"Father, do you want to take advantage of the fact that I have no troops in the city and capture me?"

Chu Ning looked coldly at the dozen or so shadow guards surrounding him and sneered, "It seems that my father has already won the victory."

"In that case, Father, why don't you admit the assassination last night, so that I can admit defeat with a clear conscience."

At this moment, Chu Ning was like a loser, trying to figure out the reason for his failure.

But the emperor sneered: "If the assassin last night was sent by me, do you think Chu Xiao would still be alive?"

This sentence made Chu Ning silent.

In fact, in some ways, he is very similar to the emperor.

Either don't take action, or if you do, you won't give the other party a chance to survive.

If he were the emperor and really wanted to take action, Chu Xiao would have died last night.

While he was deep in thought, the shadow guards had already rushed up, and some even wanted to take him down.

The Imperial Tutor's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he quickly advised: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has not made a big mistake. If you depose the Crown Prince now, it will definitely make the soldiers on the front line..."

"Teacher!"

The emperor shouted angrily, interrupting, "Since I am going to take action, I have made all the necessary preparations. Don't bother with this matter any more!"

He raised his eyes and looked at the shadow guard, glaring at him: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take Chu Ning down!"

The shadow guard did not dare to delay and immediately pounced on Chu Ning.

But Chu Ning sneered: "Father, do you think I would dare to enter the palace alone if I am not prepared?"

After he finished speaking, Chu Ning's figure flashed and he actually avoided the attacks of several shadow guards.

At the same time, a guard outside the palace came to report: "Your Majesty, it's bad, Zhao Yu and his men are about to rush in."

The emperor sneered: "There aren't many people around Zhao Yu. Humph, he actually dared to take action in the palace. Then take him down together!"

"Yes!" The imperial guards responded and immediately went down to pass on the order.

Chu Ning in the hall was besieged by dozens of shadow guards. Although he was not captured, he was also helpless. He could only resist but not fight back.

The shadow guards around the emperor are all top-notch masters!

Looking at Chu Ning who was constantly dodging, the emperor said indifferently: "Chu Ning, surrender. Don't worry, I won't kill you!"

"Most of the soldiers on the front line are your men. I will only put you under house arrest to control the soldiers on the front line!"

"But if you are stubborn, I will kill Zhao Yu and others outside the palace first."

"I believe you don't want to watch Zhao Yu and your white horse cavalry die in front of your eyes, right?"

At this time, he actually wanted to persuade Chu Ning to surrender, and even used Zhao Yu and the White Horse Cavalry as a threat.

But Chu Ning dodged the attack of the shadow guards and sneered, "Father, you will regret this!"

"is it?"

The emperor looked confident and said, "I am very curious, where do you get the confidence to speak to me like this at this moment!"

"Most of the troops from Bingzhou and Yunzhou are in Hecheng, while some of the troops from Liangzhou are in Liangzhou and some are in Liuye City."

"There are only my 20,000 imperial guards in the capital city. No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, can you still escape?"

At this moment, the emperor seemed to have regained the confidence he had when he held great power.

He felt that everything was under his control.

Even someone as strong as Chu Ning has become a bird in a cage, unable to escape from his grasp!

Even though Zhao Yu and his men were coming to rescue him outside the palace, there were a large number of imperial guards outside the palace, and Zhao Yu and his men could not rush in at all.

Today, he will definitely win!

Chu Ning sneered at the emperor who was full of pride, his figure flashing in the hall.

"Since Father is so confident, why didn't he join forces with Prince Anding to capture me from the beginning?"

This is what Chu Ning is puzzled about, and he must figure it out.

In fact, the emperor did not need to wait so long for him to return to the city this time. He could have ordered him to be arrested after he disobeyed the emperor's order and buried Princess Changping.

But the emperor did not do so!

Instead, he waited for King Anding to make trouble over the issue of the royal descendants of the previous dynasty, and then took action after he was caught in a dilemma in the court.

This was something he could not understand.

Wouldn't it be easier to just join forces with King Anding and take him down directly?

But the emperor snorted coldly: "From the beginning to the end, I never thought of taking action against you!"

"You are too much. You actually dared to come to the palace to question me after capturing Prince Anding!"

"Since you don't trust me so much, I will take you down as you wish."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning's face changed slightly.

If the emperor really had no intention of taking action, then the assassin last night was not sent by the emperor.

While he was distracted, a shadow guard kicked him continuously with both feet.

Chu Ning came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows. It was too late to dodge, so he could only cross his hands to protect his chest.

"boom!"

Chu Ning was kicked back repeatedly by three consecutive kicks.

At the same time, other shadow guards also took the opportunity to rush up, forming an airtight attack circle with their palms, fists, and feet, tightly enveloping Chu Ning.

Chu Ning took a deep breath, let out a long roar, and suddenly exerted force with his fists to push away the person in front of him. Then he spread his arms and rotated left and right!

His arms seemed to have a force of a thousand pounds, and he actually broke all the attacks of the shadow guards who rushed up. His fists and feet collided, and the shadow guards flew backwards.

However, two fists are no match for four hands, and Chu Ning was eventually knocked away by the powerful force of several people.

boom! boom! boom!

The shadow guards fell to the ground one after another, spitting out blood, and it was obvious that they were injured.

Chu Ning was also knocked against the pillar of the hall, his body slid down, and he could barely stand on his feet.

"Huhu~huhu~"

He began to breathe heavily and his hands kept shaking. The previous move had consumed a lot of his energy.

The emperor looked at Chu Ning calmly: "I said I won't kill you, why are you struggling?"

"According to the arrangement I have made for you, as long as you hand over the power in your hands, I can let you go to the Zhou Dynasty and spend your old age in peace."

Perhaps because too many sons had died, or perhaps because he felt that killing Chu Ning would not be worth the loss, the emperor never thought of killing Chu Ning.

Even though Chu Ning was surrounded and had consumed a lot of energy, he did not let the shadow guards take the opportunity to surround him and capture Chu Ning in one go.

At this moment, the Grand Tutor also reacted and hurried forward to persuade: "Your Highness, His Majesty has already shown mercy, you should surrender!"

"If things continue like this, our Chu State will surely be torn apart, giving other dynasties a chance."

Now that no one has been killed on either side, as long as we stop, everything is still in time.

The emperor looked even more condescending, and said in a relaxed manner: "Chu Ning, did you hear that? The Grand Tutor thinks you are doomed to lose."

"To be honest, you are indeed very powerful, but now I can't think of any possibility of you turning the tables!"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, a strange look appeared on his face, he reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and chuckled:

"is it?"

"Is Father so confident?"

"Since your father has no intention of killing me, I will teach you one more time today..."

He stood up slowly, his eyes becoming playful: "What does it mean to turn the tide against the odds?"
