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

Prince Chu's Mansion.

Chu Ning sat in the main seat, holding a teacup, looking relaxed.

On the left and right sides below, Liu Shouren, Deng Hongwen and Ran Ming were prominently listed.

The silver was recovered today and everyone is free of pressure. They all look relaxed.

Chu Ning saw that everyone was present, and then he smiled and said, "Thanks to Lord Liu for leading his troops to arrive in time today, otherwise I am afraid that I would not have been able to capture those ten people so easily."

Liu Shouren shook his head: "If it weren't for the King of Chu's advance arrangements, I would never have thought that the other party would take the initiative to let the silver be obtained by the ten princes."

Ran Ming was confused by this and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Chu Ning glanced at him and shook his head: "Let Master Liu explain it to you."

Ran Ming turned and looked at Liu Shouren.

Liu Shouren couldn't help but laugh and said, "In fact, Your Highness realized that the other party's purpose was not for the money when they first put the blame on the fourth prince for the money!

If it was just for the silver, there would be no need for them to give out the silver, so His Highness deliberately used the silver as bait to lure the other party into taking action.

Sure enough, the other party was fooled and robbed the silver again. This time, the other party's goal was to make the ten princes and highnesses kill each other!

Think about it, if I hadn't led the troops there at that time, and His Highness had only those few people around him, the ten princes would have definitely taken the risk.

As for the troops of Liang Province, after Xiahou Ren was killed, the King of Chu felt that the palace was not safe, so he sent people to inform General Zhao Yu to dispatch 10,000 people to the capital!"

Ran Ming finally reacted after hearing this.

It turned out that Chu Ning had done it on purpose the second time the silver was lost.

"But what if the other party really takes the silver away the second time?"

Ran Ming touched his huge bald head and whispered, "This is 10 million taels of silver, which is not a small amount. Anyone would be tempted."

It was rare for Ran Ming to learn to think about the problem, Chu Ning couldn't help but smile and explain in person: "The other party is not a fool. The second robbery of silver was so easy that it must have made the other party suspicious.

So, they simply did not transport the silver away, but found a place to hide it and wait for the opportunity.

I didn't expect that my father had just sent my ten brothers to the fiefdom of Zhao State at this moment, and the other party took advantage of the situation and wanted to let the 10 million taels of silver fall into their hands, thus causing the king and my ten brothers to kill each other. "

Ran Ming was stunned: "That guy is so powerful? But how did he know that after hiding the silver, he would have the opportunity to sow discord between you and the ten princes?

Could it be that the man knew in advance that the ten princes would pass by there, so he placed the silver there in advance?"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and flashed a strange color: "This is indeed a big problem!"

At this time, Deng Hongwen suddenly spoke up: "Your Highness, according to the information I received, the ten emperors knew last night that they would go to the fiefdom of Zhao today."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "In that case, it is possible that one of these ten brothers leaked the news in advance!"

Deng Hongwen nodded and said in a deep voice: "For now, this is the only explanation. Otherwise, how could the other party arrange the silver in that forest in advance?"

But at this time, Liu Shouren suddenly objected: "No, the purpose of the ten princes is to enter the fiefdom of Zhao State, it is impossible to cause trouble at this moment."

Ran Ming was dizzy from what they said. He waved his hands and shouted, "Stop, stop, stop. I'm dizzy from listening to them. One moment they said someone among the ten princes leaked the news, and the next moment they said it couldn't be them."

Chu Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this.

Ran Ming felt embarrassed by the laughter, he touched his huge bald head, smiled awkwardly and asked: "What are you laughing at, Your Highness?"

Chu Ning shook his head: "It's rare that you are willing to use your brain, so let me answer your questions.

The ten brothers really didn't want to cause any trouble, but they couldn't guarantee that their subordinates would not leak the news.

Even people like Su Wenguang and Wei Kangping are the other side's people, who can guarantee that there are no spies from the other side in other palaces?"

Not only the ten princes are suspected of leaking the information, but their guards are also suspected!

Liu Shouren immediately reacted: "Your Highness captured those 3,000 people. Could it be that he got clues from these people?"

Chu Ning looked at him with appreciation and said, "Yes, I do have this intention, but I am just using today's actions as a cover-up.

You need to inform Lord Ling about this matter. You must not reveal your purpose during the interrogation. Lord Deng will cooperate with you in investigating the background of these people."

After a pause, Chu Ning asked, "How are the troops in Liangzhou being settled?"

Liu Shouren said in a deep voice: "At present, the city defense has been taken over by the Liangzhou troops, and everyone is under our control."

Chu Ning turned and looked at Ran Ming.

Ran Ming took the initiative to say without waiting for him to speak: "The city defense camp has been controlled, and those people are under guard."

Seeing that everything was settled, Chu Ning showed satisfaction: "Very good, now all the soldiers in the city, except the imperial guards, are under my control!"

But Deng Hongwen was a little worried and said, "Your Highness, taking over the city defense camp with such fanfare, and not even mentioning this to His Majesty, will this cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction and suspicion?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious look: "I just want to make my father suspicious!"

Ran Ming was stunned and was about to ask something, but Liu Shouren beside him pulled his clothes and signaled him not to speak.

At this time, Chu Ning suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, the two adults are tired after a busy day, go down and rest."

"I'll take my leave." Liu Shouren and Deng Hongwen bowed and left.

When Ran Ming saw that he was the only one there, he wanted to bow and leave.

But Chu Ning looked at him and smiled, "This king has something else that you need to do in person."

"Please give me your orders, Your Highness!"

"You take a team of people to escort the silver out of the city in the middle of the night, send them out of Sizhou territory and come back!"

Ran Ming reacted, his face showing excitement: "I understand, this is what you said, Your Highness, repairing the plank road in the open while marching through Chencang in secret!"

Chu Ning laughed, stood up and walked to his side, patted his shoulder and said, "Not bad, now you even know idioms."

Ran Ming touched his head embarrassedly, looking shy.

Chu Ning shook his head: "Okay, you go down and rest for two hours, and then set off at midnight. Now we have our own people at the city gate, and no one will know you are leaving the city, and it also eliminates the possibility of the other party intercepting you halfway."

"Yes!" Ran Ming responded and immediately went down to make arrangements.

This batch of silver has been delayed for a long time and has been used by Chu Ning twice. Now that the goal has been achieved, of course it must be sent away as soon as possible.

After all, this is the military pay for the front line and it cannot be delayed too long.

This time with Ran Ming escorting us, and the matter being kept absolutely confidential, it must be foolproof.

Of course, Chu Ning also knew that his move this time was very big and would definitely attract the emperor’s attention.

"Next, it depends on how Father will make his move!"

Chu Ning showed a playful look on his face: "And the person behind the scenes, I think it's time for him to show up!"
