Chapter 1513: The One-Word Shouldered King

Chapter 77: The First Imperial EdictChapter 1513: The King with a Single Character on His Shoulder

Looking at Li Chen's honest and sincere appearance, the King of Ning smiled.

He said, "My Yan Yun sixteen riders, willing or unwilling, have already come."

Li Chen shook his head and said, "Uncle Wang, you and I both know that the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun have only been here to make up the numbers all this time. They haven't made any real effort. This palace wants the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun to fight for the country."

Your Highness need not put a big hat on me.

The King of Ning waved his hand and said faintly, "The Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun belong to the imperial court. Your Highness has the ability, just give the order. What does this king count for"

That's a no.

Li Chen let out a light sigh and said, "Uncle Wang is unwilling."

King Ning laughed in disdain, "Why would I do something that benefits me not even a little Not only does it offer no benefit, but it's all bad. If I were to exhaust the Sixteen Cavalry of Yan Yun, I would lose my teeth and claws. How could I survive in this world"

Li Chen nodded and said, "Uncle Wang is right."

"Wang Shu, being able to say these things to this palace shows that they are all heartfelt words. This palace is deeply grateful."

Prince Ning stretched languidly and said, "Forget it, Your Highness's late-night visit must have a purpose. Just say what it is directly. If it concerns the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun, then my previous answer is my attitude."

"The Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun belong to the imperial court. Your Highness can use them directly by issuing an order. This king will not obstruct in any way."

"Would Your Majesty care for me to issue the order myself This is beyond my capability."

Li Chen replied, "Uncle Wang, this palace wants to borrow troops, and there will be compensation."

"Interesting," the King of Ning laughed heartily. "This King is quite intrigued. What reward, Your Highness, could you offer that would convince this King"

"Half of Gansu and Shaanxi!"

Li Chen said in a deep voice, "After this battle, this palace will order that half of Gansu and Shaanxi be given to Uncle Wang to expand his territory, solidifying Uncle Wang's title as the King of the Northwest."

King Ning narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Li Chen. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice, "You are indeed your father emperor's son. You have his courage."

"Aren't you afraid of raising a tiger only to be threatened by it" Ning Wang said.

"Uncle Wang is a member of the imperial family. Since the founding emperor, our dynasty has relied on vassal kings like him to assist the court in defending the realm and building the great Qin Empire's enduring foundations. Where does this talk of 'raising tigers to cause trouble' come from" Li Chen spread his hands.

"Hmph!"

King Ning let out a cold snort. “You certainly know how to talk sweetly, but do you even believe your own words”

Li Chen said calmly, "There's no need to wait until the war is over. This palace can write an imperial edict now. After sending it back to the capital and sealing it with the jade seal, it will be announced to the world."

King Ning's brows furrowed even tighter.

He said in a deep voice, "You still don't understand, this king..."

"King Sealing Uncle for a single word level with King!"

Li Chen's gaze burned like a torch, and he said, "This is the limit of this palace."

King Ning felt his breathing and heartbeat quicken.

These two temptations, individually he could resist, but together they are too much of a temptation.

A gleam flashed in his eyes. Ning Wang said, "You're so bold Aren't you afraid that this title of mine will be stripped away, and half of Gansu and Shaanxi will become a thorn in your side that you can't get rid of"

Li Chen smiled and said, "As a prince, you are the emperor's brother. We share the responsibility of guarding the mountains and rivers together, using our strength to secure the Great Qin empire. What is there to be afraid of"

Upon hearing this again, King Ning's face no longer bore the previous playfulness and disdain, but was instead filled with seriousness.

After much deliberation, King Ning spoke, "This king shall return to the military camp."

Li Chen, upon hearing this, immediately shouted to the outside: "Bring someone, send Prince Ning back to the military camp!"on to the throne, would be far from good news for the White Lotus sect."Your Highness, it is time for lunch."Wan Jiaojiao's voice simultaneously awakened Li Chen and Gong Huiyu.Li Chen stood up from a...
