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

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness?"

The constant shouting in his ears finally made Chu Ning's tightly closed eyes slowly open.

What caught my eye were the anxious faces of Zhao Yu and Ma Chao.

The warm hibiscus tents all around showed that they were in Willow Leaf City.

Seeing Chu Ning wake up, the two were overjoyed and hurried forward to salute: "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Chu Ning nodded slightly, and just as he was about to stand up, he found that he was so weak that he couldn't do it at all.

"My Lord, what's wrong?"

Chu Ning, who looked weak, couldn't help but speak, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, you have been in a coma for three days. You have not eaten anything in these three days, and you only drank some water."

Chu Ning frowned. He could no longer remember what had happened. He asked in a deep voice, "Tell me the details."

But Zhao Yu quickly suggested: "Your Highness, you haven't eaten for three days. You should drink some porridge first. I will tell you slowly."

Only under Zhao Yu's strong request did Chu Ning agree.

Quarter of an hour later, Chu Ning was helped up by Zhao Yu and Ma Chao and sat on a chair. He drank porridge while listening to Zhao Yu's story.

It turned out that he was so heartbroken over the death of Princess Changping that he accidentally entered the state of selflessness.

As long as you can pass this level, you will definitely become a top-notch master in the future.

But if you can't get through it, you will become a bloodthirsty madman.

Fortunately, he finally managed to pass this level after killing all the Wei troops.

But because he had consumed all his physical strength and energy, coupled with his grief, his body's endurance reached its limit.

In the end, it was Zhao Yu who personally rode the horse and brought him back.

Chu Ning couldn't help but pause after hearing this. He put down the porridge that was about to reach his mouth and asked in a deep voice:

"Where is Princess Changping's body now?"

Zhao Yu's face straightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Put her in a cellar, so that her body won't rot for a short time."

Zhao Yu was well aware of Chu Ning's feelings for Princess Changping. He was worried that Chu Ning would go to see Princess Changping after waking up, so he ordered people to find a way to preserve Princess Changping's body.

Sure enough, Chu Ning's face looked much better. He put down the spoon in his hand, stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice:

"Take me to see her!"

Zhao Yu and Ma Chao looked at each other and said in unison, "Your Highness, please take care of your health and have your meal before you go see Princess Changping!"

But Chu Ning said coldly: "I said, go see Princess Changping first!"

The two looked at each other again, knowing that they could not defeat Chu Ning, so they stood up and led the way.

However, because Chu Ning's body had just recovered and his walking was not very stable yet, Zhao Yu specially arranged for someone to carry him over on a chair.

The cellar was in the backyard of this big house. With the help of Zhao Yu, Chu Ning came to the dark cellar.

Suddenly, a chill rushed towards him, making Chu Ning's hair stand on end.

In a cellar less than ten meters deep, Princess Changping's body lay quietly on a table.

Chu Ning asked everyone to leave before walking forward to look at the emaciated corpse.

He had seen many corpses.

But this was the first time he had come into such close contact with the body of someone closest to him.

Looking at the bloodless face in front of him, his mind kept recalling the scenes of their interactions.

He couldn't imagine that the heroic woman from before had now turned into a corpse, lying quietly in front of him.

Chu Ning clenched his hands tightly. Although he had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't hide his inner grief at this moment.

He held Princess Changping's already skinny hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"

"Not only your father and the Kingdom of Wei, but also the person who cast the spell on you, don't even think about escaping!"

"Since you have been engaged to me, you are my woman. I will take you back to Chu and bury you according to the etiquette of a concubine."

After saying this, Chu Ning took a deep look at Princess Changping's body before turning around and leaving.

He knew that he could no longer linger in grief.

With the deaths of Dongfang Su, Guo Xiao, Yu Jing, Cao Zhang, Princess Changping and others, the struggle between the four dynasties will surely become more brutal.

This time, he captured Liuye City, which was equivalent to driving a nail between Qin and Wei, cutting off the connection between Qin and Wei.

I believe that the Han Dynasty will never miss this opportunity.

After leaving the cellar, Chu Ning was carried back to the room.

However, he no longer had the desire to eat. He looked at Zhao Yu and Ma Chao and asked in a deep voice:

"How is this battle going?"

After he fell into a coma, he was unaware of anything happening in the outside world and now wanted to know the outcome of the battle.

Ma Chao bowed and reported: "Your Highness, in this battle, more than 20,000 of the 30,000 Wei troops were killed, and the rest have all retreated back to Wei territory."

"There are still more than 200 soldiers and horses left in the Han Dynasty. According to your previous instructions, release them and deliberately let them report back to the Han Dynasty that Dongfang Su was killed by Yu Jing."

"All the Qin army guards on the mountain were killed, no one survived!"

After a pause, he continued, "Our army lost more than 4,000 people in this battle, most of whom died in the city."

When talking about the battle damage, Ma Chao looked distressed.

The cavalry under his command were carefully selected, so it would be fine if they died on the charge.

But he felt very aggrieved that he was treated as a infantryman and died in a street fight.

Chu Ning saw what Ma Chao was thinking and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will not treat the brothers who died in the battle unfairly."

"I will return home when my health improves, and I will also ask for credit from my father."

These words made Zhao Yu and Ma Chao's faces change drastically.

Of course they knew that Chu Ning was in a hurry to go back in order to bury Princess Changping, but Liuye City had just been taken and they had not yet gained a firm foothold. How could they leave at this time?

Moreover, the soldiers under Ma Chao's command are all cavalry, and are not good at attacking and defending cities. If these soldiers stay in Liuye City, wouldn't this give Qin and Wei an opportunity to take advantage!

Ma Chao immediately bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, Liuye City is of great importance, please stay for a while!"

But Chu Ning shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Changping's body cannot be dragged away. I will take her body back for burial first."

"General Ma Chao, I'll leave Liuye City to you to guard. Don't worry, my father has already sent my thirteenth brother with infantry to provide support."

"According to the time, it should be almost time. You can just follow Brother Thirteen's instructions then."

These words made Ma Chao feel greatly relieved.

If he were the only one guarding Liuye City with the cavalry, he couldn't guarantee that he could hold it.

But if the Thirteenth Prince Chu Kuang came with his troops, there would be no problem.

"So the Thirteenth Prince is coming. I was too worried." Ma Chao felt relieved.

Just then, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside the house.

Then, a Jinyiwei's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, Qin, Han and Wei have all sent troops!"
