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

Princess Changping returned to her bedroom, but a look of worry appeared on her face.

Based on her understanding of her father, she could see where things would develop if her father took action.

But now her father did not take any action, but he looked confident of victory, and this was what she was most worried about.

But now she is locked up, she knows nothing and cannot spread any news.

Now she can only wait for news in the palace and can do nothing else.

On the other side, there is the Chu State Posthouse.

After Chu Ning led everyone back, he ordered everyone to rest and pack their bags to prepare to leave Yangcheng in two days.

During these two days, there was no movement inside or outside Yangcheng, just like the calm before the storm.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that a storm was about to come.

Two days passed in a flash, and soon it was time to agree.

It was a sunny day with a cloudless sky.

Chu Ning led the white horse cavalry and left from the gate of Yangcheng in a mighty manner.

Compared to the more than 2,000 people at that time, there are only more than 800 people left now.

All of the guards of the Eleventh Prince Chu Feng have been captured, and now only Chu Ning's own white horse cavalry were brought back.

The huge team moved quickly along the official road, as if they wanted to leave Yangcheng as soon as possible.

Chu Ning and Chu Kuang, who were in the lead, rode their horses quickly forward under the protection of a group of guards.

Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng stood at the entrance of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at the city gate with relief.

A moment later, Gan Long came to report: "Your Majesty, Chu Ning has left with his men."

"understood."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Calculating the time, those three people should be ready. With such a tight net, I want to see how Chu Ning will deal with it."

Gan Long's mind was moved: "Your Majesty means that Yan Wuji and the other two will take action against Chu Ning?"

"What do you think?" Ying Zheng glanced at Gan Long and said calmly, "These three people left two days ago. You don't really think they went back, do you?"

"If my guess is correct, they are already lying in ambush on the road, waiting for Chu Ning to pass by."

"In order not to alert the enemy, I didn't even send anyone to follow them. This time, I will let them fight each other!"

"If Chu Ning wins, it will be a tragic victory. Then we will send someone to kill him and put the blame on Yan Wuji and the other two!"

"If Chu Ning loses, I will take Yan Wuji and Cao Zhang and Wu Santong will give an explanation to the State of Chu."

"In a word, no matter whether Chu Ning wins or loses, I will remain invincible."

Only then did Gan Long realize that everything was under His Majesty's control.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to let Chu Ning leave, he deliberately created an opportunity for Yan Wuji and the other two to take action.

As long as the troops from all four directions take action, Qin will win regardless of winning or losing.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Gan Long smiled and said, "I was a little confused before, why you neither had any intention to take action nor sent anyone to keep an eye on them."

"It turns out that your majesty has a good plan in mind, and is just waiting for their troops to fight each other."

"Think about Chu Ning. He only has 800 people around him now. He has no chance of winning against the 3,000 people led by Yan Wuji and his three companions!"

Although Chu Ning's white horse cavalry was powerful, facing three times the number of troops and in an ambush, Chu Ning was no match at all.

This time, Chu Ning is definitely going to die!

A murderous look appeared on Ying Zheng's face: "Notify Heibingtai to keep a close eye on the situation outside the city. If any action is taken, notify me immediately!"

"Also, please do not submit any memorials today. I will handle this matter today."

"I understand!" Gan Long responded and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Today's matter is of great importance. Gan Long dared not neglect it and went down to handle it personally.

On the other side, Chu Ning led his troops and left quickly. After two hours of travel, they were already dozens of kilometers away from Yangcheng.

It was only then that Chu Ning ordered to increase the speed to full.

"The entire army should slow down and advance at an even speed, so that the horses can have a good rest."

At Chu Ning's command, the team began to slow down.

In the next two hours, the team arrived at a valley.

At this moment, night fell and the team stopped in the valley to cook.

The smoke from the cooking was rising, the aroma of rice was wafting in the air, and the whole team began to line up for their meals.

After a quarter of an hour, the White Horse Cavalry began to eat.

But at this moment, shouts of killing suddenly rang out from all directions of the valley.

Suddenly, all the retreat and entry routes on both sides of the valley were blocked, and countless figures rushed out from both sides of the valley.

"No, enemy attack!"

"Protect His Highness quickly!"

"Hold your shields, as the arrows are sharp!"

For a moment, the White Horse Cavalry was in chaos, but there were still people protecting Chu Ning and Chu Kuang.

At this moment, Chu Kuang was furious: "How dare someone ambush here? Who is so bold!"

Chu Ning's face was gloomy. "It seems that the other party is well prepared. Pass the order down, gather the troops and do not act rashly!"

"All shield bearers, gather together and block the enemy's sharp arrows."

"White Horse Cavalry, take up your muskets and shoot at the enemy troops in front and behind!"

"Those with hidden arrows, aim at the enemy troops rushing down from the left and right sides of the valley!"

As Chu Ning issued three orders, the White Horse Cavalry also began to move, and the chaos at the beginning became order.

After gathering their forces, the White Horse Cavalry quickly blocked the enemy's offensive.

The battlefield came to a stalemate.

Their pistols and sharp arrows were still able to kill the rushing enemy on the spot.

"Find out their identities!" Chu Ning ordered with a serious face.

"Let me go!" Chu Kuang said nothing and led his men to kill towards the valley nearby.

With a long knife in hand, Chu Kuang killed several people in a row and finally found a corpse.

He took a look at the armor on the other party and snorted coldly: "This is the armor worn by the Yan State envoys!"

"Go and report this to my eighteenth brother!"

"Yes!"

The messenger quickly returned to Chu Ning and reported: "Your Highness, the people on the left are from the Yan State delegation!"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, a hint of cruelty flashed across his eyes: "It turned out to be them, it seems that they are still determined to ambush me on the road!"

"However, looking at the number of soldiers and horses, it is impossible that they are the only ones!"

Just as he finished speaking, another soldier came forward to report: "Your Highness, the enemy troops on the right are from the State of Wei!"

Soon after, another soldier came to report: "Your Highness, there are soldiers from the Great Zhou in front and behind us!"

Chu Ning's face turned completely gloomy.

The envoys from the three kingdoms had a total of 3,000 people, and his 800 men were no match at all.

Although the White Horse Cavalry left, this place was a valley and was not suitable for a cavalry charge.

While he was deep in thought, Yan Wuji's voice came from the valley not far away: "Hahahaha, Chu Ning, tomorrow is the anniversary of your death!"

"If you know what's good for you, you can ask them to put down their weapons, and I will leave you with an intact body!"

Chu Ning turned and looked at the flickering torches in the distance, a ruthless look on his face:

"Are you so sure that you can kill me tonight?"
