Iron Dynasty

In the dark night, only the lantern radiated a faint light.

Xiao Ming looked at the third prince's dark face in the candlelight, and was displeased. He couldn't help asking: Third brother, what do you mean by this?

Nothing 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, and he understood that he came to Chang'an to make these princes who regard Chang'an as their territory unhappy.

Glancing at Xiao Zhen lightly, Xiao Ming said, Thank you third brother for reminding me, but this country of Great Yu is the kingdom of the emperor, and this city of Chang'an is also at the feet of the emperor. Whether I can stay here or not is only the emperor's decision. No one else has the right to say that.

The smile on the face of the third prince solidified little by little, Xiao Ming's words were talking about his pain point.

The scene of Xiao Wenxuan's treatment of Xiao Ming at the family banquet is vivid in his mind, and now his position in Xiao Wenxuan's heart is on an equal footing with them.

Humph! The third prince said coldly, Qilang, you deserve a lot of credit, the third brother has nothing to say, it's just that the third brother is convinced, not necessarily the others, that's what the third brother said, you can understand it for yourself.

After all, the third prince put down the bead curtain, and the carriage gradually disappeared into the darkness.

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

Shaking his head, he also went to the palace under the protection of the guards.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Ming was still thinking about the unusual third prince, and the more he thought about the third prince, the more frightened he became.

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

He had no way of knowing what was going on here.

Just when he was worried, a sound of the bowstring loosening suddenly came. In the dark night, the sound of the bowstring was very clear.

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

Assassin! Protect His Highness!

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

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

There are assassins! the soldiers shouted.

However, the sound of the bowstring loosening continued. Xiao Ming could only hear the constant dong dong sound from the wooden planks of the carriage. At the same time, the neighing of the warhorses and the screams of the soldiers kept coming.

After the assassination in Qingzhou, Xiao Ming has strengthened his own security precautions. This time he came to Chang'an, he also specially prepared a musket for self-defense.

At this time, the danger was imminent, and he couldn't help taking out the musket hidden in the carriage.

His Royal Highness, we can't see the enemy in the dark. Please, Your Highness, stay in the carriage and don't come out. Zhao Long's voice was anxious.

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

Xiao Ming heard the words and looked at the box inside the carriage. This box contained fireworks to be used at the wedding banquet. He had an idea and asked Zhao Long and Zhao Hu to carry the fireworks box out, shouting: Quick, these are fireworks, just fireworks. It's bombed, everyone can see us here, and the light from the fireworks can let you see where the enemy is.

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

Boom...

Six fireworks exploded in succession in the air, and at the moment when the fireworks exploded, the ground was as bright as day.

At this time, Xiao Ming saw the men in black who were approaching them. There were hundreds of them. He lifted the bead curtain and looked behind the carriage. There were also hundreds of men in black approaching the carriage.

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. At this time, half of the cavalry was injured by the arrow.

Zhao Hu, you protect His Highness, the others come with me! Zhao Long roared.

Although they were attacked, the cavalry who protected Xiao Ming did not panic. These cavalry were all cavalry who had experienced the battle of Jizhou.

The slaughter on the battlefield tempered their steely will, pulled out the saber, and half of the cavalry followed Zhao Long and rushed towards the man in black.

And the wounded cavalry still did not give up the fight, they all gathered towards the carriage and resisted the shooting of the bow and arrow with their flesh and blood.

These cavalry are all cuirassiers. Although there is no plate armor, the cuirass on their bodies is cast to defend against bullets, because the thickness and hardness are much stronger than plate armor.

Therefore, although the soldiers were injured a lot in an instant, the injuries were all on the arms and thighs, and their heads were also protected from bows and arrows because of their armor.

Seeing Zhao Long lead people to rush out, Zhao Hu was not idle, and he scolded: You little rats, today your grandfather Zhao will teach you how to be human.

As he spoke, Zhao Long distributed the fireworks to the soldiers and shouted, Target the fireworks at these dog thieves and blow them up.

With that said, Zhao Long picked up a rocket, ignited it, and shot it into the crowd.

boom

The fireworks flew out and exploded among the men in black, and several screams sounded, and then the light of the fireworks illuminated the surrounding area.

Like a ghost, the man in black had reached the place where the carriage was less than twenty meters away.

At this time, other soldiers also picked up all kinds of fireworks and lit them, some of which were jet-type fireworks, which were enough to spray on the ground for one minute.

Such fireworks were lit, and suddenly, the surroundings continued to glow.

kill!

Zhao Long and more than 20 cavalrymen formed a tight formation and slammed into the man in black.

It's just that they can only block the black-clothed men from behind, but they can't care about the black-clothed men from the front.

kill!

The men in black burst into a roar when they entered the ten-meter range of the carriage, and they all charged at Xiao Ming with short swords in their hands.

Zhao Long threw the fireworks on the ground to take a look at the door. At this time, he led other soldiers to surround the carriage and looked at the man in black fiercely, If you want to kill His Highness, you have to step over our corpse.

Pulling out his waist knife, Zhao Long stood in front of the carriage by himself.

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 would not be peaceful here, but he did not expect that someone would want to kill him.

Thinking of the reminder in front of the palace of the Three Emperors, a layer of cold sweat formed on his back.

If it wasn't for the third prince, this incident would have been premeditated, someone wanted to kill him and then hurry up.

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.

There was a trace of cruelty at the corner of his mouth, Xiao Ming flew up, took out two muskets, and shot at the two men in black who rushed towards Zhao Long at the same time.

Boom!

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