Chapter 692 It's Them
After Cao Zhi's death, Huo Quji thought that the matter was over, but he didn't expect that there would be someone behind him.
When everyone turned around, they saw that it was Princess Changping and her four companions riding horses towards them.
The person who spoke was none other than the King Wu of Zhao, who had always disliked Chu Ning.
As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Quji felt something was wrong.
With Chu Ning's personality, how could he allow others to offend him with words?
What's more, Chu Ning has so many soldiers and horses around him. If they take action, he will not be able to protect the King of Wu.
Before Chu Ning could speak, Huo Quji spoke first, smiling, "It turns out to be the King of Wu, and the Princess of Changping, the second prince of the Tang Dynasty, who is the prime minister!"
"It's so late, I wonder when you came here?"
In order to prevent Chu Ning from pursuing what King Wu had just said, Huo Quji took the initiative to change the subject.
Princess Changping glanced at Chu Ning and said calmly: "We came here to see how you can take down King Chen!"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Su Cheng behind Chu Ning, with a look of sudden enlightenment on her face: "So it's you!"
King Wu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Princess Changping knows them?"
Princess Changping nodded slightly: "When I went to see Prime Minister Di, I met this general. He is from the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Su Cheng smiled and bowed to everyone: "General Su Cheng of the Great Zhou, greetings to all of you!"
Ren Wenxuan, who had been silent the whole time, narrowed his eyes, and a look of sudden enlightenment flashed across his face: "I've heard of your name before!"
"You were a general under Li Long's rebel army, but you later chose to betray him, causing the 100,000-strong army of Great Yan to be defeated in Luocheng!"
Others might not know Su Cheng, or even have never heard of his name, but as the Prime Minister of Yan State, how could Ren Wenxuan not have heard of this person's name?
Back in Luocheng, if Su Cheng had not led 20,000 soldiers to rebel, the 100,000 Yan troops and 100,000 rebels would not have been defeated by Chu Ning.
It can be said that Su Chengcai was the culprit that led to the defeat of the 100,000 Yan army.
Ren Wenxuan hated this person to the core!
"Hahahaha, Prime Minister Ren actually knows me. This makes me a little surprised."
Su Cheng smiled and said, "However, even if I had not changed sides, with His Royal Highness the King of Chu's ability, it would have been easy for him to defeat your 100,000 Yan troops!"
While being humble, he did not forget to flatter Chu Ning.
Ren Wenxuan sneered: "My Yan Kingdom will remember this account, but I really didn't expect that the troops of your Great Zhou Dynasty would obey Chu Ning's orders tonight."
If they still don’t know that the troops in front of them are from the Great Zhou Dynasty, then they are really fools.
Su Cheng chuckled: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is the benefactor of our Great Zhou Dynasty. If he asks us to do something, can we refuse?"
After suppressing the rebellion last time, Chu Ning specially asked Su Cheng to go to Dunhuang County to help maintain order there.
He did a good job in Dunhuang County and made great contributions, so the empress allowed him to escort Di Ying here to celebrate the birthday.
After the birthday celebration, they will return to the Great Zhou Dynasty together to receive rewards.
But they didn't expect to meet Chu Ning during this trip to the Han Dynasty, and Chu Ning even asked them to help stop Cao Zhi!
Fortunately, Su Cheng did not forget Chu Ning's kindness and did not refuse this matter, which blocked Cao Zhi's escape route tonight.
“High, really high!”
Ren Wenxuan stared at Chu Ning with a vigilant look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has planned it from the beginning, otherwise it would be impossible to arrange troops here in advance."
"So the King of Chu knew you would win before the competition. Otherwise, it would be useless even if you arranged the troops."
"In fact, when the banknotes were robbed, I had some doubts. The White Horse Cavalry under your command is very powerful, so why were they robbed so easily by the Wei army?"
"Now that I think about it, you must have deliberately let Cao Zhi take your banknotes so that you had a reason to attack him."
"Your Highness, Prince Chu, I wonder if what I said is true?"
Ren Wenxuan either kept silent or revealed Chu Ning's entire plan as soon as he opened his mouth.
Chu Ning took a deep look at this person and said calmly: "Yes, all this was arranged by the king in advance, and you said it word for word!"
"It seems that the Great Yan Dynasty also has capable people. You can infer so many things from Cao Zhi's death."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Shiming and others' faces changed slightly.
They knew Chu Ning was powerful, but they didn't expect Chu Ning to be so powerful.
It would have been fine if Su Cheng had arranged his troops outside the city in advance, but he actually anticipated that Cao Zhi would snatch his banknotes.
What does this mean?
This shows that Cao Zhi has always been plotted against by Chu Ning.
It’s a pity that Cao Zhi still claimed to be the most talented person in the world. He didn’t know until his death that he had been living in Chu Ning’s plan.
If Cao Zhi knew this news now, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life.
At this moment, Princess Changping learned that this was Chu Ning's plan. She couldn't help but open her beautiful lips and showed surprise on her face.
After a long while, she raised her thumb and praised, "Amazing, really amazing. This princess rarely admires others, but you are an exception!"
Chu Ning smiled slightly: "Princess Changping, you are too kind. I have only taken all possibilities into account."
"That Cao Zhi is ridiculous. Does he really think that I will let him go? Humph, no one who dares to go against me will have a good ending!"
He said the last sentence while staring at King Wu.
The meaning is self-evident.
The next one to deal with is the King of Wu!
He dared to provoke in public and even mocked him. How could Chu Ning tolerate him?
The King of Wu, who was being stared at, suddenly felt a chill all over his body and couldn't help shivering.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful.
If I had known Chu Ning was so cunning, I shouldn't have mocked him just now.
It's too late to take back your words now!
Since I've already offended him, I might as well offend him to the end. I can't just give in at this time, right?
Moreover, the two countries are already hostile to each other. Does he have to admit his mistake to Chu Ning now?
Thinking of this, the King of Wu stared at Chu Ning and sneered, "Why are you staring at me? You are indeed an illegitimate child of humble origin..."
"shut up!"
Chu Ning's face suddenly darkened, and he interrupted and angrily scolded: "You are a man whose country is about to be destroyed. Why don't you hide in your house and try to make a living? How dare you bark in front of the army?"
"you……"
"What are you!"
Chu Ning's eyes widened, and his whole body suddenly burst into a powerful aura: "White-haired man, old thief with gray beard, you should have lived and died with the country in the capital of Zhao State, but you are afraid of death and come here!"
"I see that you are trying to escape from Zhao State in the name of celebrating the birthday. Such a person deserves to die!"
These righteous words made King Wu so angry that his face turned pale. He covered his chest and pointed at Chu Ning, wanting to refute but not knowing how to refute.
Huo Quji laughed bitterly.
He knew that King Wu’s words just now had angered Chu Ning.
Now you’ve got it all your own fault!
However, in order to calm the matter down as soon as possible, he took the initiative to persuade them: "You two, now that Cao Zhi is dead, I need to report to His Majesty."
"This place also needs to be cleaned up, please go back."
The King of Wu had long since stopped wanting to stay here and be scolded by Chu Ning. Upon hearing this, he snorted coldly and immediately turned around and left.
Chu Ning stared at the man's back, a sneer appearing on his face.
If you mess with him, then expect revenge!
