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

Ying Hai was completely panicked.

In order to avoid death at the hands of Chu Ning, he came up with a plan to surrender.

He knew that it was impossible for him to escape at this moment.

The only way to survive is to surrender.

He felt that as long as Chu Ning was under his control and posed no threat to Chu Ning, Chu Ning would not kill him.

What's more, the Qin State is so large that if Chu Ning wants to govern it, he must win the hearts of the people.

If the surrendered prince were killed at this time, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people of Qin.

So, he decided to take a gamble.

Moreover, he has two trump cards in his hand. As long as he takes them out, Chu Ning will definitely not kill him.

Chu Ning, who had no idea that Ying Hai was about to surrender, rushed to Chaoyang City with his troops.

The weather in January is very cold.

The war horses continuously spewed out white gas and neighed from time to time. The huge team was heading towards Yangcheng at the fastest speed.

In the carriage in the middle of the team, there was a luxurious purple carriage pulled by six horses.

Inside the car, Chu Ning, whose face was somewhat dark, looked at the angry Feng Mulan and couldn't help but laugh:

"Why have you been so depressed these past two days?"

Feng Mulan snorted coldly, staring at Chu Ning with her beautiful eyes: "Look at yourself now, where is the dignity of the Crown Prince of Chu?"

Although the words were spoken fiercely, the worry on his face was evident.

As time went by, the poison in Chu Ning's body began to attack again and again. Even though she used her internal energy to suppress it for Chu Ning every day, it was still of no avail.

Doctor Sun looked at him several times and his face didn't look very good. He just said that the antidote made from the Fiery Sun Grass must be obtained as soon as possible to remove the poison.

In the past two days, as the poison attacked more and more often, Chu Ning's aura became weaker and weaker, and even his face became very ugly.

His originally handsome face now looked thin and dark.

Feng Mulan couldn't bear to see Chu Ning like this and felt very distressed.

It's just that she is not good at expressing her feelings, so she has to use this method to vent her dissatisfaction.

Chu Ning knew Feng Mulan's worries, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard it: "Don't be nervous, I have already sent someone to send a letter to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Khan of the Barbarians. Maybe they will send the Fiery Sun Grass to us."

Even so, Feng Mulan snorted coldly: "Those two guys have no friendship with our dynasty. Now that our dynasty has destroyed the Qin Dynasty, they wish you dead. How could they give you the Fiery Sun Grass?"

Chu Ning was slightly stunned by this. He didn't expect that Feng Mulan, who was always known for her big breasts and no brains, could be so smart at times.

For a moment, the carriage fell silent.

At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the car, and then Jia Yu's voice came:

"Your Highness, the Royal Guards have sent a message that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has rejected your request and said that the Fiery Sun Grass has a miraculous effect on the Empress of the Tang Dynasty. He will definitely not give the Fiery Sun Grass to you."

At this moment, Feng Mulan's face suddenly darkened, she clenched her hands suddenly, and said in a cold voice:

"If he doesn't hand it over, I will lead my troops to rob it myself!"

For Chu Ning, she can do anything.

But Chu Ning was not surprised by this. After all, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty definitely wanted to have one less opponent.

"Forget it. Since he is unwilling to hand it over, then we won't force him."

Chu Ning shook his head and said calmly: "I will remember this matter."

If he can recover in the future, he will settle this account with the Tang Dynasty sooner or later.

At this time, Jia Yu said, "Your Highness, Jin has already contacted the Tang Dynasty and asked to borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty in exchange for military pay and food."

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered his general Yuchi Gong to lead 50,000 troops to enter the State of Jin to assist in the defense of the fortress."

Not only did Li Shiming not hand over the Fiery Sun Grass, he even sent troops to help the State of Jin.

This is a determination to curb the development of the State of Chu.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across his face: "It seems that the feud between our dynasty and the Tang Dynasty has been established."

"Humph, since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is so ignorant, once I conquer Jin, it will be the turn of the Tang Dynasty next."

But Feng Mulan didn't care about these. She lifted the carriage curtain, stared at Jia Yu and asked:

"Is there any news from the barbarians?"

She only cares about the sungrass.

Jia Yu's face was solemn: "In reply to the Crown Prince's concubine, the Barbarian Khan killed our messenger and threatened that he would not give the Fiery Sun Grass to His Royal Highness even if it was destroyed."

"How brave!"

Feng Mulan raised her eyebrows, a murderous look appeared on her face, and she said coldly, "From now on, I will lead the army to flatten their grasslands and make them pay for it."

Chu Ning's face also looked a little ugly.

When two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys. He just sent someone to deliver a letter, but the other side did not even let his messenger go.

These barbarians are really barbaric and unreasonable.

However, now is not the time to settle accounts with the other party. He must first capture the capital of Qin and destroy Qin before planning for the follow-up.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Remember this account first, let's take over the capital of Qin first."

"Pass the order, all troops should speed up and rush to Yangcheng."

At the order, the entire army accelerated forward.

A few days later, at the east gate of Yangcheng.

The blood-red setting sun shone over the mottled walls of Yangcheng. Chu Ning stood on his black-armored horse in front of a formation of 100,000 cavalrymen, with a strange look on his thin face.

All the black dragon flags that were supposed to be flying on the top of the city were removed, leaving only the twelve copper-clad city gates burst open, revealing a crowd kneeling on the bluestone imperial road in the inner city.

"Kneel down to welcome the Crown Prince of Chu"

The trembling "yes" of the ceremonial officer pierced the silence, and the Qin Crown Prince Ying Hai, wearing plain clothes and with his hair loose, walked out on his knees from the shadow of the city gate.

The dark brocade robe with dragon pattern was replaced with a coarse linen robe. The nine-tassel crown had been taken off long ago, and bloodstains from the scratch on the forehead were faintly visible among the messy hair.

The seventy-two civil and military officials behind him had their hands tied with hemp ropes, their foreheads pressed against the cold stone bricks. In the copper plate in the arms of the Minister of Rites Wang Jian, was the blood-stained imperial seal.

"I, the sinner Ying Hai, beg for surrender on behalf of the Qin ancestral temple." The young prince's voice, wrapped in the cold March wind, shattered against the city wall.

He suddenly kowtowed heavily, and the hook of his jade belt made a crisp cracking sound when it hit the blue bricks. "Since Duke Xiaowen, my Ying family has been engaged in war for seven generations. In the north, the Great Wall was built, and millions of people died. In the south, the Baiyue were conquered, and nine out of ten households were annihilated. Now the heavens have punished us by forcing us to collect food and fodder after three years of drought and locusts. This is really infuriating to both humans and gods!"

An amused look appeared on Chu Ning's face as he saw Ying Hai trembling as he took out the surrender letter from his arms.

The plain silk was soaked with dark red—Ying Hai bit his index finger and used blood instead of ink to write: “I wish to split the Qin territory into Chu counties and distribute the treasury to relieve the hungry people.

The three hundred and seventy members of the Ying clan are requested to be tied up in the market town to be executed. Ying Hai has now committed suicide to prove his sincerity. I only ask that the Crown Prince of Chu not harm the women and children in Qin. "

Ying Hai surrendered.

This guy did not actively ask for a chance of survival, but instead used this method to beg him to spare the women and children of the Qin Dynasty.

If he agreed, it would be absolutely impossible to kill Ying Hai.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, stared coldly at Ying Hai in front of him, and sneered in his heart.

Just like this, do you think he will give up the idea of killing?
