Chapter 839 Death of the 6th Prince
"Sue this king?"
The third prince looked coldly at the sixth prince holding a sword, with murderous intent on his face.
"Humph, you searched for and trained assassins, built armor, assassinated my father, and even killed the Empress. Such a heinous crime deserves death!"
"Now, I will give you a chance. Put down the sword immediately, or you will not blame me for being ruthless."
Facing the lonely Sixth Prince, the Third Prince did not give him any chance at all.
Now that the fighting has begun, there is no room for easing for either side.
Next, if the Sixth Prince still resists to the end, there will be only one outcome.
"Okay, okay, I want to see how ruthless you are!"
The Sixth Prince was not afraid at all. He spun around and took the initiative to kill the soldiers of the city defense camp around him.
Relying on his status as a prince, the Sixth Prince wielded his sword as swiftly as a dragon, and with his swing, he actually defeated the soldiers of the city defense camp.
Born into an imperial family, the Sixth Prince practiced martial arts since childhood and was a first-rate master. When facing the soldiers of the city defense camp who did not dare to use their full strength, it was like cutting melons and vegetables for him.
This scene brought a cold look to the Third Prince's face.
"Humph, since you don't know how to live or die, there is no need for me to hold back!"
The Third Prince waved his hand and said, "Catch him. If anything goes wrong, I will take the responsibility!"
With the third prince's guarantee, the soldiers of the city defense camp had no fear anymore and rushed forward waving their spears.
Even though the Sixth Prince was brave and powerful, he was only one person after all. After consuming a lot of physical strength, his fighting power dropped sharply.
Soon, the Sixth Prince was beaten left and right by the soldiers of the City Defense Battalion and was unable to fight back.
If he continues like this, he will become a prisoner.
Realizing that something was wrong, the Sixth Prince's eyes turned cold, and he made up his mind. He spun around suddenly, summoning his inner strength, and suddenly attacked the dozen or so soldiers from the city defense camp in front of him!
The powerful force instantly swept the dozen people away, and then the Sixth Prince's body rushed towards the Third Prince.
Capture the thief first and capture the king!
As long as the third prince is captured, others will be afraid to take action.
"Your Highness, be careful!" the soldiers of the city defense camp shouted and hurriedly chased after him.
But the Sixth Prince was so fast that he rushed in front of the Third Prince in the blink of an eye.
The flashing cold light actually caused the air flow to rotate, and the cold rays blocked all the retreat routes of the Third Prince.
The third prince, who had no guards in front of him, was not panicked at all. He narrowed his eyes, and his aura suddenly shook. He flashed and actually dodged from the sword light.
Then, the sharp sword was unsheathed, and with a clanging sound, it swept towards the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince was startled and quickly swung his sword to block, but he heard a clang and his body was hit hard, and he was knocked back several steps.
"Uh……"
With a muffled groan, the Sixth Prince felt a burning sensation in his chest, as if he had suffered internal injuries.
"Humph!"
The Sixth Prince refused to accept the defeat. He knew that the Third Prince was about as strong as he was, and the reason he couldn't defeat him was simply because he had exhausted his physical strength.
As long as we seize the opportunity, we can still capture the third prince.
With a cold snort, the Sixth Prince continued to rush forward.
The third prince had a calm expression on his face, but murderous intent flashed in his eyes. The sword in his hand twirled and he attacked without mercy.
For a while, there were constant clanging sounds and the fight was extremely intense.
At this time, Chu Ning, who received the news, rode his horse to the Sixth Prince's mansion.
The pungent smell of blood made Chu Ning's face change slightly. Looking at the corpses on the ground, he frowned and asked:
"Why is this happening? Why are the Imperial Guards here as well?"
General Deng, who was in charge of guarding outside, stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. The Sixth Prince was unwilling to go back to the Ministry of Justice with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and he also sent people to attack our city defense camp.
The Third Prince could no longer tolerate this and gave the order to take action. However, he did not expect that the people in the Sixth Prince's mansion were very powerful and our city defense camp suffered heavy losses.
For this reason, the Third Prince once again mobilized the city defense camp to assist, and also reported this to His Majesty, who was furious and immediately sent the Imperial Guards here."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning's face changed slightly.
The emperor sent the imperial guards to capture the sixth prince.
In this way, the emperor determined that the Sixth Prince was the mastermind behind yesterday's assassination.
In other words, the emperor has believed what the third prince said.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning frowned: "Where are the third brother and the sixth brother now?"
General Deng glanced inside the palace and whispered, "The Third Prince has led his men inside."
Chu Ning's face changed slightly, and he immediately got off the horse: "I want to go in and take a look!"
After saying this, he quickly walked into the house.
General Deng hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand to stop him, with an embarrassed look on his face: "Your Highness, Prince of Chu, please don't embarrass me. Without the order of Your Highness, I dare not let you in.
How about this, I will send someone in to report, and if His Majesty the Third Prince allows, I will not stop you."
Chu Ning's eyes turned cold, and his aura suddenly exploded: "Get out of here!"
The powerful momentum caught General Deng off guard and he took several steps back.
But even so, General Deng gritted his teeth and shouted, "Someone come!"
The imperial guards waved their spears to block Chu Ning's way.
The white horse cavalrymen who came with Chu Ning were immediately furious and pointed their weapons at the imperial guards.
For a time, the two sides were at war with each other.
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, stared at General Deng, and sneered, "How dare you block my way, do you want to die?
If something happens to Sixth Brother, do you think Father will make things difficult for Third Brother, or will he use you as a scapegoat?"
General Deng did not take the first sentence to heart. After all, he was just following orders.
But after hearing the last sentence, General Deng suddenly panicked.
If the Sixth Prince really died in there, and the prince wanted to find someone to be held responsible for it, it would definitely be him.
While deep in thought, Chu Ning strode towards the gate of the mansion.
General Deng gritted his teeth and struggled internally.
On the one hand, he did not dare to disobey the orders of the Third Prince, and on the other hand, he did not dare to completely offend Chu Ning.
More importantly, he didn't want to be a scapegoat.
While he was deep in thought, Chu Ning had already passed him and arrived at the palace.
The imperial guards beside him whispered, "General Deng, do you still want to stop us?"
General Deng's mouth twitched, he glanced at the aggressive White Horse Cavalry outside, and finally shook his head.
If a real fight breaks out, they may not be a match for the White Horse Cavalry, and he will definitely offend Chu Ning.
For the sake of his own life, he didn't dare to do it.
At this time, Chu Ning rushed into the mansion. The soldiers of the city defense camp guarding inside all recognized him. They bowed and saluted, not daring to stop him.
Soon, Chu Ning arrived at the backyard and saw the third prince and the sixth prince fighting fiercely.
"My two brothers, why do you have to do this?"
Chu Ning shouted and immediately rushed over, trying to stop the two men.
But when the Third Prince heard this, his eyes narrowed and a hint of cruelty flashed across them.
Then, he swung the sword in his hand and went straight to the Sixth Prince's chest without caring about the Sixth Prince's supply.
"Puff~Puff~"
The two men stabbed each other with their swords.
However, the Sixth Prince's sword only stabbed the Third Prince's shoulder.
The third prince's sword pierced the sixth prince's heart!
When Chu Ning arrived, he just saw the Sixth Prince fall down.
