Zhu Di was very satisfied with the test results of the three types of artillery.

After praising Zhu Zhangui for a while and meeting some of the main craftsmen, the old man returned to the palace with satisfaction.

Before leaving, he told Zhu Zhangui to finish the work at hand as soon as possible and go back to prepare for the wedding in a month.

After Zhu Zhangui decided on the candidate for the imperial concubine, the Ministry of Etiquette began preparations for the wedding.

As the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Zhangui naturally does not need to worry about the six rites. The Ministry of Rites and his wife Zhang will make all arrangements.

The only thing Zhu Zhangui has to do is learn the wedding etiquette and prepare for marriage.

After sending Zhu Di and others away, Zhu Zhangui made some arrangements and prepared to return to the East Palace.

Zhu Pangpang had already said before leaving that he would go back tonight no matter what, saying that he had something to explain to Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui asked what was going on, but Zhu Pangpang didn't say anything, and just smiled and said it was a good thing.

Thinking of the good thing his father said, Zhu Zhangui made some arrangements and left the south camp with his guards.

"Quickly inform sir, he is gone."

Zhu Zhangui and his men had just left the camp when a man dressed as an apprentice quickly said something in the ear of the master beside him.

The old master nodded, walked to a nearby birdcage, played with it a few times, and released the bird when no one was paying attention.

The bird was so fast that it disappeared into the camp in the blink of an eye.

After entering the city, Zhu Zhangui did not go back to the palace immediately. Instead, he went to the mansion in Xuanwu Lake first.

After confirming the recent profits and replenishing some goods, Zhu Zhangui had lunch before returning to the East Palace.

Since Xuanwu Lake House is close to Taiping Gate, Zhu Zhangui would enter the palace through Taiping Gate every time he returned to the palace from Xuanwu Lake.

As the back entrance of the imperial palace, Taipingmen is very strictly guarded.

In addition, the location is somewhat remote and close to the palace, so there are very few people walking here.

Riding a horse with his escort on the lianyin trail, Zhu Zhangui hummed a ditty in his mouth and walked forward leisurely.

But as they walked, Zhu Zhangui stopped his horse, and his expression slowly turned cold.

The road ahead was blocked by several carriages at some unknown time.

"There are assassins protecting His Highness!"

The guard commander shouted loudly and led Zhu Zhangui among them.

He took off the shield hanging on his horse, looked around cautiously, and slowly backed away while guarding Zhu Zhangui.

"Crash!"

Unfortunately it's too late.

As Zhu Zhangui and others stopped, hundreds of masked men rushed out with bows, crossbows and swords, surrounding Zhu Zhangui and others.

"Capture him and save the emperor."

The leading masked man shouted coldly, brandished his sword and ordered an attack.

"Haha, you remnants of Jianwen, it seems that I am too soft-hearted, making you think that I am easy to bully."

Zhu Zhangui sneered, pulled out his sword, and swung it forward.

"Keep the leader of the thief alive and kill the others without mercy!"

"kill!"

Zhu Zhangui issued the order, and dozens of guards drew their swords without fear, guarding Zhu Zhangui and rushed towards the enemy.

"Bang bang bang!"

Before the two parties came into contact, the three guards at the front pulled out their pistols and fired fiercely in front of them.

In an instant, bullets were flying wildly.

The few masked men who rushed at the front were knocked to the ground.

"Damn it, shoot the arrow!"

The leader of the masked men, seeing that the other party dared to resist, was so angry that he ordered the archers who were on alert outside to release arrows immediately.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Dozens of arrows pierced the space and let out a sharp roar, flying towards the guards.

"Ding Ling Ding Cang!"

It's a pity that they underestimated these guards, and before the arrows hit them, they were chopped away by the guards with their swords.

Those who can protect Zhu Zhangui are all experts in the escort camp.

Each of them is a hero who has gone through hundreds of battles and wallowed among the dead more than once.

Not to mention the battle of hundreds of people in front of them, they have all experienced the chaotic fighting of tens of thousands of people.

Flying away the incoming arrows, the guard leader roared angrily, waved the ring-headed sword in his hand, and rushed into the enemy's formation.

Cold light flashed, blood surged, and screams continued.

Dozens of guards protected Zhu Zhangui. They ignored hundreds of people and rushed to the masked leader.

"Asshole, stop them."

With just a few breaths, Zhu Zhangui and others broke through the siege of his men and came straight towards him. The masked leader was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

"Haha, I want to run away, but it's too late!"

Zhu Zhangui, who was being guarded by his men, threw away the blood-stained steel knife, pulled out a pistol, and pulled the trigger on the masked leader.

"boom!"

Following the gunshot, the masked leader screamed and fell to the ground, clutching his thigh.

"catch him!"

Looking back at the masked man who was desperately chasing him, Zhu Zhangui asked his men to take the injured masked man leader, avoid the flying arrows, and go to the Xuanwu Lake house.

All the way into the house, the guard leader ordered people to gather people to capture the assassin. Zhu Zhangui looked at the masked leader who was thrown off the horse with a cold face.

"Whoa!"

One of the guards pulled off the mask from the opponent's face, revealing the appearance of the masked leader.

"Haha, who was I then? It turned out to be Mr. Huangfu. If you weren't an official with my second uncle, how could you be Jianwen's subordinate?"

After seeing the other person's face clearly, Zhu Zhangui showed a happy smile.

Zhu Zhangui stepped forward and stepped on the opponent's injured leg, and said hello kindly.

"Ah~"

The wound was stepped on hard, and Mr. Huangfu let out a heartbreaking howl in pain.

He wanted to reach out and push Zhu Zhangui's feet away, but he was held down by several guards. It hurt so much that veins popped up on his forehead and his body couldn't stop twitching.

After greeting the other party warmly, Zhu Zhangui knelt down with a smile and looked at Mr. Huangfu.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"snort!"

Mr. Huangfu snorted coldly and turned his head to the side.

"Pop!"

Zhu Zhangui clapped his hands and said in appreciation: "I just like tough-minded people like you."

After praising the other party, Zhu Zhangui stood up and ordered to a guard: "Tell Ji Gang that before dark, I want everyone involved in the assassination to be arrested. If he can't do it, for Yun'er's sake, let him be there."

Commit suicide before dawn tomorrow, so that I can protect his family from death."

"As you command!"

After one of the guards left, Zhu Zhangui pointed at Mr. Huangfu and said, "Take him to the gate of the Second Uncle's Mansion, go to the Jinyiwei Prison to find a knifeman, and chop him alive for me. Don't let him die within three days."

.If he dies, let the knifeman and his whole family go down to accompany him."

After another guard left, Zhu Zhangui looked at the guard leader with a cold face.

"You go and tell the old man that the weather is cold today, so he should go to bed early, and tell him that if he goes to bed early today, I won't take any of the profits from Japan."

"As you command!"

After giving the order, Zhu Zhangui sat on the chair with a smile on his face and looked at the door.

"It seems that no one still believes in my methods overseas. Since you don't believe it, let me show you that my knife kills people really quickly."

It's a very interesting book. I heard that my driving skills are very good. It is said that it is a trumpet played by a great god. As for who it is, I am not sure.
