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

Chapter 301 Compromise

"Wusi came in person?"

inside the house.

When Chu Ning heard the news, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

As the commander-in-chief, how could he personally take part in negotiations?

Isn't this equivalent to telling the opponent that this negotiation is very important?

but……

Thinking that Wu Ming's real identity was Wu Zhao, a hint of amusement appeared on Chu Ning's face.

Others know Wu Ming’s true identity, but Wu Si definitely knows it.

This is the Empress of the Great Zhou. How could Wu Si not be nervous? How could he not come in person?

Thinking of this, Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his head to look at the expressionless and dull empress on the bed, and chuckled:

"Your nephew has come to rescue you."

The empress seemed to have lost all perception of external things and turned a deaf ear to Chu Ning's words.

Chu Ning laughed, reached out to pick up his clothes and put them on. Before leaving, he picked up the quilt and covered the empress with it.

"Be good and wait for me here. I will come and deal with you after I finish talking to you!"

After saying that, Chu Ning turned around and walked out of the room.

However, the moment the door closed, Chu Ning hurriedly held onto the pillar beside him.

A man who has been strong all his life would never show weakness in front of the empress. He would force himself to come out even if his legs were weak.

But Zhao Yu in the yard saw this and his face changed drastically. He thought something had happened to Chu Ning, and hurried forward to support him, saying with concern:

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Ning shook his head and pretended to be calm: "I am fine, I just overdrawn my energy. If you have any medicine to replenish my energy, bring some over."

Not eating for a day and a night, and having to keep exercising, even if Chu Ning's physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, he can't handle it.

What else can I do now? I can only take some medicine to replenish my strength, otherwise I will not have the energy to deal with the subsequent negotiations.

Although Zhao Yu didn't know why Chu Ning was consuming his energy, it was an order and he could only execute it.

"Your Highness, I have some pills to replenish your physical strength." Chu Ning said as he handed over the medicine bottle in his hand.

Chu Ning took the pills without saying a word and ate two of them.

A warm current rushed into the body, and the empty body suddenly felt comfortable. The originally light footsteps became firm at this moment.

Chu Ning felt the changes in his body and asked, "Master, did you come here alone?"

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Yes, he came alone and specifically asked to negotiate with you, Your Highness, alone."

Negotiate alone?

It seems that Wu Si wants to reveal the true identity of the empress, otherwise he would not ask to negotiate with me alone!

But it’s better this way. Negotiating alone will help me make more requests.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile: "Let's go and meet this General Wu!"

As he spoke, under the guidance of Zhao Yu, Chu Ning came to the living room of the government office.

The hall was filled with the aroma of tea.

But this refreshing tea could not calm Wu Si down. Instead, as time went by, he became more and more irritated.

The empress was captured and the matter could not be reported back to the country, so they could only rely on their own strength to rescue her.

But Chu Ning looked like a despicable villain. How could he possibly save the empress if he negotiated with such a person without paying a huge price?

While deep in thought, I suddenly heard footsteps outside the hall.

Wu Si looked up and saw Chu Ning walking towards him.

"Your Highness the King of Chu!" Wu Si's face straightened and he stepped forward to salute.

Although he looked down on Chu Ning, the illegitimate son, he was a prince after all, and according to his position and title, he had to show respect to him.

Chu Ning laughed: "General Wu, you are too polite. Come on, sit down and talk."

As he spoke, Chu Ning walked to the main seat, picked up the teacup and took a sip without hesitation.

From last night till now, I have been conquering the empress for a whole day and night without even a sip of water. I am really thirsty.

Wu Si certainly had no mood to drink tea, and said solemnly with a serious face: "This time I came to see His Royal Highness the King of Chu because of General Wu Ming!

I wonder what His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants in exchange for General Wu Ming being released?"

Since he was in Chu Ning's hands, he had to be more humble.

As long as Chu Ning agrees to release the person, any conditions can be negotiated.

But Chu Ning shook his head and chuckled when he heard this: "General Wu Ming is a prisoner. I am going to send him back to Kyoto City. Please let the emperor deal with him."

When these words came out, Wu Si was shocked.

The empress was captured here, but not many people knew about it, and no one knew the empress's identity. It would be best if the case could be resolved here.

But if Chu Ning sends her to the capital city of Great Chu, the identity of the empress will surely be recognized, and the matter will surely spread throughout the world!

We must not let Chu Ning send the empress back to Kyoto!

Wu Si made up his mind, his face changed immediately, and he said coldly: "It's just a deputy general, why is His Royal Highness the King of Chu mobilizing so many troops?"

"Just a deputy general?"

Chu Ning laughed loudly: "If she was just a deputy general, why would General Wu be so nervous and come to negotiate with me alone?"

These words are telling Wu Si: I know Wu Ming's identity!

Wu Si, who was already a little frightened, suddenly became gloomy.

I thought that if Chu Ning didn't know the identity of the empress, perhaps I could still get rid of her at the lowest cost.

But now Chu Ning knows the identity of the empress. If he wants to replace her, he will have to pay a greater price.

However, how did this kid Chu Ning know the identity of the empress?

Or does this guy want to cheat me?

Although he was frightened, he absolutely could not reveal his flaws so quickly and let Chu Ning gain the upper hand too easily.

Thinking of this, Wu Si narrowed his eyes, a strange look flashed across his eyes, and he pretended to be calm and said, "What does His Royal Highness the King of Chu mean by this?"

Chu Ning grinned, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: “I believe General Wu knows better than anyone what this king meant.

Some things are not good to be said out loud, I can only tell you that Wu Ming’s identity is not just a deputy general! "

I definitely can't reveal the identity of the empress directly, but I have to let Wu Si know that I know the identity of the empress, so I can only hint to Wu Si.

If the identity of the empress is revealed, some things will become difficult to do next.

Wu Si stared at Chu Ning with a serious expression.

Does this person really know the identity of the empress, or is he deliberately deceiving me?

However, if Chu Ning did not know the identity of the empress, how could he dare to be so confident and presumptuous in front of me?

Wu Si narrowed his eyes and quickly came to a conclusion in his mind.

Just pretend that Chu Ning knows the identity of the empress!

This time, we must settle this matter no matter what. We must not let the empress remain in Chu Ning's hands forever.

Wu Si reacted immediately and said coldly: "Your Highness the King of Chu said so much just to gain more benefits!

Your Highness Chu Ning, just tell me, what do you want in exchange for returning General Wu Ming?"

Having said so much, I just want to have more chips.

In order to save the empress, as long as Chu Ning's request is not too excessive, he can agree to it!
