"The prince of Qin!"

Yelü Guzanqi could no longer bear it and said angrily, "You said that if I killed them, you would let me go. You, the prince of Great Qin, are so fickle!"

Li Chen waved his hand casually and said, "This palace has already said so, the rules here are decided by this palace. Did the prince forget"

"What do you want"

Yelü Guzanqi, enraged and out of control, roared.

"The outside world is rather chaotic right now. It's better if Your Highness stays as a guest in the capital for a few days. This palace will have someone notify the Liao state so they can send someone to pick up Your Highness. This is for Your Highness's own good, you see Otherwise, if something were to happen to Your Highness halfway and he died within the borders of Da Qin, this palace would be unjustly blamed as a villain."

Yelü Guzanqi sneered, "You don't need to be so kind. This king has guards around him who can protect me."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh"

"Speaking, Li Chen said to Su Pingbei with a faint smile: "Su Pingbei, was the journey out of seclusion safe"

Su Pingbei immediately understood, he stared at Yelü Guzanqi and sneered, "This journey hasn't been peaceful at all. When my troops returned to the capital, I happened to deal with no less than three bandit groups along the way. They were quite vicious."

Before he could finish, Su Pingbei roared at the army formation: "Soldiers, form ranks!"

With a shout, over a thousand soldiers instantly straightened their bodies, slamming their weapons onto the ground and roaring in unison, "Hu!"

More than a thousand people shouted in unison, each wielding a spear that struck the ground with force. The earth trembled like an earthquake, and Yelü Guzanqi could clearly feel the vibrations beneath his feet.

That kind of momentum almost shoved the word "threat" right in his face.

Yelü Guzanqi was so angry that his face turned green.

And at this moment, Li Chen indifferently said to Yelü Guzanqi, "Does Your Highness still feel safe now"

Gritting his teeth almost to the point of breaking them, Yelu Guzan angrily shouted, “What do you want!”

Li Chen smiled and said, "Of course, it's best to safely send the prince back to Liao. Of course, to let Liao believe it, Your Highness please write a letter, and this palace will immediately send someone over."

“It’s just that the prince's status is noble, and he has been staying in the capital as a guest recently. The expenses are quite considerable. Logically speaking, as the host, I shouldn't mention these things. But Your Highness also knows that the times are difficult now, and even the landlord's family doesn't have much grain left. Look at my sons, they’ve all become thin from hunger.”

Li Chen pointed at the group of fierce and muscular young men, his eyes wide as he spun a tall tale.

"Therefore, for the expenses of food, clothing, and lodging during this time, I would like to request that Your Highness allow the Liao Kingdom to send them. It wouldn't be much, just ten million taels of silver and ten thousand fine horses, which should be sufficient."

After listening to Li Chen's long speech, I finally understood his wolfish ambition.

Yelü Guzanqi widened his eyes, looking at Li Chen in disbelief.

He couldn't understand how there could be such shameless people in the world.

As the Crown Prince of Qin, he held a noble and esteemed status, yet he behaved like a street ruffian.

The lion opened its mouth wide, demanding ten million taels of silver and ten thousand steeds!

Yelü Guzanqi only felt oppressed in his chest and had difficulty breathing.

"Impossible!"

Yelü Guzanqi jumped up in anger and immediately refused without hesitation.

Ten thousand warhorses, though a considerable number, were also something the Liao kingdom could muster.

On the vast grassland, offering 10 million taels of silver would undoubtedly make the Liao Kingdom feel a deep pain.

"Absolutely not!"
