Chapter 404
When the guards of the two Centuries were chasing the assassins, Bai Mu came to see that Jiang Chuan was safe and sound, and sent another team to search the nearby streets, and dispersed all the onlookers to ensure that there were no remaining assassins nearby.

The guards guarding Jiangchuan also dispersed and continued to maintain a state of vigilance.

"Bai Mu, if you were an assassin, what would you do?" Jiang Chuan asked suddenly.

"Of course I escaped from the city as soon as possible." Bai Mu said without thinking.

"That's a good point, so send someone to notify Shanjia immediately, and ask him to send someone to take over all the nine gates of the capital. No one is allowed to be released without my king's order." Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice.

"My lord, is this trying to catch a turtle in the urn?" Bai Mu was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized it.

Soon the guards took Jiang Chuan's order to find Shanjia.

Only then did Jiang Chuan have time to see what happened to the people sitting in the two carriages.

If Xia Junze, the chief assistant, died unfortunately, then Jiang Chuan would at most feel a pity, and it would not be considered a big loss.After all, with his current size and status, there are definitely not a few people who are willing to cling to him.

However, Xia Junze's demeanor was quite to Jiang Chuan's liking, so his life was more meaningful.

Seeing Jiang Chuan approaching, a centurion standing in front of the carriage hurried over to greet him.

"How is it? Is the person still alive?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"My lord, everyone in the two cars is safe and sound, but the woman in the second car was frightened." The centurion replied in a deep voice.

Jiang Chuan was a little surprised, so many crossbow arrows were shot at the carriage, how could the people inside be safe and sound?

The centurion led Jiang Chuan to the front of the second car, grabbed a crossbow bolt inserted in the car with his hand, and pulled it out with a flick of his hand.

"My lord, these arrows never shot into the chariot at all." The centurion raised the arrow in his hand and said.

Jiang Chuan understood that there was still a layer of protection inside the two vehicles. Although these crossbow bolts were powerful, they only shot through the outermost layer of wood.

Curious, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and stabbed hard at the car fender. Sure enough, he only pierced about an inch or two before encountering a hard block, and he couldn't go in any more. There was a piercing sound like piercing steel.

It turned out that the car had two floors, the outside layer was made of wood, and the inside had an iron plate, no wonder it could hold back strong bows and crossbows.

Only then did Jiang Chuan understand why the car was a four-horse cart and it didn't look easy. It turned out that there was a mystery in it.

It seems that this is an ancient bulletproof car. It can not only prevent arrows, but also the current muskets.To be honest, Jiang Chuan really wanted to try it on the spot, but after thinking about the current situation, he decided to find an opportunity to try it in private.

If it can be prevented, getting more cars like this in the future will always be an extra means of life-saving.

Remembering that there was an emperor's maid for him in the car, Jiang Chuan lifted the curtain with his sword, but he didn't see anyone at once, and then looked inside, only to see the woman curled up in the corner of the carriage, looking at the curtain covered by the car. The person pushed away, trembling with fright, his little face turned pale, obviously terrified.

"Don't be afraid, the king is here. Those assassins are gone, it's all right." Jiang Chuan comforted, and put down the curtain.

The identity of this woman is unknown now, whether it is the eyeliner arranged by the emperor, and the fact that she herself was threatened to kill the whole family by the emperor is not known to be true or not, so I will ask the Black Ice Platform to investigate carefully.

Jiang Chuan walked towards Xia Junze's carriage again, walked to the front of the carriage and laughed loudly: "Old Xia Ge, the assassin has left, are you safe and sound?"

Soon, the curtain was lifted, and Xia Junze came out of the car, jumped out of the car, bowed his hands and said in a low voice, "The officials have failed in their duties, so that these thieves were able to take the opportunity to make trouble, which surprised Your Highness. Fortunately, Your Highness The auspicious man is blessed by God, and he is safe and sound. If there is even the slightest damage, I will not be redeemed by a hundred deaths!"

Jiang Chuan saw his serious face and sincere tone. Obviously, these words came from the heart. Not only did he have a better impression of the chief assistant, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xia Ge's old words are serious. Since the king raised his army, he has killed people. Countless. There are a lot of people in this world who want to kill this king. However, I am afraid that there is no one who can really hurt this king.”

Although Jiang Chuan's words sounded a little arrogant, Xia Junze felt a strong sense of conviction from His Highness King Qin's flat tone.

He looked at Jiang Chuan with a hint of admiration in his eyes. This master probably didn't change his expression from the beginning to the end of the assassination.

The real thing is that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his color.

Jiang Chuan didn't know what Xia Junze was thinking, but said directly: "Old Xia Ge, in order to prevent the thieves from escaping, this king has ordered the Qin army to take over the defense of the Nine Gates of the capital, presumably Xia Ge will not have any objections, right? "

Xia Junze was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to say that he needed his own warrant to take over the defense of the city gate, and such a big matter needed to be discussed with himself first, how could it be so simple and rude?

Jiang Chuan saw Xia Junze's displeasure, and said with a slight smile, "I'm being reckless in this matter, but Mr. Xia Ge should take care of it if you are in a hurry. If Mr. Xia Ge doesn't want any unhappiness to happen, you should send someone to hurry up." Take your warrant and inform the guards of each gate to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

Xia Junze was indeed unhappy, but since he had already made up his mind to embrace Jiang Chuan's thigh, he would not cause Jiang Chuan's dissatisfaction because of this kind of thing, so he cupped his hands and said solemnly: "The soldiers in the Beijing camp are weak and loose, and they can't be used much. The defense of the capital must be handed over to His Royal Highness's army. This officer will send someone to notify the gatekeepers to hand over the defense."

Seeing what he said, Jiang Chuan nodded with a smile and didn't say much.

While Xia Junze was arranging the manpower to pass the order, the two centurions who went out to chase the assassins also came back with more than a dozen corpses of the assassins.

Looking at the assassin's body thrown on the ground, Jiang Chuan asked, "Is there anyone alive?"

Bai Mu mentioned an assassin who had been shot in the thigh by an arrow and threw it to the ground, saying: "Only this one was shot in the thigh by the last general, and fell unconscious after falling from the roof, so he didn't die. The others all died. .”

Jiang Chuan frowned, walked to the other assassins and leaned over to check, and found that several of them had black blood from their mouths and noses, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.

Bai Mu said beside him: "My lord, these people are well-trained dead soldiers. When they saw that they could not escape, they bit the poison hidden under the tongue. This poison is extremely poisonous, and it can kill people almost instantly. People died. Except for a few who were shot by our men, the rest of the guys took poison and killed themselves."

Looking at the dead people everywhere, Jiang Chuan felt very upset. Who on earth trained these dead men behind their backs, and even used them on himself!
Looking at the unconscious guy, Jiang Chuan said coldly: "Take it back, no matter what, we have to ask him who is behind the scenes. When I just entered the capital, someone gave me such a big gift, so I will never I would like to have fun with them and see who is more ruthless."

Bai Mu said in a deep voice: "At the end of the day, I will definitely let this person open his mouth to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes."

Jiang Chuan thought for a while and said: "This kind of dead men are brave and fearless. If not, they will be handed over to the Black Ice Station for trial. They are professionals."
