smiled and said, "There is indeed a small matter that needs your help, Liu."Saying that, Chen Tong waved his hand and said sternly, "Bring the person up."Immediately, a middle-aged man with disheveled...Chapter 1475: This Coward, I Admit
"Your Highness's gracious invitation, this king naturally wouldn't refuse."
Seeing Li Chen's words block his own retreat, although King Ning was anxious and displeased in his heart, he could only temporarily agree for now.
He wore an expression of helpless resignation, as if suddenly remembering something, and said, "Speaking of which, this king knows quite a bit about the Moonlit Pass. If Your Highness is willing, why not accompany this king for a walk"
Li Chen didn't think much of it and readily agreed, "Uncle Wang invited me, how could this palace refuse This palace will make some arrangements and go with Uncle Wang immediately."
"However, King Ning stated, “Your Highness and I are nephew and uncle. My nephew and I should simply reminisce as family, there is no need for any elaborate arrangements. Your Highness and I can travel together.”
These words sent a chill down Li Chen's spine.
King Ning knew that keeping him was to prevent him from joining forces with the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun, thereby giving him the power to overturn the table. This is beyond doubt.
Under this premise, it was strange that King Ning didn't resist and agreed to stay.
At this point, not only did he agree to stay, but he also requested to spend time alone with me. This was really baffling.
Li Chen looked at King Ning, and said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Uncle Wang, there was just an assassination attempt. This palace is a little afraid."
Prince Ning said faintly, "Your Highness possesses the bearing of a great ruler and is destined to rule the world. How can you be so hesitant over such a trivial matter A son of the Li royal family is by no means a weakling."
You're resorting to scare tactics now.
Li Chen said meaningfully, "Uncle Wang is so insistent. Could it be that you want your nephew to suffer a bit"
This is quite blunt.
The prince remained unfazed, calmly replying, "If Your Highness is afraid, then consider this conversation never happened. I would simply ask for a place to rest, and I will leave when Your Highness deems it appropriate."
Li Chen's eyebrows arched slightly, but she didn't speak.
"The King of Ning added, "It's just that the men under my command haven't read much and are a bit impulsive. Many things require me to explain personally, otherwise they might not be able to wait long, and then delay Your Highness's important matters, wouldn't that be unfortunate"
I can wait, but 150,000 Yan Yun cavalry may not be able to.
They revolted, and the consequences are yours to bear.
The meaning, in King Ning's words and deeds, is clear.
Li Chen pondered for a moment.
Ning Wang, again with threats and intimidation, clearly wanted to be alone with me.
The more urgent King Ning's desires became, and the more ruthless his methods, the more Li Chen ... could not follow his lead.
Although he didn't know what King Ning planned, Li Chen was very clear about one thing: King Ning and himself were enemies, not friends.
Once you understand these things, the decision becomes much easier to make.
"Bring me the best accommodations for the Prince. The Prince enjoys peace and quiet, so no one is to disturb him. Anyone who violates this order will be executed."
Li Chen said a bland sentence, revealing a hint of timidity, but also highlighting his decisiveness.
He's a coward, too cowardly to be alone with the King of Ning.
He decisively, resolutely admitted to his cowardice.
King Ning's eyes widened, and he felt a surge of anger welling up inside him.
In his eyes, Li Chen, who achieved success at a young age, was full of vigor and possessed considerable talent. He should have been the most arrogant person, yet he admitted defeat so simply and decisively, which left King Ning with a feeling of powerlessness, like punching cotton.Chapter 750: Scolding the Empress
