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

Chapter 602 Beware of Fraud

Su Wenguang's news made Chu Ning look suspiciously at the Fourth Prince.

In the entire Kyoto city, among all the princes, except for the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince is the strongest!

Moreover, the Fourth Prince was not among those to be enfeoffed this time. Perhaps it was because of this incident that he hated him, so he took the risk and robbed the tens of millions of taels of silver.

In order to get the silver back as soon as possible and to find out the real murderer who murdered the seventh prince, the manor outside the city must be taken over immediately.

At the command, Chu Ning led Ran Ming and two hundred white horse cavalrymen and headed straight out of the city.

But his actions attracted the attention of many people.

Of course, the first person to receive the news was the emperor!

Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.

The emperor frowned and looked thoughtful: "As soon as he met Su Wenguang, he immediately took the white horse cavalry into action. Could it be that he found the robbers?"

Zhao Ming looked surprised: "If His Royal Highness the King of Chu really found the robbers, why did he only bring 200 cavalrymen?"

The other party was able to rob silver from the palace's transport team, and they had the advantage in both numbers and combat effectiveness.

What can Chu Ning do with two hundred cavalrymen?

If robbers are really discovered, they should be reported immediately so that the emperor can dispatch troops.

But the emperor sneered upon hearing this: "That guy is very confident in the fighting ability of his cavalry. Besides, how could he let me interfere in this matter? After all, it is his own silver."

Shaking his head, the emperor waved his hand: "Forget it, let him handle it himself."

After all, the emperor still didn't believe that Chu Ning could find clues so quickly.

But what the emperor didn't know was that in a mansion in the city, two people were discussing this matter.

In the south of the city, in a big house, in a secret room.

In the pitch-dark room, two people were plotting.

"Chu Ning has already led two hundred cavalrymen out of the city, and the people from the city defense camp are also leaving the city in batches!" A rough voice spoke first.

A calm voice sounded from the other side: "Chu Ning was very cautious. He only took 200 cavalrymen out of the city. Some people were left behind in the palace."

"You want to charge directly into Prince Chu's mansion?"

"Of course, how can we miss such a good opportunity?"

The calm voice sneered, "Chu Ning and Ran Ming are not in the Chu Palace. Even if there are still some guards in the Chu Palace, it is not a big problem. Our people can wipe them all out in the first place."

The rough voice was silent for a long time before it asked, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? Killing the Seventh Prince is fine, but if the Chu Palace is wiped out at this moment, the emperor will definitely not stand idly by.

Once the emperor takes action, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and I to escape!"

"Escape? Why do you want to escape?"

The calm voice said calmly: "From the beginning of this plan, I never thought of leaving Kyoto City. This time, I will destroy the Chu Palace first and let Chu Ning have a taste of being wiped out. Next, it will be his turn!"

The rough voice sighed: "In this case, I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman!"

"Okay, you still have things to do, so I won't keep you here."

"Farewell!"

Then, the secret room fell completely silent.

At this moment, Chu Ning was waiting for Su Wenguang with his troops at the City God Temple five miles outside the city.

"Your Highness, why are the people from the city defense camp so slow to arrive?" Ran Ming waited for a while, with an impatient look on his face.

Chu Ning said calmly, "They need to change clothes and leave the city in batches, so it will take time. Be patient."

Ran Ming curled his lips and stopped talking.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long before a group of soldiers appeared in the distance.

Su Wenguang finally arrived with people from the city defense camp!

"I have met His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"No need to be polite, let's go and let your people lead the way."

"Yes!"

Chu Ning didn't waste any time and directly ordered Su Wenguang and the people from the city defense camp to go in the front, with the cavalry following behind.

The group soon arrived outside a huge manor.

Chu Ning did not attack immediately, but called the person who stayed behind to keep watch and inquire for information.

"Is there anything unusual in the manor?"

"To reply to your Highness, everything is normal."

"Very good!" Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Surround this place, I want to capture them alive!"

As soon as these words came out, Su Wenguang's face changed slightly: "Your Highness, if they are really robbers, they will definitely not surrender. It is better to attack them directly."

Encirclement is nothing more than capturing them alive, but this will also expose them, thus allowing the people in the manor to be prepared.

It will be too late to attack by then!

But Chu Ning sneered and said, "Don't worry, they are only 300 people, which is nothing compared to my 200 elite cavalrymen. Besides, I also brought a crossbow this time.

Besides, the silver has not been found yet. If I don't leave him alive, where can I find the silver?"

"That's...ok."

Su Wenguang had no choice but to give the order: "Everyone divide into four teams and surround the manor!"

At the command, five hundred people were immediately divided into four teams, with three hundred soldiers from the city defense camp responsible for each side, and two hundred white horse cavalrymen responsible for the main gate.

Such a big noise immediately alarmed the people in the manor. They picked up their weapons, closed the door and prepared for defense.

Chu Ning rode his horse to the front of the gate and said in a cold voice: "I am Chu Ning, and I have been ordered to come here to search for the stolen silver. If you know what's good for you, open the gate. Otherwise, I will make sure you are killed without a complete corpse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a slightly trembling voice came from inside: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has come to visit. This old servant, Meng Boming, is the steward of this manor.

Your Highness, this is the Fourth Prince's property. We don't have the silver you mentioned. Please take your people away."

Su Wenguang snorted coldly when he heard this: "Stop talking nonsense. I have already found out that there are crossbows hidden in the manor. The robbers used crossbows. You are highly suspected!

I'll give you ten seconds. If you don't open the door, we'll storm it!"

Su Wenguang, who came from a military background, didn't want to negotiate with Meng Boming and others at all, and wanted to start a fight if they disagreed.

"This... this matter is of great importance. Can you send someone to inform His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince..."

Meng Boming wanted to delay time, but Chu Ning's eyes turned cold: "Humph, I brought so many people here not to listen to your nonsense, you only have two choices now!

Either you open the door and let me search, or I will bring my men in and search myself.

Although you have quite a few people among you, they don’t even have the strength to fight against my elite cavalry.

If you don’t want to cause trouble for Fourth Brother, you’d better let me go in and investigate. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you won’t be able to explain to Fourth Brother! "

If we can persuade them and go in to search without using force, that would be the best.

If a fight really breaks out, although I can break in, I will be covered in injuries.

And keeping him alive might be of great use later.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the courtyard suddenly opened and a white-haired old man walked out with a cane.

"Your Highness, Prince Chu, I am willing to open the gate, but I hope you won't do anything. This place is the property of the Fourth Prince, and I can't afford it."

This person's decision made Su Wenguang's eyes cold, and he came close to Chu Ning and whispered:

"Your Highness, beware of fraud!"
