The dark clouds in the sky were lower. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I came out of medical school, a cold wind was blowing outside, and I saw that a heavy rain was about to pour down.

Xiao Ming looked at the ever-changing Qingzhou City with a smile, the hard work paid off, although almost eight years have passed in a hurry, but now the Great Chongqing Kingdom is undergoing incredible changes in his hands.

Industry, medicine, chemistry, architecture, and knowledge from the scientific and technological hedron are transforming the kingdom from a feudal dynasty to a modern state.

It's just that this is not enough for Xiao Ming, because for him, the Great Chongqing State still lacks the final unification.

Lin'an.

Li San is eating in a restaurant, because of the influence of Qingzhou, now stir-fried food has spread in the country of Chongqing, Lin'an businessmen have purchased iron pots and vegetable oil from Qingzhou, so there are also stir-fried dishes in a restaurant.

"The appearance is there, but unfortunately the taste is still a little lacking." Li San was a little dissatisfied with the stir-fried food in this restaurant, and the taste was too far from Qingzhou for him.

A young man sitting across from him did not speak, but looked at the grand procession outside the restaurant in silence, this was the hunting team of the King of Chu, and Li Chuyuan's return did not seem to disturb the annual hunting day.

"It's time to go!" After taking a bite of the dish, the young man said coldly, without any scruples about Li San being his top boss.

Li San is accustomed to the attitude towards the youth, this young man is called Wang Hu, born in Orion, and seems to have a natural talent for muskets.

In a short period of time after touching the musket, he became the top assassin of the secret guard.

"Hey, let's go, it's time to end this little life of the King of Chu, anyway, if we don't kill him, the Cao family will kill him sooner or later." Li San's eyes flashed with wisdom.

In the past few days, he has had a lot of contact with the secret guards who are in ambush in the city, and basically grasps the current situation in the Chu State, and it can be said that the changes that have taken place here have exceeded their expectations.

After these days of analysis and investigation, he basically had no hope of recovering the state of Chu peacefully, because even if the king of Chu died, they would still face the merchant council.

Because according to their knowledge, in addition to encouraging the king of Chu to open up the people's group training, the merchant council also bribed some generals under the command of the king of Chu, and these generals led all new troops, which is enough to see the sinister intentions of the merchant council.

From the very beginning of the formation of the merchant council, Cao Kun decided to overthrow the king of Chu and establish a kingdom similar to the Western system.

After paying the money, Li San and Wang Hu went out of the restaurant, and they were already prepared on the way from the King of Chu to Wangjia Linyuan, and now they only need to rush there.

Glancing at the team that stretched for several miles, and then at the hundreds of hunting dogs in the team, Li San frowned, I have to say that this King of Chu's faction is indeed very big, and even the emperor is even bigger.

It is no wonder that people all over the world say that Chu is rich in the world.

Following the hunting team out of Lin'an City, Li San and Wang Hu set off quickly to the ambush point, and whether they could kill the King of Chu was in one fell swoop.

Half an hour later, they reached a hillside, and they led the horses to a wooded field and tied them up, so that they could prevent them from being discovered.

Then the two of them ran over the hill to another hill three miles away, and in order to be cautious, the location just now was not the ambush site, it was the real ambush site.

When they arrived at the designated position, suddenly a row of secret guards covered in weeds stood up, and they immediately helped Li San and Wang Hu to disguise.

The withered yellow weeds quickly integrated the two of them with the surrounding environment, and this time, for safety, Li San also wasted a lot of effort and took out the camouflage technique taught to him by the emperor.

In addition to this, they also carried smokeless gunpowder this time, in order not to expose themselves as much as possible.

After the camouflage was completed, Wang Hu and Li San lay down, and at this time Wang Hu picked up the first breech rifle made by Song Changping.

Taking out the paper shell bullet and placing it beside him, Wang Hu calibrated the scope, and then licked his fingers to test the wind direction and strength.

The knowledge of these snipers comes from the information provided by the Imperial Palace.

In addition to Wang Hu, the other twenty members of the guards in ambush were armed with muskets, and in order to ensure the success of the assassination, they would conduct a second wave of shooting after Wang Hu's defeat.

Of course, for Li San, he didn't want a second time.

Everything was ready, and at this time, Li San saw through the telescope the King of Chu and his party walking towards the mountain road.

Two quarters of an hour had passed, and the hunting party had come into range of their shots.

At this moment, Wang Hu's eyes suddenly became like falcons, and the muzzle of his gun moved slowly, aiming at the King of Chu who was guarded by everyone in the middle.

For the sake of concealment, and for their own safety, this time their position was three hundred meters away from the King of Chu.

At this time, the king of Chu was completely unaware that the door of death had been opened to him, and Li Chuyuan's return made him a little upset.

For him, any decision made by Xiao Ming made him emotionally bored, and perhaps only hunting could make him forget the troubles in front of him.

Looking at the scenery on both sides, King Chu exhaled lightly, and suddenly, he noticed a glimmer of light flashing in the grass in the distance.

This bright light was similar to the sun shining on glass, and for a moment, King Chu's body stiffened, and instinct told him that he should dodge immediately.

But before he could react, he saw a flash of fire in the grass of the distant hills, followed by a sharp pain in his forehead, and he lost consciousness.

It was only after all this that the gunshots were heard.

"Assassin, Assassin!"

The king of Chu slowly fell off his horse with blood on his forehead, and the entire hunting team was in chaos for a while.

The guards protecting the King of Chu quickly galloped towards the hill three hundred meters away, when they saw a group of people covered in grass crawl up and quickly flee to the other side of the hill.

This assassination plan was tight, Li San naturally left a way back for his retreat, and there were already people waiting for them with horses under the hill.

Throwing off the camouflage on their bodies along the way, they got on their horses and fled in the direction of Jinling City according to the established route.

"Wang Hu, good job, this shot hit the forehead of the King of Chu, he can't still be alive." Li San said excitedly, he had an explanation for the emperor when he went back this time.

In terms of credit, he will not lose to Wang Xuan again.

Wang Hu was silent, his face was full of waves, as if the assassination just now had nothing to do with him, but the excitement in his eyes betrayed him.

The guards of the king of Chu chased all the way, but when they reached the ambush site, there was still an assassin here.

They looked at me, I looked at you, and then they scattered in all directions.

Now that the king of Chu is dead, even fools know that the state of Chu is going to change, whether to follow the merchant council or follow Li Chuyuan, now they have to choose.

As for the king of Chu, who cares about a dead man?
