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

What happened in the city made Chu Ning look a little ugly.

If the news did not spread, he could indeed pretend that he knew nothing and refuse to go to Qin.

But now the news has spread throughout the entire Kyoto City, and everyone knows that he has promised Princess Changping something and owes her a favor.

Now that he has been invited to go to the State of Qin, if he refuses, he will surely be ridiculed for being untrustworthy.

People cannot stand without faith!

Once you lose trust, it will be difficult for you to become a prince, let alone a crown prince.

Who on earth asked the messenger to pass the message?

Chu Ning had a gloomy face and looked extremely ugly.

He is not afraid of a strong opponent, but he is afraid that the opponent will start from this aspect and destroy his credibility.

He is not afraid of anyone when fighting with real guns and knives.

But if they attack his personal credibility, they would be trying to destroy him completely.

While he was deep in thought, a guard came to report: "Your Highness, the messenger from Qin has arrived."

"Humph, let him in!"

A moment later, the Qin messenger arrived, covered in dust.

"I have met His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"You are so brave!"

Chu Ning walked up to the messenger, his face full of murderous intent, and said, "How dare you spread news about me in the city? What? Do you think I dare not kill you?"

The murderous words frightened the messenger so much that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

"Your Highness, the King of Chu, I am only following orders. I hope you will be magnanimous and spare my life."

The messenger was terrified, fearing that Chu Ning would really kill him.

If it were in the past, he would definitely not have had such an idea, but when he was spreading the news just now, he heard about the situation in the city in the past few days.

How could he not be afraid when he learned that Chu Ning had killed the third prince supported by the emperor?

A man who dares to kill even the prince is afraid of killing a small messenger?

In panic, Chu Ning asked coldly, "Who asked you to spread the news in the city?"

The messenger hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It's the son of Duke Wu'an, Bai Zong, Marquis of Songyuan!"

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows.

He didn't even know this person.

"Do you know why he spread this?"

"This this……"

"Say it!"

"Your Highness, the King of Chu, Marquis Songyuan has always liked Princess Changping, but Princess Changping doesn't seem to be interested in him."

The messenger answered cautiously: "I don't know where the Marquis of Songyuan got the news, but he learned that Princess Changping and you had made an agreement in the Han Dynasty, so he thinks there is a secret between you and Princess Changping."

"So, he wants you to go to Qin to put an end to it all, and he also wants to marry Princess Changping in front of you."

After these words were spoken, Jia Yu and the other four were speechless.

They thought of many possibilities, and even considered that Qin was intervening in the internal affairs of Chu.

But none of them expected that this was caused by Chu Ning's personal affairs.

Even Chu Ning himself was a little dumbfounded at this moment.

After all this fuss, it turned out that Bai Zong, that short-sighted guy, was jealous.

For a woman, he made such a big fuss.

Judging from the situation, if he doesn't go to Qin, the other party will definitely come up with other shady tricks.

This feeling of being remembered by others is very bad.

It was as if there was a pair of cold eyes in the darkness, always watching him, and ready to use a deadly move to cause trouble for him when he was least prepared.

For such people, either make things clear and both parties can make the matter smaller.

Either kill the opponent and make sure he never has a chance to attack.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Didn't they say that Princess Changping was looking for a husband? There should be a lot of people going. Why does the Marquis of Songyuan only hate me?"

The messenger laughed awkwardly: "Of course it's because Your Highness the King of Chu is famous and is the most advantageous competitor."

"Besides, everyone in our dynasty knows that Marquis Songyuan likes Princess Changping. Who dares to compete with him?"

"And Marquis Songyuan also knows that Princess Changping has always been thinking about you, so he wants to take this opportunity to put an end to this matter once and for all."

This statement is reasonable.

"Alright, I understand. You can go down and rest, but you are not allowed to pass on any more messages!"

Chu Ning looked displeased and waved his hand to signal the messenger to leave.

The messenger felt relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and left.

Chu Ning turned around and looked at everyone, and asked, "Everyone, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Jia Yu and others looked at each other, each with an embarrassed look on their face.

This matter involves private matters, so they dare not say anything.

Although they all wanted to persuade Chu Ning not to go to Qin, they didn't dare to speak at this time.

Seeing that no one was talking, Chu Ning showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face.

To be honest, he definitely didn't want to go to Qin at this time.

But now the news has gotten out. If he doesn't repay Princess Changping's favor and fulfill his promise, he will be criticized even if he becomes the crown prince in the future.

If you can't even do what you say in life, how can you live in the future?

If you can’t even be a human being, how can you be a prince, or even an emperor?

Thinking of this, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and a ruthless look flashed across his face: "It seems that I have to go to Qin State!"

Jia Yu's expression changed slightly: "Your Highness, don't jump to conclusions. Why not wait until today to see the situation in the city?"

"If people don't have much to say about this, Your Highness, you don't have to go to Qin in person. You can just send someone over."

Even Zhao Yu advised, "Yes, Your Highness should wait a while and not jump to conclusions."

"Now that His Majesty has agreed to make you the crown prince, if you leave at this critical moment, wouldn't that mean you're handing over such a good situation to someone else?"

Although he is a military general, Zhao Yu is meticulous and he does not want Chu Ning to go to Qin at this time.

The current Kyoto City has just experienced several periods of turmoil, and it is in need of stabilizing the situation. Taking this opportunity, perhaps we can gain the support of many officials.

If I leave now, I won't be able to accomplish many things, and other princes will take advantage of me.

But Chu Ning shook his head when he heard this: "As for the matters in the city, I am very relieved with you guys here."

"The Marquis of Songyuan is so deliberate. If I don't go, he will continue to attack."

"So, this trip to Qin State, I must go!"

After a pause, Chu Ning looked at the four people and said, "I will leave the affairs in the city to you. I will also inform my father and transfer Lord Deng back to be in charge of the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince."

Seeing Chu Ning's firm attitude, Jia Yu sighed and said, "If Your Highness really wants to go to Qin, take General Zhao with you. General Zhao can protect Your Highness's safety."

But Chu Ning was a little hesitant: "If Zhao Yu goes to Zhao State with me, who will guard the capital city?"

Although we have to leave, we cannot give up the good situation in Kyoto City.

"We can only ask General Guan Yun to return to Kyoto City!"

Jia Yu said in a deep voice: "There is no war in Zhao State. With General Han Xing there, it will be safe. General Guan can be transferred back!"

Chu Ning thought about it, then nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

"I will write a memorial first and send someone to deliver it to my father later. I will leave for Qin tomorrow!"

"As for the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, it will be held on the Lantern Festival!"
