"What if I were a useless fool" Li Chen blurted out instinctively.

That is the time when the Li royal family should be extinguished, and the Qin Empire's national destiny reaches its end.

Wu Qingcang's single sentence, like a heavy hammer, weighed heavily on Li Chen's heart.

"His Majesty has already considered all of this."

But as I said before, heaven, earth, and man all play a part. They are not in the emperor's control. All the emperor can do is spend ten years laying the groundwork, buying time for your highness, for the Qin Empire, and for the Li royal family to seek a chance to survive. And your highness, you are that only hope.

Li Chen took a deep breath.

If it weren't for my own time travel, based on the previous life's virtue, one could only say that "like father, like son." The emperor's wish to have a capable heir was probably doomed to fail, and it served him right that the Qin Empire met its end.

Could it be that one's own ability to travel through time means there really is such a thing as fate, with every action and reaction carefully orchestrated

If there wasn't, how could all this be explained, along with my own time travel

For a moment, Li Chen felt his mind was in turmoil.

"Then, you are also the ones left to this palace by Father Emperor" Li Chen asked.

That's right.

Wu Qingcang nodded, got up, then flicked his robe, knelt firmly before Li Chen, and clasped his fists in a deep voice: "Soldier Wu Qingcang, receiving the imperial decree of His Majesty, has waited for Your Highness at Taimiao for thirteen years. Now, he belongs to Your Highness's command, listening to Your Highness's orders."

Wu Qingcang's tone was calm, but with an undeniable mix of excitement and emotion.

No matter what agreement the great emperor had made with him at first, he resolutely gave up all bright futures and waited in the ancestral temple for thirteen years.

A full thirteen years.

A person can have only a few thirteen years.

What's more, it is the best thirteen years for a man to achieve fame and fortune.

Thirteen years ago, Wu Qingsang was the brightest star in the empire, known as the second god of war. Even Su Zhenning's brilliance was overshadowed by him.

Yet he vanished without a trace, sweeping the floors of this grand temple for thirteen years.

Now, thirteen years have passed. The once dazzling star has become a middle-aged man with streaks of gray in his temples, and his mission has also changed.

Just as he did thirteen years ago when he received the Imperial Edict from the Great Emperor, he would follow orders and dedicate the rest of his time to Li Chen, assisting the Crown Prince in ascending the throne.

Li Chen bent down and reached out to pull Wu Qingcang up. He looked at him intently and said, "The Li royal family is indebted to you."

Wu Qingcang, upon hearing this, took a deep breath and then laughed with an air of nonchalance: "Your Highness overstates it. It's just the duty of a subject."

Nodding, Li Chen didn't say anything more.

Right now, all of this is just Wu Qingshang's family saying, even if its credibility is very high, Li Chen won't completely and utterly believe him because of these words.

Right now, there's a chance to test it out.

"Then tell this palace, is the Moonlit Pass still completely under our control"

Wu Qingcang replied: "The overall situation in Yueya Pass can be divided into three factions. The most powerful is my younger brother Wu Banshan's side, which is considered the orthodox faction, responsible for defending Yueya Pass and dealing with the Liao Kingdom."

“Another faction is made up of people loyal to King Ning. For years, King Ning has never stopped infiltrating Yueya Pass. Now, he's starting to see some results after all. After all, human hearts are hard to read and even harder to defend. There will always be those who can’t bear the hardships at Yueya Pass and want a taste of comfort.”

As for the third faction, they belong to Zhao Xuanji. Zhao Xuanji has never given up on Yuanyang Pass either. Besides my brother, he has also infiltrated others.t slap never had the courage to land."You're crazy!"Zhao Qinglan rebuked angrily.Li Chen did not answer.He reached out and seized Zhao Qinglan's wrist before she could dodge, pulling her back into his...
