d spirit, but one that would never move again.This was Wang Teng'huan's first time coming into such close contact with death.He could even feel the restrained anger reaching its limit in Li Chen, just...Chapter 439: Clash of Ideologies

Li Chen's words made Mr. Mirror somewhat angry.

Their ideological conflict erupted with the most intense ferocity at this moment.

Mr. Mirror said in a deep voice, “That’s why one should bide their time and lay low. Your Highness, since you value history as a lesson, how can you not know the story of King Goujian of Yue, who endured hardships with forbearance Retreating for now is a tactic to gain time against a strong enemy, not a sign of weakness.”

“When the gentleman hesitated, it meant tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of common people in our great Qin Empire were trampled upon. Noble lords and princes could still sing and dance merrily, enjoying prosperity and luxury in the rear. But who would even spare a thought for the suffering of those people on the border”

"This palace is not the King of Yue, and those barbarians on the grasslands are not Fuchai. If we endure this step, let them see the weak essence of the empire, they will immediately show their fangs and claws, and pounce upon to tear the Qin Empire to shreds."

Speaking of this, Li Chen paused his words, turned around and looked at Mr. Jing with fiery eyes, saying indifferently: "At that time, will it be the scholars full of sophistry who wield their pens and inks on the battlefield, or will it be the demoralized imperial army, already accustomed to defeat, sent to the front lines to die"

Su Jinpa saw that the atmosphere between the two was growing increasingly tense, fearing that the deal would fall apart. She just wanted to speak up and ease the tension, but then Mr. Jingzhi, who seemed cheerful but was actually resolute, suddenly flung his sleeves and said, "People of different paths don't conspire. Your Highness, if you insist on going your own way, how can I, an old man, stop you Just know that I am not welcome to Your Highness. Please return to the capital immediately."

As soon as these words were uttered, even Su Jinpa, who was known for her composure, paled slightly.

She knew that Mr. Mirror's anger, with his scholar's temperament, would surely provoke Li Chen.

Others might be fine, but as the prince Li Chen, his personality was one of inner strength and outward gentleness. Beneath his elegant and refined appearance lay a truly domineering true nature.

As the Crown Prince of the Qin Empire, Master Jing could not possibly treat Li Chen as just anyone and drive him away.

Indeed, Li Chen stared at Mirror Master with a blank expression, his eyes already filled with killing intent.

He had done things like sending troops to the Xian Dynasty even though the whole court opposed it. From ordinary low-ranking officials to high-ranking cabinet elders, Li Chen had killed them all. Would he be afraid to kill one more renowned figure like Mirror Master

Kill intent, surging in the midst of silence.

At this moment, even the sea breeze seemed to have stilled.

No matter how strong the wind, it can't dispel this intense icy killing intent.

Su Jinpa's heart was in her throat.

And as the party involved, Mr. Mirror was not afraid at all, but instead gazed firmly at Li Chen.

After a long silence, Li Chen spoke in a soft voice: “Sir, are you not afraid that I will kill you Or do you think I wouldn’t dare”

"Others might not dare, but if it were Your Highness, they certainly would."

Knowing Li Chen dared to kill him, Mr. Mirror still held his ground and refused to back down.

If he had not had the unwavering belief that even death is no fear, he would have long since bowed to superior power.

Facing this old man who is both smelly and stubborn, like a stone in a latrine, Li Chen also felt a headache.

This kind of old man is like a stubborn donkey. You have to go along with his wishes if you want him to listen to you, but Li Chen wants to bring a giant Buddha statue into the cabinet to pacify the situation. He's not looking for a father figure to wait on him.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Chen had to subdue Mr. Jing and make him understand that in this world, even with the support of countless Confucian scholars behind him, those powerless bookworms could never possibly rebel for him.rit unable to relax at all.He cautiously looked at Li Tianzun's face, but only saw a smile, as if he was not angry or furious. So he said: "Great Daoist, you are joking. The junior is just here to res...
