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

After the meeting at Zuixianlou ended, the princes left and went back to their own residences.

But what they didn't know was that outside Zuixian Tower, a pair of cold eyes were staring at them.

Looking at the princes who were leaving, the man sneered and said, "If you want to join forces with me, then I will strike first."

He pointed his right hand in the direction where a prince was leaving and said coldly, "Let's start with you!"

At the command, the soldiers behind him immediately rushed over there.

Under the cover of night, the sound of horse hooves disturbs the peace of the place.

With the faint light of the torch, the Thirteenth Prince rode towards the palace with several guards.

But halfway through, many torches appeared on the street ahead.

"Your Highness, there is someone in front of you!"

"Hmm? Go check it out!"

The Thirteenth Prince snorted coldly, without any fear, and brought his men to the other party.

As soon as the two sides met, the Thirteenth Prince saw the Third Prince standing in front.

"It turned out to be the third brother!"

The Thirteenth Prince bowed and saluted: "I wonder why Third Brother is blocking my way?"

"Blocking your way?"

The Third Prince sneered, “Thirteenth Brother, you are wrong. I am not blocking your way, but I am here to invite you to the Ministry of Justice.

The assassination case is not over yet. I don't know who provided the armor in Sixth Brother's house. I now suspect that you are involved in this matter. You should go with me to the Ministry of Justice to explain this matter."

The person is not good!

This is specifically aimed at this king.

The Thirteenth Prince was shocked, knowing that the Third Prince might take action tonight.

His face darkened, and the Thirteenth Prince signaled the guards behind him to get ready with his eyes, while pretending to be calm:

"Third brother, it's so late now, there must be no one in the Ministry of Justice. How about waiting until the Ministry of Justice opens tomorrow, and then I will go with you?"

It would be obviously inappropriate to refuse at this moment.

There are dozens of soldiers from the city defense camp behind the third prince, but there are only five or six people around him. If a fight really breaks out, they will be outnumbered.

The only way is to calm the third prince down and prevent him from taking action!

But the Third Prince, who had the upper hand, sneered: "I came here specially tonight. I have already informed Lord Ling at the Ministry of Justice and asked him to wait there with the officials of the Ministry of Justice."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Thirteenth Prince's face changed drastically.

The Ministry of Justice was notified in advance, indicating that the Third Prince would not give him any chance.

He said he was going to the Ministry of Justice, but if he surrendered, who knows whether the Third Prince would kill him directly.

When the time comes to report, we can say that he was killed in the resistance.

Just like when the sixth prince was killed, the emperor will definitely favor the third prince at that time.

Thinking of this, his eyes turned cold, and the Thirteenth Prince said in a deep voice: "What if I don't go to the Ministry of Justice with my third brother?"

The Third Prince smiled contemptuously: "Thirteenth brother, do you think you have any choice? If you don't go with me, then I will have to take action!"

"Of course, if Thirteenth Brother can tell me who is behind this, I will ask my father to spare your life for the sake of our brotherhood!"

The mastermind behind this?

He didn't even participate in the assassination, so how could he know who was behind it?

If I really agree to this, wouldn't that be admitting my guilt?

The third prince is setting a trap for him!

Once you agree, you will be admitting your guilt and giving out other people, which is equivalent to helping the third prince get rid of other princes.

The Thirteenth Prince suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, Third Brother, do you really think that I am just a warrior?"

"Although I am not as interested in politics as my other brothers, I grew up in the royal family. There are some things you can't lie to me about!"

"Now, I know why you chose to attack me first. You think I am a martial artist and easy to be deceived, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Third Prince, who had originally had a look of contempt on his face, suddenly changed color.

Who would have thought that the Thirteenth Prince, who looked so strong and powerful, could be so wise.

I underestimated him!

The Third Prince narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of murderous intent: "Old Thirteen, what nonsense are you talking about? I am only investigating the assassination case, why do you have to involve this matter with other things?"

"is it?"

The Thirteenth Prince showed a hint of coldness: "If it's just for investigating the case, why can't Third Brother wait even for one night?

You just saw me and my other brothers together, so you wanted to take action in advance and defeat us one by one."

At this point, there is no need to pretend anymore.

He just wants to force the third prince to come clean!

The third prince raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Since the plan has been seen through, we have no choice but to take the risk and kill the Thirteenth Prince first.

It’s not like I haven’t killed a prince before!

Killing one is killing, killing two is also killing.

As long as he can become the crown prince, it is worth killing all the princes.

Since ancient times, the victors have been kings and the losers have been bandits. If you don't ruthlessly step on the heads of others to rise to the throne, you will be controlled by others even if you become a prince.

Thinking of this, the Third Prince became murderous and looked at the Thirteenth Prince with some unfriendly eyes.

"Thirteenth brother, stop talking nonsense!"

The Third Prince said in a cold voice: "I will ask you one last question. Will you tell me who is behind this? Are you willing to go back to the Ministry of Justice with me to be investigated?"

The Thirteenth Prince's eyes turned cold: "It's not impossible for me to go to the Ministry of Justice with you, but you have to produce evidence first!"

Refusing in person would only give the Third Prince a reason to take action.

He neither refused nor agreed, leaving the Third Prince unable to take any action.

But when the Third Prince saw that the Thirteenth Prince was unmoved, he could not help but get angry and said, "Since you are unwilling to cooperate with my investigation, you must be guilty.

Come, arrest the Thirteenth Prince and take him back to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation."

At a command, the soldiers of the city defense camp behind him rushed forward waving their weapons.

The Thirteenth Prince's eyes turned cold, he drew the sword from his waist, and roared: "Even if I die today, I will drag you down with me!"

"Come on, follow me and fight them!"

There were too many of them, and they were all riding horses, so there was no way to escape.

The only way is to give it a try!

If the third prince could be killed in the chaos, there might be a glimmer of hope.

The Thirteenth Prince was very confident in his own strength. He believed that as long as he could get close to the Third Prince, he would be able to defeat him.

Among all the princes, except for those who do not like to practice martial arts, most of the other princes are first-class masters.

But his Thirteenth Prince is a pseudo top-notch master!

When facing the third prince who was a top-notch master, he could defeat the opponent within ten moves.

What he needs now is to get close to the third prince!

The sword in his hand spun, and the Thirteenth Prince charged forward with full confidence.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the third prince sneered and said, "Shoot!"

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”

Suddenly, archers appeared on the roof and shot arrows at the Thirteenth Prince and others.

Suddenly, arrows rained down, killing all the guards around the Thirteenth Prince.

The Thirteenth Prince waved his sword to resist and turned his horse to retreat.

He knew that the Third Prince came well prepared and there was no way he could get close to him.

The only way now is to escape!

"Want to escape? Have you asked this king?"

The Third Prince sneered: "Since I dare to take action, I will not give you a chance to escape!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers from the city defense camp appeared on the path of the Thirteenth Prince's retreat.

The Thirteenth Prince's face changed drastically.

He knew that if nothing unexpected happened, he would have an accident tonight.
