Chapter 750: Scolding the EmpressChapter 1676: Killed
Li Chen dismounted and, looking at Wang En who was roughly the same height as him but much more muscular and imposing, said: "Hold out your palm for this palace to see."
Wang Enyi opened her palm.
Wang En opened his palm, and the scene that unfolded left everyone gasping in astonishment.
Only the palm was visible now, a bloody mess. Flesh and skin were shredded, covering the entire hand. A raw wound gaped in the center of the palm, deep enough to reveal the white bone beneath, soaking in blood.
So badly wounded, anyone could tell it must have been excruciating pain, but this Wang En not only didn't cry out in pain, but instead calmly looked at Li Chen.
"Come here, give the medicine."
After Li Chen gave an order, someone immediately brought up the finest golden wound medicine to treat Wang En's injuries.
Seeing Wang En's serious face with no sign of distress, Li Chen said to Wang En: "You saved my life, what do you want"
If an ordinary person were in this situation, they would simply say that it was their duty and that they did not need any rewards. But Wang En was clearly not an ordinary person. The excitement he could not hide beneath his tight face was like a long-awaited opportunity, which had almost become a desperate hope, coming back to him after a long wait.
The captain of the personal guard sent by Wu Qingcang to protect Li Chen looked at his subordinates, a motherly smile of satisfaction on his lips. In his view, Wang En's move was extremely dangerous, but as long as he answered appropriately next, he would inevitably win over the favor of His Royal Highness. In this way, even if Wang En gambled his life, he would have earned glory and wealth.
"Your Highness, I need money!"
Wang Eng's straightforward answer left Li Chen speechless with laughter. Chen Tong, Xu Wei and the others around him burst into laughter as well. Only the captain of the personal guards kept a grim face, as if his mother had died, and reprimanded: "Wang Eng! What nonsense are you talking about! You should protect His Highness, even if it means death. As long as you keep His Highness safe, it is worthwhile. You dare to make demands from His Highness And with such vulgar things as silver!"
While berating him, the captain kept giving Wang En the eye, signaling for him to fix things according to his instructions.
Although it may seem like an afterthought, word in the army now is that His Highness is merciful and surely wouldn't hold a grudge over these small matters or a common soldier's actions.
Ke Wang'en, however, seemed to have accepted his fate. He completely ignored the frantic captain hinting at him and stared directly at Li Chen: "Your Highness, I need silver, a lot of silver."
The captain's face turned dark. He had never met such a stubborn person. Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, Li Chen waved his hand and said, "All plans have their reasons, seeking their origins to understand their intentions. Tell me, how much silver do you want, and why so much"
The captain chuckled awkwardly. Li Chen had already spoken, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything more. He could only hope that Wang En wouldn't say something else shocking like "I want to get married" .
Just as everyone was waiting for Wang En to answer, a sound of horse hooves came.
It was Guarjia Ronglu who arrived with his men.
Gua Erjia Ronglu's expression was not very good. His previous attack had failed, and now he had to pay the price for this 'mistake'.
Gritting his teeth, Gualjia Ronglu raised his hand and said to Li Chen: "Your Highness, Crown Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, Gualjia Ronglu represents the thirteenth brother of the Jin Kingdom and 300,000 soldiers. We welcome your highness with great respect. What just happened was just a misunderstanding... "
Li Chen didn't even look at him, just raising his hand to stop him from speaking further.
Then, Li Chen gently uttered two words.
"Kill."nisters all felt that there were fewer courtiers and more guards.Although the rain has stopped today, the sky over the capital city is still overcast, as if it could start raining again at any moment....
