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

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, Chu Ning should have seen through your thoughts."

Gan Long looked at the stalemate and said in a deep voice, "He wants to use General Montaigne as a bargaining chip to protect him from leaving our dynasty."

"Since he has already taken precautions, my other plans will probably not work. We might as well just agree to his request."

"If we delay any longer, the sky will darken. If Chu Ning gets desperate, who knows if they will rush towards you, Your Majesty, in the chaos of the fight."

Ying Zheng's face changed slightly when he heard this.

There are about five thousand people behind Chu Ning now, and his imperial guards also have five thousand people.

Although the Qin army inside will also be silhouetted during the fight, don't forget that Chu Ning has white horse cavalry beside him.

He had witnessed the fighting power of this cavalry with his own eyes. It was extremely powerful, and the imperial guards around him might not be able to stop the enemy's charge.

Plus, there's Zhao Yu, a top-notch master. If he really attacks, he may not be able to handle it.

If something goes wrong and he is killed on the spot by Zhao Yu, it would be a waste of time and effort.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "This is the only way."

Gan Long breathed a sigh of relief: "Let me speak for you on this matter."

He knew that Ying Zheng was concerned about his reputation and certainly didn't want to admit defeat in front of everyone, so he was the only one who could handle the matter.

He turned to look at Chu Ning and said loudly: "Your Highness, King Chu, it is not a good idea to continue to be in a stalemate. The sky is getting dark. How about you take your troops and leave?"

"However, you must ensure the safety of General Montaigne, otherwise my dynasty will seek justice even if we have to go to war with you!"

After these words were spoken, Huo Quji and Cao Zhang's faces looked a little ugly.

They never dreamed that Ying Zheng would actually admit defeat one day.

That was the Emperor of the Great Qin, the emperor of the most powerful country in the world.

You actually compromised like this?

The two looked at each other, and there was even a hint of surprise in their eyes.

At this moment, Chu Kuang laughed loudly: "It would have been done earlier, why drag it on until now."

Only Chu Ning looked calm, not surprised by this, and said slowly: "Prime Minister Gan, please rest assured, I always keep my promises."

"Besides, Montaigne is just a defeated general of mine. If I can defeat him once, I can defeat him countless times!"

"Now tell your people to make way!"

Ying Zheng must be in a very bad mood at the moment. In order to avoid any further complications, Chu Ning simply stopped talking to Ying Zheng.

After all, Ying Zheng is a very face-conscious person, and making concessions is already his limit. If he loses face again, he will definitely retaliate against him.

Gan Long secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chu Ning did not mention his own emperor. Then he waved his hand and said in a deep voice:

“Make way!”

At an order, the imperial guards made way for a path.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Take Montaigne away!"

The Chu army immediately took action.

However, Chu Ning did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Huo Quji and the other three, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Thank you all for your help this time, but on the way back, you should all be careful."

After hearing this, Ji Yinghao's expression changed slightly: "Does His Royal Highness the King of Chu think that Ying Zheng will take action again?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "After suffering such a big loss, Ying Zheng must be feeling aggrieved. God knows if he will take it out on you."

Cao Zhang was shocked by these words: "If I had known this, I should have let me take Montaigne away!"

Chu Ning laughed: "Don't panic, I was just joking. Okay, it's getting late, everyone, goodbye!"

"drive!"

Chu Ning turned his horse around and left quickly.

Things on the Qin side have been almost dealt with, and now it’s time to deal with another more important matter.

Of course, before that, he had to get out of danger completely.

As long as he does not leave Qin, he will not be safe.

Huo Quji looked at Chu Ning's departing back, a solemn expression appeared on his face, and he said slowly:

"He should be the first person to take advantage of the Qin Emperor, right?"

Cao Zhang snorted coldly: "So what? Do you think the Emperor of Qin will let him go?"

"Even if he took Montaigne away, he would be attacked by the Qin army the moment he handed him over."

Cao Zhang knew very well the character of the Qin Emperor. He was definitely not someone who would suffer any loss.

As long as Chu Ning handed over Meng Tian, the Qin army would launch an attack even if they had already reached the border.

Huo Quji chuckled when he heard this: "He thought that he could save his life by bringing Montaigne with him, but he didn't know that if this matter got out, it would be his death warrant."

After saying that, he bowed to everyone and said, "Everyone, take care of yourselves!"

After saying this, Huo Quji left with the Han envoys and their troops.

Seeing this, Cao Zhang snorted coldly, said nothing, and immediately took his men away quickly.

He had the fewest people on the scene, so of course he didn't dare to stay here for long.

Ji Yinghao looked at the two people who left, sighed, and bowed to Li Ping: "It is not suitable to stay here for long, let's leave quickly."

Li Ping nodded slightly: "Goodbye!"

After saying this, the two men left with their troops.

The originally bustling battlefield became deserted in the blink of an eye, with only the imperial guards and Montaigne's troops left.

Ying Zheng had a gloomy face and stared at the direction where Chu Ning left, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Of course he wouldn't let Chu Ning leave so easily!

The murderous intent towards Chu Ning was almost overwhelming his mind.

"Send an order to all cities along the way to keep a close eye on Chu Ning's whereabouts!"

"Pass the order, the frontline troops are ready. Once General Montaigne is released, no need to ask for instructions, immediately take action and kill Chu Ning!"

"Order all the Black Ice Stage masters to clear out the spies in the city, no matter which dynasty they are from, clear them all!"

Gan Long was not surprised by the first two orders, but the last one made him break out in a cold sweat.

Eliminate all spies. This is something that will only be done when war breaks out.

Could it be that the emperor wants to start a war?

Gan Long's face changed drastically: "Your Majesty, why do we need to eliminate spies? If our dynasty does this, other dynasties will definitely know about the spies planted by our dynasty."

It was a well-known fact that each dynasty had spies arranged for the other side, but each dynasty tacitly refrained from taking action.

If the Qin Dynasty was the first to break the tacit understanding, other dynasties would naturally follow suit.

But Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "I must kill Chu Ning. If I kill him, Chu will definitely go to war with my dynasty, so I must eliminate the spies in advance!"

"We let Chu Ning go only because of his status as an envoy. Once he releases General Montaigne and crosses the border, he will no longer be an envoy."

"If we kill him then, I'm sure people in the world won't think that our dynasty killed the envoy."

It turned out that this was the real reason why he let Chu Ning go.

Saving Montaigne was just one of the reasons.

Gan Long sighed upon hearing this. He knew he could not stop this, so he could only say in a deep voice:

"If a war is to start, our dynasty must prepare in advance!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "I'll leave the food and military pay to you, Prime Minister!"

This time, Ying Zheng is determined to kill you!
