Chapter 861: Death of the 5th Prince
The appearance of the shadow guard startled the fifth prince.
He felt that these people were soldiers secretly trained by the Third Prince.
But at this moment, the third prince was also dumbfounded.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the troops, he stood there at a loss as to what to do.
Who will come to save him at this time?
While deep in thought, the shadow guard brandished his weapon and attacked the guards around the fifth prince.
Even though the palace guards are extremely skilled in martial arts, they are no match for the shadow guards even in a one-on-one situation, not to mention that the shadow guards have the advantage in numbers.
In just a blink of an eye, there were only seven or eight people left by the Fifth Prince.
This scene made the Third Prince laugh wildly: "Hahahaha, Fifth Brother, who will win tonight is still unknown!"
The fifth prince had a gloomy face and remained silent. Under the protection of the guards, he kept retreating.
Since you can't win, you can only run away.
But at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard on the street behind him.
Turning around, he saw that it was the troops from Sizhou rushing over.
"It's over, it's completely over!" The fifth prince felt a chill in his heart and his face turned ashen.
At this time, the Third Prince also saw Fang Liangping, who was leading the group, and could not help but feel overjoyed: "General Fang, you came at the right time!"
"Quick, surround them quickly and don't let anyone escape!"
The third prince pointed at the fifth prince and others and shouted.
Fang Liangping was eager to make a contribution, so he immediately ordered the Sizhou troops to surround the Fifth Prince and others.
As for the shadow guards, they immediately withdrew after Fang Liangping gave the order.
Fang Liangping came to the Third Prince with a surprised look on his face and asked, "Your Highness, who are these people?"
The Third Prince narrowed his eyes, revealing an unfathomable look: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. When the time is right, I will tell you."
Could this be the troops secretly trained by the Third Prince?
Fang Liangping suddenly realized what was going on and quickly bowed and apologized: "It is my fault for being rude."
The Third Prince shook his head; "Alright, let's talk about Chu Ning's situation."
"Your Highness, the King of Chu was shot by an arrow and his life or death is unknown. Zhao Yu arrived with Bingzhou troops. I was worried about your safety and did not have a conflict with him. I rushed here as soon as possible."
"You did very well!"
The Third Prince laughed loudly: "This battle is a success, and you are the first to achieve the credit."
Fang Liangping was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness, but how do you deal with the Fifth Prince?"
After all, he is a prince, and Fang Liangping dare not deal with it on his own without permission.
The Third Prince narrowed his eyes, turned to look at the Fifth Prince, and sneered, "Fifth brother, where is your arrogance just now?"
The wounds on his body were still hurting, and he wanted to humiliate the other person severely before killing Lao Wu.
The Fifth Prince was furious and unwilling, with a look of anger on his face: "Third brother, are you really going to kill us all?"
"Hahahaha~"
The Third Prince laughed wildly: "If I said the same thing to you just now, Fifth Brother, would you let me go?"
"Fifth brother, you were the first to strike tonight, so don't blame me for being merciless."
"Someone come, kill them!"
At the command, the Sizhou soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers.
Anyway, they have already "killed" a King of Chu tonight, so what would it matter if they killed another prince?
As long as they can help the Third Prince become the Crown Prince, they will be heroes!
Who doesn’t want to make great achievements?
Who doesn’t want to get promoted and make money?
At this moment, the desires in everyone's hearts were infinitely magnified, and they wanted to immediately place the Fifth Prince's head in front of the Third Prince.
Suddenly, shouts of killing shook the sky and countless weapons fell.
Although the Fifth Prince and the guards around him fought back fiercely, two fists are no match for four hands. In addition, due to the terrain restrictions on the street, they had no way to escape.
In just a blink of an eye, all the guards were killed, and even the fifth prince himself was shot several times.
Blood trickled down his wounds, his strength was draining away, and his vision was beginning to blur.
The fifth prince knew that he would die here today.
Looking at the Third Prince with a sneer on his face in the distance, he felt unwilling. If he died here, it would only benefit the Third Prince.
"Do you think... that if you kill me, you will win?"
The fifth prince stared at the third prince and sneered, "There are so many prince brothers. If I die, they will also stop you from becoming the crown prince!"
"A tactic of sowing discord? A tactic of provoking the enemy?"
The Third Prince laughed and said, "I know you want to provoke me with these words, but it's a pity that you don't understand my mind at all.
No matter who it is, if anyone dares to stop me from becoming the crown prince, his fate will be the same as yours.
Just go with peace of mind. I will take care of the rest. You don't need to worry about it."
But just as he finished speaking, the Fifth Prince suddenly opened his eyes, spun around, and ran straight towards the Third Prince.
"Humph, I am stubborn and unyielding!"
The third prince sneered, without moving his body or feet, and just stood there.
Fang Liangping, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his face, and then he suddenly swung out with the long sword in his hand.
"Qiang!"
Although the Fifth Prince waved his sword to resist, the powerful force still knocked him away.
Fang Liangping took the opportunity to leap up and rushed towards the Fifth Prince. Before he landed on the ground, he pierced his body with a knife.
"Pfft~"
The fifth prince spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at Fang Liangping in front of him, with the sword raised in his right hand, as if he wanted to swing the sword for the last time.
However, his gradually blurred vision and disappearing strength caused his right hand to drop suddenly, and the sword fell to the ground.
His head tilted and he died.
Fang Liangping snorted coldly, drew out his long sword, and let the fifth prince's body fall to the ground with a loud bang.
"Third Prince, where should we start next?"
Now that the relationship has been broken, there is certainly no reason to stop. Both sides have no choice but to continue fighting.
The Third Prince's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of murderous intent: "Next, of course we have to go to the Prince of Chu's Palace. Regardless of whether Eighteenth Brother is dead or not, the Prince of Chu's Palace must be demolished!"
In fact, he was still a little worried.
Chu Ning was too cunning. He would not feel at ease unless he saw Chu Ning's body with his own eyes.
Fang Liangping certainly understood the Third Prince's concerns, and nodded immediately upon hearing this: "Your Highness is right. If we destroy the Prince Chu's Mansion first, we can also deter the other princes!"
He even thoughtfully found excuses for the third prince.
The Third Prince looked at Fang Liangping with great satisfaction and laughed, "General Fang is indeed a pillar of talent. Don't worry, after the matter is accomplished, I will fulfill my promise and appoint you as the Minister of War!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"lets go!"
"Someone, come and head to the Prince of Chu's Palace immediately!"
At the command, everyone gathered and headed straight for the Prince of Chu's palace.
But to get to the Prince of Chu's Palace from here, one has to pass through a street, and at this moment, a fierce battle is taking place on this street.
The Ninth Prince looked at the Sizhou and Bingzhou troops fighting fiercely not far away, with a smug look on his face.
He just waits for both sides to suffer losses so that he can reap the benefits.
But at this moment, the third prince came here with his troops, and the two sides met unexpectedly.
"Your Highness, it's bad. The third prince is coming here with his troops!" a soldier immediately reported.
The Ninth Prince's face changed drastically when he heard this. Without time to think, he immediately ordered: "Help the Bingzhou troops to deal with the Sizhou troops!"
He wanted to destroy this group of Sizhou troops before the Third Prince arrived.
Only in this way can he gain the advantage in numbers.
After all, Chu Ning was shot by an arrow and his life or death was unknown. The Third Prince would definitely take advantage of the victory to hunt them down.
Therefore, he can only strike first!
