"Zheng Xiang, why do you say there are so many tile guards?"

Looking at the mighty tile spur cavalry, Canghuo asked a little puzzled, the Emperor Taishang was obviously a captured hostage, but the number of guards he enjoyed was amazing, which was completely beyond his previous prediction.

"I'm also worried that there will be an accident on the way to the emperor's royal car."

Zheng Xiang replied softly, he probably guessed what he was guarding against first.

"Besides us, who will do anything to the Emperor?"

Canghuotou obviously didn't realize the core of the problem, and asked in a daze.

"Your Majesty today."

As soon as Zheng Xiang's four words came out, Canghuotou, Wang Neng and others were full of surprise on their faces, after all, for their former low-level miners, the struggle for imperial power was still too far away.

After a short silence, Zheng Xiang continued: "We don't have enough manpower, so we must use the fastest speed to kill the royal position. Canghuotou, you wait and rush forward, Wang Neng and I will drag the left and right side Tartars back to defense! ”

"I understand."

Canghuo nodded solemnly.

"The proprietor has the grace of reinvention for our brothers, and this time it is time to sacrifice his life to repay the kindness, and death must achieve the goal!"

Zheng Xiang's words were not only to Canghuotou, Wang Neng and others, but also to the two hundred miners who carried out the task of killing the king.

The mission of killing the monarch is destined to become a benevolent if it is not successful, and even if it is successful, when the day comes when the matter is exposed, he and others will have to use death to bring the secret to the coffin board.

In a sense, Zheng Xiang and the others have changed from following the guards to dead soldiers!

Zhu Qizhen's convoy moved forward slowly, and when it arrived at the ambush site of Zheng Xiang and others, two hundred horsemen rushed out to cut off the escort team, so that they could not echo from beginning to end. In addition, Canghuo led dozens of the most elite miners to the carriage of Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

"Escort! Escort! ”

When it was discovered that someone had assassinated, Yuan Bin, who was a Jinyi guard, immediately warned loudly.

At the same time, Ha Ming, the Mongolian Jinyi Wei who returned to the Ming Dynasty, shouted in Mongolian to the twenty Vaspur warriors who were guarding the carriage.

They are all elite warriors of the Tile Thorn tribe, and under normal circumstances, there is no problem with one being ten, and the assassination team seems to be robbing and killing with great momentum, but in fact, they do not occupy any advantage in terms of numbers.

As long as your side is not chaotic, you can definitely ensure the safety of the Emperor!

"Where is Yuan Bin, who is going to assassinate me?"

Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the shouting and killing sound from outside, and his first reaction was to quickly call Yuan Bin, who he trusted, to come over and escort him.

"Weichen doesn't know, but judging from the war horse under the other party's crotch, there should be a lot of power behind it."

Yuan Bin jumped into the carriage and blocked the door with his body before he said his speculation.

If only 200 people come to assassinate them, then there are many possibilities, and even horse bandits have a chance. But to gather two hundred war horses to rush into battle, the forces behind it are absolutely amazing, and those who premeditate are either rich or expensive!

"King Servant, it must be King Servant!"

Following the principle of who benefits the most and who suspects the most, those who can have the idea of killing the monarch and put it into action, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu is the first person to do it.

Not only did Zhu Qizhen think so, but Yuan Bin, who heard the name King Yu, had no objection at the moment. Indeed, only Xinjun has such a motive and has such an ability!

"Why, why did I already issue an edict to the throne and give up the throne, and the king still wanted to put me to death?"

"Is sibling affection worthless in his eyes?"

Zhu Qizhen wailed in pain, but before he could wait for this answer, Canghuo Tou had already led the men and horses to the front of the royal carriage, and fought fiercely with the twenty warriors of the Tile Thorn Clan who guarded him.

The cavalry guarding the tile spurs, Canghuotou already felt that the other party was an elite, if it weren't for his two hundred people, who were also brave men selected by Chen Shangong from the Fujian Navy, I am afraid that they would not be able to kill the position of the carriage at all.

As a result, what Canghuotou never expected was that around the carriage of the Emperor Taishang, there were dozens of extremely athletic guards, who formed a line of defense to make it difficult for them to advance an inch.

"Canghuo head, kill it!"

Wang Neng roared angrily at this time, the speed of the elite defense of the five hundred tile spurs was a little faster than expected, and his dozens of people and horses couldn't stop it for long.

"Brothers, rush!"

Hearing Wang Neng's roar, Canghuo's head and neck were bruised, and while shouting, he waved the long knife in his hand and cut off the arm of the Tile Spur Warrior who was blocking him. Then he got up and stepped on the horse's back, borrowed his strength, and jumped with all his might, and actually jumped directly onto the roof of Zhu Qizhen's car.

Without the slightest hesitation, Canghuo slammed his head on the top of the car, and then slashed at Zhu Qizhen, whose face was full of fear in the carriage.

"Rest and hurt my emperor!"

Yuan Bin's family has been born in Jinyi for generations, and as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, he took out the embroidered spring knife and put it in front of Zhu Qizhen, and the two knives collided and sputtered a little spark.

"Rebel to death!"

Ha Ming, who was on the other side, also jumped up from the back of the carriage, and the scimitar in his hand cracked at Canghuo's head. Faced with this scene, Canghuo had to draw his knife to defend himself, and Zhu Qizhen hurriedly hid behind Yuan Bin when he saw this, trembling with fright.

You must know that even after the defeat of Tumubao, in the face of the siege of the soldiers and horses, Zhu Qizhen gritted his teeth and sat on the ground, showing his dignity as a king and did not show weakness in front of the enemy.

Bei Hunt's captive career completely destroyed Zhu Qizhen's once disguised toughness, revealing his cowardly nature. Now as long as he can live, he doesn't care about any imperial prestige.

Cang Huotou can occupy an advantage in force in the face of either Yuan Bin and Ha Ming, but when the two of them attack back and forth, it is almost impossible for him to withdraw and chase Zhu Qizhen.

In addition, the miners who followed Canghuo to rush to the side of the royal carriage were also unable to break through the defense line of the twenty warriors specially arranged by Taishi Yexian, and the situation fell into a stalemate.

Seeing this happening, Zheng Xiang, who was the leader, was full of anxiety and urgency on his face. He tried to send a few brothers to help Canghuotou, but the Tile Thorn cavalry realized the danger of the royal car and charged fiercely without fear of death.

is already at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, not to mention the help of people, and even the defense line that blocks the return of reinforcements is a little undefinable.

If the stalemate was critical enough, then what happened next was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

There was a sudden thunderous sound behind Jiufenggou, and at the same time, an overwhelming white snow mist appeared in the distance. Soon, a number of horsemen rushed over from the snow and mist, and the leader of Boyan Timur took the lead and roared loudly: "Your Majesty, the foreign ministers have come to the rescue, see who dares to rebel!" ”

It is also ironic to say that the enemies who once fought each other on both sides have now become reinforcements to save the driver, and they have also shouted the slogan of rebellion.

It can only be said that there are no wonders in the world.

Looking at the endless cavalry attacking behind him, Zheng Xiang couldn't believe his eyes, the escort team of five hundred horsemen was already very exaggerated, but he never expected that there were countless ambushes hidden in the tile thorns.

Was the Emperor a captive of the Mongols, or did he really become their king?

Many things in this world are coincidentally not written, and the cavalry led by Boyan Timur did not actually come to protect Zhu Qizhen, on the contrary, they followed behind the imperial car, preparing to raid the Yizhou Acropolis of Datong Mansion, and then robbed the Mongolian crown prince Mengke from the side.

However, Zheng Xiang and others chose to assassinate in Jiufenggou, and happened to encounter the Mongolian army that followed behind, and Boyan Timur was now loyal to Zhu Qizhen, and when he heard that the emperor was assassinated, he immediately led his soldiers and horses to escort him, forming a crushing advantage in troops.

"Withdraw! Canghuo Tou and Wang Neng led the brothers to retreat quickly! ”

At this point, it was obvious that the act of killing the monarch could not be completed, and Zheng Xiang immediately gave the order to retreat.

But Canghuotou is already on the top at this moment, Zhu Qizhen is in front of his eyes, as long as he goes further, he can complete the task assigned by Shen Yichen. Even if you die here, as long as you don't disappoint the proprietor, this matter is worth it!

"You guys go first, I'm going to kill this faint king!"

Canghuotou did not obey Zheng Xiang's retreat order, but instead slashed away from Yuan Bin and Ha Ming beside him, and desperately killed Zhu Qizhen.

Seeing that the other party rushed over without fear of death, looking at the bright steel knife, Zhu Qizhen's reaction was also not slow, knowing that resistance and dodging could not save his life, he simply lay on the ground and rolled directly to the bottom of the carriage.

Maybe Canghuo didn't expect that the once high-ranking Emperor Ming would choose such a humiliating and embarrassing way to save his life, and he was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

Just as he was about to grit his teeth and get under the car to continue the pursuit, a galloping horse came to Canghuotou's side, grabbed his arm directly and pulled him to the horse, and then fled towards the jungle with two horses.

"Captain Wan, shall we go after it?"

Seeing the rapid retreat of the assassins, the generals beside Boyan Timur asked.

"We have the important task assigned by the Taishi, spare their dog's life today!"

Boyan Timur said hatefully, if it was at an ordinary moment, he would definitely order to hunt down and help Zhu Qi to eliminate future troubles. But today's main task was to raid the Yizhou Acropolis of the Ming Dynasty, and I could only watch this group of assassins escape.

Shen Yichen, who was in the capital division of the Ming Dynasty, did not know that the operation he arranged to kill the monarch had failed. But to be honest, even if he knows, Shen Yichen probably won't have too many psychological waves.

Because the act of killing the monarch itself is full of a kind of helplessness and gambling, the truly impeccable guide to the direction of the world should be to use the general trend and the people's will, rather than thinking of opportunistic shortcuts.

The former Zhu Qiyu made Shen Yichen not confident that he could keep his throne, so he could only take risks to kill the king.

But the current Zhu Qiyu has made Shen Yichen see his scheming and means as a great tomorrow, even if Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong can return to Beijing safely, it is impossible to easily regain the throne.

The bell must be tied to the bell, and whether this Jiangshan Sheji can hold it depends on Zhu Qiyu himself.

After the court meeting ended, Shen Yichen saw Zhu Yi at the palace gate, and with the other party's character of going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, it was obvious that he was waiting for him.

"Thank you for the help of the eldest prince."

Before Zhu Yi could speak, Shen Yichen first thanked him.

Xi Ning in the court is talking nonsense, although it is difficult to hurt Shen Yichen's fur, and no one will seriously investigate it, but it will have a bad impact after all, and some troublesome things can be avoided.

"Song Zhang's matter doesn't matter, you have to beware of someone who has a heart involved in the death of King Lu back then."

The reason why Zhu Yi stood at the palace gate and waited was to remind Shen Yichen that there was some news in the palace that the death of King Lu was brought up again, and the spearhead was pointed at Shen Yichen.

"Eldest prince, does your person with a heart refer to the Queen Mother?"

"You got it?"

Facing Zhu Yi's doubts, Shen Yichen smiled at the corner of his mouth: "There are no secrets in the palace, especially the Queen Mother is so targeting me, how can I not be prepared at all." ”

Shen Yichen spent a lot of money, and did not hesitate to bribe the commander of the Jinyi Guard to support Zhao Hongjie to ascend to the throne, just for the identity and intelligence of the Jinyi pro-army spy agency.

When you go out of town, you can act simply and rudely, but when you arrive in Beijing, the essence of the power struggle lies in who controls more information, and only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you survive a hundred battles.

"But the problem is, Your Majesty, he also knows."

"What do you know, who has the evidence that I did it?"

"Today's saint has the suspicion unique to being a king, but he also has the tolerance of a king, and the eldest prince and mother need to worry."

Shen Yichen behaved very calmly, in fact, compared to King Lu, the courtiers with heavy troops made the king more vigilant.

Now he has given up his military power on the surface, and has completely entered the cabinet as a civil servant to participate in the aircraft affairs, and he has also stood on the side of the new monarch with a clear banner, and has taken the lead against the courtiers many times.

How stupid is Zhu Qiyu to go to self-destruct the Great Wall for a King Lu who may not even have met him?

Just understood the truth that Mu Xiu would be destroyed by Lin Feng, and Shen Yichen would follow the queen mother's suggestion and give up his military power to join the cabinet to participate in the cabinet with an official position.

Taking retreat as advance is also the principle that officialdom taught him.

After all, Wang Zhen's slander at the beginning made Shen Yichen add a "big enemy" like the Queen Mother, and he would never give the Empress Dowager Sun another chance to break up his alliance with Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu.

Only by temporarily letting go of military power can we completely win the trust of the emperor!

"Indeed, many things need evidence, just like the second brother who collaborated with the enemy."

When she said this, Zhu Yi sighed heavily, and a painful look appeared on her face.

With Zhu Yi's ability, unless he didn't suspect Zhu Ji, once he was reminded to track down, then he would definitely be able to find some clues.

Obviously, when he said this sentence at this moment, he knew that Zhu Ji had the possibility of collaborating with the enemy and treason, but like Shen Yichen, he did not get conclusive evidence.

In addition, what made Zhu Yi's heart even heavier was that he didn't know how to tell his father that he was proud of the honor of Chengguo Gong, but a national thief appeared!
