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

Under the night sky, the north wind howled.

The weather in January is very cold. Even if the tent is set up at the foot of the mountain, it is difficult to withstand the cold wind.

In the camp, bonfires were lit up on all sides, burning continuously, making a "pop pop pop" sound.

Several white horse cavalrymen were patrolling. The cold weather made them blow on their hands from time to time, only in this way could they relieve the coldness in their hands.

What they didn't know was that at this moment, under the cover of night, a group of men in black were approaching them.

At this time, a white horse cavalryman suddenly said: "You go first, I'm going to the toilet over there."

After saying this, without waiting for anyone else to speak, he turned and walked towards the woods.

He was humming a little tune and releasing his pleasure when suddenly he felt something moving not far ahead.

He was about to speak, but then he seemed to have remembered something. He pretended not to notice, put on his pants, and turned to leave.

But at this moment, a sharp arrow whizzed towards him from behind.

But the white horse cavalryman seemed to be on guard and suddenly rolled to the ground, letting the sharp arrow pass by him.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Get down quickly!"

Before he could stand up, the White Horse cavalry shouted.

The other patrolling white horse cavalrymen did not dare to be careless and immediately lay down on the ground.

Suddenly, sharp arrows whistled in from all directions.

The other people in the camp who heard the noise were already dressed, and after coming out they immediately picked up their spears and continued to fight back.

Zhao Yu, who was sleeping in armor, came to the main tent and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, it's bad, someone attacked the camp."

Chu Ning came out of the camp and looked at the white horse cavalrymen who were holding shields to resist, frowning and said:

"Who dares to attack me?"

"It's hard to say. The opponents are all experts, and we have been surrounded!" Zhao Yu's face looked a little ugly.

"How many people are there on the other side?" Chu Ning asked with a raised eyebrow.

Zhao Yu shook his head: "It's too dark, and the other party hasn't shown up, but they are everywhere, so there must be quite a few of them!

The enemy has bows and arrows, we cannot defeat them, I suggest we rush into the mountains immediately."

The powerful aura around him made Zhao Yu dare not be careless. Moreover, there were not many people on their side, and he didn't know how many people the other side had.

The best way is to get out first, hide in the mountains, and make a decision after figuring out the situation.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning looked up at the situation around him and realized that the only way to break out was to head up the mountain.

As long as we enter the mountains, the enemy's archers will be useless.

"Send the order, retreat to the mountains immediately!"

Chu Ning was not a hesitant person. He made a prompt decision and, under the cover of Zhao Yu, the white horse cavalry rushed into the mountains.

But at this moment, many men in black suddenly appeared in the woods, holding scimitars and sharp blades, and rushed towards Chu Ning frantically.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap. They have an ambush in the mountains!"

Zhao Yu was shocked: "Protect His Highness!"

After saying that, he dropped the spear in his hand, drew the sword from his waist, and knocked away a man in black who was rushing towards him with one sword.

In the mountains, his spear was useless and he could only use his sword.

Chu Ning on the side also chose to discard his spear and replaced it with a sword. He and Zhao Yu stood on the left and right, leading their men to kill into the forest.

They didn't know that there were many enemies outside and their retreat had been cut off, so they could only keep killing their way into the mountains and forests.

One was a top-notch master, the other was a first-rate master. The two cooperated seamlessly and in a short time, they killed the men in black one after another.

But just when they thought they could break out, a ghostly figure suddenly fell from a big tree, and rushed straight towards Chu Ning with a sword in his hand.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Zhao Yu was shocked and realized that the person coming was very powerful. He pushed Chu Ning away and blocked the attack with the sword in his hand!

"Qiang!"

He did block it, but the man snorted coldly, swung the sword in his hand, and slashed it across Zhao Yu's chest.

Amidst a burst of sparks, the man kicked Zhao Yu away.

“Uh…Pfft…”

The sharp sword could not cut through Zhao Yu's armor, but the kick injured his internal organs!

"A top-notch expert!"

Zhao Yu was shocked and quickly suppressed his injuries. He came to Chu Ning and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, be careful. This person is good at swordsmanship. He should be the legendary Sword Saint Gaine of Qin State!"

Chu Ning's eyes turned cold: "How is your injury?"

“No…no problem!”

Although he was said to be fine, Chu Ning could already see that Zhao Yu had internal injuries.

Turning to look at the man in black, Chu Ning's eyes flashed with anger: "You will pay the price with your life for hurting my beloved general!"

Gaine looked indifferent and said calmly: "Show your skills, otherwise, die!"

Chu Ning snorted coldly, spun around, and thrust out with the sword in his hand.

But Gaine's figure flashed and disappeared in front of Chu Ning. When he appeared again, he was already behind Chu Ning.

With a flash of cold light, the sharp sword went straight to the back of Chu Ning's head from behind.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Zhao Yu, who was behind, saw that Gaine's body movement and swordsmanship were so powerful, so he quickly stepped forward with his sword to help.

"Qiang~Qiang~Qiang"

Gaine used three consecutive sword strikes, which were fast, accurate and ruthless, and actually made the injured Zhao Yu retreat again and again.

Fortunately, Chu Ning stepped forward to help and forced him back with a sword.

But at this time, the men in black around them also rushed up and wanted to surround and kill them.

But the White Horse Cavalry were not idle either. They fought desperately to hold back the black-clad men around them and prevent them from helping Gaine.

"Your Highness, this man is very powerful, break out quickly!"

Zhao Yu steadied himself and quickly suggested a breakout.

If he were in a period of complete victory, holding a spear, he might not be afraid of Gaine.

But now he was injured, and his weapon was not suitable for him. The geographical environment here was also very favorable to Gaine, and he did not want Chu Ning to have an accident.

The best thing to do now is to retreat!

After three moves with Gaine, Chu Ning knew he was no match for this man. Upon hearing Zhao Yu's suggestion, he immediately followed the trend and shouted loudly:

"Retreat to the mountains!"

He couldn't win, and he didn't know how many people were on the other side, so he could only lead his men to break out.

Gaine snorted coldly and led his men in pursuit. The two sides, one chasing and one fleeing, soon entered the forest.

At this time, the sky gradually brightened, red clouds rose in the sky, and the vision gradually became clearer.

"Sir, it's getting light, we can't chase them anymore!" suggested a Black Ice Platform master.

Gaine glanced at the fifty-odd people behind him, his face somewhat gloomy.

If Chu Ning had not killed the master of Black Ice Platform last time, he would have brought more people here to assassinate Chu Ning this time.

But because Chu Ning designed to wipe out most of the masters of the Black Ice Platform last time, he can only mobilize these people now.

Last night he deliberately created confusion, making Chu Ning think that he had many people on his side, which made Chu Ning want to break out.

But now it was bright outside, and if he continued chasing, his true military strength would be exposed.

However, his goal has been achieved!

Although they did not kill Chu Ning, they forced Chu Ning into the mountains. They only needed to defend the foot of the mountain.

"Notify His Majesty and the General that Chu Ning has been forced into the mountains!"

Gaine put the sword back into the scabbard and said in a deep voice: "Everyone retreat to the foot of the mountain!"
