Chapter 1610: Return

ill a worthless piece of trash. I'm going to buy it today and burn it in front of everyone. See what you can do about it!" Zhao Tai glared at Li Chen, spitting venomously.Li Chen said plainly, "You're...Chapter 1610: Go Back

While Yelu Shenxuan hesitated, Li Chen had already led his army to retreat.

Yelü Shenxuan was not in a hurry.

Whether to pursue is not a matter of this time.

He was certain that even if Li Chen wanted to run, he wouldn't be able to get very far in a short amount of time.

After all, Li Chen still had a large army following him. The army's march wasn't just a few people; it involved thousands upon thousands of soldiers. Just the deployment and arrangements would take a lot of time.

Furthermore, this happened after Li Chen had lost the Yueya Pass and suffered a crushing defeat.

Even if he were to flee, Li Chen would have to make sure the news of him losing the Yueya Pass was kept under wraps within the Qin Dynasty, otherwise his position as prince wouldn't be so secure.

And Li Chen, over here, had already quickly left Yueya Pass with his team.

"Xu Wei."

Li Chen whispered a word.

Xu Wei immediately came to Li Chen's side.

Li Chen said in a deep voice, "I want you to return to Yueya Pass. Do you dare"

Xu Wei didn't hesitate for a moment and said, "Your Highness, please give your order."

Li Chen said with great satisfaction, “Good. This palace did not misjudge you.”

"Xu Wei said, Xu Wei's life is already the lord's. Xu Wei is not afraid of danger and has long since disregarded life and death. The only thing he worries about is that he cannot complete the lord's task and disappoint him."

Li Chen didn't say much, just patted Xu Wei heavily on the shoulder and motioned for him to come closer. He whispered, "Disguise yourself as a Liao army soldier and return to Yueya Pass. Find Xiao Tiannan and tell him to do one thing: use all his efforts to persuade Yelu Shenxuan to agree to send troops to hunt down this palace."

“This task appears to be extremely risky, but as the saying goes, ‘what is hidden under the lamplight,’ nobody would expect you to dare go back to Yueyaguan now. Therefore, your danger is relatively low. As long as you complete the mission and return immediately afterward, then it will be considered a success.”

Xu Wei nodded knowingly and said in a deep voice, "I will go at once."

Li Chen said, "Too many people have died near the palace today. This Palace does not wish for any further casualties."

Xu Wei smiled and bowed to Li Chen. Then he turned away from the ranks and disappeared into the swirling snow.

Just as Yelü Shenxuan had anticipated, Li Chen hadn't gone far.

With only a handful of remaining soldiers,

they set up camp fifty miles from the Yueya Pass in a wide open area.

Just as Li Chen had the temporary camp set up and his soldiers were cooking meals and resting, Wu Ban Shan and others arrived at Li Chen's tent.

"Your Highness, a scout from the Liao army has been discovered. It is monitoring our every move."

"It makes sense."

Li Chen was not surprised, and said: "If there were no surveillance at all, this palace would be worried that it would be a waste of effort."

Having said that, Li Chen asked again, "Is Wu Shuai's side ready yet"

"All ready." Wu BanShan answered immediately.

Let them come.

After Li Chen finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Today, too many things happened. He himself escaped death several times. Although he had psychological preparation beforehand, after experiencing everything firsthand, Li Chen only felt fatigue and fear.

He is not a god, just an ordinary person, so he gets tired and scared too.

But now, everything is over.

Now that the bait has been delivered to Yelv Shenxuan's doorstep, Li Chen only needs to patiently wait, waiting for the fish to take the hook.ly lit.Inside the grand hall, it spanned eighteen zhang and nine in width, with a depth of six zhang and nine.
