Steel Dynasty - Chapter 386

[Chapter 386 Survival from desperate situation]

PS: There are only two updates today. Please allow Snail to take a short rest on the first day of New Year. I will make up for all the outstanding chapters tomorrow.

“Your Highness, why are you out? Go back quickly!”

Zhao Long said urgently. At this time, he could no longer care about his dignity and yelled at Xiao Ming.

“I am not a weak scholar!” Xiao Ming said coldly. Without the courage to face swords and guns on the battlefield, how could he defeat his vicious enemy.

Since someone wants to play with him, he will play to the end.

Biting open the ammunition bag, Xiao Ming poured the bullets into the musket and fired another shot at the man in black who rushed over.

This short-barreled musket has a very short range, but it is very easy to load. You only need to pour gunpowder in and it can be fired again.

Xiao Ming kept relying on the carriage protection to shoot at the men in black outside.

Seeing Xiao Ming fighting in person, the guards around the carriage became more and more courageous as they fought. At this time, they only had one belief in their hearts, that is, Xiao Ming could not be injured.

It’s just that there are too many men in black outside. Although his soldiers are very good at fighting, some soldiers continue to fall in a pool of blood.

The protective circle was squeezed smaller and smaller by the men in black, and the guards fell into a pool of blood one by one. Looking at the protective circle with only thirty people left, Xiao Ming’s heart became cold.

Will my road end in Chang’an? Who wants to kill him?

Just when he was despairing, suddenly there was a rumble of horse hooves, and the man in black immediately fled in all directions when he heard the sound.

Not long after, dense torches appeared in Xiao Ming’s field of vision, and thousands of cavalry appeared on Suzaku Avenue.

When he saw the armor of these cavalry, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief. They were the Yulin cavalry guarding the palace gate.

“His Royal Highness King Qi!”

The general leading the cavalry exclaimed when he saw Xiao Ming.

“General Du.”

Xiao Ming also saw the appearance of the visitor in the firelight. It was none other than Du Boyuan’s father, Du Heng, who was responsible for protecting the safety of the palace.

“Your Highness, what is going on?”

Du Heng glanced at the messy battlefield and was shocked. At this time, there were more than two hundred black bodies lying on the ground, mixed with soldiers wearing silver breastplates. The king’s bodyguard.

“Someone wants to assassinate this king!”

Xiao Ming’s voice was like the cold wind in the cold winter. Looking at the soldiers who died fighting for him, his heart was bleeding.

“Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu, wake up, Zhao Hu!”

Zhao Long’s voice suddenly sounded, very sad.

Xiao Ming was startled and immediately walked towards Zhao Long, only to see Zhao Hu lying in Zhao Long’s arms, and Zhao Hu was covered with stab wounds.

He said to Du Heng: “General Du, let’s save the people first.”

Du Heng reacted and immediately asked his men to save the people. He shouted: “Why are you still standing there? Why don’t you send the people to Tai Hospital? Hurry!”

Turning his head, he said to Xiao Ming: “Your Majesty saw that there were fireworks being released here. He was afraid that something might happen to His Majesty, so he asked the general to come to the rescue. Your Majesty is already waiting for His Majesty in the palace. Please come with us.”

Xiao Ming nodded. He nodded, he couldn’t go back to the palace tonight. If these men in black could ambush him here, they might as well ambush him around the palace.

Du Heng got on the horse, Xiao Ming immediately walked to Zhao Long, picked up Zhao Hu on the ground and carried him to the carriage. He said to Zhao Long: “Stop crying, Zhao Hu is not dead yet, hurry up and send them to the Tai Hospital. Help the injured soldiers onto the carriage, quickly.”

Only then did Zhao Long react and immediately went to help other seriously injured soldiers.

At this time, Xiao Ming mounted his horse and followed Du Heng towards the palace.

In the imperial study room, Xiao Wenxuan was walking around anxiously. When he saw fireworks appearing inexplicably, he felt something unusual.

Because Xiao Ming will definitely not set off fireworks again.

As someone who had gone through the Prince Controversy, he immediately realized the danger, so he sent Du Heng to see what was going on.

Just when he was worried, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then he saw Xiao Ming walking in, covered in blood.

“Ming’er, this…this…” Xiao Wenxuan said in shock: “Are you injured?”

“No.” Xiao Ming said calmly: “Father, my son was assassinated within five miles of leaving the palace. All one hundred of my bodyguards died in the battle. I hope my father will make the decision for me!”

“Assassination!”

Xiao Ming’s words came out almost word by word, and Xiao Wenxuan could feel Xiao Ming’s anger.

After being surprised, he became furious, “Someone dared to assassinate the prince in front of my eyes! It’s simply lawless. Du Heng took my tiger talisman to mobilize the military guards on the left and right, and immediately searched the entire Chang’an city for me. He must assassinate all of them. Find the king’s mastermind!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Du Heng responded and immediately left with the imperial army.

With his chest heaving violently, Xiao Wenxuan looked at Xiao Ming. This time, Xiao Ming had made such a great contribution and was assassinated before receiving a reward. This made his face dull.

Chang’an City was at the feet of the emperor, and openly assassinating the prince was not only an insult to Xiao Ming, but also an insult to him.

“Ming’er, I will definitely give you an explanation. No matter who it is, I will definitely give you justice.” Xiao Wenxuan said firmly to Xiao Ming.

At this time, Xiao Ming couldn’t say anything else. He couldn’t blame Xiao Wenxuan, but he had to avenge this.

“Thank you, Father. I have dedicated my life to the great Yu Kingdom and the royal family. But now someone wants to kill me. Father, didn’t I do the right thing?” Xiao Ming said.

Xiao Wenxuan felt even more guilty after what Xiao Ming said, and he said: “Ming’er, how could this be wrong? Without you, how could there be the stability of the royal family now? Father knows in his heart how important you are to the country of Chongqing.”

“With father .

This will put my son at ease,” Xiao Ming said calmly.

He said this deliberately in order to put the murderer to death. Since the murderer had killed him, why should he continue to tolerate it.

Xiao Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xiao Ming: “Don’t go back tonight, stay in the Bishui Pavilion for the time being.”

Xiao Ming nodded, said yes, and went to the Bishui Pavilion under the guidance of the small yellow door. Go.

Watching Xiao Ming leave, Xiao Wenxuan said to Feng Deshui: “Go and call Yang Zhen. What do they do in Lijingmen? They didn’t get any news about such a big thing.”

“Yes, Your Majesty, Shanhaiguan is now In the hands of His Highness the King of Qi, if His Highness has a problem in Chang’an and the soldiers under the King of Qi do not rebel, then they will let the barbarians enter the pass in anger, and the country of Chongqing will be over.” Feng Deshui said urgently.

After hearing this, Xiao Wenxuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Now that King Yong’s strength has been greatly reduced, if Xiao Ming dies at this time, it will be equivalent to forcing the soldiers under King Qi to rebel. Then no one will be able to resist the barbarians entering the pass.

“Who is it that wants to destroy our country of Chongqing?” Xiao Wenxuan’s eyes gradually turned red, “I must crush him to ashes.”

Feng Deshui nodded, “Yes, this person really has sinister intentions. You deserve to be killed!”
