Chapter 50: The Crown Prince of the Qin Empire

esitate for a while, this palace will reduce the number of soldiers going on expedition by a thousand. It doesn't matter, this palace has plenty of time and can waste it."Li Chen's words made Jin Luya...Chapter 50: The Crown Prince of the Qin Empire

Two words hit the ground, no one expected it.

Most of the people present were children of officials. But their biggest struggle was just for face, vying for attention and showing off. With elders from each family watching over them, nothing major ever came out of it in the end.

But right now, the two words "Li Chen" directly pulled them into a bloody and brutally realistic world.

Even Zhao Tailai widened his eyes in disbelief.

He didn't believe Li Chen had the guts to do that.

The Jinyiwei, no matter who you are, will follow Li Chen's orders without hesitation if he gives them.

A Jinyiwei drew his embroidered spring knife, the blade flashed, and blood appeared instantly.

This strike was both satisfying and chilling. It drove home Li Chen's dominance and ferocity, etching it into the very bones of everyone present.

This unknown, but undoubtedly terrifying madman, actually killed without any hesitation whatsoever.

The youth didn't even have time to let out a scream before collapsing to the ground. A pool of blood spread beneath him, and his eyes widened in disbelief and terror as he breathed his last.

"Hang the body in the attic, to wake up these so-called gentry."

Li Chen swept his gaze over the dozen or so pale-faced soldiers. "What about all of you You're just dogs because his father is a colonel Have you forgotten who pays your wages Is this skin you wear to uphold justice and serve the people, or to be a dog for these officials' children!"

At this moment, the dozen or so soldiers were terrified.

They all knelt on the ground, begging for mercy frantically.

"The Jinyiwei will take them all back and interrogate them individually, according to the law," Li Chen said.

After dealing with those, Li Chen looked at the young masters again. They all immediately lowered their heads when they saw Li Chen looking at them, no one dared to meet his gaze.

As noble scions, everything you wear, use, and gain is a gift from the empire. Each of you has the best conditions yet you don't think about how to repay the court and the nation, but instead you abuse your ancestors' power for your own selfish desires. Do you truly believe that this vast Qin empire belongs to you to rule!

Li Chen rebuked, "You lot are raised with tender skin and soft flesh, yet you can't pacify the world with your words nor stabilize the heavens and earth with your martial arts. You're simply a waste of food."

In the attic, besides the sound of the wind, there was only Li Chen's scolding.

A group of people were scolded by Li Chen so badly that they couldn't even lift their heads, and no one dared to retort.

Zhao Tailai's heart raced, his breathing quickened, and he felt an overwhelming surge of agitation.

At this moment, Li Chen's eyes fell on him.

But surprisingly, Li Chen didn't say anything to him. After giving him a chilling look, he turned his head and looked at Su Jinpa.

For some reason, Zhao Tailai actually breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became nervous again.

What does it mean if he doesn't say anything

< > Does he consider himself a dead man already < >

"This composition, "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion," was just written offhand. If Miss Jinpa likes it, I'll give it to her. It just needs a signature."

Saying that, Li Chen took back the < Tengwang Pavilion Preface > from Su Jinping's hand, then took out a square seal from his bosom and was about to press it on the place where the paper was signed.

Before the seal could even be pressed, Sānbǎo hurried up from downstairs and whispered in Lǐ Chén's ear: "Your Highness, Liú Bīn, a commander of the Imperial Guards, has reported unusual activity."

Li Chen's movements froze, and he said, "Understood."

After saying that, Li Chen used his arm to exert force, and the seal landed precisely and firmly on the designated place for signing at the bottom of the paper.

After finishing this, Li Chen handed the Xuan paper to Su Jinpa and casually placed the jade pendant in her hand.

"As it is a betrothal gift, it should be kept by the young lady."

After he finished speaking, Li Chen didn't give Su Jinpa a chance to react and immediately continued, "I still have some worldly affairs to attend to and can't stay long. I'll see you next time."

After saying that, Li Chen left with the three treasures, not even turning back.

Looking at Li Chen's back, Su Jinpa only felt that this person was incredibly strange for a moment.

To call him a scoundrel, he left with such finality.

Say he's deliberately being a loner, but he seems to have something important to do.

To call him pretentious is an understatement; this poem he's holding, it's beyond the reach of ordinary people.

As if remembering something, Su Jinpa thought back to the seal he had just pressed onto the rice paper, and hurriedly lowered his head to look.

"The crown prince of the Qin Empire, Li Chenyin."y Zhao Xuanji and Wang Tenghuan, produced vastly different results, which is enough to show the difference in their skill levels.After saying all that, Li Chen did not scold Zhao Xuanji as angrily as...
