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

Cao Zhang's death completely angered Yu Jing and the Wei army.

It was a great shame that a prince died in the area under their jurisdiction.

Shame can only be washed away with blood!

Regardless of whether Chu Ning and Dongfang Su did it or not, they must blame it on these two people.

Only in this way can the consequences of this incident be quickly resolved and their hatred can be vented.

Moreover, killing Chu Ning and Dongfang Su would weaken the Chu State and the Han Dynasty, which would be very beneficial to the Wei State.

As for the so-called tripartite alliance?

Humph, what time is it now? Are you still going to form an alliance?

If they killed Chu Ning and Dongfang Su, would other dynasties really send troops to Wei for these two people?

Filled with anger, Yu Jing and Guo Xiao quickly returned to Liuye City with their troops.

At this moment, it is already afternoon.

The afternoon sun shines down, making people feel warm.

But at this moment, the Wei army felt cold all over, and a surge of anger filled their chests, prompting them to keep riding their horses and galloping back to the city.

At this moment, Chu Ning, who was unaware of the impending disaster, was drinking tea leisurely.

Willowleaf City, Yu Jing’s residence, living room.

The aroma of tea filled the air. Chu Ning sat upright in the main seat. He had already changed several cups of tea, but he still had no intention of leaving.

The maids serving inside and outside the courtyard looked at him from time to time, fearing that the tea would be finished and they would neglect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu.

Fortunately, they did not have to worry for too long, as their master Yu Jing returned with his troops.

"Come here, surround the house!"

Yu Jing, who had already received the news and knew that Chu Ning was in his mansion, sent people to surround the house without saying a word.

The soldier on white horse guarding the door was furious and was about to attack, waving his spear.

But Chu Ning, who heard the noise, came out from the living room and laughed, "What made Lord Yu so angry? I heard that you went out of the city to welcome your King Wei, why are you so angry when you come back?"

As he was talking, Chu Ning arrived at the gate of the mansion.

What caught my eye was Yu Jing, who was full of anger, and a middle-aged man who was over 40 years old, thin, pale, and coughing constantly.

Chu Ning didn't wait for the two to speak, and took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile: "This must be the famous Wei State Prime Minister Guo Xiao, right?"

Guo Xiao coughed twice, stared at Chu Ning, and said coldly: "Prince of Chu, I have heard of your great name for a long time, but your acting skills are too poor!"

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Acting? Poor? I wonder where Prime Minister Guo got such a remark?"

"Also, shouldn't you come with Cao Zhang? Where are the others?"

As he spoke, he also looked behind the other person.

But there was no sign of Cao Zhang.

Yu Jing's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Don't put on airs in front of me. It's obvious that you sent people to secretly kill King Wei!"

"I will avenge King Wei now!"

"Qiang~"

As the sword was unsheathed, a cold light flashed and went straight towards Chu Ning.

But Chu Ning did not dodge and still stood where he was.

Then, a long spear swept over, blocked the sharp sword, and suddenly lifted it up, actually forcing Yu Jing to retreat several steps.

Zhao Yu snorted coldly, holding his spear in front of Chu Ning, and said loudly: "If you want to attack His Highness, you must get past me first!"

But Chu Ning smiled and motioned Zhao Yu to leave, saying calmly: "You two, even if you want to kill me, you should let me be a clear-headed ghost, right?"

"I have been waiting for General Yu here for the whole morning, and you want to kill me as soon as you arrive. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

"I don't want to be confused, I wonder which of you can help me solve this problem?"

Yu Jing frowned when he heard this and turned to look at Guo Xiao.

Guo Xiao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I and King Wei were attacked on the way here. King Wei was killed and even his head was cut off!"

Chu Ning was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Prime Minister Guo, even if you want to kill me, you don't have to find such an excuse."

"If King Wei was killed, why was your Prime Minister Guo unharmed?"

These words made Yu Jing's face change slightly.

Yes, even King Wei is dead, how come Guo Xiao is still alive?

And from what Guo Xiao said just now, the group of men in black left immediately after his patrol cavalry passed by.

But he didn't have many patrol cavalry. How could the other side let Guo Xiao go easily?

At this moment, Yu Jing had different thoughts in his mind.

At this moment, Guo Xiao faced Chu Ning's accusation and said coldly: "When the group of black-clothed men saw the patrolling cavalry, they left immediately. I think they left because they thought General Yu's troops were coming soon."

"You and Dongfang Su are the only ones who can mobilize such experts here to surround and kill King Wei and Benxiang!"

Chu Ning finally understood after hearing this. It turned out that these two people did not have any evidence.

"Prime Minister Guo, as a wise prime minister of Wei, I never thought you would be so careless."

Chu Ning sneered, "It's ridiculous to conclude that it was the king and Prime Minister Dongfang who sent people to attack without any evidence."

"According to what you said, anyone who has the ability to do this should die, so you and General Yu should die as well!"

"As the Prime Minister of Wei, you hold a high position of power. It's not excessive to have some experts, right?"

"As for General Yu, that goes without saying. All of you are his men here. It would be easy for him to surround and kill you."

"Besides, I met with Prime Minister Dongfang last night. Our people are all in the city and cannot leave. How can we go out to surround and kill you?"

A series of rhetorical questions left Guo Xiao speechless.

Yu Jing, on the other hand, frowned and looked thoughtful.

This matter is really strange.

However, in the face of Chu Ning's accusation, he still refuted: "As a subject, how can I surround and kill the prince?"

"is it?"

Chu Ning sneered, "You deliberately killed Cao Zhang here so that you can use this as an excuse to kill me and Dongfang Su!"

"Sacrificing a prince in exchange for the lives of me and Dongfang Su is a good deal, isn't it?"

These words left Guo Xiao and Yu Jing speechless.

Who would be so bold as to joke with the life of a prince?

Yu Jing narrowed his eyes and frowned, "I know you are a silver-tongued man, but this incident must have been done by you!"

"Today, I will not only kill you, but also Dongfang Su!"

After saying this, he waved his hand and prepared to order an attack.

The White Horse Cavalry suddenly became nervous and protected Chu Ning in the middle.

But Chu Ning still looked calm: "Go ahead, kill me, and the 50,000 soldiers outside the city will attack immediately!"

"Killing Dongfang Su will only make the Han Dynasty united in hatred of the enemy and intensify the offensive on the front line!"

"Of course, the one who is more proud is Ying Zheng. Once we start fighting, he will be the one who benefits in the end!"

"By then, your Wei Kingdom will become the target of public criticism and be besieged by the three great dynasties!"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Xiao's face suddenly changed, and he uttered a few words fiercely:

"Qin! Country!"

"It must have been them!"
