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

"What did you say? There are still rumors about me in the country now?"

Chu Ning realized that something was wrong and his expression instantly turned ugly.

He thought that his current achievements were enough to intimidate the domestic small fry, but he didn't expect that there were still people who wanted to target him.

"Let's go to the city wall and talk!"

Chu Ning had a cold face, flicked his sleeves, and walked straight towards the city wall.

Chu Kuang glanced at Ma Chao and said, "General Ma, please settle these brothers that I brought with me."

Ma Chao quickly bowed and saluted: "Don't worry, Your Highness Thirteenth Prince, I will take them into the city right away."

After getting the answer, Chu Kuang nodded slightly, then took a step to catch up with Chu Ning.

A moment later, the two arrived at the city wall.

Chu Ning dismissed his attendants, and only the two of them were left standing alone on the city wall.

"Tell me, what exactly happened in the city?" Chu Ning asked coldly.

Chu Kuang's rough face showed a hint of helplessness: "Eighteenth brother, before we set out, there were rumors in the country that you sent troops just for a woman."

"Especially after the battle in Yucheng, you brought people to Liuye City, and all kinds of news that were unfavorable to you were everywhere."

"In order to suppress this matter, my father sent people to arrest many people, but the more people he arrested, the more rumors about you there were."

"In the end, even my father was somewhat helpless and could only let the situation develop."

These words made Chu Ning frown and look puzzled.

It stands to reason that he defeated the Qin army in Yucheng and made great contributions, so there would be no unfavorable news about him in the country.

More importantly, since the emperor has intervened, why can't he suppress these voices?

Could it be that the other party is stronger than the emperor?

In the State of Chu, besides him, who else has such strength?

Realizing that something was wrong, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed across them.

"It seems like someone is really pushing this."

Chu Ning looked into the distance and said in a cold tone, "My father is not good at handling these things. In addition, now that Prime Minister Yang Wende has gone to Yandi, some people think they can take advantage of the opportunity to control public opinion and take action against me!"

"Although I don't know who this person is, this time I go back, it's just the right time to solve this matter."

He was well aware of the King of Chu's abilities. In the past, important affairs of the court were handled by Prime Minister Yang Wende and the Grand Tutor.

But now the Prime Minister is not in the country, and the Grand Tutor is the only one left, and he may not be able to handle many things.

It just so happened that the Han Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom were about to have a decisive battle on the front line, so he took this opportunity to go back and find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

But Chu Kuang hesitated and asked, "Eighteenth Brother, how many people are you going to take with you this time?"

Now it is Chu Kuang's turn to stay in Liuye City. He is afraid that Chu Ning has taken away too many people and he will not be able to guard the place.

Chu Ning came back to his senses and said calmly: "It is enough to take a thousand people back. The rest will be under your command."

"With nearly 70,000 cavalry and infantry, Brother Thirteen can be considered a leader on his own."

"You just need to lead your men to attack Liuye City and prevent the Qin army from going there to support Wei."

"Of course, no matter what the outcome of the decisive battle between the Han Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom is, you will immediately send troops to seize the Wei Kingdom's cities as soon as the victory or defeat is decided."

"Remember, take as much as you can, don't worry about the Han Dynasty!"

Although the agreement between the Han Dynasty and him was for two states, if he occupied more cities, would the Han Dynasty still dare to take action?

Even if the Han Dynasty won at that time, it would have been a pyrrhic victory and it would have been powerless to attack them.

Chu Kuang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smirked, "I knew that my eighteenth brother is not someone who would suffer any loss!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely stop the Qin army and occupy as many Wei cities as possible."

"But Eighteenth Brother, you are only taking a thousand soldiers with you this time. Isn't that too dangerous?"

"Now all the troops in the country have been mobilized, and there are only 20,000 imperial guards in the capital. If someone attacks you..."

At the end, he dared not say any more.

After all, since the other party dared to attack Chu Ning, he must be sure of it.

If Chu Ning brings fewer people back this time, I'm afraid he will be unable to cope!

But Chu Ning said calmly: "Do you think anyone dares to attack me in the territory of Chu?"

"Besides, you just said that there are still 20,000 soldiers in the capital!"

Chu Kuang wanted to say something, but Chu Ning interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Alright, Thirteenth Brother, you have come a long way, you must be tired, go down and rest!"

"This……"

Chu Kuang touched his huge head and said hesitantly: "Let me see my eighteenth brother off, okay?"

"No need!"

Chu Ning said in a deep voice: "I will take Princess Changping's body back for burial as soon as possible. There is no need for complicated etiquette."

After saying this, without waiting for Chu Kuang to speak, he turned around and walked down the city wall.

Chu Kuang looked at Chu Ning's departing back, sighed, and murmured to himself: "I don't know if Eighteenth Brother will kill again when he returns this time."

Others may not know Chu Ning's personality, but how could he not know?

He was not someone who would suffer a loss in the first place, and now Princess Changping is dead. Anyone who attacks Chu Ning is simply crazy.

He actually provoked Chu Ning who was already angry.

If Chu Ning finds out when we go back this time, I'm afraid we'll be uprooted and not a single one will be left alive.

I'm afraid that many people in the State of Chu will lose their heads this time!

While deep in thought, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from under the city wall.

Leaning down and looking down at the city, I saw a cavalry escorting a coffin and quickly leaving the city.

Then, Ma Chao came up and saluted: "Your Highness Thirteen, the Crown Prince has ordered that the news of his return to the country be spread!"

Chu Kuang frowned, his face full of confusion: "Why is this?"

Spreading the news now will tell the Qin and Wei armies that Chu Ning is not here, so come and attack the city.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret?

Ma Chao's mouth twitched as he explained, "Your Highness the Crown Prince just wants to let Wei know about this, so that they can feel at ease and boldly fight the Han Dynasty!"

"We don't have to worry about the Wei and Qin armies attacking from both sides. We just need to stop the Qin army."

Chu Kuang reacted and nodded slightly.

Now the Han Dynasty has mobilized heavy troops to the front line, while the Wei State has been defeated on the front line and its morale is low. Facing the Han Dynasty's offensive, it can only mobilize troops to fight.

In this way, Liuye City is relatively safer.

As for the 30,000 Qin troops that were about to arrive, they really didn't take them seriously.

Not to mention that the number of soldiers and horses here has reached a terrifying 70,000. The natural barrier of Willow Leaf City alone can stop the Qin army.

"I see. It seems that my Eighteenth Brother has arranged everything. I can rest assured now!"

Chu Kuang laughed loudly: "General Ma, you can take care of the arrangements for what happens next. I'm tired and I'm going to sleep first!"

After saying this, he glanced at the soldiers leaving in the distance before turning around and leaving.

At this moment, Chu Ning, who was leaving, had a gloomy face and murderous intent in his heart.

He wanted to see who else in Chu State was not convinced by him!

This time, he wants to kill to his heart's content!

Even he himself didn't know that after reaching the state of selflessness, the murderous intent in him was far greater than before!

This time when we go back, it will be a bloody storm!
