If it was just an ordinary ambush, then it would be fine, but the other party actually used powerful weapons such as crossbows in the army. How rampant this was. To put it more seriously, it was ignoring him, the national leader who was in charge of Nanjing City.
Gong, ignore the majesty of the Ming Dynasty law.
Shao Yuanjie, who was sitting opposite Xu Yan, flicked his hand, and his exquisite control ability instantly restored the scattered chess pieces. He stretched out his hand to pick up a chess piece and dropped it on the chess board. He said in a calm tone: "Why should the prince do it for some people who are about to die?"
But when you unleash such a thunderous fire, you must protect your body!"
Shao Yuanjie's voice had a mysterious rhythm, and one sentence calmed the anger in Xu Er's heart. Xu Er, who exhaled a breath of turbid air, nodded slightly at Shao Yuanjie and said, "But it made the real person laugh!"
Xu Pengju, who was standing aside, couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, I'm afraid Chu Yi won't give up this time!"
These people even used the powerful crossbows in the army. They were determined to take Chu Yi's life, but it was a pity that they underestimated Chu Yi.
Even if Chu Yi is safe and sound, with Chu Yi's temper, someone dares to attack him with a powerful crossbow in the army on the long street. This is a naked provocation. If Chu Yi doesn't retaliate,
That would be very inconsistent with Chu Yi's style of conduct.
Originally, under the control of Xu Er, Chu Yi was about to stop, but these people decided to come out like this. Are they really trying to force Chu Yi to commit another bloodbath?
At this moment, Xu Pengju felt a little pity for the person who planned this assassination. With Dongchang's ability, it might not be difficult to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes. Besides, Chu Yi didn't necessarily need any evidence. There was no mistake in killing him.
, I didn’t let go, but all the suspicious families were slaughtered together, so I don’t know how many families in Nanjing City will suffer.
He raised his head and glanced at Xu Pengju, only to hear Xu Ru say: "Invitations to the banquet will continue to be distributed in three days, but please go to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, pass my order, and dispatch a guard to patrol the city to suppress any possible chaos at any time.
!”
As the saying goes, a dog will jump over the wall when it is anxious, but a rabbit will bite when it is anxious. Previously, Chu Yi acted cleanly and calmed down many people, so he ransacked homes and took people so smoothly that almost no one could resist.
But after a day of deliberation, everyone has calmed down. If Chu Yi is furious this time and wants to take away people, some families may be forced to fight back desperately. In this case, if
If someone with ulterior motives only adds fuel to the flames, the city of Nanjing will become lively.
When Xu Pengju heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "I will go to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion immediately!"
The atmosphere over the city of Nanjing seemed to be stagnant. Even the prosperous Qinhuai River in the past seemed to have been affected. The literati who gathered in small groups were no longer having fun and drinking, but were hiding in the cabins discussing what had just happened.
The news came about Chu Yi’s assassination.
On a flower boat, several literati drank away the beauties who came to serve them. While drinking, one of them looked a little red and said, "What a pity that this eunuch escaped!"
"Yes, I heard that even the most powerful crossbows in the army were used. Even so, the eunuch was not shot dead!"
"Fortunately, the righteous men who assassinated the eunuch died one by one, so we don't have to worry about the eunuch taking the opportunity to implicate innocent people and create an unjust case!"
A scholar sitting by the window suddenly showed a look of horror and said: "Look, everyone, that...that is..."
The few literati who were talking eloquently suddenly raised their heads and looked into the distance. Their expressions suddenly froze, and they saw a group of cavalry roaring past.
Regarding this group of cavalry, almost everyone in Nanjing City knew about it in the past two days. It was the elite cavalry under Shi Kui transferred by Chu Yi.
At this moment, the cavalry roared along the Qinhuai River. The movement was so loud that even the few literati on the flower boat were alarmed.
When the cavalry roared past and they reacted, several literati said angrily: "The gelded dog is going to hurt people again!"
With the channels controlled by Dongchang, after obtaining the inscriptions on the strong crossbows, it only took a short time to lock the ins and outs of the strong crossbows.
Zhaowu General Wu Peng is one of the very few generals with military power in Nanjing City. He has five to six thousand men under his command, but Wu Peng spends most of his time in Nanjing City. As for the military camps outside the city,
He hasn't been there for probably half a year.
On this day, Wu Peng was playing games with Xin Na's eighth concubine at home. Suddenly, he heard the butler's miserable howl outside the door: "Master, Dongchang... Dongchang...
Coming to kill!"
Wu Peng, who was riding on his concubine, couldn't help but shudder when he heard the second son of Dongchang, grunted, and rolled out of bed with his plump body. While dressing up, he shouted: "Dongchang? Is it Butcher Chu?"
Are you bringing someone to kill?"
As a result, a scream came from outside the door. The housekeeper didn't know whether he was knocked unconscious or killed. With a bang, the door was kicked open. Shi Kui, dressed in military uniform, strode forward and punched
On Wu Peng's belly, several soldiers stepped forward and tied him up on the spot.
"General Wu Peng of Zhaowu colluded with the rebel king Zhu Zhixiu, intending to rebel, and on the orders of the governor, his family was confiscated and his family exterminated!"
Wu Peng bared his teeth and screamed: "It's unjust. I'm an unjust person!"
Shi Kui sneered and leaned into Wu Peng's ear and said: "General Zhaowu, something happened to you. Tell me honestly, where did the eight powerful crossbows that were not issued half a year ago go?"
But it is said that Zhou Zhipeng, led by two close servants, erased the traces in the attic, evacuated immediately, avoided the search of Dongchang Fanzi, and hurriedly returned home.
The Zhou family is a famous maritime merchant. Their ancestors have been involved in maritime trade since the reign of Taizu. Over the past hundred years, they have accumulated rich experience. The maritime trade business is getting bigger and bigger, and they even have a stronghold in Japan. It can be said that among all maritime merchants
Among them, the Zhou family can at least be ranked in the top ten.
At this time, in an elegant small courtyard of the Zhou family, Zhou Anmin, the head of the Zhou family, was drinking tea and chatting with several other family members. From time to time, he looked towards the entrance of the small courtyard, obviously worried.
One of them was sitting cross-legged, wearing a warrior uniform, with a bare head, with only hair on the sides and in the middle. He was tied into a ponytail on his back, with a mustache on his lips. He was of medium stature and sat there indifferently. He looked the same.
The head of the family seemed out of place.
Takeda Nobuyuki stood up straight, glanced at the head of the Zhou family and others, and said calmly: "Gentlemen, you must have confidence in the strength of my Japanese warriors!"
The head of the Zhou family raised his glass to Takeda Nobuyuki, nodded slightly and said: "Of course we have confidence in the strength of your country's warriors, otherwise, we would not turn to Takeda-kun for help this time!"
Takeda Nobuyuki said with a bit of pride: "That's natural. Those warriors are selected from the most elite warriors under my general's command. Any one of them can be equal to ten. Your country's governor of the East Factory, Ichisuke Ichisuke,
Huan, how can you withstand the encirclement and attack by several warriors from our country!"
It can be seen that Takeda Nobuyuki is very confident in the warriors he sent to assist Zhou Zhipeng in ambushing Chu Yi.
A family head next to him said with a bit of anxiety in his eyes: "Brother Zhou, Master Ling has been here for a full hour. If everything goes well, there should be news by now!"
As he was talking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps heading straight towards the small courtyard. With a bang, the courtyard door was knocked open. Zhou Zhipeng was seen rushing into the courtyard with a look of horror and embarrassment. He saw the head of the Zhou family and others in an instant.
I couldn't help but wailed: "Father, it's over, it's all over!"
The heads of the houses who were originally worried about Zhou Zhipeng felt their hearts thumping when they saw Zhou Zhipeng's appearance. Some heads of the house even almost fell down when their body shook!
Just by looking at Zhou Zhipeng's panicked look, any fool would know that this long street ambush on Chu Yi would most likely fail.
After all, he was a merchant who was accustomed to seeing wind and waves. Zhou Anmin, the head of the Zhou family, stepped forward, slapped Zhou Zhipeng with his hand, and shouted: "You evildoer, how can you behave in such a panic!"
Zhou Zhipeng was suddenly woken up by the whipping. Thinking of the possible consequences of his failure to lead people to ambush Chu Yi, he still couldn't help but sob softly.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Anmin nodded towards the other panicked family heads, his eyes fell on Zhou Zhipeng and he said solemnly: "Zhipeng, tell my father how you ambushed Chu Yi in detail!"
Everyone only heard Zhou Zhipeng say that the ambush failed, but they didn't even know what happened. If Chu Yi was not dead, was he injured? They didn't know this at all.
The eyes of several family heads fell on Zhou Zhipeng. Even Takeda Nobuyuki, who was sitting there with an indifferent expression, couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhipeng. Seeing Zhou Zhipeng's unbearable look, Takeda Nobuyuki's eyes flashed.
A bit of disdain.
Zhou Zhipeng paused and explained his arrangements in detail. Even Takeda Nobuyuki nodded slightly after hearing this. At least Zhou Zhipeng's arrangements were in order and there were no mistakes.
Even if they go there in person, they may not be able to come up with any new tricks. They have powerful crossbows and Japanese Ronin just in case. Generally speaking, it is difficult for Chu Yi to fly without wings.
One of the family heads widened his eyes and said: "Then Chu Yi was born with three heads and six arms, and this allowed him to escape the disaster?"
Zhou Zhipeng said with a cry: "He...he is not a human being. A dozen powerful crossbows were fired at him, but they didn't even touch the corner of his clothes. Instead, he was killed easily."
"What? You said that there were more than a dozen powerful crossbows shooting at him, but Chu Yi wasn't even injured?"
They thought that Chu Yi was destined to at least be injured so that they could make repairs later, but Zhou Zhipeng actually told them that the powerful crossbow could not even touch Chu Yi's clothes.
Several family heads looked at each other. If it weren't for Zhou Zhipeng's devastated look, they would have suspected that the other party was playing tricks on them.
At this moment, Takeda Nobuyuki, who was sitting there, roared and shouted: "Where are the brave warriors under my general?"
[It’s on the shelves. I originally prepared eleven chapters of 2,000 words, but everyone in the group said that they should be combined into one big chapter, so there are only seven chapters left with 3,000 words, so don’t think it’s too little. Please give me your monthly vote and reward me.
Ah, big guys, let this book get on the monthly ticket list, please!]
