rats. Their focus on factionalism within the government, forming cliques and engaging in backstabbing might be excellent skills they possess, but with Confucian thought as their guiding principle, how...Chapter 1731: King Ning's Immense Power

Li Chen chuckled lightly.

Although Wu BanShan's strategies are not yet as good as his older brother Wu Qing Cang's, he has been able to serve as the garrison commander at Yueya Pass for so many years and remain as steady as Mount Tai without any flaws. He absolutely cannot be an incompetent person.

"In that case, you should discuss countermeasures with Wu Qingcang."

Li Chen rose and said, "I have already wasted some time. This palace will not linger here any longer."

Li Chen walked out while talking, and behind him, Wu Ban Shan respectfully bowed: "This subordinate, bids farewell to Your Highness."

Back at the courtyard, when Li Chen arrived, he saw King Ning actually drinking with Fucha Huanzhen.

Under their feet, there were already five or six empty wine bottles.

Even in the open courtyard, Li Chen could still smell a strong scent of alcohol. Not to mention that the wine they were drinking now, although not some kind of nectar, was high proofed as it was brewed in the northwest to withstand the harsh winter. After just a while, five or six altars had been consumed, which was almost a massive amount.

As for Huangji Tian… he’s already sprawled on the table, unconscious.

This made Li Chen feel amused and ridiculous.

He had hinted that the Huangji Tian gang had helped him hold back Prince Ning, but he didn't expect that when he finished his business and returned, Huangji Tian himself had fallen. Now, only Prince Ning and Fucha Huanzhen were left, drinking one cup after another. What was going on

When Li Chen came over, both King Ning and Fucha Huanzhen put down their wine glasses at the same time.

"Have you been waiting long"

Li Chen smiled and walked over quickly, pointing at Huangji Tian and saying: "Thirteen A Ge has lost this round"

As if hearing his own name, Huangjitian's body twitched. It was clear he was trying with all his might to raise his head, but this struggle lasted only a moment before it completely ceased.

Getting closer, I could almost hear him mumbling: "I'm not drunk, I can still drink.

"

Fucha Huanzhen smiled slightly and said, "My lord Ning is generous. I am only barely able to keep up. I have to thank my lord Ning for his mercy."

King Ning looked indifferent, he rose to his feet and released a wave of alcohol, looking at Li Chen and said calmly: "The Crown Prince is back, so this King would also like to use the restroom. Would that be alright"

"Where did you hear that"

Li Chen laughed and said, "Uncle Wang wants to go to the convenience, of course he can go anytime. However, the prince is not familiar with the layout of the county government, so my nephew will call someone to guide Uncle Wang."

"Little Stream!"

Li Chen gave a call, and Xiaozi immediately appeared at the gate of the courtyard, bowing his head respectfully.

Since several of them were drinking, naturally someone had to be responsible for serving the drinks and food. Xiaogzi was that waiter.

"Go, lead the way for the prince. The prince has had quite a bit to drink, so you must take good care of him. If you neglect your duty, be careful, you might lose your head."

Xiaoguanzi, upon hearing this, hastily replied: "This servant obeys your command. This servant will certainly take good care of the prince."

With that, Xiaozi bowed to Prince Ning and said with a low voice, "Please follow me, Your Highness."

Prince Ning glanced coldly at Li Chen and said, "Thank you for your concern, Crown Prince."

Having said his piece, the King of Ning swept away in a swirl of his robes.

Looking at King Ning's furious back, Li Chen sat down, picked up his wine cup and took a sip with relish, then kicked the emperor, "Get up."

"The Thirteenth Brother really had too much to drink."

Fucha Huanzhen said to Li Chen, "The Thirteenth Brother's alcohol tolerance is just average. It's not easy for him to hold on this long. As for Prince Ning, his alcohol tolerance is truly like an bottomless pit, which is frightening."e scheme, I've woken up."Zhao Xuanji hung his hands down and remained silent."Enough."The Great Emperor said calmly.Zhao Xuanji bowed and said, "Your subject will obey your order."Li Chen raised an ey...
