As soon as this signal flare came out, the faces of everyone present changed greatly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even Cao Bianjiao and the others were stunned, completely unaware that Zhu Xu still had this thing on him.

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Zhuge is only cautious in his life, I have offended so many people, how can I not keep a few more hands." ”

Copper Mask looked at the signal flare in the sky, his eyes suddenly cold, and shouted: "Kill, kill with all your might!" ”

"Kill!"

This sound was made by Cao Bianjiao and Na Li Darthead at the same time, knowing that there were reinforcements nearby, both of them fought hard to kill the enemy, and there was no need to worry.

Despite the disparity in strength between the two sides, they were still strangled together, and it was difficult for the assassins to kill Zhu Xu in a short period of time.

"Kill! Kill the Dog Emperor! ”

"Kill me, don't keep one!"

"The Dog Emperor must die here today!"

The three bronze masks went crazy and desperately killed Zhu Xu, and the brocade guards instantly retreated again and again, sticking to Zhu Xu's side.

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, did not hurry, took out another iron can from his arms, handed it to Cao Bianjiao and said: "This is called the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle, there are fifty steel needles, you try it." ”

Cao Bianjiao hurriedly took it and aimed at the three black copper masks that were approaching.

Puff puff

Cao Bianjiao turned violently, the silver light flashed, and steel needles shot out.

"Ah......h

Two of the bronze masks were caught off guard, and seven or eight men in black flew out upside down.

The black-clothed man in the lead had cold killing intent in his eyes, and he came over again with a long knife. Fierce and powerful, he slashed desperately at the small shield of the Jinyi Guard.

"There will be reinforcements right away, block it for me!" Cao Bianjiao drank heavily, his body was already stained with blood, and he still fought bravely.

Li Dart and the others were also trying their best to kill, and they were blocked by Zhu Xu several times, and they were too late to rescue.

"Dog Emperor, come here!"

The bronze mask led the killing to Zhu Xu's approach, and the long knife slashed at the top of Zhu Xu's head.

"Traitor, don't be arrogant!"

Suddenly, Li Dingguo rushed out and stabbed him in the back with a spear.

The bronze mask leader's eyes were extremely unwilling, but he still quickly transformed, turned his long knife and greeted him.

"Kill!"

Wang Qiongyu drove the carriage and rushed over.

The carriage was scattered with piles of goods, and flames were scattered everywhere, scattering the group of assassins, and the formation and momentum were completely dispersed.

Zhu Xu watched silently, taking in the battlefield, this Li Dingguo is brave and strategic, all of this is from his planning.

The leader of the copper mask hated a lot in his heart, his eyes were cold, and he still refused to give up, shouting, "Kill, kill the dog emperor, if you miss today, you will have no chance!" ”

"Kill!"

The group of men in black also roared, rushing forward desperately.

"Wait for help!"

Just as the man in black rushed forward, a loud roar sounded not far away, and the sound of rapidly approaching horses' hooves.

The leading copper mask gritted his teeth fiercely, looked at the two copper masks lying on the ground, struggling, looked up at Zhu Xu, and said hatefully: "Dog Emperor, today is your fate, one day we will be anyway, reorganize the mountains and rivers, and want your dog's life!" ”

Zhu Xu looked at him, his face was calm, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Withdraw!"

The brass mask stood up and stepped back vigilantly.

Cao Bianjiao listened to the sound of horses' hooves, and was about to chase forward with a knife.

Zhu Xu pressed his shoulder, looked at the copper mask and shook his head, "No need to chase, let them go." ”

Cao Bianjiao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Obey the order." ”

"Don't chase anymore, keep defending!" Cao Bianjiao shouted at the crowd.

The man in black quickly retreated, and the brocade-clothed guard was in front of Zhu Xu.

Li Darttou, Li Dingguo, and Wang Qiongyu all packed up and walked over, and at the same time knelt down on one knee and said, "The grass people see the emperor, long live my emperor." ”

Zhu Xu looked at the three of them, smiled and waved his hand, "Well, you have made meritorious contributions this time, and after I return to Beijing, I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, so let's be even." ”

"Your Majesty." The three of them got up and stood not far from Zhu Xu.

Li Darttou was worried, he didn't expect that the noble prince who made him impatient would be the current emperor, and he didn't know that his identity had been discovered.

Wang Qiongyu's expression was flat, without joy or sorrow.

Li Dingguo was the most uneasy, he did not squeeze Zhu Xu along the way, if the emperor hated him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and looked at the place where the copper mask disappeared, his expression was calm, but the fingers behind his back kept tapping the back of his hand, and his eyes kept flashing with a strange light.

A group of cavalry galloped over, and one of the leading lieutenants hurriedly dismounted, knelt down on one knee towards Zhu Xu and said, "Weichen Chen Huxiao see the emperor." ”

Zhu Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Flat, it's timely." ”

Cao Bianjiao looked at Chen Huxiao, and suddenly realized in his heart, this person was from the Jingdong camp, no wonder he didn't know that the emperor had made this layer of defense.

Chen Huxiao was tall and big, with a rough face, looking at the corpses and gunsmoke on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you need your ministers to chase down the traitors?" ”

Zhu Xu shook his head lightly and said, "You let people clean up, it's late today, let's camp here, and a few of you come with me." ”

"Yes." Several of them were people with status, and after each gave a few orders, they followed Zhu Xu to the open space not far away.

Zhu Xu lifted his robe, sat down on a stone on the ground, and then beckoned to several people: "Sit down, no outsiders." ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all raised their hands and said, "Yes." ”

Not far from Zhu Xu, the five of them formed a semicircle, bowed slightly, as if they were going to listen to the hadith.

Zhu Xu leaned slightly on the big stone behind him, and said thoughtfully: "What do you think of today's group of 'bandits'?" ”

The highest ranking here belongs to Cao Bianjiao, he is not good at words, and he can't hide at this time, so he has to frown and say: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that it is the remnants of some criminal ministers, and they should be eliminated as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Xu was noncommittal, looked at Chen Hu and said, "Tell me." ”

Chen Huxiao didn't know the situation very well, so he had to say: "The ministers are soldiers, and they will listen to the emperor's will." ”

Zhu Xu didn't embarrass him, turned to Li Dart, and said, "You are Jinyiwei, you can talk about it." ”

Li Dart's expression changed slightly, but he didn't expect that his identity had been known by the emperor, his expression moved, and he bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, Jinyiwei noticed that the recent events in the capital were related to these bandits, and many attempts were fruitless, so he sent me to escort the dart, originally planning to pretend to be captured and go to find out the details...... Other details, Weichen does not know. ”

Zhu Xu's face remained unchanged, he didn't ask Li Dingguo and Wang Qiongyu again, and said with a smile: "'Anyway, reorganize the mountains and rivers', do you think ordinary 'bandits' or ordinary nobles can shout such slogans?" ”

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, even if they didn't know the situation, they still understood the meaning of these eight words.

This is clearly an attempt to misbehave!

Cao Bianjiao's face changed slightly, and he was silent.

He is in the center, even if he avoids the court situation, he should know that it will clearly fall into his ears.

There must be no problem at the top of the court, they have all been tested and relatively stable, but since the emperor ascended the throne, he has imprisoned the clan, abolished the cabinet, expelled the Donglin Party, and 'annihilated' the Eunuch Party. Jing Xungui was almost swept away, it can be said that the big forces before the Apocalypse were destroyed in the Chongzhen Dynasty, this is only the upper level, those at the bottom, there are many small fish and shrimp with no reputation.

If these forces secretly collude together to plot something, the power is absolutely terrifying!

Chen Huxiao is a military general, but he doesn't think much about it, but his eyes are glazed.

As for Li Darttou, Li Dingguo, and Wang Qiongyu, they are even less qualified to speak, they don't know much about it.

Zhu Xu didn't expect to get the desired answer from a few people, slapped his knee with his right hand, and said with a smile, "Tell me about your views on the new policy, well, Li Dingguo said." ”

Cao Bianjiao, Chen Huxiao, and Li Darttou are all people from the imperial court, and what they say may not be what Zhu Xu wants to hear.

Li Dingguo was stunned, and looked at Zhu Xu opening his mouth, a little dazed.

He was still very nervous, afraid that the emperor would settle accounts after the autumn, and when he heard Zhu Xu's name, his heart jumped subconsciously.

After a while, he looked up at Zhu Xu and saw that he was still smiling calmly, Li Dingguo felt a little calmer, calmed his mind, and thought in his heart: "Back to the emperor, the people are extremely supportive of the new policy, if there is no new policy, with the taxes during the apocalypse, most of our people in the southwest may starve to death." ”

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, this is the beneficiary of the new policy, looked at Wang Qiongyu, and said, "What about you, what do you think?" ”

Wang Qiongyu's expression was flat and said, "My life has not changed much. ”

Zhu Xu looked at her and said curiously, "No change?" Let's be specific. ”

Wang Qiongyu frowned, but did not speak.
