"Bring the person up here."
Li Chen was too lazy to play mind games with Sanbao.
It's good that the three treasures are a bit more clever.
The smarter one is, the more they know when to do what.
The more intelligent Sān Bǎo became, the clearer it was to him that the day he ascended the throne would be the day he retired.
This way, Li Chen saved himself a lot of trouble.
Soon, a man was brought up to Xizheng Hall.
He looks just like an ordinary Qin person, in both temperament and appearance. If you didn't know beforehand, no one would ever guess that this seemingly unremarkable person was actually the head of intelligence for the Jin Kingdom in the capital city of Qin.
"What's your name" Li Chen asked the Jin national in front of him, who was bowing his head and behaving very obediently.
"Your Highness is asking about the name of my Great Qin, or that of the Jin" he asked in return.
Li Chen said, "Naturally, it's your Jin country's real name."
My given name is Gua'erjia Aoqin, and I belong to the inlaid yellow flag of the Jin Dynasty.
Li Chen said calmly, "The Xianghuangqi banner is a branch of the Zhenglanqi banner. No wonder you could be responsible for such an important matter. And you are from the Guarjia clan, one of the nine major surnames in the Xianghuangqi banner. You are considered a legitimate member of the Xianghuangqi."
"It seems Your Highness knows quite a bit about our Jin nation," said Gua'erjia Aoqin.
"Though the Jin state may not be as powerful as the Liao, I, as the Crown Prince of Great Qin, know quite a bit about you."
Li Chen's words made Gualjia Aoqin unhappy. He arrogantly said, "Those barbarians from the Liao Kingdom are utterly stupid. They only have developed muscles and nothing else. Your Highness should not compare us to them."
Li Chen said with a smile that was not quite a smile: “Is that so Back then, you were thoroughly tricked by the Liao Kingdom over the issue of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun. In the end, you could only swallow your anger. You weren't saying this back then.”
Guā'ěrjiā Aoqín's face darkened immediately.
The sixteen states of Yan and Cloud are not only a permanent disgrace to the Great Qin, but also a shame to the Jin.
For the Qin Dynasty, to have lost sixteen states' worth of land was a humiliation so profound that they would be unable to face their ancestors.
These Sixteen States of Yan and Yun were practically in the bag for the Jin Kingdom, but the Liao Kingdom tore up the agreement and didn't even treat them like human beings. They truly had no way to deal with the Liao Kingdom.
This is a huge disgrace.
Inside the Jin kingdom, hatred for Liao was no less than that for Qin.
Since he could see his words were taking effect, Li Chen went straight to the point and said, "How long does it take you to relay a message to the Jin Kingdom"
Guan Jia Aoqin frowned, cautiously saying: “The importance of looking at the intelligence... But the specifics, I can’t tell you.”
Li Chen sneered, "Are you crazy"
Li Chen was too lazy to waste any more time talking to such an idiot.
It's no wonder that the Jin Kingdom has been repeatedly beaten down by the Liao Kingdom for years, and even when facing the Qin Dynasty, they only dared to come out and make a show of strength during these years of decline in the Qin Dynasty's power.
A top intelligence official in the capital is so foolish, how intelligent can their ruling class be.
"The Liao Kingdom has prepared 600,000 soldiers to deal with you, but you're still in the dark. I really don't know what you, the head of intelligence, do all day."nding up, Zhao Rui was still a little scared and didn't dare to look down. However, being pulled by Li Chen to the middle, she suddenly felt a lot safer.Sitting on the eaves, Zhao Rui learned from Li...
