"Close your eyes." A low voice rang out in the ears of the sand dragon, and he immediately closed his eyes and turned his head away. Even so, the sudden light still made him feel very bright, even through his eyelids.

This is someone throwing a couple of flashbangs. This is a special weapon specially prepared for this operation, and it is actually some magnesium powder added to the gunpowder powder. Magnesium is chemically very active, and when burned, it emits a very strong light, so for a long time, this thing was used as a flashing lamp. In many old documentaries, the sprint records are kept on the camera in their hands, and at the same time a puff of white smoke rises, which is burning magnesium strips as a flash. Magnesium is widely available on the earth, but it was not until the 19th century that it was produced on a large scale. Even the first time it was made was not until the eighteenth century. However, to be honest, to make this metal, the difficulty is not as great as generally imagined, if there is no high requirement for purity, directly mix the powder of bitter soil (that is, magnesium oxide) and carbon powder to obtain less pure metal magnesium. In fact, for the first time, humans obtained magnesium metal, using such means. The purity of the magnesium obtained in this way is very poor, and if you want to use it to make alloys or something, it is definitely not possible. But it's still okay to burn it. In the dark, the light emitted by the violently burning magnesium powder can temporarily blind the enemy, and even considering that the princes are all so-called "Ouchi masters" or something, it is difficult to react effectively after being attacked like this.

In fact, this weapon, which was beyond the imagination of the people of the time, did not perform as well as it did in its first battle, because it was not properly stored (magnesium powder is very easy to oxidize on its own, so it is very important to store it in a closed space. Three of the six flashbangs thrown were not too bright. But the remaining three were enough to blind the non-titanium eyes of those targets.

After the flashbang went out, several people next to the sand dragon launched another round of attacks with crossbow arrows, which were all lowered to shoot at the feet of those brocade guards, which obviously greatly reduced the hit rate of the shot, but also minimized the possibility of accidental injury.

Of course, because of the short shooting distance, and the level of the so-called "Ouchi master" of my Ming Dynasty, it is actually far from being comparable with some movies and television in later generations. Most of the personnel of my Ming Jinyi Guard are hereditary, and their training level is actually very limited, and they also lack the tempering of the real battlefield, and in the face of the sudden blindness, they can't make any reasonable reactions in a panic, let alone listen to the wind and defend the position and hide the hidden weapon or something. So after this round of shooting, there were still five or six people who were shot.

The eunuch who was leading the way was hit by an arrow in the calf and fell, and as a result he fell down on the lantern, which burned and set his clothes on fire, and the eunuch rolled on the ground with a scream.

By this time, the sand dragon had already picked up his spear and rushed out. In front of him, a brocade-clothed guard was waving the embroidered spring knife in his hand indiscriminately, while shouting something, as if it was "protecting His Royal Highness Yongwang" or something else, Sha Zilong didn't care about what he shouted, and directly stabbed it, hitting the brocade-clothed guard in the chest, and immediately knocked him to the ground. Sha Zilong didn't look at him anymore, shook his wrist, pulled out the tip of the spear, and stabbed at another brocade guard next to him.

Sha Zilong pulled out the tip of his spear and looked around, only to see that in this almost blink of an eye, all the eunuchs and brocade guards had fallen to the ground, and only the person who looked like a prince wearing a crown stood there trembling with a frightened face.

"The grass people and others meet the eternal king Chitose." The leader of this squad for this operation is old. Hu walked over and said to the trembling prince. Although it was said to be a visit, he didn't actually bow down, just bowed slightly, anyway, the whole time, Zhu Cizhao's eyesight had not recovered, and he couldn't see anything.

"You, you are...... Is it a rogue? After hearing this voice, Zhu Cizhao finally mustered up the courage to ask. Although he couldn't see anything, he could hear the shouts in the battle just now, and the screams of the brocade guards when they were constantly killed.

"The grass people and the others are not rogues, they are here to save the prince and avoid the rogues." Old. Nonsense.

"Then you ......" Zhu Cizhao remembered those brocade guards and eunuchs, if these people were really trying to save themselves, then why did they kill them, but he didn't dare to continue asking.

"The grass people and others want to take His Highness to a very secret place, this place can't hide so many people." The voice replied, "The capital can no longer be defended, if these people are alive and have no place to hide, it will easily fall into the hands of the thieves, and at that time, if they can't bear the punishment and tell the location of His Highness, it will be dangerous, so the grass people and others will take it upon themselves to send them back to heaven first, lest they pollute their discipline when they get it." ”

This is very arrogant and very strong. And the voice of the person who said this also carried a kind of banter and a hidden pleasure and malice. Zhu Cizhao felt this pleasure and malice, he trembled all over, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted.

In the darkness, a hand grabbed his still trembling wrist, and he heard the voice say, "Please Your Highness hurry up and get into the sedan chair and follow us, the thief is very close to here, maybe he will come when he hears the movement." At this time, Zhu Cizhao heard the sound of a few people coming over, and then there was the sound of something being put down beside him, which sounded like a sedan chair.

Then Zhu Cizhao was helped into the sedan chair by the man, and then he heard the sound of the sedan curtain being lowered, and then the sedan chair was lifted. Obviously, the two people who carried the sedan chair had never carried the sedan chair before, and they ran fast listening to the footsteps, but the sedan chair swayed so much that Zhu Cizhao could only ensure that he would not be turned upside down by holding the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands.

Fortunately, the bumpy time was not long, and after a while, the sedan chair fell again. The sedan curtain was lifted, and a hand reached in, grabbed Zhu Cizhao's wrist, and helped him walk out of the sedan chair.

At this time, Zhu Cizhao's eyes had recovered a little, after all, the old. The magnesium powder in the flashbangs used by Hu and Sha Zilong is not pure enough, and the brightness is far from being comparable to the real flashbangs in later generations, so Zhu Cizhao can already see things by this time.

Zhu Cizhao noticed that he was now in a house with a closed door and thick curtains, and a whale oil lamp was lit in the house, and with the help of the light of the whale oil lamp, he also saw the people standing next to him clearly for the first time.

Holding his hand was a medium-sized man with a goatee, who looked to be in his thirties. On the other side of him was a tall, lean man, whose hands were unusually long, one hanging down almost to his knees, and the other holding a spear whose tip looked wet and bloodstained.

Zhu Cizhao couldn't help but be taken aback. A little farther away, a fat man was uncovering a piece of the floor, revealing the opening of a black hole.

"His Royal Highness the Eternal King." The fat man straightened up, then bowed down and said, "Now the thieves have broken through Beijing." I'm afraid that His Highness will soon be searched all over the city. The villain is a smuggler, there is a cellar where things are hidden, it is very secret, now only the wronged highness first hides here for a period of time, and when the king recovers Beijing in the future, or the thief's search for His Royal Highness is relaxed, we will find a way to get out of the city. ”

"Everything...... Everything is up to the heroes. Zhu Cizhao replied.

"In this case, please ask His Royal Highness Yongwang to follow the villain down." The fat man said. After saying that, he jumped into the tunnel, old. Hu helped Zhu Cizhao to walk over, Zhu Cizhao looked down from the tunnel entrance, and saw that the fat man below had lit half of the candle, and by the candlelight, Zhu Cizhao saw that there was more than a person below from the ground. asked him to jump directly like that fat man, Zhu Cizhao really didn't dare, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Your Highness, wait a minute." The fat man placed the candle in his hand on a small platform specially hewn out of the cave wall, and then bent down and lifted a short ladder from the ground.

"Your Highness, you step on the ladder and come down, be careful, the grass people will help you......" In the voice of the fat man, Zhu Cizhao stepped on the ladder and slowly went down to the tunnel. Immediately after, the old. Hu also followed, and the rest of the people stayed on top.

The tunnel is narrow and low, the fat man walks in front with a candle and walks in front, Zhu Cizhao follows behind with a cat's waist, and after walking a period of downhill, it is a short uphill, and then a section of the tunnel in front becomes extremely narrow, so that he can no longer bend forward, but must crawl and walk, after climbing about five or six steps away, the tunnel becomes a little wider, and people can already walk in it.

After walking about fifty or sixty steps, the tunnel came to an end. The fat man stopped, put the candle away again, and then pulled something, and a hidden door suddenly opened on one side of the cave wall.

The fat man picked up the candle, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Cizhao through the door, and then went to an underground secret room. This chamber is about three feet square, and there is a bed in the middle of the chamber, and there are some covers on it. There's a little one next to it

"Your Highness, I have wronged you to hide here during this time." Old. Hu also followed, and said so.

"Your Highness, there is also a small basement here, which is where the pit is located. There's also a small room over there where you can put some food. In addition, Your Highness, although there are vents in this underground, they can't be compared to the ground in any case. Therefore, if it is not necessary, Your Highness should not light the lamp for a long time, or the turbidity will be too heavy and it will be easy to get sick. The fat man also asked on the side.
