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

Time passed with the rhythmic rocking of the carriage.

Zhao Yu, who retreated two hundred feet, looked worried and looked towards the carriage from time to time.

But the distance of two hundred feet was too far, and it was impossible to see what was happening on the other side of the carriage.

But Chu Ning did not call for help, so Zhao Yu could only ride his horse back and forth in the same place to eliminate the uneasiness in his heart.

Half an hour later, the white horse cavalryman at the side couldn't help but ask:

"General Zhao, it's been so long, why is there still no news from His Highness? Should we go over and take a look?"

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows, a trace of anger appeared on his stern face, and he scolded: "Without your highness's order, no one is allowed to go!"

The White Horse Cavalry bowed and retreated, not daring to say anything more.

On the other hand, the dozen or so Great Zhou soldiers responsible for protecting the empress did not dare to act rashly.

Although they didn't know what the two men were talking about on the other side of the carriage, at least the Chu cavalry did not take any action, which made them feel a lot more relieved.

And they also knew that Chu Ning, as an illegitimate child, had never learned martial arts since childhood. Although he had recently started practicing martial arts, his martial arts skills were not very high.

In a one-on-one situation, their general will definitely have the upper hand.

Since the Chu cavalry were not nervous, they were certainly less nervous.

The shaking of the carriage lasted for a full hour.

After the clouds and rain stopped, Wu Zhao put on her clothes with an expressionless face.

Inside the carriage, Chu Ning was lying in dishevel, with a helpless look on his face.

People always say that men are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty. The latter statement has not been verified and I don’t know whether it is true or not, but today I have truly witnessed the power of the former statement.

One hour, a whole hour!

The empress never stops!

With my physique, I am no match for him.

Not to mention holding on for an hour, you'd have already lost after just a quarter of an hour.

But the Empress just doesn’t want to let me go, and continues to attack me madly, draining me dry.

Revenge, this is obviously revenge!

I only took advantage of her weakness to have sex with her a few times, and she wants me to return all of that to you within an hour.

What a crime!

Chu Ning felt secretly bitter.

It would be fine if I lost, but 50% of the profits from the facial mask business were gone.

It hurts!

That's all silver!

Since my debut, I have never suffered such a big loss!

Chu Ning became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it, and he lay in the carriage and didn't want to get up.

Wu Zhao, who was dressed neatly, sneered at Chu Ning and said, "Why, you are not convinced?"

Chu Ning had a blank expression on his face: "I am willing to accept the loss. I have nothing to be dissatisfied with. But I didn't expect that the dignified Queen of the Great Zhou would use this method to bet with me."

The empress sneered, "I know you well, and I understand that you must be sure of what you are doing before you do it. If I bet with you in other ways, you will definitely not agree.

Besides, do you think I will let go of what happened yesterday? Humph, you just took advantage of my discomfort to gain the upper hand.

Today, not only will I make you lose, but I will also make you understand that your level of skills is not good enough in front of me!"

Chu Ning's mouth twitched and he was completely speechless.

Not only do you kill people, you also destroy their hearts.

How can you say that a man is incompetent in front of him? Don’t you have any dignity?

Seeing Chu Ning didn't say anything, Wu Zhao stretched out her hand to pull open the curtain and said indifferently: "You can leave now. Remember to give me the silver on time every month, otherwise the alliance between you and me will be invalid!"

You took advantage of me and now you want me to leave like this?

Chu Ning rolled his eyes, and simply lay down in the carriage with a splayed face, looking like a rogue: "I have no strength, I can't walk."

Wu Zhao narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Do you want me to throw you out?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "It's up to you. I can't walk anyway."

Good boy, you are acting like a rogue in front of me!

Wu Zhao stared at Chu Ning intently; this guy's rogueness once again refreshed her perception.

Didn't you just lose to me and lose 50% of the profits? Why are you still cheating like a child?

"Humph, if you don't leave, I will!"

Wu Zhao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Chu Ning. She turned around, got out of the carriage, rode Chu Ning's tall warhorse, and left quickly.

Chu Ning, who was in the carriage, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of horse hooves fading away.

It’s not that I don’t want to get up, it’s that I really can’t get up.

The empress who is skilled in kung fu is so powerful that she has been practicing for a whole hour without stopping for a moment. Who can stand this?

Touching his waist, a look of helplessness appeared on Chu Ning's face.

Judging from the situation, I won’t be able to ride horses for the next few days.

At this moment, there were bursts of horse hoof sounds outside, followed by Zhao Yu's voice:

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Just now, Zhao Yu saw Chu Ning's warhorse heading towards the direction of Da Zhou from afar. He became anxious and immediately rode up with his men.

"fine!"

Chu Ning frowned and slowly sat up, holding onto the wall of the carriage. "My horse was ridden away by General Wu Ming. Let's ask someone to drive the carriage."

Now I can’t even walk, let alone ride a horse, so I can only find an excuse to stay in the carriage.

Zhao Yu didn't ask any more questions and immediately asked a cavalryman to get on the carriage.

Afterwards, everyone went towards Dunhuang City.

At the city gate, Cai Xingchao and Ran Ming were waiting anxiously with their men. When they saw Zhao Yu coming back escorting a carriage, everyone was stunned.

Surprised, Chu Ning lifted the carriage curtain, showing his head, and said in a casual manner: "I have already negotiated with General Wu, I believe they have withdrawn their troops now."

Cai Xingchao nodded and bowed respectfully to Chu Ning: "I am already on the city wall, retreating the Great Zhou troops. Thank you very much, Your Highness, the King of Chu."

Chu Ning nodded and smiled, "Lord Cai, there is no need to do this. Dunhuang City will still rely on you to govern in the future. Now that the Great Zhou army has retreated, it is time for me to return to Kyoto City."

Cai Xingchao's heart moved, and he asked, "I wonder when Your Highness plans to leave. I will prepare a farewell banquet for you."

Chu Ning laughed and said, "I will leave tomorrow, so the farewell banquet will be held tonight. However, the name should be changed to a celebration banquet!

Lord Cai and the county soldiers stationed here have made great contributions to the retreat of the Great Zhou army this time. If you had not been stationed here, the Great Zhou army would have most likely marched straight in!

This celebration banquet is also a reward for Lord Cai and all the brothers in the county soldiers."

Cai Xingchao looked at Chu Ning deeply and bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness the King of Chu!"

Upon hearing this, the county soldiers on the city wall shouted, "Thank you, Your Highness the King of Chu!"

At this moment, Ran Ming suddenly came up and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Your Highness, can I drink tonight?"

Chu Ning glared at him and scolded him with a smile: "When did you become an alcoholic?"

Ran Ming laughed awkwardly, touched his bald head, and dared not speak.

But Chu Ning smiled and said, "Forget it. The Great Zhou army has retreated. There is no danger here. You have made a great contribution this time. Since this is a celebration banquet, it's okay to let you drink a lot."

Ran Ming was overjoyed and bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Chu Ning thought for a moment, then turned to Zhao Yu and said with a smile, "General Zhao and the White Horse Cavalry brothers have worked hard these days. Everyone can drink as much as they want tonight!"

Zhao Yu wanted to say something, but Chu Ning interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Okay, this is a celebration banquet, don't be so nervous."

The troops of the Great Zhou have all left. Dunhuang City is very safe and there will be no danger.
