Chapter 940: Bet on the Crown Prince, Not Qin

price was 850 taels of silver. Prince Wenwang personally handed the scroll to the young man with a flushed face, exchanged a few polite words, and then announced in a loud voice, “This 850 taels is a...Chapter 940: Not Betting on Qin, But on the Prince

Huangji Tian's seemingly reckless and inexperienced bluntness, in Li Chen's eyes, carried the meaning of one force subduing ten.

There are not as many twists and turns, but it has made things more complicated instead.

In just a few breaths, Li Chen had already thought about many things.

Then he smiled and said, "Your reasoning is sound."

Huangji Tian’s eyes lit up and he said, “The Crown Prince of Great Qin not holding a grudge is already a generous act. Thank you, Crown Prince of Great Qin.”

Waving his hand, Li Chen said, "Listen to this palace finish speaking."

"The Liao kingdom chose this time to come to the Qin Dynasty for cooperation, wanting to borrow a path through the Yueya Pass. They also considered this aspect. I won't hide it from you, there are people from the Liao kingdom within the core level of the Qin Dynasty court."

Li Chen said calmly, “Therefore, the Liao Kingdom's understanding of the turmoil in the Qin Dynasty's political affairs far exceeds your Jin Kingdom's.”

In other words, if the Qin court is stable, why would this palace cooperate with you instead of Liao After all, dividing Liao is dividing, and dividing Jin is also dividing.

Upon hearing this, Huangji Tian was slightly taken aback.

And the two attendants he brought with him eyed Li Chen unfavorably.

Li Chen didn't even glance at them. On this Xizheng Hall, the two attendants weren't qualified to speak or make faces.

Huangji Tian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Since the Liao Kingdom is taking advantage of the turmoil in the Qin Dynasty to propose a passage, they are most likely using this as a cover. Their true target is actually the Qin Dynasty."

Li Chen let out a hearty laugh and said, “You make a good point. It's definitely possible.”

Then, Wang Huangji didn't climb the pole upward. Li Chen followed up, saying: "Why don't we make a bet If Liao Guo's target is our Great Qin, then it's just bad luck for Great Qin. I will bear all the bitter fruit myself."

"But if the Liao's real target is your Jin Kingdom, then it will be your Jin Kingdom that suffers the consequences."

"With the fates of our two nations as the stakes, Huangji Tian, dare you step onto the field and play a game with this palace"

Huangjitian's brows furrowed, then creased deeper and deeper.

His expression was conflicted and grave, he didn't dare answer Li Chen's words easily.

Li Chen wasn't in a hurry to urge him, and gave Huangji Tian plenty of time to think it over.

The Emperor, after weighing things carefully for a long time on both sides, finally spoke: “I cannot.”

These three words, admitting defeat very readily.

"I am merely a prince of the Jin Dynasty. My father has not granted me much power. I have no authority to make such a major decision, even if I did, I would not dare to gamble the fate of the nation."

Li Chen smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's it. So why don't we put aside all other external factors and have a good talk If the two countries cooperate, how should we cooperate"

The Sovereign of the Heavenly Extreme nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed."

At this point, his attendants panicked.

A man walked up to the ear of Huangji Tian and whispered something in his ear, speaking very quickly and seeming quite flustered.

Li Chen smiled and took a sip of tea from his cup, showing no intention of interrupting.

Huangji Tian, after hearing his attendant's words, frowned and said, "I know about this."

But the 13th brother...

"Fine, I said I had it figured out." Huangji Tian glared at the other person with displeasure.

Only then did he lower his head and take a step back.

Turning around, Huangji Tian cupped his hands to Li Chen and said, “Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, the cooperation between the two countries can be discussed later. My Jin Kingdom is willing to send three thousand Blood Droplets to serve you.”, Li, Ganxian, and Feng!"These personal guards were all confidants whom Wu Bān shān had cultivated over many years. Hearing Wu Bān shān's order, they didn't hesitate at all, walked directly behind the...
