Chapter 129 Li Zhen’s shocking words

"Very good, then let's start."

As he finished speaking, Li Zhen flipped the hourglass in his hand, and the tiny sand naturally began to flow downwards under the influence of gravity.

"Let's go..." He looked at Li Zhen deeply, buried the shame deeply in his heart. Locke roared and ran towards the original path.

"Li Zhen, we remember this shame. One day in the future, we will definitely return it to you." Li Siqian said to Li Zhen, then carried Gongshu achievements and ran back - as for why he had to carry Gongshu, um, after all, he was seventy-eighty, if he let him run by himself, he would not be able to run a hundred steps...

"Tsk..." Li Zhen expressed contempt for Li Siqian's words. If I were afraid of your revenge in the future, I would have left you here long ago. How could I let you go? Since I dared to let you go, I would naturally not be afraid of your revenge.

...

"It's time."

The hourglass flows very fast, and it has reached its bottom in just one stick of incense.

"Your Highness, are you chasing me?" The fat man asked hurriedly when he saw this.

Li Zhen shook his head, "No, just blow up the hole."

"What?" Gao Ding was furious: "Li Zhen, you don't keep your promise..."

"Shut up, don't act here. Has no one ever told you that your acting skills are very poor? So bad that even a fool can see the flaws, don't you feel embarrassed?" Li Zhen glanced at him and said with a little contempt: "Do you think I don't know that this tunnel is a very complex underground network? Not only do I know that this tunnel was built when Yang Xuangan raised an army against the Sui Dynasty, in order to make it easier to cooperate with the inside and outside when attacking Chang'an after breaking Luoyang?

It’s a pity that Yang Xuangan’s military capabilities are too useless. Even a single Luoyang was not captured. The tunnel outside Chang'an City was built in vain, but in the end it was cheap... Such a complex secret passage network, don’t tell me that there is only one exit. If Li Chengke still can’t escape under such a situation, then even if he dies, he will die in vain.”

I don’t know what happened, but Li Zhen likes to call Locke’s real name in front of outsiders. Instead, he doesn’t call Locke that way, but instead uses Brother Luo to replace him.

"..." The high-end courtesy was speechless.

"Since you know everything, why do you want to let Your Highness go? What are you going to do?" Gao Ding asked after a long time.

"Do you know the catfish effect?"

"What's the meaning?"

Li Zhen explained softly: "There is a fish called sardines, which are very popular among some people, especially live fish. The price of live sardines on the market is much higher than that of dead fish.

Therefore, fishermen always try every means to let the sardines return to the fishing port alive. However, after all the efforts, most of the sardines still died of suffocation in the middle.

But there was a fisherman who went out to sea to fish, but always allowed most of the sardines to return to the fishing port alive, so he could make a lot of profits. The fisherman strictly kept the secret and the answer was not revealed until his death.

It turned out that the fisherman put a catfish in the fish tank filled with sardines, which was mainly food. After the catfish entered the fish tank, it swam around because the environment was unfamiliar. The sardines were very nervous when they saw the catfish, and rushed left and right, avoided everywhere, and swam faster. In this way, the sardines had a problem of hypoxia, and the sardines would not die. In this way, the sardines would jump back to the fishing port. This was the 'catfish effect'."

"...Although I don't know what hypoxia is, I understand what you mean." Gao Ding pondered for a while, and finally understood what Li Zhen meant and his intention to let Locke go.

Looking at Li Zhen who was full of confidence, Gao Ding said with a little self-deprecating: "So you value the potential of His Royal Highness the Emperor and are preparing to train him into the catfish that stirs up the situation in the Tang Dynasty and keeps the Tang Dynasty in a state of vitality forever. In your eyes, Your Highness is just a catfish. Li Zhen, should I say you are arrogant? Or should you say you are too confident?"

"But Li Zhen, you are so sure, will Your Highness the Emperor's Grandfather be as you wish? Or, you are so sure, can you suppress Your Highness the Emperor's Grandfather for the rest of your life? You are not afraid, what if one day, Your Highness the Emperor's Grandfather emerges and overthrows your rule in turn? I have thought about it. The antonym of the catfish effect is to raise a tiger and raising a disaster."

"Hahaha, let alone under my suppression, whether Li Chengke can turn over, so what if he can turn over successfully?" Li Zhen smiled lightly: "Everyone says that I have a broad vision, but I don't know that the main reason is that I have never put Yan Jing above the gains and losses of a city and a place. You can do anything to maintain your rule, but I am different. Not to mention that this country ends up falling on Li Chengke, even if it dies on people from other surnames, as long as it can bring happiness and strength to this country, then even if the Li Tang Dynasty is completely destroyed...what is it?"

“…”

Everyone stopped talking, and they were shocked by Li Zhen's amazing words. In this era of orderly inheritance, Li Zhen's words just now were undoubtedly shocking, and they were simply rebellious. If this was spread, I was afraid that his position as the prince would be removed directly - no one would object.

"You... you are simply unreasonable." Gao Ding was also shocked and stunned. Li Zhen's thoughts were too dangerous. Even if Gao Ding was so strong inside, she would never have thought that Li Zhen would have such a thought.

"So...so you are short-sighted." Li Zhen said indifferently. There has been no dynasty since ancient times. Even the powerful Byzantine Empire seems to have been passed down for more than a thousand years, but in fact it is divided into several dynasties within it. It is not as imagined by outsiders, and it has been passed down for thousands of years.

Li Zhen came from later generations and was deeply influenced by democratic ideas. He actually didn't care much about these things - of course, if he could continue the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhen would do it, but if there was no way, then he didn't care.

"Your Highness, the gunpowder has been laid out." At this moment, Rollin had arranged the explosives and came to report: "Do you ignite the fire line now?"

"Very good, it's blown up."

"Yes." Luo Lin invited Li Zhen out of the Sanqing Palace, and then lit the gunpowder lead with his own hands.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

“…”

The roars one after another completely broke the exit of the tunnel. Of course, such a complex secret passage, there was no way to have only one exit for self-heating. After hearing the explosion sound from behind, Locke and his people ran forward faster.
