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

Chapter 1157 Kill until you say so!

"Will I definitely die if I jump into the river?"

Zhao Yu had a strange look on his face and couldn't help but ask.

Wu Yue laughed wildly and sneered: "Humph, how can a three-year-old child survive if he jumps into such a flowing river?"

But Zhao Yu shook his head and suddenly chuckled: "If you really think Princess Xiuning is dead, why did you fall into the trap of my highness now?"

The smile on Wu Yue's face suddenly disappeared.

"After all, you still think there's hope for her survival, don't you?"

Zhao Yu said with a mocking look on his face: "Is this the clue you wanted to tell me? Humph, this is really ridiculous."

"Come here, arrest them all and take them to the county government office for interrogation by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

He didn't want to waste any more time talking to this person and just wanted to take him in for interrogation as soon as possible.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the assassins have no trace of Wu Xiuning, which makes it very likely that Wu Xiuning is alive.

Next, we just need to unravel the mystery and we will definitely find Wu Xiuning!

At a command, the white horse cavalry escorted the group of assassins to the county government office.

In the county government office, Chu Ning was still identifying the children who had been sent there.

The only difference from the beginning was that Chu Ning was no longer as irritable as he was at the beginning.

From the beginning, he was deliberately acting aggressive to confuse the assassin.

He knew very well that if Wu Xiuning was really here, then the assassin must be here too.

However, it is not easy to lure out these assassins, so he came up with this idea at this time.

The news was leaked deliberately, and the assassin would definitely take action if Wu Xiuning's child was on the way to the county government office.

Of course, there are many white horse cavalry, garrison troops, yamen runners and people from noble families in the city now, so the assassin may not dare to act.

That was why he flew into a rage in the county government office, causing chaos among the people below, and probably also dispersing the troops to create opportunities for the assassin.

But secretly, he asked Zhao Yu to lead the white horse cavalry to hide on the road leading to the county government office.

While he was deep in thought, Zhao Yu came over quickly: "Your Highness, there is a result!"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and waved his hand to signal everyone else at the scene to leave. Only then did he let Zhao Yu tell him what had just happened.

Hearing that the assassin thought Wu Xiuning would definitely die if she jumped into the river, Chu Ning couldn't help but sneer:

"If it were anywhere else, he would have certainly died, but in the water, even an adult man can't swim faster than Xiuning!"

When he was in the State of Chu, Wu Xiuning revealed that he had loved water since he was a child, and when he was two years old, he was already like a fish in the water.

In the water, Wu Xiuning was as slippery as a loach.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning snorted coldly: "Bring the assassin up!"

At a command, the white horse soldiers outside escorted all the assassins into the hall.

"Kneel down!" The white horse soldiers kicked the assassins' knees, making all of them kneel on the ground.

Chu Ning glanced at them coldly, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and asked indifferently:

"Who is behind this?"

Wu Yue, the leader, sneered: "Do you think we will tell you?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, glanced at the man, then pointed at an assassin beside him and said coldly:

"killed!"

"Crack~" The soldier on white horse behind him drew out the sword from his waist and cut off the man's head with one blow.

Blood spurted out and splashed all over Wu Yue's face.

Suddenly there was blood, and Wu Yue was so frightened that his face turned very ugly.

Although he was an assassin and was ready to die for his country at any time, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent when he saw his companions being killed in front of him.

But being stubborn by nature, he gritted his teeth and tried hard to calm his inner anger.

At this moment, Chu Ning asked again: "Who is the mastermind behind this?"

Wu Yue stared at Chu Ning, his eyes blazing with anger, and said fiercely: "Kill me if you have the guts!"

Chu Ning sneered, pointed at another person beside him, and said slowly: "Kill him!"

"Click~"

The head fell to the ground again, and blood splattered on Wu Yue's face, making him look extremely hideous.

"I don't want to waste time talking. Every ten breaths, I will kill one person until you say so!"

As Chu Ning spoke, he pointed at another person and said calmly, "Kill him!"

"Don't... don't kill me!"

The assassin said in panic, "I say, I say, I only ask the Crown Prince of Chu to give me a chance to live."

Wu Yue was furious when he heard this: "Wang Er, how dare you betray your master!"

Wang Er was filled with fear: "Master Wu, I have a family now, I cannot die!"

"You bastard!"

Wu Yue was so angry that he yelled, "You disobeyed the master and dared to marry in secret. If the master knew about this, your wife would not survive either!"

But Wang Er's face was full of bitterness: "Now that we have been captured, we should think about how to save ourselves."

"To protect yourself?"

Wu Yue sneered: "Do you really think Chu Ning will let you go?"

Wang Er was stunned and turned to look at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning said indifferently: "I will not let you leave alive, but I can give you a complete body so that you can have a chance of reincarnation."

This world values keeping the body intact. If one is dismembered, there is no chance of reincarnation.

Therefore, many people are afraid of the body being separated!

Wang Er's face changed when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "We are from the Black Ice Platform of Qin!"

Wu Yue was furious when he heard this: "Traitor!"

No one knew where this person got the strength from, but he suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Wang Er.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Kill them all and leave Wang Er with an intact body."

At the command, the white horse soldiers drew their swords.

Along with screams, in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen heads appeared at the scene.

Chu Ning stared coldly at the head at the scene, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

It’s the Black Ice Terrace again!

The Qin State is still haunting!

Thinking of this, Chu Ning snorted coldly: "Black Ice Platform, it seems that after I wiped out most of the masters last time, he has rested for more than a year and is now making a comeback."

"It's just right. I will take this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Order these heads to be hung at the city gate for public display!"

"Also, have the local garrison, yamen runners, and people from the noble families go out of the city to search for him. Don't let any of the surrounding villages go!"

He knew very well that if Wu Xiuning really jumped into the river, he would most likely not enter the city.

According to common sense, the safest option is to go into the city and seek protection from soldiers.

But Wu Xiuning had seen how powerful the masters of the Black Ice Platform were, and even the imperial guards of the Great Zhou were no match for them. Going into the city to find soldiers might not be able to protect their safety.

To be on the safe side, they should do the opposite and get out of the water halfway and hide in the surrounding villages.

Therefore, the best strategy now is to look for it in the villages outside the city.

Zhao Yu finally reacted after hearing this, and a look of joy appeared on his face: "Your Highness is wise, I will send them out of the city to search for them right away."

But at this moment, a cavalryman on a white horse rushed into the hall in panic.

"Your Highness, someone is looking for you outside!"
