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

The destruction of the Qin Iron Blue Hundred Man Team caused a sensation in Yangcheng.

In the next few days, the news spread throughout Yangcheng, and some angry Qin people even wanted to go to the post station to ask Chu Ning for an explanation.

But after seeing the neatly arranged and murderous white horse cavalry outside the post house, many people did not dare to take action.

Even if someone wants to take action, they will be subdued by the White Horse Cavalry in the first place.

These days, Chu Ning and others have been resting in the inn.

After gaining benefits from Princess Changping, he was no longer in a hurry.

On the contrary, Ying Zheng was keeping an eye on Chu Ning's movements.

Three days later, Xianyang Palace.

Inside the hall, Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, a pensive look on his face.

At this time, footsteps were heard and a thin old man came into the hall.

"Your Majesty, I am your humble servant!" Gan Long, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, bowed and saluted.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "What has Chu Ning been doing these days?"

Gan Long frowned and said, "There has been no movement, and no one has been sent to the city to gather information, let alone contact Princess Changping."

"Ok?"

Ying Zheng showed a look of surprise on his face: "It would be fine if he didn't send anyone to get information, but he didn't even contact Changping?"

"Could it be that they are secretly communicating without our noticing?"

His first reaction was that Chu Ning used a special method to contact Princess Changping.

But Gan Long said confidently, "It's impossible. Our people from Black Ice Terrace have been keeping an eye on the posthouse. Any movement will not be hidden from their eyes."

"Besides, there are people watching Princess Changping. She has been practicing martial arts in the palace these days and has no signs of contacting Chu Ning."

"On the contrary, Songyuan Hou Bai Zong has received quite a few people in the past few days, and has been trying to win them over to join forces to deal with Chu Ning."

Speaking of Bai Zong, Gan Long showed a look of regret on his face.

With Bai Zong's status and position, he is the most suitable candidate to marry Princess Changping.

However, because of the battle on the parade ground, the hundred-man team was completely wiped out, which dealt a heavy blow to Bai Zong.

Even the officials in the court who originally supported Bai Zong's marriage to Princess Changping are now somewhat shaken.

While thinking, Ying Zheng chuckled: "As a young man, it is normal for you to be more aggressive. If you hold back your anger, can you still be called a young man?"

"Since he wants to fight Chu Ning, I am happy to see it happen. Otherwise, I can't possibly marry Princess Changping to that kid Chu Ning, right?"

Although he had a good feeling towards Chu Ning, he was the prince of Chu after all, and he didn't want to marry his most beloved daughter to him.

What's more, the State of Chu is now in its heyday, and its national strength has even increased greatly after destroying the State of Zhao. There are signs that it will compete with the Qin Dynasty.

There might be conflicts between the two dynasties in the future. How could he marry his daughter to a potential rival?

Bai Zong is worthy of Changping in terms of both identity and status. As long as he can unite with others to suppress Chu Ning this time, perhaps Changping will look at him with admiration.

"I understand!" Gan Long bowed, turned around and left.

The emperor stared at Gan Long's departing back and said calmly, "Bai Zong, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. If you can't grasp it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Although he wanted Princess Changping to marry Bai Zong, if Bai Zong didn't live up to his expectations, he couldn't blame anyone else.

After all, this marriage proposal is open to all dynasties, and young talents from other dynasties will come. If Bai Zong does not seize the opportunity, Princess Changping will have to marry someone else.

At this time, Bai Zong was planning his revenge.

Human building.

Located on the most prosperous street in Yangcheng, it is usually very lively with people coming and going.

But today, this place is very deserted, and there are more than a dozen soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons guarding the door.

From time to time, young men in gorgeous brocade clothes would enter the building.

At this moment, more than a dozen young people have gathered in the private room on the top floor.

If Chu Ning were here, he would definitely find that there was someone he knew among them.

In addition to the eleventh and twelfth princes of the Chu Dynasty, there is also the champion marquis Huo Quji of the Han Dynasty, and the eldest prince Ji Yinghao of the Jin State!

The others were all young talents from other dynasties, including some princes.

When almost everyone arrived, the eleventh prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Everyone is almost here, why hasn't Marquis Songyuan arrived yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hearty laugh appeared at the door: "Sorry, I'm late!"

Then, Bai Zong's figure appeared in everyone's eyes.

The Eleventh Prince snorted coldly: "You invited all of us here, don't you want us to wait for you?"

"of course not!"

Bai Zong smiled and said, "I invited you all this time mainly to inform you that the marriage proposal will be held in the evening three days from now."

"At that time, His Majesty will ask a few difficult questions, and the winner will enter the final selection stage. He will need to be recognized by His Majesty and Princess Changping before he can become a consort."

After these words came out, the twelfth prince Ji couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what kind of problem the emperor of the Qin Dynasty will come up with?"

Bai Zong shook his head: "This matter concerns the lifelong happiness of Princess Changping, and this marquis does not know it either."

Believe it or not!

The twelfth prince secretly thought in his heart, everyone knows that you are a seeded player, and the Emperor of Qin will definitely tell you the difficult problems in advance.

If you don’t want to say it, just say it!

Of course, this cannot be said out loud, otherwise the two sides will become enemies.

At this time, Ji Yinghao suddenly asked, "If it was just to inform us of this matter, Songyuan Hou shouldn't have invited us here, right?"

Everyone reacted immediately.

Yes, if you just want to notify them, just send someone to tell them directly.

Bai Zong glanced at Ji Yinghao and said in a deep voice: "So it's the eldest prince of Jin. To be honest, I asked you to come here to tell you that Princess Changping actually likes Chu Ning!

This time, it is called a marriage proposal, but in fact it is to give Chu Ning a chance. Once Chu Ning can pass the test, Princess Changping will definitely choose him. "

As soon as these words came out, a young man in blue clothes became furious, slammed his palm on the table, and roared:

"Impossible! If Princess Changping likes Chu Ning, why would she ask us to come here?"

Bai Zong shook his head: "Prince Wu, there is no need to be angry. Just listen to me and I will tell you slowly."

"In fact, Princess Changping has always been against getting married, but she couldn't resist the pressure from the Emperor and the royal family, so she agreed."

"But even so, she instructed His Majesty to invite Chu Ning to participate, and even personally took Chu Ning to the posthouse after he entered the city."

"All signs indicate that there is indeed some friendship between the two. If Chu Ning can really pass the test, Princess Changping will definitely choose him!"

After these words were spoken, everyone at the scene looked a little unhappy.

Even Huo Quji narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful.

The Eleventh Prince and the Twelfth Prince frowned and looked at each other, their eyes filled with unwillingness.

Chu Ning has been named the crown prince. If he can marry Princess Changping, his position as crown prince will be as secure as a rock.

And they won't have any chance!

"No, we must not let Chu Ning pass!" The Eleventh Prince had a gloomy face and was the first to break the silence.
