"Everyone, get up." After the prince nodded gently, his eyes fell on Shen Ao, who was motionless. The man didn't even salute just now. This was originally the following offense. "Mr. Zhongguo, see you. Why don't you bow to me, the prince?"
With a condescending look, the prince's eyes actually contained a bit of a smile. It was obvious that he wanted to tell you in this way, you are the Duke of the country and I am the prince. You must salute when you see me. This is rule."
Facing the prince's provocative gaze, Shen Ao was unmoved. He had the intention of killing the prince, so how could he care whether he was polite or not? He just wanted to see how the prince was doing before taking action. Answered his own question, "Your Highness, Marquis Zhongcheng was ambushed and seriously injured. His current life is unknown, but I don't know what the prince thinks?"
Shen Ao's question was not answered, and it really caught the prince off guard and completely diverted his attention. "What? Marquis Zhongcheng was ambushed, is he okay?"
Pretending to be the first time he heard about this matter, he asked with a surprised look. But when this look fell in Shen Ao's eyes, it was a bit too exaggerated. Compared to the movie stars he had seen , the prince's acting was a little too exaggerated, and Shen Ao agreed with his uncle's statement.
"Okay, so-and-so already knows the answer. But if the prince wants to deal with so-and-so, he can just attack the Duke of Zhongguo. It is really unbecoming of a gentleman to attack so-and-so's uncle. Of course, the prince will definitely not admit it, but so-and-so also No evidence is needed. It is enough for someone to identify you as the murderer. Now is the time to seek justice for your sacrifice."
As Shen Ao spoke, his steps moved.
These words matched his actions, and the prince's eyes involuntarily narrowed and his expression was shaken.
What does it mean that you just think it's enough, and what does seeking justice mean? Does Shen Ao, a mere prince of the country, really dare to take action against himself, the current prince?
Qin Qi was also startled by Shen Ao's words. This was clearly a blatant threat. At this moment, he had to admire Shen Ao's courage. At least if it were him, he would not dare to do this. His education since childhood prevented him from doing so. If he has any doubts about the king, he can only obey in his heart. Even if the king tells his subjects to die, he will have to die.
Xu Liang, the captain of the guard, also looked shocked. He instinctively stepped forward and stood in front of the prince. He didn't know what Shen Ao was going to do. He intuitively told him that this person seemed to be about to take action. It is said that a gentleman does not stand up. Under the dangerous wall, as the captain of the guard, he had to take action.
Including other guards in the East Palace, all their eyes fell on Shen Ao at this time. Either they were guarding against something, or they were looking at him curiously to see what he wanted to do.
To everyone's surprise, Shen Ao's footsteps not only did not move forward, but were retreating faster and faster. By the time everyone reacted, he had already retreated thirty steps away from the gate of the East Palace.
Even so, he still did not stop retreating. Not only that, he also shouted loudly to Shi Lei, Qin Qi and others, "What are you looking at? Retreat as far as possible."
Shi Lei didn't know what happened. Out of instinct, he listened to Shen Ao's words and began to retreat quickly, causing Qin Qi and the silver-armored guards next to him to retreat as well. Only the prince, Xu Liang, Zhong Xi and others were stupid. He stood there stupidly, unable to figure out what the hell Shen Ao was doing.
Without letting them wait any longer, when Shen Ao took about forty steps back, the monkey flew onto Shen Ao's shoulders at some unknown moment. One person and the other monkey clapped their hands together as if celebrating victory.
As they clapped their hands together, there was a loud bang!
It was like thunder on a rainy day, like a bolt from the blue, or like an earth dragon turning over. In short, there was a loud bang that hit my ears, boom!
With a loud explosion, the gate of the East Palace was smashed to the ground. The poor guard of the East Palace who was standing nearby fell down with the sound, and then bursts of ringing sounds were heard in the ears, some distance away from the door. Recently, the auricle has been bleeding outward, which is a sign of eardrum injury.
Dynamite appears in history for the first time!
To be precise, it was an explosive. This was something that Shen Ao had been preparing for a long time. He had tried it outside while traveling out of the city. However, due to the seriousness of the matter, only he and the monkey were present during the test.
I still remember that during the first explosion, very little medicine was used, but it still scared the monkey away. Shen Ao stood there for more than an hour before the monkey was not so scared and returned to his shoulder. Then again and again. As the composition of gunpowder increases, the power increases again and again.
In this explosion, the amount of gunpowder was not the largest. It was kept under the seat plate of the bullock cart so that it could be used at any time, just in case. Unexpectedly, it was actually used, and it completely blew down the gate of the East Palace. .
The monkey had seen gunpowder explosions countless times, but it still hadn't gotten used to it. At this moment, it was standing on Shen Ao's shoulders, screaming, scratching its ears and cheeks from time to time, and looking into the distance. Maybe it wanted to see Take a look and see how powerful it is. After all, this is the first time it has been used to blow up people.
power?
It can only be described as shocking.
The gate of the East Palace, which originally stood several feet high, has already collapsed.
The two-foot-high stone lion that originally stood in front of the gate had been blown to an unknown location. The power of shattering the body into pieces was not enough, but it could still be done with a certain amount of damage.
A large pit more than three meters deep also appeared in front of the gate of the East Palace. There were many guards of the East Palace lying around the pit, some were still wriggling like earthworms, and some had indeed lost their breath and were killed on the spot.
The prince was lucky. Or perhaps Xu Liang's reaction was quick enough. The moment the explosion sounded, he fell on the prince's body. He only had an injured eardrum and was left disgraced.
Although he was not hurt physically, he was hit mentally. At this time, he was sitting on the ground with a confused look on his face. He really didn't know where the explosion came from and why it appeared at this time. Could it be Did Shen Ao do it?
Is he a demon? Otherwise, how could Tianlei appear so coincidentally?
Or maybe he has done too many immoral things and attracted the wrath of Tian Lei?
Xu Liang's condition was much better. After his eardrums gradually began to hear, he began to direct the East Palace guards who were not injured or seriously injured to start cleaning the scene. He wanted to see how much damage was done.
Qin Qi's condition at this time was not much better. He had retreated quite quickly, but he had forgotten about the war horse. With the explosion, the war horse did not know where it had fled. In short, it was nowhere to be seen. He He stood there, looking at the collapsed east gate with a blank expression, his face still full of palpitations. Even now, he still doesn't understand what happened just now.
Just when Qin Qi's thoughts had not completely returned to their original place, he suddenly saw a figure running past him quickly. The figure was very familiar. Either one breath passed, or two breaths passed. Then he thought, "No, it's Duke Zhongguo."
The person who rushed out from Qin Qi was indeed the loyal Duke Shen Ao.
The failure to kill the prince did not satisfy You. Although the power of the gunpowder was jaw-dropping, he was still not satisfied. When everyone was dizzy and had not fully returned to their normal state, he He rushed out, aiming directly at the prince who was still sitting on the ground.
I don't know when there was a wooden board in his hand. It was a side board that had just come down from the oxcart. At this moment, Shen Ao, who was holding the wooden board in both hands, rushed to the prince's side. He waved his hands vigorously, shouldered it and stretched his waist. Twisting, the wooden board made a sound of wind in mid-air, and suddenly hit the prince who was still sitting on the ground.
"You dare!"
This shout was made by the prince. When he was still confused, he saw a green figure rushing towards him, and then he saw a wooden board smashing towards him. Out of instinct, the prince shouted to stop and moved his body Rolled away to the side.
The ancients learned six arts. As a prince of a country, you must not only know kung fu, but at least you must do simple exercises. In addition, he is only in his twenties, which is when his body is flexible. Although this roll is very indecent , completely inconsistent with his status as a prince, but it saved his life. The board that was supposed to hit his head fell on his shoulder, causing him to scream in pain.
"Wow! Killing, killing!" The prince shouted loudly while covering his shoulders with his hands. This shout also attracted Xu Liang and others. When they saw someone actually killing the prince, a All the guards were panicked and rushed towards me with swords in hand.
Shen Ao didn't succeed in his attack, and Shen Ao felt bad. He knew that he might have lost the best opportunity. At this time, he only regretted that he had only exercised for more than a year and did not learn martial arts properly. Otherwise, where would the prince be? There is still life.
Although the prince was only three steps away from him, Shen Ao still gave up the pursuit, because Xu Liang and other guards were already rushing over behind him. And they all looked like they were flying, fearing that he would continue. If you keep chasing, not only will you not hurt the prince at all, but you will have to answer here.
As soon as he turned around, Shen Ao unexpectedly did not chase the prince, but ran in the direction of Qin Qi. At this moment, only the silver-armored guard could save him, but he didn't know if he dared to meddle in this nosy matter.
"Young master, let's go first, someone will stop them." Shi Lei shouted, jumped behind Shen Ao, and blocked the path of several pursuing East Palace guards with a steel knife. Then there was a ping-pong-pong-pang-pong sound of weapons clashing. , it can be seen how close the pursuers were just now.
With this skill, Shen Ao ran to Qin Qi's side. At this time, Qin Qi already held the waist knife in his hand, but it was not Shen Ao that he had to deal with, but several East Palace guards who were chasing Shen Ao.
