Chapter 1189 You Can Choose to Refuse
"Zhao Da!"
Outside the prison, Zhao Chen was still thinking about what Dai Zhou had said to him, but Cheng Chumo had already walked out carrying his father Cheng Yaojin on his back.
"Boy Zhao, you are indeed fine!" When Cheng Yaojin saw Zhao Chen, his face suddenly showed joy.
Standing in front of Zhao Chen, he patted his shoulder hard.
"Uncle Cheng!" Zhao Chen saluted with Cheng Yaojin. At this moment, he thought of Qin Qiong who had died in the battle.
"Good boy, I'm just waiting for you to rescue me, but it's not bad here. With Dai Shaoqing taking care of me, everything is very comfortable." Cheng Yaojin smiled and looked at Dai Zhou beside him.
Dai Zhou stood up, held hands with Cheng Yaojin, looked at the sky again, and said: "It's getting late, you should leave early to avoid being bumped into on the road."
"Zhao Chen, I still say what I said, choose the lesser of two evils."
"Everything should be done with the overall situation in mind."
After that, he waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.
"he……"
"Thank you so much tonight, Dai Shaoqing." Zhao Chen and Dai Zhou cupped their hands and nodded silently with Cheng Chu.
Cheng Chumo helped Cheng Yaojin leave.
After leaving the Dali Temple, Cheng Chumo let out a long breath.
He thought that today's rescue would be extremely difficult.
Even if people can be rescued in the end, it won't be so easy.
But now, they rescued their father Cheng Yaojin without even moving a fist or foot.
"Boy Zhao, how are you? I heard that you caught that bastard Li Tai?"
"Go back later and let your Uncle Cheng take care of that kid first." Cheng Yaojin and Zhao Chen said, already gearing up.
Cheng Yaojin hated Li Tai very much.
But it was just hatred, and I just wanted to teach Li Tai a lesson as an elder.
As for the rest, Cheng Yaojin didn't think about it.
but……
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Qin died in battle outside Cangzhou City more than a month ago." Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin and said slowly.
…
Procedure
Yao Jin was very angry.
Li Tai was still sleeping in the woodshed when Cheng Yaojin pulled him out from under the quilt.
"Cheng Yaojin, what do you want to do?" Li Tai was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he saw Cheng Yaojin looking at him angrily, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
The hazy sleepiness was also awakened in an instant.
"What do you want to do?"
"If you weren't the prince, I would beat you to death today, you little bastard." Cheng Yaojin punched the wooden bed next to Li Tai's head.
The wooden bed clanged twice and completely fell into a ball.
Li Tai was so shocked that he gritted his teeth.
Seeing Zhao Chen standing behind Cheng Yaojin again, Li Tai's face turned pale.
He knew that Cheng Chumo was trying to intimidate him at most, but when Zhao Chen came over at this time, Li Tai couldn't help but feel angry.
Li Tai was afraid of Zhao Chen from the bottom of his heart.
The guy in front of me was so ruthless that he didn't care about anyone's feelings at all.
It doesn't matter who he is.
What about myself, the prince?
Back then, his legs were broken in Tai Chi Hall in front of hundreds of officials. He was so humiliated that he couldn't even lift his head.
What about the heirs of Duke Lai?
Just because he killed a worthless businessman, he was beaten to death on the grave.
Li Tai felt that his breathing had become weak, as if someone had pinched his throat, and the feeling of suffocation made his eyes bulge out.
"You... stay away from me!" Li Tai stepped back desperately, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen looked at Li Tai expressionlessly.
He himself had never thought of becoming an enemy of Li Tai. Before, Li Tai frequently used tricks behind his back. After Zhao Chen cracked it, he could only fight back slightly.
Just let Li Tai have a long memory.
but
Since Li Tai got the position of prince, Li Tai has become more and more crazy.
Trying to do whatever it takes to deal with yourself.
Zhao Chen now somewhat understood that Li Tai was afraid that he would steal his crown prince position.
Because the emperor and empress were very good to him, and Zhao Chen himself showed sufficient ability.
This made Li Tai feel extremely crisis.
But just because of this so-called right, Li Tai dealt with Zhao Chen and the people around him again and again.
He even did not hesitate to gamble with the entire Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Chen couldn't understand or accept it.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Chen looked at Li Tai with a calm expression and asked.
Li Tai's face turned pale. .??.
What is he afraid of?
He was afraid that Zhao Chen would risk everything and kill him here.
"Kong Yingda asked me to hand you over, but the condition is the lives of Wei Zheng's family. Do you think I will agree?" Zhao Chen sat down aside and continued to ask Li Tai.
Li Tai looked a little dazed at the moment.
It took a while to understand what Zhao Chen meant by this.
Although his mind was a little confused, Li Tai still knew why Zhao Chen agreed to hand him over.
As for threatening Wei Zheng's life...
If Wei Zheng died, Li Tai's situation would be hundreds of times worse.
Maybe one day he would be killed by the furious Zhao Chen.
There is also Kong Yingda, and even the entire Kong family will be buried with Wei Zheng.
"No... don't agree. Kong Yingda is crazy now. How could he do such a thing?"
"Wei Zheng is an important minister in the court and my father's favorite minister. How can he threaten you with his life?" Li Tai said quickly.
He felt that Zhao Chen was testing him.
So I want to follow what Zhao Chen wants to say.
But Zhao Chen came here today, obviously not for this. <
br>
"Li Tai, you are now in my hands. You must also know that if I want to kill you, it will only be a matter of a thought."
"But I want to give you a chance to live." Zhao Chen pinched Li Tai's collar and said in a deep voice.
Li Tai's whole body was tensed up, and his legs were kicking straight, like a kicking frog.
At this moment, I can't even speak.
"I am going to rescue Wei Zheng and need to use the Beiya Imperial Army, but I heard that the Beiya Imperial Army was surrounded by six of the Nan Ya's sixteen guards."
"And these six guards only obey the orders of you, Li Tai."
"If you want to survive, come with me to the Sixth Guards and declare Kong Yingda treasonous. We will arrest Kong Yingda together with the Bei Ya Forbidden Army."
"Of course, you can choose to refuse." Zhao Chen looked into Li Tai's eyes.
Li Tai did not dare to look at Zhao Chen at all.
Li Tai's fat body was held by Zhao Chen's collar, but he was as helpless as a child.
"Huh...huh...huh-" Li Tai was put down by Zhao Chen, and he didn't have the strength to stand at all, breathing heavily in the air.
"You have one day to think about it tomorrow night. I will ask you again tomorrow night."
"Death or life depends on your answer tomorrow."
"By the way, don't think that the queen will come to rescue you. It's useless. You know my character." Zhao Chen glanced at Li Tai again, then turned and left.
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Li Tai bitterly, locked the door and left.
Li Tai was wrapped in a quilt and looked at the closed door with a look of fear on his face.
It's not like he never thought about asking his mother to save him.
But Li Tai knew better that if Zhao Chen wanted to kill him, no matter who interceded, it would be of no use.
Now there are only two ways in front of him, Li Tai.
One is to commit suicide here now and let Wei Zheng be buried with him.
The second is to follow Zhao Chen's arrangements, and maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.
