lright, I'll ask you again. Xu Changqing has two serious crimes. We've already asked about the buying and selling of officials. The second crime is the theft of treasury silver from the Ministry of Re...Chapter 1576: Enemy Attack!

After a moment, Zhou Changshou left.

Li Chen stood alone on the city wall, his expression grave as he gazed out at the vast desert beyond Yueya Pass.

He stood for a long time, and then footsteps sounded behind him.

The Emperor of Heaven has arrived.

Let's go to war.

After the pleasantries, Huangji Tian stood beside Li Chen and turned his head to say, “This should be the last time we stand on the city wall of Yueyaguan for a while.”

Li Chen nodded and said, "The next time we meet, it should be at the rear."

Huangji Tian grinned and said, “My subordinates and I have calculated this battle. Although it seems perilous, the real risk is minimal because we're going in with the intention of giving our lives freely. The difficulty lies in your safety and whether Yelv Shenxuan will fall for our trap.”

"Yes, definitely."

Li Chen said in a low voice, "Yelü Shenxuan, he couldn't resist such temptation. If he could have resisted, then this world should have belonged to him."

"Yes, annexing Yueyaguang was already a feat of unparalleled achievement. But if we could also capture the prince of Qin… tsk tsk, I dare not even imagine it."

Li Chen turned his head to look at Huang Ji Tian and said, "Don't let me down with your 300,000 army."

Huangji Tian patted his chest and said, "Rest assured, although they still have their own little calculations, everyone's common goal is the same: to win. Winning benefits everyone, while losing would be disastrous for me, but they wouldn't fare well either. Their careers would essentially be ruined for life, and no one would joke about their future."

Nods, Li Chen said no more.

Conversations between intelligent people require little preamble. Once a point is established, it's settled.

He took a deep breath, the cool air entered his lungs through his nostrils and then spread throughout his limbs, making him feel much more awake.

It's snowing.

The Heavenly Emperor suddenly said.

Li Chen looked up at the sky, and sure enough, the pitch-black sky, who knew when it started, was now sprinkled with snowflakes.

Fleeting snowflakes, descending from the boundless depths of the sky, were whipped by the icy wind upon contact with people's bodies. The chill seemed to penetrate their hearts and very bones.

Li Chen frowned slightly and said, "This snow came at the wrong time."

Huangji Tian was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood his meaning.

On the prairie, once it starts to snow, it will last for a long time, and the ground and roads will quickly freeze over.

This means the steppe is officially entering winter, and it also means Yelü Shenxuan must end the battle in the shortest time possible and bring his soldiers back to Langting.

Otherwise, let alone whether soldiers could truly fight on this vast prairie that could freeze people to death tonight, even if a heavy snowfall blocked the roads, returning would be a problem.

And this will also directly affect whether Yelü Shenxuan will decide to pursue those who enter Guan內.

Just then, at the end of the official road ahead, a lone figure lay sprawled on horseback, galloping all the way.

The rapid, staccato rhythm of hooves pounding the earth brought a sense of urgency and tension to this desolate and silent expanse of the North West.

The other party was incredibly fast, going from a small speck to a distance where you could clearly see their clothing in the blink of an eye.

That was a Qin army scout.

The scout sprinted to the foot of Yueya Pass, straining his lungs and roaring, "Enemy attack!!! The Liao army is in full force, approaching Yueya Pass from ten miles away!!!"

This roar tore through the silence of the night, causing the entire Yueya Pass to boil like a cauldron... boiling!s breath quicken."I saved your life, don't you owe me anything in return"Hearing this, Zhao Qinglan's pearly white teeth bit her lip. While she had to endure Li Chen's unrestrained kneading, she also...
