Chapter 153: Zhao He ShanChapter 1623: Killing Chen Bo
Chen Bai's words, like a machine gun, vented his inner resentment and suppression to the fullest.
After that, his complexion turned rosy. Although he was still flushed, it was a different kind of flush compared to the previous one of being stifled and red with embarrassment.
Chen Bai, feeling as if he had spoken the minds of everyone present, was full of energy. He stared straight into Li Chen's emotionless eyes.
Now he's gone all out, he doesn't believe Li Chen would dare to do anything to him.
No matter what, he was a high-ranking general of the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders.
Even though Li Chen had previously defeated Ye Wang, who was of a much higher status than him, that was when the King Ning wasn't around.
In front of the King Ning, he still dares to attack himself
He was well aware of how tense the situation was and the immense pressure he was under.
He was certain Li Chen would never risk completely turning against the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun just to get rid of him.
Thinking of this, Chen Bai involuntarily looked at King Ning, his own pillar of support.
What he saw were eyes colder than Li Chen's.
His heart skipped a beat, and Chen Bo inwardly cried out, "Oh no."
At this, Li Chen laughed furiously, "Good, very good! Today, the Imperial Palace has finally heard the true words of the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun."
Chen Bai caught a glimpse of the murderous intent in Li Chen's eyes, and his heart pounded wildly. Only then did he realize that he was facing not an ordinary person, but the unorthodox heir apparent to the Great Qin Empire.
If one were an outsider, they might perhaps be concerned about this and that, and hesitant to act.
But as the Crown Prince, his attitude in those words just now is already a capital offense.
At this moment, Chen Bai, terrified, frantically begged the King Ning for help.
The King of Ning was so enraged that he wished he could personally strike Chen Bai down, but he couldn't at the moment.
Not only must Chen Bai be spared, but his life must also be protected.
Even if Chen Bai is foolish and makes huge mistakes, he is still a general of the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders.
If he were here, to just watch Chen Bai be punished for his words, what prestige would he, the King of Ning, have left Which one of his subordinates would dare to give their lives for him then
"Your Highness."
King Ning stood up and, rarely, bowed in greeting. He said, “Chen Bai has followed me for many years, and I know his character. He is impulsive and straightforward, with a simple mind, often offending people with his words. But his loyalty to the court and your Highness is beyond doubt. Your Highness is magnanimous and should not hold a grudge against someone like Chen Bai, who lacks intelligence. Please do not take his words to heart.”
Li Chen looked at King Ning and said, “Uncle Wang means that Chen Bai is someone who can't keep his mouth shut, has a simple mind, and whether his limbs are developed or not is hard to say. In short, as the Crown Prince, I really shouldn't argue with such a reckless brute.”
King Ning gritted his teeth and said, "In short, Chen Bai is not worth the prince's anger."
"That's right."
Li Chen nodded, then... without warning, drew his sword and charged!
A sword pierced Chen Bai's heart directly.
The sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise.
Even Wu Qingcang and Wu Ban Shan, who were on Li Chen's side, twitched their eyelids. The sword shadow that flashed in an instant startled these two generals who were accustomed to killing and death.
Chen Bai couldn't believe his eyes as he looked down at the long sword piercing directly into his heart. He could feel his heart shattering in an instant, a pervasive pain in his chest making his vision swim with darkness.
His mouth opened, wanting to speak, but a torrent of blood gushed forth, choking back every word he had to say.e tell you this beforehand, serve this palace well and it won't just be you who prospers, your entire clan will enjoy the benefits as well.“This king knows you have a younger brother still farming at...
