Chapter 989

~5 min read 904 words

Since the Great Qin Emperor called Li Chunfeng a Great Tang charlatan, it shows that he hasn't surrendered to the Great Qin imperial court.

Maybe Li Chunfeng would rather die than surrender?

"Makes sense!"

Fang Xuanling's words finally let Old Li put down the anxiety in his heart a little.

He was really scared.

"We must find out about this matter later.

Otherwise, if Great Tang continues to be sucked dry by Great Qin like this, without anyone attacking, sooner or later it will be poor to the point of destruction!"

Old Li thought sadly, would Great Tang be the first regime in history to be destroyed because of poverty?

If that were the case, he would really be famous in history!

However, it wouldn't be a good reputation, but a reputation of being stupid to the point of being hopeless!

As the Great Tang Emperor, what could be more sad than this?

Just when Old Li was infinitely emotional in his heart.

Haikang County, Jiaozhou.

Yuchi Gong brought an army and came here.

"Where is Wang Jing? Where is he? Bring him to see me immediately!"

However, no one paid attention to him.

Causing Yuchi Gong to jump with rage.

"Ignoring the imperial envoy, are you all going to rebel?

I am an imperial envoy who received the Emperor's decree!"

Unfortunately, his words couldn't even scare some of the guards below.

Zhangsun Wuji got the news and came out to meet him, which eased Yuchi Gong's embarrassment.

"Lord Yuchi, what time do you have to come to Jiaozhou for a tour?"

Yuchi Gong saw Zhangsun Wuji and had to put away his temper, his attitude softening.

"So it's Lord Zhangsun. I received the Emperor's decree to come and arrest Wang Jing.

Can Lord Zhangsun help me call Wang Jing out?"

"Wang Jing?"

Zhangsun Wuji pretended to be blank, as if he didn't know anything.

"I haven't seen him for a long time, I don't know where he went?

Lord Yuchi, wait a moment, I will send someone to find him."

Yuchi Gong saw that Zhangsun Wuji's attitude was good and sat down to wait with peace of mind.

This wait was three days.

Yuchi Gong was anxious and went to find Zhangsun Wuji several times, but was pushed away by various excuses.

Finally, Zhangsun Wuji told him.

"Wang Jing is gone, presumably he fled in fear of crime.

Lord Yuchi, I have to trouble you to chase the murderer to the ends of the earth!"

Ten thousand wild horses ran through Yuchi Gong's heart.

If he hadn't waited here, maybe he would have had a chance to catch up.

... Flowers... 0

Now that he had waited for three days, where could he find him?

The person had already run away without a trace!

Moreover, I don't know which direction he ran in?

"Lord Zhangsun, you really... harmed me so bitterly!

Forget it, I'm going back to report the decree.

By the way, is the Prince of Wei here?

His Majesty has a decree for me to take him back to the capital!"

This time, it was Zhangsun Wuji's turn to be unhappy.

He hoped that Li Tai would stay here all the time, which could serve as their amulet.

However, the Emperor wanted to recall the Prince of Wei.

This showed that the Emperor might have started to suspect that they would gather here to rebel!

This was a dangerous signal!

Once they started to be suspected by the Emperor, the Emperor might accelerate the pace of dealing with the four great aristocratic families.

For him, this was less development time.

This was definitely not good news!

Zhangsun Wuji looked at the desperate Yuchi Gong; this fool didn't know at all that so many thoughts had turned in his brain in such a short time.

"Lord Yuchi, wait a moment, I will go and invite the Prince of Wei out.

But I assume he doesn't want to see you; he hasn't met you in these three days."

Zhangsun Wuji first gave Yuchi Gong a hint.

Only then did he go to find Li Tai.

After telling Li Tai the situation, he hinted that it was best not to go back with Yuchi Gong.

Once he went back, he might be strictly guarded by the Emperor, and it wouldn't be easy to come out again.

Li Tai understood.

When he came out to see Yuchi Gong, he gave him a cold face on the spot.

"Yuchi Gong, what's wrong with me playing at my uncle's place for a few days?

What is your intention in urging me to go back?"

How could Yuchi Gong think that as soon as the Prince of Wei came out, he would lose such a big temper at him?

He explained blankly.

"Prince of Wei, this is His Majesty's decree. I am just acting according to the decree."

Li Tai shouted loudly.

"When I went to Great Qin and the Kushan Empire before, the Imperial Father never interfered with me.

Why urge me to go back this time?

Did you fake the imperial decree?"

Yuchi Gong couldn't afford this hat.

But he didn't have an imperial decree; he only received the Emperor's oral message.

Unable to persuade the Prince of Wei, he had to return to Jin Ling with his troops.

Zhangsun Wuji said to Li Tai with worry.

"The Emperor has started to suspect us, we must speed up!"
