Indestructible Diamond!
Zhu Zhanji activated the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art and shielded the fourth brother behind him. He glared at the assassin on the roof, and the arrows that hit him all fell to the ground with the sound of metal colliding.
The assassins on the roof were very experienced. After three rounds of arrow rain, they drew their swords and jumped off the roof. They surrounded them in groups of two or three.
The fourth brother pulled out all the arrows and roared.
"Protect Lord Huang!"
"Quickly protect Lord Huang!"
A few surviving Brocade Guards immediately came to Zhu Zhanji's side and formed a wall of flesh.
"Get lost!"
"Kill them!"
Zhu Zhanji drew his sword and charged at the assassin."The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Kill!”
Seeing this, the Embroidered Uniform Guards also raised their sabers and roared as they charged forward.
"Kill them!"
The sword and knife collided, and Zhu Zhanji kicked the assassin away. Then, he was slashed in the back. He turned around and slashed back, and his abdomen was stabbed again. He stared at the assassin and beheaded him. Blood sprayed all over his face. In the blink of an eye, he had killed three people. He was like a god of death from hell, killing another group of assassins.
Accompanied by the sound of the sword piercing into the bone marrow, Zhu Zhanji opened and closed, killing six assassins in a blink of an eye!
The assassins were terrified. They widened their eyes and looked at Zhu Zhanji, who was invulnerable.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards also took the opportunity to kill three of them.
"Retreat!"
With a cry of unwillingness, the remaining six or seven assassins disappeared into the corner of the street in the blink of an eye.
When he turned around, Zhu Zhanji and Sun Ruowei's eyes filled with hatred met!
"Sir, are you alright?" Fourth Brother asked carefully.”
Zhu Zhanji rubbed the place where he was cut and asked casually,""Did you catch him alive?"
"Our brothers captured three of them alive!" Little Four said.”
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said,"Take these three into the imperial prison!" We must interrogate their accomplices!"
"Sir, these two are very likely the assassins 'accomplices!" Fourth Brother reminded.”
"I still have great use for the two of them. Do as I say. There's no need to ask!" Zhu Zhanji said lightly.”
"Yes!" Fourth Brother hurriedly accepted the order respectfully.”
……
The Imperial Palace!
Zhu Zhanji didn't even change his clothes and came to see him.
In the study room!
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were arguing about today's assassination in front of Emperor Zhu Di!
Zhu Gaoxu said sarcastically," Crown Prince, you don't understand battle formations and don't know the risks involved. Assassins trying to assassinate the Emperor on the streets, are you going to pretend that nothing has happened? You are so anxious to suppress the matter. Is it because you have something to do with the assassins, or do you have some unspeakable thoughts?”
"What a heart-wrenching argument!" the Crown Prince retorted. You're saying that there's no gentleman in the eyes of a villain!”
"Big brother, in your eyes, who is the gentleman and who is the villain?" Zhu Gaoxu sneered.”
Emperor Zhu Di walked over slowly and said with killing intent,""This Emperor has personally led the army for a year and fought a bloody battle with Arutai. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen after I returned to the capital. Hundreds of thousands of Arutai cavalry were killed by this Emperor, but this Emperor almost died in the hands of these assassins today. If the King of Han hadn't detected the assassins 'deployment in advance, I'm afraid that the Crown Prince wouldn't have come today to greet him, right?”
"No…No, I…" The Crown Prince was so frightened that he said,"I…I…"
Looking at his son's weak and incompetent appearance, Zhu Di became even angrier. How could he look as wise and mighty as him? Is it really okay for me to hand over the country to him?
The King of Han immediately added insult to injury." Father, your son is willing to personally lead the Five Cities Military Department to arrest the murderer. However, not only is the Crown Prince unwilling to hand over his power, he is also unwilling to seal the city gates. He is clearly in cahoots with the assassin. Father!" You must investigate this matter thoroughly!"
The Crown Prince was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and trembled even more violently. He stammered,"Father…I never meant that!"
Zhu Gaoxu was full of pride. He looked at the fat figure on the ground with disdain. He even needed the help of eunuchs and maids to walk. How could such a person be qualified to be the emperor? Among the three princes, only he could take on the great responsibility. He thought of what his father said to him at Jiangpukou that day," Your brother is not in good health. You have to work harder." His heart was burning. It seemed that if he worked harder, the throne would be within his grasp!
At this moment, Zhu Zhanji walked in and said,"Greetings, Imperial Grandfather! Greetings, Father!" Greetings, Second Uncle!"
Zhu Di's gloomy expression immediately turned into a warm spring breeze. Seeing Zhu Zhanji covered in blood, he said in surprise,""What, did you fight an assassin?”
Zhu Gaochi, who was kneeling on the ground, finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his son come in.
Zhu Zhanji looked at his trembling father, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart. He smiled and replied,"Reporting to Imperial Grandfather, not only did your grandson fight with the assassins, but he also captured three of them alive!”
"What?!" Zhu Gaoxu turned pale with fright. You captured the assassin alive!"
Zhu Zhanji turned his head and smiled faintly." Nephew captured the assassin alive. Second Uncle doesn't sound happy!"”
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly shook his head and smiled awkwardly.""No! How was this possible? Second Uncle is just worried about you! This group of assassins was so audacious that they even dared to assassinate the emperor. In Second Uncle's opinion, it was better to hand them over to the Northern Garrison Office to deal with!”
Zhu Di nodded thoughtfully.
Zhu Zhanji smiled." Royal grandfather, since the assassin has already shown his traces, I don't think we should close the city gates and search for him. If we make a big fuss, Jianwen will look down on us!"”
Zhu Gaoxu said unhappily," Nephew, what do you mean by this? That assassin killed the Emperor, the ruler of the Ming Dynasty. Shouldn't we kill them all? Nephew, just because you caught three assassins, you can't think that they will give up. We must kill them all to eliminate future troubles!"”
Zhu Di nodded slightly.”
Zhu Gaochi was shocked,"Father, this…this won't do!"”
Zhu Gaoxu was excited again and sneered,""Crown Prince, I don't understand. Why do you always say no every time I talk about catching assassins? If word gets out like this, what will everyone think? Father and I believe you, but I'm afraid outsiders won't believe you!”
Zhu Gaochi was sweating profusely, but the more anxious he was, the more nervous he became. He could only say, I, I, nothing!
Zhu Zhanji turned around and smiled at his father, then turned back and said,""Second Uncle, why do you misunderstand my father's meaning? I still want to ask Second Uncle, how did you know that Jingnan's orphan plotted to assassinate Imperial Grandfather? If someone tells us, please hand them over and let Imperial Grandfather personally interrogate them. Not only can we eliminate Jingnan's orphan, but we can also find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen and find the lost Imperial Seal!”
"What?!"
Zhu Di's eyes flashed as he stared at Zhu Gaoxu."Second Brother, what do you think?"
