Chapter 1220: Introduce me

hind him. Guards surrounded the pavilion, sealing off the entire official road for the day. Other citizens had to use other city gates to enter and exit."Haven't you arrived yet" asked the Prince Ning...Chapter 1220 Please Introduce Me

Zhou Ping'an's words prompted the pale man to retort, "Being a peaceful emperor might make martial prowess seem useless, but now that the Qin Empire is teetering on the brink, the real danger doesn't come from within, but from outside."

"To restore the Great Qin Empire to its former glory, one needs bravery. Looking back at all the emperors who founded dynasties throughout history, wasn't their empire built on horseback"

Zhou Ping'an said calmly, "Second brother, you're changing the subject. The Qin Dynasty has reigned for over 360 years. We are not founding a new kingdom now, nor do we need to. If Ning Wang is truly valiant, why did he choose to stand idly by when facing the crisis at Yueya Pass"

This is called strategy.

The pale man said plainly, "Courage is not recklessness. To be flexible, to bend and to stretch, to advance and to retreat, that is the way of a true sovereign."

So I asked my second brother, in his opinion, to restore the Qin Dynasty, one needs courage and strength. But what if the Liao army's cavalry invades Then countless lives will be lost. King Ning could certainly appear as a savior, but does he have absolute certainty that he can save the crumbling empire

Zhou Ping'an's question made the pale man frown, "You are making a fuss out of nothing."

Zhou Ping'an smiled and said, “Then it can be considered as being unreasonable.”

The pale man said, “The prince sent you here. What does he want you to do”

Zhou Ping'an replied, "Since I am the new commissioner of the tax bureau, then of course it is for taxation."

The pallid man narrowed his eyes and said, “Does the Crown Prince intend to investigate Ning Wang’s taxes”

Zhou Ping'an wasn't surprised that his second older brother could guess this.

Second Brother's cunning, has always been no less than his own.

Moreover, he never intended to conceal this purpose from the beginning; even if he tried, he couldn't have.

According to the prince, all land under heaven belongs to the emperor. What's wrong with the imperial court checking on local taxes Zhou Ping’an said.

"Nonsence!"

The pale man's face darkened as he said, "If the prince is going mad, are you joining him You came running here willingly Don't you know Ning Wang's temper He could very well kill you."

Zhou Ping'an spread his hands and said, "If that were really the case, would he even want to be emperor He couldn't even handle being a general; his brain just isn't up to it."

A cold glint appeared in the pale man's eyes. Zhou Ping'an hurriedly added, "Besides, didn't I come to find you first"

The pale man let out a cold snort and said, “I am the strategist for King Ning. Can I not also serve the Crown Prince”

You are not working for the Crown Prince.

Zhou Pingan rose to his feet and bowed deeply to him, saying, “This is you helping your younger brother.”

"Hello, Zhou Ping'an!"

The pale man angrily said, "How old are you You're still acting like a rascal Can you joke about this kind of thing"

"Second brother, just let me have my way this once. If not, after being promoted, the first task I've been given hasn't been completed well. I wouldn't be able to return and report it." Zhou Ping said softly.

With a deeply furrowed brow, the pale man said, “This is a difficult matter.”

"If it were easy, I wouldn't have bothered Second Brother." Zhou Ping said with a slight smile.

"How do you want me to" he asked.

Zhou Ping'an smiled mysteriously and said, “I want Second Brother to help me get the evidence of King Ning's crimes.”

"You're dreaming." The pale man refused without hesitation.

"That's absolutely impossible."

Zhou Ping'an didn't insist, he settled for second best and said, "Then that will do. I would ask Second Brother to introduce me to King Ning."

The pale man sneered, “Did you come here to die yourself”

Zhou Ping smiled but did not speak.not want to see.But Ning Wang's cries went unanswered.That big hand not only didn't stop, it even sped up.Just as Li Chen was about to be reduced to ashes by the giant hand's Buddha light, a snow-whit...
