Chapter 552: Duantai Jing's Entry into ServiceChapter 1470: This King, A Humble Apology

Some words, when spoken, are like letting out a fart—completely pointless and without any real effect.

Similar to a national curse, three character classic.

But there are still some things, once said, become incredibly serious, almost like words have power.

The higher one's position, the more carefully one must choose their words, because for those in high positions, every word spoken becomes a decree when it reaches those below.

The higher someone's status, the more they value words.

The King of Ning is like this, and naturally, Li Chen is even more so.

As soon as those words left Ye Ning's mouth, King Ning's face instantly darkened like a stormy cloud, and the murderous intent in his heart almost boiled over.

At this moment, he had some regrets.

Regrets not going all out to kill Li Chen in Jincheng.

I regret taking that second step back and following Wu Qingshuang to Yueyaguan.

The previous two concessions and compromises, had the King Ning made a different choice at any point, the current situation would be drastically different.

Now, King Ning knows what it means to retreat step by step.

Li Chen always has valid reasons to make concessions. Based on the situation and circumstances, his retreats are completely justifiable.

Those who aspire to great things do not mind small details.

King Ning believed himself to be a mighty lord vying for control of the Central Plains. Now that Li Chen was young and ambitious, relying on his strength to make a show of it, what could he do

In ancient times, Han Xin endured the humiliation of being under someone's crotch, and later commanded the three armies to establish a magnificent Jiangshan for the Han Dynasty.

Now that he can bear this temporary humiliation, the king will wait for the day when he wears a dragon robe and ascends to the throne on Mount Tai. By then, who in the world will dare to laugh at his current hardship

King Ning kept finding excuses for himself, but he was very clear about one thing.

With each concession he made, now for the third time, Li Chen's cards grew increasingly powerful.

The reasons why he had to retreat were becoming increasingly compelling.

This is an extremely dangerous signal.

Slowly exhaling, King Ning said coldly, "Prince, today, you are forcing this king to act inappropriately, aren't you"

"To comfort the dead, to soothe the living, this justice, I shall reclaim."

Li Chen's simple sentence made King Ning laugh coldly. He gave Zhou Changshou a look of disdain and then said to Li Chen, "The day before yesterday, he could betray me, and the day after tomorrow, he can betray you just like he betrayed me, Crown Prince. I hope you take care of yourself."

After finishing his words, the King of Ning turned around and paid his respects to Cai He's coffin with a respectful bow.

"May the departed rest in peace. This king, offers his apologies."

A single sentence sent chills down Zhou Changshou's spine.

He looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and said to King Ning, "Li Zidao, for the revenge of killing my wife, I will never share the same heaven with you!"

King Ning sneered, "A dog who lost his home, you can't even protect yourself, yet you dare to talk big words. Zhou Changshou, while you were by my side, I treated you well, but you betrayed me. Today's events will serve as a lesson for you. I only regret that it wasn't you lying in the coffin. But don't worry, soon, it will be your turn. Go down to the underworld and tell Yama about your hatred!"

Having finished speaking, King Ning turned his head and fixed his gaze on Li Chen, saying each word with deliberation: "Crown Prince, this gift, this king is good. This king can leave now"

Li Chen said faintly, "Uncle Wang comes and goes as he pleases."

King Ning let out a cold laugh and was about to get up when he heard Li Chen say again, "However, the Battle of Yueya Pass is currently at its peak. Uncle Wang might as well stay for two more days and watch with this palace how I will crush the 600,000 Liao cavalry into dust"
