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

Chu Ning gave an order and the corpses made way!

Suddenly, the people blocking the streets were shocked.

Seeing the bodies being pushed in by the soldiers on wheelbarrows, all the people were stunned.

Chu Ning rode his horse and led the cavalry to the scene. He stood on his horse with cold eyes flashing with a chilling light.

"I am Chu Ning, the prince of Great Chu. I have been invited by the Empress to come and help Great Zhou!"

As soon as Chu Ning opened his mouth, the already quiet scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

He has a handsome appearance, a stern face, and a pair of deep eyes that flash with a faint light that makes people dare not look directly at him.

With just one sentence, he attracted everyone's attention.

Chu Ning was very satisfied with the reactions of the crowd and continued in a cold voice: "The rebels are outside the city now and may attack the city at any time, but some people just don't listen to orders!

Facing a powerful enemy, such an action is clearly helping the enemy. Now these ministers who opposed the king and the wealthy families who refused to obey orders have been killed, and their bodies are here.

From now on, if anyone is like them and dares to question me or disobey my orders, he will be killed without mercy!

Now, I will hang these people's bodies on the city wall as a warning to others.

Anyone who dares to block the road will be charged with aiding the enemy and his entire clan will be punished!"

The murderous words, coupled with his blood-covered appearance, made it difficult for anyone to underestimate him.

But there were also some brave people who hid in the crowd and shouted: "Why should we listen to you? This is the capital of our Great Zhou. How dare you, a Chu countryman, act so presumptuously here?"

As soon as these words came out, a sneer appeared on Chu Ning's lips.

All he wants is for someone to jump out.

How to establish authority without killing people?

How can we deter others if we don’t kill them?

Looking at the person who spoke, Chu Ning pointed with his right hand: "This person questioned me and provoked me in public, kill him!"

Ran Ming grinned, picked up a longbow, pulled out a sharp arrow and put it on the longbow.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow streaked across the sky and headed straight for that person.

"Ah~"

With a scream, the man's head was shot through, and the people around him were so scared that they all dodged away.

"Plop~" the corpse fell to the ground with a loud bang, leaving a large empty space around it.

Chu Ning gave an order with a cold face: "This man is extremely evil, send someone to kill his entire clan immediately!"

"Yes!" A captain responded and immediately took his men down to kill people.

The people around were horrified when they saw this, fearing that they might be associated with the deceased, and they immediately dispersed.

The street, which was originally quite crowded, was empty in less than a quarter of an hour, and no one dared to go out to the street to stop the crowd.

Di Ying's eyes widened when he saw this scene. It was the first time he witnessed how terrifying Chu Ning was.

It is said that severe punishments should be used in troubled times, but he, the prime minister of the Great Zhou, was afraid that it would affect his reputation, so he did not dare to blame the people.

But Chu Ning is different.

As the emperor of Great Chu, there is no need to consider his reputation among the people of Great Zhou.

As long as it doesn't suit his wishes, he will kill!

This move has advantages, but also disadvantages.

The advantage is that it can deter the people for a short period of time, and there will be no congestion on the city streets in the future.

But the downside is that it ruined the reputation of the imperial court.

There are so many officials, but no one can handle this matter. Instead, an outsider is asked to handle it. This will make the people distrust the court.

However, now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we cannot care about so many things. As long as we can open up the streets in the city, we can deal with the upcoming fierce battle.

While deep in thought, Di Ying and a group of officials accompanied Chu Ning and escorted the corpse to the city wall.

Ran Ming, regardless of his own status, carried two corpses, one on the left and one on the right, and hung them on the city wall.

In a short while, rows of corpses were hung on the city wall.

This scene naturally attracted the attention of the rebels outside the city, and they immediately reported the matter.

Li Long, who was discussing the next course of action with Yan Yucheng, the general of the Yan army, immediately came with a team of soldiers to check it out upon hearing the news.

"Xu~"

They rode their horses to within an arrow's reach of the city. They stopped their horses and looked up. They saw rows of corpses hanging on the city wall.

Li Long frowned: "What does Chu Ning mean?"

After the defeat last night, he received news from an insider in the city and learned that it was Chu Ning who brought people to support him.

Now seeing so many corpses hanging on the city wall, it’s obvious that it was Chu Ning who did it.

Yan Yucheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed across his eyes: "Chu Ning is a cruel person. He killed so many people at once. Could it be that he wanted to intimidate the officials and wealthy families in the city?"

While the two were talking, Chu Ning appeared on the city wall, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring at the two men closely.

"I guess you are King of Liang Li Long and General Yan Yucheng of the State of Yan?" Chu Ning asked with a sneer.

A hint of hatred flashed across Li Long's lips: "Chun Ning, why don't you stay in Chu and be a prince? Why come to my Great Zhou?"

Chu Ning grinned: "I received a letter from the empress asking for help, why can't I come here?"

"Just you?"

Li Long's face was full of sarcasm: "You are just a young boy, how dare you interfere in such matters?"

Chu Ning was not afraid of ridicule at all, and smiled contemptuously: "I only brought two hundred people last night and killed you to pieces, and you still have the nerve to bark in front of the two armies?

If I were you, I would swallow my pride and cut myself off from the battlefield to comfort the heroic souls who died in the battle."

"You...you are bold!"

Li Long didn't expect Chu Ning to be so eloquent. He was so angry that he trembled all over: "You ignorant boy, you dare to shout at me?"

Chu Ning sneered: "I am the prince of Chu State. I have defeated Zhao State's army of 200,000 with a small force several times!

Now your rebel army plus the Yan army only has a few hundred thousand soldiers, so I don't take them seriously.

You said that I was shouting? Humph, you are just a traitor king, how dare you be so arrogant in front of me?

You rebelled against the empress, but you are nothing but a dog with a broken spine. As a dog, you should hide your head and tail and just try to get food and clothing!

You, a traitor, have never done anything in your life. You only rely on your age and seniority to bully others and help them to do evil. I have never seen such a shameless person before!"

The righteous words made the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty behind him full of vigor. They raised their weapons and roared:

"Shameless person!"

"Shameless person!"

"Shameless person!"

With every shout, the momentum grows.

The morale of the Great Zhou army reached its peak at this moment!

Outside the city, Li Long was so angry that he clenched his hands, trembled all over, and wished he could eat Chu Ning alive.

But Chu Ning didn't give him a chance. He waved his right hand and said coldly, "Archer, release your arrows!"

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" A row of sharp arrows whizzed out.

"retreat!"

Li Long's face changed drastically, and he immediately led his men to retreat in a hurry.

Seeing the rebels running away like a dog with its tail between its legs, the morale of the Great Zhou soldiers on the city wall soared.

This scene shocked Zhou Dynasty officials such as Di Ying and Xue Huaide.

They didn't expect Chu Ning would use this method to boost morale!

However, they also understood that given Li Long's temper, he would never let this matter go.

The opponent's attack will come soon.

The real crisis is coming!
