"The King Ping is here, the situation is not good, you and I will leave quickly!"

When the Prime Minister Que Quan saw the Grand Marshal Li Rong leading his troops to come, he couldn't help but tremble for a moment and showed fear.

He was not afraid of anything else, just fearing the reputation of the Grand Marshal Li Rong. The great god of war in the Great Chu Dynasty was a terrifying force in the world, and no one was afraid of it.

Li Rong came with a cavalry himself!

This assassination must have been discovered by Xiaohunhou long ago.

The assassins were completely wrapped in dumplings. I am afraid that one out of ten would not be left. Not everyone has the skillful body skills of Huang Baibu, who can fly over the eaves and walls and easily disappear.

Those assassins who are not good at light skills may not be able to escape.

He and his adviser Wu Liang had no martial arts skills, and once Jinling City was blocked, it would be even more difficult to escape.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I'm ready to create a big chaos. Let's run away while the chaos!"

Wu Liang said immediately.

“What chaos?”

"Gunpowder pack!"

“Where did it come from?”

Que Quan was surprised.

"As long as I have money, I can always buy it. I spent more than three thousand taels of silver to bribe a craftsman who knows gunpowder and bought several gunpowder packs.

I originally thought of using it to blow up Xiao Hunhou, but these gunpowder packs were too big, one of which was as big as half a basket, which was too conspicuous.

The Yanyu Painting Boat was too strict to be checked, so it was impossible to hide and bring it into the Yanyu Painting Boat.

It can only be placed in the inn guest rooms rented on the street to create chaos. If the assassination fails and detonates these gunpowder packs, it can also cause a big chaos."

"...Walk!"

The two of them hurried down from the restaurant, entered the alley, changed into the clothes, and secretly escaped from the waterway to Jinling City.

"Boom~!"

When I went to listen to a loud bang, there were huge explosions in several inns by the Qinhuai River.

Fires soar into the sky!

Many people were crying and ran out of these inns.

There are people, tourists, and dignitaries who watch the fun.

...

"Protect the emperor, queen, and imperial concubine!"

"Damn, who put the gunpowder?"

"Someone is injured, hurry back to the palace and go and pass on the imperial physician order Lord Song Yi!"

A large group of imperial guards dressed in disguise protected the concubines such as Emperor Xiang Yanran, Empress Cui, Yang Guifei and others, and came out of the collapsed inn.

The emperor made a temporary attempt to go out of the palace to relax and watch the fireworks event. He only brought escorts, and did not know that he would give it to any court officials.

The assassins had no intelligence, and they didn't know that the emperor was nearby.

They obviously did not come for the emperor, but just to assassinate Xiaohunhou.

However, in order to escape, Wu Liang created a fire and chaos before leaving. He put a gunpowder bag in a nearby inn. The gunpowder explosion was involved, but they were involved.

Who is this blamed?

All I can say is that it’s too unlucky!

Drink water and spread between your teeth.

It was just because I was curious about the fireworks and I came to see the fireworks. As a result, I encountered this unlucky thing.

Emperor Xiang Yanran felt a little embarrassed and did not make any statement.

Groups of black-clad men hurriedly guarded the emperor, concubines and others, and quickly returned to the palace for treatment.

...

Outside the misty rain boat.

The Grand Marshal Li Rong was taking hundreds of cavalrymen from the Li family to sweep the outside assassins on the pleasure boat.

Although these assassins are martial arts masters.

However, they did not have armor and were not good at battle formations. They were not the opponents of this group of well-trained and regular cavalrymen wearing armor.

The cavalry group almost charged, and these assassins were defeated by the cavalry and fled, and could no longer organize a counterattack and were chased.

The remaining yamen runners and Danyang elite soldiers also rushed out of the Yanyu Painting Boat and pursued the assassins.

In the Yanyu Painting Boat, only Li Yu, Zuer, Di'er and others were left, as well as Master Dahai, the great master of Buddhist martial arts, who guarded Chu Tianxiu.

With two martial arts masters here, even if the assassin wants to kill a resurgence, he will not be able to get close to him.

...

That night, tens of thousands of soldiers in Jinling City held torches like long dragons and searched all night long.

Jinling City will soon be closed down.

The cavalry guarded the city and chased and captured the assassins.

It's just that, it's a little difficult.

Jinling City is the imperial capital of the dynasty with a population of one million. There are tens of thousands of vendors traveling from all over the city.

When the assassins attacked, they all covered their faces and changed their faces. They simply changed their identities and made it difficult to find them from the business trip.

There was no solid enough evidence to prove that they were involved in the assassination.

"Report to the prefect, more than 70 assassins died, captured ten people alive, and escaped with an estimated 10 or 20 people. They have been wanted in the whole city and are searched!"

The yamen runners came to report.

"Um!"

Chu Tianxiu nodded lightly.

If it weren't for the sudden explosion that caused huge chaos and caused a large amount of manpower to put out the fire.

The assassins took the opportunity to escape.

Otherwise, the assassin would not have escaped so many people.

"What about the casualties in those inns? But there are clues, who committed the crime?!"

"I checked the inn and the tenant named Que De, and found residual gunpowder in the room he rented. Que De should be one of the masterminds of the assassination tonight! There were as many as hundreds of wounded people, more than ten dead, and they are being treated."

"Qide...Impotence? I'm afraid it's a pseudonym. Where did you get the gunpowder?"

"The Master of Justice sent someone to investigate. There was a gunpowder craftsman in the Craftsmanship Department of the Taiwei Mansion who had just committed suicide for fear of crime! He found thousands of taels of silver at his residence... If nothing unexpected happens, he is afraid it was done by this person."

The yamen runners report.

"Um!"

Chu Tianxiu was silent.

There are several companies that can make gunpowder now.

Taoist priests in Xuanwu Temple, the craftsman of the Taiwei Mansion, the gunpowder gun craftsman in Danyang County, and the Shen Mansion are all developing various gunpowder, fireworks, and firecrackers.

There are more craftsmen involved in the manufacture of gunpowder, and the gunpowder and formula will sooner or later be leaked. It is the simplest gunpowder and has a very powerful power.

However, these are no longer important.

The most important thing is that the princes and princes of the Xiang family had no scruples and broke up and openly assassinated him, the important official in the court, was a major signal that the rebellion was about to take action.

The princes had no court in their eyes.

The rebellion of the princes is imminent.

Tomorrow morning, there will definitely be a huge shock and dispute surrounding this assassination.

Many ministers, Xiang clan relatives, and even Empress Dowager Shen have always opposed the reduction of the vassal states, and I am afraid that they have not come back to their senses yet.

Reducing the vassal states was a major event that was enough to change the separatist power of the Great Chu Dynasty.

"Do you want to write a letter to ask the court to order the vassals to be reduced?"

Chu Tianxiu was thinking.

The emperor had long thought of reducing the vassals and taking back the fiefs of the princes... he was just afraid of the strength of the princes and had never found a suitable opportunity.
