artments and mid-level roles within the imperial court's central institutions are held by their disciples. Their power base is vast and deep, something the current East Palace simply cannot match.And...Chapter 947: Hard to Refuse

All the celestial beings in the Heavenly Realm of Huangji have gone mad.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder: how could there be such shameless people in the world

Before I got it, I shamelessly pressed on, disregarding others' discomfort.

Upon learning that the cost was extremely high, he immediately changed his attitude.

Feeling a tightness in his chest, the Celestial Emperor Huangji chuckled and suddenly had a stroke of inspiration. He bowed to Li Chen and said, "Your Highness, Crown Prince of Great Qin, I have an unseemly request, I wonder if it's appropriate to speak of it"

"Don't say that."

Li Chen refused without hesitation.

At this moment, Huangji Tian was copying the method he used when he needed to pass on intelligence. He disregarded the other party's predicament and forcefully put forth a request.

Anyone who still cares about face, just like the emperor's own celestial being moments ago, would always find it hard to refuse.

Most importantly, Huangji Tian himself knows that although this channel seems to be effective, the cost is too high. Even they themselves think it's not worth it, let alone others.

That's why he felt confident enough to speak his mind.

And now, Huangji Tian used Li Chen's method against Li Chen and actually failed!

Li Chen's ruthless three words left Huangji Tian extremely embarrassed.

Looking at Huangji Tian, who seemed momentarily speechless, Li Chen burst into laughter and said, "Your Majesty, I was just teasing you. Thirteenth Brother, if you have a request, just speak up. If it's something I can do, I will certainly fulfill it."

This is a psychological tactic.

Li Chen didn't want Huang Ji Tian to think that the saying "What goes around comes around" could be used against him. He wanted to first lower Huang Ji Tian's expectations and then let him suggest it. This way, if things really got complicated, at least there would be a buffer zone and psychological preparation.

Huangji Tian let out a wry smile, but still said: "As for the Qin Divine Thunder, I wonder if Your Highness could give me a few"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and shook his head.

shook with absolute determination.

It's not that he wouldn't give it to them, nor was he afraid that the Jin Kingdom would learn the technology of grenades. It wasn't that he looked down on them, because even with another thirty years, their technological level wouldn't allow them to understand this thing.

But Li Chen really didn't have any extra goods on hand.

The hype about a war involving millions of people that was previously touted has died down. Li Chen can't contradict himself.

Then he said to the Thirteenth Brother with a heavy heart: "Brother Thirteen, don't misunderstand me. It's not that this palace is stingy and unwilling to give it. The power of the Great Qin Divine Thunder, you have seen it, it is indeed powerful. This thing is most afraid of collisions and violent shaking. If there are no experienced craftsmen, we can't grasp its stability at all."

"I can give you some Qin dynasty thunderbolts to play with, that's no problem. But what if the 13th brother accidentally explodes one while playing with it If the Jin state comes looking for trouble, how would I explain"

"If this thing were to explode close up, don't even talk about a whole body. Over a hundred steel balls exploding outwards would leave nothing bigger than a palm-sized chunk of flesh intact. I doubt Thirteen Brother wants to experience that firsthand, right"

The emperor's extreme heaven stiffened his neck and glanced at the dilapidated, riddled tree not far away. He then looked back at the deep pit left by the grenade explosion earlier. Suddenly, he nodded vigorously with a newfound understanding.

"Yes, Your Highness is right. I was indeed rash. Let us discuss this another time."

Patting Huangjitian on the shoulder, Li Chen said: "Thirteen Brother, don't be disappointed. The second generation of this device is already under development. When it comes out, its stability and reliability will be improved. At that time, I'll send a few more to Thirteen Brother to play with. Just between you and me, it's just a matter of saying a word."ace does not trust either kind to stay by its side.""What truly troubles this palace is..."Xu Changqing heard this and took the secret edict. After a careful look, he immediately frowned.The above con...
