Chapter 1622: Chen Bo's Outburst

    

Chapter 59: The Feeling of Hugging a Big LegChapter 1622: Chen Bo's Burst

A single piece of advice turned the face of Chen Bai, a cavalryman from Yan Yun Sixteen Rides, red.

Even though he was furious and resentful, he didn't dare to respond.

Not to mention him, even the Prince Ning would be unable to fulfill it.

Seeing Chen Bo stammering and unable to speak, Li Chen, who had already made up his mind to assert his authority, pressed him: "Speak! Have you gone dumb! You were spouting nonsense just a moment ago, now you can't even utter a word"

"You, the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun, with an army of 150,000 behind you, could easily crush my camp in a moment. Why don't you speak!"

Chen Bai was tormented by Li Chen's relentless questioning. He looked at King Ning and Wu Yong, but both of them had somber expressions. Wu Yong even turned his head away, giving him no indication of his feelings. All this made Chen Bai feel the true meaning of despair.

Li Chen took a step forward, walking in front of Chen Bai, and said coldly, "The Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun, will you ultimately obey this palace's command or rebel"

Chen Bo's body trembled, his five fingers clenched into fists, with a cracking sound, representing that he was already suppressed to the extreme.

"Your Highness, I dare not disobey your orders."

He almost spat out each word, one by one.

This sentence up to here was still normal, but the next thing he said made everyone's complexion change.

"Don't push me."

Hearing these four words, Zhou Pingan, who had always been unassuming and kept a low profile, finally revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

The person who understands Li Chen's thoughts best is himself.

The so-called combination of kindness and severity, kindness was given to Yueya Pass, and the severity naturally had to be given to the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun.

To ensure the success of future battles, those unruly thorns in the side of the Eighteen Riders of Yan and Yun must be given a lesson.

All Chen merely needed was an excuse.

A flimsy excuse.

Isn't that excuse just here now

Zhou Ping'an's lips curled up slightly, and this subtle expression was immediately caught by King Ning.

King Ning was the type of person who could understand something instantly, even if you just dropped a single eyelash in front of him.

His heart skipped a beat.

The reason why he hadn't spoken up all this time was because King Ning didn't agree with Li Chen's orders at all and had no intention of following his demands.

The Sixteen Cavalry of Yan Yun were his lifeblood. He couldn't possibly give them to Li Chen to make a name for himself.

But some words, once spoken, are like water spilled, impossible to retrieve. Those who speak first, however, still have room to maneuver.

So he remained silent, gesturing for someone below to speak first.

Little did the Prince Ning know that his own careful thoughts had unwittingly helped Li Chen.

Just as he was about to speak, trying to prevent the situation from worsening, a remark from the leader of the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun made him realize that he had overestimated his men's psychological resilience.

“You may be the prince, but we, the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun, have never been your personal army. You promised us before that you wouldn't make us the main force on the frontlines, yet now you want us to delay hundreds of thousands of Liao troops for four whole hours! That's sending us to our deaths!”

You fear that my prince poses a threat to you, so you've used every means possible to drain the life force of the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun. You even go back on your word! Do you think you're the only smart person in the world Those who look down on others as fools are fools themselves!

Chen Baiyue spoke with increasing excitement, his words flowing more and more smoothly.

He felt like he had released all the pressure he was feeling inside.

At the end, it even seemed to question Li Chen's meaning in reverse.

"You were the one who came up with this plan, now you want the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry to cover for you! Your Highness, if you're incapable of subduing the Liao army, then don't propose such a grand plan and waste away a month at Yanguan!"Chapter 1207: Assassination Attempt
