Chapter 1466: Your Highness, Please

    

ere divided. A young general walked swiftly from the ranks and arrived before the East Palace gate. He knelt excitedly halfway, raised his hand, and shouted loudly: "I am Su Pingbei, reporting to Your...Chapter 1466: Your Majesty, Please

Two dull thuds.

Not until Wu Qingscang finished relaying Li Chen's words did the two guards' bodies crash to the ground.

Blood instantly spilled everywhere.

King Ning looked at the corpse of his own guardsman at his feet, then at Wu Qingsang. The anger in his chest was like oil being heated over a raging fire.

He laughed with rage, his face contorted. "Wu Qingcang, if it were the Crown Prince here, I might still hold back a bit. But you dare to stand on my head and act so arrogantly Do you really think I am made of mud"

"Today, I will personally execute you right here on the battlefield. Even the Crown Prince wouldn't dare seek revenge."

Wu Qingcang's face was expressionless, and he said calmly: "Your Highness is so confident, it's nothing more than being sure that the strength in His Royal Highness's hands is weak right now. If it weren't for being pushed to the extreme, he wouldn't turn against Your Highness."

"Isn't that so" the King Ning sneered.

"Of course."

Wu Qingcang nodded, but then changed the subject, saying, "But what if, Your Highness, you have a new card in hand"

King Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, then he burst into laughter: "Wu Qingcang, it seems you are not as capable as you claim. Even if you want to deceive, you need a decent excuse. Your tricks couldn't fool even a three-year-old."

Wu Qingcang said coldly: "Your Highness, 300,000 gold troops can arrive under Yueya Pass within twelve hours. They... are the reinforcements of our great Qin."

After he spoke, silence descended upon the heavens and earth.

Even ordinary soldiers found this news unbelievable, let alone Prince Ning, whose political and military acumen far surpassed that of any common soldier countless times over.

Wu Qingcang looked at the shock and disbelief appearing on Ning Wang's face, just like when he first heard the news not long ago. His heart was filled with glee.

Matters between the Qin and Liao dynasties were always solely between those two nations, with no involvement from third parties.

Also, the internal affairs of the Qin Dynasty have always been the Qin Dynasty's own business. Besides the Liao Kingdom, no other third party has ever appeared.

Today, this third party suddenly appeared.

As soon as they appeared,

they marched into the Qin Dynasty with an army of 300,000.

This sudden news was enough to shake the entire Qin political arena to its core.

This includes Prince Ning as well.

When Ning Wang heard the news, his first thought was whether the 300,000 golden army was here to deal with him or the Liao army.

He did not doubt the veracity of the message.

Even if Li Chen were crazy, he wouldn't joke about something like this.

Twelve hours, they won't change anything at all.

Once the twelve hours had passed and there was still no sign of the Jin army, Li Chen would face ruin and disgrace.

Based on the one exchange between King Ning and Li Chen, Li Chen is definitely not such an unwise person.

Therefore, this message must be true.

After a moment's thought, King Ning understood.

This 300,000 strong army is bound to exist, and since Li Chen said it would arrive within twelve hours, it will definitely arrive.

And this army of 300,000 is most likely what Li Chen used some kind of condition to promise them, bringing them into the Qin territory to fight against the Liao army together.

Li Chen, even if he had gone mad, would never use foreign powers to harm his own fellow prince within the country.

This is tantamount to inviting the wolf into one's home; its severity is no less egregious than his own act of treason as a prince.

Because...all are turbulent times of upheaval.

Even killing one's own countrymen from abroad is even more atrocious.

His eyes flickered, shifting between light and shadow as King Ning saw Wu Qingcang approaching.

"My lord, please.", apologize!"Ghaz'aab, scolded and red-faced, glared angrily and said, "Chieftain, it was he who was afraid of death! Why should I apologize"Because you said something you shouldn't have!Kuzhailo glar...
