On the third day of June, the sky was already dark.
Li Chen rode on his black horse and counted the three thousand elite soldiers of the Golden Guards as he drove all the way to the Black Tortoise Gate.
The sudden appearance of 3,000 soldiers made the soldiers guarding the gate tense up.
"Halt!"
Jing Junhong shouted from the city gate,
"Which army dares to barge into the forbidden gate at night? Are you rebelling?!"
Similar incidents were not uncommon in history!
Li Chen looked up with a cold expression.
"The imperial palace's security is insufficient. We need more people to patrol in order to protect His Majesty!”
The three thousand Golden Guards behind him were all elites of the capital, not much weaker than the Imperial Army.
"This…I'll report this first!"
Jing Junhong couldn't be sure and quickly went down to report to the leader.
"Commander, the newly appointed Jingzhao Governor Li Chen has brought several thousand Golden Guards here. He said that he wants to strengthen the Imperial Palace's defense. What do you think…"
Jing Junhong reported to the heavily armored general.
This person was the Black Tortoise Sect's general, Chang He!
He had another hidden identity, and that was…Li Shiming's old subordinate!
"Jingzhao Governor Li Chen? The eldest son of His Highness the King of Qin?"
Chang He frowned as thoughts flashed through his mind.
Why was he here?
Jing Junhong said respectfully,
"I heard that…he has always been at odds with His Highness the King of Qin.”
"Watch your words!"
"Let's go out and meet him."
In his heart, he had already made up his mind-as long as there was no imperial edict from the Emperor, he would definitely not let anyone in!
At such a critical moment, how could there be any changes?
……
"Are you Governor Li?"
Chang He looked down at Li Chen.
"That's right. Open the city gates quickly!"
Li Chen replied.
"Hahaha, Governor Li, you are the Governor of Jingzhao. Why are you meddling in the matters of my internal court?”
Chang He stroked his beard and laughed.
"The defense of the Imperial Palace is not under the command of the Jingzhao Yamen. It is under the direct command of His Majesty!”
"You barged into my internal court without any explanation. Is there an imperial edict? If there is no imperial edict, then you have crossed the line!"
He deliberately raised his voice in the last sentence, and his expression was a little cold.
"I am in charge of the Southern Yamen. The internal court's Zhongshu, Menxia, Shangshu three provinces, political affairs, nine temples and twelve offices are all within the scope of this governor's command!”
To put it in an exaggerated way, if the Governor of Jingzhao did not allow it, the decrees of the three provinces and six ministries could not even leave the internal court!
However, this was a critical period. He had to grit his teeth and defend himself. He could not make the slightest mistake!
Li Chen narrowed his eyes and sneered.
"It's my duty. Please don't blame me!"
Chang He also retorted coldly.
If he offended him, then so be it. As long as he survived today, Li Shiming would definitely protect him!
Li Chen sneered when he heard that. He suddenly took out something from his pocket and waved it at Chang He.
"Commander Chang, do you recognize this item?”
He asked indifferently.
Chang He's eyes glanced over and he was startled. Then, his heart shook!
" Gold... gold token arrow..."
Jing Junhong couldn't help but shiver.
"I have the golden token arrow bestowed by His Majesty. Seeing the golden token arrow is the same as seeing His Majesty!”
Li Chen smiled and asked,
"I wonder if the weight of this gold medal is heavier than the imperial edict?”
Chang He: "@#￥ %…!!"!”
The golden token arrow was the emperor's most important token. It was on the same level as the jade seal!
If the jade seal represented administrative power, then the golden token represented the military power in the hands of the emperor!
Why would His Majesty give such an important thing to Li Chen?!
Countless thoughts flashed through Chang He's mind, and an extremely bad feeling spread in his heart.
Once the Imperial Army was taken over by Li Chen, then His Royal Highness Qin's plan…would be completely ruined!
Who knew if he was a friend or foe, or if he had other intentions…
What made people's scalps go numb was, did His Majesty already know that the King of Qin had made a move, so he handed over the golden token arrow and specially chose today to invite the king into the trap and take down the King of Qin?!
Seeing Chang He on the city gate not answering, Li Chen's tone turned cold,"
"Chang He! Why didn't he open the door to welcome the golden token arrow? Are you trying to rebel?!"
Swoosh!
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade appeared in his hand. His body was covered in a cold green color. In the dark night, it was extremely dazzling and extremely cold!
There was no better killing weapon than this!
If Chang He dared to disobey, he would directly step on the city gate and kill this bastard!
"Commander, open the door…"
Jing Junhong said bitterly,
" Governor Li is, after all, the son of His Highness the King of Qin. Even if he doesn't get along, he probably won't kill him personally. We..."
Chang He waved his hand silently, signaling him to keep quiet.
"Open the door."
he said softly, as if he had used all his strength.
Chang He understood that once the gate was opened and the 3,000 Golden Guards entered the Black Tortoise Gate, Li Chen, who had the golden token arrow, would be the true master of the Imperial City.
"Hehe…Let's go!"
