In the quiet hall, only traces of a fierce battle remained.

Chu Ning stroked the spear in his hand and remained silent.

Xun Yu straightened his clothes and said calmly, "The Crown Prince of Chu has great means!"

"Now you have used Shen Zhengqing to kill Zhang Qian and Du Ruhui, and even killed a few playboys."

"Next, it should be my turn, right?"

He was well aware of his own situation.

Zhang Qian and Du Ruhui are both dead, so there is no way he can survive.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning glanced at him and suddenly chuckled: "Master Xun, if I remember correctly, your Xun family has a considerable influence in Wei State, right?"

"It is said that there are many people from your Xun family in the Wei court."

Speaking of this, Xun Yu was suddenly excited: "My Xun family is a famous family in Wei State. The ministers in the court have more or less received favors from my Xun family."

"is it?"

Chu Ning suddenly chuckled: "If that's the case, then the end of your Xun family has come."

In the surprised eyes of Xun Yu, Chu Ning smiled and explained: "I received news that Sima Yi took advantage of your absence from Wei to purge the court."

Putting down the spear in his hand, he suddenly approached Xun Yu and asked, "With your ability, Lord Xun, I believe you should be able to guess what Sima Yi's purpose is, right?"

Xun Yu, who had been calm at first, suddenly looked unhappy.

He had worked with Sima Yi for such a long time that he naturally understood what kind of person Sima Yi was.

But in front of Chu Ning, he didn't want to admit his failure.

"Humph, stop talking nonsense!"

Xun Yu sneered, "You just want to humiliate me before I die. If you want to kill me, just do it. Why torture me like this?"

In Xun Yu's mind, Chu Ning was already an unforgivable person and he was not willing to talk to him at all.

At this moment, he just wanted to die as soon as possible!

"Torture?"

Chu Ning suddenly chuckled: "I don't have the habit of torturing people."

Xun Yu's mouth twitched.

If he hadn't just seen with his own eyes how Chu Ning drove Shen Zhengqing crazy, he might have actually believed it.

But after seeing Chu Ning's methods with his own eyes, he felt that he was no match for Chu Ning.

Rather than continue playing tricks on Chu Ning, he would rather die at Chu Ning's hands early.

At least he could preserve his reputation.

"okay!"

Xun Yu snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice,

"I don't want to see your arrogant face that plays with everyone!"

"It's getting dark now, it's time to set out, why not order me to be executed as soon as possible!"

He wanted nothing more than to die.

But the more he did this, the more interested Chu Ning became.

He looked Xun Yu up and down and nodded slightly: "You still have some backbone, and you are worthy of the reputation of your Xun family."

"But, haven't you ever thought about the people of Wei?"

"If one day I conquer the Kingdom of Wei, these people will be left without protection and will surely suffer."

"Of course, if Lord Xun is willing to submit to me, I can let you govern the State of Wei."

Yes, Chu Ning wanted to conquer Xun Yu.

Whether it was prestige, talent, or backbone, he saw it all in Xun Yu.

It would be a pity to kill such a talented person.

The best way is to conquer this person.

In this way, the Wei delegation would be in name only, and when Wei was conquered in the future, Xun Yu would be able to come forward to govern Wei.

Kill two birds with one stone.

But Xun Yu was stunned at first, then laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, so this is what the Crown Prince of Chu was thinking!"

"But unfortunately, you have the wrong person. I am not a coward."

"No one can die without a scar. I have lived for decades and have had enough."

Faced with Chu Ning's recruitment, Xun Yu refused without thinking.

It is not only for the sake of preserving reputation, but also for the Xun family.

If he surrendered to the State of Chu, Sima Yi would never let his family go.

The bronze beast furnace in the East Palace Hall was emitting ambergris. Chu Ning looked indifferent as he watched the candlelight cast a flickering shadow on Xun Yu's face.

"Zhao Yu, bring the things in!"

After saying this, Zhao Yu came into the hall holding a piece of broken jade in his hand.

The iron chains on Xun Yu's body made a harsh sound as they dragged on the gilded floor tiles. His eyes were fixed on the broken jade in Zhao Yu's palm.

"Does this look familiar?"

Chu Ning suddenly spoke, causing the red sand in the gilded clepsydra in the corner of the hall to flow faster.

Xun Yu's hunched back suddenly straightened, and the iron chain hit the ground, making a hissing sound like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue.

On the blood-stained jade fragment, there was clearly an image of two fish holding a pearl that he had designed personally for his young grandson.

As the lights in the hall flickered, Xun Yu rushed towards Zhao Yu like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food, roaring, "Where did this thing come from!"

Zhao Yu stood where he was, letting Xun Yu snatch the broken jade, and said calmly: "This item was obtained from your young grandson.

"However, he has now been captured by Sima Yi and thrown into the Wei prison, never to see the light of day!"

Zhao Yu handed over the news from the Jinyiwei at the right time.

After reading it, Xun Yu was stunned.

Chu Ning took the opportunity to speak: "Sima, the King of Gaoling, tied the hair of the women in your family to the ponytail and dragged them from the Suzaku Gate of Yecheng to the Xuanwu Gate, just to get something that would be disadvantageous to you."

"Also, most of the men in your Xun family were killed because they were unwilling to identify your crimes before you returned!"

Xun Yu's face suddenly turned pale.

When Chu Ning leaned forward, the tassels of the jade crown swept across Xun Yu's distorted face: "Do you want to know what your son said before he was executed?"

Thunder roared outside the palace and heavy rain washed the glazed tiles.

Xun Yu stared at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning said calmly, "He said he wants you to avenge him!"

Xun Yu, who was already furious, immediately let out a wolf-like oath: "Sima Yi, you bastard, I will dig out his eyeballs with my own hands and use them as wine."

After he finished speaking, he kneeled down suddenly, ignoring the chains on his body, tightly grasping the broken jade and kowtowed:

"I am willing to surrender to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu, and I only ask that His Royal Highness allow me to kill Sima Yi with my own hands!"

Most of the family members were killed, even the son was killed by Sima Yi. One can imagine the fate of the women.

He did not blame Chu Ning for not helping, because Chu Ning's power was not enough to save people in Wei.

He only hated that Sima Yi was too cunning and took advantage of his diplomatic mission to the State of Chu to attack him. It was simply despicable and shameless.

He is also very himself.

I hate myself for misjudging people.

Why did he still trust Sima Yi when he knew that he was cunning?

Now a disaster has occurred, and he is the culprit!

He wants revenge!

He wants to massacre the Sima family!

He wants Sima Yi to pay for his blood debt with blood!

Chu Ning was not surprised by Xun Yu's behavior and said calmly: "You can take revenge, but I am recruiting soldiers recently and cannot attack Wei at the moment."

"How about this, I appoint you as the Chief Censor, ranking in the cabinet, and you will be responsible for recruiting soldiers and buying horses."

"When I conquer Wei, you will follow me. After I conquer Wei, Sima Yi will be in your hands."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xun Yu held the broken jade tightly in his hand, the seeds of hatred spreading in his heart.

After dealing with this matter, Chu Ning returned to the back hall.

Next, he faced Shen Wanying.
