"What are your Majesty going to say when you meet the Prince of Lujiang County?"
At the gate of Lujiang City, the emperor and Wei Zheng stood here, looking at the people filing in in front of them.
Wei Zheng asked the emperor.
Wei Zheng was a little worried. After all, it was the child that the emperor watched grow up. If the emperor suddenly became soft-hearted.
Let Li Chengqian return to Chang'an City.
I'm afraid something might happen.
One Li Tai had already thrown Chang'an into chaos, and the war against Goguryeo was even more unprepared.
If Li Chengqian is brought back now, won't Chang'an be turned upside down?
"What did you say?" The emperor was stunned for a moment.
"What can I say? I just came to see him on behalf of the queen." The emperor waved his hand and walked into Lujiang City with an indifferent expression.
Wei Zheng looked at the emperor's back, sighed softly, and chased after him.
…
In Yingzhou City, Wei Ting was already panicking.
Confidants sent him news that Tianzhu Mountain had not responded to their letters.
The people sent to search for Zhao Chen and others also came back to report, saying that they found no trace of Zhao Chen and others.
The two parties seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
This is no small matter.
Wei Ting had heard a lot about Zhao Chen and knew that Zhao Chen was not a simple person.
Zhao Chen and the others disappeared, maybe they went to Tianzhu Mountain.
There was no response from Tianzhu Mountain again, maybe it had been captured by Zhao Chen.
Once Tianzhu Mountain is really captured by Zhao Chen, Wei Ting's end will come.
Can Zhao Chen still ask Li Yuan about himself?
"You go and gather our people from Zhechong Mansion and ambush Zhao Chen's people on the official road."
"As soon as you see Zhao Chen, kill them immediately." Wei Ting became heartbroken and said to his cronies.
The confidant was stunned for a moment, and asked Wei Ting: "Sir, Zhao Chen is your Majesty's most trusted person. If something happens to him in Yingzhou, we..."
"And those academy students are all the children of high-ranking officials in Chang'an."
"Kill them all, how can we explain it to them?"
The confidant is very worried.
Even if they kill one Zhao Chen, they won't be in trouble.
But if all the students in the academy were killed, wouldn't it be equivalent to offending the entire Tang Dynasty?
Even those people will never let them go.
What's the difference between this and going up to die yourself?
Wei Ting was a little hesitant when his confidant said this.
If so many distinguished disciples died here, Wei Ting would never be able to escape his involvement.
"Then let the people from Zhe Chong Mansion kill Zhao Chen and Li Yuan."
"We must never let them enter the city alive." Wei Ting and his cronies ordered.
"Don't worry, sir. If Zhao Chen doesn't die, I will come to see you." The confidant said, turned around and left the room.
Wei Ting looked at the disappearing cronies in front of him, and he didn't feel relaxed at all.
If this matter is not handled well, Wei Ting will be dead.
…
"Sir, according to what you said, if we go back to Yingzhou City now, wouldn't it mean that we are seeking death?"
"Then let's go directly to Lujiang."
"Find Li Yuanji, let my father handle this matter in Yingzhou later." After getting off Tianzhu Mountain, Li Ke chased Zhao Chen and talked to Zhao Chen about his considerations.
In Li Ke's opinion, he knew that Wei Ting would send people to surround him, so he still went to Yingzhou City.
Isn't that a mindless thing?
No matter what, I shouldn't go to Yingzhou again.
"To go to Lujiang, we have to pass through the boundary of Yingzhou. There are only a few roads. How can Wei Ting let us leave easily?"
"Instead of being chased and intercepted by him in the dark, it would be better to capture Wei Ting directly." Zhao Chen said, waving his hand for everyone to get up.
"Zhao Da, there are more than a hundred people coming in front." As soon as everyone stood up, Cheng Chumo ran over quickly.
"I guess they were sent by Wei Ting." Li Ke and Zhao Chen said, looking a little anxious.
Before they were ready, Wei Ting had already sent people to deal with them.
"Retreat to the mountains." Zhao Chen only thought for a moment and then made up his mind.
There are only a dozen people in the academy, and no matter how skilled they are, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen in a head-on battle.
These guys were brought out by themselves, and it is necessary for them to bring them back safely.
Everyone said nothing, turned around and ran towards the forest behind them.
Li Yuan wanted to call for help, but was knocked unconscious by Li Ke's slap.
"Sir, I didn't see anyone. I guess I was discovered." After a while, Wei Ting's cronies led people to the place where Zhao Chen and others were resting.
A Zhechong Mansion soldier dressed as a civilian and his cronies were reporting.
The confidant looked at the woods in front of him, his eyes slightly cold.
He knew that people like Zhao Chen had already discovered people like him.
He also understood that these people were here to kill them.
That's why he ran so fast.
However, running away is not that easy.
"They entered the woods and chased them. They must kill Zhao Chen and Li Yuan."
"Otherwise, we will all die." said the confidant and the soldiers of Zhe Chong Mansion.
"Don't worry, sir, just a dozen of them, can they still be the opponent of a hundred of us?"
"Besides, there are still a few of them who have no skills at all."
"Killing them is easy." His subordinate Zhe Chongfu soldiers laughed.
The confidant said nothing.
If Zhao Chen is so easy to deal with, wouldn't it be possible that all the hundreds of people in Tianzhu Mountain are pigs?
The right time, the right place, the right people, and everything is taken care of.
Was he actually removed by Zhao Chen's leadership?
"Let everyone be careful." The confidants said to the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion.
He waved his hand and asked everyone to move forward.
The soldiers from Zhe Chong Mansion smiled jokingly and walked towards the woods first.
…
The woods are deep and dense, and it doesn't take long before you feel like you've entered a maze.
If the sun's rays above our heads hadn't reflected three or two stars from the leaves, it would have been like a dark night here.
Bai Zhechongfu soldiers walked into the woods cautiously.
Not long after walking, I could no longer find any trace of anyone walking ahead.
It was as if Zhao Chen had suddenly disappeared for more than ten years.
"Sir, the trace has been lost." Zhechong Mansion soldiers and Wei Ting's confidants reported back.
Each of the hundreds of people was armed with a weapon, and many of them had bows and crossbows.
He came here with the intention of killing Zhao Chen.
At this moment, there was no trace of Zhao Chen and the others, and the confidants couldn't help but frown.
Wei Ting told him repeatedly that Zhao Chen must not be underestimated.
This also makes the confidants extremely cautious.
But in front of me, there was no trace of anyone.
I thought that if Zhao Chen returned to Yingzhou City, he would tell the people about Tianzhu Mountain.
He will also die in the hands of the people.
I felt a little anxious in my heart.
"Let people spread out and look for traces of Zhao Chen and the others."
"Be careful, be careful." The confidants and soldiers of Zhe Chong Mansion warned.
"Don't worry, sir. As long as Zhao Chen dares to show up, we can take him down."
"When the time comes to see the Governor, I hope you will give me some kind words." The soldier from Zhe Chong Mansion said with a smile.
He led a group of people to disperse and search for traces of Zhao Chen and others in the dense forest.?
