Chapter 410: Clearing up the mystery, the death of the second prince!
"Put down your weapons and wait for your father's orders?"
"Hahahaha!"
Under the cover of night, the voice of the Second Prince Chu Ming resounded throughout the area, with a hint of sadness and indignation in his voice.
When the voice fell, the second prince's eyes suddenly changed, revealing a fierce look, staring at Chu Ning:
"You know that I have already lost, completely, and there is no possibility of recovery in this life!
Going back is a dead end. Do you think I would be stupid enough to go back with you?"
Chu Ning frowned: "It is not up to you whether you go back or not. I only need to give an order and I can disperse your troops in an instant."
In terms of combat, the troops under the Second Prince were not strong, only slightly stronger than the county troops.
But even so, the second prince continued to laugh wildly: "Eighteenth brother, your cavalry is indeed powerful, but even if you kill me and all my soldiers tonight, I will never go back with you!
And you must have come to rescue Zhao Tianling tonight on the orders of our father, but now he has been killed by me, and you will not be able to report back if you go back, and you will definitely be severely punished by our father.
How about this, you and I join forces, break into the palace together, seize the throne, and divide the country equally!
With the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under your command, as long as you deceive the imperial guards and enter the palace, no one can be your opponent.
Once successful, I will take the four states in the south and the four states in the north!"
At this moment, the second prince was not panicked, but instead persuaded Chu Ning to rebel together.
Ran Ming couldn't stand listening to this, and sneered: "How could His Highness rebel with you? If you know what's good for you, you should just lay down your weapons and surrender!"
Feng Mulan said nothing, but just stared at the second prince with disdain.
Chu Ning fell silent.
The second prince is stubborn and a war is inevitable.
However, before that, there was one thing he was unclear about.
"Although my suggestion is good, I don't have such intention."
Chu Ning said in a low voice, and sighed: "It seems that you and I, brothers, can only fight each other. Although I have no choice, but my second brother insists on doing so, so I can only accompany him.
But before that, there is one thing I don't understand, please help me, brother."
The second prince narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Ning deeply. "It just so happens that I also have something to ask my eighteenth brother!"
"In that case, please ask first, second brother!" Chu Ning had already guessed what he wanted to ask.
The second prince snorted coldly: "Why did Zhao Tianling's stolen betrothal gifts appear in the villa outside this king's city, and why did the crown prince interfere in this matter?"
If this incident had not happened suddenly, the marriage would have been completed long ago and would not have evolved to this point.
Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled, "Brother, you already have the answer in your mind, why do you have to ask again and again?"
"It turned out that you were the one who sent people to snatch the betrothal gifts from the State of Zhao!"
The second prince's eyes turned cold: "But even so, how did you hide the betrothal gifts in this king's villa without anyone noticing?"
This matter has always troubled the second prince. If the emperor had not found the betrothal gifts in his villa outside the city, he would not have changed his attitude.
"This is easy!"
Chu Ning smiled and explained: "I deliberately sent people to create the illusion of delivering betrothal gifts outside your villa to lure the people from the Ministry of Justice to investigate.
At the same time, I bribed the official of the Ministry of Justice to report the existence of betrothal gifts in the villa.
When the Minister of Justice, Lord Ling, leads the officers of the Ministry of Justice to search the villa, your people will surely resist. While the two sides are fighting fiercely at the gate of the villa, my people will secretly bring the betrothal gifts into the villa through the side door."
The second prince's mouth twitched when he heard this.
Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still felt indignant when he heard that he was framed by Chu Ning.
"What a good Eighteenth Brother! What a good frame-up! What a good attempt to sow discord!"
The Second Prince suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, Crown Prince thought he had won, but he didn't expect that he was just a pawn in your hands, Eighteenth Brother!"
Chu Ning touched his nose and felt a little ashamed of his actions this time.
But the look of shame flashed across his face, and then he chuckled and said, "Next, it's your turn to help me solve my doubts.
I heard that you were the one who proposed this marriage to your father, but Princess Mingyue is clearly the daughter of Lord Feng, and Lord Feng supports you, so why did you still want to marry Princess Mingyue to the Crown Prince of Zhao?"
This is what Chu Ning cannot understand the most.
Everything was fine, so why did the second prince want to mess with the daughter of his own subordinate?
Isn't this a self-destructive helper?
But the second prince sneered when he heard this: "Do you think this is what I want? All this is because the father and daughter of the Feng family are ungrateful!
Humph, ever since you and Shen Wanying got married, Feng Mulan's relationship with your Chu Palace has become closer and closer, and as a result, the relationship between Feng Anguo and me has become more and more distant.
It just so happens that Feng Anguo is the Minister of War and can mobilize troops. In order to control him, I decided to teach him a lesson.
It just so happened that Feng Mulan was living in your mansion at this time. I was worried that she would become your concubine, so I asked you to recruit Feng Anguo, so I was in a hurry to marry Feng Mulan to the Crown Prince of Zhao!
This way, I won't have to worry about you becoming too powerful, and I can eliminate the possibility of Feng Anguo joining you. I can also make friends with the Crown Prince of Zhao and please my father. I'll kill four birds with one stone!"
After hearing this, Chu Ning suddenly realized that the fuse of this incident was Feng Mulan moving into the palace.
His eyes unconsciously looked at Feng Mulan beside him.
At this moment, Feng Mulan was also stunned for a moment. She never dreamed that this matter was caused by herself.
But then she came back to her senses, stared at the Second Prince with a sneer, "Humph, it's obvious that you acted so recklessly for your own selfish reasons, and you even want to put the blame on me!
Humph, let me see how I take you down!"
After saying this, Feng Mulan swung the light sword in her hand and rode away on her horse.
Chu Ning frowned and immediately gave the order: "White Horse Cavalry, three rounds of rapid fire, fire!"
Suddenly, the trigger of the crossbow was pulled, and the crossbow was fired, with dense numbers of sharp arrows whizzing out.
The soldiers under the Second Prince's command did not expect Chu Ning to be so decisive. They started fighting without even saying a word. They were caught off guard and a large number of them were shot down.
At the same time, Feng Mulan rushed to the second prince, scaring the surrounding soldiers so much that they rushed forward to stop her.
Feng Mulan was like a female war god, and wherever the light sword in her hand passed, screams were heard.
At the same time, Ran Ming led the white horse cavalry and charged forward after shooting three rounds of sharp arrows.
Although the Second Prince also had cavalry under his command, they were no match for him at all, not to mention the two killing gods, Ran Ming and Feng Mulan, who disrupted the Second Prince's formation in the blink of an eye.
The cavalry rushed in and killed the Second Prince's soldiers, causing them to scream in pain and wailing all over the place.
In just one hour, all the soldiers under the Second Prince's command were wiped out, leaving only a dozen personal soldiers around him.
The white horse cavalry surrounded them. Chu Ning rode up to the second prince and said indifferently:
"Second brother, surrender, you have no choice!"
"Surrender? Hahahaha!"
The second prince laughed wildly: "I will never surrender!"
After he finished speaking, the Second Prince slashed his neck with the sword in his hand. A pool of blood splattered, a bloodstain appeared, and the Second Prince fell down weakly.
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers drew their swords and committed suicide!
