East Palace or the Imperial Garden, but it was still well-maintained. Even in the depths of winter, some ordinary flowers and grasses managed to bloom, giving off a hint of lush greenery.“These were...Chapter 1606: Escape from Hell

"I haven't read many books, nor do I have as much culture as you. But I just don't understand, how can you say to abandon the Yueya Pass after guarding it for so many years"

I don't understand these things, all I know is that Yueyaguan is my life, as long as Yueyaguan exists, I exist.

"I listen to the Big Handsome, and even more so to the Prince's orders."

"I vow to defend the Moonlit Pass with my life, and to protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

A gust of wind roared past Li Chen's ears, leaving behind the sounds of battle and shouts.

Wang Da zhao led the last remaining soldiers, in order to protect Li Chen's safe exit from the pass, decided to stay and fight to the death.

Words Wang Da zhao had spoken in the past, each sentence popping up in Li Chen's mind.

He suddenly realized that he was wrong.

The problem wasn't the strategy itself, but the deliberate disregard for countless military leaders like Wang Dajiao and ordinary soldiers. They fought and died defending Yuemen Pass, safeguarding the northwestern frontier of the Qin dynasty for decades. Their dedication...

Humans, all humans, have feelings.

He completely ignored their feelings, yet at the last moment, they still fought for him.

Perhaps this is their destiny.

They are destined to perish alongside the Crescent Gate.

As Wang Da zhi himself said, as long as Yueya Guan stands, he is alive; when Yueya Guan falls, he dies.

He chose to be loyal to his word and fulfilled it.

For the first time, Li Chen felt a sense of shame for his so-called schemes and strategies.

He was ashamed of his many schemes and machinations, feeling utterly corrupt in the presence of someone as pure as Wang Da Zhai.

After Wang Da zhao, Chen Tong and Xu Wei remained silent. They had neither the time nor the energy to speak.

Although the Xiaoqiying was held back by Wang Da zhi and his men, the shouts of killing from behind grew fainter and weaker. It was only a matter of time before they were completely wiped out.

But the South City Gate has not arrived yet.

Both of them unleashed their full potential, exerting all their might, taking turns to race towards the South City Gate with Li Chen at the fastest speed they could manage.

Under such a reckless rush, the south city gate was within reach.

At last, they saw the long-lost Qin banners and the surging shouts of battle.

Chen Tongyun took a deep breath, and roared from his throat: "Qin soldiers, save the emperor!!!"

A single rallying cry sent the entire Qin army into a frenzy.

"It's the Crown Prince! His Royal Highness!!!"

"Hurry!!! Hail Prince!!!"

Amidst the roars of countless voices, soldiers surged towards Li Chen's location without needing any orders, acting entirely on their own accord.

Looking at that familiar face, familiar armor, familiar flags and language, Chen Tong and Xu Wei looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement and tears. They had actually made it out.

Wu Ban Shan personally led the team, after receiving Li Chen, immediately retreated.

"Retreat!!!"

Wu Ban Shan relaxed completely upon receiving Li Chen.

Although it was Li Chen's own insistence, if the Crown Prince really entrusted his life at Yueya Pass, then today would not only be the fall of Yueya Pass, but also the demise of the entire Qin dynasty.

Thank goodness, Heaven blesses us, the God of War protects us, His Royal Highness, you are safe and sound.

Accompanied by Wu Ban Shan, they rushed out of the south city gate under heavy guard. The scene before them instantly opened up, a vast plain stretching as far as the eye could see, connecting Gansu and Shaanxi provinces.

"General Wu."

Li Chen spoke.

"At your service."

Wu Ban Shan focused his attention, waiting for the opportune moment.

"Retreat immediately, the Liao army will be right behind us."

As if to confirm Li Chen's words, there were earth-shaking footsteps and the clatter of hooves rushing in from within Nancheng Gate.

On the city gate tower, Yelü Shenxuan rushed over.

Li Chen looked up and met Yelu Shenxuan's gaze.nd Su Jinpa some time to chat together as a father and daughter.After all, such opportunities will only become less and less common in the future.After the two of them finished talking, Su Zhen Ting v...
