fer. These things, in the final analysis, are not worth Li Chen's concern.What really mattered to him was the bottom half of the note, the second piece of intelligence."The ninth prince of the Liao D...Chapter 950: Emperor's Extreme Heaven

"That's great."

Li Chen smiled with satisfaction and said, "These few days will be a bit hard work. If you need anything, just ask the Dongchang people directly."

Song Yingxing performed a respectful bow and then hesitantly spoke, "Your Highness, these days, people have been coming to our workshop under various pretenses, inquiring about things. Your humble servant fears that there might be those with ulterior motives who wish to steal the blueprints and manufacturing methods. Please investigate this matter carefully, Your Highness."

Li Chen had a blank expression on his face.

Since learning that Guan Zhiwei was a traitor, Li Chen knew very well that the manufacture of firearms in Zhao Xuanji's hands was no longer a secret.

But Guan Zhiwei was worried about being exposed, so he didn't force his way to take the firearm blueprints.

Now Guan Zhiwei is finished, Zhao Xuanji's people will probably be very interested in this design blueprint.

"This is also one of the reasons why I had you all transferred to the royal hunting grounds."

Li Chen said calmly, "Be careful these days, especially if there are any internal changes, discover them in time. If you can't handle it, let Sanbao take care of it. He will report to this palace."

Song Yingxing, satisfied with the outcome, bowed politely and then took his leave.

After everyone else had left, Li Chen finally had some time and opportunity to catch his breath.

He closed his eyes, and Wan Jiaojiao behind him came up familiarly and kneaded his temples.

As time went on, they didn't need to say much. They instinctively knew what to do next.

"Your Highness."

Wan Jiaojiao said, "Today's Thirteenth Aco of the Jin Nation, I saw him as foolish and naive, yet very honest. Can such a person be sent to negotiate with Your Highness"

"Is he stupid"

Li Chen opened his eyes and smiled, "He's not stupid. If you think he is, then he's achieved his goal. This kind of person isn't stupid, but rather wise as if foolish."

Wàn Jiāojiāo widened her eyes and said, "But I saw him being led around by the prince every step of the way."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Do you believe me The whole process today was completely within his expectations."

Wàn Jiāojiāo said incredulously, "Impossible, I don't believe it."

Li Chen smiled and closed his eyes, enjoying Wan Jiaojiao's massage, saying: "This Thirteenth Brother of the Jin country is a remarkable person."

"The crown prince of Qin, well-deserved reputation."

At the same time, in the capital's inn, within the room arranged for the Jin people, Huangji Tian held a steaming teacup and took a sip before sighing.

During the day, an attendant sat beside Emperor Kangxi and asked, "Thirteenth Brother, this prince of the Great Qin is extraordinarily cunning. Are we really going to cooperate with him"

Huangji Tian smiled and said, "Whether or not to cooperate is not up to us to decide, but to our father."

"After taking another sip of tea, Huangji Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "However, from this encounter, there is one thing I can be fairly certain of, that is, the Liao Kingdom absolutely does not intend to cooperate with the Qin Kingdom. What they previously said about jointly attacking our Jin Kingdom was nothing but a ploy by the Great Qin Prince."

The attendant was dumbfounded and said, "If that's the case, why didn't the 13th brother tell the emperor the pros and cons"

Huangji Tian said lightly, "General Fu, do you know why I was sent this time instead of the more capable Fourth Brother or the Sixth Brother who is more favored by our father"

General Fu was taken aback and stammered, unable to speak.

The Heavenly Emperor Huangji smiled and said, "You don't have to say it, as it can't be changed. This time, they pushed me out to be the scapegoat. Liaoning's wolfish ambition, is Da Qin any different This task is difficult, even if it's done well, it's thankless work, so we need an elder brother to take the fall."ighters.Stopping outside the Temple of the Supreme Ancestor, gazing at the deserted courtyard, but still bearing traces of the aftermath of war, Long Huaiyu, shielding himself with a single umbrella,...
