ghness to agree to.""Speak," Li Chen said, frowning."Your Highness, there is only Wan Jiaojiao by your side now. While she can serve you well in your daily life, if a similar incident were to occur ag...Chapter 1474: What's the Rush

What is Wang Shu thinking about

Li Chen's voice broke Ning Wang's train of thought.

King Ning glanced at Li Chen, feeling a sense of unease in his heart.

Don't you know what I think

Still putting on a show and asking this question!

His heart was filled with discontent, but Ning Wang didn't show it on his face. He said calmly: "I didn't think much of it, just that the Crown Prince was thoughtful and had so many tricks up his sleeve. I was just a bit surprised."

Li Chen chuckled lightly and said, "Actually, Uncle Wang has overthought this. Father once taught me that a ruler should only show three parts of himself to the public, while keeping two parts hidden privately. As for the last two parts, they should never be shown unless absolutely necessary."

Raising an eyebrow, Li Chen said, "Uncle Wang, do you think I still have two tricks up my sleeve"

King Ning's eyes darkened, he did not answer Li Chen's question, but only said lightly: "It seems that the Crown Prince has learned truly from his elder brother."

In Ning Wang's view, Li Chen's words were not false at all.

He had fought with the Great Emperor for half his life, and in the end, he lost. He lost because of the last two tricks the Great Emperor had hidden up his sleeve when pushed to his limit.

So he didn't think Li Chen was really deceiving him.

Li Chen smiled and said, "That's natural. My father has taught me many things, but it's not convenient to say them all."

"Speaking of which, Li Chen patted his forehead and suddenly said: 'When I was chatting with my father before, I heard my father say that actually, the eldest emperor's most favored heir apparent was Uncle Wang, not my father' "

Once those words left Li Chen's mouth, everyone in the council hall except him and King Ning pretended not to hear a word. Even if they heard, they decided to keep it all to themselves, never mentioning it again for the rest of their lives.

This involves the throne, and it's a dispute over the imperial position of the previous generation. If too many people know about it, it wouldn't be good for them at all.

The King of Ning remained expressionless, coldly saying: "This king is skilled in martial arts, indeed greatly loved by the late emperor. However, the late emperor favored his elder brother most. This king merely excels slightly; in other aspects, he cannot compare to his elder brother at all."

"What my elder brother and His Highness said was merely flattery, a way to give me face. It's nothing to be taken seriously."

Ning Wang's concession was within Li Chen's expectations.

If King Ning were to gleefully and smugly admit these words at this moment, then he would no longer be the formidable King Ning who holds sway over the northwest.

"Uncle Wang is truly too modest. Your abilities, Uncle Wang, are well-known to both myself and the Emperor. Among all the princes in the land, if we were to rank them by capability, you would be second to none."

Li Chen's words elicited a muffled grunt from King Ning. He calmly replied, "Since all the guests we needed to see have arrived, Your Highness, could you perhaps allow this king to return to the military camp"

"What's the rush"

Li Chen waved his hand, he naturally couldn't let King Ning go back so easily.

Once the King Ning and the Eighteen Riders of Yan Cloud join forces, then they truly become a major threat to Yueya Pass. Li Chen would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

“Previously, in Jincheng, this palace was well-treated by Uncle Wang. Now that I've arrived at Yueya Pass, how could I not have a good chat with Uncle Wang Uncle Wang, don't rush back. No matter how urgent or important the matter is, it's better to take things slow, one step at a time. Right now, Uncle Wang should stay and have a good talk with this palace. This palace is young and inexperienced, and there are many things I don't understand. I need Uncle Wang to enlighten me. Would Uncle Wang be willing”Chapter 1590: There's a Trick
