The moment Li Ji saw the Crown Prince, he heard his true thoughts.
'So the Crown Prince is afraid of taking responsibility and plans to make me the scapegoat.'
Li Cheng feigned a humble and inquisitive look.
"Before we left, Father Emperor instructed me that Prince Zhao is incredibly experienced in military campaigns. You must have encountered similar problems before. Do you have any brilliant solutions?"
Li Ji watched him with a half-smile, his eyes full of ridicule.
"Crown Prince, you are exceptionally intelligent. If even you can't think of a solution, what ideas could I possibly have?"
Li Cheng frowned. "Excessive modesty is just another form of arrogance. At a critical time like this, you can't be playing games. If you have a solution, just say it."
Li Ji sneered.
"I truly have no solution. The rope bridge is right there. If you are afraid, Crown Prince, you can turn back at any time."
Li Cheng's expression darkened.
'Prince Zhao isn't giving me any face at all!'
