"Come, hear this: the deceased emperor had many sons, but in terms of martial prowess and strategic brilliance, there is no contest—Prince Ning stands above all. I have never witnessed such skill before, but today, as I see him, his reputation proves well-earned."

The first sentence brought Zhou Changshou a great deal of relief.

As long as Zhou Ping'an says a few kind words and mediates the situation, given that King Ning is not a cruel person by nature, this matter may not necessarily be hopeless.

Then Zhou Ping'an's next words made Zhou Changshou so angry that he wished he could shut Zhou Ping'an's mouth.

Only Zhou Ping'an's voice continued, "The Ning Wang is brave, and his soldiers are elite. But he only dares to point his weapons at his own countrymen. When the Liao state invades, he cowers like a frightened rabbit. Is this not a disgrace to the world"

Zhou Ping'an finished speaking, not caring at all whether his words would anger King Ning, and even grinned at him.

These words, let alone King Ning, even the soldiers behind him were all furious, wishing they could tear Zhou Ping'an's mouth apart.

Zhou Changshou despairingly closed his eyes, only feeling a weariness in his heart. Destruction, let everything be destroyed, I'm tired.

As for King Ning, he didn't fly into a rage. Instead, his expression became even calmer.

While everyone could understand his frustration, at this very moment, Prince Ning was furious beyond measure.

Just as Zhou Changshou was about to speak, King Ning glanced at him.

Just that look was enough to make Zhou Changshou swallow his words back down.

"Come here."

King Ning gave a faint order: "Drag this man who spouts nonsense away and have him executed."

As soon as the King Ning spoke, two burly soldiers walked in from the entrance.

They came up and were about to pin Zhou Ping'an down, dragging him out.

Zhou Pingan still stood in place, without struggle or rebuttal, only suddenly burst into laughter.

Everyone says that King Ning is generous and righteous, but I don't think so.

"Your Highness the Prince, please hasten and behead me. Then perhaps the capital will send another person here sooner."

"Of course, perhaps next time it won't be a single person, but the imperial army."

Upon hearing this, King Ning raised his hand to signal the two soldiers to stop.

"Was it the prince who sent you, or Zhao Xuanji" Ning Wang asked coldly.

"As an official appointed by the imperial court, I naturally came here following the emperor's orders." Zhou Ping'an replied.

King Ning let out a cold laugh and said, "So it's the Crown Prince Was it the Crown Prince who sent you all alone, to travel thousands of miles to Da Yuan Mansion to threaten this king"

"This is not a threat."

Zhou Ping'an shook his head seriously and said, "I am just stating the facts."

“Tonight, I shall have you beheaded and your body dismembered, sent to the East Palace. Do you think that your prince dares do anything He will even issue an edict to appease me, fearing that I might harbor resentment towards the court. There is no way he will avenge you. Believe it or not” The King of Ning laughed heartily, radiating an aura of invincibility that filled the surrounding soldiers with awe and admiration.

It is this fearless and unrestrained personal charm that allows King Ning to always have a loyal group of soldiers by his side, making his Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry renowned throughout the land.

But, there was one exception.

That's Zhou Ping'an.

In his view, a true emperor should stand high above the clouds, aloof and overlooking all beings, using political maneuvering to maintain balance in the world.

rather than taking personal action, being as crude and unrefined as a barbarian.

He has the guts, but his vision is too narrow.

Then, with a cupped hand gesture, he calmly replied in four words: "This official does not believe."
