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

“Hahahaha, Eighteenth Brother, you are so arrogant!”

Seeing Chu Ning's stubborn attitude, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but sneer, "Do you really think your men can defeat our guards just because they have been on the battlefield?"

The eleventh prince could not help but sneer: "My guards have been carefully selected. If you look down on them, you will suffer a great loss today!"

Even the Fifteenth Prince, who had remained silent, could not help but persuade him: "Eighteenth Brother, if you know what's good for you, just let us go. As your elder brother, we won't bother with you."

This condescending look made Chu Ning sneer: "You really won't cry until you see the coffin!"

Ran Ming, who rushed back, glared with murderous intent: "Your Highness, let me kill them and take them down first!"

The faces of all the princes suddenly changed, and they all took several steps back, fearing that Ran Ming would suddenly attack.

Although no one has seen Ran Ming's martial arts, his name is well-known in Kyoto City. Everyone knows that this is a guy who likes to blow other people's heads off.

Who wouldn't be afraid of such a reckless man!

It would be so unfair to die at the hands of such a person!

Fortunately, Chu Ning reached out to stop Ran Ming and said calmly: "Don't worry, it's not your turn to deal with them yet."

Ran Ming was stunned.

If he doesn't need to take action, then who should take action?

Even Ling Haoran, who was standing by, was puzzled and didn't understand what Chu Ning was talking about.

There is a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides now. If Ran Ming does not take action, they will have no chance of winning once a conflict occurs.

Although many people came from the Ministry of Justice, how could the runners of the Ministry be a match for the guards of the palace?

To put it bluntly, he can beat ten people by himself!

While he was deep in thought, he heard Chu Ning clapping his hands and said in a deep voice: "Send the signal arrow!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Three rockets take off!

The faces of the ten princes changed.

Chu Ning is asking for help!

“Humph, I thought you were very capable, but it turns out you know you can’t win and want to call for help!” The Sixth Prince was full of disdain.

The Eleventh Prince raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Eighteenth Brother, you must think clearly. It will take some time for your reinforcements to arrive from the city. We can definitely defeat you during this time!"

They didn't want to fight Chu Ning unless it was absolutely necessary.

Whether it was the combat effectiveness of the White Horse Cavalry or Ran Ming's personal strength, they were both fearful.

If they could persuade Chu Ning to change his mind, they certainly wouldn't want to take action.

But Chu Ning raised his lips slightly and said calmly: "When did I say that the reinforcements came from the city?"

Everyone was stunned.

If the reinforcements don’t come from the city, then where will they come from?

"Stop pretending!"

The twelfth prince suddenly attacked: "You are just trying to delay time. Do you really think we dare not take action?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other princes immediately realized that Chu Ning had been talking for so long and was most likely delaying time and waiting for reinforcements.

For a moment, the princes looked ugly and murderous intent appeared on their faces.

"Delaying for time?"

Chu Ning looked at the princes with murderous intent on their faces and chuckled, "If you want to say that, it's fine."

The twelfth prince sneered: "Since you admit it yourself, what else is there to say? Everyone, do it!"

The princes looked at each other, nodded, and prepared to give the order to take action.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted them.

A palace guard came to the crowd at a very fast speed and said anxiously, "Your Highness, our people transporting the silver have been attacked. They are everywhere and our people have been beaten back!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the princes changed drastically.

"impossible!"

The Sixth Prince suddenly grabbed the man by the collar and asked viciously, "Why are there soldiers here at this time? You are lying, you are Chu Ning's spy!"

The man turned pale with fear, and trembled slightly as he said, "Your Highness, I dare not lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards of other princes also came forward to report.

"Your Highness, something bad has happened. Someone is calling!"

"They are very powerful and came suddenly. We are no match for them."

"I don't know how many soldiers there are in this army. They are so densely packed with people."

As more and more occasional news came to light, the princes had no choice but to believe that there really was an army surrounding them.

Combined with Chu Ning's signal arrow just now, they knew that it must be Chu Ning's people.

The Sixth Prince had a gloomy expression. He pushed away the soldier he had grabbed and turned to stare at Chu Ning.

"You actually arranged troops here in advance. Could this be your evil plan?"

From the time they encountered robbers, got the silver, and happened to be met by Chu Ning, to now being surrounded by Chu Ning's troops, it was all too much of a coincidence.

The twelfth prince's face changed drastically when he heard this: "Sixth brother, are you saying that Eighteenth brother deliberately let this silver fall into our hands?"

The eleventh prince's eyes were cold and flashing with a chilling light: "I'm afraid that's the case!"

The other princes also reacted at this moment.

Yes, everything that happened today was too coincidental.

Especially since they were caught by Chu Ning just after they got the silver, and now Chu Ning has other soldiers here, they can't help but wonder if this was planned in advance by Chu Ning.

Not to mention that the other princes thought so, even Ling Haoran was looking at Chu Ning with suspicion at this moment.

But Chu Ning said calmly: "I don't have the ability to predict the future. This army was brought by Lord Liu Shouren last night!

On the surface, I did not send anyone out of the city to pursue last night. I was just creating an illusion to confuse others. In fact, I asked Lord Liu Shouren to investigate secretly.

If you attended the morning court today, you should know that Lord Liu Shouren did not attend the court."

The princes finally reacted at this time.

They missed Chu Ning's most important confidant Liu Shouren!

Since the first time the silver was robbed, Liu Shouren seemed to have rarely appeared in their sight.

I thought it was because the Ministry of Revenue was busy, but now it seems that Chu Ning did it on purpose to downplay Liu Shouren's existence.

However, knowing that it was Liu Shouren who brought people here, the Sixth Prince suddenly sneered: "Liu Shouren doesn't have many people at all!"

Who knew that just as he finished speaking, a laugh came from the side: "Sixth Prince, you are wrong!"

Amidst everyone's surprised eyes, Liu Shouren appeared in front of everyone from the side with a team of soldiers.

"Although I don't have many soldiers, Your Highness the King of Chu is the general and has the power to mobilize all the soldiers of Chu!"

"The ones coming this time are the elite troops from Liangzhou, a total of three thousand people!"

Liu Shouren bowed to Chu Ning and said, "Greetings to His Majesty the King of Chu."

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "How about silver?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have intercepted all of them with my men. There won't be any mistakes!"

Chu Ning then showed a satisfied look, turned to look at the Sixth Prince and others, and said calmly:

"My brothers, you now have two choices. One is to follow me back to the city to explain to my father. Everything will be decided by my father!"

"Second, you choose to have a fight with me to see if the fighting power of Liangzhou's elite soldiers exceeds that of your guards!"

Chu Ning was quite nice and gave them two choices.
