Chapter 1519: It Was He Who Wouldn't

Chapter 1556: NegotiationChapter 1519: He Didn't Allow It

This has nothing to do with ability.

Just like at the societal level, decision-makers can certainly learn about the thoughts and feelings of ordinary people through various channels. However, this information is inevitably subject to delays and distortions.

What happens in a county town takes a long time to reach the ears of policymakers in the state capital, let alone anywhere else.

But this county town knew something, the local people were in the know. Things that happened in the morning would be the talk of the town by noon.

Can this be said that the bigwigs in the state capital are less capable than the common people in the county

Cannot.

It can only be said that the circles are different, and the acceptance and processing of information are different.

Xiao Waizi's words always have reason behind them.

According to my humble servant, Your Majesty has always been in good health, rarely even catching a cold. It is therefore inconceivable that something ominous should suddenly befall You.

Of course, one could also say that the Empress concealed it beforehand. But since she encountered misfortune, there would always be some symptoms, and it should be a matter of calling for the imperial physician to take a look. These two steps, once she fell ill and had symptoms, they couldn't be hidden. Once the imperial physician was called, there would inevitably be records, which also couldn't be concealed.

"There was no sign of anything amiss, yet suddenly news spread that the Empress had met with an unfortunate fate. I dare to say, this matter must be unusual."

Li Chen frowned and remained silent.

Xiao Wa Zi's words opened up a new line of thinking for him.

Could it be that someone at this juncture is unwilling to let him remain safely on the front lines

Many guesses flashed through Li Chen's mind, but the available information was too scarce. Li Chen wasn't a god; he couldn't make judgments out of thin air.

Li Chen was deep in thought, and the other three dared not even breathe, fearing they would interrupt Li Chen's train of thought.

And at the same time, King Ning had returned to the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry's camp.

"My Lord!"

Li Songru, accompanied by a group of high-ranking generals from the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders, came to welcome King Ning.

King Ning waved his hand, signaling everyone to be at ease.

After Prince Ning sat down, before he or Li Songru could speak, a hot-tempered general couldn't help but blurt out: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is a despicable scoundrel who doesn't put you in his eyes. My brothers must teach him a lesson!"

King Ning raised his eyelids and glanced at the speaker, the commander of Tie Futu's ten thousand men, a staunch follower of Ye Wang.

"Does only General Wu think this way Do others share the same thought" Ning Wang asked calmly.

A room full of generals looked at each other, and someone said: "The prince really doesn't take the king seriously."

Once someone spoke, others chimed in.

"That's right, General Ye hadn't even cooled in his grave yet, he died so tragically!"

"When have I, the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun, ever suffered such a loss!"

"That's right, once this gets out, the reputation of me and the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders, along with the Prince, will be the laughingstock of the entire world!"

Listening to the endless complaints, King Ning growled, "Be quiet!"

Instantly, the entire room of generals fell silent.

Ning Wang's prestige among the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun was evident to all.

King Ning said icily, "To teach the Crown Prince a lesson You have such audacity. This kind of thing I wouldn't dare say, yet you dare to utter it so boldly."

If you truly possessed such abilities, why didn't you intervene when he killed Ye Wang at the army camp gate that day

The first centurion to speak said with anger, "Your Highness, it wasn't that we stood idly by. General Li pressed us so hard he wouldn't let us fight!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals of Ye Wangtie's Iron Floating Turret faction turned their eyes to Li Songru, their gazes filled with hatred.ace will pay it personally."As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, the streets outside the City Lord's Mansion suddenly became a cacophony of noise.The Liao army parted a path, their expressions ferven...
