long ago.And since he didn't report it, it means he doesn't know. Since he doesn't know, he definitely won't make random guesses. Even if there are a few suspicious candidates in his mind, he wouldn't...Chapter 1392: Finally Meeting

Li Chen turned his head and saw a young man who was a little older than Zhou Ping'an, with an unremarkable appearance, standing at a distance.

"You are Zhou Changshou, the first strategist under King Ning" Li Chen asked.

Zhou Changshou bowed with both hands and said, "My name is Zhou Changshou, I have met Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"You should show great respect." Li Chen said calmly.

Zhou Changshou chuckled lightly, immediately knelt down and performed a grand bow, once again saying: "Commoner Zhou Changshou, pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Prince."

After the ceremony, Zhou Changshou looked at Li Chen with eager anticipation and asked, "Your Highness, when will you have him executed"

Looking at that, I'm actually a bit excited.

Li Chen laughed in anger and said, “Are you two brothers putting on a play for me Do you want me to kill him”

"I hope, I really hope."

Zhou Changshou knelt on the ground, pointing at Zhou Ping'an and saying seriously: “Though this man is my own brother, he has used his identity to deceive me. He led me astray, causing me to be resented by King Ning. Now, King Ning hates me more than him. Because of him, I have lost years of hard work, and most importantly, my ideals and aspirations have been extinguished. Therefore, Your Highness, if you were to execute him, I would wholeheartedly approve.”

"What are your ambitions Is it to help Prince Ning rebel" Li Chen asked indifferently.

At this point, Li Chen had developed murderous intent towards Zhou Changshou.

From Zhou Changshou's words, one can tell that he is a close friend of King Ning. Such a person absolutely cannot be kept.

Zhou Changshou, however, seemed completely unaware of Li Chen's murderous intent. He even said seriously: "It's not entirely so. My ideal is to find a wise ruler for the world. King Ning is just a vessel for me to achieve this ideal."

"Bright master!"

Li Chen let out a sneer and said, "You mean to say that the King of Ning is an enlightened ruler while I am a tyrant You dare speak such blasphemous words so directly in my presence"

Zhou Changshou replied, "My ideals and aspirations have been extinguished, my heart has died, and naturally I have nothing to fear."

"Sounds good."

Li Chen's face was cold as he turned to Zhou Ping'an and said, "Zhou Ping'an, what do you say"

Zhou Ping'an replied, "Your Highness, my second brother cannot be killed."

Li Chen remained silent.

Zhou Ping'an said again, "My second brother is several times stronger than me in governing and administering. I am ambitious, while he is conservative. Therefore, he is the best candidate for managing internal affairs that I can find for Your Highness."

"If you kill my second brother, it will be like cutting off your own arm; it's truly unwise."

Li Chen sneered: "Didn't you hear him say his master is King Ning, that this palace is unworthy"

Zhou Ping'an smiled and said, "My younger brother is not well in the head. Your Highness need not stoop to his level."

Zhou Changshou frowned upon hearing this.

Why does this person just start swearing

Li Chen said in a deep voice: "This palace has no time to play riddles with you two brothers. You know the current situation better than anyone. Don't even talk about your nine deaths, even this palace itself is in danger at any moment. And this, all because of your momentary impulse!"

Zhou Ping'an answered softly, "Your Highness, what I have done was not a rash decision, but a result of careful consideration."

Li Chen said nothing, just looked at Zhou Ping'an, waiting for his explanation.

Zhou Ping'an said: "If you compare the prince to the head of a household, then King Ning is like a malicious relative who lives next door. This relative not only doesn't want the prince to live a good life, but even thinks about driving him out of the house every day so that he can take his place."ance formed as everyone helped each other's sons and nephews.Thus, the talent selection in Liao kingdom became a joke.Even if an ordinary person is capable, without the right background, they will not...
