For a time,
The battle in the palace square suddenly stopped. Li Shimin and Li Chengqian's troops and martial arts practitioners all retreated, leaving only Su Chen, Liu Sheng Xue Ji, and their sister in the middle of the square.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Su Chen coughed as soon as he released Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Hyousu. He hadn't expected Li Maozhen to act so quickly.
But it’s okay,
Empress Li Maozhen had no intention of killing him; otherwise, this act of courting death would have truly sealed his fate.
"Master, are you alright?"
Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Hyouse hurriedly helped Su Chen up and asked with concern,
They were just carried away by Su Chen.
Li Maozhen's attack wasn't directed at the sisters, but Su Chen's violent coughing made them very worried.
"It's alright, you can leave... What the hell? How did we end up in the palace square? And why has the fighting stopped there?"
Su Chen was answering the Yagyu Yukihime sisters when he suddenly saw the three of them appear in the square, with even the soldiers and martial arts practitioners on both sides watching them.
Su Chen was completely dumbfounded.
He was attacked by Li Maozhen when he tried to escape.
Su Chen also changed his escape route.
He hadn't expected that after being struck down by Li Maozhen's palm, the three of them would appear in the palace square, and it seemed that their appearance had temporarily halted the war between the two sides.
"Ahem, you guys continue, you guys continue. We're just passing by, we'll leave now and won't disturb your war!"
Su Chen waved to Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, then prepared to leave with the Yagyu Yuki and her sister.
Li Shimin looked at Su Chen and shouted, "Marquis of Wuwei, now that you're here, don't leave."
Li Shimin never expected Su Chen to appear in the palace. That bastard must have been watching them fight each other.
but,
Su Chen's arrival gave Li Shimin some ideas.
Li Shimin felt that the conditions he had previously proposed were somewhat insufficient, so this time he planned to extort more from Su Chen. He needed weapons, provisions, and money, all of which were in great need of the Tang Empire.
Li Chengqian shouted angrily upon seeing Su Chen.
"Lord Wuwei, where is my mother? If you don't hand over my mother today, you won't be able to leave the palace."
Su Chen looked at Li Shimin and asked coldly, "Li Shimin, are you going to attack me?"
Li Shimin shook his head and laughed.
"No, why would I attack you? We are allies, Marquis Wuwei. I just feel that our previous terms were somewhat insufficient, and I want to increase the terms I proposed earlier."
Su Chen scoffed upon hearing Li Shimin's words.
"Li Shimin, you are truly shameless. Do you think I would agree to your request?"
"You will agree, Marquis Wuwei. Don't forget that you are still in Chang'an. If you don't agree, neither you nor Changsun Wuhou can leave Chang'an. Don't you agree?"
Su Chen looked at Li Shimin with utter sarcasm.
Can't they leave Chang'an?
It would be an easy task for him to take Changsun Wuhou away from Chang'an.
but,
Su Chen still wanted to see Li Shimin's shamelessness.
Put forward conditions?
Li Shimin, please feel free to suggest it.
Whether Li Shimin would live to receive the money and provisions he wanted was not up to him.
"Li Shimin, I really underestimated your shamelessness. How much more are you going to increase it?"
Li Shimin thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Marquis Wuwei, in addition to the army dispatched by the Sui Dynasty, I want 200,000 sets of fine weapons and armor, 100,000 warhorses, 1 million dan of grain, and 5 million jin of gold."
"Haha... Li Shimin, you really have a ridiculous demand. Do you think I'll agree to it?"
You will say yes!
"Not always!"
Su Chen shook his head at Li Shimin and then looked at Li Chengqian.
He said to Li Chengqian, who was looking furious.
"Li Chengqian, you heard what I just said, right? If you kill Li Shimin, I can grant you the conditions Li Shimin just mentioned."
Li Chengqian's eyes widened when he heard Su Chen's words.
Two hundred thousand sets of weapons and armor, one hundred thousand warhorses, one million dan of grain, and five million taels of gold.
Li Chengqian was very tempted when he heard this.
If he had these weapons and armor, Li Chengqian could arm another 200,000 troops, and he wouldn't have to worry about not having enough food and money to support such a large army.
"Marquis Wuwei, are you telling the truth?"
Su Chen nodded with his arms crossed and said, "Do you think I would lie to you at a time like this?"
Idiot,
Li Chengqian had just been looking angry and wanted to save Changsun Wuhou.
But upon hearing these promises she made, Li Chengqian had probably already forgotten about her mother, Changsun Wuhou.
Su Chen was speechless at the sight of Li Shimin and his son Li Chengqian; both were ruthless and heartless towards their own family.
As long as there is profit...
Both Li Shimin and Li Chengqian might sell their wives, or even everything else.
"Let me go, Your Majesty! Please save me!"
At this time,
Xiao Siwu appeared beside Li Shimin with Consort Yang in his arms. Consort Yang screamed in panic when she saw Li Shimin.
After looking at Su Chen, Xiao Siwu asked Li Shimin,
"Li Shimin, is this person Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen?"
Chapter 428 Yang Fei, heartbroken, and Su Chen, the troublemaker!
Xiao Siwu never expected that the battle in the palace square would stop just as he went to capture Consort Yang to enjoy her.
Marquis of Wuwei, Su Chen?
This is the person the seven leaders of the Azure Dragon Society are tasked with assassinating.
Since the Seven Dragon Heads died in the ruins of Cloud Mist Mountain, the assassination attempt by Marquis Wuwei has come to nothing.
Xiao Siwu was very interested in Su Chen.
The Seven Dragon Heads never killed Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen, even until his death. If he were to kill Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen, this time...
Li Shimin should offer a good price.
Among the concubines in Li Shimin's palace, there were several quite good ones; Xiao Si never thought there were too many beautiful women.
Li Shimin did not look at Consort Yang.
A beautiful woman,
He has no time to care about Consort Yang right now.
Furthermore, since Consort Yang had already been bestowed upon Xiao Siwu by him, Li Shimin dared not offend the four dragon leaders, Xiao Siwu, at this time.
Li Shimin nodded to Xiao Siwu and then asked,
"That's right, he is Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen, one of the Four Dragon Heads. You want to kill Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen?"
Xiao Silong smiled and nodded, saying...
"Didn't you pay the Seven Dragon Heads to kill Marquis Su Chen of Wuwei? I've helped you kill Marquis Su Chen this time, but your reward can't be any less than what you gave the Seven Dragon Heads."
Li Shimin waved his hand and hurriedly explained,
"Fourth Dragon Head, Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen, cannot die yet. The Great Tang still needs the help of the Great Sui Empire. As long as the Great Tang Empire overcomes this crisis, Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen, must die. I will give you the same reward as the Seventh Dragon Head."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Consort Yang stood to the side and saw that Li Shimin ignored her completely.
She understood.
Li Shimin really did give her to this old man.
Consort Yang had initially thought the old man was an assassin who had only captured her to escape the palace. She hadn't expected Xiao Siwu to be telling the truth; she had actually been used as a bargaining chip and given to an old man.
