Chapter 1187 will definitely find a way to save us
Li Tai will never make the same mistake again.
But saying it cold-bloodedly is another mistake.
Can they really watch Wei Zheng's family being killed by Kong Yingda like this?
Even if Wei Zheng himself didn't realize anything was wrong, they could just watch?
Many things are not black and white, nor are they so clear-cut between right and wrong.
No matter what decision they make at this moment, they will always bring regrets to themselves.
"I will not hand Li Tai over." When Qin Huaiyu hesitated, Zhao Chen suddenly expressed his attitude.
Several people were stunned on the spot.
According to their thinking, Zhao Chen would not say that he would just watch something happen to Wei Zheng.
but now……
"I know you are wondering why I don't care so much about Old Wei's life."
"But we all know that if Li Tai goes back, everyone in this yard will not end well."
"Old Wei and you have a close relationship, but I won't trade so many people's lives for him."
"Actually, when I say these words now, I feel selfish. In this yard, there is my wife and my daughter..."
When Zhao Chen said this, he did not continue.
People are selfish.
Zhao Chen is just an ordinary person, and he also has human feelings.
Even though he knew that Wei Zheng might be killed by Kong Yingda because of his failure to show up.
But he has to take the overall situation into consideration.
Do you want Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, and Li Ke to die with you?
Qin Qiong has died in the battle, and the only male in the Qin family will also die with him?
Zhao Chen couldn't do it.
It doesn't matter if it's selfish or if it's afraid of death.
This time, he will not accept Kong Yingda's threat.
"Zhao Da, when I heard what you said, I feel more relieved. When we came here just now, we were still worried, saying that if you were impulsive, you would really trade Li Tai for Mr. Wei's family."
"When the time comes, we won't be able to get out of the city, and we won't be able to run away. We will really be bastards locked in an urn, at our mercy." Cheng Chumo looked much more relaxed.
They were really worried that Zhao Chen would replace Li Tai on impulse.
Even if Kong Yingda kept his word and let Wei Zheng go.
But in Chang'an City, they don't want to go out again.
By then, with so many troops in Li Tai's hands, the entire city of Chang'an will be able to turn over, and there will be people they can't find.
By then, not only Wei Zheng, but also none of them will be alive.
Fortunately, Zhao Chen was not carried away by anger.
The other two people also nodded, and a stone fell in their hearts.
Just thinking about the situation of Wei Zheng's family makes me feel uncomfortable.
"How is the situation outside today?" Zhao Chen asked.
Although he would not agree to Kong Yingda's conditions, he could not just watch Kong Yingda attack Wei Zheng's family.
If possible, we should still try our best to rescue Wei Zheng and others.
"It's still the same as yesterday. No one is allowed in or out of the city gate. People on the street will be interrogated by soldiers at any time if they walk outside."
"The government has also announced that no one is allowed to carry weapons on the streets without permission. Violators will be taken directly to jail."
"Even people walking in groups will be arrested and questioned."
"However, there are too many people in Chang'an, and there are traders from all over the country. They are so tightly controlled, and many people are holding back their anger." Li Ke and Zhao Chen talked about the situation outside.
Nowadays, Chang'an City is under strict control, and the slightest disturbance will lead to people being imprisoned.
The people suffered terribly from this.
Even the soldiers responsible for the interrogation also had emotions in their hearts.
"Can the Beiya Imperial Guards be contacted?" Zhao Chen suddenly asked Cheng Chumo about the situation of the Beiya Imperial Guards.
"We can't get in touch. Now it's hard for us to go out. The Beiya Forbidden Army is surrounded by the Six Guards of Nan Ya and they can't get in at all."
"But I feel that if the old man of our family is here, he should have a unique contact method." Cheng Chumo shook his head. At this moment, he thought of his father Cheng Yaojin who returned to Chang'an with him, but was arrested by Li Tai.
Cheng Yaojin is already in charge of the Beiya Imperial Army, so he should be able to find a way to contact them.
"Let's go to Dali Temple tonight." Zhao Chen nodded and just left this sentence.
…
"Father, they just said that Kong Yingda gave the order."
"Sir, please hand over Li Tai, otherwise our whole family will be executed in three days."
In a remote house in the imperial city, Wei Zheng's family was imprisoned here.
There were heavily armed soldiers at the door.
Wei Shuyu said to his father Wei Zheng with a look of panic on his face.
After all, Wei Shuyu was young. Hearing such news that was related to the life and death of his family, he would inevitably feel extremely scared.
Wei Zheng just nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew.
A look of surprise flashed across Mrs. Pei's face, and she quickly regained her composure. She glanced at her husband and sighed softly in her heart.
"Father, what should we do now?" Wei Shuyu and Wei Zheng asked again.
He originally thought that if Zhao Chen captured Li Tai, everything would be over.
I am still happy about this.
But never would he have imagined that a sudden misfortune would befall his family.
Anyone can know which one is more important in exchange for Li Tai's life.
Wei Shuyu thought that if it were him, he would not agree to such a condition.
But Wei Shuyu is still young and he doesn't want to die yet.
"Have a good rest and don't think about anything." Wei Zheng said lightly, as if the news just now was really just ordinary news.
But how could Wei Shuyu rest quietly at this moment?
When he thought that he only had three days to live, his whole back felt like it was on fire.
It was impossible to sit down peacefully.
"Father, tell me, sir, you will definitely find a way to save us, right?" Wei Shuyu stood in front of Wei Zheng, his eyes unable to hide the fear in his heart.
The only thing he thinks about now is that Zhao Chen will come to rescue them.
Even though Wei Shuyu knew that this hope was extremely slim.
"Shuyu, do you still remember the motto of my Wei family?" Wei Zheng looked at Wei Shuyu and asked suddenly.
Wei Shuyu was stunned for a moment, then a look of shame appeared on his face.
But this was only a moment, and in the blink of an eye, his face was filled with fear again.
"Father, I remember, my son, the descendants of the Wei family will die in literature to remonstrate, and in military to fight to the death!"
"Can……"
"Just remember, my family has received great kindness from His Majesty, and I have nothing to repay. Now that the court is experiencing a great disaster, it is the time for me, Wei Zheng, to repay Your Majesty's kindness."
"Young man Zhao has a broad vision. With him in the Tang Dynasty, I will die in peace. As my son, Shuyu, you should also put the country and the country first."
"Otherwise, do you think we have a chance of survival when Li Tai comes back?" Wei Zheng interrupted Wei Shuyu with a determined look on his face.
Then he looked at his wife Pei beside him: "Madam, I haven't allowed you to enjoy much happiness in this life. In the next life, don't marry me again."
Mrs. Pei looked at Wei Zheng, smiled and shook his head, saying
"You old guy, you have been an official all your life, but your family can't even afford food. If I don't marry you in the next life, I'm afraid you will starve to death early."??
