A few days later, several guards ran into the palace and reported to the general manager that the road builders had been attacked again.

Moreover, this time it was four construction teams that were attacked at the same time, which made Manager Wang hurry to Zhu Gui's room worriedly.

"Lord Qiqi, the construction team of the road has been attacked again, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid no one will dare to start construction sooner or later."

Mr. Wang stood outside the door and said.

"Got it, you go down and get busy, by the way, Steward Wang, count the days, the holy decree is coming, right?"

The sound of getting dressed came from inside the house.

"Back to the prince, it should be in the past two days."

Steward Wang went down.

After Zhu Gui finished washing, he glanced at an open secret letter on the table, and smiled thoughtfully.

After breakfast, Zhu Gui sent someone to contact Xu Yingxu, and he himself gathered a hundred soldiers in front of the palace of the king.

After nearly 10 days of training, these soldiers have begun to show their edge.

The ten pro-soldiers standing at the front, carrying flintlock pistols on their shoulders, showed even more bravery.

Zhu Gui nodded, not surprised.

He noticed that many people in the surrounding streets were looking at this side, confused, excited, worried, and other expressions of unknown significance.

He looked at it in his eyes and didn't care.

A moment later, Xu Yingxu led the team to come.

"Are you finally going to teach those ruffians a lesson?" Xu Yingxu said with his hands in his hands.

This period of time has suffocated him, and those Salt Gang guys are like rats, and they are very annoying.

"The movement of the Salt Gang this time is very large, it seems that they are out of the nest, this is the opportunity that this king is waiting for."

Zhu Gui said.

"There are bandits on all sides, are we going to split up or do we clean them up one by one?"

Xu Yingxu glanced at the soldiers of the palace behind him, especially those pro-soldiers, and there was no contempt in his eyes.

"Divide into two roads, first near and then far, and then meet at the Salt Gang station."

Zhu Gui said.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Xu Yingxu waved his hand and immediately led the team away.

Steward Wang brought a carriage from nearby, which was prepared for Zhu Gui.

But Zhu Gui didn't get into the car, but led the horse out.

"Lord Wang?" Steward Wang was taken aback.

"The boy of the Zhu family is not hiding in the carriage."

After Zhu Gui finished speaking, he turned over his horse and ran towards another street.

A hundred soldiers of the royal palace followed.

"Be careful, I won't take care of you if you get hurt."

The gate of the palace opened a crack, Xu Miaoqing looked at the back of the person who was about to go away, and muttered.

"The prince is far away, why don't I help the princess with a message?" Zhu'er said from the side.

"You're looking for death!"

……

"How's it going? Have all the people from the Acting Palace's Mansion come out? ”

In the shadows, the one-eyed dragon asked his subordinates standing tall with a straw stick in his mouth.

"They all came out, and the general from the capital also took people away."

"Everyone get ready, stick to incense and do it."

The one-eyed dragon said to the blackened figure behind him.

It turned out that he made such a big move this time in order to divert the tiger from the mountain.

And he brought the elite of the Salt Gang to raid the Acting Palace.

His target is the master hidden in the palace of the king, and the recipe for making refined salt on behalf of the king.

The one-eyed dragon knew that he couldn't reconcile with the acting king's mansion after the things he had done, so it was better to do it absolutely.

If you can catch that master, you can use it to protect yourself, and even blackmail the king to negotiate.

If he found the recipe for making salt, then he could abandon the entire salt gang, change his name and surname, and start a new business in another state and county.

Even if the acting king is timid and not deceived, he can come a few more times, and when the time comes, as the people in Datong Mansion are discouraged, the advantage will slowly tilt towards the Yan Gang.

So no matter how the situation changed, the one-eyed dragon felt that the whole thing was under his control.

Unexpectedly, in this first action, the little prince couldn't sit still, and his plan could be implemented smoothly.

The thugs who were disrupting and attacking the road construction team were hired from other places at his expense, and even if they were caught, they had nothing to do with the Salt Gang.

The time for a stick of incense passed quickly, and the one-eyed dragon and the others jumped out of their hiding place and rushed straight to the palace of the king.

As he imagined, there were only some servants and girls left in the palace, and the one-eyed dragon easily took control of the situation, and then came to the backyard of the palace.

'Bang bang'.

Two of the One-Eyed Dragon's men suddenly splattered blood on their chests, and then they were killed on the spot.

It took him by surprise.

Looking up, I saw Princess Xu Miaoqing standing in the courtyard, glaring at him angrily.

"Bold bandits, dare to trespass on the palace? Impatient to live? ”

At this time, dozens of people had gathered behind the one-eyed dragon.

It calmed him down.

He looked at the pistol in Xu Miaoqing's hand and remembered the salt dealers who died in the hands of the acting king before.

It seems that the rumors in the market that the acting king has a powerful firearm in his hand are not false.

"Princess Niangniang, we are also desperate, as long as you can hand over the secret of making salt on behalf of the king, we will leave immediately."

The one-eyed dragon stopped his men who wanted to rush in, and made a swearing.

"Bah, villain, dare to covet the prince's things."

After Xu Miaoqing finished speaking, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the one-eyed dragon.

'Bang'.

After the gunshot, the one-eyed dragon stood unharmed, but still looking terrified.

It turned out that he blocked one of his subordinates in his chest and blocked the bullet for him.

"Scum."

After Xu Miaoqing finished speaking, he raised his gun and wanted to shoot again.

This frightened the one-eyed dragon, and he wanted to catch another person to block the bullets for himself, but his men had already run away.

He had no choice but to run.

There was a 'click' behind him.

It turned out that Xu Miaoqing's pistol had no bullets.

Only then did she remember that she had practiced shooting in the back mountain a few days ago, and most of her bullets had been used.

And she was embarrassed to ask Zhu Gui for it, but she didn't expect that something would go wrong at this critical time.

"Zhu Gui, you fool."

Xu Miaoqing scolded secretly, turned around and went into the house.

The one-eyed dragon and his party waited for a long time before they realized something.

Then he rushed in again.

"That girl has no bullets, don't be afraid, when we find the recipe, we will be rich." The one-eyed dragon shouted.

The Salt Gang everyone cheered and rushed towards the back room.

‘Dua

With a bang, something heavy suddenly fell in the yard, and a big pit was blown up, and everyone in the Salt Gang who couldn't dodge was blown away, and their severed limbs and stumps were scattered all over the ground.

The one-eyed dragon and Xu Miaoqing, who had just opened the door and held a long sword, were taken aback.

At this time, the courtyard walls on both sides were suddenly full of people.

It was the acting king Zhu Gui who was the soldier of the royal palace.

Zhu Gui patted a dark cannon barrel beside him, and said thoughtfully: "The power is a bit too great, and it can't be used in your own yard in the future." ”

The one-eyed dragon was so frightened that he sat down on the ground directly, and muttered, "How is this possible? Didn't you leave? ”

Xu Miaoqing was overjoyed at first, and then shouted at Zhu Gui with a gloomy face: "Zhu Gui, you dare to lie to me?" ”
