Inside the Prince Shu's Mansion in Yizhou City.
Zhuge Ying and other counselors from the King of Shu were all standing in the room.
However, except for Zhuge Ying, everyone else was already trembling and looking panicked.
They had just heard that their city had been breached.
The Liangzhou army has now entered the city, and it seems that it will not take long to reach the Shu Palace.
One of them stood up straight, cupped his hands towards Li Ke and said: "Your Highness, now that the enemy has come in, you'd better retreat quickly..."
"withdraw?"
"Where to retreat?"
Li Ke looked up and smiled bitterly: "The place where the sun and the moon shine is the king's land, and the shore of the land is the king's ministers."
"This world belongs to the Tang Dynasty, where else can I hide?"
However, he also knows what these people are thinking.
He waved his hands casually and said: "That's all, if you want to leave, just go."
"I will not force you to stay, let alone kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"I, Li Ke, do things alone and take responsibility for others. Just let me bear the burden alone."
In fact, from the moment Li Chengqian crossed Jianmen Pass, or that he walked out of Jiangnan Road alive, Li Ke had already seen that he had no chance of winning.
After all, there are too many people who want to steal victory from Li Chengqian these years.
But how many people succeeded in the end?
Perhaps the most successful among them is Zhao Youlin.
After all, this guy also used some calculations to scheme against Li Chengqian until he almost came to an end.
However, he did not succeed later. Li Chengqian still got out of trouble and defeated him.
Of course, Li Ke didn't admit that he was inferior to Zhao Youlin.
But he knew that considering the situation in Shu, it was no match for the imperial court.
After all, Shu was too small and could not compete with the Tang Dynasty.
Instead of struggling to the death, or running away all the time, it is better to just wait here.
When the time comes, he will admit it whether he is alive or dead.
Of course.
There was another reason why he didn't leave.
That's because he is the prince and Li Shimin's son.
He couldn't embarrass his father.
He can die in battle, but he must not run away like a lost dog.
After hearing what he said, the counselors were about to speak out to persuade him.
Zhuge Ying then slowly said: "Okay, don't say anything anymore. You can't change what His Highness has decided."
"so……"
He looked around at everyone present and said: "Everyone can leave if they want. The enemy hasn't come here yet, otherwise you won't be able to leave after a while..."
After hearing what Zhuge Ying said and looking at Li Ke's attitude, everyone understood what was going on.
However, no one dares to be the first to leave at this time.
After all, they were also afraid that they would be killed by Li Ke if they roared as soon as they stepped forward.
Listening to the closer and closer explosions and shouts of death, someone finally couldn't help but stood up first.
The man knelt down directly towards Li Ke and kowtowed: "Your Highness, there are old people and children at home, so I have to go first..."
"Um."
Li Ke waved his hand randomly and said: "Let's go, remember to help me take care of my sister-in-law."
The man gritted his teeth and tears burst out of his eyes.
He didn't care about anything else at the moment, he stood up straight and strode towards the door.
Li Ke sat motionless, looking straight at the tea bowl in his hand.
Seeing that the man walked out was fine, and some people's minds became active.
I saw those people stood up one after another, saluted Li Ke, and then walked out of the door one after another.
In the end, only Zhuge Ying and Li Ke were left in the room.
"It's really a waste of time..."
Li Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly, then drank the herbal tea in his hand.
He looked up at Zhuge Ying and said, "Mr. Zhuge, aren't you going to go with them?"
"I'm not leaving."
Zhuge Ying shook his head and smiled.
"I have no relatives, no family, no old people and children to take care of."
He looked at Li Ke and said, "So, I am willing to accompany His Highness."
"hehe."
"When I first came to Sichuan, no one wanted to talk to me. It took many years of operation to achieve what it is now."
"When you go in and out, you are surrounded by people shouting in front and behind you. It's so grand."
Li Ke sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the only person who stayed with me in the end was you..."
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry."
"This is human nature."
Zhuge Ying's face was filled with an indifferent smile: "After all, if you can live, no one wants to die..."
"Then why do you want to die so much?"
Li Ke looked at Zhuge Ying with confusion on his face.
Everyone else is leaving, but you are not leaving.
And then you are still here telling me who wants to die if he can live.
"Hi."
"Who told me to lose my temper with you?"
"Who called me? You called me brother."
"What's more, my life was given by you, and everything I have is also given by you."
"If you die, I will have nothing."
"Instead of being empty, I might as well go with you."
"Maybe when we get there, we can accomplish something great."
Zhuge Ying's face was full of indifference to life and death, and the scene really moved Li Ke.
Li Ke raised his head slightly and looked at Zhuge Ying.
Then he closed his eyes and smiled.
"enough."
"This life is enough."
"Being born in an emperor's family and seeing all the prosperity in the world."
"If you can become the king of Shu, you can create a career in Shu."
"I'm here, I'm here, and one of your brothers is with me..."
Li Ke grinned and smiled broadly: "That's enough."
After saying this, he slowly stood up.
After straightening his clothes, he walked straight out.
At this moment, the shouts of killing outside the door were already approaching.
Dozens of Liangzhou soldiers gathered outside the Shu Palace. After hesitating for a moment, the centurion ordered: "Bump the door!"
After receiving the order, several soldiers walked towards the red-painted gate of Prince Shu's Mansion.
But at this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ke and Zhuge Ying were seen walking out of the room with square steps, one behind the other.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Qianzi Camp were also a little confused.
Everyone, you look at me, I see you are a little at a loss.
They didn't know whether they should go up and kill the person, or capture him alive.
At this time, Li Ke spoke slowly.
"I am the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty."
"You don't have the right to tie me up, capture me, or kill me."
He looked around at everyone and then said: "If you don't want to die, or if you don't want to be blamed, you'd better call Li Chengqian to see me as soon as possible."
Although these words are arrogant, they make sense.
After all, he is Li Shimin's son.
No one knows what Li Shimin is thinking now.
Even if Li Shimin wants to kill him now, what about in the future?
What if Li Shimin regrets it one day?
In this way, the person who took the lead in killing Li Ke was not the hero but the culprit.
Maybe, Li Shimin could secretly think of ten thousand ways to kill that person.
After the centurion looked at the deputies beside him, he decided to call Li Chengqian to come over and handle the matter personally.
Of course, before that, he still had people surround these two people...
