.
Li Tai looked at Du He's back and shook his head.
A chance to survive?
It’s really slim!
How could Zhao Chen let Du He go?
…
"Zhao Da, we sent people to look for him, but there was no trace of Du He." Qin Huaiyu and Zhao Chen said at the gate of Chang'an City.
They searched for a long time in the mountains and forests of the eastern suburbs, but could not find any trace of Du He.
At this moment, I don’t know where Du He has gone.
"Let everyone go back and rest."
"I still said what I said, if Du He doesn't show up, I will confiscate his Du Mansion." Zhao Chen waved his hand and walked into Mingde Gate expressionlessly.
When the soldiers guarding Mingdemen saw Zhao Chen, their faces showed surprise.
Zhao Chen did not go back to his house directly, but walked along the street.
Along the way, the doors of Wangyou Restaurant and Wangyou Steamed Bun Shop were all closed.
The seal of Jingzhao Mansion is affixed to the door.
Even the signboard was smashed to the ground.
Zhao Chen just glanced at it and continued walking forward.
Further ahead is Wangyou Bookstore.
Looking from a distance, no one can be seen outside the Wangyou Bookstore, which used to be bustling every day.
The signboard of Wangyou Bookstore droops on the pavilion, and a few spiders have built webs on it.
When I opened the door of the bookstore, I was greeted by a smell of decay.
It’s just less than a month, but the taste is so strong.
There are books scattered everywhere on the floor.
There are clear footprints on it.
"My boss?"
"Are you back?" A surprised voice came from the door.
Zhao Chen looked back and saw a young man who looked somewhat similar to Huang Zhi standing at the door.
"Who are you?" Zhao Chen was sure that he had never seen the young man in front of him before.
"My boss, I am Huang Hui and Huang Zhi is my father." The young man said to Zhao Chen and took out a letter from his arms.
"My dad said that if my boss comes back from Jiangnan, he will definitely come to the bookstore."
"So I wait outside every day." Huang Hui and Zhao Chen were talking, but tears were already falling.
He has been waiting here for almost a month. Every sunrise and sunset, he is the last person to leave on the street.
I was just worried that I would miss Zhao Chen.
Huang Hui did not say anything to Zhao Chen about avenging his father.
But looking at the boy in front of him who was younger than him, he kept wiping tears in front of him.
In Zhao Chen's heart, he didn't know what to feel at all for a moment.
"Have you eaten?" Zhao Chen and Huang Hui asked with a smile.
Huang Hui shook his head.
He waits here every day and only eats two steamed buns.
Fortunately, I didn't move much, so I was able to hold on for the whole day.
"Let's go, let's find a place to eat first." Zhao Chen put the letter away, patted Huang Hui on the shoulder, and walked out.
…
"Mother, I heard that Zhao Chen is back." Li Tai and Empress Changsun asked in the Li Zheng Palace.
"Qingque's information is also well-informed."
"My mother just heard about it." Empress Changsun nodded.
Li Tai came here again today, and Queen Changsun also understood what he meant.
If it was a trivial matter, Zhao Chen would just laugh it off for her sake.
But this already involves human lives.
