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

"Set up camp outside the city?"

Chu Ning stared at the person who spoke and said calmly, "I wonder who this general is?"

Dingxiang County Governor Liu Shouren quickly introduced: "Your Highness, this is the son of the General of Cavalry, the General of the Central Army Chang Zhengyang!"

"General?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and his face darkened instantly: "How dare you, a mere General of the Central Army, be so rude to me? Do you have the right to speak here?

Come, arrest this disrespectful man and punish him thirty times!"

At the command, Ran Ming smiled and rushed over on his horse.

Chang Zhengyang's face changed drastically: "You...you dare!"

Chu Ning said nothing, standing on his horse and watching the scene coldly.

Ran Ming didn't care about Chang Zhengyang's identity. He only listened to Chu Ning's orders. In the blink of an eye, the warhorse rushed in front of Chang Zhengyang.

Chang Hongbo frowned upon seeing this, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Chu Ning is an illegitimate child. Even if he is conferred the title of a prince, he should not have the confidence to confront me here.

But as soon as this man arrived, he wanted to beat his son, clearly wanting to establish his authority.

If I retreat today, who in Dingxiang will listen to me in the future?

"Humph!"

Following a cold snort from Chang Hongbo, several cavalrymen rode out and stood in front of Ran Ming.

Unexpectedly, Ran Ming laughed wildly: "Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Chu Ning behind him rolled his eyes: "They are all our own people, let them live."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ran Ming could only gently spin the halberd he had swung out, instantly removing 90% of the force.

As the long spear swept across, the air was covered with yellow sand, and with a clanging sound, the charging cavalry were instantly knocked away.

Waves of screams rang out one after another at this moment. After falling to the ground, the cavalry only felt pain all over their bodies and could not get up at all.

Chang Hongbo was shocked and stared at Ran Ming in surprise.

Who is this person? I couldn’t even see how he made his move!

It seems that this person's strength is far superior to mine.

While thinking, Chang Zhengyang was furious: "Damn it, you dare to attack my soldiers, come, take this man down and execute him on the spot!"

Chu Ning, you want to kill me? Dream on. This is my father’s territory. I will kill the people under your command first and teach you a lesson. Then, see if you dare to seize my father’s military power!

Following Chang Zhengyang's order, the surrounding cavalry and soldiers immediately rushed up, and even the soldiers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows, looking ready to take action at any time.

But Ran Ming was not afraid at all. He spun his long spear continuously, and the powerful force swept up the surrounding yellow sand. He swept it with his backhand, and the yellow sand hit everyone like sharp arrows.

When everyone was being beaten back, Ran Ming had already rushed to Chang Zhengyang and smashed down with his halberd.

Chang Zhengyang's face changed drastically. It was too late for him to dodge, so he could only draw the sword at his waist and try his best to block upwards.

"Bang!"

But with a clanging sound, the sharp sword broke and the halberd hit Chang Zhengyang. The powerful force even killed the warhorse under his crotch!

With a mournful cry, the warhorse fell to the ground, and Chang Zhengyang was so scared that he rolled on the ground. Although he was a little embarrassed, fortunately he did not fall.

But at this time, Ran Ming had already rushed up on his horse, and with his left hand he seemed to exert force and grabbed it in his hand like a chicken.

"you……"

Chang Zhengyang was furious and struck behind him with a knife.

Unexpectedly, Ran Ming snorted coldly, exerted a little force with his left hand, and the pain from the distance instantly made Chang Zhengyang scream.

This scene made Chang Hongbo's face instantly gloomy.

Chu Ning beat his own son in front of me, not giving me any face at all!

"enough!"

Chang Hongbo's face was filled with anger, his beard trembling with anger, and he asked in a cold voice: "Your Highness, what exactly are you going to do?"

It's useless to talk to that big guy, the source of the problem lies with Chu Ning.

But Chu Ning looked puzzled: "General Chang, I just want to teach this arrogant General a lesson, why are you so nervous?

Just now, General Chang, you saw it, it was clearly your son who spoke rudely first, and I was just teaching him a lesson for you.

Don't worry, after the thirty military sticks are beaten, I will lead my men to set up camp outside the city."

When these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was stunned.

It doesn't make sense for a prince to live outside the city. Once this matter gets back, people will definitely think that they don't respect the royal family.

The reason why Chang Zhengyang asked Chu Ning to live outside the city was just a verbal confrontation, just to embarrass Chu Ning on purpose. No one thought that Chu Ning would agree to this.

But now, Chu Ning agreed.

And he agreed in front of everyone!

Chang Hongbo frowned, feeling confused.

Chu Ning lives outside the city? What does this mean? Is he deliberately embarrassing me, or is he trying to use this incident to beat up his son?

No, we must not let Chu Ning succeed.

No matter whether Chu Ning wanted to take revenge on his son or for other reasons, he must not be allowed to live outside the city!

However, it would be somewhat embarrassing if Ben persuaded himself.

With his eyes narrowed, Chang Hongbo immediately winked at Liu Shouren beside him, signaling him to speak up to ease the relationship between the two sides.

Now that his son is in the hands of others, a head-on confrontation is definitely not going to work. He has to rescue him first!

Seeing this, Liu Shouren smiled bitterly and decided that he had to be the peacemaker himself.

He quickly stepped forward and bowed to Chu Ning: "Your Highness, you have come from a far distance, and you must be tired from the journey. Why don't you go into the city and rest first?

As for the Lieutenant General, he is the son of the General of the Cavalry after all, and he has made many military achievements in the army, so please give him some leniency, Your Highness."

Ran Ming, who was just about to beat up Chang Zhengyang, was furious when he heard this: "You are so unreasonable. Just now this person told us to set up camp outside the city, and now you want us to enter the city!"

"This..." Chang Zhengyang smiled bitterly and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Fortunately, at this time, Chu Ning said calmly: "Master Liu, what you said is not unreasonable. For the sake of the general of the cavalry, I can give you a lighter sentence."

"Ran Ming, hit the Ten Military Sticks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for everyone to react, Ran Ming swung the shaft of his long spear in his right hand towards Chang Zhengyang's back.

"Ah~" Chang Zhengyang screamed and felt a heart-wrenching pain in his body.

This kind of force is definitely a deliberate revenge by Ran Ming.

"You...you let me go, let me go!" Chang Zhengyang roared, enduring the pain.

But the more he spoke, the angrier Ran Ming became. He swung his halberd three times, beating Chang Zhengyang so hard that he screamed in pain, but he could not escape Ran Ming's control.

"Father, save...save me!" Helpless Chang Zhengyang could only ask his father for help.

Chang Hongbo had a gloomy face and stared at Chu Ning, with murderous intent rising in his heart.

As soon as Chu Ning arrived, he beat his son. It seems that he will definitely compete with me for military power next!

In this case, it would be better to let Chu Ning live outside the city to prevent him from entering the city and misleading the soldiers.

As for his own son, he had already been beaten halfway, so it wouldn't hurt to hit him a few more times.

Chang Hongbo suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and ignored his son's cries, just staring at Ran Ming.

By the tenth blow, Chang Zhengyang had been knocked unconscious, with a bloody mess on his back.

It was obvious that Ran Ming had deliberately used heavy hands!

Seeing this, Chang Hongbo snorted coldly: "Your Highness, the execution is over. I still have to take care of my son. You want to set up camp outside the city. I will not disturb you!"

After saying that, Chang Hongbo waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers immediately carried Chang Zhengyang away. At the same time, all the soldiers also entered the city.

The generals and officials looked at each other, then bowed to Chu Ning and said, "We'll take our leave!"

Everyone left, only Dingxiang County Governor Liu Shouren stayed where he was, with a wry smile on his face.

"Your Highness, you are too impulsive!"

"is it?"

Chu Ning raised his lips slightly, looked at Liu Shouren deeply, and asked with a chuckle, "Master Liu, I heard that the city has been short of food and military pay for half a year?"

Liu Shouren was stunned for a moment, then realized that Chu Ning brought food and military pay this time.

It seems that the power struggle between these two will become increasingly intense!
