distribute New Year's gifts to officials. The shortage happens to be this amount, so it's not surprising."Zhao Xuanji said faintly, "Thirty thousand is good, one hundred and ten thousand is also good...Chapter 1447: Since it is within the territory of the Great Qin, why would it be unsafe
Li Chen's voice, melodious and far-reaching, echoed through the distance.
Inside a small tent in the military camp, a group of high-ranking officers from the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders were crammed together.
The burly man sitting in the center right, almost two meters tall, with his palms spread wide like fans, was about to get up and walk out when he heard this.
But before he could get up, he was stopped by a scholarly general with a long beard standing beside him.
"General Ye, please stay."
Ye Wang turned his head and stared at Li Songru, saying in a deep voice, "The prince has provoked us to the military camp gate, killed my brother, and even named you and me to go out. Do you want me to be a turtle hiding its head"
Li Songru said calmly, "Let's observe for a while. General Ye is in such a hurry to leave; isn't he afraid of facing the prince's questioning"
Ye Wang coldly smiled and said, “With Yan Yun Sixteen Riders and 150,000 elite soldiers here, what can he possibly use to question this general”
Li Songru frowned slightly and said, "Well then, I'll ask you this. Didn't you forget what King Ning told us before we left"
Yè Wàng remembered that before he left, the King of Ning had repeatedly urged him to obey Li Sōngrú's orders. He felt a surge of anger but couldn't bring himself to defy the order, so he could only grit his teeth and sit back down sullenly.
Li Songru, seeing Ye Wang submit, said in a gentle voice: "In terms of bravery on the battlefield, I am inferior to General Ye. But when dealing with the prince, General Ye should heed my advice more."
Then I'll see how you deal with him!" Ye Wang said angrily.
At this time, outside the military camp, the atmosphere was exceptionally tense.
Less than twenty steps in front of Li Chen stood a cavalry unit of over twenty men.
With their lances in hand, they were only a flick of the reins away from reaching Li Chen. A single leap from their horses would put them within striking distance.
Wu Ban Shan walked to Li Chen's side and whispered, "Your Highness, please move to a safe area."
"Safety"
Li Chen turned his head and glanced at Wu Ban Shan, saying, "Isn't this the territory of the Qin state"
Wu Ban Shan was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Of course."
Since it's the territory of the Qin state, why wouldn't I be safe
Li Chen's question left Wu Ban Shan speechless.
Li Chen turned his head and looked at the ordinary soldier who had stopped Xu Wei at the beginning, asking, “Where are you from”
The soldier obviously hadn't expected Li Chen to ask him questions. After a moment of stunned silence, he subconsciously replied, "I, I am from Weishui."
"This palace knows, it's not far from here, and I can be considered a genuine person from Gansu and Shaanxi."
"The largest tributary of the Yellow River is located in Guanzhong, and it is also the origin of Chinese civilization. It is the genuine bloodline of the descendants of Yan Huang."
Li Chen's words made the soldier stand up straight with pride.
"Throughout the Guan Zhong region, there were many righteous and valiant men. When Emperor Taizu founded the dynasty, three thousand valiant warriors from Guan Zhong each stood tall as pillars of strength. They followed Emperor Taizu in countless battles, achieving remarkable military feats. After the founding of the nation, Emperor Taizu once said: 'The hundred tributaries of the Wei River nurture the boundless chivalrous spirit of heaven and earth.'"
"But one wonders if the valiant men of Guan Zhong from those days would still recognize the descendants of Taizu"
This sentence left the soldier blushing and ashamed.
Li Chen turned his head and casually picked another cavalryman, asking, "Where are you from"
The mounted warrior fell silent for a moment before replying, "My ancestors hailed from beyond the pass, belonging to a nomadic tribe that submitted to Qin. After settling within the pass, our people thrived and multiplied, but we have no lineage tracing back to the legendary Yan and Huang."
The cavalryman's face wore a defiant expression, thinking to himself, "I'm not even from your Central Plains, what could you possibly say to me"
Yet, Li Chen calmly said: "The Great Qin is the heavenly empire of China, with dozens of affiliated states. From as close as the Ryukyu Kingdom and as far as Tubo and Western Regions, tribes on the grasslands have struggled to survive, yearning for Central Plains culture. The Great Qin has never rejected them and always embraced all cultures."again.He is more afraid of death than anyone.Now he, as long as he doesn't go out of his way to die, even if he just stays in the East Palace every day, when his cheap father dies, he will be the next...
