This time, not only Zhang Zhen, but even Yuan Kai reminded loudly: "Please Your Majesty don't take risks, in case ......."

Before Yuan Kai could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang had already interrupted: "I am here, I want to see if there is anyone in this world who dares to be unfavorable to me!" I want to see who in this world has the courage to do this! You two stand down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked confident, no one in the world dared to disobey him, even if Zhang Lu was a traverser.

Thinking in his heart that there was a peerless master in the dark to protect Zhu Yuanzhang anyway, Zhang Zhen retreated to the side as he said, and Yuan Kai had no choice but to retreat to the side.

Izumoko was expressionless, and slowly walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Lu felt an inexplicable nervousness in his heart, and he didn't know why, he always felt that something would happen.

It turns out that Zhang's intuition is sometimes very accurate, and when Izumoko is only three steps away from Zhu Yuanzhang, his manual is broken.

Izumoko's hand was on her belt, and she pulled a soft sword out of her belt. The reflection of the sunlight on the sword body makes people unable to open their eyes, and it also makes people feel cold all over their bodies.

"Bold!"

"Stop the thief!"

"Hugh is going to hurt Your Majesty!"

Similar voices came and went, and the guards on the shore kept an eye on the ship's movements, and when they saw Izumoko like this, they all shouted and drew their blades, and at the same time rushed towards the dragon ship.

Zhang Lu also rushed towards Zhu Yuanzhang at the first time, but unfortunately his distance was also not close.

Izumoko slashed at Zhu Yuanzhang with a sword, but Zhu Yuanzhang also seemed to be on guard, he subconsciously retreated, and at the same time raised his arm.

Fortunately, Izumoko used a soft sword, which was not very powerful, and when the sword fell, it only injured Zhu Yuanzhang's arm.

Izumoko's movements were not fancy, and with a flick of his wrist, he stabbed at Zhu Yuanzhang again, his movements were smooth, which made Zhang Lu feel familiar, but he couldn't think much about it in such an urgent situation.

Seeing that a sword was about to be stabbed on Zhu Yuanzhang's body, Zhang Lu finally arrived, he flew over and pointed the tip of the embroidered spring knife on the soft sword.

Izumoko's soft sword was extremely elastic, and he added some skill to the sword, but Zhang Lu only felt that the strength of the rebound from the sword body was extremely strong, and he bounced him back.

Zhang Lu used his strength to roll around in the air and stood firmly on the deck, Izumoko also took two steps back, and the two of them had just fought between the lightning and the fire.

Izumoko's eyes were cold, he looked at Zhang Yuan, and stabbed at Zhu Yuanzhang again.

Zhang Zhen naturally raised his knife to meet him, and under the left block and right split, Zhang Zhen blocked a lot of attacks for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Izumoko also seemed to understand that as long as he didn't solve Zhang Lu quickly, there would be no way to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was also decisive, and the soft sword stabbed towards Zhang Lu with a shake in the air.

Zhang Zhen greeted him with a knife, slashing heavily on the sword body, the soft sword was extremely tough, and it was not broken, but bent into a waning moon, and the tip of the sword was directly pointed behind Zhang Yuan, and drilled into the gap in the leather armor.

He snorted, obviously injured, and then saw that there was also a touch of bright red on the tip of Yunzi's sword.

Zhang Yu didn't care about the pain in his body, and he bit his teeth and slashed at Izumoko's body.

Izumoko dodged sideways, and then followed the reaction force on the blade of the sword and struck Zhang Yan's shoulder.

Fortunately, Zhang Lu wore the standard leather armor of Jinyiwei today, and the soft sword only left a hole on the leather armor, and did not really hurt Zhang Rong.

The two fought tightly twice, Zhang's shoulder armor was broken, and his back was even more bloody, how did he not know that he was not Izumoko's opponent?

It's not that there is any difference in the strength of the two, it's just that Zhang Lu really has no experience in facing an opponent with a soft sword for the first time, and it's also because Izumo's sword is biased, and the sword moves are not fancy and fast enough.

Isn't this the same way as Senior Sister Li Xue? It's no wonder that Zhang Lu felt that Izumoko's movements were familiar before.

Since he is not an opponent, the best way is to temporarily avoid the edge, Zhang Lu has deep internal skills, and his light skills are not bad, he is confident that if he turns his head and runs out of Yunzi, he will definitely not be able to catch up.

But at this moment, he can't do that, behind him is Zhu Yuanzhang, the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty looks peaceful, the dark is turbulent. In case Zhu Yuanzhang dies, God knows what kind of changes will happen to Daming, under internal and external troubles, the most unlucky people are always the people at the bottom.

Therefore, Zhang Zhen can't retreat, even if he knows that he is not defeated, he can't take half a step back, as long as he waits for the guards on the shore to get on the boat, his actions can change immediately.

Zhang Zhen analyzed the gains and losses in his mind, and Izumoko's sword also drilled into the gap, Zhang Zhen only felt that the silver light flashed, and two openings were made in his breastplate.

He took a breath and wanted to use his internal force to shake Izumoko back, but this trick worked for Han Qin, but it didn't work for Izumoko, who was not shallow in cultivation.

Zhang Lu was helpless, and today he could only choose to exchange injuries for injuries, anyway, the power of the soft sword was insufficient, if it wasn't pierced into the gap, it would basically not cause any damage to Zhang Zhen who was wearing standard leather armor.

Zhang Zhen let out a loud shout, and didn't look at Izumoko's sword, but used enough strength to slash towards Izumoko.

Izumoko flashed to the side, swinging his wrist at the same time, and the soft sword slashed across Zhang's wrist like a silver snake.

It was also protected by leather armor, and there were iron armor plates attached to it, and the soft sword rubbed against the armor pieces violently, producing bursts of sparks.

Zhang Lu didn't even look at it, and directly swept out of Yunzi's waist and abdomen with a knife.

The soft sword was obviously unable to block the sword momentum, and Izumoko could only connect the dots on her toes, and instantly retreated outside the range of Zhang Lu's attack.

The main focus of the knife is to be domineering, and before Izumoko could stand firm, Zhang Zhen had already bounced up and slashed towards Izumoko's shoulder.

By the inertia of the body, the end of this knife is strong and heavy.

Zhang Yu also knew that Izumoko's body was flexible, and I was afraid that this knife would be dodged by Izumoko.

But a scene of anger happened, Izumoko didn't dodge, and Zhang Yu's hopeless knife hit Izumoko's shoulder.

This knife slashed so deep that it even cut off Izumoko's collarbone and shoulder blades, and a large amount of blood gushed out, staining Izumoko's robe red, and adding a touch of red to the monotonous deck.

Zhang Lu didn't understand why Izumo didn't hide, he wanted to put away the knife, but Izumo reacted quickly and grabbed Zhang Yun's blade.

Injured so badly, Izumoko didn't even let out a cry of pain, the cold in his eyes had long since disappeared, and now there was only a touch of calm.

After all, he was too badly injured, bleeding too much, and he seemed to have no strength in his legs, so he knelt directly on the ground.

Blood began to spill out of Izumoko's mouth.

Zhang Lu's heart was full of too much understanding, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Why? Why don't you hide?"

Izumoko didn't answer, but gave Zhang Yu a shallow smile, he inhaled hard, riveted his last strength and raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Long live Xuanguo Gong!"

This long howl resounded through the sky, and even many people by Xuanwu Lake really heard it.

After the long roar, Izumoko's head was lowered, her hands hung down, and her soft sword fell to the ground.

Yes, Izumoko is dead, but there is peace and calm on her face.

The guards of the front division of the palace finally arrived on the ship, and they surrounded Zhu Yuanzhang for the three layers inside and the three layers outside, and also surrounded several layers here in Izumoko.

There was an adjutant in the front of the palace who knew some medical skills, and he quickly bandaged the wound on Zhu Yuanzhang's arm.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and the guards immediately opened up a little distance.

He didn't see anything on his face, but just turned to Zhang Zhen and asked, "Zhang Chen, what happened to the assassin who killed me?"

Zhang Lu put away the embroidered spring knife, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the assassin is dead."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, glanced around the guards again, and asked, "Did you hear what the assassin said before he died?"

The guards immediately knelt on the ground and replied in unison, "I heard you."

At this moment, only Yuan Kai made a different voice: "Your Majesty, this matter today is too strange, I'm afraid someone is deliberate

Blame the Duke of Xuanguo, and ask Your Majesty to learn from it."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to hear, but ordered the guard, "Search your body."

A guard directly kicked Izumoko's body down, groped for it again, and really found a sign in his arms.

The guards presented the sign to Zhu Yuanzhang with both hands, only to see that the four big characters "Xuanguo Mansion" were written on it.

Xungui's family is a big business, even if it is to prevent thieves, some nursing homes will be recruited, and in order to identify the identity of the nursing home, each nursing home will also carry such a brand.

And the sign that says Xuanguo Mansion is naturally from Li Shanchang's family.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the sign, and then slammed it on the deck again, "Li Shanchang is too deceitful! I would have spared his life! But he did not repent, he still insisted on going his own way, and now he is even more dangerous to assassinate me."

Yuan Kai still knelt on the ground, and said again, "Your Majesty, if Xuan Guogong really wants to assassinate him, how could he let the assassin carry this brand with him? This is really a misfortune, and please let Your Majesty know it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Yuan Kai coldly, and said angrily, "I almost died at the hands of the assassin just now, how do you let me know it?" If this assassin wasn't sent by Li Shanchang, then where did the brand on his body come from?"

Yuan Kai couldn't answer, so he could only continue to argue: "Xuan Guogong is a meritorious minister, if Your Majesty wants to blame Xuan Guogong, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous to the country."

Yuan Kai is not Li Shanchang's person, and he has never been Li Shanchang's subordinate, he is just an extremely pure official, in his eyes Li Shanchang has made great contributions to the country, if he kills such a meritorious hero, it will inevitably chill people's hearts, I am afraid that the country will also be in turmoil, and today's assassination of Yuan Kai can be seen at a glance It is a calamity, but he doesn't understand why His Majesty can't see it, why the guards of these palace front divisions around him can't see it.
