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

"The whole army was wiped out. How is this possible?"

The next day, Ying Zheng received the news that all the masters of the Black Ice Platform had been wiped out.

Ying Zheng's voice of shock and anger was heard from the Xianyang Palace.

He thought of many possibilities, even the possibility of failure, but the only thing he had not thought of was the possibility of total annihilation.

He can accept failure, but cannot accept total annihilation.

"Your Majesty, they were well prepared and set up an ambush with crossbows. We were caught completely off guard."

The expert who came to report said in a deep voice: "After this battle, the Black Ice Platform lost most of its combat power. It will not be able to control the world situation as before within two years."

The Black Ice Platform has always been used for surveillance and intelligence gathering. There are many people there not only in other dynasties, but also in the territory of Daqin.

But now their most elite troops have been wiped out and cannot be replenished in a short period of time, so their effectiveness will certainly be greatly reduced.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's face was extremely gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Send a message to General Sima Cuo at the front line, and ask him to shoot Chu Ning after receiving General Montaigne!"

"Remember, if Chu's army dares to shoot Chu Ning, our army will immediately counterattack!"

"If we can't shoot Chu Ning, the Chu army will also take action, and our army will also fight back."

In a word, as long as the Chu army takes action, the Qin army will have a legitimate reason to do so.

"Yes!" the soldier responded and immediately went down to pass the message.

Time is too tight. With Chu Ning's marching speed, he will most likely reach the front line tonight. The news must be delivered as soon as possible by carrier pigeon.

Ying Zheng stared at the empty hall, a cold look flashed in his eyes: "This time, I want to see how you deal with it."

After ambushing the master of the Black Ice Platform, Chu Ning must be very proud now. He would never have thought that he would take action after bringing Montaigne back.

This time it was his turn to catch Chu Ning off guard!

And he has a legitimate reason.

Soon, a carrier pigeon flew out of the Xianyang Palace and headed straight for the border between Qin and Yan.

After flying for a day and a night, the carrier pigeon finally arrived at the front line.

The border between Qin and Yan was a vast expanse of grassland, with Qin's military camp stationed in the middle.

The night, which should have been completely silent, was now brightly lit with torches and bonfires everywhere.

This was not only the case in the Qin State, but also in the territory of the Yan State across the way, there was a large area of flickering torches.

The two armies were facing each other on the border, and the air was filled with murderous atmosphere.

Both armies were waiting, they were waiting for Chu Ning and Montaigne to arrive.

Inside the Qin army camp, a middle-aged man in his forties was wearing armor, with a firm face and a murderous look in his eyes that was unique to a soldier!

This person is none other than Sima Cuo, the general who is guarding this place!

At this moment, a soldier came forward to report: "General, His Majesty has sent a letter by carrier pigeon!"

Sima Cuo did not say anything, but stretched out his right hand, and the soldier immediately handed the letter to him.

Sima Cuo took the letter, opened it, and a solemn look appeared on his resolute face.

It seems that Your Majesty is preparing to go to war with the State of Chu!

Sima Cuo's eyes turned cold, and he immediately ordered: "Have the archers ready, stand by in the second phalanx, and wait for my orders at any time!"

At the command, the Qin army camp began to adjust.

This scene was also seen clearly by the Chu army on the opposite side.

Ran Ming, who was standing on horseback in front of the battle formation, frowned and pointed at the Qin army camp and said, "Military Advisor, why do you think the Qin army is starting to mobilize?"

Su Tingmei, who was wearing a black robe and holding a feather fan, chuckled and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is coming soon."

Just as he finished speaking, a cavalryman rode up to report: "Military Advisor, General Ran Ming, there is news from His Highness, he will arrive in a quarter of an hour."

Ran Ming's eyes lit up and he laughed, "The military advisor has indeed made every possible effort. Come on, get ready, be alert, don't lose face, let His Highness see that we are all good people!"

At the command, all the soldiers of Yunzhou held their heads high and chests puffed out, as if waiting for Chu Ning to come for inspection.

This time they defeated the Yan army, killed the Yan general, and marched straight into the heartland of Yan, and were about to destroy Yan. This was a huge achievement.

It just so happened that the King of Chu was passing by, so of course they had to line up and welcome him with all their might.

Soon, a quarter of an hour later, a troop of soldiers came from afar.

The constantly moving torches made it possible to see their whereabouts clearly at a glance.

"It must be His Highness coming down!"

Ran Ming was overjoyed: "Everyone get ready to welcome His Highness!"

Having not seen each other for more than half a year, Ran Ming couldn't wait to see Chu Ning.

On this side, Sima Cuo waved his hand and said, "Make way for them and let them pass!"

Montaigne is still in Chu Ning's hands, and the two sides have not fallen out yet, so the courtesy still needs to be observed.

The Qin army's square formation suddenly split into two, leaving a path. Chu Ning led his troops along this road and arrived in front of the Qin army's formation.

Looking at Chu Ning, who looked so heroic, Sima Cuo bowed and said, "Sima Cuo greets His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Chu Ning looked the man up and down, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I have heard of General Sima Cuo's name for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet him."

"After meeting him today, I can see that he is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is indeed as famous as General Montaigne!"

Sima Cuo still looked calm and said, "Your Highness, the King of Chu, you are too kind. I have also heard that Your Highness is the most talented person in the world. After meeting you today, I can see that hearing about you is worse than seeing you in person."

The words of both parties seem ordinary, but they are full of mysteries.

Chu Ning praised Sima Cuo, but deliberately mentioned Montaigne, just to tell the Qin army that Montaigne was still in his hands.

Sima Cuo mentioned the most talented man in the world because he wanted to tell Chu Ning that Chu and Wei still had a blood debt and they could not offend Qin again.

Otherwise, how could Chu deal with Qin and Wei at the same time?

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at Sima Cuo deeply, feeling that the person in front of him was not an easy person to deal with.

Just then, Ran Ming and Su Tingmei came riding on horses with a small group of people.

"Your Highness!" Ran Ming shouted.

Sima Cuo's expression changed slightly: "General Ran Ming, stop!"

The Qin army behind him immediately waved their weapons in unison, ready to attack.

Chu Ning stretched out his hand to signal Ran Ming to stop: "Don't be in a hurry. It won't be too late to reminisce after I have completed the handover with General Sima Cuo."

"Someone, bring General Montaigne up!"

Four soldiers escorted Montaigne forward.

At this moment, Montaigne was dishevelled and looked a little unhappy. In addition, he was tied up and unable to move.

This scene made the Qin army furious. Some of them could no longer hold back and were ready to attack with their weapons tightly grasped.

Sima Cuo's face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "Behave yourself!"

The reprimanded Qin army could only glare at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning laughed when he saw this: "I'm sorry that General Montaigne has been wronged these days, but from today on, General Montaigne won't have to suffer anymore."

Montaigne snorted coldly, turned his head away and said nothing.

Sima Cuo said in a deep voice: "Your Highness the King of Chu, can you release him now?"

He couldn't wait to bring Montaigne back and was ready to shoot Chu Ning!
