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

Chapter 78 Want to talk? Pay back the money you owe first

At the gate of the Ministry of Rites, the arrogant Zhao Feiyan met the equally arrogant Chu Ning!

Chu Ning made the final decision, leaving Zhao Feiyan in a dilemma.

She couldn't bring herself to leave. She couldn't bring herself to stay and continue the negotiations.

Let’s go. Given Chu Ning’s personality, he might not be willing to negotiate in the future, which would make Da Zhao’s plan go to waste.

No, for the sake of Great Zhao, I would not allow the peace talks to fail even if I lose face today.

Zhao Feiyan turned around and stared coldly at Chu Ning: "Prince Penglai really refreshed my understanding of the Great Chu. It is obvious that your dynasty is at a disadvantage on the front line, but you act like you have the upper hand!

This princess is very curious, what gives you the confidence? If the peace talks fail, aren't you worried that the Emperor of Great Chu will chop off your head? "

Wang Wenguang, who was standing by, quickly advised, "Your Highness, peace talks are not a joke. Princess Feiyan has already made concessions, so we should stop here."

Even He Peng, who had been trying to watch from the sidelines, smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, Princess Feiyan has already stayed. We can continue our conversation."

Although I don’t know what Chu Ning’s confidence comes from, Princess Feiyan doesn’t want to leave anymore, so I have to give her some face.

However, Chu Ning chuckled, slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "My two lords, there is no need to persuade me. I don't want to talk now!"

After saying that, Chu Ning shouted to Zhao Yu, "Bring my warhorse here and return to the palace!"

Zhao Yu said nothing and led the war horse over personally.

Zhao Feiyan's face suddenly became anxious.

Chu Ning, this bastard, is really a dog. I have already made concessions and even deliberately gave him a way out, but this guy not only refused to give in, he even wanted to tear the step down!

"Okay, since you don't want to talk, I will go to the palace and tell the Emperor of Great Chu!"

Zhao Feiyan was so angry that she couldn't hold back any longer and yelled to Han Ping behind her: "Bring the warhorse here!"

Then, the two of them jumped on their horses at the same time, looking like they were ready to leave.

Seeing this, the people on the street made way for him.

He Peng and Wang Wenguang were immediately panicked.

The two main figures of the peace talks are gone, and the responsibility for the failure of the talks will inevitably be placed on them.

Wang Wenguang immediately stood in front of Zhao Feiyan's horse, smiled bitterly and said soothingly: "Princess Feiyan, please be patient, I will persuade Your Highness to have a good negotiation."

Zhao Feiyan sneered and said nothing.

He Peng stood in front of Chu Ning's horse and said helplessly, "Your Highness, if today's incident becomes serious, His Majesty will definitely punish you in order to appease the anger of the Great Zhao!"

"Punishment?"

Chu Ning chuckled: "Is there any more cruel punishment than going to the front line and dying?"

He Peng was stunned.

Zhao Feiyan reacted.

It turns out that the reason this guy was so confident was because he was going to the front line!

Knowing that going to the front line means death, why not just be tough now and leave a good reputation?

But doesn’t this guy want to have a successful peace negotiation with the Great Zhao and avoid going to the front line?

Zhao Feiyan stared at Chu Ning with a strange look on her face: "Do you really want to go to the front line?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "It's not that I want to go to the front line, but I have to go to this front line!"

In Kyoto City, I have no power or influence, and I have cheated so many people out of their money. It would be dangerous to stay there for one more day!

Besides, if he didn't go to the front line, his seventeen brothers would definitely take action against him.

Rather than staying in Kyoto and being slaughtered, it is better to go to the front line and give it a try.

Zhao Feiyan reacted immediately after hearing this.

Given Chu Ning's current situation, he really has no other choice but to go to the front line.

No wonder the Emperor of Great Chu asked Chu Ning to lead the peace talks. It turns out that this was his purpose!

No, I must not let Chu Ning disturb my mind, nor can I follow Chu Ning's rhythm.

We must seize the initiative.

Having made up her mind, Zhao Feiyan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It is not the will of our dynasty to start a war on the front line. This time, I am here to negotiate on behalf of my father. If the negotiations are successful, you, the Prince of Penglai, will not have to go to the front line."

"The peace talks are successful~ Hehe, doesn't that mean I have to agree to your Great Zhao's request?"

Chu Ning sneered: "If my guess is correct, you, the Great Zhao, want our army to give up Dingxiang City, right?"

Zhao Feiyan said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course, our soldiers have fought bravely on the front line and have now surrounded Dingxiang City on three sides. It is only a matter of time before this city falls into our hands."

Dingxiang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the city can be captured through peace talks, the Great Zhao can lose fewer troops.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning laughed loudly, shook his head and stared at Zhao Feiyan as if she were a fool: "Dingxiang City is an important frontier city that our dynasty has built over many years, how can we hand it over so easily?

Besides, even if I agree to this, the people of Great Chu will not agree to it!"

After saying that, Chu Ning turned around and looked at the people around him, and shouted, "What do you think?"

"Your Highness is right!"

"We must not hand over Dingxiang City to the Great Zhao!"

"That is our front-line barrier. If we hand it over, the Zhao army will be able to march straight in!"

"You must not hand it over!"

For a moment, the people at the scene were filled with indignation and spoke out in agreement.

Chu Ning shrugged and looked at Zhao Feiyan with a playful expression: "See, this is what the people of my Great Chu really think."

Zhao Feiyan's face turned completely gloomy.

It turned out that he had fallen into Chu Ning's trap from the very beginning. He deliberately negotiated at this door with the purpose of using the numerical advantage of the people of Da Chu to suppress him!

Chu Ning is indeed a difficult guy.

This guy must die, otherwise the peace talks cannot go on.

With a turn of her eyes, Zhao Feiyan suddenly chuckled: "Since the Prince of Penglai doesn't want to negotiate, then this princess will go directly to talk to your father!"

After saying this, she raised the reins in her hand and prepared to go to the palace.

But Chu Ning smiled contemptuously: "You can't even pass this test of the king, and you still want to go to the emperor? Do you think the emperor will see you?"

"Whether I can meet you or not is not up to you!" Zhao Feiyan sneered and did not believe Chu Ning's words.

"is it?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "My father gave me full authority to handle this matter. Now I feel that you are not sincere in the peace talks. I have just sent someone to tell my father about what happened today. Do you think my father will still see you?"

"You..." Zhao Feiyan was so angry that her face turned blue. She stared at Chu Ning: "You are despicable and shameless!"

Chu Ning shook his head and pretended to be speechless: "Even if the peace talks fail, you can't curse me. When it comes to being despicable and shameless, I am not as good as you, Princess Feiyan. When are you going to pay me back the two hundred thousand taels of silver you owe me?"

"I..." Zhao Feiyan was about to explain.

But Chu Ning didn't give her a chance to speak and interrupted, "Okay, stop quibbling, I don't want to hear your explanation.

Today's peace talks have failed. Next time you want to talk to me, you must bring silver with you. Otherwise, I don't want to waste my time on you!"

After saying this, he turned around and rode away in the surprised eyes of everyone.

By the time Zhao Feiyan reacted, Chu Ning had already ridden his horse for a distance and disappeared from her sight.

"Is this the sincerity of your Great Chu's peace talks?"

Zhao Feiyan stared at He Peng and Wang Wenguang, and said in a cold tone: "It seems that this princess needs to go and talk to your emperor in person!"

She didn't believe Chu Ning's words and she had to go to the palace!
