"Such a great opportunity, we must not let it go!"

Mandardo's face was hideous, no matter how much success rate there was, it was rare for Emperor Ming to come out with such a small number of people, if he let go of this opportunity, the regent would definitely blame him if he knew.

"Up, kill the Ming Emperor!"

With a wave of his hand, Mandardo and the three thieves beside him, a total of four, desperately pounced towards Zhu Ci, who was more than twenty meters away.

At this time, Zhu Ci was only protected by nine brocade guards, and it seemed that the defense was not strong.

"Assassin! Protect the Emperor! At the same time, the nine brocade guards spotted Mandardo and the others who were rushing in.

Although there are only four people on Mandala's side, they are all extremely skilled in martial arts among the Manchurians, Mandala is confident, and he will not fall behind the nine Jinyi Wei masters around Zhu Cijiao, as long as he can kill Zhu Cijiao before the Jinyi Guard commands Peng Cheng and others to return to help, he will win.

Zhu Ci stared at Mandado and the others who rushed in without panic, and he had no awareness of being assassinated.

Zhu Ci staggered and pushed Chen Xiuxiu aside expressionlessly, snorted coldly and took the initiative to greet Mandado and the other four.

Manda was so overjoyed, the Ming Emperor was so arrogant, he took the initiative to send it to the door, and he could just take the opportunity to kill him.

When he was about to kill Mandarta, Zhu Ci stumbled and pulled out the dagger hidden from his waist, and slashed at Mandado's fist fiercely.

Mandardo had to withdraw his fist and dodge the dagger that Zhu Ci swung at him.

However, the opportunity had been lost, and Zhu Ci's dagger was extremely tricky, almost following Mandado's trick to dodge.

Manda was cold all over his body, he never thought that the seemingly weak Ming Emperor was actually a man-eating tiger, and even if his martial arts were not as high as him, he was definitely not much weaker.

"Whew!"

The piercing of the garment around Mandatta's waist.

had to take a few steps back, Mandardo's face was extremely ugly, and he underestimated the Ming Emperor.

He also quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist, but unfortunately, before he could attack Zhu Ci again, two brocade guards had already surrounded him one left and one right.

Mandaduo's martial arts skills were very high, and he was only a little lower than the highest Ao Bai among the Manchus, and the two brocade guards who surrounded him were defeated and retreated. However, no matter how powerful Mandardo is, he is just a straight person, and his other three subordinates are not as high as his martial arts, and they are also besieged by two Jinyi guards, but they only have the power to parry and not the power to fight back.

The situation reversed in an instant, and Mandata and the others went from suddenly jumping out to assassinate to being hunted prey.

Zhu Ci looked at all this with a sneer, although he was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, don't really think that he is a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch.

"Kill! Capture the thief alive! Zhu Ci hesitated and ordered, and together with one of the remaining brocade guards beside him, he besieged Mandado, intending to capture him alive.

Mandardo wanted to vomit blood, he thought it was a godsend, and jumped out to assassinate the Ming Emperor regardless of his own exposure, but in just twenty breaths, the situation turned into himself being hunted, which was too tragic!

"Kill! Protect the Emperor! "Zhu Ci didn't look at it as a microsuit when he came out this time, but there were not only more than a dozen people such as Peng Cheng around him, but also another wave of people and horses secretly to protect him, and a signal flare was also shot into the sky at the moment when Zhu Ci was attacked, and the soldiers and horses of Nanjing City were also killing this place.

In the alley, the four thieves who Peng Cheng and others were also resolute returned to this side.

Mandata was full of heart and gall, and the situation was urgent, he must flee immediately, otherwise once besieged, he would not be able to escape, and the whole plan that had been set up would be destroyed because of his capture, and he would be a sinner of the Qing Dynasty.

Mandado gritted his teeth, ignoring the fierce blows of Zhu Cicheng and the other three Jinyi guards, after hitting two blows in a row, he found an opportunity to escape from the siege in an instant, and escaped over a wall.

At this time, the dozens of meters of brocade guards in the shadows all surrounded and surrounded several thieves.

"Chase!" Zhu Ci stared at the direction of Mandarto's escape and ordered a part of the men and horses to pursue.

The three thieves were quickly captured, but unfortunately they were all full of dead soldiers, who had received special training and could not allow themselves to be captured, and they had committed suicide by poisoning themselves a moment before they were captured.

The same is true of the four thieves captured by Peng Cheng and others in the alley, who bit their mouths and committed suicide at the last moment.

Looking at the corpses of the seven thieves, Zhu Ci's face was not good-looking.

"It seems that the people are in a hurry!" Zhu Ci muttered.

With the demise of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, sooner or later there will be another battle between the Ming and the Manchus, and Dolgon must have known this a long time ago, and planted a large number of spies in Nanjing City early, not only stealing the design drawings of the field artillery, but also starting Chen Xiuxiu's idea.

Zhu Ci couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Chen Xiuxiu's genius was known by the Manchurians, so he wanted to arrest Chen Xiuxiu, or was it for Chen Xin, the head of the Firearms Bureau?

Zhu Ciji had reason to believe that the Manchurians must have known about the research and development of the primer of the new gunpowder of the Firearms Bureau, and knew that these two things had been successfully developed and were trying to steal them.

Zhu Ci staggered to look at Chen Xiuxiu and found that Chen Xiuxiu didn't seem to have recovered from the shock just now.

"Miss Xiuxiu, this is an eventful time now, I hope you don't come out and walk around at will for a period of time in the future, and don't give thieves any chance!" Zhu Ci said.

"Huh?" Chen Xiuxiu looked at Zhu Ci with wide eyes, and said obediently: "Oh, don't worry, the emperor will be obedient." ”

Chen Xiuxiu was indeed frightened, but part of the reason was that she was shocked by Zhu Ci's bravery, she never thought that Zhu Ci's martial arts were so high, and as the emperor, she also had such high martial arts, Chen Xiuxiu felt a sense of pride in her heart, and her heart was hot, as if Zhu Cixiu's martial arts were high or not had a lot to do with her.

The girl's mind is hard to fathom.

Zhu Ci didn't care what Chen Xiuxiu was thinking, and ordered the two brocade guards to protect their master and servant to go back, and he didn't have the heart to continue playing, so he rushed back to the palace and summoned Li Yan and others into the palace to discuss.

What happened in the Firearms Bureau two days ago and what happened to Chen Xiuxiu today are combined, and things are not simple, and when the new type of firing rifle and new type of artillery are about to be mass-produced and reequipped with the Ying Long Army, we must step up our precautions.

We should not only step up our precautions, but also take the initiative to attack and try by all means to wipe out all the secret agents in Nanjing and eliminate all future troubles.

Firearms Bureau, Chen Xin immediately rushed back home from the Firearms Bureau when he learned that his granddaughter was ambushed by thieves on the street and was saved by the emperor who was passing by Weifu.

Chen Xiuxiu was waiting for Chen Xin to come back, as soon as Chen Xin stepped into the house, Chen Xiuxiu greeted him, and there was no panic on his face that he had just encountered a thief.
