free. She exclaimed urgently, "Your Highness, let go of me... It's inappropriate!""What gift"Li Chen said calmly, "My words are a gift."Jin Xueyuan only then raised her head, her eyes bloodshot as sh...Chapter 631: The Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Cloud

"Eighty years ago, the Liao and Jin states jointly attacked my great Qin. It was in that battle that my great Qin lost over 700,000 elite soldiers, severely weakening our national strength. This created the opportunity for your Liao and Jin states to rise."

Li Chen's tone and expression were cold, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

"But it was precisely that war that your Liao state betrayed its cooperation with the Jin state, seizing the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun for itself, leaving the Jin state with nothing. This great grudge has festered for eighty years, and the Jin state has not forgotten it."

"So you think, if this palace were to offer some benefits, and form an alliance with the Jin state, they would agree"

Yelü Guzan's eyes flickered, he stared at Li Chen, and after a long silence, coldly said: "The wolf cubs of the Jin Kingdom are ambitious and despicable. Your Highness doesn't fear inviting the wolf into the room"

Li Chen said calmly, "This palace naturally won't fully trust the Jin Kingdom, but with the Liao Kingdom as a major enemy in front of you, under the circumstances of 'lips dying and teeth cold', neither Da Qin nor the Jin Kingdom will stand by and watch the Liao Kingdom destroy another country."

With a cold snort, Li Chen looked at Yelu Guzanqi and said indifferently, "Besides, the people of the Qin Dynasty number over ten million. One person's spit could drown your Liao Kingdom. Throughout three thousand years of history in the Central Plains, when have you barbarians truly defeated our Han people Your military strength is only temporary. Our great Qin dynasty has countless loyal and brave warriors. If you want to fight, come!"

The last sentence comes, like thunder.

Li Chen stood on the steps, compared to Yelu Guzan's stature, he was thin and looked fragile. However, when Yelu Guzan looked up at Li Chen, he felt as if a giant dragon was rising behind the young man. Those emotionless dragon eyes were fixed on him.

Under immense pressure, Yelu Guzanqi felt like he was having trouble breathing.

With fists clenched tight, Yelü Guzanqi felt a surge of anger and humiliation at this moment.

Only the people of Qin used to bow and fawn before the people of Liao. But now, he himself was being scolded by the Crown Prince of Qin like a son.

Anger felt like a piercing needle, sending a sharp pang through his heart. His eyes were slightly bloodshot, and Yelu Guzan gritted his teeth, saying: "Doesn't the Prince of Qin want to hear Liaoning's conditions"

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Yelü Guzanqi. A playful smile curved the corner of his lips.

Under such stimulation, Yelü Guzanqi didn't actually erupt, which was rather unexpected.

However, it doesn't affect the overall picture.

Seeing Li Chen's lack of response, Yelü Guzan pressed down his anger and said in a deep voice, “The Liao Kingdom is willing to establish a friendly alliance with the Great Qin, becoming brothers in arms. Both sides agree not to invade each other, allow trade, and permit the free movement of merchants and commoners between the two countries.”

This one is still understandable.

Li Chen remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

Taking a deep breath, Yelü Guzanqi continued, "The Liao Kingdom invites the Great Qin to jointly attack the Jin Kingdom, and the Great Qin doesn't need to send out a single soldier. It only needs to agree to contribute 80 million taels of silver and allow the Liao army to pass through Yueya Pass into the territory of the Jin Kingdom. When the Liao Kingdom conquers the capital of the Jin Kingdom, it can divide the Jin Kingdom with the Great Qin along the Alashan River as the boundary!"

Thus, not only could the Qin Dynasty expand its territory by one-fourth, but it would also permanently put an end to the Jin State's harassment and worries along the border. For the Qin Dynasty, this was a great thing.ighness's courage is nothing to boast about.""Don't try to provoke me, it's useless."Li Chen said calmly, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone me."Poking his own nose, Li Chen...
