ant thanks Your Highness.""The empress is leaving."Li Chen left the dormitory and came to outside the East Palace. The Three Treasures had already personally set up a carriage waiting there.Seeing Li...Chapter 1825 After the Death of King Ning

"In order to completely control all the power within his fiefdom, Prince Ning had been painstakingly working for many years. He found a unique way to secretly support and control a large number of martial arts sects. On the surface, these martial arts sects and the local government operated independently, maintaining the status quo. However, in secret, Prince Ning handed over evidence of many officials' crimes to these sects. This resulted in a situation where the government had the power to kill or pardon members of the martial arts sects on the surface, but on the other hand, these sects possessed evidence that could immediately ruin these officials' reputations."

"If this were done under normal circumstances, it might not be a big deal, and even doing so might seem like overcomplicating things. However, if Prince Ning met with an unexpected incident and didn't even have time to arrange his affairs, then this plan could directly cause the entire fiefdom to crumble into chaos!"

The more Cheng Fuzhao spoke, the more shocked and awestruck he became. The more he talked, the more he admired King Ning's viciousness, ruthlessness, and profound intellect.

He licked his dry lips and said, "Whoever makes the move, their goal is to take Ning Wang's territory. But Ning Wang's plan is that even if he encounters an accident and the territory crumbles instantly, it can't be given to the perpetrator for nothing."

Li Chen's face was expressionless, his mood at its worst.

But after a short time of adjustment, he was no longer as irritable as before.

"You know all of this, why didn't you say it sooner" Li Chen asked.

Cheng Fuzhao immediately exclaimed, "Your Highness, I truly don't know. I only received news after the incident occurred."

With narrowed eyes, Li Chen said, "The person who gave you this information is Li Songru"

Cheng Fuzhao kowtowed in fear and said, "Your servant doesn't know, only that the confidential letter was signed by someone who is already dead."

“Good, very good.”

Li Chen sneered.

He had long known that the King of Ning could not be casually killed. To deal with such a person, one must eradicate him and his entire faction in one fell swoop, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

But facing a decisive battle with Yelu Shenxuan, Li Chen thought long and hard before ultimately deciding to take a gamble.

On one hand, he was confident in his ability to control Ning Wang's most threatening force, the Sixteen Cavalry of Yan Yun. On the other hand, it was better for Ning Wang to die outside than inside his own territory. And once he began a decisive battle with Yelu Shenxuan, all signs pointed to Ning Wang being more likely to turn to the Liao army rather than himself.

Instead of letting this time bomb remain by our side, it's better to proactively detonate it.

Since coming to power, Li Chen has never been a indecisive person. After weighing the pros and cons, anyone who posed a potential threat to himself would be eliminated.

But this time, Li Chenqian miscalculated and underestimated King Ning's methods after all.

He didn't think that the Prince of Ning posed much of a threat to him while he was alive, but after his death, he caused him a great deal of trouble.

"How much supplies had flowed into the hands of the Liao army from Gansu and Shaanxi" Li Chen asked the most crucial question at hand.ebels!Li Chen's eyes were cold and gloomy as he said, "The Jinyiwei are short-handed, so go with this palace decree to summon the Yulinwei.
