Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 399: They dared to do something tricky right under the nose of the Ming capital. They must be prevented from returning.
In the tenth year of Hongwu, Yingtian City was prosperous and bustling.

But behind this prosperity, there seems to be a surging undercurrent.

In the palace of Prince Jin.

Zhu Gang stood with his hands behind his back, his face solemn.

Seeing this, the confidant Fang Wenyao hurriedly bowed and asked softly, "Your Highness, are you worried about the jewels?"

Zhu Gang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "It is really difficult to implement this jewelry policy.

But this matter concerns the economy and people's livelihood of the Ming Dynasty, and it must not be abandoned halfway."

Fang Wenyao's eyes were stern, and he answered firmly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best.

I will never come back to see Your Highness until I complete the mission!"

Zhu Gang nodded slightly and patted his shoulder: "With your words, I feel more at ease.

Go ahead and be careful.”

Fang Wenyao nodded and left immediately after receiving the order.

While Zhu Gang was worrying about the jewelry issue, he knew very well that in order to successfully implement the policy, he must first ensure the stability of Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhu Gang then personally stepped forward to coordinate, and the underworld people led by A Yu worked closely with the Jinyiwei to launch a siege against the sabotage activities of the hostile forces.

The night in Yingtian City should have been peaceful and tranquil, but tonight there was an unusual atmosphere of solemnity.

In the streets and alleys, the bars and teahouses that were usually bustling had closed early.

The people seemed to be aware of the tense atmosphere in the air. They closed their doors and windows and hid in their houses, not daring to make a sound.

Xu Lin, who had just been promoted to the position of deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was wearing a Feiyu suit and an embroidered spring sword on his waist. His face was as cold as the frost on this cold night.

He led a team of elite Jinyiwei and moved silently through the city alleys.

Like a group of cheetahs in the dark, keenly searching for traces of prey.

A sixth-rank officer reported to Xu Lin in a low voice: "Sir, according to intelligence, the enemy forces will take action near the abandoned warehouse in the south of the city tonight, and it seems that they want to destroy the grain reserves of the Daming Bank."

Xu Lin frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Humph, these scoundrels actually dared to do evil things right under the nose of the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Today, we will make sure that they never come back!"

After saying this, he waved his hand and the Jinyiwei team sped up their pace.

At the same time, A Yu and other gangsters were approaching the abandoned warehouse in the south of the city from different directions.

A Yu, known as the "Shadow Swordsman" in the martial arts world.

He has a nimble figure and outstanding martial arts skills, and the sword in his hand glows coldly under the moonlight.

He led several capable brothers and moved quickly across the rooftop under the cover of night, like ghosts.

Ah Yu whispered to his brothers beside him, "Brothers, this time we will help the Jinyiwei to encircle and suppress these thieves who are trying to destroy the stability of our Ming Dynasty.

You must use all your strength, and don’t let down our reputation as heroes in the martial arts world!"

Everyone nodded slightly, with determination in their eyes.

As the Jinyiwei and the gangsters gradually approached the abandoned warehouse in the south of the city, they could faintly hear some noisy sounds coming from inside.

Xu Lin raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then made a gesture for silence.

Everyone immediately held their breath, dispersed quietly, and surrounded the warehouse.

Through the gaps in the warehouse's dilapidated windows, Xu Lin vaguely saw a group of men in black inside, busy moving some suspicious objects, apparently preparing to place destructive tools such as explosives.

The captain beside him said softly, "Sir, it seems that the tip-off is correct. They really want to attack the grain reserves."

Xu Lin snorted coldly, his words revealing a strong murderous intent.

"Wait until they are all gathered together, and catch them all in one fell swoop. Don't let any of them escape!"

At this moment, a man in black in the warehouse seemed to notice something and shouted in a low voice: "Something is wrong, there seems to be someone outside!"

This shout instantly broke the silence in the warehouse.

The group of men in black suddenly panicked and drew their weapons, ready to fight.

"Do it!"

Seeing that the time had come, Xu Lin shouted and rushed into the warehouse first. In an instant, the Jinyiwei rushed into the warehouse from all directions like tigers descending from the mountains, and the embroidered spring swords flashed a cold light under the dim light.

They were well-trained and coordinated well, and they engaged the men in black in an instant.

A Yu and others were not to be outdone. They broke in through the window on the roof like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

Ah Yu swung the sword in his hand and stabbed a man in black, shouting, "You thieves, how dare you bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty? Give me your life!"

The man in black hurriedly raised his knife to block, but he was no match for A Yu.

After only a few rounds, he was stabbed in the chest by A Yu's sword and fell to the ground and died.

The warehouse suddenly fell into chaos. The sounds of shouting and weapons clashing were deafening.

The Jinyiwei continued to put pressure on the men in black with their superb swordsmanship and tight formation.

A deputy captain dodged the attack from the man in black.

Then he turned around and slashed the black-clad man's arm accurately.

The man in black screamed and the weapon in his hand fell.

The people in the martial arts world also showed their abilities.

One of A Yu's brothers, who is good at hidden weapons.

He just shook his hand and several darts shot towards the group of men in black like meteors.

In an instant, two men in black were hit in the vitals by darts and fell to the ground.

However, these hostile forces are not completely powerless to fight back.

One of them was a tall man in black who looked like the leader and had great martial arts skills.

He held a long knife in his hand and charged left and right, injuring several Jinyiwei in succession.

The leader-like tall man in black roared, "Humph, you guys think you can stop us? Today we are going to plunge Yingtian City into chaos!"

Seeing this, Xu Lin's eyes became stern and he rushed towards the leader himself.

His steps were as fast as flying, his body was agile, and the embroidered spring sword in his hand danced with impenetrable force.

"How shameless of you to say that! Let me show you how I will take your head today!"

The two men immediately started fighting, with swords flashing and sabers flying, neither of them giving in.

Xu Lin is worthy of being a master who is one of the four commanders of the Jinyiwei. His swordsmanship is sharp and every sword strike carries the momentum of a sure kill.

Although the leader of the men in black had some skills, he gradually became unable to withstand Xu Lin's fierce attack.

Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, a group of men in black suddenly jumped out from the corner of the warehouse.

It turned out that these hostile forces had a backup plan, intending to attack the Jinyiwei and the gangsters from behind and catch them off guard.

A general flag noticed something was wrong and shouted loudly: "Watch out behind you!"

However, it was too late, the newly emerged men in black had already launched their attack.

Some Jinyiwei and people from the underworld were injured due to being caught off guard.

However, the Jinyiwei and the people of the underworld are well-trained and experienced after all.

After a brief panic, they quickly adjusted their formation and turned to meet the enemy.

A Yu rushed towards the short and fat man in black who had just appeared, and waved the sword in his hand vigorously, blocking their attack in an instant.

"It's not that easy to launch a sneak attack!"

At this time, the confrontation between Xu Lin and the leader of the men in black had reached a critical moment.

Xu Lin seized the opportunity and made a sharp turn to avoid the knife attack from the leader of the men in black.

Then he used the force of turning around to swing his sword with all his strength, and the sword hit the neck of the leader of the men in black.

The leader of the men in black widened his eyes and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The long sword in his hand fell with a clang, and then he fell to the ground and died.
