Chapter 444: Easy Counter-Kill!

This sudden wave of assassinations immediately stunned many onlookers and officials present.

This is the center of the Ming Dynasty!

And he assassinated Zhu Gaoxian, the prince of the East Palace who was about to ascend the throne!

Although the news of Zhu Gaoxian's assassination in Yunzhou was also faintly spread before, many people didn't really take it to heart, always thinking that it was either a false rumor, or some local families had bumped into Zhu Gaoxian and his party without knowing how to do it......

But now, the people of Beijing have discovered that there are really people who dare to risk the world, brazenly draw a knife, and assassinate Zhu Gaoxian, the prince of the Ming Dynasty!

This completely subverted their imagination, and many people were stunned and unbelievable the moment they saw the dead soldiers draw their daggers and rush forward!

And the civil and military officials who followed the army and marched slowly were also dumbfounded, so shocked by this incident that they couldn't say a word!

This is the assassination of the prince of the East Palace!

It's a shocking felony to be beheaded and the nine clans to be exterminated!

Where did these Assassins come from?

Just when everyone was surprised and was caught off guard by the assassins, Zhu Gaoxian seemed to have expected it, he didn't even look at the assassins who were staring at him with eyes and daggers in their hands, but turned his body down, and directly dodged the two crossbow arrows that followed!

And as Zhu Gaoxian leaned over, dozens of elite brocade guards who had been strictly guarding him instantly rushed up, wanting to surround him and prevent Zhu Gaoxian from continuing to be exposed to the assassins' field of vision.

The other sergeants on both sides and behind them also let out angry roars, and all drew their swords and ran towards the assassins as fast as they could.

Dare to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whom he admires the most, these people really deserve to die! Ten thousand deaths!

However, although the reaction speed of Zhu Gaoxian's side can be described as extremely fast, and several elites in the army instantly cut down the assassins in front of them to the ground, but the two dead soldiers on the left and right sides were still one step ahead of everyone, directly aiming at Zhu Gaoxian, who had not yet been blocked, and continuously detained the second and third crossbow arrows!

Before Shen Qingyu, who had just cut down an assassin, could react, he saw the movements of the two, and his heart suddenly sank!

He was so experienced in the Jinyi Guard, and instantly heard that this was a special repeating crossbow specially made by the Ministry of Industry in the past, although the power was not great, and it could only be fired three times in a row before it would be completely scrapped, but the crossbow arrows were always crossbow arrows, especially when fired at such a close distance, maybe the arrows were coated with poison!

Although His Royal Highness has put on inner armor, it is unknown whether he can prevent crossbow arrows from shooting at such a close distance......

Shen Qingyu didn't even dare to think about it, let alone look back at Zhu Gaoxian's situation, but roared sadly, raised the embroidered spring knife in his hand and pounced on the two!

Then one by one, he didn't even give these two people a chance to resist, and directly cut them to the ground!

"Poof, poof!"

However, how agile and vigorous is Zhu Gaoxian's skills now?

In addition, after fusing Yue Fei's personality, his perception of danger is far beyond ordinary people, and he can even feel the murderous aura that cannot be discovered.

Therefore, at the same time that the two dead men had just pulled the second trigger, Zhu Gaoxian had already stepped directly on the stirrup, jumped directly off the horse, and fell into the encirclement of the brocade guards.

And the next four crossbow arrows, almost at the same time as he turned over and dismounted, swished from his original position, but in the end they were completely empty!

Although Zhu Gaoxian had already put on the newly developed inner armor, he didn't want to rely on his body to resist the crossbow arrows, relying on his reaction speed far beyond ordinary people, and quickly dodged the follow-up four consecutive crossbow arrows.

And where will these dead soldiers be the battle-hardened opponents in the army?

By the time the Jinyi Guard's men swarmed up, a total of eight assassins had all fallen into a pool of blood, dead and wounded, and the Jinyi Guard didn't care whether they lived or died, and directly tied up all the assassins tightly with thick hemp ropes, and searched all the whole body cleanly.

Under the ups and downs one after another, this can be called an extremely thrilling scene, which made many onlookers and the accompanying officials wake up one after another, many people are frightened, many people are angry, and some people are pale and at a loss.

It's obviously a matter of course, and they've all been prepared, why did the dead still miss?

Several people hiding in the crowd have been watching Zhu Gaoxian closely, originally when they saw the two dead men firing crossbow arrows at Zhu Gaoxian, they thought that this matter must be settled, after all, under the three consecutive crossbow arrow shots, Zhu Gaoxian was on the horse again, and the crossbow arrows were also coated with poison that sealed the throat with blood, and it was difficult to live!

And as long as Zhu Gaoxian dies, there will be chaos on the field in an instant, and they can fish in troubled waters and start to launch follow-up plans with determination.

However, the subsequent scene made them simply stunned and completely collapsed!

Zhu Gaoxian actually escaped this can almost be regarded as the most fatal blow!

This scene instantly made several people's hearts cold, and a large cold sweat broke out directly behind Cui Shangshu.

At this time, Yang Rong and Xia Yuanji also ran to Zhu Gaoxian's side under the escort of Jinyiwei, both of them were panting, sweating on their foreheads, and their faces were even more ugly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright?"

After receiving a positive answer, the two important ministers of the court and Zhu Gaoxian's confidants and cronies breathed a long sigh of relief and completely relieved their hearts.

If Zhu Gaoxian was assassinated in public, they really didn't know what to do, so they just found a stone on the side of the road and stoned him to death!

After the two of them reacted, Xia Yuanji's face was furious, and he said angrily:

"Your Highness, these assassins are so bold!"

"Being so easily mixed in the condolences crowd shows that they must have someone secretly helping each other, and the minister will definitely find out the people behind him, and he will definitely punish the nine clans!"

He was picked up by Zhu Gaoxian, and he had a loyal personality, and he felt unprecedented anger that Zhu Gaoxian would be assassinated in the capital.

And Yang Rong also had a gloomy face, constantly looking at the assassin's side.

As the head of the cabinet, he had seen the list of these condolences in advance!

These assassins are clearly pushing and making trouble behind their backs!

This made him feel extremely angry and resentful, did these people eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall?

How dare you commit such a heinous and heinous crime! (End of chapter)
