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

"Oh no, they are targeting us, let's go!"

Cao Zhang's face changed drastically when he saw the Qin army rushing towards him. He did not even bother to join forces with Wu San Tong to resist them. He immediately rode away with his men.

By the time Wu San Tong reacted, Cao Zhang was already dozens of meters away from him.

"Damn you, you're running away at this time. Is there any use in running now?"

Wu Santong was furious: "Everyone defend yourself, I will go to Chu Ning to discuss!"

He believed that Cao Zhang could not escape, and the only way was to join forces to resist.

As long as we can find a way to convince Chu Ning and the three parties join forces, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

"Gee~" Wu San Tong rode his horse and headed straight for the valley with several of his personal soldiers.

Inside the valley, the Chu army was on high alert, with many sentries at the entrance.

Seeing a warhorse coming this way, someone immediately blocked the way and shouted loudly: "Stop!"

Wu Santong shouted, "I have something important to discuss with the King of Chu. Please get out of the way. If you delay important matters, you will all die here."

As he spoke, the warhorse had already rushed forward.

Seeing that there were only a few people around the other side, the Chu army did not make things difficult for them. They all moved aside and let them in.

Such a small number of people definitely could not pose a threat to Chu Ning. In addition, the Qin army outside had already launched an attack, and they all saw it.

Soon, Wu San Tong arrived in the valley.

Chu Ning, who was commanding the troops, saw Wu San Tong coming and a look of amusement appeared on his face.

It's true that there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you come to it!

While thinking, Wu Santong jumped on his horse and said in a deep voice: "King of Chu, the Qin army has 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the valley, waiting for us to get out and capture us in one fell swoop!"

"If we fight alone, we will definitely be defeated one by one. Only by joining forces can we have a chance of survival."

As soon as Chu Ning finished speaking, Chu Kuang couldn't help but cursed;

"How dare you come to us to join forces? If you hadn't ambushed us here, how could the situation have turned out like this!"

Wu Santong’s face changed, and he quickly explained: “Your Highness Chu Kuang, I was deceived by Yan Wuji, so I led people to ambush.

If I have offended you, I would like to pay my respects to you two."

As he spoke, he bowed with a look of sincerity.

Your life is about to end, can you be less polite?

Face is not worth mentioning compared to life.

Chu Kuang sneered: "You regret it now, but what did you do before? Humph, you are a good friend of my eighteenth brother and the Empress of the Zhou Dynasty, but you still did such a thing."

Wu Santong's eyes lit up, and he quickly took over the topic: "Yes, for the sake of the empress, I hope you two adults will be magnanimous and put aside your past grudges and join forces with me to resist the Qin army together!"

This guy is really anxious, he can even say such words.

Chu Kuang was about to refuse, but Chu Ning suddenly reached out to stop him and said calmly:

"Brother Thirteen, although I am angry with this man, there are so many Qin troops outside, and we cannot get through this barrier by ourselves."

When Chu Kuang saw Chu Ning speak, he stepped back tactfully and said, "Alright, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you say."

Chu Ning nodded slightly, then turned to look at Wu Santong and asked, "Do you know the exact number of Qin troops outside the valley, their combat effectiveness, and who is leading them?"

That’s a promise!

If he didn't agree, Chu Ning would never ask these questions.

Wu Santong was overjoyed and said quickly, "The Qin army has about 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they are the soldiers guarding Yangcheng. The word Meng is written on the flag, and it should be the famous Qin general Meng Tian!"

It's him!

Montaigne!

The Qin State had several famous generals. Apart from General Bai Qi, Montaigne was the most powerful and was deeply trusted by Ying Zheng.

It was precisely because Montaigne was trusted that Ying Zheng entrusted this man with the important task of guarding Yangcheng.

"It seems that Ying deliberately doesn't want us to go back."

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across his face: "Sending this person to surround and kill us must be an attempt to capture us all in one fell swoop."

"At that time, Qin can announce to the outside world that I was ambushed and killed by the three of you. Qin captured the three of you in order to give an explanation to Chu."

"What a great move! Killing four birds with one stone! As expected of the Emperor of Qin, he is really ruthless!"

At this moment, Chu Ning deeply understood the emperor's thoughts.

Maximize your profits!

Let them fight to the death, and in the end it will be the Qin Dynasty that reaps the benefits.

Wu Santong nodded repeatedly while thinking: "Yes, this is what the Great Qin Emperor wants. He wants to keep us all here!"

"So, we can only join forces. If we attack one by one, we will only become the souls killed by the Qin army."

"There is no time to lose. Your Highness the King of Chu should send your men out to fight as soon as possible!"

Wu San Tong was very anxious.

He and the Wei army are outside. If he goes too late and fails to hold on, then everything will be over.

But Chu Ning looked at Wu San Tong calmly and chuckled, "Don't be in a hurry. Before we go to fight the enemy, let's settle the account between you and me first."

Wu Santong was stunned.

Settle accounts?

Are we still settling accounts at this time?

Could it be that Chu Ning has some resentment in his heart and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits?

Thinking of this, Wu Santong nodded quickly: "Your Highness, Prince Chu, please feel free to ask for anything. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

His life is almost gone, so what good would it do to give Chu Ning some benefits?

As long as you can save your life, money is just an external thing.

But Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, his whole body filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly:

"My request is very simple, that is to lend you your head!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his hand, and the surrounding archers drew their bows and arrows and shot at Wu San Tong and the soldiers around him.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Dense and sharp arrows whizzed towards us!

"Not good, protect His Highness!" The personal guards formed a human wall and stood in front of Wu San Tong.

But there were too many sharp arrows and the soldiers kept falling down.

Wu Santong was furious and roared, "Why, why did you do this!"

He didn't understand. The two of them had a clear chance of winning if they joined forces, so why did Chu Ning still want to kill him?

Chu Ning looked at the bodies that kept falling and sneered, "Don't you understand? Even without you, I can still control the troops under your command!"

"Don't forget, I have a friendship with the Empress of your dynasty, but because of your presence, they dare not disobey your orders."

"So, only by killing you can I control the Zhou Dynasty soldiers under your command."

As soon as these words came out, Wu San Tong felt hopeless.

No matter how much I planned, I never expected this.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the soldiers around him had been shot dead, and several sharp arrows whistled towards him.

"Puff~Puff~"

"Ah~"

Amid screams, Wu San Tong was shot into a sieve. His body, riddled with arrows, fell to the ground, his eyes filled with nostalgia for this world.

Chu Ning looked at Wu San Tong's body coldly and said in a deep voice, "Cut off his head. It will be useful to me later!"
