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

"I never thought that His Majesty would put me under house arrest here!"

In the living room.

Bai Zong had a gloomy face and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

What does the assassination of the Prince of Chu have to do with him? Why did the emperor put him under house arrest?

Once this matter gets out, people will really think that he did it.

Fortunately, at this time, Fan Chen and Zhang Cheng arrived after receiving the news.

"See Mr. Marquis."

"No need to be so polite, my lords."

Bai Zong frowned and said, "I'm sure both of you know what happened just now. Now that I'm under house arrest, how should I deal with it next?"

Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across them: "My Lord, don't worry. This matter is most likely caused by someone secretly stirring up trouble and wanting my dynasty to go to war with the State of Chu."

"No one in my dynasty has the courage to attack the prince of Chu at this time, and the person who most wants my dynasty to go to war with Chu must be the prince of Yan, Yan Wuji!"

These words made Bai Zong's heart move.

Now the State of Yan and the State of Chu are at war. It is said that after the State of Chu sent out its great general Ran Ming, the State of Yan was defeated step by step.

In this situation, if Chu State fights Qin State again, it must transfer troops from the front line, so as to relieve the pressure on Yan State.

"Do you suspect that Yan Wuji was secretly instigating this?"

"Yes, this person has many experts with him, and he is also on the list of guests you invited to the banquet. Perhaps he is using your banquet to set up an ambush."

Zhang Cheng said solemnly: "Although this prince of Yan State is usually low-key, he is still alive and well and can serve as a minister to our dynasty. He must have some extraordinary qualities."

"My Lord, you can thoroughly investigate this person. Perhaps you will get some unexpected results. By then, you will definitely be favored by His Majesty and Princess Changping."

Yes, if the real culprit behind the scenes can be found, the marriage proposal might be a sure thing.

Bai Zong's eyes lit up: "That makes sense. I'll have to trouble you two adults to investigate this matter personally. I'm under house arrest and cannot leave the mansion, but you two can mobilize the staff in the mansion at will!"

"We will definitely live up to your trust, Lord Marquis!" The two bowed and retreated.

Bai Zong looked at the two people's backs as they left, but he was thinking about Chu Ning's injuries.

It would be best if Chu Ning could die.

Even if he doesn't die, with such serious injuries, he will definitely have no chance of winning the next marriage.

Even though Chu Ning attended the marriage proposal with an injured body, they had already joined forces and Chu Ning had no chance of winning.

Thinking of the happy things, Bai Zong couldn't help but burst into laughter, sweeping away the gloomy look on his face.

At this time, the Thirteenth Prince Chu Kuang was concerned about Chu Ning's safety and had already ridden his horse back to Xianyang Palace.

"Eighteenth brother, eighteenth brother, how are you?"

Before Chu Kuangren arrived, his voice had arrived first, and he strode straight to the palace where Chu Ning was.

Who knew that as soon as I opened the door, a whistling sound was heard.

"who!"

Chu Kuang was furious and punched him back.

"Crack~"

The two men fought, and Chu Kuang was actually knocked away.

When he was shocked, he saw a person flying out of the house and heading straight for his vital point.

It was not until then that Chu Kuang saw clearly that the person coming was Zhao Yu.

"General Zhao, why did you attack me?" Chu Kuang was puzzled and stood there questioning.

Zhao Yu looked guilty and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness Thirteen, I'm sorry, I am also following orders. Please cooperate."

Chu Kuang's eyes lit up: "Eighteenth brother is awake?"

Zhao Yu shook his head: "It was His Majesty the Eleventh Prince who asked me to arrest you first and then ask you about what happened last night."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Kuang was furious: "Who does Chu Feng think he is? How dare he order you to capture this king?"

But Zhao Yu didn't listen to him. He spun around and attacked with a palm.

Chu Kuang was furious: "Aren't you Eighteenth Brother's man? Why do you have to listen to Chu Feng?"

As he spoke, he turned around to avoid the palm.

He had just fought fiercely with Bai Zong for a long time, and most of his physical strength had been consumed. Moreover, Zhao Yu's strength was even higher than his. He knew that he was no match for him at all.

But Zhao Yu did not answer. Instead, he accelerated his attack, punching and kicking continuously, forcing Chu Kuang to retreat again and again.

"Damn Chu Feng!"

Chu Kuang retreated while cursing: "How dare you use such despicable means to deal with me? Do you think I am really afraid of you?"

Then, he mobilized all his strength, gathered it in his palms, and suddenly fought with Zhao Yu.

"Uh……"

The powerful force made his hands numb and his body flew backwards.

Before he could react, Zhao Yu had already rushed in front of him, raised his hands and struck out several times in succession, forcing him to retreat step by step.

Doorway.

When the eleventh prince Chu Feng saw this scene, a cold look appeared on his face.

"Thirteenth brother, you'd better surrender. I'm just asking you a few questions. If it has nothing to do with you, I'll naturally ask General Zhao to let you go."

But Chu Kuang was furious when he heard this: "This is clearly someone else's conspiracy. Not only did you fall for it without knowing it, but you also attacked me with your own knowledge. You are such a fool!"

Chu Feng's mentality exploded when he was called an idiot in public.

"How dare you, a reckless man, call me a fool?"

Chu Feng's face was gloomy: "It seems that the pressure from General Zhao is not enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards rushed out and cooperated with Zhao Yu to surround Chu Kuang.

This group of people had weapons in their hands, and their joining made it impossible for Chu Kuang, who was already in danger, to cope with it.

In just a blink of an eye, Zhao Yu seized the opportunity and knocked him back with one palm. The other soldiers immediately waved their weapons to subdue him.

Zhao Yu looked guilty and bowed, "Your Highness Thirteen, I'm sorry, I am just following orders. I will definitely apologize if you cooperate to figure this out."

Chu Kuang glared at him fiercely: "Do you know that you are being used? And Chu Feng, that self-righteous guy, is clearly trying to use this incident to cause internal strife among us."

Zhao Yu was unable to refute these words and could only lower his head and remain silent.

Chu Feng smiled contemptuously: "Why, Thirteenth Brother, do you think you are smarter than me?"

"Although what you said is indeed a possibility, isn't there another possibility that you are the mastermind behind it?"

"I'm asking you, are you the only ones who knew about you and my eighteenth brother coming to the palace last night?"

Chu Kuang's eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "Who said that only I and my eighteenth brother knew about this? Zhao Yu and the guards around us also knew about this!"

But Chu Feng shook his head: "General Zhao Yu is loyal to my eighteenth brother, and he promoted the White Horse Cavalry under his command. It is impossible for him to harm my eighteenth brother."

"The only possibility is that you arranged for someone to help you after you got the news. If I remember correctly, everyone around you, Thirteenth Brother, is a master, right?"

"And I have fought with the assassins last night. They are indeed very skilled in martial arts. If the city defense battalion had not arrived in time, I would have died in their hands!"

"The four of us all had accidents last night, but why were you the only one who was fine? How do you want to explain this?"

Chu Kuang was about to speak, but Chu Feng sneered: "The only explanation is that those assassins were your people, so they showed mercy to you!"
