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

Two sentences about illegitimate child set off the whole audience!

No one expected that Ying Dan would dare to expose someone's shortcomings at this moment!

It would be fine to expose Wu Xiuning's shortcomings, after all, with the strength of the Zhou Dynasty, it was impossible to compete with the Qin State.

But exposing Chu Ning's shortcomings would undoubtedly aggravate the conflict between Qin and Chu.

What's more, with Chu Ning's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to let Ying Dan go easily.

Just as everyone at the scene was shocked, Wu Zhao's face also changed drastically.

She knew Chu Ning too well.

If someone said that he was an illegitimate child in such an occasion, Chu Ning would definitely go on a killing spree.

But now is the auspicious day for Wu Xiuning's enthronement. If blood is seen, it will be unlucky.

Turning to look at Chu Ning, she wanted to persuade Chu Ning not to act on impulse at this moment.

But before Wu Zhao could speak, Chu Ning said calmly: "It is true that I am an illegitimate child, but my father has already included my name in the family tree.

The Zongzheng Temple also recognized this, and since I have acknowledged my ancestry, I am no longer considered an illegitimate child.

You are just a Dingbian Marquis, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly here? I am afraid you have other motives, right?"

Although the tone was calm, everyone could hear the murderous intent in the words.

To say that Ying Dan has other purposes is just to take advantage of the opportunity to capture him.

But Ying Dan was not nervous at all, instead he chuckled: "Chun Ning, this is the Great Zhou Palace, not your Chu Palace.

The Queen of Great Zhou hasn't said anything yet, and you are so eager to stand out, are you trying to steal the show?"

He never said anything nice, turned a blind eye to his own problems, and instead kept looking for trouble with Chu Ning.

This is a typical language trap.

If Chu Ning continues to prove himself, he will fall into Ying Dan's trap.

Fortunately, at this time, Wu Zhao raised her eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "Marquis Dingbian, today is Xiuning's big day, I don't want any more trouble, so let's end this matter here."

After saying that, she stood up and wanted to take everyone to the back garden for the banquet.

But Ying Dan laughed wildly: "The Queen of Great Zhou is in such a hurry to leave, is she guilty?

Could it be that, as the rumors say, Wu Xiuning is the child of you and the Crown Prince of Chu?

Come to think of it, it's really enviable that this child has both of your names in his name."

The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who originally did not quite believe this matter, immediately reacted after hearing this.

Wu Xiuning, Wu is the Wu of Wu Zhao, Ning is the Ning of Chu Ning!

Isn't it just a combination of their names?

For a moment, all the ministers were surprised.

"This... this is really the case. Could it be that the rumors are true?"

"This is impossible. Who is His Majesty? How could he possibly like Chu Ning?"

"The timing doesn't match. Princess Xiuning is already three years old. Three years ago, Chu Ning didn't have the power he has now."

"It's hard to say. Perhaps Your Majesty has already set his eyes on the Crown Prince of Chu?"

"That's not right. Your Majesty has always been in my court. How could he possibly have a child with the Crown Prince of Chu?"

For a moment, all the ministers were talking about it and were shocked.

Wu Zhao's delicate and cold face was now as gloomy as water.

She never expected that Ying Dan would dare to say such words at this time.

Isn't this person afraid of being punished by her?

Thinking of this, Wu Zhao's eyes turned cold, and she said in a cold voice: "How dare you mess up my son's canonization day? Come on, beat this man out with sticks!"

At the command, more than a dozen imperial guards stepped forward and attacked Ying Dan with sticks in their hands.

However, Ying Dan was not afraid at all. His aura suddenly exploded and a powerful aura enveloped the entire place.

Then, he clenched his hands into fists and took the initiative to block all the sticks.

With a cracking sound, all the sticks that were thrown down were broken after hitting Ying Dan's fists.

The surprised scene made all the imperial guards' faces change slightly. They looked at each other and dared not to take action again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ying Dan grinned, flashed his body, and rushed out.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen imperial guards were knocked out by Ying Dan's bare hands.

"How brave! I will meet you in the future!"

The great general of the Zhou Dynasty, Xue Huaide, roared angrily, his whole body filled with imposing aura, and he suddenly leaped forward and rushed straight towards the battle group.

The powerful momentum broke up the battle situation, and more than a dozen imperial guards got a chance to catch their breath and retreated one after another.

Seeing this, Ying Dan showed no fear at all, and laughed wildly, "I have heard that General Xue is a master of martial arts. Today, I want to see if the rumors are true!"

As he spoke, his fists rushed forward like a black tiger ripping out the heart, heading straight for Xue Huaide's heart and throat.

Unexpectedly, Xue Huaide did not dodge or evade, but instead swung out with both fists, using the same moves, choosing to confront him head-on!

"Bang~bang~"

As two collision sounds were heard, the two people who were fighting fiercely were actually knocked away and retreated several steps, and they were evenly matched.

But in front of the ministers and the emperor, Xue Huaide did not want to lose face for the Great Zhou Dynasty, so his face immediately darkened and his aura surged again.

The veins on his arms bulged out, spreading all the way to his neck, with blood vessels protruding, making him look extremely hideous.

Then his figure rushed out like a sharp arrow!

But Yingdan was not afraid at all. He grinned with a look of disdain.

He turned his body and did not choose to take the attack head-on. Instead, he dodged it and hit it with his elbow.

"Humph!"

Xue Huaide snorted coldly, held Ying Dan's arm with his right hand, and punched hard from the side with his left hand.

The two of them exchanged moves, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than ten moves.

Every move is deadly, and both are intended to kill the opponent!

When the fight became fierce, the people watching the fight couldn't even see the two men clearly.

On the high platform, Wu Zhao looked very ugly.

She wanted to end it all as soon as possible, but she was worried about mobilizing too many imperial guards and being criticized.

After all, Ying Dan is just one person. If the Great Zhou mobilized many imperial guards to capture him, it would definitely be laughed at.

But if Xue Huaide is allowed to fight alone, looking at the current battle situation between the two sides, Xue Huaide may not be able to defeat him in a short period of time.

If the stalemate continues, it will only become increasingly disadvantageous to the Great Zhou.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhao couldn't help but turn her head to look at Chu Ning, with a bit of expectation in her eyes.

Just because she has no solution doesn’t mean Chu Ning has no solution.

Chu Ning noticed the empress's gaze, turned around and said calmly: "This person will not survive today!"

"However, he knew that today was a big day, yet he still dared to cause trouble here. His purpose was not just to expose Xiuning's life experience."

When these words came out, Wu Zhao's face changed slightly: "What is his purpose?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, revealing a solemn expression: "Most likely he realized that the assassins had confessed, and he himself knew that he could not escape from Da Zhou, so he deliberately asked for death!"

"Want to die?"

Wu Zhao was shocked: "He is the Marquis of Dingbian, a high-ranking official with great power, why would he deliberately seek death?"

Chu Ning snorted coldly: "Of course, it is to give Daqin a reason to send troops to Dazhou. If my guess is correct, the next target of the Daqin Dynasty is Dazhou!

Our army was stationed in Hecheng and Yucheng, and the Qin army was unable to break through.

Maple Leaf City is also under my control, and the Qin army there retreated back to Wind City after being defeated by me several times.

Since it is impossible to advance in those two directions, the only way is to break through from Da Zhou!

Once Ying Dan dies here, Qin will have a reason to send troops."

To fight a war, you need a legitimate reason!
