superficial, has more than 10,000 words. Ninth Royal Brother, you say you memorized it This Palace doesn't believe you. Go ahead and recite it for me."Upon hearing Li Chen's voice, the Ninth Prince wa...Chapter 1068 Master and Disciple, The Disciple Will Avenge You in the Future

From a light chuckle at the start, it gradually evolved into a loud laugh, then into wild laughter.

Duan Jinjiang laughed hysterically, face upturned.

Let the icy rain beat against his face, yet he still laughed wildly.

"Great! Excellent!"

Du Jinchang laughed until he could hardly breathe, pointing at Li Chen and saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are truly blessed by the dragon. Even with Li Yinhu and Zhao Xuanji joining forces, they couldn't bring you down!"

"I only regret that when you were weakest, I didn't strike you down. Now you have grown to this point, and I regret it!"

Duan Jinjiang's state gradually became frenzied. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face contorted into a grotesque expression like a demon. "Why, why, despite all my careful planning, you still refuse to die! What is the reason!"

This statement was filled with resentment and unwillingness from Duan Jintang's tone.

"It's right to be meticulous, but with your kind of thinking that only hides in the dark corners like a maggot and plots against others, what big things do you expect to accomplish"

Li Chen said indifferently: “This palace doesn't have much time to waste on you. Get straight to the point. What preparations has King Wen made, and what does he plan to do next”

"Do you think we'd tell you"

"And we told you, would you let us go"

What are you thinking

Li Chen let out a mocking laugh. "Do you believe I will let you go"

"This palace is too lazy to lie to you, so I can tell you directly, since you traveled so far to get here, this palace naturally won't let you leave. Death is inevitable, but how you die depends on the circumstances. To put it plainly, a clear and specific death will be less painful, and you won't have to suffer as much."

Li Chen's words drove Long Huaiyu to the brink of despair.

He was also terrified.

He didn't want to die, nor dared he die.

He wants to live.

"Master, why don't we go all out!"

Long Huaiyu leaned in close to Duan Jinjiang's ear and said urgently, "If we keep going like this, we're all going to die here."

Before Duan Jinjiang could reply, Li Chen said: "What's the secret talk about Let this palace hear it too"

At this moment, Duan Jianjiang suddenly roared: "Everyone, none of us can live now, we can only fight to the death. If we capture the prince as a hostage, there's still a glimmer of hope. Everyone, follow me!"

Even in death, it would be a relief. Your wives and daughters, your families, will be cared for. Rest assured about everything!

Those protecting Duan Jinchang and Long Huaiyu closely were all dead soldiers.

Since they are assassins, they should have been prepared for this.

They didn't hesitate for a moment, attacking Li Chen at the same time.

Duan Jinjiang followed closely behind, his eyes locked on Li Chen's with a burning resentment that threatened to overflow.

Li Chen just stood there quietly, without any reaction.

Behind him, Chen Tong, holding an umbrella in one hand, sneered and waved the other.

Hundreds of soldiers on the scene tacitly stepped aside, making way for someone behind them.

What was revealed were dozens of pitch-black gun barrels.

Bang bang bang.

The musket fired.

The black hole of the muzzle burst forth with a burst of orange-red flames.

The five or six death row guards in front of Duan Jinjiang were running rapidly, one after another, falling to the ground like rolling gourds.

The situation was critical, and as dozens of guns appeared simultaneously, Long Huaiyu, who had seen Duan Jinjiang rush out, darted in the opposite direction without looking back.

"Master, we cannot all die here. Disciple swears that in the future, they will definitely come back to avenge you!!!"

Long Huaiyu ran while shouting.natural disasters, tax revenue from all regions simply cannot be collected. Moreover, last year the Emperor issued an edict that for provinces affected by disasters, taxes and corvée labor would be re...
