"Finished"
Li Chen asked expressionlessly.
Yelü Gǔzànqí frowned and said, "Could it be that with such favorable conditions, you, the Crown Prince of Great Qin, are not tempted"
"Open the Moonlit Gate and let the Liao army cavalry ride straight in. You've really thought this through, haven't you"
Li Chen scoffed and said, “Why is it that there are always fools in this world who think they are smart but treat others as idiots”
Yelü Guzanqi's face flushed red, and he shouted, "The Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom are separated by a mountain range called Tianshan. If the Liao Kingdom wants to attack the Jin Kingdom, it must necessarily pass through Yueya Pass. Besides that, the Liao Kingdom has absolutely no ill intentions!"
"If you're not comfortable, we can write it into the treaty."
Li Chen said lightly, "Eighty years ago, the Liao and Jin states took advantage of the turmoil in the Daqin domestic political situation, natural disasters, and declining national strength to jointly attack Daqin. The Daqin of that year was so similar to the Daqin of today."
"That time, you were successful. Before the war began, you told the Jin Dynasty the same thing: both countries would launch attacks from their borders, and after victory, they would divide the Central Plains of Qin. This was also written into your alliance."
But the Qin dynasty was not destroyed, it stubbornly held on. And you, together, seized the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun. As a result, the Liao Kingdom occupied the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, pushing the border line between the Qin dynasty and the Liao Kingdom south by 580 li. When faced with the furious accusations from the Jin Kingdom, your ruler Yelü Abaoji at the time replied that in this world, only the weak rely on treaties, while the strong have the power to tear up treaties at any time. Why should they abide by them
Li Chen's story made Yelü Guzan blush.
But he did not become angry.
Because Li Chen was able to kill Yelu Qiming, Yelu Guzan could see that Li Chen was definitely not the kind of person who could be easily fooled or deceived.
The cooperation between the two countries was stillborn before it even began.
So Yelü Guzanqi just completed the task and then immediately left.
The most important thing for him right now is to get back to Liaoning alive.
Since the prince of Qin has no intention of engaging with Liao...
Before Yelu Guzanqi could finish his words, Li Chen interrupted him, saying, "What's the rush If this palace wanted to kill you, you wouldn't even have the chance to enter the East Palace. Now that I've let you stand here and finish your words, it proves that this palace hasn't made up its mind to kill you yet. What are you so afraid of"
Li Chen's words made Yelu Guzan clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.
He had never been humiliated like this in his entire life, let alone by someone as weak as a Qin person.
Not even the prince of Qin Dynasty!
Yelü Guzanqi secretly vowed in his heart that when he returned, he would definitely do everything in his power to urge the Liao Kingdom to attack Qin State. He wanted to be at the forefront!
It is necessary to personally kill the Qin Prince before my eyes!
"The conditions you offered are unsatisfactory to me. Perhaps I should propose a condition of my own."
Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let the Qin army attack the Jin state, there is no need for the Liao army. In this way, your Liao state doesn't need to station troops at Yueya Pass. However, the Liao state needs to provide the Qin state with 80 million taels of silver as war expenses and... return the sixteen prefectures of Yan Yun."
Li Chen's words had just finished when Yelü Guzanqi suddenly spoke: "Dream on! You big Qin don't even think about it!"
He glared at Li Chen and sneered, "I knew you were dawdling for a reason. It turns out you still have your eyes on the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Cloud. That's territory belonging to my Liao Kingdom. There's no question of whether it should be returned or not. I advise you not to covet that land, because the Liao Kingdom would never agree."
"Well, I think so too."
Li Chen grinned wickedly and said, "So this palace intends to take it back by my own hands."he seventh rank, wouldn't hold as much power as a ninth-rank county magistrate in terms of actual authority.And Xu Wei, who had recently grasped the real power of Shenwumen's security, was living a li...
