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

At 3:30 in the morning in winter, the sky is dark and gloomy.

Although it was almost noon, one still needed torches to see people clearly on the streets of the city.

"Faster, faster!"

Suddenly, on the dim street, a group of yamen runners escorted a girl in her thirties and quickly went to the county government office.

The yamen runners were very excited to learn that the girl in front of them might be a princess.

If this comes true, they will have done a great job.

But at this moment, more than twenty assassins in black suddenly appeared on the street in the distance.

As soon as this group of people appeared, they rushed over without saying a word, waving their sharp blades.

In the dim vision, a cold light flashed, which was frightening.

The guards' faces changed drastically: "Oh no, there's an assassin!"

"Hurry up and protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"No, they're catching up."

Although the bailiffs retreated quickly, the assassins behind them chased them frantically.

In just a moment, they caught up with the bailiffs and surrounded them.

The leader of the black-clad men sneered, "Kill them all!"

Then, the assassin in black swung his blade and killed him.

The bailiffs' faces turned pale, knowing that they were no match for their opponent, but surrendering at this moment would also mean death.

In desperation, the yamen runners could only stand back to back to protect the child in the middle.

But just as the black-clad assassin was about to reach him, a whistling sound was heard from the surrounding rooftops and alleys.

Everyone was surprised and turned to look, only to see a group of cavalry rushing out of the alley and soldiers in white armor jumping down from the roof.

In just a blink of an eye, the group of black-clad assassins were surrounded.

"Lord Wu, it's bad, we are surrounded!" an assassin said in a trembling voice.

The leader Wu Yue snorted coldly: "So what? With our strength, we may be able to fight our way out!"

"is it?"

Suddenly, a cold snort was heard: "You are about to die and you still don't know it. Do you really think that you can escape from the hands of the White Horse Cavalry?"

As the words fell, Zhao Yu, wearing silver armor, tall and with a resolute face, appeared in front of everyone.

"Zhao! Yu!"

Wu Yue's face suddenly turned ugly: "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with Chu Ning?"

He has sent people to keep an eye on Chu Ning and even Zhao Yu's whereabouts.

But now, Zhao Yu appeared here and he was not reported!

What exactly went wrong?

"Humph, you think you can keep an eye on me with just your men?"

Zhao Yu sneered: "I only used a little trick to get rid of your spy!"

"Now, you have two choices. First, put down your weapons and follow me to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Second, you can try my strength!"

In the face of absolute strength, Zhao Yu has absolute confidence.

Wu Yue's face turned gloomy, and his face turned pale and blue. For a moment, he was unable to make up his mind.

It is impossible to surrender. Once surrendered, Chu Ning will definitely interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes.

But if a fight breaks out, he doesn't have many people around him and cannot be a match for the White Horse Cavalry.

Maybe... there is one last way!

Thinking of this, Wu Yue narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Everyone says that you, Zhao Yu, are Chu Ning's right-hand man and powerful, but I don't believe it!"

"Do you dare to bet with me?"

"bet?"

Zhao Yu looked the man up and down and sneered, "What bargaining chips do you have now to negotiate with me?"

"Of course!"

Wu Yue sneered: "Don't you want to know who is behind me? Don't you want to know the clues of Wu Xiuning's whereabouts?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yu's pupils shrank and a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes.

If it was any other request, he would naturally not agree.

But since the clues involved Wu Xiuning, he had to agree!

However, before that, he had to make sure of it.

"If you really have clues about Princess Xiuning, why would you fall for it now?"

Zhao Yu did not lose his mind because of the other party's bet, but instead mentioned the current situation.

If the black-clad assassin in front of him had any clues about Wu Xiuning, he would not have fallen into the trap set by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

But the fact is, the black assassin is coming!

This means that the other party did not actually find Wu Xiuning!

While thinking, Wu Yue snorted coldly: "I just said that there are clues, I didn't say that Wu Xiuning was found, don't confuse me!"

"If you don't dare to fight, just ask your people to get out of the way!"

This one sentence completely ignited Zhao Yu's desire to fight.

He spun the spear in his hand, pointing the tip directly at Wu Yue. He moved his lips slightly and said in a cold voice:

"Come, let me see your arrogance, and prove your arrogance with your strength!"

Wu Yue snorted coldly, spun the sword in his hand, and rushed out like a whirlwind.

But Zhao Yu remained calm, his heart remained unchanged, his body remained motionless, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

"too slow!"

As the last word fell, the spear turned into a white light and stabbed out with a whistling sound.

He chose to take this attack head-on!

"Qiang!"

The two sides clashed with their weapons, and the one who was weaker was knocked back several steps!

Wu Yue looked at Zhao Yu rushing towards him in disbelief, the shock in his heart was incomparable.

Of course, he had heard of Zhao Yu's strength a long time ago, but after actually fighting with him, he found that he still underestimated Zhao Yu's strength.

He was already a pseudo top-notch master, but in front of Zhao Yu, he couldn't even take a single move.

With his mind shaken, he could only dodge sideways when seeing the spear coming at him, and slashed with his sword in his backhand.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu seemed to have anticipated this. He retracted his spear, held the sword with the spear shaft, and pressed it down suddenly.

Suddenly, a powerful force made Wu Yue's right hand numb. He couldn't even hold the weapon, and it fell to the ground.

Wu Yue, who was shocked, made a quick decision, jumped up and kicked Zhao Yu repeatedly.

But Zhao Yu had a sarcastic look on his face. He put the spear in his right hand on his left hand, then turned his right hand into a fist and punched out fiercely.

"Bang~"

The huge force of their fists and feet hitting each other actually sent Wu Yue flying backwards.

Without waiting for his body to hit the ground, Zhao Yu rushed out as a shadow, sweeping his spear across and hitting Wu Yue.

"Uh...Pfft~"

As his body fell to the ground, Wu Yue groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Just as he was about to stand up, Zhao Yu put the spear in his hand on his throat and said coldly: "You lose!"

Wu Yue was furious. Just as he was about to speak, his blood began to boil with excitement and he vomited blood again.

At this moment, the other black assassins wanted to step forward to rescue, but the white horse cavalry blocked them all.

Zhao Yu stared at Wu Yue coldly: "Now, you can tell me the clues you mentioned!"

Wu Yue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly laughed wildly: "You should know the big river outside the city, right?"

Zhao Yu nodded and said nothing.

Wu Yue laughed wildly and said, "Our people saw Wu Xiuning jump into the river with their own eyes. Even if she didn't die, she definitely wouldn't have survived!"

After saying this, Zhao Yu looked a little strange.
