Timur personally presided over the craftsman's work of crafting weapons, only to find that this thing was really not easy.

There is a lot of confusion on the one hand, and there is no hope at all on the other.

Even if they drew the shape themselves, the craftsmen did not know the ratio of iron, and they could not cast a suitable cannon at all.

After the thirtieth cannon with holes was cast, Timur decisively abandoned the development of weapons and left for the assassination operation that had been planned before.

"Amin, how did you do to train the Assassins?"

Ah Ming, who was in the cloak, said when he heard this.

"The organization is basically set up, and the Eagle's Nest has been renovated enough to hold back an army of millions."

"Good!"

"I will send the children of the Timurid family to the Eagle's Nest for your special protection, and once Isfahan also falls, it will be our last hope!"

"By the way, if you are asked to assassinate the Ming Emperor now, how sure are you?"

"Three points?"

When Timur heard Amin say three points, he still had an uncertain tone, and his heart was furious.

"Only three points?"

As if he hadn't noticed Timur's anger, Amin still said to himself.

"Your Majesty, the essence of the assassination is to be surprised, the Ming children in our hands are still in training, and they can't carry out the task at all. The Assassins who had already been trained could not approach the Ming Emperor at all because of their language, skin color, hair color, etc. ”

When Timur heard this, he thought seriously for a while.

"I heard that Emperor Zhu Yunxi of the Ming Dynasty likes to go deep into the people and interact with the local people."

"If you can't take advantage of his time in Samarkand to carry out the assassination, then it will be even more difficult to find opportunities in the future."

Ah Ming thought for a moment when he heard this.

"Since Your Majesty says so, then you can try it."

"But the humble position does not dare to guarantee success, once it fails, we will have to bear the wrath from the Ming Dynasty."

Timur sneered when he heard this.

"Even if we don't assassinate Zhu Yunxi, will Da Ming let us go?"

Ah Ming lowered his head and thought about it, it was really like this.

With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is beyond everyone's expectations to be able to endure such a long time without fighting a war to destroy the country.

Therefore, no one dares to expect too much, and only hopes that Daming will call later to give them more time to prepare.

"Your Majesty, if we set the assassination target a little lower, it may be more effective."

"Lower?"

"Who?"

Amin pulls out a list of assassinations.

"Your Majesty can pick one from here."

Timur looked at the list and saw that the first line said blue jade, and his eyes immediately burst out with strong hatred. But when he saw that the success rate of the assassination was only forty percent, he forcibly suppressed this hatred.

Lan Yu is a relative of the Ming Emperor's grandparents, and once he assassinates this person, it will inevitably cause the thunderous anger of the Ming Dynasty.

Timur swept his gaze down again, and saw that Fu Youde, Feng Sheng and others also appeared on the list, and he couldn't help but have an idea.

"Except for Lan Yu, everyone else is arranged!"

"Especially Sharif, arrange the most elite assassin for him, and make sure to kill this traitor!"

"Yes!"

Amin accepted the order and immediately retreated like a shadow.

During Zhu Yunxi's time in Kangdu, Lan Yu transferred all the troops he could to draw back to protect Kangdu's safety.

And there is only one requirement, that is, it must be a Ming military household.

There were 600,000 Ming troops stationed in Kangdu, but the real Ming army was only a hundred thousand.

These people not only have to be scattered and stationed in various strongholds to ensure the security of the entire Kangdu region, but also have to send a large part of them to act as officers and glue together 600,000 miscellaneous troops.

Therefore, the pressure of transfer was very great, even Lan Yu racked his brains, so he transferred 30,000 pure Ming military households to guard Zhu Yunxi.

Although he just didn't do this, and no one dared to attack Kangdu's idea in the entire West, he always felt uneasy, for fear that Zhu Yunxi would have any problems.

Zhu Yunxi was very dissatisfied with Lan Yu's arrangement, but he never said anything, only hinted at Lan Yu a few times.

Lan Yu also understood Zhu Yunxi's hint, but she kept pretending to be stupid and stunned, pretending not to understand at all.

Zhu Yunxi didn't bother to deal with him when he saw that this old guy was difficult to understand, and just wanted to deal with Kangdu's affairs as soon as possible and return to Daming.

Zhu Yunxi's mission in Kangdu was mainly twofold, on the one hand, to comfort the Ming soldiers stationed here, and on the other hand, to divide the local tribal leaders, recognize their aristocratic status, and give them a certain degree of autonomy.

This is also the Ming Dynasty's consistent means of ruling over the surrounding areas, that is, to support agents and let them rule the local areas instead of the Ming officials.

This method is also known as bondage.

There are many tribes in the Kangju area, and the religious beliefs are very complex, there are monotheistic religions and some polytheistic religions. Especially in the area near India, there are too many religions to count.

For these places, the Ming Dynasty simply did not have enough manpower to govern, so they could only demarcate tax levels for them, let the local noble leaders pay the taxes on time, and let them govern the rest by themselves.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi's main job every day is to sit on the emperor's throne, which symbolizes the supreme imperial power, accept groups of foreign leaders to bow down, and then reward them with Ming official uniforms and seals, and recognize their aristocratic status and lord rights.

In addition, Zhu Yunxi also goes to Kangdu University from time to time to brush his face.

Because of the policy of bondage, the children of all tribal leaders must be sent to Kangdu University to study and accept the culture of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the current students of Kangdu University are the backbone of the future rule of this land.

Therefore, gaining the loyalty of this group of students of different races is very important for Zhu Yunxi.

On this day, Zhu Yunxi had another arrangement, to go to Kangdu University to preside over the mid-term exam.

Just as Zhu Yunxi's guard of honor was heading to Kangdu University, a thin figure on the side of the street quickly disappeared and appeared near Kangdu University.

This thin figure is Amin, as a descendant of the Hasasin sect, Amin has always been very careful to hide his body and appearance.

It can be said that in the entire Timurid Empire, only Timur, the emperor, has seen his true appearance, and the others have not even seen him, and they don't even know about his existence.

Ah Ming didn't come to Kangdu this time to assassinate Zhu Yunxi, he just wanted to observe Zhu Yunxi's living habits first to see if there was any chance of assassination.

However, when he came to Kangdu University and found that the university, which was never forbidden to tourists, was actually guarded by guards, his heart instantly cooled.

It seems that Zhu Yunxi's guard level is stricter than he imagined!

But this did not bother Amin, who had already found a job at Kangdu University.

Kitchen handyman!

Amin is very versatile, not only skilled in fencing and assassination, but also in cooking, blacksmithing, carpentry, and so on.

It's not that Amin has a lot of interests, it's that his teacher taught him that.

The Hasatsinites believe that a good killer must be able to turn into all kinds of people.

They can be a hawker carrying goods, a passer-by on the street, a guard, a maid, an attendant in a royal palace, and so on.

In short, they have to incarnate as people of various professions, ambush the assassin, and deal a fatal blow to the assassin at the most opportune time.

Amin made a detour to the side entrance of Kangdu University, and although there were guards at the side gate, he still let him in after identifying himself and registering.

This makes Ah Ming have a lot of contempt for Daming's guards, this kind of seemingly strict, but in fact full of loopholes in the guards?

However, Amin soon couldn't laugh.

Not long after he entered the back kitchen, a team of Ming officers and soldiers wearing flying fish suits blocked the kitchen.

"From now on, only entry and exit are allowed. Anyone who wants to go out must be frisked and registered! ”

Ah Ming was shocked when he heard this, and he had a new understanding of Da Ming's Jinyi Guard.

It is worthy of being a big country with a population of hundreds of millions, and its defense details are much stronger than those small countries in the West!

However, this is only the beginning, and the next series of operations will make Amin completely break the defense.

After Jinyiwei guarded the kitchen area, a group of people soon walked in, and these people were specially responsible for serving food.

Ah Ming looked at the eunuchs who were passing vegetables, and was full of despair about the task of assassinating Zhu Yunxi.

These people have white faces and beards, and their bodies are clean and unspeakable, which is very difficult to imitate.

He secretly observed and found that these people were in groups of five, knew each other well, and the groups also greeted each other from time to time, or said some gossip that they did not understand.

This proves that they all know each other, and it is difficult for outsiders to blend in with this group.

While observing and cooperating with the chef in the back kitchen, Ah Ming was busy, and at the moment of serving the food, Ah Ming thought of poisoning again.

But soon there was a new problem, that is, which dish to put poison into?

Just as Armin was thinking this, the leader of the Jinyi Guard walked in again and announced a new rule.

"Every dish has to be tasted before it's ready!"

"The one who tastes the dishes will be chosen from among you!"

"Come here, try this dish!"

Ah Ming looked at the Jinyi guard officer in surprise and pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Sir, do you mean me?"

"Yes!"

"That's you!"

"You can try this dish!"

Hearing this, Ah Ming could only step forward, and unfamiliarly picked up chopsticks and took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

He thought that was the end of it, but he did not realize that the officer spoke again.

"Swallow!"

"Huh?"

"Swallow it and open your mouth to show me!"

When Ah Ming heard this, he could only obediently do so, until the officer was sure that he had really eaten the food, and then waved his hand at him in disgust, and asked the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time to serve the food.

Jin Yiwei then called another cook to try the dishes, and so on until every dish was tried.

Ah Ming looked at the inspection process of Jin Yiwei, and his heart became even more desperate about the assassination of Zhu Yunxi.

Poisoning is definitely no fun, if the toxicity is light, the poison will not kill people, and if the toxicity is heavy, if you don't wait for Zhu Yunxi to eat it, the person who tries the dish will be poisoned first.

It can be seen that you can only find a way to assassinate you closely!

Fortunately, Jin Yiwei's monitoring of the kitchen only lasted for an hour, and after all the dishes were served, he didn't care much about them, and even allowed them to enter and leave the kitchen.

Amin took the opportunity to escape by going to the hut, found the student clothes he had prepared in advance, changed into them, and disguised himself as a student from Kangdu University to blend in with the student team.

In the student pile, Amin heard a lot of news.

"Have you heard, today His Majesty the Emperor will not only come in person, but will also personally meet the top ten students and accompany them to dine together!"

"Really?"

"That's great!"

"It's just that my grades are not good, I'm afraid I won't be able to get into the top ten......"

"Hahaha, you really dare to dream, just the little ink in your stomach still dare to hope for the top ten, it's good that you can get close to the top five hundred!"

Armin listened to the conversation around him and had another thought in his heart.

If I can become one of the top ten candidates, wouldn't I be able to assassinate Zhu Yunxi at close range?

Of course, Armin doesn't take the test himself, but looks in the crowd to see which student he resembles in shape.

Fortunately, he just glanced at it casually, and saw several people who were similar to his own body, but their skin color and face shape needed to be changed.

Now it's just a matter of whether these candidates can get into the top ten!

As a bell rang, every candidate hurried to a huge examination room.

Ah Ming also followed the crowd to the examination room, and when he saw the small houses in the examination room, Ah Ming's heart was immediately happy.

It's a great place for assassination, and no one will find out if you're armed with a crossbow in your small house!

Seeing that the other students just looked at the number plate on the small house, Amin went in, and also found a random room to sit in.

However, before his ass was hot, he saw a fat man standing in front of him.

"This classmate, are you sitting in the wrong place, this is my examination booth!"

"Huh?"

"Isn't it just a casual sitting?"

The little fat man frowned immediately when he heard this.

"Classmate, you're not a student at our Kangdu University, are you?"

"I am, of course I am, look at my uniform......"

"If you're a student at Condu, don't you know that the exam is based on the exam number?"

"You sat on my test number, where do you let me go?"

"This ......"

Ah Ming only felt his brain buzz when he heard this, he never thought that there were so many rules for the exam!

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I saw Jiazi 17 as C-17!"

The little fat man pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Hmph, what kind of eyes, can you even see this wrong?"

"Even if you don't know A, don't you have any points for your grades?"

"The examination booths in the first row are all for the top 100 candidates in the school, and the C-room ...... That's at least two hundred or dozens of people, and you're embarrassed to be in the first row? ”

"This ......"

Ah Ming didn't want to listen to the little fat man's noise, so he hurriedly picked up his book and walked towards the third row.

However, the third row was already full of candidates, and Amin had to continue walking backwards until he reached the last row and found an empty seat.

Ah Ming casually picked an examination booth and sat in, and as soon as he sat in, he saw a person who looked like an examiner coming over.

"This candidate, there are a total of nine hundred and seventy-seven people in this exam, and your examination booth is not within the scope of the exam, are you sure that you are not sitting in the wrong place?"

"I ......"

In the gap between Amin's hesitation, the examiner continued.

"Take out your admission ticket, and your student ID!"

Ah Ming didn't have these things, he just came here to make up the numbers.

"I'm sorry sir, I ...... I forgot to bring ......"

"Forgot to bring?"

The examiner sneered.

"Then please get out!"

"You can forget the exam even the admission ticket, why don't you die!"

Hearing this, Ah Ming could only pretend to be aggrieved and get up from his seat, and then walked out of the examination room in the direction of the examiner's finger.

Damn Daming, isn't it just a test, where are there so many rules!
