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

Chapter 273 Emperor: Expand the story

At night, the north wind howled.

On the walls of Kyoto, the defenders were on high alert. Each of them had a serious expression, holding a weapon and looking cautious.

The city of Kyoto shouldn't be so tense, but tonight an uninvited guest came to the city wall.

For some reason, His Royal Highness the King of Chu came to the city wall and ordered people to prepare hot tea. He drank tea on the city wall, looking leisurely.

This frightened the guards here, who thought the King of Chu was here to cause trouble, and immediately called everyone to stand guard.

Just when the defenders were at a loss, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted their thoughts.

Zhao Yu, wearing silver armor, reported: "Your Highness, Huo Quji and Wei Donglai have sent messengers, and they have already left the city gate."

Chu Ning held the tea and looked at the several torches outside the city that were flickering with sparks, with an amusement look on his face.

"Very good, everything is as I expected."

Putting down the teacup, Chu Ning stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go, accompany me to the palace again, and this matter will be completely concluded."

Chu Ning led everyone to the imperial palace, leaving behind a messy garrison.

After all this time, the King of Chu came here just to see if anyone had left the city?

The defenders looked at each other in bewilderment. For the first time, they felt that the King of Chu seemed different from what was rumored.

It is said that the King of Chu values money like his life and likes to cheat people, but now it seems that he is not like that at all.

Just when the defenders had a change of heart towards Chu Ning, Chu Ning brought his men to the palace.

At this moment in the Yingwu Palace, the emperor had a sad face.

Although Chu Ning persuaded Princess Changping to write a letter to the Queen of Zhou, no one can guarantee whether the Queen of Zhou will easily reveal the matter.

After all, the Empress of the Great Zhou was responsible for the death of her own daughter.

To be fair, if his son was killed in another dynasty, he would never let it go.

Just as the emperor was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Chu Ning's voice coming from outside the palace: "Father, I have something important to ask you."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

It's late at night, and Chu Ning is not at home with Shen Wanying. Why is he coming to see me?

Although he was surprised, the emperor still said coldly: "Come in."

"Your son greets you, father!" Chu Ning came in and bowed.

The emperor stared at him angrily and asked, "Tell me, what do you want from me? Have you gotten into trouble again?"

Chu Ning smiled awkwardly: "Father, your words are too hurtful to me. I came here with good news. If you don't want to hear it, I will go back now."

After saying that, Chu Ning turned around and pretended to leave.

The emperor frowned.

good news?

Is there any good news at this time?

However, since Chu Ning came to say it in person, it is not impossible to listen to it.

The emperor snorted coldly: "Alright, why do you have to pretend in front of me? Just say what you want to say."

Chu Ning turned around and chuckled, "I guess Father is worried about the affairs of Great Zhou and Great Yan, right?"

"So what?" The emperor stared at Chu Ning with his eyes slanted.

Chu Ning smiled mysteriously: "Father, I deliberately informed Huo Quji and Wei Donglai about Baili Xing being killed by Princess Changping. They just sent someone to pass the news back."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face changed drastically, he slammed the table and roared: "You bastard, how dare you tell them this?

Don't you know that once these two dynasties learn of this, they will definitely take action?"

The Zhou and Yan dynasties were already difficult enough to deal with. If the Han and Wei dynasties also got involved, the Chu dynasty would have no chance of coping.

But Chu Ning had a wicked smile on his face: "Father, don't worry. This is a trap I dug for them."

"Oh? A pit dug for them?"

The emperor immediately became interested and asked curiously, "Tell me more about it!"

Chu Ning grinned and said, "I leaked the news to them on purpose so that they can gather their troops and horses in advance and make preparations.

But their actions are not like this in the eyes of the Great Yan Dynasty. The two dynasties are gathering heavy troops at the border at the same time. Father, if you were the emperor of Great Yan, wouldn’t you be worried that they would suddenly launch an attack? "

The emperor's eyes lit up and he laughed loudly: "Great, great! In this way, the Emperor of Dayan will have no time to care about our dynasty!"

Baili Xing acted so recklessly this time that the Chu Dynasty should have held the Yan Dynasty accountable.

However, the current Chu Dynasty is weak and has no confidence to fight a fierce battle with the Yan Dynasty.

He doesn't even have the courage to send someone to investigate!

But if the Yan Dynasty were to confront or clash with the Wei or Han Dynasty, it would be a great thing for the Chu Dynasty.

At least in this way, the Chu Dynasty will not have to worry about the Yan Dynasty taking action against them.

The emperor was very amused and looked at Chu Ning with satisfaction.

This guy's ability to cheat people is quite reliable when he uses it in the right way.

At this time, Chu Ning laughed again and said, "This matter is far more than that. After receiving the letter from Princess Changping, the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely not blame our dynasty first, but will point the spearhead at the Great Yan Dynasty!

If she found out that Wei and Han were gathering heavy troops on the border, given the Empress's personality, she would most likely take the opportunity to send troops directly to Yan."

If Wei and Han did not gather their troops, the Queen of Zhou might have considered sending troops to Yan.

But once these two dynasties gather their troops, they will definitely need the main force of the Great Yan Dynasty.

By then, when would the Great Zhou send out troops?

When the emperor heard this, a hint of excitement appeared on his face: "Great idea, what a great idea!"

The emperor, who was getting more and more excited as he spoke, walked up to Chu Ning, patted Chu Ning on the shoulder and laughed, "My son has achieved many goals at once!"

Not only did it solve the possibility of Great Zhou and Great Yan sending troops to Great Chu, but it also allowed the two dynasties to fight against each other, buying time for the development of Great Chu.

You are worthy of being my good prince!

The more the emperor looked at Chu Ning, the more satisfied he became.

As long as this deceptive skill is not used on me, I would be very happy.

For some reason, the emperor felt an inexplicable sense of excitement when he saw Chu Ning cheating others in this way.

Of course I felt uncomfortable when I was cheated by Chu Ning in the past.

But now seeing Chu Ning cheating others, the emperor felt that he was with Chu Ning, and Chu Ning cheated others, which meant that he had to follow suit.

Different position, different mentality!

Chu Ning looked at the emperor who was full of excitement, but there was an amusement on his face.

Be happy, the happier the better!

I have more to say.

Chu Ning grinned and said, "Father, I have done my best for our dynasty. Do you think it is time to reward me?"

"Reward, must reward!"

The emperor blurted out in joy.

But after he finished speaking, the emperor's face froze and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Chu Ning had been laying the groundwork for a long time, and it turned out that it was all for a reward.

This reward is definitely not an ordinary reward.

After talking for so long, this kid is coming for me!

The smile on the emperor's face suddenly stopped, and was replaced by a smile that was uglier than crying.

He knew that he had been fooled by Chu Ning again.
