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

Chu Ning's determination made the third prince determined to kill the thirteenth prince as soon as possible.

Only if the Thirteenth Prince is killed, it will be of no avail even if Chu Ning's Bingzhou troops arrive.

He wants to strike first.

He wanted to embarrass Chu Ning.

He also wanted to completely destroy the plans of all the princes to unite.

At the command, the soldiers of the city defense camp suddenly became very powerful and killed the soldiers of the royal palace, forcing them to retreat step by step.

But the Thirteenth Prince was, after all, a pseudo-top-notch master. Every time the soldiers of the City Defense Camp tried to break in, they would be killed out by the Thirteenth Prince.

At this moment, the Thirteenth Prince was like a mad tiger. As long as the soldiers of the city defense camp dared to charge in, he would rush forward with red eyes.

It is unknown how many soldiers in the city defense camp were killed or wounded, and the entrance to the hall was filled with corpses.

"Your Highness, there are too many corpses. Our people can't get in. Let's postpone the attack and move the corpses to both sides." A centurion suggested.

The Third Prince said coldly: "We cannot suspend our attack. I will continue to consume their energy!"

"Pass the order, the attack continues, but we must also take the opportunity to clean up the bodies."

"The people in front are fighting, and the people in the back are cleaning up the bodies. We must not give the people inside a chance to breathe!"

At the order, the soldiers of the city defense camp did not dare to delay and continued to charge.

But with the Thirteenth Prince there, they couldn't get in for a while.

At the same time, things were happening on the other two sides of the city.

Inside the city, Bingzhou military camp.

It was a quiet night, with everything supposed to be silent and everyone immersed in sleep.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the arrival of a person disturbed their sweet dreams.

After revealing his identity, the messenger met the lieutenant general. After conveying Chu Ning's order, the lieutenant general did not dare to delay and immediately blew the assembly horn.

"Woo~wu~wu~"

As the huge horn sounded, the whole military camp suddenly became lively. The Bingzhou soldiers all lined up in unison, dressed neatly, picked up their weapons, and lined up.

"Everyone, divide into ten groups to support the princes. If you encounter Sizhou soldiers blocking the way, negotiate first. If the negotiation fails, take action immediately. Don't waste time!"

"Yes!"

The Bingzhou soldiers were in high spirits, filled with murderous intent and extremely excited.

After being in Kyoto for so long, they finally have a place to use their skills.

This time, they wanted to let the dignitaries in Kyoto see their fighting ability so as not to be looked down upon.

Soon, Bingzhou troops marched towards the city in a mighty force.

At the same time, the emperor also received the news.

Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.

The emperor who was resting suddenly heard Zhao Ming's voice.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

The emperor who was awakened frowned, put on a coat with an unhappy look on his face, and stood up.

Looking at Zhao Ming who was kneeling on the ground, he asked in a cold voice: "If you wake me up in the middle of the night and don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I will not let you off easily."

In fact, he knew that with Zhao Ming's personality, he would never come to him unless it was something serious.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has attacked the Thirteenth Prince again and is attacking the palace!"

Zhao Ming said in one breath: "The other princes saw the smoke and rushed to support with their troops, but they were blocked by the Sizhou troops."

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu was furious when he heard about this. He has already sent people to mobilize the troops of Bingzhou. It looks like the two sides are going to have a fight!"

The emperor's face changed drastically when he heard this: "What do these two rebellious sons want to do? Do they want to rebel?"

The furious emperor threw off his coat and paced back and forth in anger.

The troops of Sizhou and Bingzhou total 40,000. If a real war breaks out, the people in the city will suffer.

The emperor became more and more angry and immediately ordered: "Call those two rebellious sons to me!"

Zhao Ming lowered his head and said nothing.

"Ok?"

The emperor glared at her and said, "Why, even you want to disobey my order?"

Zhao Ming said bitterly, "Your Majesty, I dare not disobey your orders. However, there are so many soldiers outside, your orders may not reach the two princes."

The emperor fell silent.

The order will definitely be delivered, but now that the two sides have reached this point, it is hard to say whether his order will be executed.

After all, both sides are already mobilizing their troops, and whoever retreats at this time will give the other side an opportunity.

Therefore, even if the order was passed to Chu Ning and the third prince, these two would pretend that they had not received the order.

The simplest way is to kill the person who delivered the message and put the blame on the other party.

Thinking of this, the emperor's face became terribly gloomy.

"Am I just going to watch them make trouble like this?"

The emperor was furious: "Do these two rebellious sons want to piss me off to death?"

Zhao Ming smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you should quickly mobilize the imperial guards to protect the palace, just in case..."

If someone has rebellious intentions, they might attack the palace after dealing with their opponent!

Of course, he didn't dare say this.

He believed that the emperor was intelligent enough to understand the meaning of this sentence.

The emperor was shocked.

"Yes, I should remain calm now and ensure the safety of the palace!"

The emperor shouted hurriedly: "Come here, immediately mobilize the imperial guards to guard the palace and strengthen the alert. No one is allowed to enter the palace without my permission!"

At the command, the imperial palace guards began to mobilize and were deployed at the four palace gates to prevent any accidents.

For a time, everyone in the palace began to feel insecure.

At the same time, the major families and civil and military officials in the city were also paying attention to the actions in the city.

Qin Wangfu.

The old King of Qin stood in the yard, looking at the smoke and fire in the distance, his face expressionless, his cloudy eyes making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

At this time, his son Chu Yang stepped forward and said, "Father, it looks like both sides are going to fight for real tonight."

"is it?"

The old Qin King said calmly: "Why do I always feel that there is a lot of thunder but little rain?"

Chu Yang frowned: "But now the troops of Sizhou and Bingzhou have been dispatched. Once the two sides meet, they will definitely fight!"

But the old King of Qin still looked unmoved: "Then have you ever thought about what would happen if the situation of the Thirteenth Prince was resolved before the two armies met?

Without the source, there would be no reason for either side to continue fighting.”

These words left Chu Yang dumbfounded.

"Father, do you think the Third Prince can deal with the Thirteenth Prince tonight?"

"Who can say for sure."

The old Qin King leaned on his cane and said in a deep voice: "I always feel like something is missing about what happened tonight, but I can't remember what it is.

Alas, people have poor memory when they get old, please help me go back and have a rest."

After saying this, he turned and went to the backyard.

Although Chu Yang didn't understand the meaning of his father's words, he still hurried over to help him back to the house.

At the same time, the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister were each in their own homes, staring at the smoke signals coming from the Thirteenth Prince's residence.

They knew that once the wolf smoke went out, it would mean that the Thirteenth Prince would be killed.

And the situation is bound to deteriorate completely with the killing of the Thirteenth Prince.

Chu Ning is not someone who will suffer any loss!

This matter tonight will definitely not end well.
