Chapter 307: Banquet Assassination (for the alliance leader Scarlet Baron)

Looking at the scene, Queen Zhang and Queen Zhou looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at Chongzhen on the side.

Chongzhen also had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't know if he was pretending or being sincere.

At this moment, a circular flying cover flew towards Zhu Cihong, only to hear a sonorous sound, the flying cover was hit by Li Hu's knife, and when it touched a eunuch next to him, the eunuch's head was cut off on the spot, and blood sprayed directly, which frightened everyone.

With a piercing scream from several palace maids, the entire Imperial Palace immediately became chaotic, and the surrounding eunuchs, palace maids, and the two concubines of Emperor Chongzhen were also frightened and scattered.

All the officials left their seats and hid under the table, some wanted to run out of the Imperial Palace, but they all stopped in front of the golden steps, even Xue Guoguan and Yang Sichang were stunned for a while, the emperor was still in the palace, what to run?

Before the blow was successful, several eunuchs serving tea and pouring water at the banquet suddenly attacked, and they all attacked Zhu Cihong.

Those seven or eight eunuchs were all serving the ministers just now, but now they are not humble and docile, but their eyes are shining, holding weapons, and they look like masters.

Li Hu helped Zhu Cihong and shouted in a low voice: "Protect the crown prince!" ”

The seven guards around Zhu Cihong stood behind Zhu Cihong on the left and right, and immediately formed a small circle formation.

Everyone's hand reached into the robe, and the revolver hidden on his body was tightened, although it was said that it was not allowed to carry weapons in the Golden Palace, but Zhu Cihong obviously would not abide by this rule, not only that, but he also had to be fully armed.

Each of the guards was dressed in inner armor, and carried two revolvers, a saber, and two grenades, which were ready for the unexpected, but fortunately, the wide clothes of this era were enough to cover them.

Since the fight started, there was no need to hide anything, Zhu Cihong and the guards immediately flashed off their coats, took out their respective sabers, and attacked the eunuchs who were killed.

This voice also seemed to remind Wang Dehua, and he immediately screamed: "There are assassins! Hurry up and protect the emperor! ”

After hearing Wang Dehua's shout, the officials hurriedly left their seats, caught up with the golden steps, and came to Emperor Chongzhen, saying that they were escorting.

Xue Guoguan and Yang Sichang finally reacted, Xue Guoguan came to the middle, and said loudly: "Hurry up!" ”

Zhu Cihong sat calmly in his seat and frowned, these eunuchs are very skilled, they are ruthless, they are obviously all practicing families, it seems that someone has already planned to assassinate him.

stared at the people on the Golden Palace, hoping to see some clues from their expressions, and thought in their hearts, is this a conspiracy trap arranged by Chongzhen?

If this is the case, then why did he pull all his family members up and kill his son in front of the family, he shouldn't be able to do this kind of thing.

Zhu Cihong looked at Chongzhen, only to see that he was frightened, his face was slightly pale, if he pretended, then his acting skills could definitely win an actor.

So who will it be?

The sound of "clanging" guns and swords clashing was endless, all of them were a fighting style of attacking and not defending, fighting for their lives, and striving to kill Zhu Cihong in a short period of time.

The ladies in the palace had never seen such a bloody scene, and they were so frightened that they screamed again and again, and several little princes and princesses were also frightened and cried loudly.

Empress Zhou said eagerly: "Come over the emperor, come quickly, save the prince!" ”

Although Chongzhen was very frightened after being frightened, he was quite calm on the surface, and he shouted: "Where are all the Jinyi guards dead?" Take down the Assassin quickly! ”

In the main hall, the other officials hid far away, dazed and at a loss, and no one knew who was behind it.

Zhu Cihong gave Xu Sheng a look, and Xu Sheng immediately understood and went to the outside of the hall to send a signal.

A eunuch-looking humane: "Hurry up and kill the prince of Mingguo." ”

As he spoke, his figure jumped up, like a goshawk and a rabbit, raised his short sword, and slashed at Zhu Cihong.

In front of Zhu Cihong, two personal guards also stepped forward to protect Zhu Cihong and face the opponent.

Only two crisp weapons cracked, and the two guards cracked their weapons and were blown away, this leader was obviously a master, and he was still using a sword.

The guards didn't dare to use firearms, for fear of injuring others by mistake, and here were either royal families or important ministers of the court, and they couldn't eat any of them and walked around.

"Choke!" With a dragon roar, Li Hu pulled out the Dragon Treasure Knife, his body was vertical, and the sword light turned into a long rainbow and slashed towards the man.

The main hall was suddenly cold, the sword was vertical and horizontal, and among the sword light and sword shadows, there were more than ten exchanges in a blink of an eye, and the two figures suddenly separated, and the person turned upside down and retreated to the golden steps, and Li Hu also took a few steps back.

Li Hu deceived himself again, and after a few swords of hard practice for many years, the other party spurted out a mouthful of blood, supporting the ground with his sword, and his body was about to fall.

Li Hu stared at the fake eunuch on the golden rank and said, "It turns out that you are full of people. ”

The chieftain had a wound on his left shoulder, his right rib, and his cheek, and blood flowed out, staining the eunuch's robes he was wearing, but the eunuch's hat had fallen off, revealing the bare crown of his head and the pigtail of money coiled around his head.

The leader's face did not change, and said: "Let you die today, and the Jingshi will immediately belong to my Daqing Dynasty......"

"Bang!"

Before he finished his words, he only heard the sound of a gunshot, and a blood-red hole appeared on his forehead, and then the whole person also fell backwards, it turned out that he was knocked down by Zhu Cihong with a shot.

No matter how high your martial arts are, it's not a one-shot knock-down, if one shot is not enough, then two shots!

The truth that the villain died from talking too much was perfectly interpreted at this moment, and when Zhu Cihong heard that these assassins were Manchu Qing Dynasty Xiaozuo, he shot without hesitation, and killed an enemy who looked very strong in front of him with one shot.

Several other fake eunuchs couldn't help but be surprised, this leader was a master of a few years, but he didn't expect to die in the hands of Zhu Cihong in one fell swoop.

All the assassins were anxious, each raised the short sword in his hand, grabbed it both, and pounced on Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong raised his hand and shot two more shots, and the two of them immediately fell to the ground, a blood hole appeared in their chests, and at the same time, several guards around Zhu Cihong also raised their short guns.

This time, a few of them also knew that it was powerful, and they couldn't help but be a little frightened, no one dared to make a move on Zhu Cihong, but hurriedly found a table and chair behind them to cover it.

At this time, a large number of brocade-clothed guards poured into the Imperial Palace, surrounding all the assassins.

Several Manchu blood droplets jumped up the golden steps, raised their hands, and flew out of their sleeves a few cold stars, and in an instant, several brocade guards fell down.

Although the number of people was larger than that of the Qing court, the Qing court side was all masters, fighting each other, and the fight was inseparable.

Zhu Cihong also knew that it was useless to let his own guards go up in this kind of battle of the masters of the rivers and lakes, and in the melee between the two sides, the guards did not dare to shoot easily.

The battle in the hall was fierce, and many brocade guards died, and all the officials instinctively dodged to both sides, leaving only dozens of empty table seats and a table full of wine in the main hall.
