hen never intended to play by their rules.The Great Cold Dragon Sparrow in one's hand is like the sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head. Anyone who wants to oppose him has to think carefully....Chapter 1393 Three Whips

And it was at this very moment that bandits came to the door. As the head of the family, the prince had to protect his family's safety and drive away the bandits outside. However, the prince alone couldn't do it, so this burly and wicked relative became useful.

"However, this vicious relative wouldn't be any better even if they teamed up with bandits outside. How could they possibly help the prince sincerely"

Even though this spiteful relative is forced to help the prince due to some constraints, they are unhelpful and even potentially sabotage him at crucial moments.

Therefore, to get this wicked relative to wholeheartedly serve the prince, ordinary threats and enticements are absolutely insufficient. The prince needs to have a whip in his hand, one that is powerful enough to kill this wicked relative at any time, so that he fears and dares not do evil.

"As for tax matters, that's one thing, but this whip will make him wary. It won't be enough to kill him on the spot, though."

If you add the matter of weaponry, it becomes a second whip.

"These two whips, stacked together, are enough to make this malicious relative serve the prince within a short time. I presume that Your Highness came here with a plan in mind, and that plan is to take advantage of the situation. Using the pretext already authorized by the imperial court, cover up the fact that King Ning secretly built weapons, and then, in a natural way, use the reason that King Ning secretly built weapons to deal with the Liao army as an excuse to force him to submit"

Zhou Ping'an's words left Li Chen in astonishment.

Many times, Li Chen really admires Zhou Ping'an's strategy.

This method is exactly what he had in mind, and he's already putting it into practice.

And Zhou Ping'an had no prior information, yet he already guessed how he would go and what he would do.

The most terrifying thing is that the premise of all this, the exposure of the arms depot, was all orchestrated by Zhou Ping'an.

In other words, Zhou Ping'an is the mastermind behind all of this. King Ning and himself were all calculated into Zhou Ping'an's plan.

He even anticipated that he would do so, and to this end, he risked his own life.

Know this, whatever other choice Li Chen had made, whether he'd confronted King Ning or chosen to retreat meekly, Zhou Ping'an's only fate would have been death.

Upon seeing Li Chen's expression, Zhou Pingan knew he was right.

He smiled and said, "These two whips are nearly powerful enough, but we're still missing a real trigger that will scare Prince Ning. That trigger is the third whip."

Li Chen was now thoroughly curious.

This third thing, he hadn't expected at all.

"You said," Li Chen said.

Zhou Ping'an bowed his hands and said, “We still need one more thing to be done. Let’s orchestrate a scheme to assassinate the King. This will put Ning Wang in a difficult position. He’ll either have to obey Your Highness’s every command and arrangement, or he’ll be left with irrefutable evidence of attempting to assassinate the crown prince and plotting rebellion.”

After Zhou Ping'an said these words, Li Chen fell silent for a long time.

Not only Li Chen, but even Zhou Changshou was stunned.

He had questioned Zhou Ping'an about it before, but Zhou Ping'an remained silent, only saying that the prince knew how to choose.

Right now, the Crown Prince has arrived. From their conversation, Zhou Changshou understands that the Crown Prince has indeed made the wisest choice, and he now fully comprehends what that choice is.

Before he could even process this, the title "The Four-Armed King" from the third whip was like a bolt from the blue, making Zhou Changshou's eyelids twitch.

He suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
