Chapter 28: I Will Devote Everything to the Crown Prince"No need for gifts."Li Chen said faintly, "Since you took the initiative to meet me, then the things are already prepared"Chapter 1550: Trial

Li Songru's expression was grave, and he said seriously: "General Li and the prince are of different ranks, and etiquette must not be violated. Therefore, although General Li is grateful for the prince's kindness, he cannot rely on it to become arrogant and forget his own status."

The King of Ning laughed lightly and said, “After all these years, you’re still the same, rigid and inflexible.”

Li Songru listened intently to every word Ning Wang said, not missing a single detail.

He knew very well that Prince Ning wouldn't be finding him for a chat in the dead of night simply because he couldn't sleep. Every word, every syllable uttered by Prince Ning carried a profound meaning.

Li Songru couldn't quite figure out King Ning's intentions at the moment, but precisely because of this, he dared not take it lightly.

Seeing Li Songru remained unresponsive, King Ning smoothly shifted the topic, saying, "The current situation is turbulent, with undercurrents surging and about to unleash a storm. Our forces, caught in this vortex, don't have absolute certainty of remaining unscathed."

However, in my opinion, there are ways to handle external situations. No matter how the external situation changes, we must first clarify things internally. Otherwise, if our internal problems remain unresolved and we face mounting external pressure, it will be even more difficult to protect ourselves.

"Song Ru, do you agree"

Li Songru nodded solemnly and said, "Your Highness has given this much thought. The last general is in awe."

Smiling and waving his hand, King Ning said: "You have followed this king for many years, you should know that this king does not like to hear words that are devoid of nourishment and meaning. Right now, what this king wants to know is, in your eyes, Song Ru, can the newly promoted Wu Yong be capable of commanding Tiefutou"

This is what the question asks.

Li Songru was a little puzzled.

If this had been asked of him before his appointment, one could certainly say there was some consultation with him.

Now that all appointments have been made, isn't it a bit overkill to have summoned me here in the middle of the night

These thoughts raced through his mind, and Li Songru spoke, "Your Highness, Wu Yong is undoubtedly loyal and brave in battle. However, he lacks depth of thought and can be easily manipulated. While he would be suitable for the position of a thousand-man leader, I worry about him holding the rank of Iron Buddha commander."

Li Songru knew very well that speaking ill of others in front of King Ning was not a good idea. However, from the perspective of the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun, to deal with the complex and treacherous situation at hand, Li Songru believed it was necessary for the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun to form a united front. But Wu Yong's presence obviously did not meet Li Songru's needs, so he had to say this despite his hesitation.

Ning Wang, upon hearing this, remained composed and asked, “Then in Master Song's opinion, who would be suitable”

Li Songru's heart sank. He knew he absolutely couldn't answer this question.

He knew too well the King Ning's suspicious and distrustful nature.

Thus, Li Songru replied without hesitation: "Your Highness, this is truly a difficult question for me. I have no idea about this."

"The King of Ning smiled ambiguously and said, 'Are you unwilling to know, or are you afraid to know' "

Li Songru looked up at King Ning and said seriously, "Both."

"Everyone has their own duties and positions. I am not Tie Futou, so I haven't considered or shouldn't consider what kind of commands Tie Futou uses."

Ning Wang smiled without saying a word, slowly rubbing his teacup, but remained silent.the curtains to look outside, smile. He lowered the curtains and turned back to Su Jinpa, saying: "You talk too much. This is what it means to be a gentleman and not stand under dangerous walls. My sa...
