Only in this way can he live up to his father's expectations and the trust of the people.
Prince Fusu sat at the dining table, opposite Li Chen.
Their conversation was suddenly interrupted by Fusu, who asked about the current situation of the Jinyiwei.
Li Chen truthfully reported the daily surveillance of officials. Fusu nodded after listening and motioned him to continue.
However, after a brief silence, Li Chen seemed to have something else to say.
When Fusu saw that Li Chen did not retreat immediately, he frowned slightly, with some doubt in his eyes.
"Li Chen, you seem to have something else to say?"
Li Chen hesitated for a moment, finally took a deep breath, and spoke in a slightly low voice.
"Sir, I encountered an assassination attempt yesterday."
"Assassination?"
Fusu was shocked when he heard this, and his face instantly became solemn.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Li Chen lowered his head, with a hint of self-blame in his voice.
"I was afraid that you would worry, and... and I have already taken care of it, and did not let the assassin succeed."
After hearing this, Fusu felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
He was well aware of Li Chen's loyalty and sense of responsibility towards him, but at this moment he was more worried about his safety.
He stared at Li Chen, trying to see more information from his face.
"Who is the assassin? Do you have any clues?"
Li Chen shook his head and replied.
"The assassin was a ruthless man who wanted to die. He did not leave any clues. But I guess there must be a conspiracy behind this."
After hearing this, Fusu frowned.
He understood that this assassination was by no means accidental and there must be some ulterior motive behind it.
He said in a deep voice: "Li Chen, this matter is of great importance. We must investigate it thoroughly. Do you know what the characteristics of the assassin are?"
Li Chen recalled and answered.
"The assassin was tall and agile, and he used a short sword. He was ruthless and seemed well-trained."
After Fusu heard this, he felt something in his heart.
He understood that such an assassin was by no means comparable to an ordinary person in the martial arts world, and must be a professionally trained assassin.
He said in a deep voice: "I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, so please don't make it public for now."
"At the same time, you must also strengthen your own defenses and never let this happen again."
Li Chen nodded in agreement, saying that he would be careful.
However, he felt an indescribable worry in his heart.
He knew that this assassination not only concerned his own safety, but also the safety of the entire Qin Dynasty.
He is fully aware of the weight of his responsibility and that he must remain vigilant at all times.
When Fusu saw Li Chen’s serious expression, he couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
He understood that Li Chen was one of his most capable assistants, and his safety was directly related to his own safety.
He said in a deep voice: "Li Chen, don't worry, I will send someone to protect you secretly."
"At the same time, I will also strengthen the guards of the palace to ensure your safety."
After hearing this, Li Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He was well aware of Prince Fusu's care and trust in him, and he also knew that he had to work harder to live up to this trust.
He replied respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, sir. I will be careful in my actions."
In the Qin Dynasty palace, the lights were brightly on, and the conversation between Prince Fusu and Li Chen continued.
Li Chen just mentioned the assassination attempt he encountered yesterday.
Fusu's expression instantly became solemn, and his voice revealed obvious blame and worry.
Fusu stared at Li Chen closely, with complex light flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"Li Chen, why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
