Chapter 1,025 Only Then Can We Have a Glimmer of Hope of Living

Zhao Chen had no other ideas. At this moment, he just wanted to end this boring trip to Jiangnan as soon as possible.

It's not impossible to let Li Yuanji live in his own house.

But Li Yuanji has to agree to it.

The emperor himself had to talk to Li Yuanji about this matter.

Zhao Chen didn't have the habit of inviting others to live in his house.

The night was getting darker, Zhao Chen ignored the emperor, felt sleepy, and fell asleep.

…

But there are always people who can't sleep this night.

Wei Ting, the governor of Yingzhou, personally led people from Zhechong Mansion to the Lujiang River to arrest Zhao Chen and others.

Wei Ting knew that he had reached the end of his rope.

If Zhao Chen hadn't brought Li Yuan to the emperor yet, Wei Ting might have had a chance to save his life.

If the emperor already knows about Tianzhu Mountain, then...

"Send the order, after entering Lujiang tomorrow, if you see Zhao Chen and others, shoot them without mercy."

"Everyone around him will be killed by me." Wei Ting and the captain of Zhechong Mansion ordered beside him.

The captain is one of Wei Ting's own.

He understood what Wei Ting meant.

But the captain remembered that the emperor also came to Lujiang this time, and Zhao Chen and others must have gone to find the emperor.

Could it be that if we see the emperor and the others tomorrow, we will annihilate them in one fell swoop.

But that was a sage of the Tang Dynasty, and attacking him would be a capital crime for confiscating his family and exterminating his clan.

"Sir, His Majesty the Emperor..."

"I might as well tell you the truth, if we don't take action, all of us will die."

"And only by killing them can we have a glimmer of hope of living."

"You have been with me for so many years, how have I ever deceived you?" Wei Ting looked at the captain of Zhechong Mansion in front of him with a stern look on his face.

The captain of Zhechong Mansion looked panicked.

He killed the emperor as well. How could he have such courage?

But if he didn't follow Wei Ting's words, Wei Ting would kill him now before the emperor could kill him.

>

"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will definitely notify you." said the captain of Zhe Chong Mansion through gritted teeth.

"If we are lucky enough to survive this time, the Japanese official will definitely seek wealth and honor for you."

"Go down." Wei Ting smiled.

After being slapped and given a sweet date by Wei Ting, the captain left in confusion.

In the tent, Wei Ting looked at the flickering candlelight in front of him, his face full of worry.

He really didn't have any confidence in his heart.

But he had to take the risk again.

The secret of Tianzhu Mountain has been exposed, once the emperor knows about Wei Ting.

All it takes is an imperial edict to make Wei Ting die without a burial place.

At this moment, Wei Ting still has a chance to fight.

If he could take the opportunity to kill the emperor and Zhao Chen, he might even become a hero.

Wei Ting didn't sleep all night. He just stood outside the camp and looked at the moon in the sky.

…

Li Yuanji was unwilling to follow the emperor back to Chang'an.

In Li Yuanji's words, he has become accustomed to today's life.

There are still people around him who he can't let go of.

The emperor was a little unhappy.

The purpose of coming to Jiangnan was to find Li Yuanji and bring him back to Chang'an.

But now, no matter what he said, Li Yuanji just refused to go to Chang'an with him.

The emperor looked at Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen turned his head to the side.

He agreed to let Li Yuanji live in his house, which was already an extremely regressive move.

Zhao Chen really couldn't do it if he wanted him to beg Li Yuanji to return to Chang'an.

"Your Majesty, if you don't leave now, I will take them away now."

"Wei Ting will bring people here soon. By then, we will all

Can't run. "Zhao Chen stood at the door and said expressionlessly to the emperor.

In order to survive, Wei Ting would definitely bring people here to hunt them down.

If they were really surrounded by that time, it would be impossible to escape with just a dozen of them.

"I am here, Wei Ting still dares to do something?" The emperor was a little angry.

He felt that Zhao Chen didn't want to help him persuade Li Yuanji, so he said this.

Besides, the emperor himself is standing here, and Wei Ting, as a minister, dares to attack him?

Zhao Chen looked at the emperor with a sarcastic expression, turned around and left the room.

"You!" the emperor was furious. .??.

The look in Zhao Chen's eyes just now was clearly looking at a fool.

Li Yuanji sat on the stool and said nothing.

The emperor looked at Li Yuanji and was silent for a long time. He took out a token from his arms and said, "If you want to go back and have a look, you can do it at any time."

After saying that, Lao Litou walked out of the room.

When he walked to the door, he looked back at Li Yuanji.

After saying goodbye this time, I don’t know if there will be a chance to see each other again in this life.

Li Yuanji looked at the emperor standing at the door and murmured twice, but never said a word.

…

"Boy Zhao, where are Li Ke and Luo Tong?" After walking out of the village where Li Yuanji was, the emperor announced that there were a few fewer students in the academy.

I can't help but feel a little worried.

I wondered if something happened to a few of them when they were wiping out the Tianzhu bandits?

"Luo Tong went to Youzhou for business, and Li Ke went to Dingzhou to move reinforcements." Zhao Chen turned around and briefly explained to the emperor.

If they go west now, they will definitely encounter Wei Ting and others who are pursuing them.

But if he stayed here, he would also be caught in Wei Ting's trap.

Zhao Chen is not worried about himself, but Lao Litou and the others...

r> "Zhao Da, Wei Ting really brought people here. It is estimated that five hundred people have entered Lujiang City." As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, he saw Cheng Chumo running from a distance.

He was panting, but he was talking about the news he heard from the front.

"Wei Ting really brought someone here." Wei Zheng's expression changed slightly and his eyes fell on Zhao Chen.

Even though the emperor was here, everyone looked at Zhao Chen subconsciously.

"Wei Ting is really courageous. If he brings so many people here, might he even want to take down me?" Old Li Tou had a gloomy face and his eyes fell on Li Yuan.

If it weren't for the friendship between the same clan, Old Li Tou would have killed Li Yuan long ago.

Old Li Tou couldn't figure it out. He was already extremely generous to those who opposed him in the past.

But they have been secretly making trouble for themselves.

It's really abominable.

"Don't show up for now, but we won't be able to hide for long. Even if Li Chengqian doesn't tell us about our movements, Wei Ting can still find out."

"Let's go near the official road to Yingzhou City first. Calculate the time and the reinforcements from Dingzhou should be arriving soon." Zhao Chen told everyone and walked towards the official road.

Stay here and you'll find it soon.

And it can easily bring disaster to the village.

After walking for half a day, a group of people came to the official road between Lujiang and Yingzhou.

It's just that the official road ahead is guarded by soldiers from the Zhechong Mansion. It's not a good idea to force the jam.

The emperor looked at Zhao Chen, actually wanting to ask him how to solve the problem.

Zhao Chen pointed at the nearby forest, making it clear that he wanted to get into the forest and wait for reinforcements.

The emperor was not very happy.

His current idea is to capture Wei Ting and cut him into pieces to calm his inner anger.

Everyone was sitting in the forest and could see the checkpoint ahead from a distance.

Towards evening, the noise of people and horses suddenly came from the official road.
