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

"Damn Chu Ning!"

The central military tent outside the city.

When Li Long returned to the camp, he was so angry that he kicked over the table, and everything on the table fell to the ground.

Yan Yucheng, who was standing aside, had a gloomy face at the moment and said in a cold voice: "King Liang, calm down and don't be angered by this man.

He deliberately used those corpses to lure us out to check, and then provoked us with words. "

Li Long took a deep breath and a fierce look appeared on his face: "When the city is captured, I will kill him myself!"

It was so embarrassing in front of thousands of troops. As the leader of the rebels, Li Long felt deeply ashamed.

If he wanted to save his face, the best way was to kill Chu Ning himself.

He deeply agreed with Yan Yucheng's words, and also understood that Chu Ning was provoking him today.

But even though he knew it, he was still very angry.

Seeing Li Long gradually calm down, Yan Yucheng said in a deep voice: "Chu Ning is a man who should not be underestimated!

Although he was born in the common people, incredible things happened to him many times, and he became famous all over the world for defeating the enemy with a small force.

Last night, this man led only 200 cavalrymen and charged straight into our camp, and almost posed a threat to you, King Liang.

With this person in the city, it will be difficult to capture the city."

Although he had never fought with Chu Ning, Yan Yucheng had heard of Chu Ning's deeds.

What's more, what happened last night was right in front of him, and Yan Yucheng was very afraid of Chu Ning.

Li Long snorted coldly: "Now that my army is surrounding the city on all sides, he can't escape from our grasp no matter how capable he is.

Besides, I am not without a trump card. I am just waiting for the right opportunity to attack the city in one fell swoop."

This made Yan Yucheng's heart move, and he quickly asked: "I wonder what clever plan King Liang has?"

Li Long was about to speak when a soldier's voice came from outside the camp: "Your Majesty, there is news from the city."

"Send it up!"

The soldier handed over a letter.

When Li Long took the letter and looked at it, his originally gloomy expression disappeared, replaced by a look of ecstasy.

"Hahahaha, someone sent me a pillow when I felt sleepy!"

Li Long handed the letter to Yan Yucheng, who was standing aside with a look of surprise, and laughed wildly, "General Yan, come and take a look!"

Yan Yucheng took the letter with some doubt, and after reading it, he actually showed excitement.

"I didn't expect Chu Ning to be so arrogant!"

Yan Yucheng laughed and said, "He just came to Luocheng and he dared to kill ministers, destroy noble families, and even confiscate the property and exterminate the entire clan!

This person's tough behavior will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the major families, and it is reasonable for them to unite to oppose him."

After a pause, Yan Yucheng looked at the letter again, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded and said, "Now that all the servants of the aristocratic families have been integrated by this person, this is indeed an opportunity.

We can attack day and night without stopping, leaving the defenders in the city no chance to catch their breath. By then, Chu Ning will surely have the servants of the noble families guarding the city walls. That will be our chance!"

That’s right, the aristocratic families are going to rebel!

This letter was written jointly by the noble families.

They were preparing to join forces with the rebels and the Yan army.

But there is no suitable opportunity now, so Yan Yucheng must create opportunities for them.

"General Yan is absolutely right!"

Li Long said excitedly: "As long as the retainers of the noble families guard the city walls, they will have a chance to open the city gates, and then our army can march straight in!"

Li Long couldn't hold back any longer when he was so excited: "General Yan, what are we waiting for? Let's attack now!"

Yan Yucheng laughed and said, "There is no need to rush. Let the soldiers below have a good meal first, and then launch a surprise attack tonight."

Li Long laughed: "Everything is up to General Yan's wishes!"

The two reached an agreement and then went to prepare.

Their plan was the same as before, with each army responsible for two city gates to avoid unnecessary conflicts between the soldiers of both sides due to unfamiliarity.

At this moment, Chu Ning also left the city wall and came to the palace.

Today, he did many things and killed many people.

Now that night has fallen, I finally have time to spend some quality time with the Empress.

However, before going to meet the empress, he first took a bath and changed his clothes, putting on a white robe, looking very handsome and elegant.

At this moment, Chu Ning had a more royal aristocratic temperament and less murderous aura.

On the way to Lizheng Palace, many maids looked at him sideways.

But Chu Ningke didn't have the energy to waste on these people. At the moment, his mind was only filled with the empress.

Inside the Li Zheng Hall.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the empress's delicate face.

Perhaps because of her pregnancy, the empress is a little rounder than before, with more flesh on her cheeks. She is less majestic and cold, and has a more mature and feminine look.

However, the empress was worried about the situation outside the city and the situation in the court, and a trace of worry appeared on her delicate face.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps interrupted the empress's thoughts.

When I looked up, Chu Ning had already lifted the bead curtain and came in with a bowl of porridge.

"I heard that you have a poor appetite recently, so I asked the cook to make some porridge."

Chu Ning put down the porridge and then helped the empress up from the bed.

The empress was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Chu Ning to have such a considerate side. She was a little dazed for a moment.

Is this still the man who was full of vigor and vitality on the battlefield and would fight at the slightest disagreement?

While he was deep in thought, Chu Ning had already picked up the spoon and fed the porridge to his mouth.

The empress couldn't help but open her mouth.

After swallowing the hot porridge, the empress calmed down a lot and gradually regained her senses. She stared at Chu Ning and said with a playful smile:

"You are not trying to please me with this bowl of porridge, are you? I heard that you went on a killing spree today and killed many ministers and people from aristocratic families?"

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled, "That's just a few people I killed, I still think it's not enough. If this group of people can't be suppressed, there will be no peace in Luo City in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, the empress suddenly covered her stomach and groaned.

Chu Ning's face changed: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing...Nothing, the child kicked me."

Chu Ning laughed: "This child is really naughty, just like me."

As he spoke, he once again handed the spoon to the empress's mouth.

But the empress looked embarrassed, pushed the spoon away with her hand, slowly stood up and said nothing.

Chu Ning frowned.

How could someone with the empress's personality actually be so embarrassed?

Putting down the spoon, Chu Ning walked forward, took her hand, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

The empress sighed softly: "In the past few days, the child has been kicking me frequently. I have read medical books and this is a sign that the baby is about to give birth."

Chu Ning was stunned: "Isn't this a good thing?"

Then, he responded and said with a smile: “Do you think the enemy will attack in the next few days, and are you worried that you will have a baby in the next few days and cannot pay attention to the war outside the city?

Didn’t I tell you that you don’t need to worry about what’s going on outside, I will handle it myself.”

But the empress turned to look at Chu Ning, bit her lip and said, "I am indeed afraid, but I am not afraid of becoming an enemy, but of this child."

In Chu Ning's surprised eyes, the empress slowly said: "Actually, I have never given birth to a child."

These words left Chu Ning dumbfounded.

If she never gave birth to a child, then how did Princess Gaoping come about?
