Zhu Zhanji looked at the King of Chu with a pale face. He had just poured out the matter like a bamboo tube pouring beans. If the King of Chu did not express his position at this time, then he and the prince's father would be in danger.
Chu King Zhu Muchen looked at Zhu Zhanji, who was already trembling slightly. He stood up and patted his grandson on the shoulder.
"Please rest assured, Taisun. As long as I am alive, I will never see such chaos happening in Nanjing City. Now the palace must be in chaos. His Highness Taisun should go back and take charge of the overall situation."
After that, Zhu Muchen sent Zhu Zhanji all the way to the door of his mansion before turning around and leaving.
Zhu Zhanji was very confused at this time. He had just told the King of Chu something big!
If it is not handled well, the city of Nanjing will be in ruins.
But why did the King of Chu still look so calm and calm, and even sent him away with a few words? Could it be that Zhu Muchen's attitude meant that he had surrendered to the King of Han and others?
Just when Zhu Zhanji's heart was in confusion, Aji from Prince Chu's Mansion walked out of the door and handed a letter into Zhu Zhanji's hand.
"Your Highness Taisun, this is a letter from my prince."
After Aji simply said this sentence, he stepped back without raising his head.
Zhu Zhanji looked at the letter in his hand and wondered what King Chu was planning.
At the third watch, the night was dark, and only two red lanterns emitted a faint light in front of the palace of Prince Chu. The moon high in the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and a gloomy wind came from in front of the door.
In an instant, dozens of shadows flashed and quietly climbed over the wall of Prince Chu's Mansion.
Fifty black-clothed dead men of the King of Han have successfully sneaked into the palace of Chu King Zhu Muchen. Just waiting to find the whereabouts of King Chu, they have a hundred ways to send Zhu Muchen to hell.
It was dark at this time, and the fifty assassins could only slowly follow the residence of King Chu marked on the drawing.
They were so careful that they didn't even make a sound of footsteps.
At this time, the Chu Palace was quiet and no one was patrolling.
One of the leading assassins said coldly: "Everyone says that the King of Chu is very talented, but in reality he is so stupid. There is no one on duty in the huge palace. It really saves us time. Go and kill the King of Chu quickly. Complete."
This is a great cause in the world!"
Just when these assassins were quietly about to touch the room where King Chu lived, a dazzling light lit up from one end of the wall.
Then the light of lanterns kept lighting up all around, slowly rising.
In an instant, it was almost as bright as day, and the assassins instinctively gathered together to surround them. When they adapted to the light and opened their eyes again, what they saw were soldiers surrounding them.
The leader, Aji, stood in front holding a lantern. The soldiers behind him were fully armed, wearing fine armor and carrying sharp weapons, looking like they were ready for battle.
Aji's expression was very calm, and he was not at all panicked by the appearance of these assassins.
"Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."
Just this sentence made the assassins feel like they were struck by lightning.
Now it seems that their plan has been exposed a long time ago. The reason why they were able to successfully reach the Prince of Chu's Mansion was because the other party wanted to catch a turtle in a jar.
The leader of the assassin knew that the matter had been exposed. He drew his sword directly and shouted an order: "Do your best for the king and kill the King of Chu!"
As he roared, the assassins behind him flashed their weapons one after another! As the peerless masters carefully selected by the King of Han, they all had the confidence to fight one against ten.
"Do your best for the king! Kill the King of Chu!"
Hearing this roar, Aji shook his head and turned around. The soldiers behind him took out firecrackers under the protection of the shields in the front row.
Immediately, the firing sound of the fire cannons echoed with the wails of the dead soldiers. Under the powerful attack of the fire cannons, the martial arts masters had no ability to resist at all. The ammunition could easily penetrate their bodies and break their flesh and blood.
At this time, in the palace of Prince Chu, Xu Xin, Bai Xiaoman, and Shang Ziyou gathered together holding their sleeping children. When they heard the artillery and wailing outside, their bodies trembled slightly unconsciously.
.
Zhu Muchen, on the other hand, stood in front of the door with an indifferent expression, as if he were an impenetrable wall.
Finally, after a burst of roaring and wailing, the night returned to calm. Soon a figure appeared outside the door. He knelt down and reported:
"Your Majesty, all the assassins have been eliminated, and the assassins who were captured alive bit open their mouths and committed suicide by poisoning the sac on the spot."
Zhu Muchen was about to open the door and go out, but Xu Xin grabbed his sleeve. He turned around and pinched Xu Xin's worried face.
"Don't worry, the sky won't collapse as long as I'm here. These three children are sleeping soundly. Don't wake them up."
Zhu Muchen then pushed the door open and went out. When he came to the courtyard again, the corpses of fifty assassins had been neatly placed together.
He then turned to look at the location of the imperial city and murmured to himself.
"It's almost time."
…
At this time, in the imperial city, King Zhao Zhu Gaosui was wearing brocade robes and jade robes, and his numerous brocade guards were on standby in a square formation.
The torches erected high on both sides lit up the dark night.
King Zhao Zhu Gaosui calculated the time. By this time, the dead soldiers of King Han should have killed Zhu Muchen. No one would stop their next plan.
King Zhao walked to the front at a striding pace, raised his hand in the air, and was about to drop it heavily when a group of people suddenly appeared in the distance.
Just when Wang Zhao was surprised, the team of people was already approaching. Only then did he see the person clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked: "Li Yu'an, what are you doing here?"
Li Yu'an looked solemn and said: "As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, why His Highness King Zhao mobilized so many Jinyi Guards tonight, I naturally want to come over and ask clearly."
King Zhao suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist and put it on Li Yuan's neck after a disagreement.
"What do I want to do? Is it possible that I still have to look at your face?"
Even with the long knife on his neck, Li Yu'an did not panic at all. He said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "There is a decree to be conveyed to His Highness King Zhao."
Then he took out a golden imperial edict from his arms and handed it to King Zhao.
King Zhao took the imperial edict, opened it, and fixed his eyes on it. His face suddenly changed, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Your Highness, King Zhao, please invite me. This is not the place to talk."
King Zhao turned his head and glanced at the Jinyi guards behind him, signaling them to stay where they were and not to act rashly, and then he followed Li Yuan up the tower.
He looked at the familiar figure sitting on the dragon chair in front of him, and felt a chill in his back, and cold sweat had penetrated his fine clothes.
His legs became weak and trembled unconsciously, and he knelt down on the ground with a "pop". The pressure emanating from the figure on the dragon throne made King Zhao afraid to raise his head, and his throat felt like it was stuck.
A fish bone makes even breathing painful.
His father, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was sitting there lively. King Zhao Zhu Gaosui pressed his head tightly to the ground, not daring to look forward at all, as if a knife would be placed on his neck the next moment.
Same.
Zhu Di ignored King Zhao who was trembling with fear and turned to look at the emperor's grandson beside him.
"Go and bring your worthless uncle to see me."
Zhu Zhanji pointed at himself and said in a somewhat hollow voice: "Ah? Shall I go? My second uncle may not listen to me."
Zhu Di didn't seem to hear this. He was stroking his beard with one hand and looking at the rows of torches outside the city not far away.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji could only walk to the bottom of the city wall with a grimace.
Outside the city wall, Han King Zhu Gaoxu was commanding his own bodyguards. As soon as the city gate was opened, he immediately entered the city.
He was riding on a tall horse, his brows slightly furrowed.
"What is the third child doing? Why haven't you opened the city gate for so long? It's almost dawn now. Time waits for no one. Prepare to attack the city by force immediately!"
Just when the team behind King Han was preparing to charge, the gate of Nanjing City slowly opened from the inside, and a man came out on horseback.
Seeing this, the King of Han waved his men to stop. When he saw that the person coming was his nephew Zhu Zhanji, he asked in a cold voice: "My nephew, are you here to die?"
Zhu Zhanji jumped off his horse and laughed awkwardly: "Second uncle, look what you are talking about. We are all a family. There is no need to make it so ugly."
Zhu Gaoxu sneered when he heard this and put his spear on Zhu Zhanji's neck.
"Is this what you want to say, nephew? Don't you think it's too late now?"
Zhu Zhanji was extremely nervous at this time, but he still took out a gold medal from his arms and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu's eyes.
"It's not too late, uncle, the main reason is that grandpa wants you to go in and see him."
When Zhu Gaoxu saw the gold medal, a cold light flashed in his eyes!
That is the gold medal given by the emperor. Seeing it is like seeing the emperor!
At this moment, a chill arose in his heart. Could it be that nothing happened to the old man at all and that everything he had heard before was false?
This is impossible.
He had previously wanted to visit the old man, but was rejected. The matter was also confirmed from the palace.
I'm afraid this is a ploy to trick him into entering the city alone? Zhu Gaoxu guessed in his heart.
Whose plan is this? Sanyang? No, this is probably the plan of Chu King Zhu Muchen!
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't care less about Zhu Zhanji who was right in front of him. He turned around and ordered: "Everyone, prepare!"
As soon as the order was given, the soldiers behind him immediately picked up their guns and mounted their horses, ready to charge into the city at any time!
Before they could take a step forward, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and felt a strong and cold murderous intent pouring down from the city wall.
He looked up and saw that the city wall was already covered with gunmen.
As long as they take one step forward, they will die.?
