Chapter 714

"Li Tai, are you still going to fight? How could I allow you to use that kind of poison dart that breaks the rules?

Even if it wasn't poisoned, you already took advantage by using a hidden weapon."

Li Ke finally understood.

So Li Tai really wanted to use a poison dart to sneak attack and kill him.

It was just that, through some unknown means Qin Mu used in secret, Li Tai's poison dart had been swapped for a non-poisonous one...

Saving his life!

And Li Tai had already collapsed.

How could he have fallen into someone else's trap?

Li Tai now had no time to think about this question.

The fear of death overwhelmed everything.

He knelt and kowtowed to Li Ke.

"Third Brother, spare me! It was all my fault, I shouldn't have harmed you!

However, arranging for the Japanese pirates to assassinate you was that old scoundrel Zhangsun Wuji's idea; I was coerced by him!

Also, this dart today was recommended to me by those bastard wandering knights. My original intention was just to buy one or two weapons for self-preservation!" Li Tai's acting was superb, and he wept bitterly on the spot.

Along the way, he pushed all the responsibility onto others to show his innocence.

Li Tai's performance was despised by everyone.

Even Empress Zhangsun couldn't say a word.

Li Ke looked down from above at Li Tai, who was crawling on the ground, his fourth brother.

"I'll just ask you one thing: did Father know about your collusion with the pirates?"

Unexpectedly, Li Ke asked such a question?

Li Tai's mind raced.

Li Ke asking this, could it be that he started to suspect that it was Father who wanted him dead?

Regardless of whether it was or not, wasn't the answer obvious?

"He knew! If Father didn't know, how would we dare to do this? In fact, colluding with the pirates..." Li Tai, in order to save his own life, even sold out Li Er.

"It was Father's idea. He wanted to use this move to contain Great Qin's development."

At this, the Great Qin officials watching were in an uproar.

"The Emperor of the Great Tang is actually such a low-life!"

"A dignified Emperor, actually losing all face to collude with Japanese pirates?"

"Shameless! A tragedy for the people of the world!"

At this moment, Li Ke's heart was dead.

He had originally felt that the Great Tang could still be saved, it was just that its policies couldn't keep up with Great Qin.

But as long as they worked hard, they would surely create glory again.

But now, he had completely given up.

From the Emperor down to the civil and military officials, under the strong pressure of Great Qin, they all seemed to have become somewhat absurd.

Their minds were spent all day pondering some crooked paths.

Such a Great Tang, it's better not to save it!

Li Ke suddenly turned and bowed to Qin Mu.

"Your Majesty, I have figured it out; I will never return to the Great Tang again!"
