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

Chapter 700: The Poison Master Takes Action

The second prince’s residence, living room.

Cao Ping sat upright in the main seat, holding the teacup in his hand, sipping it slowly.

At the first seat below, there sat a thin middle-aged man wearing a black robe, with a three-goat beard and narrow eyes.

Cao Zhi didn't say anything. This man was quite calm and kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.

After a long while, Cao Zhi looked at the empty cup of tea in his hand, shook his head and smiled, "Master Jia is really able to keep his composure."

Jia Yu said calmly, "The Second Prince has summoned me. I don't know the matter, so I dare not speak nonsense."

"You~"

Cao Zhi chuckled and said, "You are always so cautious in everything you do. Forget it, I won't keep you in suspense."

"I'm sure you've heard about Cao Zhi's murder. Father was furious and was determined to take revenge."

"However, Chu Ning is in Chang'an City after all. There is still friction between our dynasty and the Han Dynasty. If we take action in Chang'an City, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"So, this time, the emperor wants you to take the assassins with you and wait for the emperor's order before taking action."

Jia Yu's face changed, and he stood up and said, "I obey your orders!"

"but……"

Jia Yu frowned: "The emperor of the Han Dynasty is not an ordinary person. They may have made preparations. This matter still needs long-term consideration and careful planning before it can be implemented."

Jia Yu is a cautious person and will not act rashly unless he is absolutely sure.

Cao Zhi knew Jia Yu very well, so he was not surprised. He chuckled and said, "Lord Jia is very smart. I believe you will find a way to handle this matter!"

"Now that Cao Zhi has been killed, I have a great chance of becoming the crown prince. If you can kill Chu Ning, then it will be a foregone conclusion that I will become the crown prince!"

"When I ascend the throne in the future, I will never forget Lord Jia's contribution today!"

This time, Cao De handed the matter over to Cao Pi. If Jia Yu could complete the task, he would take the opportunity to become famous.

By then, there will be no obstacle for him to become the crown prince by avenging his brother and killing the prince of Great Chu.

How could Jia Xu, who was so smart, not understand the meaning of Cao Zhi's words? Hearing this, his face straightened and he saluted: "Second Prince, please rest assured. If there is a chance, I will definitely take Chu Ning's head!"

"However, this trip to the Han Dynasty is full of dangers. To be on the safe side, please give me a token of trust in case of emergency."

There is certainly no problem in entering the Han Dynasty openly, but if you enter secretly and are discovered, it would be difficult to explain, so you still need an identity as a cover.

Cao Ping laughed: "Master Jia is really thoughtful. How about this? You take my personal jade pendant and I will write you a letter to prove that you are the chief officer sent by our dynasty to deal with the matter of Prince Chen's brother."

After saying this, Cao Ping shouted outside the hall: "Come here, bring some writing brushes and ink!"

The maid brought writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and Cao Ping quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Jia Yu.

Jia Yu glanced at the contents of the letter, then bowed and said, "I will go down and prepare. I will lead the death squad to Chang'an City in an hour."

Cao Ping nodded slightly, changing his confident look, stepped forward and patted Jia Yu on the shoulder, and said seriously: "This matter is related to the future of this king. Lord Jia must succeed!"

As long as he succeeds, it will be a foregone conclusion that he will become the crown prince.

Jia Yu understood the seriousness of the matter and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Second Prince, I will do everything I can to handle this matter!"

He bowed, turned and left.

Cao Ping looked at his departing back, a hint of amusement appearing on his face.

Although Chu Ning is very cunning, likes to cheat people, and even likes to take advantage, these are all left over from Jia Yu's past tricks.

As long as Jia Yu takes action, he will be able to take Chu Ning's head!

He still has great confidence in Jia Yu.

No matter how powerful Chu Ning is, he is just a teenager under 20 years old. Compared with an old fox like Jia Yu, he is still a little young.

"Chu Ning, Chu Ning, I want to see how you die this time!"

The Han Dynasty will definitely not give a satisfactory explanation to the Wei Dynasty. At that time, Jia Yu will have a reason to take action.

Once Jia Yu takes action, Chu Ning will surely die.

Of course, even if the Han Dynasty gave an explanation to the Wei Dynasty, Jia Yu would find a reason to take action.

In a word, Chu Ning was doomed.

The death squad brought this time has stronger combat effectiveness than the imperial guards. The people around Chu Ning are no match for them at all.

Chu Ning will definitely die!

Just when Cao Ping was excited, Chu Ning in Chang'an City ran into trouble.

Chang'an City, villa, living room.

Chu Ning looked at Huo Quji who came to him angrily to ask for punishment, and couldn't help but laugh: "What made the Champion Marquis so angry?"

Huo Quji stared at Chu Ning with a cold face: "King Chu, stop pretending in front of me. Don't you know what you did?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "Marquis Guanjun, are you talking about the fact that I asked Prime Minister Di to send people to keep an eye on Princess Changping and the others?"

"Humph!" Huo Quji snorted coldly: "Why do you do this? Do you not trust them or do you not trust me?"

"This Marquis and Prime Minister Di have been investigating this matter, but you asked him to send people to keep an eye on the four envoys. Aren't you embarrassing the Han Dynasty?"

"Four envoys have already reported to the emperor, requesting that the people be transferred immediately."

Chu Ning finally understood that Huo Quji was here to give him orders.

"Champion Hou doesn't seem to have figured out one thing!"

Chu Ning said calmly, "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty asked me to find the murderer within a month, but he did not restrict me from using any means."

"Now, Marquis Guanjun, you are blocking my investigation. Are you trying to protect the murderer?"

When a big hat was put on him, Huo Quji's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Although he knew that Chu Ning was shameless, he did not expect Chu Ning to be so shameless.

"It's totally unreasonable!"

Huo Quji frowned, his face full of displeasure: "You are putting our Han Dynasty in an unjust position by doing this. You must withdraw these people, otherwise I will personally lead people to capture them!"

If negotiations fail, we have no choice but to resort to force.

As the Marquis of Guanjun, Huo Quji has his own pride.

What's more, this is the capital city of the Han Dynasty. How can Chu Ning be allowed to do whatever he wants? He must show the domineering attitude of the Marquis of Champion!

But Chu Ning didn't buy it at all, and chuckled: "If you want to arrest someone, I won't stop you."

"But if I can't find the murderer after a month, the responsibility will be entirely on you. You better think about it carefully!"

Since Huo Quji was impolite, Chu Ning would not give him face.

It's impossible to use your identity to suppress Chu Ning!

Huo Quji seemed to realize this, his face darkened, and he said in a gentle tone: "Is there no room for negotiation on this matter?"

Chu Ning shook his head and said firmly: "Instead of fighting with me here, Marquis Guanjun should go and persuade those four."

"Compared to this king, they are much easier to deal with."

These words made Huo Quji's mouth twitch. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that what Chu Ning said was true.

"Since the King of Chu refuses to give in, I will take my leave!"

Huo Quji said coldly: "But the Han Dynasty will not interfere with Wei's revenge!"
