Chapter 15 [Disappeared]

The Eastern Palace has six commanders, each with 500 men. On weekdays, they are stationed in various places in the imperial city and take turns to perform guard duties at the Eastern Palace every day.

Unless it is an emergency, these three thousand troops are not allowed to gather in one place.

In the feudal dynasty, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace has always been an extremely special existence.

In a sense, it would pose a threat to imperial power.

The emperor has to train the prince, but also has to guard against him, which is contradictory.

Throughout history, there have been countless examples of emperors deposing the Eastern Palace or the Eastern Palace rebelling.

The six generals of the Eastern Palace have a total of 3,000 troops, which is already very few.

If the emperor trusted the prince, he would sometimes make an exception and allow him to have 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Li Chengqian knew clearly that Emperor Qing still trusted him with three thousand troops.

After all, in this imperial city, not to mention Emperor Qing’s 100,000 imperial guards, there are as many as 10,000 red-armored knights.

Chen Pingping's Black Knights are unrivaled in combat power in the world.

Therefore, Li Chengqian's three thousand troops were not enough to fill the gaps in the emperor's teeth and could not pose any threat to Emperor Qing.

In this way, you will naturally feel at ease.

Li Chengqian was naturally aware of this, so he dared to openly gather three thousand troops.

This day.

The prince's departure from the Eastern Palace immediately attracted the attention of all parties.

It has been a long time since the Crown Prince left the Eastern Palace.

Now, he suddenly moved, which naturally aroused people's curiosity.

Royal study room.

"Your Majesty, judging from the direction the Crown Prince left, he was probably heading to where the Sixth Army is stationed."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing's hand, which was reviewing the memorials, paused slightly, then returned to normal.

Recently, he has been paying special attention to the prince's actions, and would have someone report to him at the slightest sign of trouble.

"What is he going to do now?" Emperor Qing asked.

The old eunuch, Lord Hou, stood respectfully aside and did not respond.

After serving in person for many years, he has developed a very good eye and knows exactly when to speak and when to keep silent.

Emperor Qing was still confident about Li Chengqian, so he didn't think too much about it.

Guangxin Palace.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince went to where the Sixth Army was stationed. He issued an order today for everyone to gather together, but it doesn't look like they are going to take any action."

"What does he want to do by gathering everyone together at this time?" Li Yunrui frowned slightly.

In the past, the prince would visit him once every three days.

But recently, since that night, Li Chengqian has never come to her Guangxin Palace again.

Where the six generals of the Eastern Palace are stationed.

Li Chengqian stood on the high platform, looking at the three thousand soldiers and horses below.

In terms of quality alone, they are obviously much weaker than the Red Armored Knights, the Black Knights, and the Prince's Guards.

Li Chengqian was determined to train these 3,000 troops into the most powerful force in the world, able to defeat a hundred enemies with one.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Three thousand soldiers knelt on one knee in unison, their movements in unison.

This scene really makes people's blood boil.

Li Chengqian stood on the high platform and raised his hand slightly, "Everyone, please stand up!"

"Today, I have summoned you all to gather here for three main things."

Li Chengqian's voice was full of energy and spread throughout the venue.

These three thousand people had all taken the Life and Death Pill in batches before Li Chengqian arrived.

What he didn't expect was that more than half of the prince's guard were arranged by Emperor Qing.

As for the rest, there are various forces mixed in.

There is the Inspection Office, the eldest princess, and Minister Lin...

In short, no one truly belongs to the Eastern Palace.

At that time, when Li Chengqian heard Uncle Fu's report, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.

Although he had anticipated this, he never imagined that among the six generals of the Eastern Palace, with a force of three thousand men, not a single one was his.

It turns out that except for him, everyone else around him is an undercover agent!
In this situation, if he rebelled, he would be exposed and would definitely fail. One has to sigh that Emperor Qing is really an old fox. He gave him 3,000 troops, more than half of which were his own people.

However, good things can also turn into bad things.

Now, after taking the life and death pill, these people have completely become his people.

Moreover, each of them is a double agent.

The advantage is that as long as Li Chengqian does not rebel, all his actions will be under the watchful eyes of the public, so they can rest assured about him.

Just like today, three thousand troops gathered, but there was no reaction from the court. Emperor Qing could rest assured and would not be suspicious.

That's the benefit.

"First of all, I will grant you a special privilege: you can see me in the future without kneeling!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three thousand soldiers looked up in surprise.

First, grant dignity.

"The second thing is, I brought a lot of skills today, and you can all study them."

The second point is to grant skills and qualifications.

After taking the Life and Death Pill, everyone's qualifications were greatly improved.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

You know, martial arts secrets have always been kept as the bottom of the box, and can only be passed on to the closest relatives.

Now, the prince gave them the skills.

Such great kindness...

All three thousand men looked excited.

Everyone present had personally experienced the torture of the Nine Nether Hell caused by the Life and Death Pill, so naturally they would not have the intention to rebel.

Now, by giving them dignity and skills, they immediately won the hearts of the people.

"Third, your parents will be supported by the East Palace from now on. If you die, the pension will be paid tenfold. Your children will be able to go to school and live a different life."

The third reward made everyone below blush with excitement, and they held their weapons tightly.

"Your Highness, does this count?"

Below, someone mustered up the courage to ask.

"I swear here that if anyone goes against what I said today, I will be condemned by both humans and gods, and I will be punished by heaven and earth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three thousand soldiers knelt on the ground in unison, with a roar that shook the heavens.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Behind him, Uncle Fu, who had a head full of white hair and a long sword in his hand, was waiting on Li Chengqian's left. He nodded secretly, very satisfied.

Looking at the back of the young man in front of me, I was shocked.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now has the appearance of an emperor compared to before.

Before this, everyone in the court knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was weak and incompetent.

But now, he saw a different prince.

But in just a few moments, these three thousand men followed him wholeheartedly.

Uncle Fu believed that if an assassin showed up here now, he would be devoured alive by these three thousand men, leaving no trace of his body.

This time, Li Chengqian not only brought martial arts techniques, but also brought special forces training methods.

From today on, these three thousand people will undergo hellish and arduous training.

Just then, someone suddenly came to report.

"Your Highness, the second son of the Lin family wants to see you. He doesn't look very good, as if he wants to eat someone."

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

Lin Gong's face was gloomy. He came in front of Li Chengqian, knelt down immediately, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and his lips were bloody.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian's heart suddenly skipped a beat. If it wasn't a big deal, Lin Gong wouldn't kneel on the ground, let alone in such a posture.

"Tell me what's the matter." Li Chengqian said calmly.

He reminded himself in his heart that he must remain calm when encountering things.

"Your Highness, all the money from the disaster relief sale has disappeared." Lin Gong's face was a little pale.

It didn't go missing, nor was it stolen; it just disappeared.

Li Chengqian didn't say anything, but just stared at him for a long time, "Say it again!"
