hadow of tonight for the rest of his life."Damn idiot!"The third sound, following closely behind.Yuan Shi Dao suddenly turned around, only to see Su Ping Bei berating him from afar."Found you!"Yuan Sh...Chapter 1693: Passing the Test

When the thought reached his throat, about to burst forth, King Ning gritted his teeth and held it back once more.

Clenching his fist, still bleeding from the last blow, Ning Wang knew... he had to keep enduring.

To rebel immediately would certainly be exhilarating for a moment, but now he is not ready for anything.

War is about resources and backing.

Over the years, he has undoubtedly accumulated a wealth of resources and his financial power far exceeds what outsiders imagine. However, this is not enough to enable him to single-handedly conquer the entire empire.

Most importantly, there was still Wen Wang in the South, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He didn't believe that cunning old fox would sit at home and watch him conquer the world. Although the old fox had deep grievances with the court, Ning Wang understood better than anyone that once he truly rebelled, the first person to raise the banner and lead troops to aid the emperor and depose the tyrant would be him.

By then, King Wen would have had the moral high ground. Even if he spoke until his lips were raw, no one would believe him without evidence that the succession had been a conspiracy.

Even if everyone deep down believed it, what good would it do

So many years have passed, and everyone's interests are deeply rooted in this court, in the Great Qin Empire ruled by Emperor Da-Xing. If he were to rebel, he would be disrupting their collective interests, inevitably facing unprecedented resistance.

Then, everything I did would become the wedding garment for Duke Wen.

Pain and a savage light flickered in his eyes. Finally, the King of Ning closed his eyes and said, "All of you, leave."

A few guards glanced at each other. Anyone could tell that Prince Ning must have something on his mind, but no matter what it was, Prince Ning wouldn't say anything. Besides, it wasn't up to them, the guards, to ask. So they all bowed and left the tent.

King Ning looked at the mess inside the tent, a bone-deep pain gripping him as he suddenly felt a tinge of regret.

Zhou Changshou had been betrayed, and the only truly reliable strategist by his side was now Li Songru. But Li Songru... had also been personally ordered to be eliminated.

To the point that now, he is almost a true hermit. Even if he wanted to discuss something with someone, there was no one to find.

Other people were plentiful, but how could the King of Ning share such a secret with others

Even if Zhou Changshou or Li Songru were still around, after the fact, King Ning would probably have silenced them.

This is something that a naturally suspicious and ambitious tyrant is bound to endure.

Just when Prince Ning was in a state of disarray, there was a sudden commotion outside, with hurried footsteps approaching.

"Your Highness, the Liao army has suddenly launched a large-scale attack. Fighting is already underway at the front lines."

Upon hearing this news, a glint flashed in King Ning's eyes.

As soon as Yuan Shidao left, the Liao army made a move. This must have been a move made in advance by Yelü Shenxuan.

He was sure that after reading the confidential letter, he would inevitably choose to cooperate with him.

King Ning said without hesitation, "Saddle my horse, I must see the Crown Prince immediately."

The battle raged anew, this time with a ferocity far exceeding previous engagements. The Liao army surged forward against the Qin lines like a frenzied beast.

But the sudden battle, after a brief moment of panic, quickly stabilized the Qin army. Especially Wu Ban Shan's presence at the scene to command, brought the situation under control rapidly.

When the armies of Liao and Qin were locked in a fierce battle, at the back of the Liao army, stood Moonlit Pass.

Outside the pass, Su Pingbei licked his dry lips and glanced at the Liao Army clothes he was wearing. He turned to Zhao Tailai beside him and said, "The checkpoint is right ahead. Are you sure there's no problem"rtain down""OK."Li Chen agreed readily, and he immediately lowered the curtain.But what really broke Zhao Tailai and his men's spirits was that Li Chen also followed behind the curtain.This way, it wo...
