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

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

Chu Ning was still asleep when he heard Zhao Yu's call.

"Whoo~"

Chu Ning yawned, stood up, opened the door, and asked calmly, "What happened?"

He knew Zhao Yu's character very well. If it wasn't a big deal, he would never disturb him at this time.

What's more, there was a hint of anxiety in Zhao Yu's tone, which seemed to be related to him.

If there was no relationship, Zhao Yu would not be like this.

"Your Highness, the twelfth prince is dead!" Zhao Yu said in a deep voice.

"Ok?"

Chu Ning was stunned, all sleepiness disappeared, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Twelfth brother is dead? How did he die? When did it happen?"

Zhao Yu quickly recounted what had just happened on the street.

"Blocking in the middle of the night, assassination on the street?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a strange look flashed across his eyes: "This is the capital of Qin State. How dare someone kill someone in the street?"

"However, you just said that Brother Eleven and Brother Twelve were together, and Brother Twelve was in trouble. How is Brother Eleven doing?"

Zhao Yu sighed: "The eleventh prince is lucky. His guards held back the assassin, giving him a chance to escape."

"Although the man in black chased after him and injured His Highness the Eleventh, the soldiers from the Great Qin City Defense Battalion arrived in time and saved His Highness the Eleventh."

"His Highness the Eleventh has been taken to the palace. He is being treated by the imperial physician and is being questioned by the Emperor of Qin."

I was really lucky that I met the city defense battalion at the critical moment.

Otherwise, even the eleventh prince would have to die here.

However, who on earth dared to kill the two princes of Chu at this time?

What is the purpose of the other party?

Do you want to sow discord between Daqin and Dachu?

Or was it directed at him?

But if they were coming for him, why didn't they just attack him directly?

While Chu Ning was deep in thought, a soldier came to report: "Your Highness, the Emperor of Great Qin has sent someone to summon you and His Highness the Thirteenth Prince to the palace."

The action is really fast.

I guess Yingzheng’s head must be buzzing now.

One prince died and another was injured. If the Qin State does not give an explanation to the Chu State this time, the relationship between the two sides will definitely deteriorate.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning made a prompt decision: "Go and ask Brother Thirteen to go to the palace immediately. I will wait for him at the door."

There is no time to lose, we must enter the palace as soon as possible to understand the situation.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ning met the Thirteenth Prince at the gate. Under the protection of Zhao Yu and several guards, he followed several Qin imperial guards and rode straight to the palace.

On the way, the Thirteenth Prince's face turned livid, and he said fiercely: "If I knew who did this, I would never let him off!"

Chu Ning shook his head: "Now is not the time to talk about this. We don't even know who the murderer is."

"Humph, who else could it be!"

The Thirteenth Prince was furious: "It must have been done by that fellow Bai Zong. Only his Bai family has the strength to do this in the capital of Qin."

"Don't let me meet him, or I will beat him till his teeth are nowhere to be found."

Although his relationship with the twelfth prince was average and they had even quarreled, they were brothers after all. How could he tolerate someone killing his brother?

He has decided to take care of this matter.

Chu Ning sighed and said, "Let's go to the palace first to see the situation. Thirteenth brother, don't be impulsive. Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Let's wait and see what happens."

The Thirteenth Prince snorted coldly and said nothing more.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

As the crowd galloped on horseback, they suddenly heard the whistling sound of sharp arrows coming from the eaves of the surrounding houses.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”

"No, there are assassins!"

Zhao Yu reacted and became furious: "Protect the two princes and rush over!"

The best way out of the dilemma was to rush forward while protecting Chu Ning and the Thirteenth Prince.

At the command, the white horse cavalrymen immediately waved their spears on both sides to block the sharp arrows, and Chu Ning and the Thirteenth Prince rushed out.

But the other party came prepared.

Suddenly, several men in black appeared on the street ahead. They reached out and pulled, and two thick ropes blocked the way.

"No, there's an ambush!"

The Thirteenth Prince roared, leaped suddenly, and rushed in front of the man in black.

With his palms attacking continuously, the man in black was beaten back step by step.

Chu Ning also frowned and was forced to dismount.

The two sides were too close to each other, and it was too late to dodge. All they could do was let the horses crash into them. It was fine as long as the humans were okay.

But after Chu Ning landed, several men in black rushed over immediately.

"Humph, if you want to kill His Highness, ask the spear in my hand first!"

Zhao Yu stepped forward, holding a spear, and knocked down several people in an instant.

Chu Ning was also facing several men in black at this moment. Although he had no weapons in his hands, he was able to handle the situation with ease with his strength as a first-class master.

For Chu Ning's safety, Zhao Yu killed one man and then used his spear to knock the weapon out of his hand.

"Your Highness, take the knife!"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, leaped up, and with the help of the sharp blade in his right hand, he chopped back a man in black with a backhand blow.

As for the Thirteenth Prince standing aside, he also killed a man in black and snatched the sharp blade from the other's hand.

The strength of the pseudo top-notch master was fully demonstrated at this moment. Against five people, he was not only not at a disadvantage, but had the upper hand.

In just a moment, he could deal with the man in black in front of him.

The situation seemed to be in their favor, but the black-clad archers on the roof ignored their companions and continued to shoot arrows whizzing down.

"Damn it!"

The Thirteenth Prince was furious and killed the man in black with a single blow, then used the man's body as a shield.

Zhao Yu came to Chu Ning, and the two stood back to back, blocking the sharp arrows.

But the White Horse Cavalry who lost their horses were not so lucky. They were constantly shot and killed.

Chu Ning felt distressed when seeing this scene.

These were elite troops, and they died at the hands of this group of unknown people.

"I will block the sharp arrows, Zhao Yu, you rush to the roof and kill them!"

"But your safety, Your Highness..."

"Don't worry about me, you must kill those archers!"

Chu Ning was furious and pushed Zhao Yu away.

Helpless Zhao Yu had no choice but to roar angrily. His aura suddenly exploded, he paused on one foot, and his body turned into a residual shadow and rushed to the eaves.

The long spears whistled and killed the archers on this side, causing them to scream in pain.

But the archers on the roof on the other side took the opportunity to shoot arrows.

Chu Ning had a gloomy face and waved the sharp blade in his hand, resisting and retreating at the same time.

But the archers had already locked onto Chu Ning, and all their arrows were aimed at him alone.

Although Chu Ning is a first-class master, there are too many bows and arrows.

"Pfft~"

An arrow hit Chu Ning's shoulder.

"Eighteenth brother!"

The Thirteenth Prince was furious. He pushed the corpse away and jumped onto the roof.

He kept swinging the sharp blade in his hand, killing the archers one after another.

Zhao Yu and the Thirteenth Prince were like two gods of death. They killed more than a dozen archers in just a moment!

After the matter was settled, the two came to Chu Ning, only to find that Chu Ning was already covering his shoulder with his face pale.

"Your Highness, how are you injured?"
