Chapter 454

After the leading man in black introduced them one by one, he slowly sat down.

He said softly: "Today, I invite you all here to discuss a major matter! Kill the leader of the Ming thief, Nan Yanxi!"

After saying that, Yalikun, the falcon prince on the left side of the man in black, suddenly snorted coldly.

His pale blue pupils scanned the people on the opposite side relentlessly: "Hmph... It's not easy to kill Nan Yanxi."

"Back then, the hundreds of thousands of elite plateau eagles in our Eagle Khanate were no match for him. How could we just rely on these reckless and rabble-rousing people? Hmph..."

"What did you say!"

As soon as this statement came out, all the Jianghu people on the opposite side were instantly unhappy and started to protest.

Li Yuanjie even pointed at Yalikun and cursed: "Ah! Do you think you are still that aloof prince?"

"What a cow? You are just a lost dog now. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here!"

Li Yuanjie's words were simply a good scolding. Not only Yalikun, but also these other down-and-out nobles were scolded.

The people in the arena on the right all applauded secretly in their hearts.

"You! Presumptuous!" Yalikun was furious when he heard this.

It is simply outrageous for a prince of a kingdom to be pointed at the nose and insulted by Yi Cao Mang!

Then he stood up and was about to teach him a lesson.

The down-and-out aristocrats and people in the world who gathered together today already disliked each other, and the quarrel between the two instantly seemed like a powder keg was lit.

The crowd was divided into two groups, pointing and insulting each other, as if they were about to start a fight.

Seeing this, the man in black at the head quickly spoke out to persuade: "Everyone... everyone... please be patient... please listen to me."

Although everyone was at war with him, they didn't want to talk to him, but after all, they were on their own territory.

Furthermore, although a group of people dislike each other and are so noisy for their own sake, they dare not really take action against each other.

Seeing that there was a step down, they naturally shut up and sat back down.

Seeing this, the man in black hurriedly said: "Everyone, please calm down the anger of the thunder and listen to the next words."

"Now, the Ming thief is powerful. If we want to take revenge and get back everything that belongs to us, we must unite all the forces that can be united."

"We in Maple Leaf City assassinated Nan Yanxi back then, and we are also at odds with the Ming thieves."

"This time, I have invited you all here because we have a golden opportunity. If we all work together, we may be able to succeed."

"Oh? What opportunity?" After hearing this, Altay, who was sitting aside and had lowered his head and said nothing, immediately asked: "Isn't it his trip to Nanzhou this time?"

"My people found out that during Nan Yanxi's trip, the Yulin Army alone brought two thousand people, equipped with the Ming Dynasty's most advanced rifles."

"This does not include the Nanzhou Army in charge of the outer perimeter. After careful calculation, there are nearly 10,000 guards around Nan Yanxi."

"What can we people do? I'm afraid we'll be beaten into a hornet's nest before we can rush over."

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately echoed by others.

The man in black smiled, waved his hands to tell everyone not to worry, and slowly explained: "Yes...it is indeed as the Altay Crown Prince said."

"But don't forget that the purpose of Nan Yanxi's trip is to take that train to the east of Yuzhou to cheer and celebrate the Laoshizi Railway they built."

"My people came close to investigate. What kind of train is that? Except for one locomotive, the rest of the body is composed of carriages one by one, connected together with hooks."

"The carriage is as long as seven or eight carriages, but only two or three carriages wide. Even if it is full of people, there won't be many people inside."

"The railway line is so long, they can't put up garrison troops along the line, right?"

"We can work hard on this."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at each other, expressed that it made sense, and started to discuss it.

After a moment, the man in black turned his head to look at one person, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Marquis, you are the Marquis of Dongling County of Southern Zhao, and you have lived in Dongling County for a long time."

"The train from Nanyanxi passed through here this time. Do you know...where is a suitable place for an ambush?"

When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they saw a thin man sitting in the corner. Although his face was covered and only his eyes were exposed, it was not difficult to tell that this man should be relatively young.

At first, because he was sitting in the corner and kept silent, no one paid attention to him.

After hearing this question from the man in black, I noticed it. After thinking about the introduction just now, I remembered that this person was Zhao Zhenqian, the former Marquis of Dongling County in Nanzhao.

The emperor of Southern Zhao at that time was his uncle.

Seeing everyone watching, Zhao Zhenqian nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Well, I sent someone to investigate where the railway passes."

"This Nan Yanxi is a man who seeks fame and reputation. When building this railway, he wanted to disturb the people as little as possible and occupy as little farmland or houses as possible."

"I specially found some remote places to start construction. After careful investigation, I found that there are indeed several places suitable for setting up ambushes."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the man in black: "I just don't know how everyone is going to act. Let's choose the location based on the action plan."

Hearing this, Li Feng, the master of the Black Blade Sect on the side, said directly: "Then what else can we do? Just find a hiding place. When the train comes, everyone will rush up and pick off his dog head."

As soon as he said this, it was Yalikun, the eagle and falcon prince, who sneered: "Humph...it's just reckless, and you don't even think about what you say!"

"The train has a bronze head and an iron frame. It runs as fast as a horse. If Nan Yanxi rides on it, then this long carriage must be filled with imperial guards."

"If you are so thoughtless, you will only be beaten to death one by one by them."

"Huh!" Li Feng was furious when he heard this and slammed the table: "That's better than you just saying sarcastic words here!"

"Since you think it's not possible...then tell me what to do!"

"I said?" Yalikun smiled coldly: "What I said is naturally more reliable than what you said!"

After saying that, he turned to look at the leader in black and Zhao Zhenqian, and asked: "I am thinking that I can find a place along the cliff that passes by the cliff and find a suitable height."

"Find out which carriage Nan Yanxi is in. When the time comes, let's lay an ambush in advance. We'll just wait for Nan Yanxi's train to pass by and then jump off with Qinggong."

"Then he climbed in through the window of the train and killed him directly... By the time his guards found out, we were already in close combat with them, and the advantage of the firearms was naturally gone."

After finishing the plan, Yalikun looked at Li Feng provocatively, with a proud look on his face.

However, this plan is indeed much smarter than the thoughtless rush that Li Feng just said. Although Li Feng was extremely angry, he was helpless.

"Well... this is a great plan, but the suitable terrain is hard to find..." Zhao Zhenqian, who was sitting in the corner, thought for a moment and then slowly said: "I... have some other ideas, once and for all. We can capture him without even spending a single soldier."

"Oh? What is the solution? Please tell me quickly." After hearing this, everyone hurriedly asked.

Zhao Zhenqian was not in a hurry and said slowly: "Everyone knows... I, Nan Zhao, also vigorously developed firearms back then."

"If the Ming thieves hadn't suddenly launched an attack, in a few years, maybe the firearms of our Southern Zhao would not be inferior to those of the Ming Dynasty."

"After the Ming thieves broke through, they tried their best to collect the muskets, firearms and even gunpowder scattered among the people, probably because they were afraid of causing trouble."

After the words fell, Zhao Zhenqian paused and continued: "Fortunately, I secretly kept some of the gunpowder. It may have some effect today."

"If we find a suitable place, use gunpowder to make enough bombs, bury them on both sides of the railway, and detonate the bombs once the carriage carrying Nan Yanxi passes by."

"If God bless us, maybe we can kill Nan Yanxi without using a single soldier."

"As long as he dies, Ming Dynasty will definitely be in civil strife!"

"You...you have gunpowder? Are you serious?" After Zhao Zhenqian finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent such weapons from falling into the hands of the people and causing unnecessary trouble, Nan Yanxi issued a decree that did not allow private ownership of firearms and gunpowder.

All of them will be confiscated and dealt with centrally. Once the private collector is found, he will be imprisoned at the least, and beheaded at the worst.
