Chapter 797: Stones Shattering the Chest

    

ing grain prices are getting at something, but even factoring in this expense, sixty thousand taels is far too much."After finishing his words, Li Chen took up his pen and changed the amount on the do...Chapter 797: A Stone Crushed My Heart

Having figured these things out, Zhao Xuanji's mood became much lighter.

The Emperor's death could occur at any time, yet it couldn't happen now.

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhao Xuanji glanced at Li Yinhu, feeling lighthearted inside but with a heavy expression on his face.

It seems the situation has indeed deteriorated to the worst possible scenario.

Zhaoxuanji drooped his eyebrows, his entire expression giving off a very despondent vibe.

Such Zhao Xuanji obviously put more psychological pressure on Li Yinhu.

"Elder, we can't just sit idly by!"

Li Yinhu's urgent words made Zhao Xuanji purse her lips and nod, saying, "Right, we absolutely cannot sit idly by."

Next, the old man will gather his forces and contact officials and old comrades from all over. As soon as the time is right, we will raise our army.

Li Yinhu's heart pounded, and he asked, "What time does the elder mean"

Zhao Xuanji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "In ten days, the Crown Prince's wedding."

Ten days!

Only ten days left.

Li Yinhu swallowed nervously, his face flushed slightly.

He was a little excited, but mostly nervous.

Have I endured for so many years, only to have the results in ten days

"Of course, within these ten days, this old man will do his best to expand your influence, King Zhao. You must hold strong against the pressure from the East Palace during this time."

Zhao Xuanji stared at Li Yinhou, saying in a deep voice: "As for the current state of affairs, you are only an onlooker, which is unacceptable. Tomorrow morning, I will recommend that you begin to take real power, even if it's just a tiny bit."

"First, I will give you the capital to speak in court. Then, this old man will do his best to help you. In ten days, we shall settle everything in one decisive battle!"

Li Yinhu's eyes lit up. He suddenly clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Zhao Xuanji, saying excitedly, "If this succeeds, Elder Ge, believe me! Elder Ge will be the King of One Word Shoulders in the new dynasty!"

A king with shoulders level with the ground, where “ground” refers to the emperor’s shoulders.

Such a king, has never appeared in the entire history of the Qin Empire.

For this throne, Li Yinhu is now willing to give up anything.

He knew better than anyone that without Zhao Xuanji, he wouldn't stand a chance.

So now he is willing to do anything to win over Zhao Xuanji.

It's just an empty check anyway.

If it really comes to pass, then we can just deal with Zhao Xuanji slowly later on.

Li Yinhu, with the clicking abacus sounding clearly in his ears, felt that he had thought everything through and there were no problems.

Zhao Xuanji chuckled and said in a gentle voice, "Your Highness is too kind. These matters can wait until later."

"Yes, sir," Li Yinhou replied meekly, bowing his head respectfully.

......

Inside the capital's most prestigious restaurant, Shi Xuanwei and Xiao Tiannan staggered out of the room with legs that felt like jelly, their faces flushed with satisfaction yet weakness, still smelling faintly of a woman's perfume.

Just now, they got a taste of what it's like to be with a Qin woman.

She is countless times better than that woman who, with arms as thick as a prairie and the power to shatter boulders from her chest, could run horses.

Only then is she a woman.

Shí Xuǎn wèi glanced at Xiao Tiān nán and chuckled, "Xiao brother, I suddenly don't want to go back."

Xiao Tiannan also had a look of reminiscence on his face and said, "This Great Qin is indeed a man's paradise. Compared to it, the Liao Kingdom has nothing but cattle, sheep, and women who are even stronger and more burly than cattle and sheep."

Two people were reminiscing, when a smiling He Kun appeared before them.

"Gentlemen, are you satisfied"h them""It's clean now."Li Chen glanced at Li Yinhu and was about to speak when the eunuch who had been standing beside him spoke up."Your Majesty, Crown Prince Zhao, the time has already passed. Shal...
