Chapter 1343: Xiaoguo's Ruthlessness
Therefore, throughout history, the area within two zhang of a monarch was an absolute forbidden zone.

While He Long, has obviously stepped over that red line.
Xiao Wa's single word of treason caused He Long to abruptly withdraw his foot that had already stepped out.
Perhaps it wasn't just because of Xiaogzi's words, but also because the gleam of swords drawn from their scabbards by the Jinyiwei surrounding him.
Gritting his teeth, He Long suppressed his anger and bowed to Li Chen, saying: "This subordinate, the commander of the Gan-Shaanxi military region, pays respects to His Royal Highness the Prince. Due to my armor, I am unable to perform a grand bow. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
The Qin Empire had many rules that exempted people from formal etiquette. One such rule was that military leaders on duty were not required to perform the full kneeling bow as a sign of respect.
In most cases, a commander, to show respect and deference, would at least perform a single-knee bow.
And at this moment, He Long stood directly, cupping his fist and bowing. Although this was in accordance with etiquette, there was no doubt that he was showing Li Chen power.
Looking back, the three or five generals who were still riding their horses behind him added to the intimidating presence of the situation.
Li Chen did not respond to He Long's words, but instead glanced at Xiaozi.
He said faintly, “Xiaozi, before the king’s carriage arrives, who can remain on horseback?”
Xiaozi didn't expect the prince to ask him this question at this juncture. Without any hesitation, Xiaozi answered almost instinctively: "According to the laws of our dynasty, those who are over ancient years can enter the court without kneeling. Those who have made great contributions to the society and nation of our dynasty can see that the ruler does not kneel. Those with only a loyal widow remaining in their family can be seen as unbowing."
"And seeing that you do not dismount your horse, if it is not by your special permission, otherwise all shall be deemed as disrespectful to Your Majesty and shall be put to death!"
Li Chen asked again, "Why did those generals not dismount and pay their respects when they saw this palace?"

As soon as those words left his mouth, He Long's pupils contracted sharply.
Xiaoguangzi instantly regained his composure. A flash of malice crossed his clear eyes.
He understood this was the Crown Prince's way of responding to He Long's display of power while also testing him.
If I don't have the guts to fight for Your Highness's face, then the next one who dies will be me.
Having figured these things out, Xiaozi no longer hesitated. He borrowed a long sword from a Jinyiwei guard. Holding the long sword that shimmered with cold light, Xiaozi quickly walked to the front of the few generals who were still on their horses and at a loss.
"Upon seeing you, I did not dismount my horse. I consider this an act of disrespect towards your majesty...and thus, you shall be punished!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xiaozi raised his hand and plunged a knife directly into the heart of the current commander.
Although the general saw Xiaozi approaching, he didn't believe Li Chen would be so bold until the blade pierced his heart. He thought the young eunuch wasn't capable of such a thing, and this was all just an act that would be stopped at the last moment.
"Calling a halt is calling a halt, unfortunately the one who called it was He Long."
"Stop!!!"
He Long's teeth were bared in a snarl, a roar of fury still trembling in his chest when Xiaozi’s blade pierced the general’s heart. The white blade went in, the red came out, drawing a spray of blood that soaked Xiaozi from head to toe.
The scalding blood drenched Xiaogzi's body from the waist down. He clutched a sharp blade in his hand, his face contorted with murderous frenzy, his eyes blazing like those of a wild beast as he relentlessly stalked towards the next general.
At this moment, the general seeing everything unfold, no longer dared to have any illusions of luck. He shouted: "Commander, save me!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the others scrambled and slid off their horses.
