Chapter 857: Frightened into Silence

ed amidst the piercing gazes of the inner palace guards. He finally arrived at Taishan Pavilion trembling with fear.To be honest, the furnishings in the Eastern Palace weren't particularly luxurious....Chapter 857 Startled

So now the Liao Kingdom is again offering back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Cloud as a condition, claiming they are returning them to the Great Qin. The people of the Liao Kingdom produce sons who all lack chrysanthemums, they can't possibly keep their promises.

Guaerjia Aoqin's speech sped up, and his expression became increasingly anxious.

Finally, he even said with anguish: "Your Highness, you can't be so foolish!"

"By then, if the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Cloud are not captured, and the heartland of the Great Qin Empire is engulfed in war, how will you face the people of Great Qin, the ancestors of Great Qin"

He, Gua'erjia Aoqin, is a genuine Jin man and an intelligence officer. Now he tells Li Chen, the crown prince of Da Qin, to face the people of Da Qin and their ancestors. This shows how desperate he is.

Li Chen's heart almost burst into laughter.

But the show must go on.

A hint of impatience flashed across his face as he said, “You, a man from the Jin Kingdom, speak just like those ministers.”

Upon hearing this, Guarjia Aoqin felt like he instantly understood.

The current situation is that the Crown Prince of Qin, blinded by his achievements and fame, probably wants to agree to Liaoning. However, the civil and military officials of Qin are not fools; they must be strongly opposed, which is why things have come to a standstill.

It also gave the Jin state the best opportunity to react.

Thinking of this, Gua'erjia Aoqin felt that the fate of the Jin country was now in his hands. He absolutely could not back down.

Thus, with a profound sense of duty and responsibility, Gua’erjia Aoqin eagerly said: “Your Highness, our Jin Kingdom also comes in good faith.”

">One hundred thousand head of fine cattle and sheep can be sent to Qin immediately."

"There are still five hundred beauties!"

"One million taels of gold!"

These things can all be redeemed immediately!

"Most importantly, the Jin Dynasty could form an alliance with the Qin Dynasty to jointly resist the Liao Dynasty."

"If Your Highness is willing, the Jin Kingdom shall be the greatest ally of the Qin Empire, ready to send troops at any moment for its aid!"

The conditions spilled out like beans, causing Li Chen to narrow his eyes.

To be honest, being able to get so many benefits for free is already pretty good.

But Li Chen still wanted more.

"None of these things can compare to the Sixteen States of Yan and Yun."

Li Chen said in a deep voice, "What this palace wants is land! To expand the territory!"

Guargjia Aoqin was taken aback for a moment, then resolutely and unambiguously stated: "The Jin Kingdom would absolutely never cede any land."

Unwilling to cede

It's okay.

You'll be vomiting from playing after this.

Li Chen thought this way, but said: "When would this palace ask you Jin to cede land This palace wants to join hands with the Jin to destroy Liao together!"

As soon as these words were uttered, it was like a bolt from the blue, sending a surge of blood rushing to Guarjia Aoqin's head.

He and the Jin court behind him, no matter how bold or ambitious they were, would at most only be considering an alliance with Qin to resist the invasion of Liao.

But Li Chen actually wanted to destroy Liao together with the Jin Kingdom

Although the world is currently dominated by three kingdoms, the Liao dynasty has been strong for a hundred years. Both the Great Qin and the Jin dynasties have grown accustomed to the Liao's power.

They always prayed that the Liao dynasty wouldn't cause them trouble.

The greatest victory is a peaceful border.

They never even considered the possibility of proactively provoking Liao.

Even high-ranking officials of the Jin Dynasty would be dumbfounded to hear Li Chen's words here, let alone a lowly figure like Guarjia Aoqin.

“The Liao Kingdom has 600,000 troops stationed outside Yueya Pass. These 600,000 iron cavalry pose a huge threat to both the Great Qin and the Jin Kingdoms. They can even threaten our two countries at will, demanding things like treasures and women. If we don't comply, they will launch an attack.”
