King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 199 Assassination of Zhu Gaoxu and Attack

Ying Tianfu.

In the silent night sky, a full moon hung diagonally above the sky. The silver-gray moonlight shone down, covering the simple and solemn ancient city with a layer of military uniform, making it look particularly solemn.

Ta Ta Ta.

On the broad street, the crisp sound of horse hooves filled the night sky.

The driver in this party was none other than Zhu Gaoxu, who had just discussed things with Zhu Di in the palace and returned to the Han Dynasty palace.

In the luxurious car, Zhu Gaoxu half-squinted his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Just at this moment, everything was normal, and the right eyelid of his eyes trembled and trembled for an instant. Due to the sudden change, Zhu Gaoxu, who had half-squinted his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes. As his right eyelid trembled more and more violently, something in his heart began to move. A hint of panic, panic, and heart palpitations emerged.

Call.

At the same time, the slave girl who was waving her whip and driving the carriage forward suddenly let out a loud shout and pulled the reins tightly in her hands, and the sound of the galloping horse's neighing suddenly sounded.

The slave's expression was solemn, and her eyes were half-closed as she looked around at the surroundings from time to time. Her expression became serious unconsciously, and she turned towards the closed door curtain and shouted in a deep voice:

"My lord."

"There seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere on the street tonight."

The slave driving the car tightened the reins in his hands and turned around to leave without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu's order in the carriage.

"Go back the way we came, towards the palace."

"Hurry up"

The swords on the waists of the guards were unsheathed in an instant, and at the same time they shouted at the slaves driving at the top of their lungs:

“And the further you go deeper into the street, the more this feeling becomes.”

Bang bang bang.

While speaking, a group of guards waved their swords to resist the sharp arrows flying from a distance. The war horses under their crotches were wounded by the sharp arrows. The pained horses neighed in fright and raised their high hooves in an attempt to run away. .

"Drive and take the prince away from this place of right and wrong."

Boo hoo hoo.

In the silent street, the closed windows on the second floor were pushed open instantly, and sharp arrows pierced the night sky in the darkness, flying straight towards the group of them.

While speaking, the slave looked at the four guards who were following him, and gave them a questioning look, wanting to see if these people felt this way, or if he was the only one who felt this way.

"After I wait, remember not to let these thieves hurt the prince."

Several people were shaken, as if they thought of something, their hearts thumped, and they exchanged glances with each other.

After that, everyone's eyes looked towards the end of the dark street, as if there was a man-eating terrifying monster, waiting for them with its bloody mouth open.

The few people looked at each other and nodded involuntarily. Although they didn't say anything, they undoubtedly felt that each other felt this way.

It’s no wonder these people are so cautious. After all, they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. They are all people who have crawled out of the dead. They have an extraordinary ability to perceive danger. They know what is happening in front of them. But what a sign this is.

Wait until the carriage has just turned around.

The voice just fell.

From the tightly closed car curtain, Zhu Gaoxu's urgent command voice came out, and he shouted:

"retreat"

"It's going to be dangerous."

Everything happens in a flash of lightning.

"Escort."

"I don't know why, as soon as I come to this street, I always feel a little nervous and uneasy, and my right eyelid starts to beat for some reason."

But fortunately, these people are all veterans of horse riding.

One person quickly tightened the reins in his hands, controlled the horse under his crotch, and at the same time resisted the flying arrow blades.

The injured horses neighed and jumped for a moment, each one seemed to be deflated, and white foam could not help but spit out from the corners of their mouths.

Afterwards, as if his energy and energy had been drained, his body suddenly fell limp to the ground, twitching and whining non-stop.

"grass!"

"Everyone, be careful, these thieves are too cruel." "The flying arrow blades are all coated with poison. Don't let the arrow blades get close."

The guards who reacted quickly retreated and shouted loudly.

"Hurry up"

"Quickly, take the prince out of here."

"Stay away from the range of the arrow blade."

At the same time, the guards who were injured by their horses immediately abandoned their horses that fell limply to the ground, and quickly stood in a row, blocking the carriage behind them.

One of the guards took out the signal egg from his arms, pointed it straight at the dark night sky, and pulled the fuse in his hand.

call out.

A tongue of fire rushed up with lightning speed, a loud bang exploded in the sky, and a strangely shaped and brilliant firework burst out, instantly lighting up the dark night sky.

The carriage that had just run a few meters away heard the harsh sound of several arrow blades cutting through the air directly in front of them, hitting the galloping horses accurately.

When the slave in charge of driving the carriage saw this, he tightened the reins in his hand with one hand and held a knife in the other to resist the rain of arrows shot from the curtain of the carriage. He looked extremely solemn and said loudly:

"Your Majesty!"

"There were arrows from thieves before and after. They all occupied favorable positions."

"Faced with the rain of arrows coated with poison, we may not be able to rush out."

"For the current plan, we can only ask the prince to get out of the car and let's go into an attic."

"Fight and retreat, waiting for reinforcements to arrive."

"The signal flare has just been launched. I don't think it would take half a cup of tea before reinforcements would arrive..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu interrupted him and shouted angrily:

"Calm down the horse still has some energy left, so move the carriage to the edge."

"Come two people and kick open the closed door for me."

"Let's go into a private house."

While speaking, Zhu Gaoxu had already held a big knife in his hand at some point, opened the closed curtain, "bang bang bang" withstood several arrows, and then jumped out of the carriage without any hesitation.

He called the crowd to run towards the private house whose door had been violently torn down by the guards.

After several people entered, some of the accompanying guards searched the quiet room to eliminate hidden dangers, while others overturned the wooden table in the room and used it to block the door that had been violently destroyed in an attempt to stop the incoming arrow rain. .

Although the number of people is small, they all perform their duties and do not need any command at all. They are all instinctive reactions over many years.

blah blah blah...

Just at this moment, in the silent night sky, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps, rushing towards the hiding place of Zhu Gaoxu and others to attack and kill:

"kill…"

"Kill!"

"Run it for me..."

As the footsteps got closer and closer, everyone in the room subconsciously tightened the hilts of their knives, and a dignified, bloodthirsty killing intent flashed across their faces.

"My lord, please step back."

"Don't let the blood of these thieves stain your clothes."

"We will definitely protect Prince Zhou Quan to the death."

"These thieves can't even think of hurting the prince at all."
