Chapter 850 A huge favor
"Brother Thirteen, if you have something to say, feel free to tell me!"
Although he didn't know what the Thirteenth Prince was going to say, Chu Ning already had some guesses in his mind.
The Thirteenth Prince sighed and said, “Many of my men died tonight, so please, Eighteenth Brother, ask your men to bury their bodies properly.
Don't worry, I will never treat your people unfairly. As long as you bury these bodies, I will give them ten taels of silver each!"
This guy is quite friendly.
Even at this time, he still didn't forget the guards who had just been killed.
Among all the princes, it seems that only the Thirteenth Prince is more loyal and righteous.
Chu Ning nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "These people were killed to protect Brother Thirteen, they really should be buried properly!
Come, collect the bodies of these people and put them in good coffins. If they have family members, let them come and claim them. If they don’t have family members, take them outside the city and find a place with good feng shui to bury them.”
"Yes!" The White Horse Cavalry responded and immediately went down to collect the bodies.
"Thank you, Eighteenth Brother!" The Thirteenth Prince bowed with gratitude.
Chu Ning shook his head and said, "I believe you have seen what happened tonight, Thirteenth Brother. Third Brother has already had the intention to kill. If it weren't for me joining forces with the other brothers tonight, you would be in great danger tonight.
However, considering Third Brother's temper, he will most likely not let this matter go and he will definitely take action again!
How about this, I will send someone to escort you, Thirteenth Brother, to find the other brothers and tell them what just happened.
Let's split up into two groups and pass on the message as quickly as possible, so that they won't be harassed by the Third Brother again."
If these princes were defeated one by one by the Third Prince, they would not be able to fight back at all.
The best way is to prepare in advance and not give the third prince a chance to take action.
Although the Thirteenth Prince was not interested in political affairs, since this matter concerned his life and property, he did not dare to be careless at this moment and nodded in agreement:
"Eighteenth brother is right. We must let others know the sinister face of third brother as soon as possible!"
The Thirteenth Prince was extremely angry as he almost died at the hands of the Third Prince tonight.
But he also knew that now was not the time to seek revenge on the Third Prince, and he had to first notify the others to prepare.
As soon as he finished speaking, he led a team of white horse cavalry and headed straight for the Fifth Prince's residence, which was the closest to this place.
Chu Ning raised his lips slightly and led another team of white horse cavalry straight to the Ninth Prince's mansion.
The two men had clear division of labor and each notified several princes before returning to the mansion.
At this moment, the sky had already brightened, and the white horse cavalry that had followed the Thirteenth Prince also returned to the palace.
Prince Chu's Palace, at the gate.
Chu Ning, who returned first, looked indifferent as he stood on the steps of the palace.
Soon, a team of white horse cavalry rode back.
"I have met His Highness!"
Chu Ning, who was waiting for them, nodded slightly: "No need to be polite. Did the Thirteenth Prince ask you to bring a message to this king?"
The leading captain said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the Thirteenth Prince asked me to tell you that the other princes have stepped up their guard and have said that they will never allow this matter to continue."
After getting the answer he wanted, a sneer appeared on Chu Ning's lips.
"Very good, even if Third Brother takes action again next time, I think he will have to think twice before doing anything!"
Chu Ning took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "Send the news immediately and say that in view of the murder of the Sixth Prince, all of us princes have reached an agreement that if anyone's mansion is attacked in the future, as long as the signal smoke is released, the other princes will rush to the scene immediately!"
"Yes!" the man responded and went downstairs to make arrangements immediately.
After arranging everything, Chu Ning yawned and went back to his room to rest.
In just one hour, the news spread throughout Kyoto.
For a time, everyone was talking about it.
Even the emperor was listening to Zhao Ming's report with a gloomy face.
Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.
"Humph, the third brother is getting more and more excessive!"
The emperor snorted coldly and slammed the table and stood up: "It's fine that he killed the sixth brother, but he even wants to kill the thirteenth brother. Does he want to kill all his brothers?"
Zhao Ming lowered his head and dared not speak.
In fact, he knew that if the third prince killed other princes, it would be fine, and the emperor might not be so angry.
But the Thirteenth Prince was the one who liked martial arts the most and disliked political affairs the least among all the princes.
Killing the Thirteenth Prince means that the Third Prince wants to completely control the military power!
The reason is very simple. If the third prince becomes the crown prince, he will definitely kill Chu Ning. At that time, someone must lead Chu Ning's troops.
The Thirteenth Prince is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Killing the Thirteenth Prince at this moment is equivalent to eliminating an opponent who can compete with him for military power.
This completely touched the emperor's reverse scale.
The emperor supported the third prince only to suppress the other Chu Ning, but he never thought of letting the third prince take control of the military power.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ming whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, now all the princes are united under the matchmaking of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
This news spread in the city today. I think it was deliberately spread by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu to warn the Third Prince not to act recklessly. "
The emperor calmed down after hearing this. After he calmed down, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
"Fortunately, Chu Ning arrived in time last night, otherwise Old Thirteen would have been killed by Old Three!"
"But why did Chu Ning rush over there last night? Logically, after he came out of Zuixianlou, shouldn't he have returned home?"
The emperor knew everything that happened last night.
With so many princes gathered together, how could the emperor not know?
But what surprised him was why Chu Ning appeared when the Thirteenth Prince was in trouble.
Since the third brother dared to take action, he must have made all the preparations. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to get rid of the Thirteenth Prince.
But in the end it was still destroyed by Chu Ning.
So, he was very curious about why Chu Ning was able to arrive in time and save the Thirteenth Prince.
"This……"
Zhao Ming's face changed slightly: "Your Majesty, I have not thought about this matter carefully, but now that I think about it carefully, this matter is indeed a bit strange.
At that time, the shadow guard reported that the King of Chu was returning with his troops, and I did not ask any more questions. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the King of Chu made a surprise attack and rescued the Thirteenth Prince.
Maybe... maybe the Thirteenth Prince is not destined to die."
This answer made the emperor look at Zhao Ming fiercely.
What do you mean by "it's not your destiny to die"? This is clearly an excuse.
"Huh, when did you learn to be so slick?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Chu Ning was able to arrive at the critical moment, he must have received the news, there is no doubt about that!
Now what you have to do is to find out who leaked the information to Chu Ning, understand?"
"Yes! I will go down and investigate the matter right away!" Zhao Ming bowed and retreated quickly.
The emperor looked at the empty hall, a cold look in his eyes: "Chu Ning, your power is growing, and you are so well-informed.
Humph, I want to see how you will deal with the attack of the Third Brother after the troops from Sizhou enter the capital today!"
Calculating the time, the troops from Sizhou will enter the capital today!
