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

sunset.

A ray of setting sun slowly set in the west and disappeared over the horizon. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the sky gradually darkened.

At the gate of Prince Chu's Palace.

The sound of horse hooves echoed as purple carriages slowly approached.

The curtain was opened, and the Sixth Prince, dressed in purple royal robes with an indifferent look on his face, stepped on the stool put down by the guards and got off the carriage.

"Sixth brother, you came so fast!"

The voice coming from behind made the Sixth Prince raise his eyebrows. He turned around and saw that it was the Ninth Prince.

"Old Nine, why are you here too?" A hint of surprise flashed in the Sixth Prince's eyes.

The Ninth Prince laughed and said, "Sixth Brother, you may not know yet, but Eighteenth Brother has invited the nine of us to attend his dinner party."

"Oh? How did you know this news, Lao Jiu?"

"Hey, this is my secret."

As they were talking, the sound of horse hooves was heard. They turned around and saw the Eleventh Prince riding towards them!

Soon after, the other princes all arrived at the gate of Prince Chu's Palace one after another.

"Strange, why did Brother Eighteen invite us to a banquet at this time?"

"Who knows? But I just want to settle the score with him!"

"Hmph, that's right. I will also ask him why he mobilized my guards!"

Everyone was very angry about Chu Ning mobilizing their guards. They grumbled as they headed towards the palace.

Soon, everyone arrived at the door of the living room.

Chu Ning, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and bowed, smiling and said, "Thank you all for your kindness, brothers. Come on, come on, please come in."

Everyone looked at him, then snorted coldly and came into the hall.

A huge round table was filled with delicious food, and the aroma of wine was intoxicating.

Chu Ning smiled and gestured, "Brothers, please take a seat."

They have already arrived at the mansion, and no matter how dissatisfied everyone is with Chu Ning, they can only hold it in for now.

After everyone took their seats, the Sixth Prince was the first to speak up: "Eighteenth brother, you are really capable. You can actually mobilize my guards!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the twelfth prince narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Eighteenth brother, you must give us an explanation for this matter!"

"That's right. If you don't give me an explanation for this matter, I will never give up!"

"You are so bold, Eighteenth Brother, you are really outrageous."

Facing the accusations from everyone, Chu Ning remained calm and explained with a smile:

"One of the purposes of inviting all of you here today is to make amends. I'll drink this glass of wine!"

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

The Sixth Prince sneered: "So you want us to let this go?"

The eleventh prince narrowed his eyes and smiled contemptuously: "Eighteenth brother, you really look down on us!"

"No no no!"

Chu Ning waved his hands repeatedly: "I know that this matter will not make you brothers angry, so I specially prepared some things!"

"Someone, bring it up!"

At an order, Ran Ming led a group of people and carried several large boxes to the door of the hall.

The box opened, revealing the glittering silver inside!

Chu Ning smiled and said, "I promised those guards that if they kill one person, they will get 10 taels; if they kill three people, they will get 100 taels; if they kill five people, they will get 300 taels, and they will be promoted one level. If they die in battle, they will get 3,000 taels!"

"Here is a hundred thousand taels of silver. I believe it is enough to fulfill my promise. When you leave, please take the silver back and give it to them."

Seeing the silver, all the princes suddenly became quiet.

No one can resist money!

Moreover, Chu Ning gave them the money because he wanted them to do him a favor.

This is to show goodwill to them!

The seventeenth prince, who had the weakest financial resources, brightened his eyes when he saw this. He looked around and saw that no one spoke. He couldn't help but laugh and said:

"It's rare that my Eighteenth Brother has such a heart. I will accept the money on their behalf. However, this is the only time I'll do this. It won't happen again!"

Someone takes the lead and others immediately follow.

The fifteenth prince nodded and smiled, "Eighteenth brother is very sincere. If I don't accept it, it would seem a bit inhumane."

Seeing this, others also expressed their willingness to accept.

Chu Ning took the opportunity to say with a smile: "Don't worry, brothers, this will never happen again. Come on, let's drink this cup!"

At Chu Ning's invitation, everyone started eating and drinking.

The princes praised Chu Ning's wine highly and wished they could drink a few more sips.

Although Chu Ning also gave them some, they usually didn't dare to drink too much. Now that they have the chance, of course they want to drink more.

Anyway, this wine belongs to Chu Ning, and the one who will feel sorry if he drinks too much is Chu Ning.

For a while, the scene was filled with cheers and laughter, and it was very lively.

It took a full half hour for everyone to finally have enough food and drink.

At this moment, Chu Ning suddenly sighed, picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp!

This appearance caught the attention of the Sixth Prince, who couldn't help but ask, "Eighteenth Brother seems to be worried?"

Chu Ning, who was half drunk and had a red face, smiled awkwardly: "No... No, how could I be worried about something."

He even rolled his tongue when he spoke and looked like he couldn't handle the alcohol.

The Sixth Prince's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask, "Eighteenth Brother is in such a state, who would believe him if he said he had no worries?"

"Why don't you tell us while we are all here? We can give you some advice."

After saying this, he winked at the other princes.

The eleventh prince understood what was going on, and came to Chu Ning with a smile, supported Chu Ning and said, "As your elder brothers, we are well-informed. Maybe what is embarrassing for you is not a big deal for us at all."

"Is...is that so?"

Chu Ning put down his wine glass shakily and pretended to be helpless: "Alas, speaking of which, this matter is also somewhat related to you brothers."

"Oh? When did it happen that we were involved?" The Thirteenth Prince asked in surprise.

"What else could it be? Of course it's the leak of the 10 million taels of silver."

Chu Ning burped, exhaled a breath of foul air, and slowly said: "This matter was deliberately leaked to Zhou Lecheng by Yang Yuntao, allowing him to rob me of my money outside the city."

"And Zhou Le deliberately placed the silver in the woods to be picked up by the brothers in order to create a conflict between us."

"The culprit of all this is Yang Yuntao. If he hadn't leaked the information, there wouldn't have been so many problems."

"But I am a lowly person and my words carry little weight. Although I plan to impeach Yang Yuntao tomorrow, I am afraid that the Crown Prince will do his utmost to protect him."

As soon as these words came out, the Sixth Prince was overjoyed: "Don't be afraid, Eighteenth Brother. Go ahead and impeach us tomorrow. We will fully support you!"

The eleventh prince also said with hatred: "Yang Yuntao is really abominable. I will not let him go tomorrow!"

"Eighteenth brother, just go for it boldly. We will definitely support you!"

"Yang Yuntao dared to leak the secret, which caused us to lose the chance to go to Zhao's fiefdom. He deserves to die!"

All the princes came to their senses, filled with righteous indignation, and vented all their anger on Yang Yuntao.

They were originally planning to go to Zhao's fiefdom, but it was eventually ruined by Yang Yuntao. How could they let it go?

It would be fine if there was no chance, but once there was a chance, they would certainly help Chu Ning take down Yang Yuntao without reservation!

Besides, once Yang Yuntao is captured, the prince and Chu Ning will be at loggerheads, which is also beneficial to them!

When Chu Ning saw that everyone agreed, an unnoticeable smile appeared on his face.

"Since... all the brothers have agreed, I will impeach Yang Yuntao tomorrow!"

With the support of the nine princes, Yang Yuntao can't escape this time!
