Chapter 244: Cannot Run, Must Fight

are words that someone asked me to bring to you."As if knowing Li Yinhu would ask, the old man didn't hesitate and immediately said, "That person is right outside now. If Your Highness wishes to see...Chapter 244 Can't Run, Must Fight

Du Jianjiang was struck hard in the abdomen, he cried out in pain and staggered to the ground.

Regardless of the pain, he cried out in alarm, “What shall we do”

"Now realizing you're in trouble"

Li Chen sneered, "Now it's too late to say anything, Zhao Xuanji. This is about taking advantage of the chaos and seizing the head of this palace!"

Su Zhen Ting urgently said, “Your Highness, please immediately change into commoner's attire. I will surely safely escort you out of the capital.”

"Leaving the capital Why would you leave the capital"

Li Chen resolutely refused.

He is not impulsive, nor does he act to show off and risk his life.

On the contrary, the more tense the situation becomes, the clearer his mind becomes.

After delivering that kick filled with resentment, Li Chen vented his anger and surprisingly, calmed down at that moment.

"This palace cannot leave. Not only can I not leave, but I must wait for them openly and honestly."

Li Chen looked up at Su Zhen Ting and said, "General Su, how confident are you about the army"

Su Zhen Ting took a deep breath and said, "If it were another army, I would have a five percent chance of success. But if it were the Nandan Camp, at most one percent."

"That's enough."

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "Everyone, follow this palace out to the General's Mansion and wait for those mutinous soldiers to come."

"No!"

Samba was distraught, he crawled over from his kneeling position and grabbed hold of Li Chen's leg, sobbing uncontrollably. "Your Highness, don't be rash! Your Highness is invaluable, you are about to ascend the throne, it would be unwise to risk your life so easily! The Southern Army has carefully planned this, they have entered the capital, meaning they were prepared to die if they failed. Right now, Your Highness taking such a risk would be folly!"

Li Chen frowned.

The situation is precarious, hanging by a thread. San Bao was being indecisive and hesitant, which would have angered Li Chen had he not seen the sincerity in San Bao's words. His anger subsided somewhat, and he said, "This palace knows what to do. If we run now, we might actually fall into Zhao Xuan's trap."

Su ZhenTing reacted immediately, and he said, “Your Highness is right, we really can’t run now, let alone disguise ourselves.”

"Right now, outside, it's likely that Zhao Xuanji's spies have already surrounded the place completely. Even here in the General's Mansion, with so many servants, there's bound to be someone working for Zhao Xuanji. As long as Your Highness goes out in disguise, you would immediately be assassinated. But if you stay here openly, who in the world dares to kill the Crown Prince That's a responsibility no one can afford."

Su Zhen Ting respectfully bowed to Li Chen and said, "Your Highness has carefully considered everything. I am not as insightful as you."

"Stop flattering me, get out."

Li Chen waved his hand and walked out of the study first.

As soon as Li Chen left the study, he saw Su Jinpa hurrying over with her skirt in hand. It was clear she had also received the news.

Your Highness must not sneak out, you must stay at the General's Mansion!

From afar, Su Jin's first words to Li Chen were these.

It's obvious they were on the same page.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Jin Pa's intelligence is no less than mine."

Su Jinpa was taken aback.

It's unclear whether Li Chen is praising himself or someone else.

"Since you're here, let's go together."

Li Chen walked to Su Jinpa's side, grasped her wrist, and said, "Dare you accompany this palace to meet those thousand soldiers who are charging towards us"

Su Jin said proudly: "Even as a daughter of the Su family, I am not afraid of soldiers."

"Interesting."

Li Chen let out a hearty laugh and, taking Su Jinpa's hand, strode towards the gate of the General's Mansion.

At this moment, the street where the General's Residence stood was empty. The common people had already been driven away. Nearly every household in half the capital city had bolted their doors shut. Soldiers ran past constantly outside, and no one knew what had happened, but even less dared to venture out at this time.

At the end of the street, the sound of soldiers marching thundered in. A thousand soldiers marched forward, their voices like rolling thunder.e country."Moreover, Zhao Xuanji and this king have through various means laid ambushes in the capital city and its surroundings with a total of four thousand people. These four thousand people were a...
