porridge. What else could I do"Li Chen was furious.But also knowing that venting anger on such a small person would be pointless.At this point, he also understood why those great figures often weren't...Chapter 360: Even the Earthworms Were Dug Out and Slashed

Sanbao pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up with delight. "Your Highness's wisdom," she exclaimed, bowing deeply, "is something I greatly admire!"

Those so-called martial heroes think they can act above the law, constantly shouting about the common people and denouncing the court. They don't realize that with political maneuvering at the imperial court, dealing with this bunch of roughnecks would be child's play. Since they crave fame and fortune, let's give them a huge reward to turn on each other.

Li Chen became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. "You need to handle this immediately. I'm going to the Qianyuan Palace shortly, so you bring people and search the entire city right away. But don't spread the news that I was attacked; it would be detrimental to our current situation."

The three treasures bowed, and said: "Your Highness, there is something that the servants dare to ask Your Highness to agree to."

"Speak," Li Chen said, frowning.

"Your Highness, there is only Wan Jiaojiao by your side now. While she can serve you well in your daily life, if a similar incident were to occur again, she wouldn't be able to resist. Therefore, this servant dares to request that Your Highness carry two highly skilled and loyal guards at all times. In case of strong enemies, even if it means sacrificing their lives, they can delay the enemy until reinforcements arrive."

Li Chen nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Then let you choose this person."

After a terrifying near-death experience, Li Chen never wanted to go through it again.

He is more afraid of death than anyone.

Now he, as long as he doesn't go out of his way to die, even if he just stays in the East Palace every day, when his cheap father dies, he will be the next emperor, ruling over the vast territory of the Qin Empire.

If I were to die like this, all my power and status would be for nothing.

In Li Chen's eyes, his own life was more important than anything else.

"Well, you're thoughtful."

Li Chen said to the three treasures: "This time you have merit in protecting me, what reward do you want"

Sān Bǎo bowed her head and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, all of this is what a slave should do. I am a rootless person, and Your Highness is my master, my heaven. Anything I do for Your Highness is natural and I dare not ask for reward."

You dare not ask, but this palace cannot refuse.

Li Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "This time, everyone who participated in the escort mission will be promoted one rank, with an additional two months' salary. For those who die or are injured in battle, double the usual compensation will be paid. As for you, I can't think of anything to reward you right now. Just remember this, and I'll settle it all together later."

The Three Jewels bowed their head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Also, this time, all the East Palace guards were killed by the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. It shows that these inner guards have rotted to their very core. From now on, the East Palace defense will be directly taken over by the Imperial Guards. You take care of this matter."

"Slave, obey."

......

Heavy snow swirled, and the capital city, which should have been enveloped in the warmth of family reunion on this night, was instead shrouded in a blanket of gloom.

The carnage that erupted in front of the East Palace main gate was a mystery to most. However, within half an hour after the killing ceased, three thousand Imperial Guards marched fully armed into the capital. Then, all four major city gates of the capital were closed, and even the city defense personnel were replaced directly from the regular Imperial Guard instead of the usual government soldiers from the capital.

Such a chillingly cold flattery, caused the entire capital city to suddenly fall silent.

Immediately following this were house-to-house searches. No matter if you were a government official or a wealthy landowner, ten members of the Imperial Guard, each carrying a military order, would forcibly enter your home to search for rebels. Anyone who resisted would be killed without mercy.ng a deep breath, Yelü Guzanqi immediately made a wise choice."Get me a pen and paper!"Mission accomplished.Li Chen waved his hand, and immediately, an expert from the Dongchang appeared, taking Yelu...
