a simple formality. She forced herself to endure the touch of Li Chen's hand and replied, "Things are going fairly well. Last year, with the imperial court providing silver and grain, the disaster sit...Chapter 1471: If You Don't Want to Lose, Then Listen to Me

"Prince, are you going to put me under house arrest"

King Ning's patience was wearing thin, he stared at Li Chen, forcing down his anger and said.

"Yes."

Li Chen nodded and answered directly.

It didn't even have the most basic disguise.

Before the Prince of Ning could speak, a loud and clear proclamation echoed from outside.

"Your Highness, outside Yuecang Pass, eighty miles away, a large army appeared, flying the Golden Kingdom's flag. This force camped eighty miles out and did not advance further. Outside Yuecang Pass' city gates, someone requested entry, claiming to be the thirteenth brother of the Golden Kingdom, Huangji Tian, and requesting an audience with Your Highness."

This report instantly eased the oppressive atmosphere in the somber hall.

Everyone was overjoyed except for King Ning.

And while the words reached King Ning's lips, he swallowed them back down. His face flickered with uncertainty, lost in thought.

Li Chen, however, ignored him and waved his hand: "Please come in."

This address, to be frank, acknowledges the identity of Huangjitian and sets the tone for this meeting.

It is a joy to have friends come from afar.

Having seen the Emperor's Extreme Heaven, it was naturally impossible to remain in this spirit hall. Therefore, Li Chen went directly to the city lord's mansion council chamber, and King Ning followed silently all the way.

No one knew what he was thinking, but he followed along the whole way. Li Chen didn't speak, and no one stopped him.

or perhaps, even trying to stop it would be futile.

The Moonlit Gate was teeming with people, but besides Li Chen, no one else caught the King of Ning's eye.

In the City Lord's Mansion council hall, Li Chen had just arrived when the valiant Huang Ji Tian came with several guards.

"Imperial Sovereign of the Jin Dynasty, I have met His Highness, the Prince of the Great Qin."

Huangji Tian bowed deeply, seeing Li Chen and took the initiative to bow and greet him.

Li Chen laughed heartily, strode to the front of Huangji Tian, and patted his shoulder saying, “You have not let this palace down.”

The Heavenly Emperor, Huangji, smirked and said, “How could I possibly break a gentleman’s agreement”

"Have all three hundred thousand soldiers arrived" Li Chen asked.

"Here I am."

The Heavenly Emperor nodded, arrogantly saying: "These three hundred thousand soldiers are all the most elite troops of my Jin country. Among them, there are two hundred thousand elite cavalry, fifty thousand heavy cavalry, and fifty thousand infantry."

Having said that, Huangji Tian lightly smiled at Li Chen and said: "Grand Qin's Crown Prince, this time I have put all my chips on you. Don't let me down."

Huangji Tian wasn't joking.

This 300,000 strong army, even if the Jin country's sovereign sent it out, would be under immense pressure, and the decision was made almost single-mindedly against the opinions of the majority.

If this 300,000 army met with problems, or even failed to achieve the expected results, it would be a grave crime.

Such crimes, of course, need to be accounted for.

The sovereign can't possibly take the blame for this, so the person ultimately responsible has to be Huangji Tian.

At that time, Emperor Huangji Tian didn't even dare to think about seizing the throne, his own head wasn't safe.

Li Chen sank his voice, "How am I any different Rest assured, in this battle, there's no reason for either of us to lose."

Although Li Chen's words sounded a bit boastful, optimism is always better than pessimism in this situation. The arrow is already nocked, and both of them have staked everything they have. Of course, they can't afford to lose.

Li Chen lowered his voice and said to Huangji Tian, "If you don't want to lose, you have to listen to me."

Huangji Tian raised an eyebrow, hesitating: "I'm fine, but these 300,000 soldiers aren't all mine. There are also several generals who came here on a mission."ointless to quibble now. The fact that His Highness came himself gives you a dignified choice. Mentioning Lord Guan's service to the East Palace just now was a way of telling Lord Guan that His Highne...
