The smoke signals from the Prince of Chu's Palace alarmed the entire capital city.

No one expected that the usually powerful Chu Palace would one day need to ask for help.

But there was no movement in the palace.

This also made the princes who were watching on the sidelines just watch.

Even the emperor did not take any action, so the princes certainly would not do anything unnecessary at this moment.

At this moment, the battle in the Chu Palace entered a white-hot stage.

There were too many masked men. Although the palace guards were powerful, they could not withstand the large numbers.

In addition, the masked man also had a crossbow, which made the guards of the palace dare not confront him head-on. They could only order the people on the wall to retreat and focus on defense.

Outside the palace, the masked man noticed the reaction of the palace guards and made a quick decision: "Attack by force!"

At the command, the masked man rammed the palace gate with all his might.

As long as the gate is forced, they can march straight in and kill their way in!

"Boom~boom~boom~"

The masked men didn't know where the huge tree came from. The eight of them held the huge tree and kept hitting the door of the mansion.

"Stop them, we must stop them, we absolutely cannot let them in!"

The guards in the palace shouted loudly. They knew very well that this was the capital for their lives and they must not let the other side break through the city gate.

But as the impact continued, the door of the mansion was constantly shaking. If it continued for a long time, it would definitely be broken.

This scene made the masked men outside the mansion very excited. They knew that as long as they broke through this door, they could kill everyone!

Unfortunately, they did not wait until the gate of the palace was broken, but waited for reinforcements to arrive.

"Surround them, capture those alive if you can, and kill those you can't catch on the spot!"

With a roar, Deng Hongwen led a group of people to kill.

They were holding crossbows and after appearing, they pulled the triggers frantically, not giving the masked men any chance to react.

Although the masked men were well-trained and had excellent martial arts skills, they were caught off guard and a large number of them were shot and killed.

"Damn it, why would Deng Hongwen show up at this moment!"

The masked man in the lead actually knew Deng Hongwen. Seeing this, he immediately ordered: "The rear team will block them, and the front team will continue to attack!"

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. It is too late to retreat now. We might as well give it a try. Maybe we can still make it in.

Even if they are going to die here today, they must destroy the Prince of Chu's Palace before they die!

The masked man's order suddenly split into two parts.

But because of this, the force attacking the palace was weakened a lot, which also prevented them from breaking down the door in a short period of time.

When the palace guards noticed that reinforcements were coming, they also began to fight back, shooting arrows at the palace gate with crossbows to prevent the masked men from ramming the gate.

As for Deng Hongwen, at this moment he was commanding his troops to advance continuously, relying on the power of the crossbows to kill the masked men one after another.

Although the masked man also fought back with a crossbow, Deng Hongwen was well prepared. He had rows of shield bearers in front of him, so the sharp arrows could not penetrate at all.

In just two quarters of an hour, dozens of masked men were killed and the battle line was compressed to the gate of the palace.

All the masked men who had surrounded the Prince of Chu's Palace were driven here. Although their faces were covered, fear was already visible in their eyes.

Deng Hongwen snorted coldly when he saw this: "How dare they attack the Chu Palace? Take them down!"

"Humph, I will make you pay the price today, even if it means death!"

The masked leader shouted angrily: "Fight them!"

A fight began.

But it was obvious that the masked men in black had lost all their morale at this moment and only wanted to die together.

However, they were facing people trained by Deng Hongwen, and they were not well prepared in advance, and were attacked from all sides, so they soon could not hold on.

Deng Hongwen was not in a hurry to wipe out this group of people. Instead, after surrounding them, he said in a deep voice:

"Those who surrender, His Highness the King of Chu will leave you with a whole body. Otherwise, you will be killed without a trace!"

"Hmph, do you think we will surrender?"

The masked leader sneered: "It's nothing but death. Do you really think we are afraid of death?"

After saying this, this man actually led the charge.

"How stubborn!"

Deng Hongwen was too lazy to talk nonsense. He waved his right hand and said coldly: "Kill them!"

Although Chu Ning asked for a live person, looking at the current situation, they simply could not capture one alive.

If this matter is dragged on, it will be disadvantageous to the Chu Palace. The matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and the only option is to kill these people!

At a command, the crossbows were fired, sharp arrows whistled, and the dense rain of arrows made the masked man scream.

In a quarter of an hour, the masked men were completely wiped out, and all of them were shot to death by sharp arrows.

Deng Hongwen stepped forward and lifted the veil of the leader, revealing a thin but resolute face.

However, Deng Hongwen did not know this person.

"Keep their bodies safe. They will be of great use when the King of Chu returns!"

Deng Hongwen gave some instructions and then walked towards the palace.

"The people outside have been captured. I will take people to wait outside the palace. Please tell Princess Chu not to worry."

A voice came from the mansion immediately: "It's Lord Deng. Don't worry, I will go and inform the princess right away."

A crisis has come to an end.

At the same time, the chase outside the city finally came to an end.

As they approached the city gate, Chu Ning had run out of arrows and Su Wenguang caught up with him.

"Hahahaha, have you run out of arrows? Relying on external force won't work after all!"

Su Wenguang laughed wildly and said, "Tomorrow is the anniversary of your death!"

After saying this, the man swung his sword and was about to kill.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning suddenly pointed at the smoke that was gradually dissipating in the city and said with a smile: "It seems that the crisis in the Chu Palace has been resolved."

Su Wenguang's face changed and he quickly looked up at the city, and found that the smoke was gradually dissipating.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

Su Wenguang suddenly laughed: "I understand. It must be our people who attacked the palace and slaughtered everyone there, which put out the smoke of war."

"is it?"

Chu Ning shook his head: "Don't you understand now? It was a trap from the beginning, and I just wanted to lure them out.

In this case, do you think the king will give you a chance? To tell you the truth, the king has already asked Deng Hongwen to gather people. If the palace is in danger, he will rush there as soon as possible. "

Su Wenguang was shocked by these words: "So, all our plans are in your calculations?"

Chu Ning raised his lips slightly: "Of course, from the moment you found the clues and pointed the finger at Fourth Brother, I knew you wanted us to kill each other.

So, I will use your own trick against you to see how far you can go and lure them out at the same time.

However, I didn’t expect that besides you, the big fish, there would be another big fish.

I asked my father to close the city gates and not allow anyone to enter or leave before, but today you were able to let your people disguise themselves and leave the city. This in itself is a loophole!

The only explanation is that you, the commander of the city defense battalion, and the general guarding the city gate are colluding with each other, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Wenguang's face straightened, he looked Chu Ning up and down carefully, and said with a smile:

"I thought I overestimated you, but now it seems that I underestimated you.

Yes, General Wei guarding the city gate is also my man. As long as you reach the city gate, he will shoot you to death the first time!

Now that you have no one around you, what, are you still going to struggle to the death?"

At this moment, Su Wangwen finally revealed his trump card!
