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

After the fierce battle, only debris remained on the ground.

The masked man in black didn't even bother to clean up the scene, and immediately rode his horse to chase after Wu Xiuning.

At the same time, Chu Ning, who was rushing towards the imperial city, suddenly felt uneasy.

"Uh……"

Chu Ning, who was riding a horse at full speed, suddenly changed his expression. He covered his chest with his hands, looking very pleased.

The speed of the warhorse also slowed down at this moment.

Zhao Yu, who was standing behind him, was startled when he saw this. He immediately rode forward and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

When Chu Ning raised his eyes, his face turned pale and cold sweat ran down his face.

Zhao Yu was shocked when he saw Chu Ning like this for the first time. He immediately ordered: "The whole army should stop advancing!"

The white horse cavalry stopped in unison.

Zhao Yu helped Chu Ning dismount from the horse and sat on an open space nearby. A cavalryman immediately handed him a water bag.

Chu Ning took a sip of water, and his expression eased a lot.

But the throbbing in my heart became stronger and stronger, as if something big was about to happen.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Yu asked in confusion.

He was very clear about Chu Ning's strength. A pseudo top-notch master, or even a top-notch master, could not make Chu Ning become like this.

At this moment, Chu Ning felt colder and colder all over, with cold sweat pouring down his back.

The feeling of palpitations made Chu Ning uneasy.

After handing the water bag to the cavalryman beside him, Chu Ning suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a sense of fear in my heart, as if something was about to leave this palace."

After these words were spoken, Zhao Yu's face changed slightly and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Noticing that Zhao Yu looked strange, Chu Ning frowned and asked, "General Zhao seems to have something to say?"

Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally bowed and said seriously, "Your Highness, I have heard of a theory."

“If something happens to someone close to you, you will feel palpitations.”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning's heart was suddenly shocked. It seemed that there was a voice telling him in the dark: Zhao Yu is right!

"Someone close to you had an accident?"

The first person that came to Chu Ning’s mind was Shen Wanying.

Did something happen to Shen Wanying?

It's impossible. Shen Wanying is now in the Chu Palace. Although she is pregnant, the imperial physician said that the child is fine and there is no problem.

If it’s not Shen Wanying, could it be Feng Mulan?

But at this moment Feng Mulan had already gone to Youzhou, and no one in the military camp could threaten Feng Mulan's safety.

leftover……

Then there are only the female emperors of the Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zhao and Wu Xiuning.

But one of them is an empress and the other is a princess, and they are in the Zhou Dynasty palace, so how could they be in danger?

and many more……

Given Wu Xiuning's character, if he knew he was coming, he might go out of the city to greet him.

Is there something wrong with Wu Xiuning?

Thinking of this, Chu Ning's face changed drastically, and he made a prompt decision: "Set off immediately, full speed ahead!"

After saying this, Chu Ning didn't wait for everyone to react, he jumped on his horse and rushed out immediately.

Zhao Yu shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

Then, the white horse cavalry followed.

The warhorse was very fast, but not faster than Chu Ning's anxious heart.

After Wu Xiuning's figure appeared in his mind, he could no longer get rid of it.

With an anxious mood, Chu Ning rode his horse wildly, roaring towards the direction of the Zhou Dynasty capital.

Half an hour later, they arrived outside the woods.

As I got closer, a smell of blood filled the air.

Chu Ning was startled and rushed into the woods on his horse.

Zhao Yu, who was behind him, also smelled the blood. Concerned about Chu Ning's comfort, he couldn't help but shout, "Your Highness, be careful of an ambush!"

But at this moment Chu Ning simply couldn't listen and rode his horse straight into the forest.

The pungent smell of blood made people feel sick, and the sight of corpses all over the ground made Chu Ning feel cold in his heart.

When I saw the luxurious purple carriage again, an ominous premonition came over me.

Ignoring the still galloping warhorse, he suddenly leaped up and came directly to the corpse.

When they found that the corpse was wearing black armor, obviously the attire of the Great Zhou Imperial Guards, their hearts immediately sank.

At this moment, his footsteps suddenly became extremely heavy, as if they were filled with lead, making it difficult for Chu Ning to even walk.

At this time, Zhao Yu arrived with his men.

When he found that the ground was full of the Great Zhou Imperial Guards, his face changed drastically and he immediately went forward to check.

"Come here, check if there is anyone alive." Zhao Yu made a prompt decision and ordered someone to check.

A group of white horse cavalrymen dismounted to examine the bodies, while another group searched the woods.

Soon, the White Horse Cavalry came forward to report that no one was alive.

The soldiers who were exploring the surrounding area also came back to report that they had found traces of someone hiding in the woods.

Zhao Yu summarized all the things, then came to the dazed Chu Ning and said in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, these are the bodies of the Great Zhou Imperial Guards. Half of them were shot to death by sharp arrows, and the rest were surrounded and killed. They all have at least three or four wounds on their bodies."

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

"Have you seen Xiuning?"

Zhao Yu shook his head, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "I didn't find Princess Xiuning, but judging from the traces at the scene, there should be a war horse rushing over there, and there are many messy horse hoof prints behind it, maybe someone chased after it."

Chu Ning, who had already prepared for the worst, suddenly had his eyes light up when he heard this: "Xiuning will be fine, she will be fine!

She is waiting for me to save her, she must be waiting for me to save him!"

After saying that, Chu Ning jumped on his horse and roared, "Send someone to tell the empress that something happened to Princess Xiuning and that all her guards were killed here!"

"Everyone else, follow me immediately to rescue Princess Xiuning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ning's figure appeared in the distance.

He couldn't wait a moment longer.

Although Wu Xiuning was smart, she was only three years old after all. If such a young girl was hunted by an assassin, she would definitely be in great danger.

If he doesn't go to rescue them as soon as possible, if something unexpected happens, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

At this moment, Chu Ning only hated that he didn't have wings to fly with him to Wu Xiuning.

The sound of horse hooves was like a heartbeat, shaking continuously.

From afar, the dust was flying, whistling in the north wind and disappearing in a flash.

The entire official road was like a whirlwind, scaring the people along the way into giving way.

Following the horseshoe prints on the official road, Chu Ning led the white horse cavalry in rapid pursuit.

At this moment, Empress Wu Zhao also had the same experience as Chu Ning.

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lizheng Hall.

Wu Zhao, who was reviewing memorials, suddenly covered her chest with her hands, her face showing pain. She even lost control of the memorial and brush in her hands and dropped them on the desk.

The dripping ink stained all the blank spaces on the memorial black.

Shangguan Qing'er, who was standing by, saw this and her face changed drastically. She stepped forward to support Wu Zhao and asked with concern:

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

Wu Zhao's hands were shaking, her lips were quivering slightly, and she said weakly: "I don't know what happened, I suddenly had a palpitation."

Shangguan Qing'er frowned: "Perhaps your Majesty is too busy and overworked. I will help you to the bed to rest first, and then I will call the imperial physician."

Wu Zhao nodded slightly in agreement. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a maid came in hurriedly and reported:

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened to the princess!"
