Chapter 1842: ExplosionChapter 819 He Kun's Method

"How many of your men at the Moon Gate are reliable"

Li Chen chewed on those words repeatedly, letting out a cold snort.

If someone else said this, Li Chen could just ignore it.

But as a high-ranking official in the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Tiannan directly said such words, which is enough to prove that there are very serious problems inside Yueya Pass.

Looking down at He Kun kneeling in the Xizheng Hall, Li Chen said: "Not bad, you did a good job with this. Xiao Tiannan is still useful, and now is not the time to burn bridges."

A powerful insider is worth more than a thousand troops.

Just ask Zhao Xuanji.

One Zhao Xuanji, at the very least, set back the destiny of the Qin Dynasty by fifty years or more.

Xiao Tiannan, in terms of both methods and his position in the Liao Kingdom, cannot compare to Zhao Xuanji of the Great Qin. However, if it weren't for this opportunity, it would be nearly impossible to plant such a nail in the Liao Kingdom.

So this person, still needs to keep baiting the hook for a bigger fish.

Seeing Li Chen praising himself, He Kun's face lit up, and he quickly said, "Everything depends on Your Highness's wisdom and martial prowess..."

"These compliments are not to my liking."

Li Chen waved his hand and said faintly, "If this palace were really so wise and martial, there wouldn't be so many corrupt officials in the court."

He Kun immediately said, "Serious illnesses are not caused overnight, Your Highness needn't blame yourself too much. Now the court, under your governance, has improved a lot. It takes time to step by step."

He Kun then changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, regarding the prince of Liao, I have a suggestion."

He Kun understood the ways of governing, knowing that speaking too much often led to mistakes. Therefore, he rarely volunteered his opinions unless Li Chen asked him.

This way, although it may seem like Li Chen is mediocre and unambitious, he won't make mistakes because of having too many ideas or speaking too much.

Therefore, when Li Chen heard him take the initiative to suggest something, he became interested and said, "Tell me more."

He Kun first bowed to Li Chen, then said: "Actually, this also depends on your decision, Your Highness. Do you hope to see Yelü Shenxuan leave the borders of the Great Qin State safely"

Li Chen didn't reveal his true thoughts, just saying: "Tell me about both options."

He Kun smiled faintly and said, "In fact, no matter how the prince considers it, the methods are all the same. The only difference is when to start taking action."

"Your Highness, with all due respect, might I request the map of Yueya Pass"

Li Chen waved his hand and ordered, "Come here, bring the map."

Soon, a high-precision map of the Moonlit Gate, which would be absolutely impossible to circulate outside, appeared before He Kun.

When He Kun saw the map, he was astonished to find that it not only marked the terrain and landscape near Yueya Pass, but even the military deployments. In particular, the inscription "Imperial Scroll Drawn in the Sixteenth Year of Da Xing" at the top of the map indicated that this was a map only the Emperor or Crown Prince could directly view. Anyone else caught looking at it would face the consequences of having their family destroyed.

"My humble subject thanks Your Highness for your trust."

After bowing and thanking him, He Kun pointed to the area south of Yueya Pass, which belonged to the territory of the Qin State, and said: "Your humble servant dares to make a hypothesis. If Yueya Pass is breached, the first area to be hit will be this one, which will welcome the trampling of the Liao cavalry. And this entire area, besides being the land of the Qin State, also has another identity, that of King Ning's fiefdom."

Lowering his voice, He Kun's eyes gleamed with a sly light as he said, "In this case, Prince Ning would definitely not stand idly by."kicked open from the outside.The sudden change and commotion startled those inside.Jin Rui stood up first, angrily shouting, "Who! Who is so bold!"Just then, a large group of Jinyiwei burst in from ou...
