Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Yucheng.

On the city wall, flags were waving, the morale of the Chu army soared, and everyone was in high spirits.

In one battle, he killed the Sword Master of Qin, captured the great general of Qin, forced back the Qin army, and occupied the Qin city. What a great achievement this was.

Everyone knows that as long as they go back, it will be a great achievement.

At this moment, their Crown Prince was inspecting the city defenses.

Chu Ning stood on the city wall, with a group of generals standing behind him, and they all looked at the Qin army camp outside the city.

Although Sima Cuo led his troops to give up Yucheng, the Qin army did not retreat, but set up camp outside the city, as if to resist the Chu army.

Standing on the city wall, looking down from above, Chu Ning could clearly see the Qin army's deployment.

The Qin cavalry was on the left, the infantry in the middle, the shield bearers on the right, and the archers were arranged at the back.

Chu Ning looked at the Qin army's deployment and nodded slightly: "Although Bai Qi was captured by me, this Sima Cuo seems to be no ordinary person."

Su Tingmei behind him smiled and explained: "Sima Cuo is a general of the Qin State. He has been guarding the border between Qin and Yan for many years. Naturally, he has some skills."

"However, this person has always been conservative and cautious. He will not take action easily, nor will he fight a battle that he is not sure of winning."

"That's why he chose to set up camp outside the city, fearing that our army would take the opportunity to invade Qin."

Chu Ning shook his head and chuckled: "Now our army is not yet ready to go to war with Qin. It is not appropriate to invade Qin at this moment."

"My goal this time is to force Ying Zheng to come in person to exchange for Bai Qi. I believe he will not give up Bai Qi for Princess Changping."

Chu Ning is very confident about this transaction.

After all, Bai Qi is a great general of the Qin State. Now in his hands, it would only take one exchange for Princess Changping, and anyone would agree.

And Ying Zheng, a man who can do anything for the national interest, will definitely not give up this deal for Princess Changping.

Feng Anguo, who was standing by, raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Your Highness, if you calculate the time, the Emperor of Qin should be arriving soon."

"Yes!"

Chu Ning looked into the distance and said calmly, "The last time I met him, we were at war. I didn't expect that this time we would exchange hostages."

As soon as he finished speaking, dust was seen flying in the distance, followed by the rumbling sound of horse hooves.

"Your Highness, look, they are coming!" The sharp-eyed Ran Ming's eyes lit up and he pointed to the distance.

When everyone looked up, they found a troop of soldiers heading towards them.

Chu Ning grinned and said, "Let's go, everyone, follow me out of the city to meet the Emperor of Qin!"

After a pause, he did not forget to instruct: "By the way, remember to bring Bai Qi with you."

At the command, the city gate opened and everyone rode out of the city.

On the Qin army side, Sima Cuo had been waiting outside the camp with his men for a long time.

Seeing the imperial guards riding their horses towards him, Sima Cuo immediately shouted, "Beat the drums, play the music, and welcome His Majesty!"

Amid the deafening sound of drums, the imperial guards arrived in front of the military camp. Then, everyone made way for them, and Ying Zheng, wearing a black dragon robe, rode out on his horse.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!" Sima Cuo and all the generals bowed and saluted.

Ying Zheng glanced at everyone with a cold expression: "No need to be polite, just stand up."

Sima Cuo was about to speak, but Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Stop being polite and take me to see Chu Ning immediately!"

After the defeat in this battle, Ying Zheng didn't want to hear any explanation. He just wanted to meet Chu Ning as soon as possible to resolve the matter.

Bai Qi's surrender brought shame to him and the Qin Dynasty. He had to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise this joke would make him unable to sleep or eat.

Sima Cuo sensed the anger in Ying Zheng's words, his face changed slightly, and he quickly stretched out his hand to signal: "The Chu army has occupied Yucheng and is now stationed in the city.

If Your Majesty wants to meet Chu Ning, you need to go outside Yucheng."

Ying Zheng said indifferently: "Lead the way!"

Sima Cuo did not dare to be careless. He immediately took Ying Zheng through the military camp and rode his horse to the outside of the city.

As soon as they left the camp, they saw rows of Chu soldiers standing at the gate of Yucheng.

In front of the formation, there was a young man wearing a dragon robe and a purple gold crown on his head, with a dragon banner standing upright behind him.

Who else could it be but Chu Ning!

Ying Zheng rode forward with a cold face, stared at Chu Ning, and sneered: "Prince of Chu, how are you?"

Chu Ning laughed: "Emperor Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still as elegant and majestic as ever."

When the two sides met, they confronted each other sharply, and neither of them wanted to lose face in front of the other.

The soldiers behind him were completely silent at this moment, with only the dragon flags of both sides making rustling sounds in the howling north wind.

Ying Zheng looked at the high-spirited Chu Ning, narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes:

"I really want to know why you want to exchange Changping? For a woman, you are willing to release General Bai Qi?"

In his words, he sarcastically said that Chu Ning was willing to let the Qin general go back for the sake of a woman.

This means you would rather have a beauty than the kingdom!

He wanted to use this to undermine the morale of the Chu army.

As expected of the Emperor of Qin, his words were full of sarcasm as soon as he opened his mouth.

The Qin army behind him burst into laughter when he heard this.

The Chu army held their breath and stared at the Qin army, not daring to laugh or show any other expression.

There is only anger!

Chu Ning knew this very well, and said calmly: "Princess Changping was personally arranged by the Emperor of Qin to marry into our dynasty. She is my concubine!"

"As the crown prince of Chu, if you can't even protect your own woman, how can you talk about protecting the country and the people?"

"General Bai Qi is certainly very powerful and important, but in my heart, he is just an outsider."

"Princess Changping and I are engaged. She is my woman and my family. I don't think it's wrong to exchange an outsider for my family."

"Besides, if I can defeat Bai Qi once, I can defeat him countless times!"

Sarcasm, who wouldn't do that?

Even the most talented man in the world couldn't defeat him, so he was even less afraid of Ying Zheng.

Sure enough, after these words were spoken, Ying Zheng's face turned a little ugly.

Chu Ning was far more difficult to deal with than he had believed, and his words were full of mockery of him, the Emperor of Qin.

When mentioning the engagement, it was naturally a satire on him for not keeping his promise and secretly sending someone to assassinate him.

When mentioning Bai Qi, it is of course a satire that his plan was discovered, resulting in Bai Qi being captured.

Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "Since the Crown Prince of Chu is so interested in Changping, then I will grant your request!"

"However, since you are the one who proposed this request, you should bring General Bai Qi out first."

If you don't see the rabbit, don't let the eagle fly!

Chu Ning smiled calmly and waved his hand, saying, "Come here, bring General Bai Qi."

The soldiers behind him brought Bai Qi, who was tied up, to the front of the two armies.

Seeing Ying Zheng coming in person, Bai Qi lowered his head and did not dare to look Ying Zheng in the eye.

At this time, Chu Ning said in a deep voice: "I have shown my sincerity. Should the Emperor of Qin also bring Princess Changping out?"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "Why rush? Since I'm here, I'll naturally bring her with me!"

"Changping, come out!"

Everyone made way for her, and Princess Changping, dressed in tight clothes and expressionless, appeared in front of Chu Ning!
