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

"Settling accounts?"

The prince pretended not to understand and frowned, saying, "I don't know what you are talking about, Eighteenth Brother!"

"is it?"

Chu Ning grinned, his eyes like torches, staring at the prince and chuckled, "It seems that I need to remind you brothers so that you can remember what you have done.

During the few days when I was injured and there was no news, you not only attacked the facial mask business of Prince Chu's Mansion, but also sent people to rob the Shen family's food.

Shouldn't I ask you brothers to pay back the losses I suffered?"

Such blunt words made the prince and others change their expressions slightly.

This guy came straight to the point. Could it be that he had already caught me?

The Crown Prince and the other princes looked at each other, with a look of worry on their faces.

If Chu Ning really caught me, things would be troublesome. Given Chu Ning's character, he would definitely not let me go.

When everyone was worried, the second prince's eyes turned and he said righteously: "What do you mean by saying this, Eighteenth Brother? Do you suspect that we did something to the Chu Palace and the Shen family?

During the time when there was no news about your assassination, we have been worried about you. Now your words really make me sad."

Anyway, Chu Ning didn't produce any evidence, so how could I admit to such a thing!

You want to ask me to return the food without any evidence?

There are no doors!

Although you, Chu Ning, swore so confidently, my people are always cautious and it is impossible for them to leave any evidence.

Even if you, Chu Ning, talk your throat out, I will never admit it on my own initiative!

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pretended to be sad and agreed, "Second brother is right. We have been worried about Eighteenth Brother for a long time. I didn't expect that he would doubt us just when his injury got better."

The princes reacted immediately.

We can’t let Chu Ning gain the upper hand!

For a moment, everyone agreed and even accused Chu Ning of doubting them.

When Ran Ming saw someone accusing Chu Ning, he immediately glared and shouted angrily: "What are you arguing about!"

The sound was like a loud bell, resounding through the sky, shocking the unprepared princes and making their faces change drastically. The war horses under their crotches were frightened and kept neighing in agitation.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

The surrounding soldiers hurriedly calmed their horses, fearing that the high-ranking princes would fall off their horses and get injured.

It took a long time for the warhorse to calm down.

Chu Ning leaned on Shen Wanying's soft body, looking at the princes who had settled down in front of him leisurely, with an amusement look on his face.

But the prince also reacted, a trace of anger appeared on his face, and he stared at Ran Ming and shouted:

"How dare you disturb my carriage! Come, arrest him!"

If Chu Ning wants to cause trouble for me, then I will strike first!

At the command, the guards of the East Palace were ready to take action.

Seeing this, the Second Prince and others echoed: "This is outrageous. How dare a mere general be so arrogant and arrest him!"

The princes' troops immediately rushed forward.

Ran Ming grinned, with a ferocious look on his face: "Come on, come on, I'm worried that I won't be able to perform any meritorious deeds tonight, I'll kill as many as you come!

White Horse Cavalry, prepare to charge, kill them all! "

At the command, the white horse cavalrymen holding spears immediately pulled the reins and were about to charge, and a powerful momentum rose into the air.

This scene made the prince's face change drastically.

Although my guards are quite powerful, infantry has no chance of winning against cavalry.

The prince narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Ning coldly and said, "Eighteenth brother, are you going to let your subordinates do whatever they want?"

"mess?"

Chu Ning looked innocent: "I don't think they are doing anything reckless. It was you, the Crown Prince, who ordered the attack first. At best, they are just fighting back in self-defense."

"you……"

The prince's mouth twitched, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.

The prince felt very uncomfortable with this situation where he couldn't stand Chu Ning but couldn't get rid of him.

"okay!"

Chu Ning's face straightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Crown Prince just wanted to distract me with this matter, but do you really think that I don't have evidence for what you did to the Chu Palace and the Shen family?

I wanted you to pay compensation and we could settle it privately, but since you brothers refuse to admit it, I can only ask my father to judge the matter."

After that, Chu Ning ordered: "Return to the city!"

Shen Wanying lowered the curtain of the carriage, blocking the sight of both sides, and the white horse cavalry began to escort Chu Ning into the city.

The prince looked a little unhappy.

Although he felt that his men were doing things perfectly and would not leave any evidence, he could not guarantee that Chu Ning really did not have any clues.

If this matter really gets to my father, it will be difficult to resolve it.

Not to mention that the Chu Palace has a different status now, the Shen Palace alone is enough to make me suffer.

Thinking of this, the prince turned to look at the other princes with a questioning look on his face.

The faces of the princes were filled with hesitation and worry.

They all felt that they had done it perfectly and left no evidence, but they didn't dare to take the risk.

What if Chu Ning has evidence?

Once the bet is lost and the matter is reported to my father, the situation will be different.

Some things can be done in private, but they must never be put on the table.

Once the window paper was broken, the emperor could only act according to the law.

Watching Chu Ning's convoy passing by, the princes all had gloomy faces and heavy moods.

Every time someone passed by, they felt as if their hearts were being run over.

Seeing that half of the team had passed, the princes began to get anxious.

The second prince had a gloomy face and asked in a cold voice: "Are we going to let him go back to the city just like this?"

The fourth prince frowned and said, "Why, do you still want to fight, second brother? Although we have more people, he has cavalry. If we really fight, we are no match for him."

Even the usually quiet Eighth Prince narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Eighteenth Brother is so confident, maybe he really has evidence in his hands."

After these words were spoken, the princes became even more nervous.

The prince hesitated for a moment and snorted coldly: "We must make a decision, whether to take advantage of the opportunity to kill him, or to compromise and make compensation."

The princes looked at each other again and then nodded to each other.

There is no chance of success if they take action, and once the matter is exposed, the crime of murdering the prince will be enough to ruin their reputation.

The Second Prince made a prompt decision and shouted to Chu Ning in the carriage, "Eighteenth Brother, wait!"

Chu Ning in the carriage raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of amusement.

Shen Wanying understood what Chu Ning meant and immediately ordered the carriage to stop.

As the carriage curtain was lifted, Chu Ning's smiling face turned into a serious look.

"What do you think, second brother?"

The second prince pretended to be calm and said, "My eighteenth brother has made great contributions in the expedition to Dunhuang County. The Chu Palace and the Shen family are in trouble. As a brother, I cannot ignore it!

How about this, I have 500,000 dan of grain to give to you, Eighteenth Brother, as a reward for your efforts in persuading the Great Zhou troops to retreat from the front line this time!"

Why is it 500,000 dan of grain?

Because this is what he got from the Shen family.

However, Chu Ning shook his head upon hearing this and said calmly: "Not enough!"

How much is stolen and how much is compensated?

There are no doors!

The second prince's face changed slightly, and he thought to himself that he had been fooled.

This kid is asking for too much!
