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

Bai Zong hosted a banquet for all the people who came to seek marriage, but Chu Ning was the only one not invited.

But this news was also discovered by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

While Bai Zong was trying to win over everyone, Zhao Yu was also reporting to Chu Ning in the inn.

"Your Highness, the Marquis of Songyuan is inviting everyone to a banquet, he must be trying to harm you!" Zhao Yu said in a deep voice with a cold face.

Chu Ning put his hands behind his back, with a calm expression: "If they are willing to be used by Bai Zong, how can I control it?"

"Let them go. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick will be exposed."

He couldn't stop others from forming an alliance, but he had already promised Princess Changping the marriage proposal and would never let her get married.

If Bai Zong and others don't know what's good for them, then we'll have to show our true colors with our own actions.

Although this place is Qin State, as a prince of Chu State, he believes that Ying Zheng will not easily attack him.

As long as these young people take action, he has no opponent.

Even if the other party joins forces, he is not afraid at all.

But Zhao Yu was still a little worried: "Your Highness, if you allow this group of people to join forces, they will definitely target you in the next marriage."

"so what?"

Chu Ning chuckled: "The marriage proposal is related to the reputation of the Qin State. They can't openly target me. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke if it gets out?"

"And don't forget, among the people he invited, there are several who have a good relationship with the king, and they may not agree."

Zhao Yu wanted to persuade him, but Chu Ning waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's late, go down and rest."

"I'll take my leave." Zhao Yu had no choice but to bow and leave.

But what Zhao Yu didn't know was that Chu Ning behind him narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

How could he not be vigilant when Bai Zong joined forces with so many people to target him?

It's just that he didn't want to make the people below worry because of his own concerns.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually extremely nervous on the inside.

Bai Zong went to so much trouble to invite everyone to join forces, he must be confident of victory, and the next marriage proposal will definitely cause trouble.

What's more, he killed one hundred Qin cavalrymen. The Qin officials were already dissatisfied with him. If he made any mistake, it would definitely be magnified infinitely.

"We still have to be more careful next time."

Chu Ning muttered to himself, then turned around and went back to the house to rest.

At this time, after Bai Zong received everyone's response, both parties had a full meal before leaving.

under night.

On the deserted streets, the sound of horse hooves seemed particularly loud.

The eleventh prince and the twelfth prince rode their horses side by side, slowly, with several guards following behind them.

"Twelfth brother, do you think Bai Zong's plan can succeed?"

On the way back, the Eleventh Prince couldn't help but ask.

The twelfth prince chuckled and said, "Don't worry, eleventh brother. Bai Zong is Bai Qi's son. With so many of us joining forces, Chu Ning will not be able to escape this time."

The Eleventh Prince nodded slightly and was about to speak when he heard footsteps on the street in the distance.

The guard in the front frowned and shouted coldly: "Who is it?"

But instead of saying anything, the other party suddenly rushed over.

With the dim light of the fire, they quickly saw that the person coming was a masked man in black wearing a nightgown and holding a blade.

"Protect His Highness!" The guard was shocked and quickly reminded everyone loudly.

The guards behind immediately protected the two princes.

The eleventh prince was furious when he saw this: "Who are you? How dare you commit murder in the capital of the Qin Empire?"

But the other party did not respond, but rushed over instead. The Eleventh Prince was shocked and said, "Stop them quickly!"

Suddenly, the two sides fought.

Although the palace guards were powerful, the strength of this group of men in black was equally matched with them, and with the advantage in numbers, they quickly suppressed the palace guards.

"Your Highnesses, we can't stop them. Go quickly!"

"We will carve out a bloody path for His Highness!"

The guards knew they couldn't stop them, so they quickly gathered their men and charged in the same direction.

The men in black here couldn't resist and were rushed over by them.

The two of them galloped on their horses under the protection of their guards.

But the man in black did not give up, but pursued relentlessly.

At this moment, the soldiers in the palace fought desperately, trying to delay time and buy more chances for the two princes to survive.

But their numbers were too small, and the men in black still chased after them.

Although he was riding a horse, the man in black had great skills in lightness and quickly blocked the way along the eaves.

"Twelfth brother, let's go separately!"

After saying this, the Eleventh Prince rode his horse off in another direction.

The twelfth prince turned around and went in the opposite direction without saying a word.

The man in black suddenly split into two and chased after the two men separately.

"Damn it!"

The Eleventh Prince was furious: "You two stop them!"

He left the last two guards to hold off the enemy, while the other escaped on horseback.

The two guards were loyal and looked up at the four men in black.

Although they knew they could not win, they still bought a lot of time for the Eleventh Prince.

Within half a cup of tea, two guards fell in a pool of blood, and two of the four men in black were killed. The remaining two immediately chased after them.

In another alley, the twelfth prince was not so smart. He and the two guards beside him were surrounded and were at a loss.

"Who the hell are you?"

The twelfth prince was furious and swung the sword in his hand, but he was unable to resist.

The man in black did not respond, but continued to attack, waving his weapon.

Although the two guards fought fiercely, they could only stop two people, and the remaining two went straight for the twelfth prince.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

"Oh no, Your Highness can't hold on any longer!"

The two guards were so anxious seeing the twelfth prince being besieged that they lost their composure and were caught in a loophole by the man in black, who killed one of them with a single blow.

Finally, the guard saw that the situation was not good and cheered up to deal with it.

However, the man in black who had just freed his hands rushed over at this moment.

Faced with the siege of two men in black, and worried about the safety of the twelfth prince, this man was quickly killed by the two men.

When the twelfth prince saw that everyone around him was dead, he was heartbroken!

"I am the prince of the Great Chu. If you kill me, the Great Qin Emperor will never let it go!"

"No matter who you belong to, retreat now, and I will pretend that nothing happened!"

The twelfth prince panicked and tried to intimidate the assassin in front of him with words.

But the man in black was not afraid at all, and attacked wildly, waving his weapon.

Facing four people alone, the Twelfth Prince suddenly felt exhausted. He held on for a moment, and the sword in his hand was knocked down.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp sword gleaming with cold light came whistling and headed straight for his chest.

The twelfth prince was horrified and quickly turned away.

Who knew that a knife would rush towards him from behind at this moment!

"Pfft!"

The sharp blade pierced through the body and blood trickled down from the tip of the knife.

Feeling powerless, the twelfth prince looked down at his pierced chest, his face ashen.

"Who...are...you?"

With reluctance, the twelfth prince left his last words and fell to the ground.
