In the darkness of the night, only the lanterns emitted a faint glow. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Ming looked at the three princes' faces in the candlelight, and felt displeased, and couldn't help asking, "Third brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you that this is Chang'an, and some people are not suitable to stay here." The third prince still said with a smile.

Xiao Ming's expression was cold, he understood that he had come to Chang'an to make these princes who regarded Chang'an as their own territory unhappy.

Glancing at Xiao Zhen lightly, Xiao Ming said: "Thank you for reminding me the third brother, it's just that this Dayu country is the country of my father, and this Chang'an City is also at the feet of my father. ”

The smile on the face of the third prince froze little by little, and Xiao Ming's words were talking about his sore spot.

The scene of Xiao Wenxuan's treatment of Xiao Ming at the family banquet is vivid, and now his status in Xiao Wenxuan's heart is equal to them.

"Humph!" The third prince said coldly, "Qilang, you have a meritorious third brother who has nothing to say, but the third brother is convinced, and not necessarily everyone else is also convinced, the third brother will say this, you can understand it yourself." ”

With that, the three princes lowered the bead curtain, and the carriage gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Quietly looking at the carriage of the third prince, Xiao Ming frowned, Xiao Zhen's sudden move made him a little confused.

Shaking his head, he also headed towards the palace under the protection of the guards.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Ming was still thinking about the three princes who were a little abnormal, and the more he thought about the three princes, the more frightened he became.

Looking at the endless night outside, Xiao Ming felt faintly uneasy in his heart, as the third prince said, at this time, Chang'an, not Qingzhou.

He couldn't know everything about the situation.

Just as he was worried, there was a sudden sound of a loose bowstring, and in the darkness of the night, the sound of the bowstring was very clear.

In an instant, all the hairs on Xiao Ming's body exploded.

"Assassin! Protect Your Highness! ”

Zhao Long and Zhao Hu also heard the sound of the bowstring, and they immediately shouted.

At the same time, hundreds of elite cavalry who were responsible for protecting Xiao Ming immediately organized groups to protect Xiao Ming's carriage in the middle.

"There are assassins!" The soldiers shouted.

But the sound of the bowstring loosening continued, and Xiao Ming only heard the continuous sound of "dong dong" on the wooden plank of the carriage, and at the same time, the sound of the neighing of war horses and the screams of soldiers kept coming.

After the assassination in Qingzhou, Xiao Ming has strengthened his own security precautions, and this time he came to Chang'an, he also specially prepared a musket to defend himself.

At this time, danger was imminent, and he could not help but pull out the musket hidden in the carriage.

"Your Highness, we can't see the enemy in the shadows at all, please stay in the carriage and don't come out." Zhao Long's voice was anxious.

Attacked in the darkness of the night, they can now only be beaten passively.

When Xiao Ming heard this, he looked at the box in the carriage, which was a firework to be used at the wedding banquet, and he had an idea, asking Zhao Long and Zhao Hu to carry the fireworks box out, shouting: "Quick, this is fireworks, as long as the fireworks explode, everyone can see that we are here, and the light of the fireworks explosion can also let you see where the enemy is." ”

Zhao Long and Zhao Hu had been guarding both sides of the carriage, and they immediately moved the fireworks outside, took torches and lit them into the sky.

"Boom ......"

Six fireworks exploded in the air one after another, and at the moment of the fireworks, the ground was as bright as day.

At this time, Xiao Ming saw the black-clothed people approaching them in front, there were hundreds, he lifted the bead curtain and looked behind the carriage, there were also hundreds of black-clothed people approaching the carriage.

And the bows and arrows on both sides did not stop from beginning to end, and they were surrounded at this time.

Outside the carriage, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu also saw the man in black, and at this time, half of the cavalry were injured by the bow and arrow.

"Zhao Hu, you protect Your Highness, and the others come with me!" Zhao Long roared.

Although they were attacked, the cavalry that protected Xiao Ming did not panic, and these cavalry were all cavalry who had experienced the Battle of Jizhou.

The killing on the battlefield honed their iron will, drew their sabers, and half of the cavalry followed Zhao Long and rushed towards the man in black.

The wounded cavalry did not give up the battle, and they gathered around the wagons, using their flesh and blood to resist the fire of their bows and arrows.

These cavalrymen were cuirassiers, and although they did not have plate armor, the cuirasses on their bodies were cast to defend against bullets, because they were much thicker and harder than plate armor.

Therefore, although the soldiers were injured a lot in an instant, the injuries were all in the arms and thighs, and their heads were also protected from the bow and arrow because of the armor they had to protect.

Seeing that Zhao Long led people to rush out, Zhao Hu was not idle, he scolded: "You rats with hidden heads and tails, today your Grandpa Zhao will teach you how to be a person."

As he spoke, Zhao Long handed out the fireworks to the soldiers and shouted, "Aim the fireworks at these dog thieves and blow them up." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Long picked up a rocket, lit it and shot it into the pile.

"Boom"

The fireworks flew out and exploded among the men in black, several screams rang out, and the light of the fireworks lit up the surrounding area.

The man in black was like a ghost, and he had reached less than twenty meters from the carriage.

The other soldiers also picked up various fireworks and lit them, some of which were jet-type fireworks, enough to shoot on the ground for a minute.

Such fireworks were lit, and suddenly, there was a continuous light around them.

"Kill!"

Zhao Long and more than twenty cavalrymen lined up in a tight formation and slammed into the man in black, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the screams continued to sound.

It's just that they can only block the black-clothed people who are blocking up from behind, but they can't care about the black-clothed people who come in front.

"Kill!"

The men in black erupted into a roar when they entered the ten meter range of the carriage, and each of them rushed towards Xiao Ming with short swords in their hands.

Zhao Long threw the fireworks on the ground and looked at the door, and then led the other soldiers to surround the carriage, and looked at the man in black fiercely, "If you want to kill Your Highness, you have to step over our corpses." ”

Drawing out his waist knife, Zhao Long stood in front of the carriage alone.

At this moment, the man in black rushed in front of him, and the guards in front of the carriage immediately fought with the man in black.

Xiao Ming sat in the carriage and watched all this, he thought that the trip to Chang'an here would definitely not be peaceful, but he didn't expect that someone would want to kill him.

Thinking of the reminder in front of the door of the Three Emperors' Palace, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

If it weren't for the three princes, this matter would have been premeditated, and someone would have killed him quickly.

The number of people in black is increasing, and the scene of Zhao Long and the guards fighting seems to be playing like a movie screen in front of Xiao Ming.

With a hint of cruelty at the corner of his mouth, Xiao Ming flew up, took out two muskets, and shot at the two black-clothed men who rushed towards Zhao Long at the same time.

"Bang bang!"

The two black-clothed men who had just rushed to Zhao Long's side fell under the sound of gunfire.
