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

That night.

A large Han delegation entered the city from the north.

Yu Jing was also responsible for reception, but the specifications were much lower than Chu Ning's.

The status of the crown prince and the prime minister are naturally not on the same level.

"Yu Jing meets the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty!"

"General Yu is too polite."

The two men smiled and saluted, then slowly entered the city to the sound of music.

On the way, Yu Jing said solemnly: "Prime Minister Dongfang, the Crown Prince of Chu has arrived today, and he said he wants to meet with you tonight."

Dongfang Su raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, with a flash of surprise: "I didn't expect the Crown Prince of Chu to arrive before me."

However, thinking about the purpose of Chu Ning's trip, he was not surprised.

After all, he had seen Chu Ning's character in the Han Dynasty. He was truly a man of character.

Only Chu Ning could do such a thing as going to war with the Qin Dynasty for the sake of a woman who saved his life.

However, Yu Jing brought up this matter on his own initiative, so I'm afraid he has no good intentions, right?

While he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Yu Jing say in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Dongfang, this is a tripartite alliance. If you reach an agreement with the State of Chu before the alliance, it seems to go against the original intention of this alliance."

"Prime Minister Dongfang, please think twice about this matter."

From the perspective of the Wei State, it naturally does not want Chu Ning and Dongfang Su to reach an agreement in secret.

However, Cao Zhang and Guo Xiao had not arrived yet, so Yu Jing could only hope to make Dongfang Su afraid in this way.

But Dongfang Su sighed when he heard this: "The Crown Prince of Chu wants to meet me, and I can't refuse."

"General Yu must know who the Crown Prince of Chu is. If I refuse to go, I'm afraid I'll offend him."

"I don't want to offend the State of Chu before the alliance. That would only be disadvantageous to our Han Dynasty."

"As for reaching an agreement, General Yu, please rest assured. I know Chu Ning's character very well. How could I easily believe his lies?"

This made Yu Jing feel relieved.

He hoped that he could convince Dongfang Su, but as long as Dongfang Su had any doubt, it would be impossible for him to unite with Chu Ning.

With Dongfang Su's statement, Yu Jing laughed loudly: "Prime Minister Dongfang is worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. Since you know the character of the Crown Prince of Chu, I will not say more."

"The inn where the Crown Prince of Chu is staying is just ahead. Prime Minister Dongfang, please come in!"

After saying this, Yu Jing spurred his horse forward and led the way.

I deliberately slowed down just now just to convince Dongfang Su.

Now that he had received Dongfang Su's assurance, he no longer had any worries, and he took Dongfang Su to the inn.

But what Yu Jing didn't know was that at this moment, Dongfang Su, who was riding a horse behind him, had a slight smile on his face, revealing an unnoticeable smile.

Soon, under the leadership of Yu Jing, the group arrived outside the inn where Chu Ning was staying.

Several white horse cavalrymen were standing guard on both sides of the inn entrance.

Standing at the door was a general wearing white armor. Who else could it be but Zhao Yu!

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Zhao Yu looked up and saw Yu Jing riding towards him with a group of people.

His eyes lit up and he took the initiative to step forward to greet him.

"I guess this person must be the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty!" Zhao Yu bowed to Dongfang Su.

Dongfang Su smiled slightly: "The general is so young, and he holds a spear. He must be the general Zhao Yu who is beside the crown prince of Chu."

Zhao Yu's expression changed slightly: "I didn't expect that Prime Minister Dongfang actually knew about this general."

Dongfang Su held up his beard with his hand and said with a smile, "Lord Zhao's reputation has long been spread throughout the world along with the White Horse Cavalry. How could I not know him?"

Zhao Yu did not dwell on this matter, but stretched out his hand to indicate: "These are just empty titles. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting for a long time. Please come in!"

After saying that, he led the way in front and Dongfang Su followed behind.

Yu Jing, who was outside the door, saw that Zhao Yu had no intention of inviting him in, so he narrowed his eyes and simply did not leave, waiting outside the door.

At this time, Zhao Yu had already brought Dongfang Su into the living room.

The candlelight flickered in the hall, shining on a person, illuminating that familiar face.

Although it was not the first time he met Chu Ning, every time Dongfang Su saw Chu Ning's young face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The State of Chu has such a young prince, which is really a disaster for other dynasties!

Of course, he still looked polite on the surface, and bowed as he stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu!"

Chu Ning nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Dongfang, we meet again. Come, serve tea!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and motioned Dongfang Su to sit down.

Soon, a guard brought two cups of fragrant tea.

Dongfang Su, who had been on the road all the way here, did not hesitate to pick up the teacup and tasted it slowly.

He was in no hurry.

This time it was Chu Ning who took the initiative to meet him, and if there was anything, Chu Ning should be the first to speak.

Seeing Dongfang Su's demeanor, Chu Ning realized that he had no choice but to speak.

In front of such a cunning person, he was too lazy to beat around the bush and said bluntly: "This time, I asked Prime Minister Dongfang to meet alone because I have something to discuss."

"The Han and Wei have been fighting fiercely for a long time, without distinguishing right from wrong, and both sides have consumed a lot of troops. If the war continues for a long time, the national strength of your two countries will definitely be depleted."

"By then, it will only give other dynasties an advantage!"

Dongfang Su couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when these words were spoken. He didn't expect Chu Ning to go straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

Of course, he was also very curious about why Chu Ning mentioned this?

Dongfang Su took a sip from the teacup and then asked slowly, "Why does the Crown Prince of Chu say that?"

"My Han Dynasty is at war with the Wei Kingdom. If the war continues, it seems to be beneficial to the Chu Kingdom, right?"

He didn't believe that Chu Ning would mention this matter for no reason, and it was something that was beneficial to the State of Chu.

There is only one purpose for doing this - to make a profit!

As expected, Chu Ning said calmly: "If I can find a way to let your Han Dynasty's frontline troops defeat the Wei army, I wonder if you are willing to help me take back Princess Changping!"

Start making conditions.

You can defeat Wei, but this alliance must help him win back Princess Changping.

Dongfang Su suddenly understood.

If someone else made such a request, he would definitely be dismissive.

But the person who made this request was Chu Ning, who was not an ordinary person, and he did not dare to treat Chu Ning's request as a joke.

If someone told him that someone was willing to do such a big thing for a woman, he would definitely not believe it.

But if it was Chu Ning, he would believe it.

There was no other way. Chu Ning was willing to go to war with the Qin Dynasty for Princess Changping.

Of course, he is also willing to help the Han Dynasty defeat the Wei Kingdom for Princess Changping!

Thinking of this, Dongfang Su narrowed his eyes and flashed a strange look: "I wonder how the Crown Prince of Chu plans to help our dynasty defeat the Wei army?"

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to agree to my conditions and do as I say, and I guarantee that you will win!"

These words made Dongfang Su hesitate.

Let him listen to Chu Ning in everything, and guarantee his success?

He knew nothing and just did what Chu Ning said. Wouldn't that make him a puppet?

However, the conditions offered by Chu Ning were so tempting that it was difficult for him to refuse!

Just the two words "guaranteed win" are enough to make people excited!
