Chapter 497: Ning Fan Turns Hostile, the Princes Fight Among Themselves

Seeing Ning Fan refuse without a second thought, Mu Qingcheng also showed a bit of disappointment, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

This bastard, when he needed her help, he called her Qingcheng all the time, but now, when she asked him for help, he called her Your Majesty all the time.

He used to call her Little Sweetie when he accompanied her to watch the moon, but now he calls her Madam Niu when he replaced her with a new one?

This is very Ning Fan!

"Since Your Highness doesn't agree, forget it. I just mentioned it casually."

"I suddenly forgot that half a month ago, Dayan sent Shichen to my Dali, and it seemed that Emperor Yan wanted to make friends."

"Hehe!" Ning Fan looked at Mu Qingcheng with a fake smile: "Your Majesty, are you threatening me?"

Ning Fan stepped forward and put his face directly in front of Mu Qingcheng. There was no color in his eyes. He said lightly: "If Dali intends to divide my Dayu with Dayan, it doesn't matter. The victory or defeat will be decided on the battlefield."

"Dayan sent an envoy to Dali. Whether it is for the intention of making friends or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Mu Qingcheng looked at Ning Fan's cold and ruthless appearance, and seemed a little palpitating, and it was even more difficult to accept. Where was the tenderness he had shown to her before?

Why did he suddenly become so cold, was it all pretending before?

"Your Majesty, I can lend you the soldiers, but..."

"Speak!"

...

Nine-layer pass

Nine seats were arranged in the hall, and in front of each seat sat a lord, who were the nine lords of Guanshan.

"Everyone, we are gathered here today to discuss important matters!"

"Now, the Central Plains' Dali army is heading straight for Guanshan. For the five million people of Guanshan, we should put aside our prejudices and fight against foreign forces together. What do you think?"

The speaker was a middle-aged man with a dignified face and extraordinary demeanor.

"King Qi, my nine lords have always been fighting for a long time. Now, the Central Plains army is knocking on the pass. To put it bluntly, it is your business, King Qi."

"Once the Central Plains army enters the pass, your two states will bear the brunt."

"Now let us brothers come together to fight for you. What about the food and grass supplies of our brothers?"

A middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks was holding tea, but his eyes were looking straight at King Qi, and his tone was also a bit intriguing.

"King Zhao is right. If the people from the Central Plains come knocking on the gate, even if we have to fight, you, King Qi, should fight them to the death first."

"Now, we are here to help, and the food and grass supply should be borne by King Qi."

"That's right!"

"Hahaha, Lao Han, Lao Zhao, this is what you are wrong about."

"As for the food and grass supply, King Qi didn't say he doesn't care. I will let King Qi send 100,000 stones of food and grass to each of the brothers. It's not a big deal, right, Lao Qi?"

For a moment, all the princes looked at King Qi with a bit of amusement on their faces.

"You all have a point. The supply of food and grass should indeed be borne by me." King Qi had a faint smile on his face and said calmly: "However, if you take my food and grass, you have to work for me."

"What do you think?"

"Of course!"

"Don't worry, Lao Qi, as long as the food and grass arrive, my brothers will never hesitate. The barbarians from the Central Plains dare to invade our mountains and rivers. They will definitely not return."

"Yes, my Lushan Army can take the lead."

"Hahaha, Lao Lu, this time the brothers will meet, only you have a small number of people, and you have only three thousand soldiers and horses. Do you have the nerve to sit in the same hall with us?"

"Old Cheng, what do you mean?"

King Lu suddenly widened his eyes, with a look of anger: "I brought the most elite Kaoshan Camp under my command. Could it be that I have to learn from you and bring 20,000 rabble casually?"

"Asshole!"

King Cheng was instantly He slammed the table and stood up, glancing at King Xu who was sitting opposite him, and said lightly: "This group of rabble under my command has also defeated someone's 30,000 troops."

"You bastards, you are biting each other, what the hell do you care about me?"

"Who do you say is the dog?"

"Hehe, whoever barks the loudest is the dog!"

"How dare you!"

"Come here, take him down for me."

"Who dares!"

The hall was instantly in chaos. King Qi sat at the top with a headache, his face as black as the bottom of a pot: "That's enough!"

"I summoned you all here to resist foreign enemies, not to fight with me?"

"It's been a few years, haven't you had enough?"

"Do you want to set up a few square formations in front of the Dali formation, and you guys can decide the winner first?"

Seeing King Qi get angry, everyone calmed down their anger, but they still frowned and looked at each other.

"I have said before that, on weekdays, our mutual attacks are our business in Guanshan. No matter whether we win or lose, or even if I am killed by you, I will never say anything and will only admit that I am inferior to you."

"But if we fight, and Guanshan is taken by the people of the Central Plains, how can we explain to the people under our rule and the soldiers under our command?"

"After a hundred years, how can we face our ancestors in the underworld?"

"That's right!" King Lu also nodded and said, "King Qi is right. No matter how the various princes in Guanshan fight, it is our own business. But if outsiders want to take advantage of the situation, I, Lu, will be the first to disagree."

"Tomorrow morning, we will attack the eight passes together."

"Do you have any objections?"

King Qi looked around, and King Zhao said with a fake smile, "As long as the food and grass are in place, everything will be fine."

"That's right, it will be fine when the food and grass arrive."

"Okay, I will allocate 10,000 shi of grain to you. Tomorrow morning, can you attack the Eightfold Pass?"

"10,000 shi?"

"Hmph!" King Qi snorted coldly and said indifferently: "You are all smart people, so don't treat me as a fool."

"I have no objection!"

"Yes, tomorrow we will knock on the gate together, and kill the cubs in the Central Plains first!"

"Hahaha, okay, I, Lao Lu, will be the vanguard tomorrow!"

...

Huainan.

Lingzhou City, Baixiangju.

Ning Taisui and Mo Rufeng sat opposite each other, with fine wine and delicious food on the table, beauties serving beside them, and sandalwood floating in the hall.

"Old Ning, your nephew has already entered Guanshan, and your court doesn't know about it yet?"

"Why?"

Ning Taisui glanced at him and said lightly: "It's his ability to enter Guanshan. The court doesn't know about it, which is incompetent."

"This Guanshan has been managed by that kid. If I'm not mistaken, the people in the court have been sidelined by this kid."

"Hahaha!"

Mo Rufeng laughed out loud, moved in front of Ning Taisui, and lowered his voice and said: "With the power of King Yong, if he has evil intentions, what do you think is the chance of winning?"

"Thirty percent."

"Hmm?"

Mo Rufeng frowned and said playfully: "I'm afraid it's more than that. Now King Yong has many brave generals and talented people under his command, and the 100,000-man army is even more powerful."
