felt a shiver run down his spine at those words."Should we discuss this with the chancellor first"Yelü Shenxuan didn't want to help Yuan Shidao with this at all.One hundred boys and one hundred girls,...Chapter 633: Return of the Troops

That about wraps it up for this topic.

Ye Lu Gu Zan Qi looked at Li Chen, his face expressionless, and said: "The prince of the Qin Dynasty is quite ambitious. However, I hope you are not only good at talking."

"Fight back on the battlefield That sounds nice, but unfortunately, it takes soldiers to fight and win. And your Qin army... hehe..."

Speaking of which, Yelü Guzanqi’s disdainful expression was blatant, his lips curling into a mocking smirk. Then, with an air of nonchalance, he clasped his hands together and said, "Since the Qin Empire is unwilling to accept my Liao's cooperation, then this king takes his leave!"

He gave Li Chen a deep look and Yelu Guzan said again, "Until we meet on the battlefield!"

Having spoken, Yelu Guzanqi turned his head and was about to leave.

Just as he turned, he heard the sound of a large force of soldiers approaching rapidly outside the East Palace.

Having spent most of his life in the military, Yelü Guzanqi was intimately familiar with the sounds of horses' hooves and soldiers' footsteps. Just by listening, he could tell that this was a force of one thousand to one thousand two hundred men, with roughly seventy percent being cavalry.

Most importantly, although the footsteps were hurried, they weren't chaotic. They pounded against the ground, producing a dull sound like a drumbeat or raindrops—dense and rhythmic.

Among the clatter of hooves keeping time with each stride, a rhythm emerges, weaving an exquisite beauty that transcends the experience of ordinary people.

As a nation on the steppe, Yelu Guguzhi had been around horses and armies since birth. He could tell just by listening that this thousand-man force was definitely elite, hardened veterans of battle!

This level of elite-ness, even if placed in the Liao Kingdom, could be considered an absolute ace cavalry unit.

Originally, Yelü Guzan's steps were about to take him forward, but suddenly they froze in place.

Is this a demonstration of power by the prince of Qin

Or was he never really planning to let himself leave alive

Seeing that he was about to leave soon, but suddenly something happened, which immediately made Yelü Guzanqi's mood uneasy.

Outside the Eastern Palace, in his unease, a squad of soldiers with stern faces and murderous intent had arrived at the gate.

"My general has returned, open the main gate!"

Li Chen laughed and ordered.

This is just an ordinary household. Unless a very distinguished guest arrives, the main gate would rarely be opened. Typically, the homeowner enters and exits through a side door.

The main gate is only opened during major holidays or when the most distinguished guests visit.

Only the emperor or the crown prince himself could order the East Palace main gate to be opened.

Therefore, the main gate of the East Palace was wide open, which was a great honor.

Yelü Guzanqi wanted to leave but he couldn't.

As the main gate of the East Palace slowly opened, he could clearly see that over a thousand soldiers on the square in front of the palace were lined up with their flags waving. Each soldier stood straight as an arrow.

Not even the neighing of horses could be heard, let alone the clamour and noise.

These over a thousand people simply stood there, and an overwhelming sense of murderous aura swept towards them.

Looking at the ironclad army before him, Yelu Guzanzhi's eyelids twitched.

Just like his previous guess, this team, even if placed in the Liao Kingdom, would be the most formidable.

If all of Qin's forces were like this, then Liao wouldn't need to bother, they should just surrender.

No matter how Yelu Guzanqi pondered, the troops were divided. A young general walked swiftly from the ranks and arrived before the East Palace gate. He knelt excitedly halfway, raised his hand, and shouted loudly: "I am Su Pingbei, reporting to Your Highness with orders to return to court. Please inspect our troops!"money house project, the better.This effectively cuts off Zhao Xuanji's possibility of planting people here and trying to pick the fruits.By the time everyone realized what kind of monster Li Chen had...
