eemed like the best path forward, but the Crown Prince refused. In my view, there are two reasons for this.""A part of it is that there are rebel troops in Xishan Province, and the prince can't tolera...Chapter 920: The Wu Brothers

Li Chen was a little stunned.

He didn't expect the man to say the Emperor's name out loud.

After some thought, I realized that my adoptive father has been emperor for so many years, yet he hasn't accomplished anything significant.

The national treasury is still poor.

He hasn't made any significant achievements in terms of literature and culture. As for martial arts, the army is barely able to afford its pay, so holding onto what they have is already a success. How can they possibly be ranked third

The man seemed to know Li Chen must have been puzzled and confused. He said, "People can only see what others are willing to let them see. As for our dynasty, there are many things that the emperor does not want people to see, so in this world, few people can see clearly."

Saying something is like saying nothing.

Li Chen didn't take those words to heart at all.

In his opinion, some of the methods used by the Emperor Qin were undoubtedly frightening. However, in terms of governing the entire country, he felt that the Qin Empire under his rule was far from satisfactory.

The man looked at Li Chen's indifferent expression and said softly, "Actually, at the beginning of the emperor's ascension, the country's situation was much worse than imagined. It could be said that it was both internally and externally troubled. The emperor was also getting older day by day, his health declining, and a natural disaster broke out. You could say that there wasn't a single good day. But despite all this, the empire never fell into chaos."

"Your Highness wouldn't believe this was all a coincidence, would you"

Li Chen frowned, pondered deeply, and remained silent.

With a smile, the man said, "The Holy One's methods are beyond ordinary comprehension. Many things I cannot see through or understand. Perhaps the only one who can give His Highness an explanation is the Holy One himself."

"Who are you" Li Chen asked.

He could now be sure that the person before him was definitely a close confidant of the Emperor, someone in his inner circle.

and extremely courageous.

Otherwise, who would dare to speak ill of the sovereign

Even if there were, it would be impossible to discuss it in front of him, the crown prince.

Most importantly, the feeling Li Chen got from him was that he had participated in the decisions of countless emperors throughout history, at the very least as an insider.

The man calmly looked at Li Chen and said, "Your Highness came to the ancestral temple, wasn't it to find me"

Li Chen's mind flashed like lightning, a name popping into his head immediately. He blurted out, "Wu Ban Shan"

Wu Ban Shan, a general of the Dragon and Tiger rank, the second highest rank in the Qin Empire, was in charge of defending Yueya Pass.

It can be said that being able to serve as the general of Yueya Pass is proof that Wu BanShan, in terms of military ability and other aspects, is absolutely one of the best in the Qin Empire today.

But the man opposite smiled and said, "That's my younger brother. My name is Wu Qingsang."

"Bān Shān is currently at Yuéyá Guān. According to the law, as long as he holds his post, he is absolutely not allowed to leave without permission. Otherwise, he will be executed immediately. This rule has been around for many years, and no one dares to break it. My younger brother is the same."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes suddenly.

If Wu Ban Shan is described as a shining star of the Qin dynasty, then his older brother, Wu Qing Cang, is a legendary figure of unparalleled talent.

Even relying on his past memories, Li Chen wasn't very familiar with Wu Qingsang.

All I know is that Wu Qingscang used to be a guard serving the Grand Emperor when he was still a prince. When the Grand Emperor was chosen as the Crown Prince, Wu Qingscang became the Captain of the Guard and stayed in that position until the previous emperor was near death. The Grand Emperor began to set up his own team, so Wu Qingscang left the capital.

This journey takes us to the border.

It was during those years that Wu Qingsang served, that the Qin Empire encountered wars of all sizes and emerged victorious in every single one.wu began.Li Chen nodded and waved his hand, "All of you, withdraw."This statement was naturally directed at the guards around them.Upon hearing the command, a circle of guards instantly obeyed.
