It's not that the ninth prince of Liao Kingdom is incompetent or lacks prestige, but anyone who has been fed two steamed buns for ten or half a month would go crazy at the sight of meat.
At this time, a young eunuch brought an apple to Yelu Guguzhi.
Yelü Guguzhi frowned.
What does it mean
Appetizer fruit
"My Prince, I was thinking, perhaps a little performance before the feast to liven things up And Your Highness could also oblige us by placing an apple on your head."
Li Chen's words made Yelü Guzanqi furious.
"Just say what you want to do, why bother humiliating me with these roundabout ways"
Yelü Guzanqi felt that Li Chen was making a fool of him in public.
As the ninth prince of the Liao Kingdom, his dignity and pride could not bear it.
His reality as a prisoner forced him to compromise.
Gritting his teeth, Yelu Guzanqi finished his threats and obediently held the apple above his head.
While performing the actions, Yelu Guzanqi comforted himself internally.
Hmph, you people from the Central Plains have a saying called "lying down with a mouthful of gall and tasting bitterness," and there are so many famous historical figures who suffered humiliation during their humble beginnings!
As long as this king can live to go back, you all who have seen this king's humiliation, one by one will be trampled into meat paste by my hooves. All the witnesses will die, and no one will know that this king has been so humiliated today. This is called bearing humiliation for a greater purpose!
He who laughs last, laughs best!
With an incredibly active imagination, Yelü Guzanqi raised the apple in his hand. When he saw Li Chen raise a black pole from his grasp and aim it at him, despite never having seen such a thing before, Yelü Guzanqi's instinct made him realize the danger and something being amiss.
"What is this!"
Yelü Guzanqi asked in alarm.
Li Chen ignored him.
He turned his head and asked Song Yingxing beside him.
"What is the furthest effective range during your testing"
Song Yingxing confidently replied, "Reporting to Your Highness, the farthest it can reach is fifty paces."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has.
Su Zhen Ting, next to him, immediately became interested when he heard that the range of this fire-stick had been increased to fifty paces.
If it could truly retain some power at fifty paces, then it would have practical significance on the battlefield.
Li Chen was even more satisfied, so he gestured for Yelu Guzan to take a step back, fifty paces.
Yelü Guguzan became even more panicked.
“Speak clearly! What do you want to do!”
Li Chen replied: "Let the Ninth Prince see the divine weapon of my great Qin that will break the hooves of your grassland tribes in the future."
As soon as these words left his mouth, Li Chen waved his hand.
No matter how vividly Yelü Güzanzhi expressed himself, he was willing or not. Two guards immediately stepped forward, flanking him on either side and pushing him back.
He retreated fully fifty paces.
Li Chen raised his gun again, taking aim.
That sense of crisis immediately returned with Li Chen's raised gun.
Instinct told Yelü Guzanqi that he was in grave danger.
He became increasingly uneasy and blurted out, "Wait..."
Before the second word even left his mouth, BANG!
A gunshot rang out.
That was the gunpowder being ignited, a tremendous amount of energy exploding in the barrel, propelling the bullet out of the gun.
The deafening sound startled everyone.
Apart from Song Yingxing and Guan Zhiwei, who they had already met, everyone else, including Li Chen who was mentally prepared, trembled.
Yelü Guzanqi was also taken aback.
He hadn't even had time to react to the sound of gunfire before he felt something explode above his head. It was like an apple being held above him, suddenly bursting apart with both hands.voice has a heavy nasal tone, have you caught a cold"Li Chen glanced at the empty teacup and said, "I caught a bit of a cold from the rain last night, but I've already seen the imperial physician.
