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

"This... Sir, are you willing to persuade Chu Ning?"

Ying Zheng stared at Zhang Yi in disbelief: "Chu Ning is a man with unpredictable intentions. It may be very dangerous to go there. Please think twice before you proceed."

Zhang Yi said calmly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I am no threat to Chu Ning. He will never attack a scholar."

Seeing Zhang Yi's firm attitude, Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed across them.

If Zhang Yi can really convince Chu Ning, and his letter can intimidate Cao De, then this matter can be accomplished.

The situation is like this now, and he doesn't have any good solution, so he might as well listen to Zhang Yi first.

With a try-it-out attitude, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Sir, since you are so careless, from now on, you will be the Prime Minister of Qin!"

"Someone, bring the seal!"

"Wait a minute!"

Zhang Yi stretched out his hand to stop him, and said sternly: "If I were to be the prime minister now, I would probably have a hard time convincing the people if I could accomplish even a little bit of merit."

"Again, if I go to persuade them as a commoner, Chu Ning cannot do anything to me."

"This seal will be collected after I return from attacking the city!"

After saying this, Zhang Yi bowed, turned around and left with a big laugh.

As soon as this person left, a general stood up and frowned, saying, "Your Majesty, is this person really that capable?"

Ying Zheng regained his normal look at this moment, and said calmly: "No matter whether this person can convince Chu Ning or not, the courage to break into the enemy camp alone is extraordinary!"

"Someone, prepare a car immediately and take Mr. Zhang to Yucheng!"

Regardless of whether Zhang Yi can succeed, he should at least give it a try.

If this is accomplished, the war can be transferred to the State of Wei.

If it fails, it will at least cause trouble to Chu Ning.

The Qin State could take advantage of this period of time to mobilize troops and food and make defensive preparations in advance.

No matter what, Qin will not lose out.

One day later, Yucheng.

A carriage came closer and closer, and finally arrived at the city wall after a long time.

Seeing this, the defenders on the city wall immediately asked, "Stop!"

Zhang Yi opened the curtain, stepped out, bowed, and said loudly:

"Zhang Yi, a commoner from Qin, has brought news about Princess Changping. Please come and see the Crown Prince of Chu!"

The garrison on the city wall certainly knew the relationship between Chu Ning and Princess Changping. Upon hearing this, his face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice:

"Wait outside the city for a while while we go and report!"

It took a full three quarters of an hour for the soldier who reported to return.

"His Royal Highness wants to see you, but only you can enter the city."

"Can!"

"Open the city gate!"

As the city gate opened, Zhang Yi entered the city alone, with his carriage and entourage waiting outside the city.

There was already a horse waiting in the city. Zhang Yi jumped on the horse and, led by the Chu army, arrived in front of a large house.

There was no obstruction all the way, through the front yard and into the living room.

As soon as he entered, Zhang Yi felt a strong gaze staring at him.

When I looked up, I saw a man wearing a python robe and a purple gold crown on his head. He had a face as handsome as jade and sword-like eyes between his eyebrows. He was truly a dragon among men!

With just one glance, Zhang Yi concluded that the person in front of him was Chu Ning, the Crown Prince of Chu!

On both sides of the hall stood several generals and a man holding a feather fan.

Zhang Yi glanced at everyone, then stepped forward and bowed with a smile: "I, Zhang Yi, greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu!"

"Are you Zhang Yi?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, stared at the man, and said calmly: "I heard that you have the talent to govern the country, but you are unwilling to come out of retirement. I wonder why you are here to lobby for the Qin State this time?"

As soon as he opened his mouth he started talking nonsense!

But Zhang Yi chuckled and said, "Prince Chu is wrong in two ways."

"Oh?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and said with interest, "I'd like to hear more about it!"

Zhang Yi said calmly, "There are many talented people in Qin. Only one or two people are needed to help His Majesty govern the country. Why do you need a mediocre person like me? This is a mistake."

"I came here only to bring news about Princess Changping to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu, not to serve as a lobbyist. This is my second mistake!"

This person was very eloquent, which made Chu Ning raise his eyebrows and look at him with some admiration.

Even Su Tingmei, who had been waving a feather fan, couldn't help but narrow her eyes and look cautious.

Being able to say these words not only proves that Zhang Yi is an eloquent person, but also proves that he is indeed talented.

The Qin State is indeed the most powerful country in the world. Gan Long died, but Baili Xi emerged, and now there is Zhang Yi!

This is the advantage of a vast land and abundant resources. With more people, there are more talented people.

When he was surprised, he heard Ran Ming snort coldly: "You are such a good talker. You actually dare to say something bad about His Highness. Believe it or not, I will blow your head off!"

A powerful aura roared out, causing Zhang Yi's face to change drastically, and he involuntarily took two steps back.

But even so, Zhang Yi still said in a deep voice: "General, do you want to put your prince in an unjust situation?"

"I am just a commoner, and I have come here to present news about Princess Changping. If you kill me, how will people in the world view your prince?"

"This……"

Ran Ming touched his huge bald head and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

If it were someone else, Ran Ming would definitely not care.

But this is Chu Ning's reputation, he can't help but care.

At this moment, Chu Ning took the initiative to speak up and said, "Ran Ming, please stop joking with Mr. Zhang."

Ran Ming curled his lips and then retracted his momentum.

Chu Ning stared at Zhang Yi and asked calmly, "Since you are here to deliver a message, then tell me, how is Princess Changping doing now?"

Zhang Yi sighed: "I'm afraid that the Crown Prince of Chu will be disappointed. Princess Changping is in a very bad situation now."

These words made Chu Ning's face darken.

Zhang Yi noticed Chu Ning's change and continued, "Because the assassination attempt on you failed, the general and others were killed, and our dynasty was defeated. Your Majesty put all the blame on Princess Changping."

"Therefore, His Majesty of our dynasty has decided to marry Princess Changping to the Prince of Wei, Cao Zhang!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Ning became furious and slammed the table and stood up.

"How dare he treat Princess Changping like this!"

Chu Ning stared at Zhang Yi: "Whose idea was this?"

Zhang Yi remained calm and said calmly, "Of course, it is the emperor of our dynasty. This is how it is in our dynasty. If you fail to complete the task, you will be punished."

"What's more, Princess Changping caused my dynasty to suffer huge losses this time, and His Majesty of our dynasty was furious, so he planned to allow her to marry the State of Wei."

"In this way, we don't have to worry about Wei suddenly sending troops to attack our hinterland when we are fighting you."

At this point, Zhang Yi bowed and said, "The message has been delivered, and I should take my leave now."

After saying that, Zhang Yi bowed to everyone, then turned and left.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chu Ning suddenly snorted coldly: "Did I let you go?"

Zhang Yi was not nervous. He turned around and stood where he was, saying calmly, "Why, does the Crown Prince of Chu want to force me to stay?"
