Chapter 848: Failed Assassination
"Boom, boom!"
"Boom, boom!"
When the terrifying artillery fire rang out, people thought it was fireworks to celebrate the strength and well-being of the empire.
But when the rostrum on the parade ground exploded, when the flying flesh and blood splashed on people's faces, when the noise of artillery fire shattered the seats and deafened the ears, people realized that this was not a celebration, this was a massacre.
The fleet, which was supposed to pass through the parade ground and land at the base outside the city, was supposed to show off the strength of the empire and show the strength of its subjects, but suddenly attacked, frantically strafing the parade ground below.
Under the indiscriminate attack, you can only rely on luck to dodge, the rostrum is in chaos, the guards are shouting loudly, the people who were hit are miserable cries for help, the smoke and dust are billowing and the flesh and blood are broken, and you can't understand what happened until you die.
As soon as the chaos started, Takato knew that the situation had developed in an uncontrollable direction, but now it was too late to say anything.
It is imperative that the emperor be killed and create great chaos, otherwise nothing will be possible.
But where is the Emperor?
Under the chaotic scene, the sky is full of dust, and there are detritus left by the bombing everywhere, people are stacked on top of each other, people are against people, at this time it is impossible to distinguish between the high and the low, and no matter whether you are a man or a woman, whether you are a noble person or an ordinary person, everyone is equal in the face of life and death.
Even the royal guards turned into headless flies, shouting "Your Majesty" in panic, but they couldn't find the emperor's location.
If there is anyone in the entire parade field who can stay awake in such chaos and lock on to a target, it must be Gao Yuan.
Before the bombing started, Gao Yuan had already reacted, and his superpowers spread and locked on Huang Enhao.
The Emperor of the Empire was indeed a little unstoppable, although a cannonball landed less than ten paces away from him, knocking him to the ground. But he got up quickly, and even asked Huang Mingjie, who also fell to the ground, if he was injured.
The sound of the guards shouting was heard in his ears, but Huang Enhao did not answer.
The emperor did not answer, and suddenly he did not know how many enemies there were, and he did not know if there were killers around. The more chaotic the situation, the safer it is for the emperor himself, and even the emperor who can't be found by the guards, let alone if there is a killer hiding nearby.
As a suspicious emperor by nature, Huang Enhao doesn't trust anyone except his sister and personal eunuchs, not even the princes.
But this time, the emperor showed kindness.
Maybe he thinks that Huang Mingjie is the glory of the empire, or maybe his conscience finds that his father's love is bursting, in short, the emperor grabbed Huang Mingjie and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your father will protect you." ”
Huang Mingjie was already frightened, although he had experienced a lot of war scenes these days, but every time it was a performance arranged by Gao Yuan.
In the battle, those artillery fires avoided Huang Mingjie's flagship as if he had eyes, and although he personally charged forward in each battle, it was like watching a fireworks show, and he never felt the real cruelty.
Until this moment, Huang Mingjie's eardrums were buzzing with the shock wave of the cannonball, and he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
What made Emperor Mingjie even more disadvantaged was that the fleet had moved, but he missed the best opportunity to assassinate the emperor. Once the emperor is protected, this plan will fail completely.
The end of failure, Huang Mingjie can imagine it with his ass, so he only has one thought left in his mind: It's over, I'm going to die!
At this moment, Huang Mingjie's hand was grabbed, and the emperor's voice came from his ears, a rare kindness.
Huang Mingjie was slightly stunned and ecstatic.
The joy is not the kindness of the father, but the missed opportunity to return.
Born in the emperor's family, he is destined to not understand what the father is kind and filial to the son. Stories of fathers eating sons for power, and sons killing their fathers, are not uncommon in every civilization, in every era, and in every court.
Almost without thinking, Huang Mingjie pulled out the short knife hidden in his boots with his backhand.
When others enter the parade ground, they all have to go through security checks again and again to make sure that they are not carrying weapons with them.
Huang Mingjie is a prince, so naturally he doesn't need this step, so he can hide a short knife close to him.
With the knife in hand, he is bold, he has forgotten all his fears, and Huang Mingjie has only one thing in his heart: kill him, I will be the emperor!
I am the Emperor!
I want to be the emperor!
The thought in his heart was like a devil, shouting in Huang Mingjie's ear, driving him to swing a short knife and stab Huang Enhao's chest fiercely.
Huang Enhao was about to take Huang Mingjie to the corner to hide, when suddenly the wind hit his chest, and he couldn't help but be terrified.
Don't look at the fact that after becoming the emperor, he spent all day drinking, and Huang Enhao also practiced. Almost at the same time as the alarm was born, his chest shrank back slightly, and he heard a "snort", the yellow robe on his chest was torn, and the soft armor he was wearing was also heavily cut.
Fortunately, the soft armor is a royal treasure, invulnerable, and although it hurts, it does not hurt the vital point.
Huang Enhao was taken aback and roared angrily: "What are you doing!"
Huang Mingjie struck a blow and shouted happily: "I'm the emperor, I'm going to be the emperor!"
Before the words fell, Huang Enhao's roar sounded in his ears, and the inflated arrogance was instantly extinguished, and his courage came to naught in an instant, his legs were weak and weak, and even the strength to swing another knife disappeared.
Shaking off Huang Enhao's hand, Huang Mingjie shouted in horror: "It's not me, it's not me, I don't know anything, they forced me, it was Gao Yuan who forced me!"
He shouted loudly, turned and ran, not knowing where he wanted to flee.
The sky and the earth are big, under the imperial power, where can you go?
There may be only one answer, Huang Mingjie only ran a few steps, and the second round of salvos in the sky began again.
Everything happened in the moment of lightning.
From the firing of the fleet to the chaos on the parade ground, to the assassination of Huang Enhao by Huang Mingjie, the whole process took less than ten seconds.
At this moment, the fleet opened fire again, and it was still an indiscriminate row of artillery, and the condescending strafing of the naval guns, which were not very powerful in the universe, fell to the ground and was a deep pit, and the people who were smashed were wiped out in an instant, and their bones were shattered!
Among them, seven or eight shells fell straight towards the rostrum, and everyone shouted in surprise to dodge backwards, and then Huang Mingjie panicked and ran straight to the landing point of the shells.
With a loud "boom", a cannonball hit Huang Mingjie impartially, and the huge impact directly tore him to pieces!
Meat was flailing, blood was splashing, and no one even noticed the scene in the chaos.
The so-called glory of the empire, the glory of the royal family, the youngest general in history, are all just jokes.
Even in the writings of historians in the future, they did not bother to mention the name of Huang Mingjie. Because no one knows what role he played in this earth-shattering upheaval.
