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

Deng Hongwen's words made the four Xiahou brothers very embarrassed.

Now they have sent people to surround this place. If they do nothing and retreat just because of Deng Hongwen's words, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

But if they allowed Deng Hongwen to come with people from the Ministry of Justice and the Patrol Battalion, they were worried that they would be arrested.

Although they are numerous, if they really want to go against the Ministry of Justice and the City Defense Battalion in Kyoto City, it would be no different from seeking death.

These two yamen were responsible for all the daily affairs in the city. If you offended them, the other party would find a hundred ways to cause trouble for you every day.

Now they can neither advance nor retreat, and are stuck in the middle, feeling very uncomfortable.

But Deng Hongwen was a practical man. When he saw that the four Xiahou brothers did not answer, he snorted coldly, asked his servants to bring his warhorse, and went to the Ministry of Justice.

Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Shen Wanying: "Princess Chu, don't worry. If they rush out of the palace, it will be a heinous crime that will lead to the extermination of the entire clan!"

He was reminding Shen Wanying that there was nothing to say to such a scoundrel, and that she only needed to stay in the mansion and wait for him to go to the Ministry of Justice and the City Defense Battalion for reinforcements.

Shen Wanying nodded slightly after reacting: "Master Deng is right. Attacking the palace is a crime of genocide!"

She swept her eyes over the four people and said coldly, "You are all sons of the general, you should understand the consequences of attacking the palace!

If you know what's good for you, leave now and I will pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, once the Ministry of Justice and the City Defense Battalion come, you will be the only ones who will suffer!"

As the Princess of Chu, Shen Wanying displayed the aura of a princess in an attempt to intimidate the four Xiahou sons.

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Xiahou Yun was furious when he heard this: "Chu Ning killed my father. We are here just to seek justice from him!"

The other three reacted immediately and shouted, "Yes, we are here to seek justice. Princess Chu, please don't impose these charges on us!"

"Humph, I didn't expect that the Princess of Chu is just like the King of Chu, both of them like to accuse people of crimes!"

"Everyone, please watch. We did not break into the palace by force!"

When the Xiahou family saw their young master was so imposing, they immediately started to shout, "Justice, justice!"

For a while, there were constant shouts at the scene, and the people watching the excitement around were pointing and talking.

"If the King of Chu really killed the general, he should give an explanation to the Xiahou family."

"Why did the King of Chu want to kill the general?"

"Of course, it's for the military power on the front line."

"But this time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu returned victorious. Isn't this the best outcome?"

"The King of Chu won, but we also lost a great general. How is this different from losing?"

Some people defended Chu Ning, but there were also those who questioned Chu Ning. Without knowing the truth, they all made their own judgments based on their own subjective opinions.

The general has served in the court for many years and has made great military achievements, and he enjoys great prestige among the people.

Although Chu Ning's reputation has risen in the past two years, he is still slightly inferior to the general.

Most of the people around here support the general!

This scene also made the four Xiahou princes very excited.

It turns out that the prestige of their Xiahou family is so high!

Chu Ning has hit a wall this time!

This time, they must take the opportunity to move to Chuning and avenge their father.

The four of them looked at each other as they thought about it and became more and more excited. Then the eldest son Xiahou Yun ordered: "We will not leave until the Chu Palace gives us an explanation!"

"That's right, we have to wait here for an explanation from the Chu Palace!"

"Even if people from the Ministry of Justice and the City Defense Battalion come, we are not afraid!"

"Everyone listen up, surround the Prince Chu's Mansion and don't allow anyone to enter or leave!"

When the four saw that someone supported the Xiahou family, their attitude became even more arrogant, and they even didn't want to let people from the Prince of Chu's Palace enter or leave.

Shen Wanying's face changed drastically when she heard this. A hint of anger flashed across her beautiful eyes. She scolded loudly: "You are provoking the royal family by doing this!"

"Don't accuse us of anything at all!"

The Fifth Young Master Xia Houhui sneered: "The purpose of our trip is only to target the Chu Palace, not the royal family!"

They wanted to take advantage of Chu Ning's absence to severely humiliate the Chu Palace and Shen Wanying.

There are not many soldiers and horses in the Prince of Chu's Palace now, so they can do whatever they want!

As for the people from the Ministry of Justice and the City Defense Camp, they haven't arrived yet. When they arrive, they will say the same thing. What can they do to them?

Shen Wanying looked at the four arrogant people, and a trace of anger appeared on her delicate face.

The maid Xiaoqing was even more furious and shouted, "You are being unreasonable. When the King of Chu comes back, I will not forgive you!"

"return?"

The eldest son Xiahou Yun sneered, his face full of murderous intent, and said: "That depends on whether he can come back!"

Chu Ning dragged his father's body back to Beijing, and Xiahou Yan would never allow Chu Ning to do so!

Once Chu Ning enters the territory of Sizhou, he will definitely be stopped by the soldiers of the Sizhou camp. Whether Chu Ning can come back depends on whether his second brother Xiahou Yan lets him go!

Shen Wanying heard the murderous intent in Xiahou Yun's words, and her pretty face turned pale in an instant.

Although Chu Ning had a lot of soldiers and horses, there were not many soldiers and horses following him.

If Xiahou Yan really intercepted Chu Ning in Sizhou, considering the current number of soldiers and horses around Chu Ning, he would not be able to stop the enemy at all.

Thinking of this, Shen Wanying asked anxiously: "Xiahou Yun, what do you mean by this?"

Xiahou Yun seemed to enjoy seeing Shen Wanying's anxious look, and a playful look appeared on his face: "What do you mean, Princess Chu, don't you know?"

"How come you are the most talented woman in Great Chu and you don't even understand what I am saying?"

"If you really want to know, why not invite me into your mansion and have a good talk in the east room in your backyard!"

The east room is usually the master bedroom.

The frivolous and provocative meaning of this statement is self-evident!

He actually wanted to enter Shen Wanying's room!

Flirting with the Princess of Chu in front of everyone was the greatest humiliation to Chu Ning and the Chu Palace.

The maid Xiaoqing was furious when she heard this: "How dare you, you thief, humiliate the Princess of Chu!"

"Humiliate the Princess of Chu? When did I humiliate her?"

Xiahou Yun pretended to be ignorant and spread his hands, saying, "It was obviously because the Princess of Chu didn't understand what I said, that's why I said let's go to the mansion and talk it over, how come you said it was flirting with the Princess of Chu?

You people in the Chu Palace can’t do anything, but you’re good at framing people!”

Xiaoqing was very angry at this and was about to retort, but Shen Wanying calmed down and stopped her with her hand:

"Don't be fooled, he is deliberately provoking you. We just need to wait for Lord Deng to bring people from the Ministry of Justice and the City Defense Battalion over!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

When they heard the sound, they turned around and saw that it was Deng Hongwen riding back on his horse.

But there was no one behind him!

Xiaoqing's face suddenly turned ugly when she saw this, and a hint of surprise flashed in Shen Wanying's eyes.

Deng Hongwen rode his horse to the front of the palace with a gloomy face, dismounted and saluted: "Princess, the people from the Ministry of Justice have gone to investigate the case!"

"The people I sent to the city defense camp also reported back that the crown prince suddenly inspected the city defense camp today. Now the city defense camp is unable to send anyone to deal with this matter."

Shen Wanying's face changed drastically.

She knew that the prince did it on purpose. He wanted to allow the Xiahou family to attack the Chu Palace!

At this time, Xiahou Yun and the other four were overjoyed!

Since people from the Ministry of Justice and the City Defense Battalion could not come over, they had no worries!
