Chapter 266: The Empress Has ArrivedChapter 1674: Using a Knife to Kill

Huangji Tian let out a long sigh, recalling every detail of his interactions with Li Chen.

From the initial disdain, to the later trepidation, and finally to the awe-inspiring admiration, Huangji Tian himself doesn't even know what he feels for Li Chen... Although it sounds a bit dramatic, Huangji Tian has to admit that Li Chen's appearance has changed many things about him.

He unconsciously began to imitate Li Chen, in both his way of thinking and his everyday words and actions.

This discovery made Huangji Tian feel ashamed for a while.

He felt he didn't need to imitate anyone at all, and Li Chen wasn't a perfect person either, but... ever since he started imitating Li Chen's thinking habits to consider things, he really found that many difficulties were much, much easier to solve than before.

“Such a man is either a ruler for the ages or...he ends up losing so badly that even in death he is still feared. Then, from history books, folklore, and literature, all traces of his existence are erased from every angle, leaving him to become a nameless, unspeakable entity in obscure historical accounts.”

Fucha Huanzhen's eyes grew deep. He said, "The heir apparent of the Qin Dynasty is such a person, for the Jin state, I am afraid it is not a good thing."

Huangji Tian let out a light chuckle and said, "But right now, he's my best ally."

Fucha Huanzhen, upon hearing this, no longer spoke further.

He went on this trip as an observer, ostensibly to supervise. But in reality, he was only watching Huangji Tian. He didn't influence Huangji Tian's decisions or actions with words or deeds, merely observing him and meticulously recording and reporting everything that happened. This is what a qualified supervisor should do.

But if he could, he wouldn't mind using this opportunity to observe the character and disposition of the Crown Prince of Qin.

"Honor and wealth."

The Emperor of Heaven shouted.

Guā'ěr Jiārónglù stepped forward and performed a bow with an impassive face. “Please, Thirteenth Brother, give your orders,” he said.

Since the last incident, although he had sought support from his connections back home and his elder brother, all he received was a scolding. He now understood that no matter how much resentment he held, as long as Huangji Tian lost, he would suffer the most. There was no need for him to seek revenge. However, if Huangji Tian won, what he needed to consider wouldn't be revenge, but his own survival.

Since even the eldest brother in our country has chosen to observe quietly, what's the point of me making a fuss

It's better to deal with things yourself than rely on officials, even if you anger the supreme authority. If he angered Heaven, he truly did himself in and no one would speak up for him.

The thought of defying orders with the elite cavalry under his command never crossed Gua'erjia Ronglu's mind.

At any dynasty, under any ruler, it would be absolutely impossible to allow a general who could disobey orders and lead troops at will. Regardless of whether the person giving the order was right or wrong, once an order is defied, the consequence would inevitably be the annihilation of his entire family, even the elder brother wouldn't be able to protect him.

"According to the time, the prince of the Qin dynasty will arrive soon. You should go out personally to greet him, and I'll be there shortly."

Guan Jia Ronglu gritted his teeth and said, "This subordinate will obey your orders."

Watching Guarjia Ronglu's departing figure, Huangji Tian muttered, "There's no way around it, don't blame me for being ruthless. If I want to completely control the 300,000 army, Ronglu ah Ronglu, I can't keep you."

This remark, though soft-spoken, was loud enough for Fucha Huan to hear it clearly.

He remained silent, as still and composed as a meditating monk.

On this side, Guarjia Ronglu arrived outside the military camp and sure enough saw a rider approaching from afar.

At this time, the only one who could bypass the scouts and arrive directly at the Jin army's central camp was the prince of Great Qin.

Closing his eyes, Gua'erjia Ronglu suddenly had a daring thought: If he killed the prince of Qin in the camp, how could Huangjitian win his outrageous betll.He kept looking at Yelü Qiming."Lord Zheng."Li Chen called out softly.Zheng Baorong jumped to Li Chen's side and whispered, "Here, here.""There is a traitorous leader from the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Qi...
