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

"General Simacuo, although I promised to release him, you and I are too close now."

Chu Ning said calmly: "How about this, let's release him after I'm a little further away."

Sima Cuo's expression changed slightly: "If I let you take Montaigne away, what if you don't let him go?"

"presumptuous!"

Chu Kuang glared: "How dare you question us!"

Sima Cuo shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not that I doubt it, it's the fact. Besides, I have heard of the great name of His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

These words made Chu Ning raise his eyebrows.

Wow, I didn’t expect his reputation to spread everywhere.

Fortunately, he came prepared this time.

"How about this? I won't make things difficult for General Sima. You let me and my soldiers get to ten feet away first, and then I'll release them. How do you think?"

Chu Ning pretended to compromise and made concessions.

Sima Cuo hesitated for a moment, knowing that he could not delay any longer, otherwise, if he insisted, it would be disadvantageous to them.

After all, Montaigne is still in Chu Ning's hands.

Thinking of this, Sima Cuo made a prompt decision: "Okay, I will trust the King of Chu just once!"

Chu Ning laughed: "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for Sima Cuo."

He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, hurry up!"

At the command, everyone took Montaigne and rushed quickly towards the Chu army.

The distance of ten zhang is thirty meters, and the infantry can reach it with a charge.

Seeing that they were about to reach the ten-foot mark, Sima Cuo could not help but shout, "Your Highness, the King of Chu, can you please let me go?"

Chu Ning laughed: "Come here, let General Montaigne go back."

The two soldiers who were holding Montaigne let him go. Montaigne snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the Qin army.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a Qin army archer shot a sharp arrow whistling towards Chu Ning.

"How dare you sneak attack His Highness! Someone, shoot!"

Zhao Yu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He swung his spear and knocked down the sharp arrow, roaring at the same time.

Suddenly, the Yunzhou soldiers behind him shot out a row of sharp arrows in unison.

Chu Ning and others immediately rushed towards the Yunzhou troops, and a group of soldiers holding shields also rushed towards Chu Ning.

On the other hand, Sima Cuo, the Qin army, was furious when he saw that someone had already shot arrows before he gave the order:

"Whoever ruins this will do good!"

But just as he finished his words, a huge number of sharp arrows whistled towards him.

"Shield in hand, shield in hand!"

"Archers strike back!"

"Someone, go and protect General Montaigne!"

Sima Cuo issued three orders in succession, and the Qin army immediately took action.

However, before the soldiers could reach Montaigne, the arrow had already fallen.

The pupils of Meng Tian's eyes shrank as he was tied up, and he quickly rolled to the ground, trying to avoid the sharp arrows of the Chu army.

As expected of a general who had fought on the battlefield, he remained calm in times of crisis.

But there were so many falling arrows that he dodged some, but some still hit him.

If he had not been tied up, Montaigne could have relied on his own weakness to dodge, but now he was tied up and had no way to avoid the sharp arrows.

Looking at the whistling arrows, Montaigne roared: "Chun Ning, you despicable and shameless villain!"

Amidst the roar, the sharp arrow shot it into a hedgehog.

A famous general fell here!

The roar also alarmed Sima Cuo. He was dodging the sharp arrows and quickly turned around, just in time to see Montaigne's horrible corpse.

"Damn it, they actually killed General Montaigne!"

Sima Cuo was a little furious, but he didn't know how to respond.

This is totally inconsistent with what Ying Zheng explained.

They originally wanted to let the Chu army take action first, and then they would have a legitimate reason to attack.

But now they took action after Chu Ning released Montaigne. If they go to war with the State of Chu, it will be without any justification.

Once he takes action, he will bear all the consequences.

While he was hesitating, Chu Ning on the opposite side had already returned to the camp under the protection of the shield bearer. He waved his hand and signaled the archers to stop.

Seeing this, Sima Cuo also ordered: "Archers, stop attacking!"

Chu Ning shouted loudly: "General Sima, I have already let General Meng Tian go back, why are you shooting arrows at me?"

Sima Cuo frowned: "Your Highness, this is a misunderstanding. Now that General Montaigne is dead, I need to report this to His Majesty as soon as possible. Please stay here for a few days."

Such a big thing happened, and he was unable to capture Chu Ning, so he could only find a way to keep Chu Ning.

Everything will be reported to the emperor before deciding whether to go to war.

But Chu Ning shook his head and said in a deep voice: "General Sima is so unreasonable. It was obviously you who started it first. I was just forced to fight back."

"General Montaigne's death has nothing to do with me, and I will not stay here."

"If you think you have the ability to keep me here, why not give me an order to fight me? I believe that my powerful Yunzhou soldiers have been looking forward to this day for a long time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sima Cuo knew that things were going to be bad.

What happened tonight was completely unexpected and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Moreover, Chu Ning's attitude was so firm that he was afraid he would not be able to keep him.

But if a war breaks out, the Yunzhou troops have just destroyed the Yan army and their momentum is high. They are afraid that they will not be able to defeat the other side.

While thinking, Su Tingmei on the opposite side gently waved her feather fan and said calmly: "General Sima, everyone has seen what was right and wrong tonight. Do you want to risk going to war with our dynasty?"

This sentence touched Sima Cuo's soft spot.

Although Ying Zheng asked him to go to war, there were prerequisites.

If the conditions for the Chu army to take action first are not met, who would dare to start a war easily?

Thinking of this, Sima Cuo took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anger, and said coldly:

"General Montaigne died in your hands. You must give Qin an explanation for this!"

"You want to explain?"

Chu Ning chuckled and said, "Okay, you report this to the Emperor of Qin and see if he wants to ask me for an explanation!"

"Don't worry, I will not return to the court. The capital of Yan State is still waiting for me to take it."

"If you Qin State really want to go to war, I will wait for you in the capital of Yan State!"

After saying that, Chu Ning waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

At the order, the Chu army began to retreat slowly.

Sima Cuo stared at the retreating figures of the Chu army, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

But no matter how unwilling he was, he didn't dare to order an attack at this time.

At this time, the deputy general next to him asked, "General, should we take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack?"

Sima Cuo glared at the man fiercely: "You haven't been discovered. Even if the Chu army retreated, they would have taken precautions. If we attack now, we will only fall into their trap."

"Someone, take away General Montaigne's body!"

"Everyone return to the barracks immediately to rest and wait for the general's orders."

After giving two orders in succession, Sima Cuo immediately rode back to the military camp.

He wanted to write a letter to tell Ying Zheng everything that happened here!

Things have gone beyond their expectations, and Chu Ning has returned to the Chu army. Whether to start a war is no longer something he can decide.
