The night is like water, and the moon is like a hook.

The nights in Hangzhou are not cool, and the breezy temperature makes people feel very comfortable.

Zhu Houzhao walked by the lake, with a leisurely look on his face. It's a rare time to relax.

For Zhu Houzhao, after so many years, there is no leisurely time, and some just steal half a day of leisure. Now that's what he looks like.

Glancing at Yang Lian standing beside him, Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile, "Are other places still stable?" Those people didn't move? ”

Zhu Houzhao is talking about other places outside Hangzhou and Zhejiang.

At this time, Zhu Houdao didn't think that if he sealed the city, there would be no news to spread it.

In this era, although the way of delivering messages is backward, it is only slow, not that the delivery of messages is not secretive enough.

Whether it was releasing the pigeons out or passing the news through other means, Zhu Houzhao did not think that Hangzhou City could stop the news.

So Zhu Houzhao didn't plan to hide it. Because I can't hide it.

After the city of Hangzhou was sealed, Zhu Houzhao asked his people to pay attention to other places in Zhejiang. The main thing is to pay attention to the military towns along the coast, and some other places where there are soldiers.

Because Zhu Houzhao knows very well that in this part of Zhejiang, those people were able to encroach on the fields, to a large extent, because of the cooperation of the military. That is to say, the army in Zhejiang has been completely broken, and they are in collusion with local people.

Once the news about what he did in Hangzhou spread, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will do anything irrational.

The left and right are one death, so it's better to gamble. A target as big as oneself here, will arouse the thoughts of countless people.

So Zhu Houzhao has been asking Yang Lian to pay attention to their news. Once someone has a change, their own side can also respond quickly.

Zhu Houzhao didn't think that Zhang Xian, the governor of Zhejiang, would be able to grasp the generals and generals here, because that was impossible.

Don't talk about Zhang Xian, no one can do it, and now these people are just superficially following orders.

If there is a rebellion in Hangzhou, Zhu Houzhao is not surprised. It's not surprising that those generals will do it if they are forced to do it.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no news from our people for the time being. It seems that all parts of the country are relatively stable, and there is no change. Yang Lian opened her mouth and said: "But the slave maid will make people keep an eye on them, and they will definitely not let them do bad things." ”

This trip to Jiangnan is not a happy memory for Yang Lian.

There are always things going on along the way, especially when the gang under his command actually made such a big mistake and made himself lose face in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.

If something happens again this time, then he really won't have the face to stay in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Even if you don't kill yourself to apologize, just find a place to hide yourself.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said with a smile: "Just keep an eye on it, it doesn't matter if there is anything." ”

Just as Zhu Houzhao was about to say something more, there was a sudden chaos in the distance, complicated, and shouting.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Liu Jin, who was standing not far away, and said, "Go and see what's going on." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Liu Jin agreed, then turned around and walked outside.

After a short time, Liu Jin hurriedly walked back, came straight to Zhu Houzhao's side, and said nervously: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is chaos outside." Some people set fire to the city of Hangzhou and killed people everywhere. ”

When he said this, Liu Jin's face was full of worry, and he looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid that someone is going to make trouble." Why don't you let the slaves and maids call some people over? After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's daughter's body cannot be damaged in any way. ”

Glancing at Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao smiled, then turned his head and beckoned not far away.

In the darkness of the night, a man in black leather armor walked over quickly, came straight to Zhu Houzhao's side and knelt down.

The visitor did not speak, but knelt silently.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and asked with a smile, "How long has it been since you fought with this palace?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister doesn't remember. Letting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kill the enemy is a dereliction of duty on the part of the ministers. The man spoke in a very calm tone, as if all the words were spoken in one tone.

Zhu Houzhao smiled, moved his shoulders and said, "But Your Highness doesn't think so." ”

"Give the equipment to the palace and bring a set, the palace has to take a good look, who dares to come to this set with the palace?"

Liu Jin, who was standing on the side, was a little stunned, why did he feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be looking forward to this moment?

Liu Jin also wanted to open his mouth to admonish.

But Zhu Houzhao glared at him directly, and then said: "You go find a set of armor to put on yourself, don't wait to put your life on the line." ”

Liu Jin didn't know what to say, so he could only change his armor obediently.

Soon someone brought a set of equipment.

Black leather armor, black helmets, black knives, everything was black.

Under Yang Lian's service, Zhu Houzhao put the equipment on his body one by one.

Stretching out his hand to hold the long knife, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "Bring a few more to the palace." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." The man said yes, then turned around and walked briskly to get something.

He knew that a knife was not enough for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Because if you fight too hard, the knife will curl up; His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of strength, so he needs more knives.

Soon, someone brought Zhu Houzhao a few more knives.

Glancing at the person beside him, Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and said, "You just hold the knife for the palace." Wait for the fight to begin, and you will give Hongu a knife. When it's time for Hongu to change the knife, you hand the knife over. ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." The man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, they may not be killed here, right?" Yang Lian said with some hesitation: "After all, we have heavy troops outside, if someone can really rush in, then how many people do they have to use?" The army in the entire city of Hangzhou is not enough. ”

Glancing at Yang Lian, Zhu Houzhao said helplessly: "You don't understand it." They set fire to the city, is it just to make the main palace watch a lively? Is there a more worthy target in this Hangzhou city than this palace? They must have come for Hongu. ”

"No matter what they want to do, since they have already done it, then they must be sure that they will be able to rush in front of this palace. Why else would they do it? So we'll just wait. ”

"Besides, it's not hard to guess. There are heavy troops outside, so it can only be a sound attack. ”

Zhu Houzhao stood up and looked around, and then said, "They will come up from the lake." If nothing else, there will soon be dead soldiers outside to attack our station. These people didn't really want to rush in, they were here to die. ”

Sure enough, as Zhu Houzhao expected, it didn't take long for the shouts to kill outside.

Hearing the shouting and killing outside, both Liu Jin and Yang Lian became nervous.

The two of them looked at Zhu Houzhao and said together: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a true god." Their minds have all been fed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

"It's just a simple art of war." Zhu Houzhao said expressionlessly: "This place where we are is surrounded by heavy guards, and it is also the Black Dragon Army of the palace, it is difficult to break through here. So I can only think of other ways, it is surrounded on three sides, only the waterway is not blocked, then it can only come from the waterway. ”

"Even so. They also know that Hongu is a fierce general. Therefore, they will not choose to fight hard, so they can only attack the east and the west, and the darkness will be Chencang. Set fire to the city to attract Zhang Xian's attention, and at the same time mobilize the garrison in Hangzhou to attack our garrison at the same time, and strive to attract all the manpower. ”

"Wait until you get all the people there. The real killers will come from the lake. Because if this palace comes to do this, there is only this way to go, and there is no other choice. ”

"Then His Royal Highness the Prince, let's hurry up and transfer some people over!" Yang Lian said eagerly.

Liu Jin next to him also hurriedly chimed in: "What Father-in-law Yang said is right! The slave and the maid will go and call someone. ”

After looking at the two people, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said helplessly: "Do you still need to call someone?" Since Bengong had already guessed their method, it was naturally arranged a long time ago. You guys are all here honestly, don't walk around. ”

"After all, the sword has no eyes. Hongu doesn't want to be gone after the matter is over, and which of the two of you is gone. ”

The two of them looked at each other helplessly, and then they all went to the side to squat.

It didn't take long for someone to come running. came to Zhu Houzhao's side and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is movement." ”

Zhu Houzhao stood up. Then he spoke. "Come first, and see how you are. This palace has been training you for so long, if you let people rush in front of this palace again, then you will be derelict in your duty. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured that no one will come." The man bowed down and agreed.

Soon there were several small boats on the lake.

After the boat docked, dozens of people jumped out of the boat. They are very careful in their movements, for fear of making a little noise.

The surroundings are horribly quiet.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was sitting in the shadows, holding a long knife in his hand, looking at those people expressionlessly.

Yang Lian and Liu Jin both stood in front of Zhu Houzhao, as if they wanted to block the sharp arrows shot by Zhu Houzhao.

After being pulled to the side impatiently by Zhu Houzhao, the group moved forward quickly, while carefully observing the surroundings.

Wait until they're all ashore. I don't know where a bow and arrow suddenly sounded.

Then came the thud. A man suddenly fell to the ground.

After this life has passed. Everywhere else there was a whoosh sound.

This is not the sound of a bow firing a bow. Rather, it is a crossbow bolt.

Then dozens of people jumped out of the ground and quickly rushed towards the opposite side.

Although they are very fast, their hands are very steady. Each of them had a crossbow in their hand, and it was evident that all they used were repeating crossbows, and the rate of fire was very fast.

Several people alternately covered forward, and six or seven people formed a battle group.

All of them were taken aback. But the response was also very fast.

There was no shouting at all, but several people rushed towards this direction in the shape of arrows.

After seeing this scene, Zhu Houzhao nodded. I have to say that the quality of the other party is very good.

But it didn't really work, because more people came out of my shadows.

These men did not have crossbow arrows in their hands, but they were not wearing leather armor, but black iron armor. All of them were newly cast light plate armor, and without the slightest hesitation, they were very fast towards the past that they were encircling.

The battle looked fierce, but it didn't last long.

After a round of crossbow arrows, more than half of the opponent had actually fallen. There is simply no room for resistance.

Then he was strangled by the infantry, and the knife in his hand slashed at the armor of the infantry, splashing up pieces of sparks, but it had no effect on anything else.

As if realizing that something could not be done, the few people behind turned around and ran towards the lake, preparing to get on the boat and escape.

But at this time. A group of people came up directly from the lake, and these people also carried crossbow arrows in their hands. Without the slightest hesitation, he flew directly towards them.

Several people alternately stepped forward, and the rate of fire was very fast.

It's not that the equipment in their hands is sharp. The strength of these people lies in their ability to accurately identify targets in the dark, allowing them to inflict great damage.

Liu Jin and Yang Lian looked at this scene, their faces were all shocked.

They also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Black Dragon Guard was not easy to mess with, and it could be called a first-class strong army in the world. However, they had never seen the Black Dragon Guard make a move, and neither of them had fought with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although Liu Jin followed Zhu Houzhao to the border pass. But in fact, he didn't go to see the battle either.

Seeing this scene at this moment, the two of them finally realized what it means to be a first-class strong army in the world.

They could see that the Assassins were dead. He doesn't even shout when he is killed, and he is definitely not an ordinary character.

But that's the kind of person he is. is so vulnerable in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Black Dragon Guard. It was nothing short of a one-sided massacre.

Zhu Houzhao stood up expressionlessly. A little disappointed, he said, "It's too weak." Originally, Hongu thought that he could still give Hongu some surprises, at least he could rush to the front of Hongu. Now it seems that Bengong overestimated them, a group of rabble, which disappointed Bengong too much. ”

No one dared to accept Zhu Houzhao's words, because they felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry.

You must know that in order to deal with this incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince changed into armor and took so many knives at the same time. It's just about slashing them when someone rushes over.

But these people have not even walked to the shore. Just die on it.

Who is going to provoke His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time? Then who just doesn't want to die. So no one dared to speak,
