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

"Oh? I wonder what tricks the King of Chu has?"

Hearing that Chu Ning had a solution, Liu Che couldn't help but ask.

But Chu Ning smiled mysteriously: "This matter is of great importance, so keep it secret for now."

As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at Ren Wenxuan.

Obviously, he felt that it was not appropriate for Ren Wenxuan to tell the plan here.

Liu Che's mouth twitched, he lost interest, waved his hand and said: "In that case, you can leave. I am waiting for good news from you, King Chu."

"The outsiders take their leave!" Everyone bowed and left.

After leaving Changle Palace, Chu Ning called out to Huo Quji and Di Ying.

"Marquis Guanjun, Prime Minister Di, are you two interested in visiting my palace?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the six people stopped and turned to look at Chu Ning at the same time.

Princess Changping didn't even wait for Huo Quji to agree, and glared at Chu Ning fiercely: "Why, are you trying to hide something from us?"

Chu Ning laughed: "Princess Changping, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to avoid you on purpose."

"I am responsible for investigating the murder of King Wu, and I need the assistance of Marquis Guanjun, so I asked Marquis Guanjun to stay."

"As for Prime Minister Di, I have some trade relations with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I still need to ask him many questions."

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this is an excuse.

Princess Changping snorted coldly: "Forget it, I don't want to get involved in your affairs."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Li Shiming and Ji Yinghao looked at each other, then turned and left.

Only Ren Wenxuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Ning, sneering: "One month, humph, I want to see how you can find the murderer within a month!"

After saying this, the man flicked his sleeves and left with his hands behind his back.

Chu Ning didn't care about their attitudes. He looked at Huo Quji and asked with a smile, "I didn't expect that I just invited the Champion Marquis to the other courtyard, but it caused a big fight among the others."

Huo Quji's stern face trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "I have heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is the best at making people angry. After seeing it today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved."

"Hahahaha!"

Chu Ning laughed loudly: "You are too kind, Marquis Guanjun. Let's go to my villa."

The group left the palace and saw Ran Ming's troops at the palace gate.

Huo Quji's eyes turned cold, and a hint of displeasure flashed across them.

Of course he knew that Ran Ming must have brought his troops here at Chu Ning's instruction. Once Chu Ning was in danger in the palace, Ran Ming would definitely lead the troops to rescue him.

But this is the Han Dynasty Palace!

Chu Ning is so bold!

At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of Chu Ning's character.

This is a lawless guy!

Fortunately, His Majesty did not take action against Chu Ning today, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

With some relief, Huo Quji and Di Ying followed Chu Ning to the villa.

Courtyard, living room.

The fragrance of tea filled the air, floating up from the teacup, and the entire living room was filled with the aroma.

Chu Ning held the teacup, took a sip, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

But Huo Quji did not have the leisure time. An envoy had died, and he was a prince at that. How could he have the leisure time to drink tea?

"King of Chu, why did you invite me here?" Huo Quji asked first.

When people who have fought on the battlefield encounter such things, they just want to resolve them as quickly as possible.

What's more, this matter concerns the reputation of the Han Dynasty, and Huo Quji does not want to drag it on.

Chu Ning glanced at the impatient Huo Quji, then at Di Ying who was drinking tea, and couldn't help laughing:

"Marquis Guanjun, don't be anxious. Look at Prime Minister Di, he is very patient."

Huo Quji raised his eyebrows and said, "This incident happened in our Han Dynasty. Prime Minister Di was the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty. Of course he is not in a hurry!"

Chu Ning laughed: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, Champion Marquis. I just saw that you have a cold face all day long, so I want to liven up the atmosphere."

Huo Quji's mouth twitched. He wanted to refute but didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, at this time, Di Ying put down the teacup and said calmly: "Your Highness the King of Chu should ask the Marquis of Guanjun to dispatch troops to search, right?"

Chu Ning looked at him with appreciation, nodded and smiled, "Yes, they have so many people, it's not easy to hide. We just need to send people to search, I believe they will be able to reveal their tracks."

Huo Quji reacted: "Your Highness the Prince of Chu wants to alert the enemy?"

"Not bad!"

Chu Ning smiled and said, "It would be most appropriate for the Marquis of Guanjun to handle this matter, and it must be done in a big way, so that everyone in the city knows about it!"

"Only then will those people panic and try to find a way to leave Chang'an City. Then, it will be time to close the net."

"Of course, the Champion Marquis needs to strengthen the guard at the city gate and strictly investigate those who leave the city."

This time Huo Quji finally understood why Chu Ning asked him to come here to discuss matters.

This matter has caused such a big stir, how could an ordinary person do it?

Only if Huo Quji personally led his troops to search could the murderer be caused to panic.

"I understand!"

Huo Quji stood up and saluted: "There is no time to lose. I will arrange it right away."

Without waiting for Chu Ning to speak, he turned and left.

But when he reached the door, he felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Di Ying, frowned and asked:

"What does the King of Chu want to arrange for Prime Minister Di?"

He came with Di Ying, it can't be that he is the only one doing the work while Di Ying and Chu Ning are chatting, right?

Di Ying also turned to look at Chu Ning with some curiosity.

Chu Ning picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said calmly: "Prime Minister Di led the Great Zhou troops to investigate secretly."

"One in the light and one in the dark, the two of you should take care of each other. Of course, for the sake of convenience, Guan Junhou needs to give Di Cheng something to trust, otherwise I'm afraid he won't be able to command anyone."

On the surface, Huo Quji made a big fuss.

Di Ying led people to investigate secretly.

Huo Quji nodded slightly, thinking that this plan was good, but on second thought, he felt something was wrong.

"This Marquis and Prime Minister Di are both busy with this matter, so what are you doing, King Chu?"

This matter was given to Chu Ning by the emperor, but now Chu Ning has handed over the investigation to them and become a hands-off boss!

Huo Quji was indignant!

Chu Ning shrugged: "As the first suspect, I must avoid suspicion if possible. I can also use this to confuse the murderer and make them think that I am helpless."

Even Di Ying couldn't stand listening to such obvious sophistry. He turned his head to the side and pretended that he heard nothing.

The corner of Huo Quji's mouth twitched, but he finally shook his head helplessly. Without saying anything else, he turned and left.

Chu Ning saw Huo Quji leave, then he looked at Di Ying with a smile and said, "Lord Di, send someone to closely monitor Ren Wenxuan, Princess Changping, Li Shiming and Ji Yinghao!"

Di Ying's expression changed slightly: "Your Highness suspected that these four people were responsible? But didn't some of them have a good relationship with you? If the murderer was really one of them, why did they put the blame on you?"

Chu Ning chuckled: "People's minds are fickle. Among these people, I trust no one except you!"

Di Ying's face straightened, he stood up and saluted: "I will go and arrange for the surveillance right away."

Watching Di Ying's departing figure, Chu Ning shouted towards the side hall, "Master Deng!"

Deng Hongwen, who had been in the side hall, slowly appeared.

"Tell me about your situation on the scene and your opinion."

Before going to the palace, Chu Ning asked Deng Hongwen to go to the scene.
