Chapter 1128 I Will Invite Him Personally
As for Li Tai, it doesn't matter anymore, Zhao Chen won't let him go.
Even Li Ruoshuang wanted to kill him directly at this moment.
Zhao Chen is already extremely tolerant of Li Tai.
If it weren't for the friendship with the emperor, Li Ruoshuang would not have believed that Zhao Chen would just break Li Tai's legs.
For Zhao Chen, the identity of Prince Li Tai does not make him feel the least bit scared.
On the contrary, Zhao Chen's concern was his friendship with the emperor.
Otherwise, if Li Tai instigated Du He to kill the bookstore owner and clerk, how could he have paid such a simple price?
"Then we must go back. Uncle Cheng and the others will definitely not be able to escape if they go back. We have finished our work here and must go back quickly."
"Besides, Li Tai has to pay a price, right?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
It seemed as if he was just talking about an ordinary thing.
"How are you going to make him pay the price? According to your current status, he should be your biological brother..."
"What kind of brother? My surname is Zhao and his surname is Li, but there is no relationship at all!" Zhao Chen interrupted Li Ruoshuang and said with a smile.
…
"Commander, my subordinates are back!" In Yeon Gaesumun's camp, Huizhen walked into the camp covered in blood.
"How's it going?" Yuengaisuwen looked at Yuengaisuwen and said calmly.
"Report to the commander-in-chief to annihilate all 500 cavalrymen of the Tang Army." Huizhen and Yuengai Suwen replied.
Yeon Gaesumun’s brows relaxed slightly.
"Where is Qin Qiong?" Hou Junji on the side suddenly asked.
"Dead!" Huizhen looked at Hou Junji and said casually.
"died?"
"Didn't I ask you to surrender him?"
"If we recruit him to surrender, it will be a fatal blow to the Tang army. You..."
"Mr. Hou, Qin Qiong said that shrouding a body in horse leather is the best destination for a veteran."
"He chose to die, I admire him." Huizhen looked at Hou Junji and said lightly.
Hou Junji's expression froze. He couldn't tell that Huizhen was mocking him. <
br>
I felt somewhat unhappy in my heart.
He handed over to Yeon Gae Su Wen Gong and left the camp.
"Tch!" Huizhen said disdainfully and looked at Yeon Gaesumun.
"Commander, my subordinates would like to ask the commander to return Qin Qiong's body to the Tang army." Huizhen and Yuengai Suwen said.
Yeon Gaesumun looked at Huizhen and asked, "Why? He is our enemy."
"Although he is an enemy, my subordinates admire his integrity. In addition, returning his body to the Tang army will also show our Goguryeo magnanimity. Furthermore, Qin Qiong's death will definitely shake the hearts of the Tang army."
"It will also be beneficial to our army's future battles." Huizhen and Yeon Gaesumun said.
Yuan Gaisuwen nodded, "You are honest, I will leave this matter to you. Qin Qiong was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. It is a pity that he died here!"
"Thank you, Marshal!" Huizhen saluted and left.
Yeon Gaesumun looked at Huizhen's leaving figure with a smile on his lips.
…
After more than ten days of continuous retreat, the main force of the Tang Dynasty finally retreated to Cangzhou City.
When Li Jing heard the news, he immediately went to the army to meet the emperor.
The emperor was lying on the bed dying, but his eyes were staring at Xu Shiji.
The emperor was speechless now, and his whole face had turned black.
The military officials have said that the emperor can hold on for at most two days under the current situation.
After two days, his life will definitely be lost.
"Your Majesty, how do you feel?" Li Jing asked the emperor in a low voice.
The emperor didn't react at all, just stared at Xu Shiji.
Li Jing hesitated and looked at Xu Shiji.
"Your Majesty, please wait for a moment. I will send someone to find Zhao Chen right now." Xu Shiji said to the emperor.
The emperor then withdrew his gaze and nodded slowly.
nodded.
Close your eyes and fall asleep slowly.
Li Jing was about to talk to Xu Shiji when he pulled him out of the tent.
"Mr. Wei, do you know whether Zhao Chen is alive or dead? If he is still alive, where is he now?"
"I……"
"When the army retreated, His Majesty was already deeply poisoned and in a daze. I had to lie to Your Majesty that Zhao Chen was waiting for Your Majesty in Cangzhou City."
"The reason is that your Majesty can persist here."
"Now that His Majesty has arrived in Cangzhou, if he cannot see Zhao Chen, he will be extremely disappointed."
"But there has been no news about Zhao Chen. Niu Jinda in the transportation team has searched for him many times, but there is no trace of him."
"Mr. Wei, what should I do now?" Xu Shiji sat on the ground with a dejected face, looking at Li Jing in front of him. ??
Xu Shiji was extremely helpless at this moment.
Since the war broke out, he has led the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to fight, but they have repeatedly failed.
Now that the emperor is dying, Qin Qiong leads the army to retreat, and there is no news at this moment.
Xu Shiji felt extremely tired, so tired that it was extremely difficult to breathe.
"Don't you just want to find Zhao Chen? He is indeed in Cangzhou."
"What?"
"Shh!" Li Jing stopped Xu Shiji who was about to shout.
Li Ruoshuang had clearly told him that Zhao Chen didn't want too many people to know that he was still alive.
To prevent Li Tai from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Xu Shiji forcefully opened Li Jing's hand covering his mouth and asked with excitement on his face: "Duke Wei, are you saying that Zhao Chen is still alive and is still here in Cangzhou?"
Xu Shiji told the emperor at that time that Zhao Chen was in Cangzhou, just to comfort the emperor.
I hope the emperor can survive until this time.
But he had no idea where Zhao Chen was.
Even Xu Shiji didn't know at all whether Zhao Chen was alive or dead.
>
But at this moment, Li Jing told himself that Zhao Chen was still alive and in Cangzhou City.
That……
With Zhao Chen's ability, he can definitely save the emperor.
"Yes, here!" Li Jing nodded.
"Quick, take me there. I'll go and invite him personally." Xu Shiji held Li Jing's arm tightly, as if he was afraid that Li Jing would run away.
"Okay, let's go there right now, you..."
"Military advisor!" Before Li Jing finished speaking, he heard someone calling Xu Shiji from behind.
Xu Shiji turned around and saw several soldiers carrying a stretcher.
There was a body covered with white cloth on the stretcher.
Xu Shiji looked at the body and shook violently.
The body that had stood up just now fell to the ground slumped.
"Military advisor!" Everyone exclaimed.
…
"Ruoshuang, please wait for me in the inn. After treating Old Li Tou, we will return to Chang'an." Zhao Chen packed his things and said to Li Ruoshuang.
"Is it okay to just go once?"
"I heard from my father that His Majesty was seriously poisoned and was already dying."
"If necessary, save His Majesty first. If we go back a few days later, it shouldn't be a big problem." Li Ruoshuang and Zhao Chen said.
She thought that as long as the news that Zhao Chen was still alive didn't spread, Li Tai wouldn't do anything.
Returning later would also ensure the emperor's safety.
After all, no matter what, the emperor is Zhao Chen's father.
"It should be no problem. You pay the rent first. It's not easy for them. Give them more." Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang said with a smile, then picked up a bag of medicine and prepared to go out.
As soon as he reached the door of the inn, two people walked towards him.
It was Li Jing and Xu Shiji.
"Father-in-law, military advisor!" Zhao Chen held hands with the two of them.
The two of them stood still in front, their eyes slightly red, as if they had just cried.
