acing the group of officials who were vocally opposed, Li Chen remained expressionless.He now understood why, in feudal dynasties, emperors after the founder often had to engage in power struggles wit...Chapter 1602 The Power of a Traitor

"Stop!"

Li Chen let out a low growl, and Xu Wei and the others instinctively stopped in their tracks.

Li Chen turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, but saw a figure shrouded in a cloak standing at the mouth of the alley, their face obscured.

Before Li Chen could give an order, Chen Tong immediately rushed over.

To everyone's surprise, the mysterious man had no martial arts skills. He was caught like a little chick by Chen Tong without any resistance.

Chen Tong let out a light exclamation, and with a raise of his hand, he pulled off the hat from this person's cloak.

Xiao Tiannan's face was exposed before Li Chen's eyes.

Li Chen narrowed his eyes sharply and said, "It's you."

Xiao Tiannan swallowed hard and wryly smiled, "Your Highness has a good memory, you remember me."

"This palace not only remembers you, but also remembers many things."

Li Chen said in a low voice, "You said the way ahead is a dead end, what's going on Speak quickly, this palace doesn't have time to waste with you here. You don't want to be seen with this palace, do you"

Xiao Tiannan immediately put on his hat upon hearing this, as if afraid of being seen.

This time, Li Chen didn't stop.

Xiao Tiannan urgently said: "Yelü Shenxuan had anticipated that His Highness would definitely go through the south gate, and had already deployed heavy troops on the main road leading to the south gate. Among them was the elite cavalry camp of Yelü Shenxuan's personal guard, the 1,000-strong Xiaoqi Camp. Each member of this camp is a master swordsman, selected from the best throughout Liao after thousands of rounds of scrutiny. Once His Highness passes through, he will immediately be surrounded, with no chance of survival."

This made Li Chen's brows furrow sharply.

Li Chen knew that Xiao Tiannan probably wouldn't lie to him.

...Not only is he most afraid of being caught for his traitorous identity, but Xiao Tiannan also has no motive to lie to me. ...

Most importantly, Li Chen always felt that although this journey was difficult, it wasn't a hopeless situation.

Originally, Yelv Shenxuan's killing move was left here waiting for him.

From the entire Liao Dynasty, they had selected the elite among the elite, the personal guard of Yelu Shenxuan, a truly impressive display of strength.

Li Chen wondered to himself, if he were Yelü Shenxuan...he probably would be even crueler.

"Let's go! Change routes!"

Li Chen made the decision in the shortest amount of time.

"Come my way!"

Xiao Tiannan said anxiously, "The road I came from has the fewest Liao troops!"

Li Chen didn't hesitate, and he let Xu Wei and Chen Tong use their light kung fu to take him away rapidly.

Looking at Li Chen's departing figure, Xiao Tiannan let out a deep sigh of relief.

And then there was nothing left but helplessness.

He has done everything he could.

Whether Li Chen can escape alive depends on himself.

If he couldn't escape... Xiao Tiannan could only accept his fate.

The moment he was betrayed, he knew.

If you can't resist the temptation of a "good friend's" sugary bombshell, then you have to bear this unknown torture.

Walking down the alleyway from Xiao Tiannan's side, Li Chen did indeed find that there were many fewer Liao troops, and the pressure on the trio of fugitives was immediately reduced.

"You know what kind of person, when used well, can be worth more than a thousand troops" Li Chen suddenly asked.

Xu Wei glanced at Chen Tong, and with a light smile, said: "Of course, it would be someone like me."

Xu Wei, was a spy by origin.

For Li Chen, it was undercover. For a certain prince who had already died, it was a complete betrayal.

And in the profession of "erwuzi" , Xu Wei and Xiao Tiannan were colleagues.oldiers, Liao army soldiers would without hesitation give them a quick end, sending them to their final rest.The scaling ladders were constantly being burned, pushed away, and then rebuilt.Every time...
