He could bear any consequence, could wait, and could also die.
But Qingqing couldn’t wait.
The guards of Duke Zhen’s Mansion watched as Li Tongzhen charged at them again and were angered to the point of rage.
No one had ever dared to be so bold.
Their strikes beca heavier and heavier.
They had indeed harbored the intent to kill.
However, they imdiately discovered that, although their strikes grew heavier, Li Tongzhen kept being violently knocked back.
Yet it seed as if he couldn’t die no matter what.
On the contrary, their attacks only seed to rouse so sort of fighting spirit in the little beggar, as if he had gone mad and was determined to burst into Duke Zhen’s Mansion.
After several back and forths,
Li Tongzhen’s body trembled with pain, there was barely a piece of intact skin on him, his face was bloodied, and he was so ferocious that he looked like a vicious deity.
The four guards looked at Li Tongzhen in such state and couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"This beggar is very strange. Normally, after one blow from us, he would be dead or nearly so, but..."
"He can actually still stand up."
The guards exchanged looks and conversed in hushed tones.
"What do we do? Should we let him in?"
"Are you crazy? Letting a beggar into the mansion, if we were to be blad, we wouldn’t have a good ending."
"We should still go in and report this. The Princely Heir decides whether to see him or not, it’s out of our hands."
After the guards had discussed among themselves, one of them turned around, pushed open the gate, and quickly went inside to report.
And when he ca out again and laid eyes on Li Tongzhen, who was still rushing towards the gate of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, he couldn’t help but say,
he had developed so respect for this nearly grown beggar.
"Stop for now, I have already reported inside, and once the Princely Heir gets the ssage, if he wants to see you, you will be able to go in. If he doesn’t want to see you, there’s no use going inside the mansion, so you might as well leave directly."
"With the injuries you have now, if you delay any longer, even gods will find it difficult to save you."
The guard finished speaking indifferently and then stood in front of the gate like a statue, cold and motionless.
At this mont,
Li Tongzhen heard what the guard said, hesitating for a brief mont, then silently looked at the four guards for a while, and, covering his chest, he coughed and sat down under a nearby tree.
Blood flowed from his mouth, and within a short ti, it dripped down his arm onto the ground, pooling into a small puddle.
Mr. Zhao had not stopped Li Tongzhen since the beginning, and watching Li Tongzhen’s figure, he felt more complicated than he had imagined.
Although Li Tongzhen might not change anything, by persisting like this, he might really be able to bring back a glimr of life for that little girl.
Only...
Mr. Zhao walked over to Li Tongzhen, reached out gently to check his pulse, and his Qi flowed along his fingertips, circulating inside Li Tongzhen’s body for a round.
Just a brief sensation.
Mr. Zhao’s face couldn’t help but twitch, his expression complex as he looked at Li Tongzhen.
"Do you realize that your injuries are even more serious than the girl’s you’re trying to save?"
"Even if you do et the Crown Prince in the end, even if you manage to save her..."
"You probably..."

Upon hearing this, Li Tongzhen coughed a few tis, coughing up so more fresh blood, and he shook the blood off his hands.
"You, as an officer, should mind your own business. I killed soone; all you need to do is take back later, judge , and punish . Whether I live or die is none of your concern," said Li Tongzhen, his youthful face twitching slightly as he gave Mr. Zhao a smile that seed to radiate sunshine.
Mr. Zhao, looking at Li Tongzhen in such a state, felt an uneasiness in his heart.
Li Tongzhen’s body was now shattered, his internal organs tossed into disarray, and he was almost indistinguishable from being dead.
That he could still breathe and speak.
To describe it as the return of light was still an understatent.
Mr. Zhao sighed and sat down next to Li Tongzhen, accompanying him in waiting silently in the sa spot.
The four guards of Duke Zhen’s Mansion glanced at Mr. Zhao and Li Tongzhen, but said nothing more.
Ti slipped by.
After a while,
The heavy entrance hall door of Duke Zhen’s Mansion slowly opened.
Li Tongzhen lifted his eyelids weakly, looking towards the gate of Duke Zhen’s Mansion.
Li Tongzhen didn’t see any figures at the gate.
Just as he was about to get up and take a closer look,
"Princely Heir."
Then, Li Tongzhen heard the exceedingly respectful voices of the four guards at the gate of Duke Zhen’s Mansion.
Li Tongzhen, supporting his body with effort, directed his gaze towards the arrival.
He saw,
at the gate of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, the person was clad in a red robe, with hair as black as jade tied up with a silk ribbon, the hem of his garnt fluttering.
He had a jade-like appearance and a world-shocking elegance,
which caused everything around him to stand in awe.
Although Li Tongzhen had never t the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, at first glance, he recognized the identity of the person.
Li Tongzhen hadn’t expected,
That the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir would actually co out.
He had originally thought that even if the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir wanted to see him, he would likely only allow him into the mansion.
Now, to co out of the mansion to et him personally was beyond his belief.
Li Tongzhen was in disbelief, staring blankly at the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir.
He could see, in the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir’s black and profound eyes, a clear and tranquil gaze with a hint of a smile.
"Princely Heir," said Li Tongzhen, his youthful face slightly lowered, addressing the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir respectfully, his voice hoarse.
Cheng Guang observed Li Tongzhen.
When he heard a report from the servants that a beggar was continuously attempting to break through the gate, wishing to enter the mansion and see him,
The first na that ca to his mind was Li Tongzhen, the target of his system mission.
