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

The prince is in a bad mood!

I thought the plan was perfect, but unexpectedly it was broken by Chu Ning.

Although Zhao Yu did not describe the battle in detail, it was probably because Zhao Feiyan was too careless that two hundred people were killed by fifty people.

It's just so stupid!

The prince had a gloomy face and led everyone on horseback for several hours, finally arriving at the woods.

At this time, Chu Ning was directing the soldiers to cook and start lunch.

"Your Majesty's decree has arrived!"

Hearing Zhao Ming's sharp voice, Chu Ning, who was eating, put down his food and stepped forward to bow.

"I heard that the food supplies were attacked last night. It must have been attacked by the State of Zhao. Now that Zhao Feiyan has been killed, the State of Zhao will definitely send troops to the front line. The Prince of Penglai must send troops to the front line immediately. I decree this!"

"Your son obeys your order!" Chu Ning took the imperial edict with both hands.

"Manager Zhao, you've worked hard on the journey. Why don't you stay and have dinner with us?" Chu Ning suggested with a smile.

Zhao Ming waved his hand quickly: "I have to return to the palace to report, so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye!"

After saying this, Zhao Ming turned around and left as if he was escaping.

Chu Ning shook his head, turned to look at the prince, and asked in surprise, "Why is Brother Prince here?"

The prince looked solemn and said, "Such a big thing has happened, how can I not come? By the way, I heard that you caught the masked men, where are they now?"

Chu Ning laughed secretly in his heart.

The masked man must have been secretly trained by the prince as he came here in such a hurry to rescue the person.

Now that I've caught you with something, I'd feel guilty about mobilizing so many people last night if I didn't blackmail you.

"So Brother Prince is here because of what happened last night!"

Chu Ning suddenly realized: "The living person has been taken to identify the villa. Now I think Miss Feng has surrounded the place with her men and is trying to catch the owner of the villa and find the mastermind behind it."

Looking for the mastermind behind the scenes?

You must find me!

If I were to be found out, I would be in big trouble.

Not to mention secretly cultivating power, the mere fact of colluding with foreign enemies is enough to cost one's life.

Even if my father spared my life out of respect for our relationship, I would definitely not be able to keep my position as crown prince.

The prince suddenly panicked.

No, we must not let Chu Ning investigate further!

The prince suppressed his inner fear and said with a wry smile, "Eighteenth brother did the right thing. We must find out who is behind this. To dare to cultivate such a large force in Kyoto, the other party must be very powerful. Eighteenth brother, be careful."

We must find a way to seize the investigation rights of this matter!

Chu Ning's face turned a little ugly when he heard this: "Brother Crown Prince, what you said does make some sense. It seems that I have to be careful."

The prince's eyes lit up. "How about this? Let me handle this matter. Eighteenth brother, you have to go to the front line anyway, so you don't have time to deal with this matter."

"This……"

Chu Ning showed a hint of hesitation on his face: "Will this cause trouble to my brother, the Crown Prince? After all, you are very busy and cannot let this matter delay your government affairs."

The fish has been hooked, and now it depends on how much benefit this fish can give.

You have to whet your appetite enough before you let go!

The corner of the prince's mouth twitched, and he cursed Chu Ning in his heart for being shameless. Why don't you usually talk about state affairs? Now you are talking about it, you are deliberately making things difficult for me!

Taking a deep breath, the prince suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "Eighteenth brother, what are you talking about? Although I am a bit busy on weekdays, when something as big as this happens, I will naturally give priority to handling this matter.

How about this? Your food and grass were robbed this time, so you must have suffered some losses. I am willing to privately provide you with 100,000 dan of food!"

In order to get Chu Ning to agree, I can only bear the pain and offer him a favor another day. Otherwise, with Chu Ning's personality, he will never agree to let me accept this.

This is a serious matter, so it is reasonable to pay some price!

What's more, one hundred thousand dan of grain is nothing to me, and these one hundred thousand dan of grain are not for Chu Ning personally, but are used to support the front line.

Even if this gets out, I can still gain a good reputation.

Chu Ning loves money so much that he will definitely agree.

Sure enough, Chu Ning's eyes lit up, and a hint of joy flashed across his face: "Are you serious, Prince?"

The prince sneered in his heart, thinking that the man was indeed a person who had never seen the world. He was so excited by just a small profit.

"I always keep my word. If you are worried, I will send someone to get food!"

The prince waved his hand and said, "Someone, come and pass on my order to let the Crown Princess..."

"and many more!"

Chu Ning interrupted the prince before he could finish, "Brother Prince, I haven't agreed yet."

Ok?

Did not agree?

Are you dissatisfied with the food I gave you?

This greedy guy!

The prince frowned, revealing an unhappy look: "Eighteenth brother, this is where you are wrong. I am devoted to the court and the country, you must not let me down."

This guy is really good at pretending.

It is obvious that you are the mastermind behind this. You are eager to take over the matter immediately and find a scapegoat to settle the case. But now you turn the tables and blame me.

Chu Ning sneered in his heart, but on the surface he looked helpless: "This matter is of great importance, so let's wait for the order from the emperor.

Miss Feng should have captured all of those people. We just need to take them to Kyoto City, and the emperor will make the decision."

You are just giving me 100,000 dan of grain. Do you think I am a beggar?

How can I be worthy of your status as the crown prince if I don't make a big profit from you!

The prince's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this.

Once the people from the villa are taken to Kyoto, no matter how capable I am, I will not be able to turn the tide.

This matter must be handled outside of Kyoto, and that group of people must not be allowed to enter the city.

Chu Ning just wants some benefits, just give them to him.

Taking a deep breath, the prince suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "Eighteenth brother, what you said does make some sense, but please don't bother father with this matter. I can handle it.

The war on the front line has already given father a headache. This time, my eighteenth brother, you killed Zhao Feiyan, and father will have even more troubles in the future.

This is just a small matter of investigating the person behind the scenes, and I can handle it completely."

Chu Ning hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since Brother Crown Prince said so, I will not insist anymore. But as for the food..."

"Two hundred thousand dan!" The prince doubled the amount without hesitation!

As long as this problem can be solved completely, 200,000 dan of grain is nothing.

Compared to the position of crown prince, this price is nothing.

But Chu Ning grinned and said, "I want one million dan, and I want it tomorrow!"

"This...this is impossible!"

The prince was furious: "Eighteenth brother, your request is too much!"

One million dan of grain, why doesn't this bastard go and rob it.

And we have to raise all of it within one or two days, how is that possible?

Chu Ning shrugged and said indifferently: "Brother Crown Prince, why are you angry? If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. But I think that after seeing the group of people in the villa, my father will definitely choose a brother to be in charge of this case!"

The prince will not give in without some pressure.
