"From now on, you must all obey the prince's orders."

This statement caused almost an uproar inside the tent.

If anyone but the Prince Ning said this, there would have been an immediate mutiny.

Even Li Songru's expression was one of astonishment.

No one could figure out what had gotten into King Ning, how he could have possibly said such a thing.

King Ning frowned, staring coldly at the officers who couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Li Songru spoke at the right time: "Silence, everyone. You and I are all deeply trusted by the Prince. Similarly, without the Prince, there would be no one here today. The Prince says what he says, and we cannot question him."

This sentence will please the King of Ning.

Regardless of how many officers in the tent may have been muttering under their breath about Li Songru's sycophancy, at least on the surface, everyone had fallen silent.

Then the Prince Ning said, “Soon, this prince will be bestowed with the title of Pingjiang Wang, and half of Gansu and Shaanxi provinces will be placed under his jurisdiction.”

Speaking of which, the King Ning’s eyes lit up, and he sneered: "The Crown Prince is still young after all. He only sees what's in front of him. In order to defeat the Liao State, this unparalleled hero, he has gone mad and disregarded everything. So let me fulfill his wish. This exchange is worthwhile!"

Of those present, Li Songru was the only one with a modicum of political acumen.

He saw the excitement in King Ning's eyes and knew that King Ning had fallen into a frenzy of power-seeking, but this matter was too big, so he still spoke: "Your Highness, what does the Crown Prince want us to do"

"Deal with the Liao army."

The King of Ning waved his hand and said, "Although he has soldiers and horses in his hands, the real elite are not many. The Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun are what he urgently needs as elite troops, so he hopes to borrow military power to deal with the Liao army."

Li Songru's eyes flickered as he said, "The Liao army has a full six hundred thousand soldiers; they are certainly not easy to deal with."

Could Your Majesty possibly have thought of this

King Ning sneered, "I told him already that although the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun take orders from him, they will absolutely not serve as the main force in a direct confrontation. He agreed to this, and if you were more intelligent, you wouldn't be in trouble simply by providing flank support."

Li Songru frowned, realizing that this was not a simple matter. He immediately said: "Your Highness, I think the Crown Prince is not someone who will easily compromise. When he gets the military power, I'm afraid he will scheme."

What's the plan then

The Prince Ning was already a bit impatient, but he still replied: "As long as I am here, you are all safe. The soldiers below recognize not his tiger talisman, but me, your king!"

"The order has been given, whether to execute it or not, and how to execute it, ultimately it's up to you soldiers to decide."

This statement clearly shows King Ning's intention to surrender on the battlefield.

Li Songru still felt it was inappropriate.

There's no other reason, it's just that the prince's methods have left a deep impression on him several times.

Someone who could kill Ye Wang outside the camp of the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders and escape unharmed wouldn't be so easily fooled.

Such a simple truth, could Ning Wang see it, but wouldn't the Prince

Despite seeing Ning Wang's patience waning, Li Songru still held back the words he had almost uttered.

He knew that Ning Wang, deep down, still harbored some fear of him.

After Zhou Zhangshou's betrayal, King Ning almost stopped trusting any of his subordinates. Even trusted aides from many years ago kept a distance between them.

This is not the time for me to speak up.

With a sigh, Li Songru silently retreated, saying nothing more.Chapter 1018: Su Jinpa's Assassination Attempt
