Chapter 604: Strategies and Plots!
"Fourth Prince, why do you have to be so hypocritical at this moment?"
Su Wenguang's face was full of righteousness: "I can't believe it, you sent people to rob His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's money. I guess you also killed His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the Fourth Prince's face became extremely gloomy, and he stared at Su Wenguang intently: "If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext for it!"
Su Wenguang snorted coldly: "Right now General Ran Ming is leading people to move silver in the manor, and there are crossbows in the manor. The stolen goods and the tools used in the crime have been found. Fourth Prince, do you still want to quibble?
Forget it, there is no point in talking to you now, Fourth Prince, you should think about how to explain to His Majesty."
After saying that, Su Wenguang shouted, "Escort His Royal Highness the King of Chu back to the palace!"
A team of more than a dozen people escorted Chu Ning on horseback towards the road ahead.
The Fourth Prince who was standing in front of them suddenly became very anxious.
If Chu Ning were allowed to return to the palace with this information, he would definitely be arrested.
No, Chu Ning must not be allowed to return to the palace!
The fourth prince was determined, and his eyes flashed with determination: "Someone, stop them!"
The guards behind the Fourth Prince immediately rushed forward.
Su Wenguang was furious: "How dare you stop His Royal Highness the King of Chu from returning to the palace."
Su Wenguang, who was somewhat furious, immediately drew the sword from his waist and killed him.
As the commander of the city defense battalion, Su Wenguang had fought on the battlefield. Although the Fourth Prince's guards were good in martial arts, they were no match for him.
With just one encounter and a flash of sword light, Su Wenguang killed the two guards in a flash.
The pungent smell of blood immediately made the Fourth Prince's eyes flash with murderous intent: "You don't even have twenty people, and you dare to kill people in front of me!
Come, kill them for me, kill them!"
The furious Fourth Prince lost his mind.
Clearly he had done nothing, yet he had to bear so many charges. Moreover, Su Wenguang was so aggressive. As a prince, how could he endure this?
At the command, the Fourth Prince's guards roared and charged forward.
Although Su Wenguang was an excellent martial artist, he did not have many people around him and soon fell into a disadvantage.
Even the white horse cavalry who were protecting Chu Ning were now in a tough battle.
Chu Ning frowned upon seeing this and said, "General Su, there is no need to linger in the battle. Let my white horse cavalry stop them and they will return to the palace immediately."
Su Wenguang reacted.
Yes, now there is no need for a gunfight, just find a way to get to the palace.
At the command, the white horse cavalry immediately gathered to block the fourth prince's guards. Then Chu Ning and Su Wenguang rode their horses to take a detour.
The fourth prince snorted coldly: "Want to escape? Stop them!"
The guards immediately chased after them, but most of them were blocked by the White Horse Cavalry. Although the rest caught up, they were beaten back by Chu Ning and Su Wenguang.
Relying on the speed of their war horses, the two men fought as they headed towards the capital, eventually shaking off the group of pursuing guards.
After escaping from the pursuit, the two men reined in their horses and looked behind them.
"Whoo~"
Su Wenguang breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I left in time, otherwise I would have to stay here today. I didn't expect the Fourth Prince to actually dare to kill me!"
Chu Ning sighed: "It's a pity for my ten white horse cavalrymen."
These people are elite, and Chu Ning will feel sad for the loss of each of them.
Seeing Chu Ning’s low mood, Su Wenguang couldn’t help but said in a deep voice: “Your Highness, don’t worry, with their martial arts, even if they are not low, it will not be a problem for them to escape.
The most urgent thing is to go to the palace first, report this matter to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to send someone to capture the Fourth Prince."
Chu Ning nodded slightly and rode forward.
But just as he passed by Su Wenguang, Su Wenguang swung the sword in his hand and stabbed at Chu Ning!
The sword, with its sound of breaking through the air and its killing intent, was determined to pierce Chu Ning's heart in one fell swoop!
But at this moment, Chu Ning suddenly turned sideways and managed to avoid the sword.
The fatal sword missed, and Su Wenguang's face showed surprise.
He didn't understand why, with his martial arts skills, he couldn't kill Chu Ning by surprise.
Was Chu Ning's dodging a coincidence or was it expected?
Surprised, Chu Ning turned his horse around and stared at Su Wenguang coldly: "Are you finally unable to resist and want to attack me?"
Su Wenguang's expression changed slightly: "You...what do you mean by that?"
Chu Ning sneered: "You should know better than me what I mean. How about the opportunity I created for you? Are you satisfied?
Now there is no one around except you and me. With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to kill me, right?"
Facing danger, Chu Ning was so calm, which made Su Wenguang alert.
Others don’t understand Chu Ning, but Su Wenguang knows him very well.
This is a person who takes everything into consideration. It is impossible for Chu Ning to remain so calm without the certainty of winning.
"You...what do you mean?"
Su Wenguang stared at Chu Ning in disbelief, with a hint of caution on his face.
"You are so smart, why don't you think about it yourself? If you have any doubts, I can help you solve them."
Chu Ning said calmly, "I believe that with your intelligence, you should be able to guess it."
Su Wenguang's eyes flashed coldly when he heard this, and his expression changed from gloomy to bright.
In fact, he had already thought of the worst outcome, but he didn't dare to say it.
In other words, he was unwilling to believe the result he imagined.
But seeing Chu Ning's indifferent look, he couldn't help but ask: "Don't you believe in me from the beginning?"
Chu Ning chuckled: "To be precise, I will not completely trust anyone. Moreover, your city defense battalion arrived so slowly when the seventh brother was killed. It is really suspicious."
Su Wenguang reacted and said solemnly: "So you deliberately reported this to the emperor and asked me to investigate this matter with you, in order to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"clever!"
Chu Ning smiled and said, "Everything is just as I thought. You really found the clue."
Su Wenguang's hand holding the sword trembled, but he still suppressed his murderous intent: "You deliberately said that you suspected that it was those princes without fiefs, but you actually wanted me to investigate them and then put the blame on them?"
Chu Ning nodded, showing appreciation: "If I hadn't done this, how could you have secretly hidden the 10 million taels of silver in that villa?
Of course, I was just suspicious of you at first, but I didn’t expect that your subsequent behavior would deepen my suspicion of you.
No matter what you said to Meng Boming at the manor, or what you said to Fourth Brother just now, you have been trying to sow discord between me and them.
Besides, I just found the silver in the manor, why did Fourth Brother come here immediately? If I guess correctly, you must have sent someone to pass on the message in advance.
But it takes time for Fourth Brother to come here from the city, which means you sent someone to deliver the message before I found the silver!
But this will only deepen my suspicion of you. After all, I don't have any evidence.
Therefore, I will simply give you a chance to be alone with me to see if you will attack me."
When Su Wenguang heard this, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face: "So, it was a trap from the beginning!
Humph, so what if that’s the case? Now that you’re all alone here, it’ll be easy for me to kill you!
Moreover, you mobilized the soldiers in the palace. Now there are not many guards in the palace. Today, the people in the palace will go to hell with you!"
After saying that, Su Wenguang's eyes turned cold: "You already know everything you need to know. Next, prepare to die!"
"and many more!"
Chu Ning suddenly shouted, "I have one last question. Who do you work for? Why is it not enough to kill me, but you want to destroy my palace?"
