The affairs of Fengyang Mansion were all arranged, and Zhu Cihong decided to go to Luzhou Mansion and Taiping Mansion to inspect and see how Zhu Dadian's errand of checking the land was doing.

At the beginning of May, Zhu Cihong ordered 5,000 men and horses of the Second Royal Brigade of the Tianwu Army to accompany him on a southern tour, assisting Zhu Dadian in forcibly recovering the land of the guards in Luzhou Mansion and Taiping Mansion, implementing military cantonments, and making room for the newly recruited 100,000 reserve tuntian soldiers.

After several days of inspection and deterrence, and after killing more than 20 guards and officials, the guards in Luzhou Prefecture relented one after another, expressing their willingness to return the encroached military land.

In order to express his gratitude to them for their cooperation, Zhu Cihong rewarded each general with an additional 500 acres of land and a pennant.

In mid-May, after inspecting Luzhou Mansion, Zhu Cihong continued to lead the army south to Taiping Mansion, but this time he changed his routine and decided to go to Taiping Mansion first on a micro-service patrol, and the army followed closely behind, separated by a day's journey.

Zhu Cihong was worried that Zhu Dadian would fool him, and second, he wanted to see with his own eyes and listen to what the reactions of the guards of the Taiping Mansion were, and how the people commented on the matter.

Zhu Cihong took Li Tingbiao, Xu Sheng and twenty personal guards together, and galloped away in the direction of Taiping Mansion.

Zhu Cihong took a shortcut all the way to Taiping Mansion, and when he crossed the Yangtze River and reached the outskirts of Taiping Mansion, it was already late.

Li Tingbiao said: "Your Highness, there are still more than 20 miles away from the state city of Taipingfu, it seems that the gate of our arrival in the state city has been closed today, there is a village not far in front, why don't we rest here for one night and hurry tomorrow?" ”

Zhu Cihong saw that the sky was getting dark, and this was indeed the case at this rate, so he agreed to stay overnight in front of him, and by the way, he asked the farmers in front of him about the situation in Taiping Mansion.

After entering the village, they found a big family, and after making some money, everyone ate something, and after finding a local family to learn about the situation in Taiping Mansion, they rested early and prepared to hurry again tomorrow morning.

Zhu Cihong was indeed a little tired after a day's journey, and fell asleep not long after lying down.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Cihong slept in a daze, feeling like pushing himself, he opened his eyes and saw that Li Tingbiao came to his side at some point, he just wanted to ask, but saw Li Tingbiao and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the situation outside is a little wrong, it seems that a large number of assassins have entered the village." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he was slightly startled at first, but quickly calmed down again, it seemed that someone was finally going to kill him.

He took out his revolver, put on the medicine, and said to Li Tingbiao: "You go and arrange, try to leave some alive, this palace wants to know who is so eager to kill himself!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of fighting outside, accompanied by a few screams, Li Tingbiao bowed slightly and hurriedly went out.

Xu Sheng drew his saber and stood tightly beside Zhu Cihong, while Wu Zhong also picked up a revolver and pinned it to his side.

Outside, a guard shouted, "Who are you?" Dare to commit murder here? ”

A black-clothed masked man outside sneered: "Naturally, it is the one who wants your life!" ”

The men stopped talking nonsense and began to fight with the guards, and from time to time there were the sounds of swords clashing and screams.

Zhu Cihong came out this time, bringing ten brocade guards and ten guards of the Yongwei battalion, and seeing that his own people had not taken down the other party for a long time, he couldn't help but go out to take a look.

As soon as I got out of the hospital, I saw hundreds of black-clothed people surrounding and killing Jinyi guards and personal guards, and the scene was a mess.

With a whistling sound, the ten guards of the Brave Guard Battalion retreated one after another, drew their revolvers and fired at the group of black-clothed men.

Although the revolver improved by the research institute has become smaller, it still needs to turn the steamer by hand when firing, and it will take several minutes to reload after a few sub-pills, which is very troublesome.

Therefore, the guards of the Brave Guard Battalion will not use revolvers until they are in a crisis, let alone waste medicine at a distance.

Now that the two sides were so close, the black-clad assassins were attacking again, and this was the perfect opportunity to use their revolvers.

Under the fire of ten guards, this group of black-clothed assassins instantly fell more than thirty people, which also startled them, but after a short period of fear, this group of black-clothed men did not flinch, and still rushed forward, obviously a group of dead soldiers.

An indifferent voice came from the man in black: "Kill them all, don't leave a single one alive!" Especially the little prince, kill at all costs! ”

"Yes!" The remaining dozens of black-clothed men rushed up again, completely deadly fighting.

The guards of the Jinyi Guard and the Yongwei Battalion are all skilled, although there are few people, it is a situation of a dozen or few, but they do not fall behind at all.

One of the young Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi performed the most brilliantly, he held the embroidered spring knife almost one by one, at most two knives to kill one, his knife skills were extremely fast, in the face of the siege of the three without panic, in a moment swing seven or eight knives to kill all three black-clothed people.

Zhu Cihong nodded secretly, and at the same time thought in his heart, who would want to kill him? The Guard? Nanjing Xungui? Landlords and gentry? These people's interests are damaged, and they all have the motive to do it.

It seems that these people are keeping a close eye on themselves, and they will make a move at the first opportunity, but Zhu Cihong is not afraid at all, the road he wants to take is destined to be a bloody storm.

If the birth of a great man needs to step on countless corpses, then I would rather have more ordinary people who bring disaster to the country and the people!

In the midst of thinking, the situation in the field has become more and more favorable to their own side, although several brocade guards are gradually slowing down and unable to parry, but the guards of the brave guard battalion who have experienced a hundred battles are killing more and more fiercely, accompanied by a scream, the men in black fell one after another.

The young banner of the brocade guard was very brave, and the black-clothed corpse was already lying at his feet, and he shuttled between several black-clothed assassins with a quick knife in his hand, and he was able to deal with it easily, and from time to time he went down with a knife to take away a person, and several black-clothed assassins who were just about to rush through the defense line to attack Zhu Cihong finally all died tragically under his embroidered spring knife.

Before long, the battle was coming to an end, and at the cost of losing four Jinyi guards and two Brave Guards, most of the Assassins were killed and wounded.

As soon as the black-clothed leader saw that the situation was not good, he whistled, meaning to retreat quickly, and the group of black-clothed assassins left their opponents and prepared to flee, and several of them were caught on the spot.

Zhu Cihong said: "Ask who sent them!" ”

Li Tingbiao was about to interrogate, but several captured assassins had already bitten the poison hidden behind their teeth and died.
