Chapter 639: Your Highness, Impressive Skills

    

is now entrusted to you."Li Chen finished his words, and regardless of Xu Wei's flushed face with excitement, he looked at the civil and military officials whose expressions were as uncomfortable as h...Chapter 639, Your Highness, What Skill!

"Face"

"Could it be that Your Highness is trying to tell this palace that saving face means politely and respectfully sending a thief who has broken into your home out the door Is that what saving face means"

Li Chen let out a cold snort. Immediately, the smile on his face vanished, replaced by a frigid expression as he stated, "I know that your Liao country is not wealthy and silver is scarce. Therefore, eight million taels of silver and fifteen thousand steeds."

Seeing that Yelü Guzanqi was still haggling, Li Chen directly interrupted: "Stop haggling. Doesn't the royal status of your prince deserve this price If the Liao kingdom can't even afford this price, then perhaps your prince should stay in Great Qin. We are hospitable people in Great Qin and will certainly ensure your comfort and safety until you leave."

Yelü Guzanqi clenched his fist suddenly, the knuckles in his palm crackling with violence.

At this moment, he could feel the presence of two masters who were secretly protecting him. Their energy was hidden, but ready to move at his command. With a single word, they would appear and forcibly break through with him.

But at the same time, he sensed two equally powerful auras lurking within the palace walls behind Li Chen.

Those two auras must be the man and woman who appeared when Yelu Qiming was killed today.

Then look behind yourself, at the over a thousand soldiers arrayed menacingly. Hundreds of archers on the flanks have even begun to draw their bows and prepare to fire at the commander’s subtle suggestion.

This is a blatant threat, right in his face, a display of force.

Yelü Guzan did not doubt that if he ordered his accomplices to break through, hundreds of arrows would rain down in several volleys immediately. It would be difficult for the three of them to withstand such a barrage.

Just then, Li Chen languidly told Su Pingbei, "Bring out the God-Machine Crossbows from the God-Machine Camp for the Prince to admire."

Su Pingbei immediately issued a military order, and a passage was opened in the army formation.

With twitching eyes, Yelü Guzanqi watched as six soldiers per group, a total of six groups, each pushed out a massive crossbow emitting an ominous black glow.

Each ballista was equipped with nine specially crafted arrows, each as thick as a table leg and arranged in neat rows. The arrowheads glinted with a metallic sheen, large enough to rival a child's fist.

This thing, Yelu Guzanqi is all too familiar with.

It was one of the most advanced strategic weapons of the Qin Dynasty.

The Crescent Gate has always been equipped with this kind of divine machine crossbow, and over the years, who knows how many Liao soldiers died under this divine machine crossbow.

It fired once, unleashing nine arrows with a range of three hundred steps. Within that distance, it could pierce both man and horse, leaving them riddled with holes. If you were unlucky, you'd be strung together like candied fruit, a truly terrifying sight.

If the hundreds of archers before could turn themselves into hedgehogs with their arrows, then this divine machine crossbow would probably shoot them to pieces, not even leaving a hole.

Taking a deep breath, Yelü Guzanqi immediately made a wise choice.

"Get me a pen and paper!"

Mission accomplished.

Li Chen waved his hand, and immediately, an expert from the Dongchang appeared, taking Yelu Guzan to a soft confinement.

During this time, the Three Treasures would personally lead a team to guard Yelü Guzanqi. Moreover, he would be kept under house arrest in the East Factory's prison. Even if those two mysterious masters appeared to forcibly rescue him, Li Chen had arranged for over a thousand elite soldiers to be stationed within the East Factory. Therefore, Li Chen was not afraid of anything happening at all.

Turning around, Li Chen's gaze fell upon Zhao Xuanji who had remained silent throughout.

Noticing Li Chen's gaze, Zhao Xuanji bowed slightly and said in a soft voice, "Your Highness, impressive."ed his head from the imperial decree and looked at Li Peipei, who was before him. Though her appearance wasn't stunning, she had been pampered since childhood and possessed an air of grace that was un...
