Upon seeing Li Chen arrive, Wu Yong, disheveled and bruised, struggled even harder. He made distressed whimpering sounds in his throat, as if desperately trying to say something.
"Let him go," Li Chen waved his hand.
Wu Ban immediately stepped forward, crouched down, and before taking the rag out of Wu Yong's mouth, he warned: "Don't shout or scream, otherwise this general will chop you up right here!"
After finishing his words, Wu Ban Shan removed the rag from his mouth.
"Crown Prince, you..."
Before Wu Yong could finish his words, a blade was pressed against his neck. Wu BanShan growled, "To call the prince directly without any honorifics Are you looking for death!"
Wu Yong's face turned green.
"Never mind."
Li Chen sat down on the grandmaster's chair beside him and said, “There's no need to worry about etiquette at this time.”
Having said that, Li Chen looked at Wu Yong and said: "Wu Yong, your origins, this palace knows everything about them. As for what happened between you and Zhou Zhangshou, it was all orchestrated by this palace."
Wu Yong's face betrayed a look of "I told you so," but whether it was because he had nothing to say or because he was intimidated by the long knife at his throat, he remained silent.
Li Chen said faintly, “This palace has no time to waste, and you have no time to stay here and increase suspicion. So this palace will get straight to the point and ask directly, what did King Ning tell you”
Wu Yong gritted his teeth, his expression extremely conflicted and struggling.
Li Chen said calmly, "Birds of a feather flock together. You should have seen what happened to those who followed King Ning. Zhou Changshou met that end, as did Ye Wang. And there's Li Songru, too. Do you need this palace to personally tell you what happened to Li Songru before you believe it"
Wu Yong's face was indeed animated.
Li Chen mentioned three people's names. Besides Zhou Changshou, the other two are all dead.
And they all died because of King Ning's suspicion.
"In terms of martial prowess, you are inferior to Ye Wang. In terms of strategy, you are no match for Li Songru. However, the favor and trust you currently enjoy are equal to theirs. Think about it, if virtue does not match one's position, what will be your end"
Li Chen looked at Wu Yong's face and said calmly, "This palace won't advise you much. Talking too much would make this palace seem to have ulterior motives. The guarantee I can give you is that as long as you tell this palace everything you know, this palace will promise you a life of wealth and honor."
"You needn't doubt the sincerity of this promise. Every vow I have made has been kept, and I would never stoop to deception for a cheap laugh."
Wu Yong's lips trembled as he looked up at Li Chen and said, "Can you really protect me, Your Highness"
With a slight smile, Li Chen said: "This prince is still the Crown Prince of the Qin Empire. So in the Qin Empire, there's nothing this prince can't accomplish."
Although his tone was calm and devoid of any harsh words or soaring rhetoric, it was precisely this calmness that revealed Li Chen's confidence and depth, as vast and unfathomable as the ocean.
Therefore, it is even more convincing.
Gritting his teeth, Wu Yong said: "Then I want to change the terms."
Wubanshan snorted coldly and rebuked, "Your Highness has granted you wealth and glory, which is already an act of great kindness. How dare you bargain for it!"
Wu Yong said eagerly, "As long as Your Highness agrees, then this subordinate will not only know everything and say everything, but also be willing to do my utmost to cooperate with Your Highness in everything."
One is a reluctant submission, the other is a steadfast follow-up out of interest exchange.
Between the two, Li Chen would naturally choose the latter. the innkeeper, hoping to make a profit from the business, treated him to several days of free lodging.After all, in case Fu Minqing is really a high school student, this investment would be worthwhil...
