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

Chapter 171 See through the tough Feng Mulan!

At the gate of Kyoto City, flags were waving, and there were crowds of people, making it extremely lively.

The people wanted to catch a glimpse of the King of Chu and see if he was as arrogant and domineering as the rumors said.

Twelve dragon flags were erected, fluttering in the cold wind, making rustling sounds.

The triumphal music played by the musicians was very passionate. It was carried far away by the wind and made people feel excited.

Zhao Ming, the chief eunuch around the prince, was very helpless.

He didn't want to take sides between the two princes, but he didn't dare to remind Chu Ning after the prince's warning.

Zhao Ming's eyes flashed, and he immediately came up with an idea. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. Since I am here on behalf of Your Majesty, I will naturally be careful with my words and actions."

"That's good!"

The prince withdrew his warning look with satisfaction and a smile of victory appeared on his face.

As long as Zhao Ming didn't remind him, how could Chu Ning, an illegitimate son, notice that there was something wrong with the dragon flag and the music?

Once this matter gets out, Chu Ning will be labeled as arrogant and domineering, which will also be beneficial to Ling Haoran's subsequent interrogation.

Looking at the warhorse getting closer and closer, the prince raised the corner of his mouth slightly and showed a sneer.

Who gave you the courage to kill my people?

This time, Chu Ning must pay the price for it.

Still want to marry Shen Wanying?

Humph, just wait, I will let Ling Haoran keep causing trouble for you so that you will have no time to deal with your marriage.

By then, Shen Wanying might come to me for help.

I will definitely taste Shen Wanying’s first time!

Thinking of Shen Wanying's stunningly beautiful face, and then thinking of the scene where his own Crown Princess was taken advantage of by Chu Ning, a rage of revenge flashed through the Crown Prince's heart.

At this moment, Chu Ning, who was riding a horse in the distance, heard the sound of drums and music, and couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that my father has arranged a grand welcoming ceremony for me, but I don't know who will go out of the city to welcome me."

As he was speaking, Liu Shouren next to him was counting the flags that appeared in his field of vision with a serious expression.

When he discovered that there were twelve dragon flags, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

If you listen to the sound more carefully, it is clearly the triumphal music used by the emperor.

Oh no, someone is plotting against Your Highness!

Liu Shouren reacted and said quickly: "Your Highness, something is wrong. The twelve dragon flags are for your majesty to use, and this triumphal music is also for your majesty's exclusive use."

Feng Mulan rolled her eyes as soon as he heard this: "It's just a few flags and drums, why is Lord Liu so nervous?"

Chu Ning also turned to look at Liu Shouren with curiosity and asked, "Master Liu, why don't you tell me in detail?"

One of these two people was born in the common people, and the other was born in Kyoto, but she was a girl. She was usually careless and did not pay attention to etiquette at all.

Liu Shouren smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, this is something that His Majesty uses exclusively. How can others use it so easily?"

"Is it that serious?" Feng Mulan's face was still full of doubt.

Liu Shouren sighed: "Miss Feng, this is like the dragon robe that His Majesty wears. Do others dare to wear it?"

Feng Mulan curled her lips and stopped talking.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

If I really told Liu Shouren such a serious situation, I definitely cannot enter the city at this time, otherwise I will definitely be reported to my father!

"Zhao Yu, go and inform the people who are coming to greet me. Ask them to welcome me according to the normal standards. Use fewer dragon flags and change the drums and music!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yu responded, waved his hand to signal the team to stop, and rushed to the city gate alone.

A moment later, Zhao Yu rode his horse up to the crowd and saw that the Crown Prince, a group of princes, and all the civil and military officials were present, even the eunuch chief Zhao Ming was there. His face changed slightly and he immediately dismounted.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, princes and gentlemen!" Zhao Yu bowed to everyone.

The prince laughed, patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "General Zhao, there is no need to be polite. You have made great contributions in this battle. It is our dynasty that is attacking the city!"

After a pause, the prince looked behind Zhao Yu and asked in confusion, "I wonder why my eighteenth brother stayed so far away. Could it be that he thinks I am not polite enough?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he stood on the moral high ground and directly put a hat on Chu Ning.

The people around who didn't know what was going on started pointing and talking.

"The King of Chu is not really so arrogant, right?"

"The prince's etiquette is reasonable enough, why doesn't the King of Chu enter the city?"

"It seems that the rumors are true. The King of Chu is so arrogant because of his power!"

For a moment, everyone's favorable impression of Chu Ning plummeted.

This scene made the prince's mouth curl up slightly and reveal a sneer.

Zhao Yu noticed that the people's reaction was not right, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you are too serious. The King of Chu thinks that the twelve dragon flags are too many, and the triumphal music is not what the King of Chu dares to use.

The King of Chu asked me to come here first because he wanted to ask His Royal Highness to lower the dragon flag, change the drums and music, and welcome the King of Chu according to the normal standards. "

After these words were spoken, the people around them suddenly realized what was going on.

"It turns out that the twelve dragon flags are only used by His Majesty!"

"I have heard this drum music before when Your Majesty entered the city. I believe it is something that only Your Majesty can use."

"If that's the case, then the King of Chu really can't use your majesty's rules to enter the city."

"The King of Chu is very polite. If he hadn't noticed these, he would have been reported to the Censor-in-Chief."

Everyone who originally thought that the prince's words were a misunderstanding of Chu Ning suddenly understood.

The prince's expression changed immediately.

How could this guy Chu Ning know all this?

Was it Zhao Yu who reminded him?

It's impossible. Zhao Yu is just a warrior. How could he understand these etiquettes?

Was it Feng Mulan who reminded him?

That's even more impossible. That crazy woman only knows how to brandish swords and guns all day long. She has no knowledge of etiquette at all. She has a pretty face for nothing!

Just as the prince was lost in thought, the eunuch chief Zhao Ming's eyes lit up.

I didn't dare to remind you just now because it was a warning from the prince.

But now the prince's plan has been discovered by Chu Ning, so why not do Chu Ning a favor now?

Zhao Ming chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knew all this. In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did this to show the court's attention to the Prince of Chu.

Since His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu wants to enter the city with ordinary standards, that's great. I'm sure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't refuse, right?"

Take the opportunity to give the prince a way out and not offend either side!

The prince reacted and laughed, "Manager Zhao is right. Since Brother Eighteen wants to keep things simple, I will certainly not refuse!

Come on, lower the dragon flag halfway and replace it with Qingle! "

At the command, the surrounding soldiers immediately lowered the six dragon flags and the musicians changed to another piece of music.

Chu Ning in the distance noticed that the dragon flag had dropped halfway, and then he nodded slightly: "It seems that Zhao Yu has already negotiated, everyone follow me into the city!"

At the command, they rode slowly towards the city gate.

The prince looked at the cavalrymen who were getting closer and closer, and his anger grew stronger and stronger.

However, when the prince thought about meeting Chu Ning soon, a cold look appeared on his face.

Entering the city?

Humph, how could I let you enter the city so easily!
