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

At Chu Ning's command, four generals, Ran Ming, Zhao Yu, Guan Yun and Ma Chao, led their troops to start the liquidation.

The clepsydra water clock pointed to the third quarter of the night when three black iron gates suddenly dropped from the Suzaku Gate in Yangcheng.

Zhao Yu's white horse cavalry broke the silence of the curfew, and the horseshoes splashed blue sparks on the bluestone slabs.

The general, who was known for his "elegance", reined in his horse and stood at the East Market Archway, watching coldly as his personal soldiers broke down the vermilion lacquered door of the residence of the third prince of Qin.

The women were dragged to the courtyard with their hair loose, and the crying of the babies in their swaddling clothes suddenly stopped - Zhao Yu's spear was pressed against the side of the neck of the Third Prince of Qin:

"Where is the scorching sun grass?"

The Third Prince Qin sneered: "My father burned the medicinal fields before he died, so there is no extra Fiery Sun Grass at all."

"In that case, you can die now!"

Along with Zhao Yu's cold snort, the spear flashed, and the head of Prince Qin San flew high into the sky.

"General, what should we do with these people?" asked the personal soldier, looking at the family of Prince Qin San.

Zhao Yu had a blank expression on his face: "Da Qin has caused His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be poisoned. These people deserve to die. Kill them all!"

At the command, the massacre begins!

At the same time, the infantry led by Ran Ming had surrounded the twelve royal palaces in the West Square like an iron barrel.

This bald general with an impatient temper was holding his axe at Princess Rongyang's throat:

"My patience is limited. If you hand over the Fiery Sun Grass, I can ask His Highness to spare your life."

Unexpectedly, Princess Rongyang screamed and gnashed her teeth, "The Fiery Sun Grass is long gone. Besides, I am a princess who married out, so even if there is still Fiery Sun Grass, it will not come into my hands."

Ran Ming was furious when he heard this: "If that's the case, then go die!"

The axe chopped down without any mercy, and cut off all the souls with one blow!

The splattering blood completely enraged Ran Ming's murderous intent, and he immediately roared, "Search for him immediately. If you can't find him, burn the mansion immediately!"

Chu Ning has been very kind to him, and he really wants Chu Ning to recover his strength and no longer suffer from the poison.

In the South Lane, Guan Yun's Modao team set fire to twenty-seven mansions in the south of the city.

This fiery warrior stepped on the back of the prince of Zhenguo and pressed the red-hot iron on the royal tattoo on his back:

"Is there really no Fiery Sun Grass in the altar of your Qin royal family's ancestral temple?"

"Don't think I don't know. Ying Zheng hid a scorching sun grass here."

He finally got the news from the Jinyiwei and couldn't wait to bring people here to search.

Who knew that amid the burning smell, the prince suddenly laughed crazily: "The news you can get, how could this prince not know it?"

"If you want the Fiery Sun Grass, wait until next life!"

Guan Yun's face changed drastically. He chopped open the altar in the ancestral hall, but found that the golden nanmu box containing the flaming sun grass had been replaced with incense ashes from the Taimiao.

"Damn it!"

Guan Yun roared in anger, and swung the long sword in his hand, and the prince's head fell to the ground.

There was still a crazy and complacent smile on his face.

A gloomy look appeared on Guan Yun's ruddy face. "Search immediately. If you can't find it, burn down the Qin's Imperial Ancestral Temple!"

In a rage, Guan Yun didn't care what the Qin Taimiao meant and directly ordered it to be burned.

In the north city, Ma Chao's cavalry was weaving a tight net around the north gate.

Twenty-four cavalrymen wearing bronze masks, holding fragments of the "Qin Palace Pharmacopoeia", searched the library of the Zongzheng Temple inch by inch.

But after searching for a long time, there was still no clue about the Fiery Sun Grass.

Ma Chao was helpless and a little annoyed, so he ordered his cavalry to set fire to the Zongzheng Temple.

At the beginning of the Yin hour, four teams piled 3,796 corpses in Xuanwu Square.

When the first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, the cloaks of the four generals had formed a blood-red curtain on the top of the city.

"General Zhao, have you found the Fiery Sun Grass?" Ran Ming looked at Zhao Yu impatiently and asked.

Zhao Yu shook his head with a sullen face and said nothing.

The atmosphere became quite depressing at this moment.

But Ran Ming did not give up. He turned to Guan Yun and Ma Chao and asked, "Generals, what about you guys?"

Neither of them spoke, just shook their heads.

"Damn it, these people don't even have a single plant of Fiery Sun Grass."

Ran Ming roared in anger, all his energy suddenly exploded, and he punched the city wall hard.

"General Ran Ming, please don't be angry. You should report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first."

Zhao Yu persuaded him and then turned and headed towards the palace.

The other three looked at each other and then followed.

Qin Imperial Palace.

Chu Ning was holding a spear and fighting with Feng Mulan in the yard.

During this period of time, he has not been able to use force, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Now that his health has finally improved, of course he wants to show off his prowess.

Wu Zhao stood aside with her hands behind her back, looking at Chu Ning's majestic figure, and her heart finally settled down.

It seems that what Sun Simiao said was right. As long as Chu Ning does not use all his strength, the remaining poison will not have any effect on Chu Ning for the time being.

Seeing Chu Ning's lively appearance, she already had the intention to leave.

After all, she is the Empress of the Great Zhou, she can't stay here forever.

As long as she was sure that Chu Ning was okay, she had to return to the Zhou Dynasty immediately.

While she was deep in thought, the sound of footsteps outside interrupted her thoughts.

Turning around, I saw Zhao Yu and four others coming together.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Concubine."

"Meet the Queen of Great Zhou!"

The four generals bowed and saluted. Chu Ning then stopped the spear in his hand and said with a smile: "Judging from your appearance, I'm afraid you didn't find the Fiery Sun Grass this time?"

The four generals remained silent.

After a while, Ran Ming couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore and couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, just dispatch 100,000 soldiers to me. I will definitely break through the barbarian defenses, kill their king, capture their Khan alive, and take back the Fiery Sun Grass!"

Since we can’t find the Fiery Sun Grass in the Qin State, we can only look for it in the Tang Dynasty or among the barbarians.

It is obvious that the barbarians are Ran Ming's target.

But Chu Ning laughed when he heard this, threw the spear back onto the weapon rack, and patted Ran Ming on the shoulder:

"Let's put off attacking the barbarians for now. After all, we have just conquered Qin, and it is not appropriate to create a strong enemy at this time."

The Qin State was too big. Although they took this place, they suffered heavy casualties.

More importantly, if you want to govern this place, you need to send people here to take care of it.

He had sent a letter to Di Wenyao by carrier pigeon, ordering him to lead a group of officials to come to Qin immediately.

He could only proceed to the next step after Di Wenyao and other officials arrived and stabilized the situation in Qin.

But Ran Ming was still angry, and asked with a red face: "Your Highness, don't you want to get the Fiery Sun Grass as soon as possible?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "There are only some toxins left in my body now, so there will definitely be no problem in the next few years."

"We still have a lot of time, so we can proceed step by step."

"Alright, you guys go down first to settle the troops and comfort the people. I have important matters to discuss with the Empress."

He knew that the empress would not look for him for no reason.
