it must be related to the East Palace's move this time."Said Zhao Xuanji in a grave tone. "That confidant whispered, “The people at Huolong Taoist Temple in the southern suburbs have been discovered....Chapter 604: What's Missing Most Is Unexpectedness

Listening to Sanbao's report, Li Chen finished the last mouthful of porridge in his bowl.

Without him having to say a word, Wan Jiaojiao immediately reached out and handed him the handkerchief she had already prepared to wipe his mouth.

After wiping his mouth, Li Chen handed the handkerchief to Wan Jiajiao and turned his head to ask, "Yelü Manhuang is much older than my father, isn't he"

"Sān Bǎo nodded and said, "Yelü Màn Huāng is now sixty-five years old, which is considered old age, but his body has also declined. Now the wind is rising in the Liao Dynasty, all because of the struggle for the throne. It's just that the prince's faction is the strongest. If nothing unexpected happens, after Yelü Màn Huāng, it should be Yelü Shén Xuán who ascends the throne."

With a light chuckle, Li Chen said, "In this world, what's most abundant are surprises."

After that, Li Chen changed the subject and asked, "When Yelu Guzan was transferred to the border with Great Qin, which of our generals in Great Qin fought against him"

San Bao whispered, "Several commanders have clashed with him before, but the scale was not large. The number of people involved was generally in the thousands. Both sides restrained each other and did not engage in large-scale battles exceeding ten thousand."

"How's your record" Li Chen asked again.

The Three Treasures bowed their heads and replied, "All was a disastrous defeat."

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and sighed softly: "No wonder he dared to come to the capital so openly. He must have figured that the Qin Dynasty was weak and had no way to deal with him."

A flash of light crossed Sanbao's eyes as he said, "If your Highness needs it, this servant can kill him in the capital."

"Does it matter"

Li Chen said calmly, "The truly formidable aspect of Yelü Guzanqi isn't him personally, but the Liao nation he represents. Killing one Yelü Guzanqi means facing the wrath of hundreds of thousands of Liao cavalry. You can kill one, ten, or even a hundred, but how many can you possibly kill In the end, it would be Da Qin who suffers."

Between nations, unless it is an emperor, killing any individual from the other side is meaningless.

Struggles between nations, the life and death of one or several individuals, cannot fundamentally affect the overall situation.

Otherwise, everyone would just give up fighting and focus on cultivating martial arts masters like San Bao. They could just assassinate each other instead.

"After all, the weaponry of the Qin state was just too weak."

Li Chen then asked, "Where was Cao Zhijing Erlang taken"

"We've already passed Liaodong, and we'll be in the capital in a day or two," Sanbao replied.

"Okay."

Nodding, Li Chen stood up and said, "Get ready, this palace is going out of the palace to meet this Yelü Guzanqi. Let's see if he really is three-headed and six-armed."

Although Sān Bǎo thought that Li Chen's private contact with Yelü Guzanqi was a very dangerous thing, he didn't dare to question Li Chen's decision. He immediately agreed and then withdrew to prepare to leave.

Li Chen raised his head and said to Gong Huiyu, who was standing afar, her beauty as delicate as a faint orchid, "Will you accompany me out"

Although phrased as a question, the tone leaves no room for doubt.

Gong Huiyu thought for a moment, then said: “I will be in the shadows.”

Nodding with a smile, Li Chen no longer pressed the issue.

Go and find Yelü Guzanqi, even Sān Bǎo thinks this is dangerous. How could Li Chen rest assured without taking sufficient precautions

Three things are evident: the three treasures, and in hidden places there are feathers of palace insignia. Li Chen felt his safety concerns were no longer a worry.

Soon, the three treasures were ready.

Li Chen, attended to by Wan Jiaojiao, changed into a new set of clothes.

But Wan Jiaojiao just pouted the whole time.

looked wronged and hesitant to speak.

"This trip isn't for pleasure, it's dangerous. You wait here in the palace."

Li Chen gave such an order and no longer cared how Wan Jiaojiao felt. He took San Bao and Gong Huiyu, who was following secretly, out of the East Palace.

Since Yelü Guzanqi took the initiative to contact the imperial court, his residence would naturally not be hard to find. Following the intelligence, they arrived at a luxurious mansion. Before Li Chen even entered, a corpse flew out from inside.he imperial edict and was now frowning, a wry smile on his face."Your Highness, this young Master Xu lacks experience and appears somewhat immature."The methods used to handle the problem were too ext...
