Tap tap tap...

The rhythmic footsteps were inexplicably exciting to hear.

With the clang of armor, a squad of soldiers soon began to march in.

They were well-organized and disciplined, immediately surrounding the group of Long Huaiyu in front of the main gate of Taimiao upon entering, according to their designated positions.

This encircling movement made Duan Jinjiang subconsciously realize something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Master" Long Huaiyu sensed Duan Jinjiang's tension and asked involuntarily.

Duan Jinchang said in a low voice, "These soldiers are surrounding us."

Duan Jinchang was from the Ministry of War and possessed the most basic tactical literacy. He could immediately tell that this was a common battle formation used by the Qin army to surround small enemy groups.

If it were Li Yinhu or Zhao Xuanji's people, they wouldn't attack at this time, let alone so easily, even if they wanted to kill him.

Duang Jinjiang squinted his eyes, trying to make out the armor on these soldiers in order to judge their unit designation and affiliation.

It was just the darkness of night, combined with the heavy rain, that made it impossible for Duan Jinjiang to see clearly.

And Long Huaiyu was startled by Duan Jinjiang's words. He stared intently at the soldiers before him, a feeling of unease slowly creeping over his heart.

At this very moment, a sharp and piercing cry pierces the heavens.

"His Royal Highness has arrived!!!"

This cry pierced through the rainy night, shattering the layers of clouds above their heads, causing both Long Huaiyu and Duan Jinjiang's faces to change dramatically.

Without waiting for a response, the soldiers moved in unison, parting ways and kneeling on one knee on either side of the road.

In the middle, a young man in a bright red wedding robe walked by.

Striding like a dragon, with an imposing bearing.

"Li Chen!!!"

Long Huaiyu and Duan Jinjiang would never forget this face for the rest of their lives.

Li Chen walked on, and behind him, the three treasures were nowhere to be seen. Instead, Chen Tong was bending over, holding an umbrella high above Li Chen's head, leaving himself exposed to the rain.

"You seem surprised to see me"

Li Chen came to Long Huaiyu's presence, stopped a short distance away, and said faintly.

Long Huaiyu clenched his fists, his mind was a jumbled mess at this moment, and his body trembled with a mixture of excitement and fear.

Why

Long Huaiyu asked this question that he couldn't figure out no matter what.

"Why are you standing here!"

Li Chen said leisurely, "This palace was not tied up with five flowers, waiting for you to laugh at this palace, so it seems very abnormal, right"

"In your eyes, I should be utterly wretched and regretful now, consumed by fear, imprisoned within these walls. After being humiliated time and again, only to be killed to appease the spirits of your departed kin"

"In your eyes, Li Yinhu is bound to win, even if he can't. This palace also can't defeat Zhao Xuanji. In this rebellion, this palace has no reason to win. So now this palace is here. You don't understand, right"

Li Chen's words, like invisible daggers, pierced Long Huaiyu's heart.

Long Huaiyu trembled all over. He threw the paper umbrella in his hand away and roared, "What on earth is going on!"

"What's going on"

Li Chen let out a light laugh, but his eyes were as cold as ever. "It's simple, isn't it Power overcomes all conspiracies. What do you think, Lord Duan"

After finishing his words, Li Chen's gaze fixed on Duan Jinjiang.

Throughout the entire conversation, Duan Jiang had remained silent. But when Li Chen spoke, he suddenly broke into a smile.d seek revenge. He wants to threaten the court with our lives."But he, you, everyone is wrong about one thing. Since the court's real purpose is to have him deal with the Liao army, then this time, it...
