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

The next day, at noon.

Chu Ning, wearing a brand new dragon robe and a purple gold crown, looked very energetic.

After leaving the palace, he led a team of white horse cavalry and headed straight for the Prince of Qin's Palace.

He has arranged for the Jinyiwei to investigate the assassination of Chu Xiao. His meeting with Prince Anding today was just to give face to the old Prince Qin.

No matter what his relationship with Prince Anding was, he had to give face to the old prince who was in charge of the royal family.

Prince Qin's Mansion, at the gate.

A group of soldiers wearing black armor surrounded the place. The leader was tall and holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji. It was actually Dingjun Hou Chu Zan!

"My lord, the prince is here!" a soldier quickly reported.

Chu Zan nodded slightly, signaling the man to leave.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses' hooves came galloping over.

But this place has been occupied by Youzhou soldiers and horses, and there is no space for war horses to pass.

Chu Zan sneered and had no intention of ordering others to pass.

"Your Highness, the Youzhou soldiers have occupied the streets and don't seem to want to give way!" Zhao Yu frowned and reminded in a deep voice.

Chu Ning said calmly: "Go ahead!"

Since the Youzhou soldiers don't want to give way, force them to do so.

When cavalry faces infantry, the one they should fear is the infantry!

At the command, the White Horse Cavalry charged forward in unison, their speed increasing instead of decreasing!

This scene frightened the group of Youzhou soldiers so much that their faces changed drastically.

Even Chu Zan had a gloomy face and was in a difficult situation.

If he ordered the troops to move away at this moment, it would mean that his show of force had failed.

But if he didn't give the order to push back, his troops would surely be lost here.

Judging from Chu Ning's posture, it seems that he has no intention of stopping at all!

"I don't believe he really dares to rush over!"

Chu Zan gritted his teeth, held the Fang Tian Hua Ji tightly in his right hand, and decided to give it a try!

A hundred steps away, the White Horse Cavalry were still charging, and the faces of the Youzhou soldiers looked very ugly.

After fifty steps, the legs of the Youzhou soldiers were trembling. They knew that if they did not retreat, they would be trampled to death by the war horses.

Finally, a soldier couldn't help but shout, "My Lord, if we don't retreat now, it will be too late!"

Chu Zan had a gloomy face and still didn't speak.

At this time, the white horse cavalry had already rushed over.

"Back off!"

No one knew who shouted, but the Youzhou soldiers and horses immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and the white horse cavalry rushed to the gate of the Qin Palace in an instant.

Chu Ning stood on his horse, looking at Chu Zan in front of him with indifferent eyes.

Chu Zan hesitated for a moment, but finally bowed and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Chu Ning glanced at the man, dismounted from his horse, and walked straight into the Prince of Qin's mansion.

From beginning to end, Chu Ning never looked at this person directly.

Chu Zan stared at Chu Ning's departing back. The feeling of being ignored made him furious.

But Chu Zan also understood that Chu Ning was the prince, and he couldn't take any action now!

"Hmph, just wait!" Chu Zan snorted coldly, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, and turned his head away without looking at Chu Ning's back.

After crossing the front yard, Chu Ning came to the living room.

As soon as you enter, the aroma of tea hits you in the face.

Then, the old voice of the old King Qin came: "The Crown Prince is here, please take a seat."

The old King Qin, who was originally sitting in the seat of honor, immediately stood up and gestured to Chu Ning to come forward.

Chu Ning smiled slightly: "Old King Qin is an elder. Although I am the crown prince, I dare not act presumptuously in front of an elder."

"How about this, you and I will sit in the seat of honor at the same time."

After he finished speaking, he ignored King Anding who was standing beside him, and stepped forward to help the old King Qin sit back in his original seat.

Then he sat on the left side of the old King Qin.

As a result, King Anding was the only one left sitting at the lower position.

This scene made Prince Anding's face suddenly look ugly.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like Chu Ning and the old King Qin are interrogating him!

While thinking, Chu Ning took the initiative to ask: "Prince Anding, do you have any objection to me taking the seat of honor?"

Prince Anding snorted coldly: "Your Highness, where you want to sit is your business!"

"I am here today for only one thing!"

"My son Chu Xiao was attacked last night. Did you send someone to do it?"

Straight to the point, without any dragging of words.

The murderous intent in his eyes symbolizes that once the matter is confirmed, he will take action!

The old King Qin frowned upon hearing this and said in a deep voice: "King Anding, didn't we agree to come here today for the affairs of the court?"

King Anding sneered and said, "Originally, for the sake of old King Qin, I am willing to have a detailed discussion with the Crown Prince."

"But my son was pierced through the body by a sharp arrow last night and is still in a coma. How can I not avenge such a great hatred?"

"In this capital city, the only person who dares to do this and has the ability to do this is the Crown Prince!"

"Old King Qin, don't say that I don't give you face. This is about my son's life. I must find out the truth."

With the military power in his hands, the entire Kyoto city and the Qin Palace were surrounded by Youzhou soldiers, and Prince Anding was full of confidence.

Today, he must get an explanation from Chu Ning!

"This……"

The old King Qin frowned, revealing a solemn expression. He turned to look at Chu Ning and asked:

"Your Highness, I don't know about this..."

"It was not my fault."

Chu Ning said calmly: "Old King Qin, you know my methods. If it was really me who did it, the target could not be Marquis Yong'an, but King Anding."

"As long as King Anding is killed, I will be the master of this Kyoto City. Why would I go to such trouble to abandon King Anding and kill Marquis Yong'an?"

After a pause, Chu Ning looked at Prince Anding and said contemptuously, "Prince Anding, if you were me, would you lose sight of the main point and pursue the trivial?"

This rhetorical question made Chu Jing stand there in a daze.

Yes, if Chu Ning really wanted to do something, he could just kill him directly. Why would he attack his son?

While thinking, Chu Ning said, "And since the other party was able to sneak into the palace, why did he lose his aim when he shot, and only hit the shoulder?"

"I have heard that Yong'an Hou has always liked to play with words and is not proficient in martial arts. It would be easy for an assassin to kill someone like him."

"He was not killed. The assassin left him alive on purpose in order to make King Anding suspect me."

Two dogs fight, play off!

It is not difficult to see from King Anding’s current actions that the plan of the man in the dark has been half accomplished.

But unfortunately, the person he met was Chu Ning.

How could such a method be hidden from his eyes?

Upon hearing this, King Anding raised his eyebrows and a hint of doubt flashed across his face.

Although I don't want to admit it, what Chu Ning said does make sense.

His son doesn't even have third-rate strength, and the assassin who could sneak into the palace must be first-rate, or even pseudo-super-first-rate.

The gap in strength between the two sides is so huge, and the attack was deliberate and unintentional, so how could they fail?

The only explanation: the other party showed mercy!

Thinking of this, King Anding narrowed his eyes, looked up at Chu Ning, and said coldly:

"Since the Crown Prince said that the other party deliberately showed mercy and wanted you and me to fight, I wonder if Your Highness knows who else in the city has such wisdom and strength?"

Although Chu Ning's words made sense, King Anding did not believe them.

This was because no one in Kyoto City dared to attack him at this time, and he did not have such a master under his command!

The only one who can meet these two conditions at the same time is Chu Ning!
