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

In the palace under the cover of night, everything was silent. The hanging red lanterns floated in the night wind, adding a touch of weirdness.

Inside the palace's woodshed, a man with his skin torn apart was wailing in pain, and the sound could be heard in the night as the pain spread to the yard outside.

The two tall palace guards at the door turned a deaf ear to him and even had a bit of disdain in their eyes.

How dare Ni Heng, this man, cause trouble in the palace. It would be a relief for Your Highness if you don't kill him.

Now he still has the nerve to wail here, he is so shameless to the extreme.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps interrupted their thoughts. When they looked up, they saw Chu Ning coming with his hands behind his back, followed by Zhao Yu and Guan Yun.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" The two guards hurriedly bowed.

Chu Ning nodded slightly and asked, "How is Ni Heng's situation?"

The guard said in a deep voice: "This person was shouting at first, wanting to see Your Highness, and then when he saw that we ignored him, he began to wail."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wailing sound in the house rang out again.

Chu Ning raised his lips slightly: "Scholars, there are really few hard-headed people. He is already half dead after only half of the thirty-point punishment."

As he spoke, Chu Ning waved his hand to signal Zhao Yu to open the door.

Ni Heng, who was wailing, heard the noise and quickly looked up.

When he found that it was Chu Ning who came in, a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Your Highness, I...I have something to say!"

Chu Ning put on an expressionless face: "You made trouble in my palace, and I didn't kill you because of your master. But if you think I will let you go, you are wrong!"

As he spoke, the vague murderous intent in his body made you shudder.

If someone else said this, you would definitely not believe it.

With the reputation of his master Mr. Sima and his own reputation, no one dared to kill him.

But Chu Ning is different. He is an illegitimate child who has never received any royal education. Moreover, he is about to go to the front line to die, so he has no fear at all.

Even if I really killed myself, it was impossible for my master, Mr. Sima, to cause trouble for the Emperor of Great Chu just because of a prince who was about to go to the front line to die!

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me!" Ni Heng was completely panicked.

As he spoke, he kowtowed continuously.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves!

Although he was arrogant and conceited in the past, that was only when he was sure that the other party would not dare to attack him.

Now that he knew Chu Ning dared to kill him, how could he still be so arrogant?

Chu Ning was very satisfied with Ni Heng's performance, but he still looked cold and icy: "If you want to stay alive, it depends on how useful you are to me!"

Nie rolled his eyes and understood in his heart the purpose of Chu Ning looking for him.

Chu Ning wants to deal with Zhao Feiyan!

It just so happens that I also hate the woman who wants to kill me!

Ni Heng reacted without waiting for Chu Ning to ask, and said quickly: "Your Highness, I know that Zhao Feiyan originally gathered many talented people from the Great Chu to attack you at the banquet!"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and a strange color flashed across them.

He had received a letter secretly sent by a mysterious person before, saying that someone would cause trouble for him at the engagement party.

Originally he thought the other party was talking about Ni Heng.

But now it seems that Zhao Feiyan still has a trick up her sleeve.

Most likely, he saw that you had defeated him, and was worried that even if he let those talented men out, it would be useless, so he did not let those talented men take action.

"I already knew this news a long time ago. If you tell me now, it won't do me much good!"

Chu Ning glanced at Ni Heng and said, "Show your sincerity!"

"This……"

Ni Heng hesitated for a moment, then said with a worried look on his face: "My friendship with Zhao Feiyan ends here. I really don't know anything else about her."

"If that's the case, then you are of no use to me!"

After Chu Ning finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Ni Heng suddenly became anxious.

He knew that this was his only chance. Once Chu Ning left, it would be difficult for him to see Chu Ning in the future.

"Your Highness, wait!"

Ni Heng quickly crawled to Chu Ning's feet, hugged Chu Ning's thighs and shouted: "I, Ni Heng, am quite famous in this world. Keeping me here will be useful to Your Highness. I am willing to serve Your Highness from now on!"

I have no choice but to express my opinion. I can't just die here.

Although the injuries on his body were not serious, he was penniless and unable to walk. If he continued to suffer like this, he would only die here.

The only chance to survive is to become Chu Ning's person!

"Oh? Are you willing to join me?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a half-smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you know that I will go to the front line next, and there is a high possibility that I will not come back. Aren't you afraid of death?"

Ni Heng's mouth twitched: "Of course I am afraid of death, but it will take some time for Your Highness to go to the front line. As the saying goes, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Live as long as you can!

Besides, I also know that His Highness is about to negotiate with Zhao Feiyan, and perhaps I can help His Highness in this matter."

Seeing this begging appearance, Guan Yun snorted coldly and said with disgust: "How can a coward like you who is greedy for life and afraid of death be able to help His Highness?"

Ni Heng glared at Guan Yun fiercely and said, "Peace talks don't rely on force. How can a warrior like you do that? I have always made a living with my mouth. I can really be of use to you in the peace talks!"

After saying that, he put on a smiling face and looked at Chu Ning: "Your Highness, in the next peace talks, Zhao Feiyan will definitely use the advantage of the battle situation on the front line of Great Zhao to be aggressive, which will make Your Highness unable to resist!

Please give me a chance to show my abilities and bring me along during the negotiations. I will definitely be able to help you!"

Chu Ning looked at Ni Heng, whose face was full of desire to survive, with a look of hesitation on his face, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of what Ni Heng said.

But Guan Yun on the side couldn't listen any more and sneered, "You can say anything to save your life. Your Highness, he caused trouble in the palace today, so you should kill him and give Madam Shen an explanation!"

Madam Shen, as Chu Ning's mother-in-law, was so angry that she fainted at Ni Heng. If she used this as an excuse to kill Ni Heng, even Ni Heng's master would not dare to say anything!

These words frightened Ni Heng so much that his face turned pale: "This... Your Highness, what happened today is indeed my fault, but this was all instigated by Zhao Feiyan!

Now I am willing to submit to Your Highness and help Your Highness deal with Zhao Feiyan with all your strength. Please give me a chance!"

In order to survive, Ni Heng could only kowtow while speaking.

The bright red blood flowed down his forehead to Chu Ning's trouser legs. The pungent smell of blood seemed to bring Chu Ning back to his senses from his thoughts.

"Alright, if you keep knocking your head without waiting for my order, you will die!"

A playful look appeared on Chu Ning's lips: "Since your attitude is so firm, then I will give you this opportunity and take you with me to the peace talks in three days!

Guan Yun, have someone check his injuries and heal him in the next two days!"

Guan Yun's face looked a little unhappy: "Your Highness, what if this person goes back on his word?"

Chu Ning laughed: "If that's the case, then we'll have a legitimate reason to kill him!"

The corner of your mouth twitched.

I have been completely controlled by Chu Ning.

It seems that we must show some real skills in the peace talks three days later, otherwise it will not be easy to survive!

It just so happens that Zhao Feiyan has betrayed me today, and I will not be merciful to this woman.

Zhao Feiyan, just wait!

This vengeance must be avenged.

This life must be saved!
