Chapter 1740: Rise and Fall, the People's Suffering

he court's position."Su Jin said something reasonable, but the old man glared at her. He said, "You pretty girl, how can you be so unreasonable when you speak""The maritime ban has always been wrong....Chapter 1740: Rise and Fall, the People Suffer

Su Pingbei said awkwardly, "Actually, they were also trying to save me... A powerful Liao army general appeared at Yueya Pass, and almost drove us to a dead end. If it wasn't for the rescue from the Guza tribe, all of us brothers would have been wiped out at Yueya Pass."

Patting Su Pingbei's shoulder, Li Chen said, "A calamity never comes without its blessing. You, just like them, should go down and rest well first. In a few days, the decisive battle will be here, and I have a very important task for you."

Su Pingbei's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately exclaimed in a loud voice, "My subordinate will surely not disgrace his mission!"

After Su Ping went to rest, Xu Wei came to see him.

"Your Highness, we have news!"

Xu Wei's spirit was greatly lifted, he clasped his fists and said: "Previously, Your Highness ordered me to seek the whereabouts of the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Now I have received definite and reliable news. The high-ranking officials of the White Lotus Sect are currently collecting precious herbs on a large scale. Following this clue, we used the method of impersonating a medicine peddler to find out where these medicines were ultimately delivered. It is located 120 miles east of Suiyang County, in Yulin Prefecture."

"Yulin Prefecture"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Have you investigated it in detail"

Xu Wei shook his head and said, "Because we were worried about Jianxin, that celestial being from the mortal world, being present, so our people didn't get too close, lest we startle him."

Li Chen got up and walked to the map. One hundred and twenty miles east, a round trip would be two hundred and forty miles. Plus the time lost in the middle... it was barely possible to make the journey back and forth in a day.

"Set off at once for Yulin Prefecture."

Li Chen said: "This matter needs to be handled discreetly, without making a fuss. Find a few trusted aides and act casually."

Xu Wei immediately replied, "Your humble servant obeys."

With war imminent, Li Chen urgently needs high-end combat power.

He certainly hasn't forgotten that there are two half-step Earth Immortals beside Yelü Shenxuan.

Although on the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops are slaughtered, even a true earthly immortal would be defeated, this ceiling-level combat power has always been used for assassination missions.

If Yelu Shenxuan's half-step Earth Immortal got close, and there was no one around to protect himself, it would be a sure death.

The most important point is that Li Chen has a relic on him that can save Gong Huiyu, and we also have to thank Master Jue An for his generous gift.

He might not be too keen on it himself, but that doesn't matter, does it Who cares what a dead person thinks anyway.

An hour later, Li Chen informed Wu Qingcang of his intention to go out. While others could keep it a secret, Wu Qingcang had to be informed.

After assuring Wu Qincang repeatedly that he would return quickly and safely, without any mishap, Li Chen, accompanied by Xu Wei and seven or eight trusted subordinates, left Suiyang County directly.

This time, for the sake of keeping a low profile and being cautious, Li Chen didn't even bring Xiao Wangzi and Wan Jiajiao.

Currently, virtually everyone in Gansu and Shaanxi knows that the prince is accompanied by an eunuch and a maidservant wherever he goes. It's quite conspicuous when they go out.

After leaving Suiyang County, Li Chen and his group galloped eastward.

One hundred and twenty miles, along the way there was a county town and several villages, but under the Qin army's policy of clearing the fields and walls, these places were all deserted, with no one in sight. The entire world was desolate and barren, making one feel as if they had arrived at the end of days.

Li Chen let out a light sigh and said, "This world has always been ruled by a small handful of people in power. The common people at the bottom can only endure whatever comes their way."Highness," Gualjia Aoqin said immediately. "We have a special method for information transmission. We can send the message back to the country within a day, and tomorrow at this time, I will come to s...
