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

"Your Highness, please don't embarrass me!"

He Peng said in a cold voice, "It's just a trivial matter, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come here in person?"

"It would be fine if Your Highness returns the warhorse, but if you don't, you must think carefully about the consequences!"

The prince did not dare to disobey His Majesty's order and could not leave the palace, so he had to solve the problem himself.

Chu Ning must have captured the prince and prevented him from leaving the palace, so he is so fearless.

But how could I let him have his way?

Those three thousand craftsmen were from the Ministry of Works. If Chu Ning refused at this moment, he would have a reason to transfer the craftsmen back.

They dared to suspend my salary and let my son guard the city gate. I must get my face back!

Chu Ning looked at He Peng, whose expression gradually changed, but a hint of amusement appeared on his face.

What we want is He Peng to be angry!

"It seems that Lord He wants to use those three thousand craftsmen as a threat to force me to hand over the warhorse!"

Chu Ning sighed and pretended to be happy: "The front line is in danger now. I was ordered to go to the front line with the determination to die. I didn't expect that Lord He would hold me back at this moment.

No wonder the situation on the front lines is not favorable. It is because officials like Lord Zhu He are hindering the court, making it impossible for the soldiers on the front lines to even guarantee their pay and food!"

As soon as these words came out, He Peng's face changed drastically.

This bastard actually put the blame for the defeat on the front line on himself in public!

This is trying to kill yourself.

No, we can’t let Chu Ning continue talking!

But at this time, the people watching around began to point and talk.

"No wonder the front line suffered defeat after defeat. It turned out to be due to lack of food and military pay!"

"Look at how Lord He dared to get angry at the Prince of Penglai. It's clear that the officials in the court are no longer afraid of the royal family."

"Yes, they even dare to bully the prince. Maybe they also embezzled the food and military pay!"

"I never thought that the court would be filled with such officials. Our Great Chu is in danger!"

Chu Ning's words were heart-piercing, and the people around him assisted him. Their words were like deadly swords, piercing He Peng's heart!

It was not until this moment that He Peng understood what it meant to be afraid of what people said.

Feng Mulan, who saw this scene on the roof, was stunned.

She couldn't imagine that Chu Ning could put He Peng at a disadvantage with just one sentence.

A pair of handsome eyebrows showed a bewildered look, and he turned to look at his friend and asked, "How could this happen?"

Shen Wanying's eyebrows revealed a strange look, staring at Chu Ning who was not panicking at all, and whispered: "He was prepared!"

She pointed her slender jade finger at the people around her: "See? These people must have been brought here by Chu Ning in advance. From the very beginning, Lord He fell into Chu Ning's calculations."

If you say this to others, they will definitely change their opinion of Chu Ning.

But Feng Mulan was born stubborn, and her preconceived notions made her feel bad about Chu Ning.

"Impossible! How could a common-born illegitimate child like him have such wisdom?"

Feng Mulan pouted: "I don't believe that he arranged these people in advance!"

Shen Wanying chuckled and shook her head, too lazy to explain.

Others couldn't see it, but she discovered the clue.

Among the crowd around, there were several people who were tall and full of murderous aura, and they looked like they had been on the battlefield.

I guess these people are the group of veterans around Chu Ning!

Chu Ning came prepared this time, and He Peng was afraid that he would be in trouble today.

Maybe even the prince won't be spared!

While deep in thought, He Peng realized that his situation was not good and the people around him began to attack him.

This is clearly Chu Ning's evil plot.

"Shut up, everyone, shut up!"

He Peng's eyes turned cold, and his murderous intent surged. He turned around and roared at everyone, "I am talking to His Highness. Anyone who dares to speak too much will be arrested immediately!"

The guards of the Eastern Palace drew their swords one after another. Amid the clanging sounds, the swords shone with a cold light, which frightened the surrounding people and made them retreat one after another.

Chu Ning frowned, took the initiative to walk in front of the people, and used his body to block the knife in the hands of the East Palace guards.

"Sir He, these are the people of Kyoto City. Why are you taking your anger out on them because of me? If you have anything to say, come to me!"

This bastard is actually trying to buy people's hearts.

He Peng's face turned pale.

If he continued to scold him at this moment, he would definitely bring bad luck to the prince.

"Your Highness, you are too polite. Just return the warhorse of His Highness the Crown Prince to me, and I will return to report immediately!"

He Peng said coldly: "Today's incident was entirely caused by His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Who doesn't know how to pass on the blame?

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "Master He, I dare not agree with what you said. I said at the beginning that the warhorse can be returned to the prince, as long as the prince comes in person.

It was you, Lord He, who threatened with words, which made the people around you angry.

Forget it, since you are willing to be flexible, I will personally go to the palace to ask for forgiveness from my brother, the Crown Prince. Is that ok?"

He Peng narrowed his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.

Go to the palace in person to plead guilty?

This doesn't fit Chu Ning's character.

This guy is not one to suffer losses.

No, Chu Ning can’t be allowed to go to the palace!

However, if Chu Ning was not allowed to go to the palace, the situation would remain deadlocked.

Judging from Chu Ning’s attitude, he will definitely not let himself take these war horses away.

While he was deep in thought, Guan Yun came over with his men and war horses.

The sound of horse hooves prompted the surrounding people to make way.

Chu Ning did not give He Peng time to react, and said in a deep voice: "I have already taken out the warhorse and shown my sincerity. Lord He can't continue to embarrass me, right?

This warhorse is a gift from the Crown Prince to me. Even if I want to return it, I should talk to the Crown Prince in person!

You are not qualified! "

To be arrogant, one must have the capital to be arrogant. Although the Minister of Works is a second-rank official, his status is not enough in front of the prince!

He Peng's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Chu Ning's move was truly heartbreaking.

On the surface, Chu Ning has made concessions and agreed to return the warhorse. If he does not agree, the responsibility will be on him.

But he knew that something bad would happen if Chu Ning went to the palace to see the prince, and he was helpless.

I want to refuse, but I am worried that I will not be able to complete the task assigned by the prince.

If I agree to it, I'm afraid Chu Ning will cause trouble in the East Palace.

When He Peng was in a dilemma, Chu Ning's patience seemed to be exhausted and impatience appeared on his face.

"Since Lord He can't make the decision, then follow what I say!"

Chu Ning turned to look at Guan Yun and said in a cold voice: "I am going to the palace to see the prince. Before I come back, no one can take this warhorse away. Anyone who disobeys this order will be punished for destroying military supplies and will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

Guan Yun saluted, his face full of murderous intent, and said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, whoever dares to attack, I will stop him even if I risk my life!"

As he spoke, a pair of cold eyes stared at He Peng, and that murderous look made He Peng feel cold on his back.

At this time, Zhao Yu and three other people carried a sedan chair over.

Chu Ning got on the sedan chair and headed straight for the palace.

Since the prince has attacked him, he must fight back!

He must also deal with He Peng, lest this man ruin his plans!
