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

Chu Ning led more than a hundred white horse cavalrymen and marched towards the city gate in a mighty manner.

In order to hide Jia Yu's identity, several horse-drawn carriages were specially prepared. It was advertised that they were loaded with silver bills, but in fact one of the carriages contained Jia Yu with his mouth gagged.

When we arrived at the city gate, a man who looked like a captain came forward to talk to us.

After taking a look at Chu Ning's flag, the captain saluted and asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, are you planning to leave the city?"

Chu Ning nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I have already bid farewell to the emperor."

The captain's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly raised his hand to signal, "Since Your Majesty agrees, I will let you go, but according to convention, I need to check you."

"examine?"

Chu Ning showed a playful look on his face. "My carriage is full of banknotes. You can check it if you want, but if there is one banknote missing, you are corrupt and I will not be lenient."

Threat, naked threat.

If someone else said this, the captain would definitely sneer.

But it was Chu Ning who said this, so he had to consider the consequences.

Everyone in Chang'an City knew that Chu Ning was the banker and had won a lot of silver bills. Even he himself had lost more than ten taels of silver.

Now these silver bills are in the carriage in front of you. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a huge number of silver bills?

He couldn't guarantee that none of his men would take advantage of the inspection to secretly steal the banknotes.

These banknotes are of large value, enough to make people take risks!

Thinking of this, the captain laughed awkwardly: "Your Highness the King of Chu is joking. No one can check you~"

"Come here, let them in~" After the order was given, the soldiers at the door immediately made way.

"Your Highness, this way please~"

Under the guidance of the captain, Chu Ning led his troops out of the city gate.

But at this moment, Huo Quji, who was observing this scene from a distance, frowned.

There were several carriages in Chu Ning's team, but the mark on one of the carriages was deeper than the others.

It was obvious that the contents of that carriage were different!

Just as Huo Quji was surprised, a soldier came to report: "Report to the Marquis of Guanjun, Jia Yu did not come out after going to the other courtyard with the King of Chu."

"I sent people to look for Jia Yu, but he was nowhere to be found in the city. Even the Wei Posthouse was deserted."

After these words were spoken, Huo Quji's face looked a little ugly.

How could a living person disappear?

Did Jia Yu hide it on purpose?

Impossible. Jia Yu came here to protect Chu Ning. How could he hide?

and many more……

Hide it!

Huo Quji seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he looked up at the Chu cavalry that had already left the city, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"Come on, follow me and catch up with them!"

Without time to explain, Huo Quji jumped on his horse and headed straight out of the city.

Seeing this, the soldiers behind immediately chased after him.

The soldiers of the city defense camp had just stood at the gate when they suddenly saw a cavalry rushing over. The captain leading the cavalry could not help but snort coldly.

"Who dares to ride a horse wildly in the city?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Quji's stern face appeared in his sight.

"Ah... It's Guanjun Hou, get out of the way, get out of the way!" The captain was shocked and quickly ordered the soldiers to get out of the way.

Huo Quji led his troops and rushed out, quickly passed through the city gate and headed straight for Chu Ning.

Chu Ning, who was marching, heard the sound of horse hooves behind him and couldn't help but turn around to look.

I saw a cavalry chasing them quickly.

Ran Ming raised his eyebrows when he saw this: "Your Highness, do you want to leave faster?"

Chu Ning shook his head: "We still have a few carriages with us. We can't be their opponent in terms of speed."

Chu Ning pulled the reins and turned his horse around: "I will meet the Champion Marquis and see what he can do to me!"

"Everyone, stop immediately!"

Chu Ning knew that he could not outrun the lightly armed cavalry with the silver bills, so he was not in a hurry to run.

Huo Quji, who was riding a horse, saw Chu Ning stop and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xu~"

Huo Quji rode his horse to a stop in front of Chu Ning, frowned and asked, "May I ask what is in the carriage behind His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

Chu Ning raised his lips slightly and said calmly: "Silver note!"

"is it?"

Huo Quji narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The Great Wei envoy, Lord Jia Yu, is missing. I am trying my best to find him. If Your Highness the King of Chu doesn't mind, could you let me take a look at what's inside the carriage?"

This made Ran Ming's eyes widen: "This is our thing, you can show it to me just because I told you to?"

Chu Ning stretched out his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "Since the Champion Marquis wants to see it, I will naturally give him face. However, if Jia Yu is not in my carriage, what should the Champion Marquis do?"

"This……"

Huo Quji hesitated.

Chu Ning was so confident, could it be that he had been prepared for this?

But Jia Yu clearly disappeared after meeting Chu Ning, and it is very likely that he is in the carriage in front of us.

He would not be satisfied if he didn't search it!

Losing a messenger is a great sin.

The relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom was already not good at this moment. If Jia Yu disappeared again, the relationship between the two countries would definitely deteriorate further.

But if he wanted to search, Chu Ning probably wouldn't agree easily.

Thinking of this, Huo Quji said in a deep voice: "What will Your Highness the King of Chu do in order to allow me to search?"

"It's easy!"

Chu Ning chuckled and said, "I want the Champion Marquis's token. With this token, I can travel freely throughout the Han Dynasty."

After all, this is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the other side has a hundred ways to stop them from advancing.

But it was different with Huo Quji's token. No one dared to disrespect Huo Quji.

When Huo Quji heard that Chu Ning wanted his token, he actually felt relieved.

He couldn't agree to anything else, but he could give his token of love to Chu Ning.

After all, the emperor had agreed to let Chu Ning leave, and he was just going with the flow!

As long as we are sure that Jia Yu is not in the car, what's wrong with letting Chu Ning leave?

"Okay, I promise you!"

Huo Quji took off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it over: "No matter whether we can find out the truth or not, I will give this token to the King of Chu!"

Chu Ning reached out to take the jade pendant and laughed, "Champion Marquis is so courageous!"

He waved his hand and said loudly: "Open the carriage curtain and let the Champion Marquis check it!"

At a command, the white horse cavalry opened the curtain of the carriage.

Huo Quji waved his right hand, and more than a dozen soldiers immediately went up to check.

But after a while, all the people came back and shook their heads to indicate that they did not see anyone in the carriage.

Only one of the soldiers gave a different answer from the others.

"My lord, I found several huge rocks in that carriage!" The soldier pointed at one of the carriages.

The Champion Marquis took a look and saw that the wheel mark of that carriage was deeper than that of the other carriages.

But inside, there was actually stone!

be cheated!

This kid Chu Ning was setting a trap for him, deliberately waiting for him to catch up so that he could get his token!

Thinking of this, Huo Quji glanced at Chu Ning and said coldly:

"King Chu has great tactics!"

Chu Ning laughed: "Does the Champion Marquis still want to investigate? If not, I will leave."

Huo Quji had a cold face and said nothing.

Chu Ning chuckled and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
