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

The next three days in Kyoto were very quiet.

Everyone knew that the funeral would be held three days later, and no one dared to cause trouble at this time.

Even the young masters in the city did not dare to act arrogantly, and many entertainment venues chose to close their doors to visitors during these three days.

For three days, the atmosphere in Kyoto was very depressing.

The crown prince, the imperial concubine, and the princes died one after another, and the whole world was weeping!

For this reason, when the funeral began three days later, many people spontaneously gathered on the streets of the city.

They were dressed in mourning, holding paper money in their hands, waiting for the funeral procession.

Soon, the sound of gongs and drums was heard from the distant street.

A funeral procession slowly came under the escort of soldiers.

There were three huge coffins in the team.

The coffin in the front was golden all over, shining with golden light, making people dare not look directly at it.

The two coffins at the back were silver, shining brightly in the sunlight.

These three coffins naturally belong to the Crown Prince, Concubine De and the Fourth Prince.

Behind the coffin, the emperor rode his horse with an expressionless face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

The empress was also riding a horse side by side with the emperor, with guards leading war horses beside her. The only difference between her and the emperor was that the empress was in tears and crying.

Behind him is Ling Feiyan.

As the Crown Princess, her status at this moment is second only to the Emperor and the Empress, so her position is after the two of them.

Behind them were the princes headed by the third prince, as well as princes and ministers.

The death of the crown prince this time concerns the royal family, so even the old King of Qin came.

It’s just that the old King of Qin was old, so he was carried in a sedan chair.

At the end were all the civil and military officials in the court. There were hundreds of them, and the street seemed to have no end in sight.

When the people looked at the funeral procession, they were suddenly filled with grief and raised the paper money in their hands.

Suddenly, paper money fell from the sky, cries of grief continued, and the entire city of Kyoto was plunged into grief.

Chu Ning watched this scene with an expressionless face.

It goes without saying that these people were definitely arranged by the Third Prince in order to make the funeral beautiful.

I have to say that the third prince is quite capable and can even come up with this idea.

The emperor is a person who cares about his reputation, so such a grand ceremony will definitely make him happy.

However, mobilizing so many people in the city was just to make the emperor happy, not for the funeral. The third prince has gone too far.

Just as Chu Ning was sighing in his heart, a hidden weapon suddenly fell from the paper money floating in the sky!

"Ah~"

Amid screams, several officials were killed by hidden weapons.

Chu Ning's face changed drastically. Looking at the paper money falling all over the sky, he shouted angrily, "Be careful of hidden weapons!"

Then, he swung his sleeves and with a huge force all the falling paper money was swept away.

But some officials behind him were not so lucky, and several of them were killed by hidden weapons.

Even Jia Yu had a gloomy face at this moment and kept dodging.

But there were too many pieces of paper money in the air, making it hard to defend against them. Many hidden weapons fell down, and although he avoided the vital points, he was still hit by two hidden weapons on the shoulder.

Just when he was about to dodge, more hidden weapons came whistling towards him.

Jia Yu was shocked and cried out in his heart: "My life is over!"

At this critical moment, a furious voice suddenly came: "Master Jia, be careful!"

I saw a person's figure flashing, and the sleeves in his hands spinning wildly, and all the hidden weapons that fell were swept away.

Jia Yu calmed down and saw clearly that the person coming was Zhao Yu.

"Thank you, General Zhao!"

"Master Jia, please hide under the eaves first. I still have to protect others!"

Zhao Yu did not stop and ran straight towards Yun Jianye and Lu Xiuwen in the distance.

However, when he arrived at the two men, they were already seriously injured, and their snow-white mourning clothes were dyed red.

"My two lords, follow me quickly!"

Zhao Yu asked the two to follow him and protected them as he rushed to the eaves nearby.

"General Zhao, you...you should go and see His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the Queen of Chu." Lu Xiuwen said in a deep voice, covering his injured shoulder.

Zhao Yu frowned, glanced into the distance, and shook his head, saying, "The Princess of Chu is protected by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, and there are many imperial guards over there, so don't worry."

Lu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Yun Jianye's left hand was injured and blood was constantly flowing, but he still stared at the already chaotic scene and said coldly:

"Who dares to assassinate at this moment, and what is their purpose?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yu pointed to the distance and said, "Your Majesty is also in trouble. It seems that the other party wants to create chaos. The real target is Your Majesty!"

Yun Jianye and Lu Xiuwen looked at each other, with a look of horror on their faces.

At this moment, someone actually dared to attack the emperor!

"How audacious!"

Lu Xiuwen said in a deep voice: "Although it is a funeral, there are many imperial guards here. How dare they assassinate at this time?"

Zhao Yu shook his head: "It's too chaotic right now. The funeral procession has blocked the imperial guards. There aren't many people around His Majesty right now. The other party may be trying to use the chaos to assassinate him!"

Yun Jianye frowned: "If this continues, will His Majesty be in danger? Should we go over and help?"

But Zhao Yu smiled bitterly: "Now we can't get through even if we want to. The situation is in chaos and there are people everywhere. We can only hope for the best."

The three of them were helpless. Although they wanted to go over to help, they were too far away from the emperor and Chu Ning.

Moreover, there were ministers and common people in chaos everywhere, and the imperial guards also wanted to get in and mixed in, so the scene suddenly became chaotic.

The emperor, who was riding a horse in the distance, was furious when he saw this: "Imperial Guards, quickly capture these people for me!"

As he spoke, he did not forget to comfort the queen beside him: "Don't panic, there are imperial guards here, no one dares to act recklessly!"

The surrounding imperial guards gathered together to protect the two of them. Anyone who approached, whether they were civilians or assassins, would be killed by them!

At this moment, they didn't care whether they were civilians or assassins, anyone who approached would be killed without mercy.

Soon, a large space was vacated on this side, and the emperor and the empress were forced to dismount and take shelter under the eaves nearby.

But even so, there were still assassins coming from the surrounding streets, alleys, and even on the roofs!

The opponents were all tall and skilled in martial arts. Relying on their advantage in numbers, they were able to erode the imperial guards bit by bit.

Chu Ning, who was far away, also noticed this scene. While protecting Shen Wanying beside him, he said coldly:

"This group of people really know how to choose the right time. They actually know how to create chaos in order to assassinate my father!"

Shen Wanying frowned and asked in confusion: "Assassinating His Majesty is a grave crime that will exterminate all nine generations of the family. Who on earth is so bold?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, several assassins jumped down from the roof and surrounded Chu Ning and Shen Wanying.

Chu Ning looked at the murderous assassin, his expression changed slightly: "It seems that the other party's target is not only my father, but also us!"
