ndered how the Crown Prince would be here at this time. He should be staying put in the East Palace, but he came here instead. Could it be that the move they and Zhao Xuanji had previously speculated...Chapter 359: Sealing the Capital City

After a big fall, there is a big rise.

The constant back-and-forth between physical and mental stimulation left Li Chen feeling a surreal kind of exhaustion.

A biting wind whipped through, clearing his head.

He certainly wouldn't punish Sanbao.

Three treasures are powerful guardians, not to mention their past contributions. Even before this, when I needed someone to help with errands, I relied on him.

Therefore, the three treasures are not only innocent but also have made great contributions.

"Get up."

Li Chen gritted his teeth, looking at the mess on the ground, anger surged in his heart.

"Lockdown!"

The remnants of the White Lotus sect are all injured. They can't escape far. We will search house by house, even digging three feet into the ground to capture these rebels!

Li Chen's eyes were cold and gloomy as he said, "The Jinyiwei are short-handed, so go with this palace decree to summon the Yulinwei. This palace doesn't believe they can fly into the sky or disappear into the earth!"

After finishing his words, Li Chen called down the eastern bluebird that was still circling above his head. He gave it to Sibaobao, who was holding it in its claws. Then, Li Chen picked up Wan Jiajiao, who had already fallen into a coma, and said, "Immediately summon Zhang Hezhi over."

Soon, Zhang Hezhi, who was at home with his family preparing for the New Year, scrambled to Li Chen's side.

Li Chen remained silent and pointed at Wan Jiaojiao, who was having her wounds cleaned by a palace maid on the bed.

Zhang Hezhi respectfully bowed, then immediately turned and went to prepare treatment with his medicine chest.

At this moment, Li Chen's voice came from behind him.

"If you can't save her, don't live either."

Zhang Hezhi instantly broke out in a cold sweat, gritting his teeth and saying: "Your humble servant will definitely do his best."

Li Chen flung his sleeves and walked out of the side hall.

Upon arriving at Xizheng Hall, the Three Treasures were seen kneeling in the middle of the hall.

The eastern bluebird has already been carried away by a specialist for treatment. Li Chen looked at him with a face as pale as paper, but his lips were crimson red like the Three Treasures who had drunk their fill of blood. He asked, "Are you hurt"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

The three treasures bowed their heads and said, "I'm fine, I just hurried on the road before and activated a secret method, causing a slight backlash."

"Take what you need to heal yourself from the Eastern Palace's storeroom. Get up."

Li Chen sat on the chair, his eyes cold as he said: "This assassination almost cost this palace my life."

Sān Bǎo got up immediately and replied, "Your Highness, a virtuous person has good fortune and blessings. They won't have any problems."

"Heaven's Phase!"

Li Chen sneered: "If it weren't for Wan Jiaojiao risking her life to save me, if it weren't for this palace's trained sea eagles sacrificing themselves to protect their master, you would be preparing my funeral right now!"

"Never show mercy!"

Li Chen slapped the armrest of the chair with a resounding thud. After the relief of having survived, an overwhelming anger took its place.

Unless I slaughter them into silence, these people will never know fear!

"From the Dongchang, I order you to search across the nation for all members of the White Lotus Sect. Arrest them and bring them back for retrial. Those who have been misled will be dealt with according to law. As for the core members of the White Lotus Sect, regardless of the reason, kill them all!"

"Here in the capital, you and the Imperial Guard will search together! Turn the earth over, find those assassins who escaped today, especially that Saintess!"

San Bao expression became serious, and she said: " I obey your orders."

After a brief pause, Li Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "However, since the Bai Lian Sect has now integrated into the martial world of the Da Qin Empire, it's better to use people from the martial world to deal with matters within it."

Have the East Factory's agents spread the word that the White Lotus Sect possesses an unparalleled sword called the Dragon Slayer. The Dragon Slayer Sword contains a secret martial arts manual from the previous dynasty. Whoever obtains it can become invincible and be crowned the leader of the martial world, commanding the rivers and lakes.

As long as someone believes, they will seek out the White Lotus Sect. The Eastern Factory can just wait for the opportunity to act.d faces numerous obstacles, and one could even say that whoever proposes it will be met with a barrage of opposition from the court. Therefore, Your Highness absolutely must not bring it up yourself."...
