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

"What are we doing?"

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of amusement. He picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. He said calmly: "We don't have to do anything next. Just wait and watch the show."

These words made Ran Ming stunned.

"You don't have to do anything? Then how can we find out who is behind this?"

He understood why they didn't go to the Sizhou camp to cause trouble for General Zhou, but he couldn't understand why they didn't have to do anything.

How can we do nothing at such a critical moment?

Chu Ning rolled his eyes at him and said, "Have you forgotten that Wei Kangping and Su Wenguang were arrested? The ones who are anxious now are not us, but our opponents!

The other party will definitely worry that these two people will leak the information and take action. This is the main reason why I want to hand Su Wenguang over to my fourth brother.

Once the other side attacks, they will definitely split their forces. In this way, their strength will be dispersed, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to defeat them."

Ran Ming's eyes lit up: "I understand, I'll go and arrange it right away."

After saying this, he immediately bowed to Chu Ning, turned around and left without caring whether Chu Ning agreed or not.

Chu Ning looked at Ran Ming's departing back and shook his head, too lazy to care about this guy's rudeness.

Looking at the darkening sky, Chu Ning stood up and stretched: "It's getting late, I should go and accompany the princess~"

He never stopped his plan to have a baby.

Wei Kangping has been handed over to Deng Hongwen for interrogation, and the palace also has Ran Ming as a guard, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.

At the same time, in the firewood room of the palace, Wei Kangping was tied to a pillar inside the house.

Deng Hongwen did not torture this man, but instead ordered his people to give him a delicious meal.

After they had enough wine and food, Deng Hongwen said calmly, "General Wei, I heard that you have made great achievements in the army, so His Highness entrusted you with this important task?"

Wei Kangping glanced at Deng Hongwen with disdain on his face: "I am different from people like you who rely on writing to get to the top. Everything I have is earned by my military exploits!"

"is it?"

Deng Hongwen still looked stern: "I have investigated you and know that you are not from an aristocratic family and you don't have any other background. How can someone like you rise to prominence so quickly?"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Kangping's face changed slightly.

He thought that Deng Hongwen would torture him severely, and he also thought that Deng Hongwen would use threats and inducements, but he never thought that this person would investigate his background.

"Humph, in the army, only military achievements matter. I have made great military achievements, so naturally I will be promoted quickly!"

But Deng Hongwen shook his head slightly when he heard this: "I believe you know the situation in the army better than I do. If no one supported you, you would never have come this far."

Wei Kangping fell silent.

He knew that Deng Hongwen had found the key.

Thinking that this man was a top scholar and had done several brilliant things after taking office, he knew that he could not hide the truth from him.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Wei Kangping suddenly looked up and stared at him, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Deng Hongwen was not afraid at all, and looked at him calmly: "You know best what I mean, tell me what you know, and I can give you a quick death.

Now that things have come to this, your whereabouts have been exposed, and you and Su Wenguang are destined to be abandoned. It will be useless for you to persist."

A look of panic flashed across Wei Kangping's face.

There is no one who is not afraid of death, even generals who have fought on the battlefield are no exception.

While thinking, Deng Hongwen continued, "The identity of the person behind you and Su Wenguang's exposure is not difficult to guess, isn't it?"

Wei Kangping did not respond, but the murderous intent on his body and the cold light in his eyes had subsided.

However, Wei Kangping did not give in. Instead, he sneered and said, "Since you have already guessed it, what difference does it make whether I tell you or not?"

It's nothing but death, but Wei Kangping is determined to give it his all!

Rather than betraying the person behind your back, it is better to hold on to the end. Maybe you can even leave a good reputation.

Deng Hongwen shook his head and said coldly: "You really won't cry until you see the coffin. Do you really think that His Royal Highness the King of Chu doesn't know that you and Su Wenguang were promoted by Xiahou Ren?

This time the Xiahou family was destroyed, and you were indignant inside, so you created so many incidents to avenge the Xiahou family.

But you and Su Wenguang are just two reckless men, it is impossible for you to plan such a thing. There must be a master behind you, right?"

As soon as these words came out, a look of disbelief flashed across Wei Kangping's eyes.

Although I knew that Deng Hongwen was powerful, I didn't expect him to be so powerful that he could expose the matter in just a few words.

But he didn't dare to answer!

He knew that Deng Hongwen was trying to induce a confession, and the best way to deal with it at this moment was to shut up!

But even so, Deng Hongwen still saw the answer from Wei Kangping's eyes.

"If you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent."

Deng Hongwen said calmly, "In fact, even if you don't say it, His Majesty will immediately investigate you and Su Wenguang's subordinates if you offend this matter. Your previous arrangements will be in vain."

Although the words were unpleasant to hear, Wei Kangping was a smart man and he knew what Deng Hongwen meant.

Even the soldiers below have been cleared out, and their strength in the city will be greatly reduced. It will be impossible for them to do whatever they want as before.

"Humph, so what even if that's the case? You guys can't understand our strength!"

Wei Kangping looked unconvinced and said coldly: "Just wait, this matter is not over yet!"

Deng Hongwen narrowed his eyes, and a strange color flashed across them.

Although he didn't ask much useful questions, he could tell that the other party had other plans.

"Keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't commit suicide. I want him to see with his own eyes how the man behind this is caught!"

Deng Hongwen gave some instructions and turned to leave.

But at the same time, in the Fourth Prince’s mansion.

Su Wenguang is suffering inhuman torture.

Su Wenguang was stripped naked and covered in blood, with his limbs tied to a wooden stake.

The fourth prince held a long whip in his hand and lashed at him fiercely, cursing angrily, "You bastard, are you going to tell me?"

"Uh……"

Su Wenguang endured the pain in his body, stared at the Fourth Prince, and said word by word: "Don't even think about getting any information from me!"

This sentence completely angered the Fourth Prince, and he increased his strength even more!

"Crack~"

Su Wenguang's skin was torn apart instantly, and blood splattered out as the long whip flew.

Seeing this, Liu Yunqing frowned and quickly advised, "Your Highness, stop fighting. If you continue, he will surely die!"

The angry Fourth Prince roared, "Let him die, he is useless, why keep him around?"

Unexpectedly, Su Wenguang burst into laughter when he heard this: "Hahahaha, fine, fine, in that case, I will use my own death to prevent you from being able to explain to Chu Ning!"

After he finished speaking, the man's eyes widened, and he suddenly bit his tongue to pieces. At the same time, he used his internal energy to shatter the meridians in his body, making it impossible for him to die.

Upon seeing this, the Fourth Prince's face changed. He dropped the whip in his hand, rushed over, and stretched out his hand to test the breath.

"Dead...dead!"

The fourth prince frowned: "This guy wants to stir up Chu Ning's hatred towards me!"

Liu Yuntao sighed and said, "Your Highness, you should prepare a generous gift to explain this matter to the King of Chu, otherwise the King of Chu will probably make trouble for you."

The fourth prince's expression changed slightly: "You want me to apologize to Chu Ning?"
