Chapter 392 You are born in the year of the dog!
"What? Father wants me to receive the Crown Prince of Zhao?"
The second prince's residence.
Chu Ming was stunned at first when he heard the news, and then he laughed: "Father is indeed fair. He knew that I suffered a loss at the hands of Chu Ning this time, so he specially arranged this matter for me."
Chu Ming rolled his eyes, and a playful look appeared on his face: "Eighteenth brother, eighteenth brother, I will definitely beat you this time!
Come here, pack up the silver, I will personally deliver it to my eighteenth brother!"
Such a good opportunity must of course be given to Chu Ning personally.
By the way, let's humiliate him severely to avenge what happened in Yingwu Palace today.
He is just a bastard, yet he dares to go against me and even pretends to trick me in front of everyone.
Just wait and see how I will deal with you!
Soon, 110,000 taels of silver were ready, and the second prince rode his horse and led his men to escort it personally.
Half an hour later, in the backyard of Prince Chu's Mansion.
Chu Ning held a spear in his hand, exuding an imposing manner, completely different from his usual nonchalant appearance, and his pistol skills were powerful and ferocious.
After cultivating inner strength, spearmanship was put on the agenda, and he would practice martial arts in the backyard every day when he had nothing to do.
In the pavilion nearby, Shen Wanying was embroidering mandarin ducks on a silk handkerchief while glancing at Chu Ning from time to time.
At this moment, Shen Wanying even had an impulse, thinking how nice it would be if she could live like this forever.
Just then, heavy footsteps were heard outside the yard.
Chu Ning, who was practicing martial arts, raised his eyebrows, retracted the spear in his hand, and threw the spear onto the weapon rack.
Without thinking, I knew from the footsteps that it must be Ran Ming coming.
Being able to get Ran Ming to come and report in person is certainly no small matter.
Sure enough, Ran Ming came in and bowed, "Your Highness, the Second Prince is here and asked to see you."
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed across his face: "What is he doing here at this time?"
At this time, Shen Wanying put down her silk handkerchief and walked to Chu Ning and said with a smile: "You can't say you are here to give me money."
Ran Ming at the side chuckled: "Princess, you really guessed it right. The second prince did bring silver here."
But Chu Ning still looked cautious: "Just now, the shadows of the crown prince and fourth brother were sent, but they did not come in person. How could they let second brother come in person for such a small matter?"
Shaking his head, he chuckled, "Forget it, it's no wonder that I'm guessing too much. Let's go and take a look first."
The living room is filled with the aroma of tea.
Four large boxes were placed in the hall, looking particularly eye-catching.
The second prince Chu Ming was holding the teacup with a calm expression, sipping tea leisurely.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the hall, and then Chu Ning's figure appeared in the eyes of the second prince.
"Hahahaha, what wind brings Second Brother here?"
The voice arrived before the person did. As the words fell, Chu Ning came in front of the second prince.
The second prince smiled slightly, pointed at the four large boxes and said, "I have brought you the things I promised to give to my eighteenth brother in the palace just now."
Chu Ning glanced at the four large boxes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "For such a small matter, my second brother can just send his subordinates to deliver it, not to mention troubling my second brother to go there in person?"
Having said that, Chu Ning opened the four boxes one by one, revealing the glittering silver inside.
The dazzling lights made it difficult to see anything else. Chu Ning took a quick glance and confirmed that everything was correct. Then he closed the box with a smile.
"Second brother is really a trustworthy man!" Chu Ning did not forget to praise him.
The second prince's mouth twitched.
He says nice things after receiving money. Could this guy be born in the Year of the Dog?
Don't be angry, don't be angry. I came here today to teach this kid a lesson.
Taking a deep breath, the second prince forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I will never break my promise."
Chu Ning laughed: "Then I would like to thank you for the money, second brother. Come on, take the money down!"
Eight palace guards came into the hall and carried away four large boxes in groups of two.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Chu Ning extended his hand and said, "Thank you, second brother, for personally sending the money here today. I have something else to do later, so I won't keep you for dinner."
After taking the silver, of course you have to chase the person away.
Otherwise, why keep it for lunch?
The second prince was stunned.
This guy changes his expression so quickly!
However, since I came here in person, it is not possible for me to leave so easily.
The second prince narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Since you are busy, I will not disturb you. However, there is one thing I need to tell you. Father asked me to receive the Crown Prince of Zhao!
This marriage is related to the safety of our dynasty and Zhao State in the next few years. As a brother, I don’t want any accidents to happen. Father is also encouraging this matter. I hope that my eighteenth brother will not cause any trouble! "
As soon as he opened his mouth, he put a hat on Chu Ning.
Chu Ning reacted.
Turns out he was here to show off!
"Congratulations to my second brother for taking over the job that the Crown Prince was in charge of!"
Chu Ning grinned: "I wonder if the Crown Prince will cause trouble for you, my second brother, when he finds out about this?"
Instead of saying a word about the marriage, they deliberately tried to stir up conflict between the Crown Prince and me.
Humph, this method of sowing discord is too low-level!
"Don't worry, Eighteenth Brother. The Crown Prince is not so narrow-minded. Moreover, it is you who was appointed by our father to be in charge of this matter!"
The second prince said calmly, "Princess Mingyue and Princess Chu have a good relationship, so please do not interfere in the marriage.
Otherwise, you will ruin your father's plan, and you won't be able to take the responsibility."
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes.
This is a warning!
It's not just about showing off.
It seems that the second prince already knows something.
"Second brother, I heard that you suggested this marriage to our father. I wonder if you have asked Lord Feng Anguo for his opinion on this matter?"
Chu Ning stared at the second prince and asked in a cold voice.
The second prince laughed and patted Chu Ning on the shoulder: "Eighteenth brother, you are too naive!"
"Can a mere assistant minister of the Ministry of War influence such a marriage?"
"So what if he agrees? Can he still refuse?"
After saying this, the Second Prince walked out of the hall, laughing and saying, "Eighteenth brother, I have said everything I need to say. You can do whatever you want!"
Chu Ning stared at his departing back, a solemn look appearing on his face.
Judging from the Second Prince's appearance, he probably wants to increase his influence through marriage. It will be more difficult to disrupt this marriage!
I thought that after we captured ten cities on the front line, Zhao would definitely cancel the marriage in anger.
But judging from the fact that the Crown Prince of Zhao still wanted to come, it seemed that the other party did not want to cancel the marriage at all.
This will cause trouble.
Both parties have the idea of marriage, and it is indeed difficult for outsiders to disrupt this.
But, so what?
Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of amusement: "It's interesting only when it's difficult!"
"Since the Crown Prince of Zhao is coming, let's give him a meeting gift!"
"Just wait, the day you arrive in Kyoto City is when you will be humiliated!"
