at a disadvantage and risks going to war!""Your Highness is right, national dignity is earned through force, but it is not achieved through reckless aggression. One must show forbearance for the sake...Chapter 751: Please Spare Me, Your Highness

For maximum security, Li Chen had the guards of his East Palace always under the control of Su Pingbei's Imperial Guard.

But ultimately, the Jinyiwei was the force Li Chen relied on most, and their individual combat prowess far surpassed that of the regular army's Yulinwei. Therefore, among the East Palace's defensive forces, the guards at the level of Commander were all drawn from the Jinyiwei.

Besides, the Dongchang in Beijing serves as the headquarters, with all Jinyiwei members being the elite among the elite. Sanbao can accurately call out the names of each of them, along with their life histories. All of this is only possible after Sanbao's nod of approval before they can hold any official position within the Jinyiwei system in the capital.

So when he saw a few familiar names on the list, Sanzang was greatly astonished.

“This list belongs to Zhao Xuanji’s contacts. It can be confirmed that once an accident happens, they will immediately become Zhao Xuanji’s people. Most of them are high-ranking military officials. The others you know – either my palace guard commander or the head of your Dongchang Jinyiwei.”

The more Li Chen spoke, the deeper the shock and anger in Sandaobao's heart became.

With a smile, Li Chen put down his teacup and said calmly, "No wonder I have been attacked repeatedly. Those assassins were mostly from the White Lotus Sect. Zhao Xuanji hasn't made a move yet. Who knows what would happen if Zhao Xuanji decides to make a move one day Will I be killed by my own captain of the guard"

Upon hearing this, the Third Treasure could no longer hold back his emotions and knelt on the ground with a thud.

But Sanbao was no ordinary person. He didn't desperately push back or beg for mercy like a normal person would at this time. Instead, he accurately grasped Li Chen's needs and said, "Please give the slave some time, after the slave personally deals with these treacherous people, then come to plead guilty to Your Highness."

The attitude was clever, but that wasn't what Li Chen wanted.

Li Chen frowned and said lightly, "You want Zhao Xuanji to know that this palace has this list as soon as possible"

The Three Treasures were taken aback.

He was eager to appease Li Chen's anger, but he forgot the most crucial thing.

This list in Li Chen's hands, that is a big killer, but this big killer can only be used once, and it will be scrapped after one use.

No matter where it's used, it cannot be used on people on the blacklist.

Once Zhao Xuanji took action, he would immediately become alert.

Then the list became useless.

This list, seemingly pointing out the names of traitors, is in reality Zhao Xuanji's death warrant.

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness," Sanzang said, pressing his forehead to the ground and speaking in a trembling voice.

Li Chen let out a cold snort and said, "This palace originally thought that you have a discerning eye for people, at least those around you can be trusted. I didn't expect you to disappoint this palace."

"I am guilty of a thousand deaths, a thousand deaths!"

Waving his hand to stop San Bao's pointless chatter, Li Chen said, "Hold off on those two guards from the East Palace for now, but you can deal with the few people in Dongchang. Test Zhao Xuanji's reaction and see what he does. Keep an eye on everyone else who shouldn't be touched. If anything happens, report it immediately. If word gets out, come apologize to me with your head."

Sān Bǎo heard this and, gritting his teeth, said: "Your Highness is gracious. This servant will go do it at once."

Li Chen cast a deep glance at San Bao and said indifferently, "Considering you've protected me several times and have done your best for this palace, I won't punish you for now. Once everything settles down, I will deal with you together. Take care of yourself." best throughout Liao after thousands of rounds of scrutiny. Once His Highness passes through, he will immediately be surrounded, with no chance of survival."This made Li Chen's brows furrow sharply.L...
