Chapter 1178 It’s Better to Just Die

Of course Li Tai knew Zhao Chen's skills, but when he saw Zhao Chen easily kill a Qianniu Guard, he still couldn't hide the fear in his eyes.

Fortunately, the rest of the Qianniu Guards in front of him did not disperse at this moment, otherwise Li Tai would really be desperate.

On the streets of Pingkangfang, all the surrounding shops were closed.

The streets were full of overturned stalls, and winter melons and fruits rolled to the ground.

The sound of swords clashing was endless, and the ground was littered with bloody corpses.

There are faceless masked men, and there are also Thousand Oxen Guards wearing silver armor. .??.

The people hiding in the room looked at everything on the street in fear, and even their breathing became heavy.

"Who is so worried that he dares to attack the prince here?" From the back of the room facing the street, a commoner asked the people around him with a slightly trembling voice.

"Didn't you hear me just now? It was Zhao Chen!" the person next to him said, his eyes falling on Zhao Chen.

"Zhao Chen? Is he the legendary prince?" The man was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.

"it's him."

"The prince tried every possible means to kill Zhao Chen, but he didn't expect that Zhao Chen would return to Chang'an so quickly."

"I'm afraid something big is going to happen today." The person next to him sighed softly.

"Something big happened?"

"The man outside is the prince, and now the entire city of Chang'an is under his control. No matter how capable Zhao Chen is, he cannot be his opponent." The man looked outside and shook his head.

Everyone in Chang'an City knew that since the emperor personally conquered Goguryeo, the prince had come to take charge and had completely controlled the entire court in his own hands.

Among all the officials in the court, who would dare to say no in front of Li Tai?

Even if the emperor returns to Chang'an, he may not get any benefit from Li Tai.

What's more, it's just Zhao Chen.

Just because he's fighting with Qian Niuwei and hundreds of masked men?

The man absolutely did not believe that these people were capable of dealing with Li Tai.

As long as Qianniuwei persists for a moment, a large army from Chang'an will come to support.

People like Zhao Chen, in front of the army, are just a ragtag group that can be eliminated in one round.

The people around him said nothing.

In fact, the people in Chang'an who were hiding in their rooms to check what was going on outside all knew this.

It's actually not that easy to capture Li Tai in Chang'an.

"Zhao Chen, how did you get into the city?" Li Tai's eyes were a little frightened, but he also knew that with just these Qianniu Guards, they couldn't stop Zhao Chen no matter what.

So what he needs now is to delay.

Drag the army into the city to support you.

At that time, the offensive and defensive forces were reversed, which was Zhao Chen's death.

Zhao Chen looked at Li Tai, his expression as calm as water, and a drop of blood dripped from the blade of the long sword in his hand to the ground.

"Li Tai, I'm going to give the emperor and the empress some face. If you lean over and plead guilty now, I can let you live." Zhao Chen said slowly.

Based on Zhao Chen's own thoughts, of course he was unwilling to let Li Tai go.

But thinking that if he killed Li Tai, the emperor and Empress Changsun would feel extremely uncomfortable even if they didn't say anything about it.

Especially Queen Changsun. When Zhao Chen went to the Zhao Mansion yesterday, Queen Changsun hesitated to speak, which really embarrassed Zhao Chen.

At this moment, Zhao Chen thought that if Li Tai could choose to step back from the brink, he would not necessarily take his life.

When Li Tai heard Zhao Chen tell him to lean over and confess his crime, his expression suddenly darkened.

He leaned over and confessed. Will the emperor let him go when he comes back?

Will all the officials in the court spare Li Tai's life?

Even if he saved one life, he would at least be exiled thousands of miles away in Lingnan.

If you go there, you might as well just die.

.

But now he had to buy time.

"Zhao Chen, I am now leaning down to plead guilty. Can you guarantee that my father and the officials will not kill me?" Li Tai looked at Zhao Chen with a hint of joking on his face.

The dagger was already drawn out of his hand.

There is a dark blue light on the blade of the dagger. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this dagger must be smeared with poison.

"That's their business. I can only guarantee that you won't die for the time being." Zhao Chen noticed Li Tai's small movements, but the expression on his face did not change at all.

"Haha, Zhao Chen, you and I both know very well that when I have reached this point, there is no turning back."

"It would be better to just die than plead guilty."

“Besides, it’s not certain who will win today.”

"I also want to know if you, Zhao Chen, care about your daughter's life." Li Tai said coldly.

Even if he could guess that when Zhao Chen intercepted and killed him, he would definitely send someone to rescue a group of people in Zhao's mansion.

But now as long as the person has not been rescued, he still has time to deal with Zhao Chen.

…

"Hurry up!"

"Everyone rushes to support you. If something happens to the prince, you will all die!"

"Every place outside Pingkangfang should be fenced in now."

"Even if His Highness the Crown Prince is captured by thieves, we will fight to the death to rescue His Highness."

Outside the palace city, groups of soldiers quickly ran towards Pingyaofang's position.

The general behind him was even more ashen-faced.

He kept shouting with the soldiers.

They are all generals promoted by Li Tai and remain absolutely loyal to Li Tai.

They knew better that if something happened to Li Tai today, their lives would be over.

Once the emperor returns to Chang'an, it will be the time for these people to die.

Baiguan

He will not let go of anyone who helps Li Tai cause trouble.

Kong Yingda lost all his shoes.

He had just received the news that Li Tai had been intercepted and killed, and he almost fell off the steps.

Kong Yingda knew very well that once something happened to Li Tai, whether he was dead or alive, Chang'an would be completely plunged into chaos.

And next, the first one to be affected will be Kong Yingda.

As Li Tai's number one follower, Kong Yingda spared no effort to suppress all officials in the court.

If something happens to Li Tai, Kong Yingda will be next.

"General Chen, no matter what, we must save the prince." Kong Yingda looked a little embarrassed and said to the general in front of him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yingda, the student will definitely save the prince." The general and Kong Yingda handed over.

He was originally a student of Kong Yingda, but he had always struggled to make progress in his knowledge.

After that, he abandoned literature and joined martial arts, but he also managed to make a name for himself.

This time, thanks to Kong Yingda's favor, he got a good position in Nanya.

He also knew that if Li Tai was not rescued, all of them who were promoted by Li Tai would not end well.

Kong Yingda was extremely anxious at the moment.

But he also knew that it would take time to support Li Tai. At this moment, he just hoped that Li Tai could last a little longer.

"Mr. Yingda, if something happens to the prince, should we think about our retreat?" Just when Kong Yingda was anxious, the general beside him suddenly spoke.

Kong Yingda was slightly stunned, and then realized what the general meant.

If they go to rescue Li Tai, it's okay if they arrive in time. But if they don't, then are they just going to sit here and kill him?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

"Escape!" Kong Yingda narrowed his eyes slightly and looked sharp.

Looking at the general on the side, he said: "General Chen, you are absolutely right. No matter what the situation is, we need to consider our retreat."
