"You said."

Li Chen did not agree directly. He was calm and collected, leaving Wu Yong unable to see through his thoughts.

However, Li Chen really overthought it.

Wu Yong didn't even consider bargaining, nor did he care about Li Chen's inner thoughts. He simply stated, "My requirement is that you ensure my life and allow me to retire from the military and live as a hermit in the mountains after the event."

Not only was Li Chen surprised, but Wu Ban Shan was also astonished.

"If you want to live in seclusion, just find a deserted place and go into hiding," Wu Ban Shan said unconvinced.

Wu Yong sneered coldly: "You don't know how vast the foundation of King Ning's faction is. If I were that traitor, even if King Ning fell and the empire crumbled, there would still be remnants left. They wouldn't be able to deal with the Prince, so they would inevitably want to kill me first. I don't want to spend the rest of my life living in constant fear of being hunted down."

"So I need a completely new identity, not a fake one. This includes my place of origin, clan lineage, and official name—all of them must be real and verifiable. No one else in the world could possibly pull this off except Your Highness."

When these words came out, Wu BanShan was taken aback. He hadn't really thought that deeply about it.

Faking an identity is also about the level of class.

The lowest tier, just make up a random name, think of a place name, and that's it. But anyone who puts in a little effort to check will find nothing.

To achieve a slightly higher status, you would need to spend some money and bribe local officials to include your name in the registry. However, if someone were to investigate or check the family records, your true identity would be immediately revealed.

But what's truly unfathomable is creating something out of nothing.

But this is extremely difficult.

First, you need to find a suitable person who went missing from a young age. Ideally, this person should also be orphaned, but well-known in the village. Then, you would assume their identity and modify the family tree as well as official records to provide them with household registration and a name change under official auspices. This way, no matter what channel is used for investigation, it will appear as a genuine record.

Such methods are simply beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

Even if it were possible, the cost would be enormous. It would require establishing too many connections, and it wouldn't be worth the effort.

The one who needs it, lacks the ability. The one who is able doesn't need it.

So in Wu Yong's view, only Li Chen could resolve the matter with a single word.

Li Chen didn't hesitate. For him, this was indeed just a matter of words. Most importantly, he couldn't find any reason for Wu Yong to deceive him.

"Agreed."

Hearing Li Chen's agreement, Wu Yong finally let out a deep breath of relief.

Just as he lay on the ground and saw Li Chen coming over, in that short time he had made a decision and ended his previous intense struggle.

No matter if the King of Ning was rebelling or not, he didn't want to continue with it.

Wu Yong understood very well, what Li Chen said was right. He wasn't as skilled in martial arts as Ye Wang, nor was he as knowledgeable as Li Songru. But he believed that he had one advantage over these two men: he knew how to adapt to the situation.

He planned to completely extricate himself from this mess and never again stick his neck out.

As a mere lieutenant, he had no right to get involved in the power struggle between the Crown Prince and the Duke.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Yong said: "The King asked me to convey the news that 300,000 Jin troops were ambushed at Wulong Mountain to Yelü Shenxuan."f the Taihe Hall, Yelü Guzanqi watched Yelü Shenxuan's eyes, which were so excited they were red.The Crown Prince, have you seen this This is the Crown Prince of Qin.
