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

Chu Ning's resolute attitude made all the princes look extremely ugly.

They never dreamed that Chu Ning would actually transfer troops from Liangzhou!

Liangzhou is located in a remote area and borders the Zhou Dynasty, which leads to the fierce character of the local people.

What's more, this group of people have been trained by Zhao Yu. If a fight really breaks out, the guards under their command may not be their opponents.

More importantly, they didn’t know how many people had come from Liangzhou.

If the numbers are equal, then it's easy to say, they have the strength to fight.

But if 5,000 or 10,000 troops were sent in, they would be no match at all!

Faced with the two choices given by Chu Ning, the ten princes looked at each other, and the arrogance they had just had was no longer there.

"Eighteenth brother, this matter is of great importance, we need to discuss it!"

The Sixth Prince did not want to give up. He had finally obtained the opportunity to go to the fiefdom of Zhao State. If it was ruined by Chu Ning, it would be uncertain whether he could go to Zhao State in the future.

Chu Ning was not surprised by this, and said calmly: "I have plenty of time, brothers, please take your time to talk, there is no rush."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to signal Liu Shouren and others to step down and give this place to the princes.

Seeing Chu Ning and the others walking away, the Sixth Prince’s face darkened: “Everyone, we have no way out now, why not give it a try!

As long as we get out of this area, it will be difficult for them to catch up with us. Besides, there are ten of us, how many can he catch up with alone?"

The meaning was clear. Even if Chu Ning chased, he would only chase one person. The other nine people could take the opportunity to go to the Zhao State's fiefdom.

But the Eleventh Prince frowned and said, "We don't know how many people the other side has now. If a fight really breaks out, we may not be able to rush out."

The Thirteenth Prince was also worried: "I heard that the Liangzhou troops are mostly cavalry. Even if we rush out of the woods, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape their pursuit."

The fifteenth prince snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? Does Chu Ning really dare to kill us? Even if we are caught by him, we will just be taken back!"

They have the status of princes, and Chu Ning, as their brother, can only capture them but not kill them without the emperor's permission!

The Sixteenth Prince's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That makes sense. I also think that giving it a try is in our best interest!"

If you fail, the worst that can happen is that you will be caught and taken back.

But if they voluntarily laid down their weapons and returned to the city with Chu Ning at this moment, it would not only be a blow to those who supported them, but would also make other neutral officials think that they were afraid of Chu Ning.

This has a huge impact on their reputation!

But the Seventeenth Prince was cautious: "We must not be reckless in this matter. If we act now, wouldn't it show that we are guilty and it will be confirmed that we have robbed these people!"

They were not worried about their own safety during the fight, but what they feared most was that Chu Ning would use this incident to prove their crime of robbing silver.

After these words were spoken, all the princes fell silent.

They are not fools and understand the seriousness of committing this crime.

This is the military pay to support the soldiers on the front line. Robbing military pay is a capital crime!

Even if they were princes, the emperor would never let them go.

More importantly, this batch of silver was to be transported to the State of Zhao. If the soldiers on the front line learned that it was they who robbed the silver, would they still want to govern the State of Zhao?

The princes were fully aware of the seriousness of the matter, and no one dared to be convicted of the crime of robbing silver.

Seeing that no one was talking, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but frown: "Now that things have come to this, do we have any other choice?

Delaying is not a solution. When people in the city see the signal arrows from here, they will definitely send people to check.

Let's put it this way, the minority obeys the majority, those who agree to take action stand on this side, and those who disagree stand on the other side!"

After saying this, the Sixth Prince automatically walked over to the side where the action was taking place.

The other nine princes looked at each other, and then one after another walked away from the action.

This scene made the Sixth Prince so angry that he clenched his hands and shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of? If you don't take action now, you will be controlled by Chu Ning once you return to the city!

Now the silver is in our hands, as long as Chu Ning seizes this opportunity, we will not be able to explain to our father."

The Sixth Prince was really angry.

I had finally gotten the fiefdom quota and thought I could go to the Zhao State fiefdom smoothly, but I didn't expect something unexpected to happen along the way.

What’s more crucial is that this group of princes chose to retreat one by one!

But no matter how the Sixth Prince scolded, the other nine princes just didn't want to take action.

If you fight and win, it's fine, but if you lose, your crime will be completely proven.

Therefore, they feel that it is in their best interest not to take action.

Seeing that no one spoke, the Sixth Prince was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he cursed: "Cowards, you are really cowards!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ning's voice came from behind: "Who are you calling a coward, Sixth Brother?"

When everyone turned around, they saw Chu Ning and his men surrounding them.

The Sixth Prince's face was gloomy, and he gasped: "We haven't finished discussing it yet!"

Chu Ning shrugged and said calmly: "Although I have plenty of time, I can't let you keep discussing.

You haven't come to a conclusion in a cup of tea, I don't want to wait any longer!"

After saying this, Chu Ning changed his lazy look, his whole body suddenly shook with momentum, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said in a cold voice:

"Someone, do it!"

When these words were spoken, all the princes were shocked. They did not expect Chu Ning to be so determined.

But this also indirectly reflects that Chu Ning has absolute confidence in this battle, otherwise he would not have acted so easily.

Upon hearing this, the Fourteenth Prince shouted, "Eighteenth Brother, please don't do anything. I am willing to go back with you to explain this to my father!"

Someone takes the lead and others immediately follow suit.

One after another, princes expressed their willingness to return to the city.

In the end, only the Sixth Prince remained silent!

Chu Ning turned to look at the Sixth Prince and said in a cold voice: "It seems that Sixth Brother wants to have a fight with me?"

He has changed his self-proclaimed title and no longer calls himself the younger brother, but calls himself the King!

Sensing the murderous intent in Chu Ning's words, the Sixth Prince frowned. Although he was reluctant, he could only snort coldly:

"When did I say I would not return to the city?"

"In this case, please give the order, brothers, for your men to lay down their weapons!"

Chu Ning was too lazy to waste words: "Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy!"

The princes had no choice but to order their guards to lay down their weapons.

Liu Shouren acted promptly and sent people to collect the weapons and move the silver to the official road.

"Take them back to Kyoto City and temporarily detain them in the Ministry of Justice Prison!"

Chu Ning made a decision about these guards, and then looked at Ling Haoran behind him and asked, "Lord Ling, the Ministry of Justice will take care of these people."

Ling Haoran secretly groaned in his heart, but on the surface he still bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will keep a close watch on him!"

Chu Ning then nodded and smiled: "Everyone will get a reward today!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" everyone cheered.

"It's getting late, return to the city immediately!"

At Chu Ning's command, the team set out and returned to Kyoto City.

At this point, the much-talked-about fiefdom issue was hijacked by Chu Ning!

However, on the way back, the Sixth Prince realized that the number of soldiers coming from Bingzhou this time was as many as 10,000!

Why did Chu Ning mobilize so many troops to Kyoto City?

The Sixth Prince was puzzled and had doubts in his mind, but he remembered this matter!

He felt that this might be his turning point.
