Amidst Yelu Shenxuan's hesitation, Li Chen had already led his army to retreat.
Yelu Shenxuan was not in a hurry either.
Whether to pursue or not does not depend on this moment.
He was sure that even if Li Chen wanted to run, he wouldn't be able to get far in a short time.
After all, Li Chen was followed by an army. The army marched not by one or two people, but by thousands of people. Just deploying and arranging it would take a lot of time.
What's more, this was when Li Chen lost the Crescent Pass and suffered a huge defeat.
Even if he wants to run away, Li Chen must first arrange the storm caused by the loss of the Crescent Pass in Daqin. Otherwise, his position as the prince may not be guaranteed.
And here, Li Chen has led his team to quickly leave Crescent Pass.
"Xu Wei."
Li Chen called in a low voice.
Xu Wei immediately came to Li Chen's side.
Li Chen said in a deep voice: "I want you to go back to Yueyang Pass, do you dare?"
Xu Wei did not hesitate at all and said: "Please give the order, Your Highness."
Li Chen said with great relief: "Very good, I saw you right."
"Xu Wei said that Xu Wei's life has long been His Highness's. Xu Wei is not afraid of danger and has already put life and death aside. His only worry is that he will not be able to complete His Highness's mission and let His Highness down."
Li Chen didn't say much, he just patted Xu Wei's shoulder heavily, then motioned Xu Wei to come closer, and whispered to him: "Dress up in disguise, pretend to be a Liao army, go back to Crescent Pass, find Xiao Tiannan, let's
He only has to do one thing, and that is to make every effort to get Yelu Shenxuan to agree to send troops to hunt down me."
"This mission seems extremely risky, but as the saying goes, no one would dare to go back to Crescent Pass now. Therefore, relatively speaking, your risk is not that great. As long as you come back immediately after completing the mission, you will be safe."
It’s considered a success.”
Xu Wei nodded clearly and said in a deep voice: "I will leave immediately."
"Take care of yourself."
Li Chen said: "Too many people have died around me today, and I don't want any more casualties."
Xu Wei smiled, saluted Li Chen, turned around and left the team, disappearing into the wind and snow.
Just as Yelu Shenxuan expected, Li Chen did not go far.
He just took the remaining defeated soldiers and set up camp in an open area fifty miles away from Crescent Pass.
As soon as the temporary camp was set up and the soldiers were allowed to make food and rest, Wu Banshan and others came to Li Chen's camp.
"Your Highness, we have discovered the Liao army's scouts, who are monitoring every move of our army."
"It makes sense."
Li Chen was not surprised and said: "If there is no surveillance at all, I am worried that the attempt will be in vain."
After saying that, Li Chen asked again: "Is Wu Shuai ready?"
"Everything is ready." Wu Banshan replied immediately.
"Invite them."
After Li Chen finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to rest.
Too many things happened today, and he himself escaped death several times. Although he had been mentally prepared, Li Chen only felt tired and scared after experiencing everything firsthand.
He is not a god, he is just a human being, so naturally he will be tired and afraid.
But now, everything has passed.
Now that the bait has been delivered to Yelu Shenxuan's mouth, all Li Chen has to do is wait patiently for the fish to take the bait.
