Chapter 1384 So Be It

y fraught with difficulties. To add to that, the imperial court's expenditures exceed its income, leaving the treasury depleted. Who can say for sure if the Prince won't send a princess as a diplomat...Chapter 1384: What Then

The Prince Ning's attitude was fearless.

He was well aware that, with the current strength of the court and Li Chen, it would be impossible to force him into rebellion.

So the exposure of that arms depot, although King Ning was hotheaded, he didn't think it was a big deal.

What angered him more was Zhou Ping'an's mockery and Zhou Changshou's betrayal.

Therefore, these two people must die.

As for the warehouse being exposed and everyone talking about it, he knew that as long as Li Chen wasn't crazy, he would definitely try his best to cover it up for him.

Even if everyone could see the truth, it wouldn't matter.

In the world of politics, truth is the least valuable thing.

Although Ning Wang's attitude made Li Chen furious, he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and calmly said, "The court will issue an imperial edict stating that all those weapons were secretly authorized by the court to be built by Ning Wang."

Upon hearing this, King Ning revealed a satisfied smile.

He said proudly, "Your Highness is wise."

These four characters, appearing to be flattery, are actually blatant mockery.

For Prince Ning, it was like showing off his strength in front of Li Chen, but Li Chen couldn't do anything about him and even had to find excuses to explain him to others.

This feeling is so good.

Especially after suffering a loss at Li Chen's hands, Ning Wang felt even more elated now that he had managed to turn the tide.

Li Chen spoke lightly, unfazed by Ning Wang's self-satisfaction. He continued, "The purpose of building these weapons is because Ning Wang promised that the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun would go to war and fight the Liao Kingdom."

As soon as those words were spoken, the expression on King Ning's face froze.

Before, he was so proud. Now, King Ning is just as furious.

He raged, “No! Absolutely not!”

Li Chen said calmly, "A weapons arsenal that could equip 50,000 elite soldiers. Uncle Wang, what other reason do you think would convince the world"

"Now everyone in the world is saying that Prince Ning intends to rebel and urges the court to make plans early."

“At this point, we can only tell them that the Imperial Court and Uncle Wang have been secretly preparing for a battle against the Liao army long ago. This way, not only will Uncle Wang’s crimes be washed clean, but he will also be praised by the people of the world. Thus, what was once a bad thing becomes a good thing. What reason does Uncle Wang have to refuse”

"Can bad things turn into good things"

King Ning was furious, but he laughed. "Is this a good thing for you" he said. "600,000 Liao cavalry besieged the Moonlit Gate, and the entire gate is in danger. You've gone mad trying to defend it, but I haven't. Sixteen Yan Yun horsemen are nothing against 600,000 elite Liao troops personally led by Yelü Shenxuan – they would just be cannon fodder! Are you trying to use my wealth to fight your war Who else in the world has a sharper mind than you"

"Uncle Wang."

Li Chen said calmly, "You haven't figured out one thing yet."

"Now you're at the center of national public opinion, not me. If you don't agree, then fine, I'll turn and leave, absolutely no second words, but immediately, in the eyes of the world, there will only be four words: Prince Ning rebels!"

Prince Ning, enraged and struck to his core, blurted out, "Then..."

Then how

Li Chen immediately drank and asked.

This question caused the Prince Ning to swallow the word "no" that had almost left his lips.

He knew that even if he were to do it, there were some things that could not be spoken of after they were done.

Furthermore, especially at a time like this, once that word is spoken, there's no taking it back.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!man, one after the other.Outside, Su Zheting didn't know where to go.Li Chen didn't mind, and he went with the man to a pavilion by the Yu Dai River. There they began to talk.I have heard that the cur...
