"Escort, where is the guard, hurry up and escort!"

Chu Yi, as the king of the Ming Dynasty, has his own royal frame, and now he was suddenly bombarded, and the guards around him immediately divided into two groups, one of which was frantically coming towards Chu Yi's location, clearly wanting to resist the artillery fire for Chu Yi with his flesh and blood, while the other part was heading straight to the merchant ships that were firing cannonballs frantically.

In the midst of the smoke of gunpowder, Chu Yi's expression was calm, with his hands behind his back, his figure was fluttering, flickering left and right, allowing the fragments of the cannonball to fly around, but none of them could hurt Chu Yi, not even the corners of his clothes.

With a ding, a silver needle shot out, but it blocked a fragment of a cannonball, blocking the fatal blow for Yu Dayou.

With Chu Yi's cultivation, even in the rain of bullets, unless he wants to die, the firearms and shells of this era cannot threaten his safety.

Of course, if it is the kind of modern cannonball and barrage, even if Chu Yi cultivates a step higher, it will only be torn apart.

However, Chu Yi looked at the cannonballs that exploded around him, and his expression gradually became gloomy.

This is a flowering shell, especially feeling the power of the cannonball, which is simply a flowering bomb that has been improved by the people he arranged.

Although this shell is not a top secret, the shell is guarded by a special person, so it is unlikely that it will appear in the private sector at all.

However, now the person who assassinated him was able to take out such a flowering bullet that could be called a big killer weapon in the Ming army to deal with him, which means that the flowering bullet has flowed out.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when he really faced it, Chu Yi was full of murderous intent in his heart.

Even if he kills more officials, he is not capable of replacing all officials, and even if he replaces all officials, can he still guarantee that these new officials will be honest and law-abiding, and will serve the people wholeheartedly?

Even if it was the Chinese military officials of the dynasty, first Chu Yi and then Zhu Houzhao, the two junchen joined forces and failed to replace all the hundred officials in the court, and even now, at least half of the civil and military officials are still used in the court.

Reselling ordnance and materials, Chu Yi didn't think it was strange, some people were bold, for the sake of gold and silver, there was nothing they didn't dare to do, let alone reselling the knives and guns in the armory, even the crossbow, a controlled weapon of killing, was sold as if it was sold, as for this flowering bullet, it was not uncommon for it to be sold and out.

Under the unified artillery bombardment, at least a dozen flowering shells exploded around in unison, and the fragments flew around, if it was an ordinary person, I was afraid that there was no place to bury them.

At least the situation of Xu Bang and other officials who have been affected is very bad, even if the target of those outlaws under Wang Hai is Chu Yi, but they cannot perfectly control the landing point of the cannonballs, and some errors are normal.

But it was this error that allowed Chu Yi to save his life with his cultivation, while Xu Bang and other officials suffered from the pond fish.

Among the dozen officials, at least two lost their lives on the spot, and the others were either extremely embarrassed or injured, and even Xu Bang's arm was cut by a shell fragment.

On the merchant ship, Wang Hai's figure has long disappeared, how can an old fox like Wang Hai put himself in danger.

When the first cannonball was fired, Wang Hai jumped into the sea and disappeared into the harbor like a fish.

As for Wang Hai's subordinates, they were also a group of sturdy people, and by the time Chu Yi's guards drove the boats to board the merchant ships, these people had already fled.

Yu Dayou, who was waiting for the news, looked disgraced and embarrassed at this time, and when he learned from the mouths of those subordinates that he had not caught a single assassin, Yu Dayou was directly furious at a young age, and reprimanded these subordinates and hung his head.

Xu Bang's forehead was covered with cold sweat at this moment, standing in front of Chu Yi, he didn't know that his arm was injured and painful, and he didn't know that he was frightened by this sudden assassination.

He is the prefect of Songjiang Mansion, and the port of Shanghai is under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Mansion, if Chu Yi is attacked in this port, if there is such an accident, he will definitely not be able to stop the wrath of Lei Teng from the Son of Heaven.

People in the officialdom, who doesn't know the deep friendship between Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, if Chu Yi has an accident, it would be strange if Zhu Houzhao, who is the Son of Heaven, didn't go crazy.

Even when he saw that Chu Yi was safe and sound, Xu Bang was also uneasy, as if he had died of his parents, kneeling in front of Chu Yi and kept saying: "The lower official is guilty, the lower official is guilty, please ask His Royal Highness to punish him!" ”

Behind Xu Bang were several officials, who were not unlucky, at least not to be killed by shelling like their colleagues.

At this moment, he knelt there like Xu Bang, with a look of trepidation.

Chu Yi glanced at Xu Bang and the others, waved his hand and said: "This king is not the kind of person who does not know what is wrong, although this matter, although you are guilty of negligence, but the crime is not in you, Your Majesty, I will explain it." ”

"Your Highness is merciful, Your Highness is merciful......"

Several officials thought that they would definitely be finished this time, and even if they were not held accountable, they were afraid that their official uniforms would be taken off.

But what they didn't expect was that Chu Yi was so good at talking, and he didn't mean to hold them accountable.

Chu Yi glanced at Xu Bang and said, "Lead the way in front of the head, and take this king to rest!" ”

Here Xu Bang hurriedly led Chu Yi to the manor they had prepared to rest, it seemed that he was stimulated by the shelling, but Xu Bang was a little worried about whether there would be any problems with the manor they had prepared, so Xu Bang took Chu Yi with him, but on the other hand, he sent someone back quickly, and then ordered someone to search the manor carefully to prevent assassins from sneaking in.

The entire port was completely cordoned off, and the soldiers who had been escorting a huge amount of wealth were now left only a part of the fleet to guard the incoming ships, and a part of them came to the port to dig three feet into the ground to arrest suspicious people.

On a merchant ship, a figure sat there, his face was full of joy and put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and muttered in his mouth: "The big thing is done, even if Chu Yi has the means to reach the sky, it will be impossible to escape the cover of artillery fire, Chu thief, you can't dream that you will die under the gunpowder developed by your own people!" ”

It could be seen that this person was very proud, and seeing that Chu Yi was overwhelmed by a piece of gunsmoke, this person concluded that Chu Yi must have died under the cover of artillery fire.

It was not just one person who was secretly staring at this scene, after all, there was more than one person who went to see Wang Hai before, although everyone couldn't tell each other's details, but they had some guesses about each other's identities.

At this time, someone was angry and smashed the clairvoyant mirror in his hand against the wall.

With a click, the extremely valuable clairfront mirror shattered into pieces and scattered all over the place.

"Damn, can't you kill him like this?"

Obviously, this person saw Chu Yi's figure through the clairvoyant mirror, obviously he never thought that under the shelling, Chu Yi would still be standing there alive.

You must know that in order to assassinate Chu Yi this time, they spent a lot of effort, and even the flowering bomb was dredged up by one of them, and only then did they get dozens of bombs.

I thought that this time I was stable, but I didn't expect that the artillery would come down, but Chu Yi was safe and sound.

A group of soldiers around were boarding merchant ships one after another to forcibly search, and any suspicious people were tied up and taken away without saying a word.

The scene of Chu Yi being shelled in the harbor was seen in the eyes of everyone, and in this case, the fool knew that Chu Yi must be thunderous and angry.

In the face of these officers and soldiers, honest cooperation is enough, if anyone dares to resist, even if they are not the ones who assassinated Chu Yi, in this limelight, I am afraid that there will be no good end.

The county seat of Shanghai is not too big, but because of the existence of the port, with the opening of the sea, a large number of maritime merchants gathered, so that the county seat is very prosperous.

A rather elegant and quiet manor appeared in sight, and Xu Bang, who was leading the way in front, said to Chu Yi: "Your Highness, this is the mansion of an old imperial history, but the descendants of the old imperial history did not succeed, lost the family business, and sold this piece of family business to Meng Yi, a wealthy merchant in the city, Meng Yi has always admired His Royal Highness, and specially cleaned this mansion to welcome His Highness." ”

Chu Yi frowned, what a character Xu Bang is, he has been quietly paying attention to the change in Chu Yi's expression, and now seeing Chu Yi's brows frowning slightly, he reacted and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, this Meng Yiren is a well-known good man in Shanghai County, who has been building bridges and paving roads for more than ten years, helping the government to help the victims, and he is the leading good man in the entire Shanghai County, loved by the people, and his prestige is so high that even the villagers in the countryside can't compare with it." ”

Chu Yi was surprised: "Oh, I never thought that there were such good people in this county. ”

His footsteps paused slightly, and he only heard Chu Yi say: "Since this is the case, this king will see Meng Yuanwai!" It's better to thank him personally, after all, this mansion is the private property of the Meng family! But this king wants to admit his feelings. ”

Xu Bang was slightly stunned and said: "Xia Guan first thanked His Highness on behalf of Meng Yuanwai, I believe that Meng Yuanwai would be very excited if he knew that His Highness was willing to give him a chance to meet." ”

Saying that, Xu Bang nodded to a cronie behind him and said, "Chen Bantou, you immediately go to find Meng Yuanwai, and then tell Meng Yuanwai that His Royal Highness summoned him and asked him to come quickly!" ”

The Meng family's mansion

At this moment, the Meng family is a piece of white flowers, hanging filial piety cloth, and in the mourning hall, an old servant is carefully putting a head and a corpse together.
