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

He Peng's death completely angered the prince.

Even though there was no one around him, he roared and swung his sword to kill Chu Ning.

Because he knew that with the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister around, Chu Ning would not dare to kill him.

As long as Chu Ning dares to kill him, he will never be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future.

He believed that Chu Ning was ambitious!

As long as he has ambition, he would never dare to kill the prince in front of the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister.

The crime of fratricide is fatal to any prince.

What's more, there are many princes who are eyeing them covetously. Any slight mistake will make them miss the throne.

As the prince roared, he was filled with anger and wanted to vent it on Chu Ning.

Looking at the prince with an angry face, Chu Ning stood where he was, with a calm expression, and had no intention of dodging at all.

Ran Ming snorted coldly, and flashed in front of Chu Ning. He spun the spear in his hand and knocked the sword in the prince's hand away.

With a kick of his right foot, the prince flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

"Bang~"

"Pfft~"

The prince who had fallen to the ground just wanted to get up when he spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole momentum suddenly dropped and his spirit became listless.

"His Royal Highness!"

The Grand Tutor was shocked and quickly stepped forward to support the Prince.

The staggering prince stood up and stared at Chu Ning: "Kill me if you have the guts!"

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Why would I kill my brother, the Crown Prince? I have already said that my target today is He Peng!"

As soon as this was said, Yang Wende quickly suggested: "Your Highness, Prince of Chu, now that Lord He has been killed, can you withdraw your troops?"

At this point, the prince has already lost. There is no need to fight any further, otherwise Kyoto City will be in chaos!

As prime minister, Yang Wende wanted to keep the matter within controllable range as much as possible.

But Ran Ming's face darkened when he heard this, and he pointed the spear at the prince, saying with displeasure:

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has already said that he will not kill you, but you still want to do it. Humph, do you really think that if His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu doesn't kill you, I won't dare to kill you?"

The prince looked at the big guy who had injured him, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes: "Come on, kill me now if you have the guts!"

Ran Ming was furious and was about to rush forward with a spear in hand.

But Chu Ning stopped him: "Ran Ming, step back!"

"Your Highness, but he..."

"This king says, stand down!"

"Yes!"

Although he was unwilling, Ran Ming still retreated.

The Grand Tutor heaved a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, Prince Chu, since this matter has come to an end, can I take the Crown Prince back to the palace to heal his wounds?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "Of course, no problem, but I still have to deal with the aftermath of this place, so I won't see you off."

"Thank you, Your Highness the King of Chu!" For the first time in his life, the Grand Tutor respectfully bowed to Chu Ning.

To be honest, Taifu himself cannot let his opponent go after winning.

But Chu Ning did it.

At this moment, the Grand Tutor looked at Chu Ning with some admiration.

In the past, he just thought that Chu Ning was a prince of humble origin, with some cleverness and some luck.

From the beginning to the end, he never took Chu Ning seriously, and never thought that the throne would fall on the head of Chu Ning, the eighteenth prince.

But after what happened today, he completely changed his mind.

No matter how the prince lost this round, at least in his opinion, the prince's loss was not unfair.

Chu Ning had been planning the situation for Zhao State from the very beginning, and even used 50,000 troops from Liang Province to destroy the remnants of Zhao State.

He even used this incident to stir up a dispute between the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.

Now that he has won, he is willing to give the prince a way out. Such a wise and compassionate person, isn't he exactly the crown prince he wanted?

With respect for Chu Ning, the Grand Tutor and Yang Wende supported the prince on the left and right as they walked out.

Chu Ning was not idle at this time either, and gave an order: "Everyone, bury the bodies here, and by the way, check if there are any survivors in Fourth Brother's house."

At the command, the Bingzhou soldiers began to move, and everyone at the scene began to clean up the corpses.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

When the prince and his two companions passed by a group of soldiers, a sharp sword with a cold glow flew out from them.

Before anyone could react, a sword pierced the prince's chest!

"Ah~"

The prince screamed and blood splattered, spraying on the two ministers on his left and right.

The Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister were stunned, then quickly turned around and were shocked to see that the person who did it was actually Liu Yunqing!

"It's you!"

"How dare you murder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The two were furious. They didn't expect that the prince, whom they had rescued from Chu Ning with great difficulty, would die at the hands of this man.

Liu Yunqing drew out his sword and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, I have avenged you, revenged you!"

Under the illumination of the torches at night, that rather handsome face appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Chu Ning's face darkened: "Come here, take him down!"

The surrounding Bingzhou soldiers rushed up and surrounded Liu Yunqing.

But the soldiers of the city defense camp around Liu Yunqing actually protected him in the middle.

At the same time, the prince, who still had a breath left, slowly turned around with the help of the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister.

"It's...it's you!"

The prince stared at Liu Yunqing intently, spitting blood from his mouth, and said unwillingly, "I never thought that I would die at the hands of someone like you."

Liu Yunqing laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, you never thought of it, I never thought that I could kill the prince in this life!

Do you know that when I was at my lowest point, it was the Fourth Prince who was willing to lend me a helping hand!

Do you still remember that it was because of you that I was able to get third place in the imperial examination!

Also, in the final palace examination, it was because of the efforts of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to protect me that I was able to become the second place.

Just because I am not your man, you want to suppress me. If it weren't for the Fourth Prince, I might have been suppressed by you and forced to go home!"

Liu Yunqing, who was getting angrier and angrier, stared at the prince and said, "Today, you killed the Fourth Prince, so you are my enemy!

Now, if I kill you, I will repay the kindness of the Fourth Prince, and I will have no regrets in this life!"

Such words made the prince so angry that he stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist and wanted to refute.

However, blood gushed out of his chest, his vision quickly blurred, and his last bit of strength was exhausted. Everything went black before his eyes, and his clenched fists fell down limply.

The prince of Chu ended his short life!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The Grand Tutor was horrified and held the Prince in his arms and shook him continuously, but the Prince in front of him was already dead and unable to respond.

The furious Taifu turned around and stared at Liu Yunqing: "You traitor, you deserve to die!"

Liu Yunqing continued to laugh wildly: "Yes, the Fourth Prince has already gone, and I have nothing to linger on. He really deserves to die!"

After saying that, Liu Yunqing turned to look at Chu Ning with a strange look on his face:

"Thank you, Your Highness, the Prince of Chu, for giving me this opportunity. Otherwise, I would not have been able to kill the prince!"

After he finished speaking, the man's eyes turned cold, and his right hand holding the sword suddenly slashed towards his neck.

"Pfft~"

A bloodstain appeared, and Liu Yunqing's body suddenly fell down with blood splattering!

The soldiers of the city defense camp were left standing there in a daze, looking at themselves in bewilderment.
