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

Chapter 651 Kill!

"Tell me, how did Yang Yuntao make you leak the information?"

Chu Ning looked at He Qing who was kneeling in front of him, with no joy or sadness on his face.

He Qing quickly explained, "The master called me over that day and said he wanted to spread the news in the city that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would deliver 10 million taels of silver after the Lantern Festival."

"At the time, I persuaded him that this matter was related to the battle situation on the front line. If something unexpected happened, it would be a disaster."

"But the adults scolded me and told me not to worry about anything and just do what I was told."

"Your Highness, Prince Chu, it was not easy for me to get this job in the Yang Mansion. I don't want to lose it, so I was bewitched and spread the news. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

As he spoke, He Qing kowtowed repeatedly on the ground.

In order to seek Chu Ning's forgiveness, he even hit his head, with blood flowing down his forehead, looking very miserable.

Chu Ning gave him a cold look and said, "Alright, this matter has nothing to do with you. You are just a chess piece."

As he was talking, Yang Yuntao's voice suddenly rang out from inside the room: "Mr. Wu, how is the matter going? Why don't you come in and report to me?"

There had been no movement in the yard for a long time. Yang Yuntao frowned and couldn't help shouting outside.

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Let's go and meet him."

Ran Ming led the way in front, Chu Ning was in the middle. He Qing thought about it, gritted his teeth, and followed.

Ran Ming pushed open the door, and the candlelight reflected on Yang Yuntao's horrified face.

"How...how did you get in?"

Yang Yuntao didn't know why, but he suddenly felt something was wrong, and he immediately shouted outside: "Someone, someone, Wu Da, where have you been?"

"Sir, don't shout!"

He Qing who came in from behind smiled bitterly and said, "He has been captured by General Ran Ming."

"What……"

Yang Yuntao was horrified: "How dare you come to my mansion to take someone away, King Chu, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean?"

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said calmly: "Don't you know what I mean? If I hadn't arrived in time, your trick of secretly silencing you might have really succeeded."

After these words were spoken, Yang Yuntao finally reacted.

"It's you, this is all your trick!"

Yang Yuntao looked as if he had seen a ghost, staring at Chu Ning: "You have been plotting against me from the beginning, deliberately leaving He Qing alone to question him, just to make me suspect He Qing."

"When I want to take action against He Qing, you show up again. Not only can you save He Qing, but you can also make him completely devoted to you and even provide you with the information you want."

As one of the new top three, Yang Yuntao is quite capable and can see through things in just a few words.

He Qing's face changed slightly when he heard this.

If Yang Yuntao hadn't reminded him, he would not have realized that he was being plotted against.

However, now that he has surrendered to the King of Chu, it is impossible for him to be angry about this matter.

What's more, Yang Yuntao had just sent someone to kill him, which had already made him completely disappointed. He would definitely not do anything for Yang Yuntao again.

While thinking, Chu Ning in front of him chuckled and said, "As expected of the new top three, you reacted so quickly!"

"Yes, this is the trap I set for you. How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Yang Yuntao's face was gloomy. He turned to look at He Qing and asked coldly, "Did you tell him everything?"

He Qing lowered his head and dared not speak.

No matter what, this was his former master, and he was afraid of him.

But he didn't say anything, which revealed everything.

Yang Yuntao snorted coldly: "You are a traitor. If I had known this would happen, I should have killed you!"

Unexpectedly, this sentence completely angered He Qing!

"Master Yang!"

He Qing, who was lowering his head, suddenly shouted loudly: "If you hadn't been suspicious tonight, I wouldn't have been persuaded by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, let alone betray you!"

"You have brought all this upon yourself."

"presumptuous!"

Yang Yuntao was furious: "Who are you to dare to talk to me like this?"

He Qing snorted coldly: "Don't forget, you have been dismissed now. You are a commoner like me. Why can't I talk to you like this?"

"you……"

"Okay, Lord Yang, don't you look at your own situation!"

Chu Ning interrupted Yang Yuntao who was still trying to show off and sneered: "Now you have become the prince's abandoned child."

"To tell you the truth, after you were beaten by this king, the prince immediately handed over some of the things you were in charge of to He Peng."

"So, don't expect the prince to come and save you now. You will definitely die tonight!"

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Yang Yuntao was stunned on the spot for a moment.

He spent all day hunting geese, but he never expected that one day he would be pecked in the eye by a goose.

For a moment, emotions of anger, irritation, regret and unwillingness kept surging in my mind.

He didn't understand why the prince would give up on him when he was clearly capable.

He also didn't understand why he couldn't defeat Chu Ning despite his efforts.

If he had sided with Chu Ning at the beginning, would things have ended differently?

Thinking of this, Yang Yuntao's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted, "Your Highness the King of Chu, I...I can join you!"

"I know a lot about the prince, and I also know some of the things he did secretly. As long as you give me a way to survive, I can tell you everything."

The prince gave up on him, and he could only find a way to save himself.

The only one who can save him at this moment is Chu Ning.

The only things he could produce were some evidence of the prince's crimes.

He believed that someone like Chu Ning would definitely not be content with being a prince and would definitely want to take the throne.

If Chu Ning could get evidence of the prince's guilt, he would have a chance to become the prince. With Chu Ning's character, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?

Ran Ming looked at Yang Yuntao, who was pleading, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"I thought you were so noble, but you're nothing more than this!"

Ran Ming rolled his eyes: "You were scolding your own housekeeper just now, now aren't you betraying your master as well?"

Yang Yuntao smiled awkwardly: "General Ran Ming, I am doing this entirely for the sake of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. How can I confuse this with He Qing?"

Ran Ming sneered and said nothing.

Chu Ning shook his head, his face full of disappointment: "If you had some backbone, I might look up to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Yuntao felt that something was wrong.

"You know what I hate most is spineless people!"

Chu Ning sneered: "Ran Ming, kill him!"

Yang Yuntao was horrified: "Your Highness, Prince Chu, I... I am still useful to you. Keeping me here will be of great use to you."

But Chu Ning didn't listen at all. He waved his right hand, Ran Ming smiled ferociously, and smashed the spear in his hand towards Yang Yuntao.

"Ah~"

With a scream, Yang Yuntao's head was blown up directly, and red and white objects splashed out.

Chu Ning's mouth twitched: "You stay behind to cover us, and return He Qing's family to her, and let him move to Liangzhou with his whole family."

"Yes!" Ran Ming responded and immediately called on the soldiers to deal with Yang Yuntao's body.

Chu Ning returned to the palace, and along the way he was thinking about the next situation.
