Chapter 1535: The Prince Is Different From Others

. Yet, as if he had eyes at the back of his head, he remarked, "The third book from the left on the second shelf behind you is 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. It tells the story of a prominent family's ri...Chapter 1535: The Crown Prince Is Different From Others

Facing this toast, Li Chen did not refuse and even politely finished his drink.

A throng of generals immediately cried out, "Your Highness has an abundance!"

Men's friendships are forged strongest on the battlefield, but quickest over drinks.

Li Chen let out a light chuckle, looked up at Wang Dazhi, and said, "Why do you admire me"

Li Chen had thought that Wang Dazhao would say something like, "Your Highness is bold and has a grand vision and courage." But to his surprise, Wang Dazhao replied, “I think Your Highness is different from other officials.”

This caused everyone to burst into laughter. Wu Banshan couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You, Wang Dazhao, if you can't speak, don't speak! The prince is a prince, how can he be the same as those officials"

Wang Dazhao also realized he had made a joke of himself. He blushed and stammered, "No, I mean, Your Highness is different from others."

"I've spent most of my life in the army. A man like me only has two options: become an outlaw and lead a bandit gang, or join the military. There's nothing else I can do, nor am I capable of doing anything else."

"But because I've been a soldier for most of my life, I've also met many powerful people. They all think about their own interests and reputations. But Your Highness is different. Your Highness truly cares for this country and its people, and you genuinely want to do something meaningful."

Although I'm not as intelligent or knowledgeable as you, and I may not understand things as deeply, I believe I haven't made a mistake in judging people. Our prince is different from others.

"Let's be honest, if it were someone else, those princes and nobles, who would want to drink with us roughnecks And the Crown Prince doesn't act like he's above us. He makes all sorts of crude jokes with us, making me feel like he's one of us, not some high-and-mighty figure."

These words made the generals fall silent.

Last, Wu Qingcang broke the silence.

"I didn't expect you, Wang Dazhao, such a rough man, to be able to say such words."

Wang Dazhao said with grievance, "Wu Shuai, I'm just uneducated, and I'm not a heartless idiot."

Such a sentence made everyone burst into laughter.

Li Chen also smiled and shook his head, raised his wine bowl, and said: "Everyone, you have worked hard for days of fighting. I won't say too many polite words. Everything is in the wine. However, there is an important operation after dawn, so tonight we must not drink too much. Wait until the war ends, this palace will personally host a banquet for all of you. At that time, we will drink until we are happy!"

Wu Qingcang and others stood up and said in a loud voice, "We are waiting to have a great drink with Your Highness."

We drank until late into the night.

Because the war was not yet over, Li Chen's words in the middle set the tone, and no one dared to drink too much at this critical juncture. Therefore, everyone kept a moderate amount, and the gathering ended when the moon reached its zenith.

And they go back, all carrying tasks with them.

Li Chen's first task for them was to transfer all the wounded within the city.

Because the problem in front of Li Chen was a difficult one.

The withdrawal of troops is aimed at the Liao army, but it must not be noticed by the Liao army.

If Yueya Pass had turned into an empty city overnight, even a fool would know something was wrong. Given Yelü Shenxuan's caution and carefulness, he would definitely not take such a risk lightly.

So Li Chen is going to act in a play.

A play, realistic enough and big enough production, to lure Yelu Shenxuan in.

When necessary, he will even become the bait himself.was precisely to let Zhou Ping'an stir up trouble.But Li Chen did not expect that Zhou Ping'an's guts were so big that he actually set fire to Ning Wangfu!To make matters worse, this brazen individual...
