The slash fell to the ground, Ye Wang met his demise in the underworld.
The long sword was drawn, causing Ye Wang's corpse to tremble.
Even in death, his eyes still held a trace of mockery and burgeoning terror that never fully had the chance to spread.
He never expected that he would die here, killed by Li Chen.
Not only him, Li Songru, and even King Ning who was not present, could have imagined it. The 150,000 Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry soldiers within the camp behind them couldn't have imagined it either.
Ye Wang died just like that.
Li Songru's hand, gripping the reins tightly, trembled.
He didn't know if it was fear or anger, or perhaps both.
< Li Songru breathed heavily, the fury and shock in his heart had reached their peak. >
He turned his head and stared intently at Li Chen, only to see that Li Chen was also staring back at him.
At this very moment, Li Songru witnessed the scene that Ye Wang had seen just before his death.
Li Chen's eyes were bottomless pits, like black holes at the bottom of the sea, ready to suck away one's soul.
All the soldiers of the Eighteen Riders of Yan and Cloud looked at Li Songru.
At this moment, as long as Li Songru utters a single word, the entire history of Chinese civilization will witness for the first time an army mutiny on the battlefield, culminating in a tragedy where the prince is assassinated.
Li Songru also realized this.
This was the first time he felt that the course of history was in his hands.
But...he didn't dare.
He really didn't dare.
I dare not give that order.
He knew that if he were to act even slightly impulsively, the entire course of history, the trajectory of the entire Qin Empire, would undergo a radical transformation.
The price, he Li Songru could not afford.
Even King Ning couldn't bear it.
His heart hammered in his chest, and Li Songru felt a dry mouth.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Songru finally moved.
At this moment, all eyes were on him, every move he made captivating the attention of everyone present.
The moment he moved, all eyes turned to him from every direction.
Li Songru ... dismounted from his horse.
He stood straight before Li Chen and said, "Today's events, I will report to the King truthfully in every detail."
As soon as he spoke, Li Songru could feel the gazes of the soldiers from the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry behind him, especially those close to Ye Wang's faction, looking at him with profound disappointment.
Dao Dao's gaze, like meridians converging on Li Songru's back, was intangible yet palpable enough to make Li Songru feel a prickling sensation.
He knew that after today's events, no matter how King Ning reacted, his status within the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry would plummet.
No soldier is willing to follow a general who will not stand up for his men.
He devoted over a decade to the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry, pouring his heart and soul into it. It took years of hard work and dedication for him to reach his current position. But in a single night, it all crumbled away.
Faced with Li Songru's abject surrender, Li Chen merely let out a light chuckle.
But his expression was meaningful.
This Li Songru is much more difficult to deal with than Ye Wang.
It's not unusual to get carried away by emotions and act impulsively in critical moments.
To bring down this heat with your blood pressure, you either have to be a complete coward or a true gentleman who knows how to bend but not break.
Can a complete coward become the deputy of the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders and help the Prince Ning manage the most elite 150,000 cavalry in the Qin Empire Li Chen doesn't believe it.
Therefore, he is more inclined towards the second possibility.
This Li Songru, must kill!
Disregarding the long sword in his hand, Li Chen said coldly, "Today, your Yan Yun Sixteen Riders charged into my palace. Although the ringleader has already been executed, it is clear that the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders are poorly managed. The blame lies primarily with King Ning, who led them astray. After arriving, have him come to Yueya Pass and apologize to me."tep could lead to war. We need to devise another plan carefully.”Li Chen's eyes lit up.Zhou Changshou's words filled in the rough outline of his plan, and transformed this destined-to-be-difficult tas...
