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

The smoke from the city defense camp rose into the sky, attracting all forces in Kyoto City.

Prince Chu's Mansion.

Shen Wanying looked at the smoke in the distant sky with a worried look on her face, and a trace of sadness appeared on her delicate face.

The maid Xiaoqing comforted her, "Miss, don't worry. His Highness is so powerful, nothing will happen to him. Besides, General Ran Ming is over there.

Besides, the Liangzhou troops are in the city. I believe they will come to support us when they see the smoke signals. "

Having said that, Shen Wanying still looked worried.

"It would be fine if the reinforcements could get through, but I'm afraid they can't."

Shen Wanying said nervously, "Many forces in the city are hoping that Your Highness and the Sizhou troops will kill each other. These people will not allow reinforcements to come."

Xiao Qing's face changed: "This... How is this possible? This is Kyoto City. Doesn't His Majesty care?"

"His Majesty?"

Shen Wanying sighed and said in a deep voice: "It was because His Majesty asked the Sizhou soldiers to take over the city defense camp that this incident happened. Do you think His Majesty will take care of it?"

Xiaoqing was completely speechless.

She didn't understand why the emperor treated His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu like this since they were both the emperor's sons.

Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is an illegitimate child, he has accomplished many earth-shaking things in two years. Why did the emperor just watch him die?

Looking at her master with a worried look on his face, Xiao Qing comforted him softly, "Don't worry too much, Miss. Master Liu Shouren will definitely find a way."

Speaking of Liu Shouren, Shen Wanying's eyes lit up.

There are not many people Chu Ning can use around him now. Liu Shouren is his confidant, and I believe he will bring troops from Liangzhou to support him at this moment.

"Now we can only see whether Lord Liu can withstand the pressure!"

Although no news had been sent back from outside, Shen Wanying was very clear that the other princes would definitely stop the troops from Liangzhou from going to support.

The prince took action personally, and the soldiers from Liang Province naturally did not dare to act rashly due to their status.

But if Liu Shouren went over and withstood the pressure, perhaps he could allow the troops from Liang Province to pass through.

Everything depends on whether Liu Shouren can convince the other party!

Just as Shen Wanying was worried, on the streets east of the city, a group of soldiers from Liangzhou were rushing towards the city defense camp.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The leading captain kept commanding everyone to speed up.

But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the street not far away, and a group of soldiers blocked their way.

The man in the lead, wearing purple royal robes, a purple gold crown on his head, and a white jade hanging from his waist, who else could it be but the Fourth Prince!

The captain didn't recognize the other person, but when he saw the man's attire, he immediately bowed and saluted: "I don't know which prince has arrived. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar."

The Fourth Prince looked indifferent. He glanced at the man and said nothing.

Liu Yunqing beside him introduced: "This is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

"It turns out to be the Fourth Prince."

The captain said anxiously, "There is a signal from the city defense camp. I will lead some people to support them. Your Highness, please let us go."

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes, and a cold look flashed across his face: "How dare you! Who are you to ask me to give way?"

The captain was startled, knowing that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble, and quickly apologized: "I am worried about the safety of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, if I have offended you, please forgive me.

Now that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is in danger, I must go to his aid immediately. I will go to his house to apologize another day."

After he finished speaking, the centurion shouted to the people behind him: "Everyone, take a detour!"

It is obviously unwise to tangle with the Fourth Prince at this moment. Judging from the other party's posture, he clearly does not want to give way. In this case, it is better to change the route.

Although it will waste time, it's fine as long as I can get through it.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince sneered and said, "Did the King let you go?"

The captain's expression changed: "Fourth Prince..."

"Your Majesty!"

The fourth prince glared with murderous intent, "How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me? How can I let you go so easily?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers of Liangzhou were immediately filled with righteous indignation. They tightly grasped their weapons, ready to fight if they disagreed with them.

The centurion was shocked and realized that the other party was deliberately looking for an opportunity to attack.

If they fight the Fourth Prince at this moment, they will be making enemies for the King of Chu!

The centurion gritted his teeth, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then suddenly knelt down!

"It was my fault for being reckless and not knowing the rules. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

This tough man actually knelt down and begged for mercy in public.

Just to rush to the city defense camp and rescue Chu Ning.

But the more he did this, the angrier the Fourth Prince became.

Why does Chu Ning have such people working for him?

If Chu Ning is not eliminated, it will be a huge problem!

Looking at the kneeling centurion, the fourth prince narrowed his eyes and flashed a hint of amusement: "Since you are new to Kyoto and don't know the rules, I will give you a chance to reform!"

He got off the horse and pointed at the warhorse and said calmly: "It rained heavily a few days ago, and my warhorse got soaked. There is still a lot of mud on it. Wash it for me, and I will not only forgive you, but also let you pass!"

Such humiliating behavior made the Liangzhou soldiers so angry that they wanted to rush forward and fight to the death.

But the captain narrowed his eyes, and a firm look flashed across his face: "Fourth Prince, will you keep your word?"

"Would I lie to you in front of everyone?"

"Okay, I agree. Someone, get some water!"

Knowing that the Fourth Prince was deliberately making things difficult for him, the captain did not choose to take action, but would rather endure the humiliation.

He knew that he could not conflict with other forces at this moment and had to rush to the city defense as soon as possible to rescue the King of Chu.

Even if he was humiliated by it, he was willing to do it.

Soon, the soldiers brought water, and the centurion began to clean the Fourth Prince's warhorse in front of everyone.

At the same time, the third prince and the fifth prince used various reasons to block the Liangzhou troops who were rushing to support from the west and south of the city.

Although the captains commanding the two armies kept requesting, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince were still worried.

The two centurions did not dare to give orders to attack the other princes on their own and could only keep begging the two princes.

But, would the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince let them go at this time?

No matter how much they say nice things, it will be of no use.

As for the reinforcements from the north of the city, they were now blocked by the prince himself.

"Oh, isn't this the Minister of Finance Liu Shouren? Why are you in such a hurry? What's the important matter?"

The prince rode his horse and led his men to block the street, staring at Liu Shouren in front of him and the Liangzhou soldiers behind him with an amusement look on his face.

Liu Shouren's face changed slightly. "What do you mean, Your Highness? The city defense camp sent out a signal smoke signal, so why not bring people to rescue?"

"So we're going to the city defense camp~"

The prince chuckled and said, "You don't have to go. Father has ordered Zhou Lecheng to take over the city defense camp. There are 10,000 Sizhou soldiers over there, so it's absolutely safe!"

After a pause, the prince glanced at the Liangzhou troops and said calmly, "The Liangzhou troops have just arrived in Jingdu City. They are not familiar with many rules and cannot move around the city at will. Sir Liu should take them to guard the city gate."

In a word, Liu Shouren's way was completely blocked.

Liu Shouren's face darkened when he heard this, and he asked in a deep voice, "Your Highness, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

The prince shrugged his shoulders, looking relaxed: "What crime have I committed by assisting the Sizhou troops in taking over the city defense camp?"

Today, he wanted to stop the Liangzhou troops and let Chu Ning die at the hands of Zhou Lecheng!
