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

"If Your Highness wants to find some servants, I can post a recruitment notice tomorrow."

Guan Yun and Zhao Yu looked at each other and took the initiative to make suggestions.

The house is so big that it is impossible for just the two of them to take care of everything.

How can such a huge prince's mansion survive without maids and servants?

Chu Ning shook his head: "I want protection. Going to the front line, there are many dangers. If I can't even guarantee my own safety, how can I defeat the enemy?"

Guan Yun and Zhao Yu fell silent.

His Royal Highness the Prince has been serving the country at great risk to his life. If there is no one to protect him, he will surely die!

Although the chances of winning this battle are slim, His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to go to the front line for the country as a prince. He does it even though he knows it is impossible and he goes to the battlefield without hesitation even though he knows there is no return!

If people of royal blood can do this, how can they refuse?

Guan Yun's face straightened, he cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the Prince of the County is very understanding of justice. Guan Yun is willing to serve the country with Your Highness!"

"If Your Highness does not mind, Guan is willing to gather those brothers from the past to serve Your Highness!"

Serving Chu Ning means serving the country.

In the battle that year, the Great Chu was defeated and only a few hundred people returned. However, they were reviled and most of them retired eventually. Only he and Zhao Yu were recruited into the imperial guards because of their outstanding martial arts.

But the shame of the First World War has always been lingering in their hearts.

They really want to go to the front line again to avenge their previous humiliation, even if it means they will be stained with blood and die on the battlefield!

Zhao Yu also knelt on one knee at this moment, and said with a serious face: "Your Highness disregards your personal safety. I am deeply moved and am willing to follow Your Highness to the front line!"

The prince is not afraid of life or death, so what does he have to be afraid of?

The worst case scenario is death!

As a soldier, dying on the battlefield is the highest honor!

Chu Ning reached out and helped the two of them up: "You two don't have to do this, go and notify the others to come here tomorrow morning. Starting tomorrow, they will be my guards!"

Guan Yun was stunned: "Don't you need to meet them before making a decision, Your Highness?"

"Need not!"

Chu Ning waved his hand and smiled: "I believe in you, and I also believe in your brothers."

After saying that, Chu Ning turned around and went back to his room to rest.

Guan Yun and Zhao Yu were deeply moved.

Just because he trusted them, Chu Ning recruited the two of them as his brothers. Just because of this trust, they decided to choose Chu Ning.

"Your Highness is truly a man of character!"

"We must not let His Highness down. Go and inform the others!"

The two were not talkative people, so after discussing it, they notified the other brothers overnight.

An hour later, inside the palace.

The emperor was looking at the green card, wondering which concubine would sleep with him tonight.

At this time, the shadow guard came quietly to report: "Your Majesty, Guan Yun and Zhao Yu are gathering their old subordinates!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and a gleam of light that was unnoticed flashed in his eyes that looked down upon the world.

"Calling the old subordinates? What do these two want to do?"

His mood of selecting a concubine to sleep with him suddenly disappeared, and he put the sign back into the tray.

The shadow guard lowered his head and whispered, "Zhao Yu sent a message saying that the Prince of Penglai wants to form a guard team to deal with the crisis on the front line."

Guards?

This guy Chu Ning either doesn't know or is pretending not to know that going to the front line is a life-threatening situation. Even with a guard team, it will only add dozens of deaths.

It would be better to refuse to go to the front line than to form a guard team.

Thinking of Chu Ning's face that was somewhat similar to his own, the emperor couldn't help but feel touched.

He didn't even raise Chu Ning, and now he wants Chu Ning to die!

"Oh, never mind. It's just a guard. Let him be."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "He can recruit as many as he can."

Anyway, they are going to the front line to die, so no one would be willing to be Chu Ning's bodyguard.

However, the shadow guard hesitated when he heard this.

The emperor frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it!"

The shadow guard reminded carefully: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Penglai has offended all the princes this time, I'm afraid some people will be resentful."

The emperor's face was gloomy. "If you want to stop even such a small matter, how can you be worthy of being my prince? I want to see who dares to stop it!

Please pay close attention to this matter and report directly if there is anything."

"Yes!" The shadow guard responded and turned to leave.

At this time, the chief eunuch Zhao Ming stepped forward and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to turn over the cards."

The emperor glanced at the green card on the tray, and for some reason he thought of the green tea that Chu Ning gave him.

My son is about to go to the front line to die, but I want to have fun in the harem?

"Take all of these away, and don't allow Chu Ning to take them before he goes to war!"

Your Majesty has changed his personality?

Zhao Ming was stunned, but didn't dare to say anything more. He could only carry the tray down.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, laughter was heard outside the Penglai County Prince's mansion, and Chu Ning, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened.

After getting dressed and going out into the yard, I saw about thirty people talking to each other, their faces filled with joy of reunion after a long separation.

These people are all tall and sturdy in appearance, and they exude a murderous aura!

Like Guan Yun and Zhao Yu, they are soldiers who have returned from the front lines!

He is a veteran of Da Chu!

Guan Yun spotted Chu Ning and immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Everyone stopped talking and turned to Chu Ning, bowing and saying, "Greetings to the Prince of Penglai!"

Chu Ning nodded, looked around at everyone, and suddenly bowed to everyone.

The prince saluted and everyone was stunned.

Although Chu Ning is about to go to the front line as a scapegoat, he is a prince after all, and a prince of a county.

It is a great honor for such a person to salute them.

"Your Highness, please don't embarrass us!" Zhao Yu quickly returned the greeting.

Everyone followed Zhao Yu and returned the greeting.

Chu Ning reached out his hand to appease Zhao Yu, and said with a serious face: "You have all fought for our Chu country and risked your lives. This gift is my respect for you!"

"During this crisis on the front line, you are all able to step forward at this moment. You all deserve this gift!"

"Although I, Chu Ning, don't have much ability, I am willing to serve the country. From now on, I, Chu Ning, will never treat you unfairly as long as I have something to eat!"

The veterans' eyes suddenly filled with tears.

Although they survived the battle, they felt guilty every time they thought of their brothers who died in the battle.

Coupled with the people's lack of understanding of them, they have been ridiculed and mocked over the years.

But today, Prince Chu Ning vindicated them!

They can go to the battlefield!

This time, they must take back the glory that belongs to them.

Even if I die on the battlefield, I would not care.

"We are willing to follow His Royal Highness the Prince until death!"

Although he knew that Chu Ning had no power and could not bring them wealth and glory, he also knew that going to the front line this time would be a life-threatening situation.

But none of them regretted it!

Because they are veterans, veterans of the Chu State.

This trip is not only to protect Chu Ning, but also to clear my name.

Chu Ning looked at the excited crowd with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Although there are only more than 30 people, but a little can add up to a lot.

"Now that you are my guards, I will not treat you unfairly. My brother has gifted me two blacksmith shops. Please follow me and forge some weapons!"

Chu Ning waved his hand and led everyone to the blacksmith shop.
