Chapter 263: Even More Than You
"Princess Changping, stop it, you are no match for me!"
In the Daqin Inn, Zhao Yu, holding a spear, blocked the furious Princess Changping from killing Baili Xing.
Baili Xing was the mastermind behind the murder of Princess Gaoping. This person must not die at the hands of others, and the Emperor of Great Chu must deal with it personally.
Otherwise, Chu Ning will not be able to explain to the emperor.
But Princess Changping, who was already furious at Baili Xing, sneered: "Not your match? Fine, I will learn your skills tonight!"
After he finished speaking, he turned the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and the tip of the halberd swept from the side.
Zhao Yu frowned.
Baili Xing was behind him. If he retreated, Princess Changping would definitely take the opportunity to kill him.
With a cold look in his eyes, Zhao Yu slammed his spear to the ground, held the halberd handle, and stabbed it down!
Princess Changping dodged sideways and the Fang Tian Hua Ji came back to strike.
The two men fought back and forth, one of them wanted to guard and didn't dare to use his full strength, while the other one attacked with all his strength, hoping to take the opportunity to kill Baili Xing.
For a while, the two sides were fighting hard.
Seeing this, the butler beside Baili Xing hurried forward and whispered, "Sir, why don't we take this opportunity to rush out?"
Although they were surrounded, everyone's eyes were on Princess Changping and Zhao Yu at the moment. If they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to break out, there was still a chance.
After all, there are still more than a dozen guards in the inn. As long as these people fight to the death, there is indeed a chance to send Baili Xing out.
As long as we leave this place, there is still a chance of survival if we want to hide in the huge city of Kyoto and not be discovered by the enemy!
However, Baili Xing remained calm and shook his head, saying, "I can't leave, so why not wait until they both lose."
Regardless of whether Princess Changping defeated Zhao Yu and killed him, or Zhao Yu defeated Princess Changping and saved himself, the feud between Da Qin and Da Chu was established.
And this is his purpose.
Now that things have come to this, it is no longer possible to escape. It is better to use the remaining energy before death to cause some trouble for Da Chu.
The butler fell silent upon hearing this.
Having been with Baili Xing for so many years, he knows Baili Xing's character very well. Once a decision is made, no one can change it.
Now, we can only wait and see.
Just as the two men were fighting fiercely, a light laugh came from the door.
Everyone was stunned.
This voice is very familiar!
Looks like His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu who just left!
Even Princess Changping and Zhao Yu, who were fighting, were a little surprised when they heard this. They waved their weapons to repel their opponents and turned to look at the door.
Chu Ning came back and stared at the people in front of him with a playful look on his face.
Baili Xing's face changed slightly, and he stared at Chu Ning: "Your Highness, Prince Chu, didn't you promise me that you would personally rescue those eight craftsmen?"
Chu Ning grinned at Baili Xing: "I promised to rescue them myself, but I didn't say when I would go, nor did I say that I couldn't come back after leaving this inn, right?"
"You... cough cough cough ~ cough cough..."
Baili Xing knew he had been fooled. He glared and was about to scold Chu Ning for breaking his promise, but he felt a sweetness in his throat and his old illness came back.
The constant coughing made Baili Xing's eyes red, and all the wrinkles on his old face piled up together, making him look very hideous.
"My lord, my lord!"
The butler at the side was horrified and hurried forward, patting Baili Xing's back with his right hand and taking out a handkerchief with his left hand to cover Baili Xing's mouth.
It took a long time for Baili Xing to come back to his senses.
The housekeeper took away the silk handkerchief covering her mouth, and a dazzling crimson color came into view.
This made the housekeeper's face change drastically. Just as he was about to speak, Baili Xing snatched the handkerchief away, raised his head and stared at Chu Ning:
"You... have guessed what I'm thinking?"
Chu Ning chuckled and shrugged, saying, "Old Prime Minister Baili has been in the officialdom for many years, how could he be so kind as to let me personally lead people to rescue them?
However, I also wanted to see Princess Changping's reaction, so I just agreed to your request on purpose.
Anyway, I promised you that I would personally lead people to rescue the craftsmen. I didn’t say when I would go, nor did I say that I couldn’t come back, right?"
Baili Xing was silenced by these words.
In the past, I just heard that Chu Ning was a scoundrel.
But now, he saw with his own eyes that Chu Ning was acting like a rogue.
But he couldn't do anything about this scoundrel Chu Ning!
After all, what Chu Ning said did make sense.
If anyone is to blame, he can only blame himself for being careless and letting Chu Ning take advantage of him.
However, does Chu Ning think that this is how the matter can be resolved?
Baili Xing's heart flashed with a ruthless look, and he turned to look at Princess Changping with an indifferent look: "See, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has already guessed that you would attack me, so he came here in person to persuade you.
With His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu here, it seems that I will not die in your hands tonight, Princess Changping!"
Although the tone was plain, the meaning of the words greatly stimulated Princess Changping.
What do you mean that if Chu Ning comes, he won’t have to die?
This is clearly looking down on this princess!
Princess Changping's eyes turned cold, and she sneered, "No one can stop me from doing what I want to do!"
He pointed the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand at Chu Ning and said coldly, "Your Highness, King Chu, do you want to give it a try?"
Zhao Yu on the side snorted coldly, holding a spear in front of Chu Ning, looking like he would fight back if you dare to attack him.
But Chu Ning was not angry with Princess Changping. Instead, he waved his hand to signal Zhao Yu to leave.
"Princess Changping, our goal tonight is to find the murderer who killed Princess Gaoping. Now that the murderer has been caught, he should be handed over to my father for punishment!"
Chu Ning said calmly: "However, Baili Xing has plotted against you after all, and Princess Changping, you have cooperated with me tonight to capture this man, so it is reasonable for you to want to deal with him."
After a pause, Chu Ning smiled and said, "How about this, hand this person over to my father first. Princess Changping, you go directly to my father and ask him to hand this person over to you for punishment.
By the way, I will also say a few good words for you, Princess Changping, how about that?"
These words eased Princess Changping's angry expression a lot.
Although Chu Ning did not hand Baili Xing over to him directly, he at least bought himself an opportunity.
Moreover, Chu Ning is a prince after all and does not have much power in Da Chu. This matter really needs to be consulted with the Emperor of Da Chu.
Furthermore, Baili Xing is the Prime Minister of Dayan, and Chu Ning would definitely not dare to offend the Dayan Dynasty.
Since Chu Ning gave me a way out, of course I have to take advantage of it.
"Hmph, you know what's going on!"
Princess Changping put away her Fang Tian Hua Ji and said in a cold voice: "I will take him to the palace to ask for an audience with the Emperor of Great Chu!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and immediately two Qin soldiers came forward.
But Chu Ning chuckled and said, "After all, this man was captured by me, so let my people take him to the palace.
General Zhao Yu, you personally lead the people to escort Baili Xing and accompany Princess Changping into the palace."
"Yes!"
Zhao Yu responded and personally stepped forward to Baili Xing and said coldly: "Prime Minister Baili, please come in!"
Baili Xing knew that his plan had failed, so he could only sigh and leave with Zhao Yu.
Princess Changping looked at Chu Ning deeply, then followed with her men.
After dealing with the matter, Chu Ning chuckled and said, "Everyone, follow me to rescue people!"
After saying that, Chu Ning glanced at the sky.
Judging from the time, the Crown Prince and other princes should be back from outside the city.
The eight craftsmen must be rescued before these people return to the city!
If you want to accomplish merit, you must accomplish it completely!
