After Ji Feng and Zhou Cao returned to the Yinglong army station, they began to arrange men.

Under Zhu Cihong's instructions, the Ying Long Army was divided into two teams, one team of 700 people, and the strongest ones were specially selected, led by Zhou Cao, and the remaining about 2,500 people were led by Ji Feng.

"Brother Ji, the emperor asked you to attack the Duke of Wei, this is a hard errand that makes people's blood boil, and Zhou Cao is envious." After arranging the people, Ji Feng and Zhou Cao gathered together to wait for the order, Zhou Cao remembered the errand assigned by the emperor, and said with blood boiling in his chest.

Although Zhou Cao is honest on the surface, he is actually very bloodthirsty in his heart, and when he talks about fighting and killing, he can't help but feel hot all over, and his face is full of excitement.

Ji Feng glanced at Zhou Cao and said, "Be careful that the wall has ears, be cautious, don't spoil the emperor's big things." ”

Zhou Cao quickly glanced around, smiled awkwardly, and quickly shut up. He also knew the seriousness of the matter, and since Ji Feng had reminded him, just in case, it was better not to discuss it for the time being, and it was not too late to talk about it afterwards.

On the same day, the emperor's palace encountered assassins, and the news of the emperor's anger spread, and the emperor summoned all the generals of the imperial forest army in the palace to severely reprimand, and punished them for standing for a day and a night before stopping.

In the Wei State Mansion, Xu Hongji had a gloomy face.

"I didn't expect the cuckoo to miss, and it caused the emperor to be so angry, I'm afraid it's not easy to start again." Xu Hongji did not have any suspicions, and was not the slightest surprised that Zhu Cihong punished the generals of the Imperial Forest Army and wanted to inspect the Beijing camp in person, but felt that it was normal.

Xu Hongji didn't know that Zhu Cihong had already set up a killing game, and his blood was about to dye Nanjing City red.

The next day, Zhu Cihong was escorted by Zhou Cao and Xu Shouhui, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army of the Imperial Palace, to the Beijing camp outside Nanjing. Xu Shouhui was not surprised that Zhu Cihong arranged for Zhou Cao to lead 700 Ying Long troops to follow the escort, he just sighed that the emperor's trust in their Imperial Forest Army seemed to have decreased a lot because of the assassination incident.

"Xu Shouhui, who are you Wei Guogong?" When he was about to leave the Nanjing City Gate, Zhu Cihong suddenly asked Xu Shouhui.

"Back to the emperor, Wei Guocheng is the uncle of the last general." Xu Shouhui was slightly stunned, and immediately replied.

Zhu Cihong nodded, didn't say anything more, a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes, Xu Hongji actually arranged someone from the Xu family to be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the Imperial Palace, and the deputy general of the Beijing camp is Xu Hongji's son, Zhu Cihong believes that there are definitely more than two people from the Xu family in the Beijing camp and the Royal Forest Army, and Xu Hongji himself has the military power of the Beijing camp, and he also arranged so many people from the Xu family to lead the troops in the Beijing camp and the palace royal forest army, and his ambition really shouldn't die! Zhu Cihong sneered in his heart.

When he was about to arrive in front of the Beijing camp, Zhu Cihong secretly glanced at Zhou Cao, and Zhou Cao nodded slightly.

"The emperor has arrived!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Because Zhu Cihong came to inspect the Beijing camp and made a holy decree in advance, a total of nearly 70 generals above the command of 1,000 people in the Beijing camp gathered in front of the door to bow and greet under the leadership of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei.

"Wei Guogong, please get up!" Zhu Cihong smiled and asked Xu Hongji to get up, although he had the heart to kill Xu Hongji, but before he made a move, he still had to appease him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Hongji, as the person in charge of Beijing, Zhu Cihong wanted to come to inspect, so he naturally had to come to Beijing to arrange it earlier.

Zhu Cihong nodded and walked directly to the Chinese army's big tent in the middle of the camp.

When Zhu Cihong walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhou Cao's hand suddenly waved, one step ahead of Xu Shouhui's Royal Forest Army, and seven hundred soldiers of the Ying Long Army quickly protected the big tent of the Chinese army, and squeezed the palace Royal Forest Army led by Xu Shouhui to the side.

"You deceive people too much!" One of the Royal Forest Army generals who followed scolded angrily.

Xu Shouhui was also so angry with this scene that his face turned black, Zhou Cao and the others were indeed too bullying, their Imperial Forest Army was the emperor's personal guard, but they were squeezed aside.

Zhou Cao glanced at Xu Shouhui and the other royal forest soldiers, and said contemptuously: "You can't even protect the emperor's bedroom, and in such a dangerous place outside the city, there is nothing you can do. ”

"Your assassin's business has nothing to do with our Imperial Forest Army, I want to find the emperor to comment!" The Imperial Forest Army general pointed at Zhou Cao and scolded angrily.

Zhou Cao smiled wickedly and said: "Okay, you guys go in, the emperor has an order, all people above the command of a thousand people must go in, and the emperor has something to reprimand you!" ”

The general and Xu Shouhui were so angry that their faces turned pale, and after snorting coldly, they both walked into the Chinese army's big tent.

"Wei Guogong, you should also go in together." Zhou Cao said with a smile to Xu Hongji and dozens of Beijing generals, his smile was a little crazy.

Xu Hongji didn't know why, at this time, his heart suddenly tightened, looking at the door of the Chinese army's big tent, there was a feeling of shock, which made him suspicious, and he didn't dare to set foot in it, but the emperor was inside, and when he asked him to go in, it was impossible for him not to enter. Xu Hongji gritted his teeth and walked in first.

The big tent of the Chinese army is very large, enough to accommodate more than 100 people, and Xu Hongji and others have gathered in it.

Outside the big tent, seeing that everyone had entered, Zhou Cao came to the back of the big tent of the Chinese army, at this moment two hundred soldiers of the Ying Long Army had already gathered here, Zhou Cao used the handle of his knife to lightly knock twice on a wooden stake supporting the big tent.

Inside the big tent, Zhu Cihong felt two noises behind him, and his eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that Zhou Cao was ready.

"Ahem!" Zhu Cihong coughed lightly twice, stood up, and everyone was calm, waiting for Zhu Cihong's lecture, but it took a while to hear Zhu Cihong speak.

"Stand still, I, I'm about to start talking." Zhu Cihong's palms were a little sweaty, and at such a critical juncture, he couldn't help but be nervous.

Zhu Cihong looked at Xu Hongji and more than a dozen other people, opened his mouth, and finally didn't know how to speak, reprimanding them for being loyal to the monarch and patriotism? But I'm going to kill someone, and it feels too awkward to reprimand me.

Seeing that Zhu Cihong stood there for a long time and didn't start to speak, his expression was weird, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Xu Hongji and the others glanced at each other, Xu Hongji took a step forward and said, "The emperor has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhu Cihong glanced at Xu Hongji, came back to his senses, and nodded approvingly, after this meeting, Zhu Cihong was not nervous, yes, he was going to kill people, and he had to talk nonsense if he was brainless, and it was true to get straight to the point.

Yes, Zhu Cihong is planning to learn from Shandong's method of killing Liu Zeqing, kill the generals and seize the army, first control the Beijing camp and lead the troops into Nanjing City to destroy the Xu family, and capture all the Donglin Party.

"Someone!" Zhu Cihong suddenly shouted violently.

After the big tent, Zhou Cao was also waiting anxiously, but when he heard Zhu Cihong's sudden shout, he was so shocked that the knife in his hand almost fell to the ground, and he quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and after his face was closed, he smiled hideously.

"Poof!" Zhou Cao suddenly opened a big hole in the big tent with his knife, rushed in, and appeared on the right side of Zhu Cihong.

"Puff puff" followed by Zhu Cihong's big tent was slashed by dozens of knives, and nearly a hundred Ying Long troops rushed in to protect Zhu Cihong, and there was a group of Ying Long troops behind them.

At the gate of the "puff puff" big tent, nearly 100 Ying Long troops also rushed in to say that Xu Hongji and others surrounded them.

"You, what are you doing, Your Majesty" Xu Hongji's hairs stood up, and he pointed at Ying Longjun who rushed in in horror, and then looked at Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, conspired to rebel, and he should be punished!" Specially correct the law on the spot, the Xu family and others are regarded as accomplices, and they will correct the law on the spot, and the rest of the people will not die if they kneel and surrender! ”

"No, no! Your Majesty, the ministers did not rebel, there was no rebellion! The minister is wronged, the Xu family has a monstrous contribution to the Ming Dynasty, you can't treat the minister like this! Xu Hongji shouted in horror, he couldn't believe his ears, their Xu family was the founding hero, and half of the country was beaten down by Xu Da, the ancestor of their Xu family, and he also controlled the military power of the Beijing camp, how could the emperor kill if he said it.

Xu Shouhui and the others were also stunned, one by one with wide-eyed eyes in disbelief, nearly eighty generals and leaders were huddled together, because they were meeting the emperor, so they did not have any weapons in their hands, and they all looked at the Ying Long army that surrounded them in horror, like lambs to be slaughtered.

"Kill!" Zhu Cihong coldly spit out a word.

"No," Xu Hongji and the others shouted.

Zhou Cao and the soldiers of the Ying Long Army didn't care about this, Zhu Cihong gave an order, everyone raised their knives and cut down, and suddenly a ball of blood splashed, some people were killed by a knife, and some people were injured and screamed!

Although Xu Hongji has some force, but in the end he is old, and there is no blade in his hand, seeing several Ying Longjun swinging knives at him, he knows that there is no room for maneuver at all, the emperor is determined to kill him, he can only fight to the death to get out of the big tent and call on the soldiers of the Beijing camp to turn the tables.

Xu Hongji dodged the knife slash of a Ying Longjun soldier, and grabbed the hand of a Ying Longjun, ready to snatch a knife to kill the big tent, but there was a fierce knife wind behind him, but it was Zhou Cao who made a move.

Xu Hongji was suddenly startled and dodged, but the clothes on his body were still opened wide, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Ying Longjun is not a vegetarian, the Ying Longjun who was grabbed by Xu Hongji and was about to grab the knife took advantage of Xu Hongji's dodging Zhou Cao's knife wind, twisted his hand, broke away from Xu Hongji's hand, and the steel knife in his hand slashed and hit Xu Hongji's calf.

"Ah," Xu Hongji screamed.

Several Ying Longjun's knives slashed at Xu Hongji at the same time, due to the injury to the calf, Xu Hongji's reaction slowed down, he couldn't dodge, and his body was slashed twice, one in the back and one in the lower abdomen, so seriously injured, Xu Hongji completely lost his combat effectiveness and was hacked to death by Zhou Cao with a knife!

A generation of descendants of the founding of the country, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, was hacked to death, his eyes were round, he didn't blink to death, and he had remorse in his heart, he should have known a long time ago, how could he allow others to snore on the side of the couch, their Xu family controlled the military power of the Beijing camp and tried in vain to get involved in the government, which was a big taboo! The Xu family was destroyed in the hands of his Xu Hongji, how did he face the ancestors and ancestors of the underworld!
