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

"Impossible, this is impossible, this...how is this possible!"

Unable to comprehend the truth, the Tenth Prince stared at Deng Hongwen and roared, "How could you be Chu Ning's accomplice!"

Originally, he thought that Deng Hongwen defected because he saw that the situation was unfavorable and took the opportunity to threaten him.

But now listening to the conversation between Chu Ning and Deng Hongwen, it is clear that Chu Ning had arranged in advance for Deng Hongwen to be his accomplice.

How could he accept this!

The person I trust the most turns out to be someone else's spy.

Not only did he not know about it, he even promoted Deng Hongwen and left everything to Deng Hongwen.

The Tenth Prince became more and more angry as he thought about it. He stared at Deng Hongwen and said, "Tell me, this is not true!"

Deng Hongwen said indifferently: "Tenth Prince, give up, all this is the plan of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, and I am the Prince of Chu's accomplice!"

This one sentence made the Tenth Prince, who was still struggling, suddenly look as pale as death, and he lost his fighting spirit in an instant.

His legs went weak and he couldn't even stand, so he collapsed to the ground.

The white horse cavalrymen nearby immediately picked him up.

At this moment, the Tenth Prince was like a defeated rooster, dejected and no longer as arrogant as before.

Chu Ning looked at the Tenth Prince's appearance and couldn't help but shake his head: "Come here, take him to the palace and wait for the Emperor to deal with him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Tenth Prince, who had originally looked like he had lost all hope in life, seemed to have thought of something and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"Deng Hongwen, how dare you betray me!"

The tenth prince stared at Deng Hongwen and laughed angrily, "Have you forgotten that your parents are still in my hands? As long as this matter gets out, my people will kill them immediately!

So what if you win? You lost your parents, so you are an unfilial person, hahahaha!"

Everyone knows that Deng Hongwen is famous in Da Chu for his filial piety. If Deng Hongwen's parents died because of Deng Hongwen, it would definitely make Deng Hongwen disheartened and become a useless person.

Thinking that Deng Hongwen would never be able to work for Chu Ning again, the Tenth Prince couldn't help but laugh wildly:

"Eighteenth brother, eighteenth brother, you have wasted your time and effort. In the end, it is nothing but a waste!"

"You are too young to fight with me!"

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled, "Really? But I remember that I sent people to rescue Lord Deng's parents some time ago.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lord Deng's parents will arrive in Kyoto in three days."

As soon as these words were spoken, the arrogant Tenth Prince suddenly felt as if someone had strangled him by the throat, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

It turned out that the self-righteous means of control had long been lifted by Chu Ning.

No wonder Deng Hongwen dared to be an insider, no wonder Deng Hongwen dared to rebel at this time.

It turns out that all this was done with Chu Ning supporting him behind the scenes!

"How...how on earth did you manage to do all this?"

The Tenth Prince was unwilling, his eyes were red, and he stared at Chu Ning and roared, "Why did you arrange for Deng Hongwen to be by my side? Did you doubt me from the beginning?

Also, why do you know that I have controlled Deng Hongwen's parents?"

All of this is a mystery!

But Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Tenth brother, you still want to delay time at this time? Do you really think that the palace can make any progress?"

The tenth prince's face was gloomy: "If you don't tell me, I have a hundred ways to commit suicide. Do you believe it?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "Okay, for the sake of our brotherhood, let's talk while we walk."

After saying this, without waiting for the Tenth Prince to agree, Chu Ning waved his hand and said, "Leave a bunch of people to guard the prisoners, and the rest of you will follow me to the palace to protect me!"

At the command, the white horse cavalry immediately took action, and the Shen family servants on the roof followed.

On the way, the tenth prince's face was grim: "Can I tell you now?"

Chu Ning rode his horse and smiled, "The reason is actually very simple. Myna's death made me realize that there is a force in Kyoto City that cannot be underestimated and is not easy to find.

For this purpose, this king uses the rewards after the imperial examination to make some candidates become his accomplices.

Lord Deng is one of them, but Lord Deng is different from the others. He took the initiative to ask to be an insider.

As for the reason, it's actually very simple, it's because you, Brother Shi, controlled his parents and used them as a threat, so he wanted to be your accomplice. "

These words left the Tenth Prince stunned for a long time.

It turned out that he had done something wrong and he had done more harm than good.

"You mean to say that Lord Deng was not your insider originally, but I controlled his parents, so he became your insider?"

The Tenth Prince asked with a look of disbelief on his face.

Chu Ning nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, I hosted him for a banquet the night you tried to win him over."

The Tenth Prince snorted coldly: "Of course I know about this matter. He rejected you at that time, and according to the information I got, you two didn't talk for too long.

Can you talk about so many things in just a few words? "

Chu Ning laughed: "Sometimes, some things really don't need to be said too much, and when Lord Deng mentioned his parents, this made me understand why he turned to you.

Since Lord Deng's reasons are on your side, I naturally don't mind having an extra accomplice. However, if I want to eliminate Lord Deng's worries, I naturally cannot ignore his parents!

So, after Lord Deng left that night, I sent people to Yangzhou, but I didn’t act immediately to avoid alerting the enemy.”

The Tenth Prince was silent.

It turns out that opening up to someone’s heart only takes a few words.

No matter how well he treated Deng Hongwen, Deng Hongwen was still unwilling to be sincere to him.

He even chose to betray him at the most critical moment!

Thinking of this, the Tenth Prince's eyes turned cold and he turned to look at Deng Hongwen: "Is this true? Then all the things you have done for me are fake?"

Deng Hongwen didn't say anything.

Chu Ning chuckled and said, "Lord Deng did so many things, of course, to gain your trust, otherwise why would you tell him such a big thing as treason?

If Lord Deng had not received the news in advance, I would not have been able to prepare the White Horse Cavalry in advance!

All of this is just a double act between the prince and Lord Deng. Even the prince's imprisonment was intentional, just to make Lord Deng gain your trust!"

The tenth prince was shocked: "Then... the incident with the witness was also done by you on purpose?"

Chu Ning laughed: "Yes, the witness incident was also deliberately made up by Lord Deng, just to make you desperate and take risks in the end!"

Having said this, the Tenth Prince fell completely silent.

It turns out that everything is under Chu Ning's control!

At this time, Ran Ming in front shouted: "Your Highness, the palace is just ahead!"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Send out scouts to get information!"

Although the tenth prince has been captured, the situation in the palace is unclear and we cannot act rashly!
