Iron Dynasty

Dark clouds hang down in the sky.

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

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

Industry, medicine, chemistry, architecture, and knowledge from technology spar are making Dayu develop from a feudal dynasty to a modern country.

It's just not enough for Xiao Ming, because for him, the Great Yu Kingdom still lacks the final unification.

Lin'an.

Li San is eating in a restaurant. Because of the influence of Qingzhou, cooking has spread in the Great Yu Kingdom. Most of the businessmen in Lin'an buy iron pots and vegetable oil from Qingzhou, so there are also cooking in every restaurant.

The appearance is there, but it's a pity that the taste is still lacking. Li San was a little dissatisfied with the cooking in this restaurant. For him, the taste was too far from Qingzhou.

A young man sitting opposite him did not speak, but silently glanced at the large team outside the restaurant. This was the team of the King of Chu hunting. 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 hesitation that Li San was his immediate boss.

Li San's attitude towards young people is accustomed to it. This young man's name is Wang Hu. He was born as a hunter, and seems to have a natural talent for muskets.

In a short period of time, he became the top assassin of the Secret Guard.

Hey, let's go, it's time to end the life of this King of Chu. Anyway, we didn't kill him, the Cao family would 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 guard members ambushing in the city, and basically has a grasp of the current situation in the Chu country. It can be said that the changes here have exceeded their expectations.

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

Because according to what they knew, in addition to encouraging the King of Chu to open up private group training, the Merchant Council also bought some generals under the King of Chu, all of whom were leading new troops.

From the very beginning of the formation of the Merchant Council, Cao Kun decided to overthrow the King of Chu and establish a country similar to the Western system.

After paying the money, Li San and Wang Hu left the restaurant. They had already made preparations on the way for the King of Chu to Wangjialinyuan, and now they just need to rush.

Looking at the team that stretched for several miles, and at the hundreds of hounds in the team, Li San frowned. I have to say that this King of Chu has a great style, even the emperor.

It is no wonder that people all over the world say that the state of Chu is the richest in the world.

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

After half an hour, the two reached a hillside, and then they led the horses into a wood and tied them up. The reason why they did this was to prevent the horses from being discovered.

Then the two ran across the hill to another hill three miles away. In order to be cautious, the location just now was not the ambush location, that was the real ambush location.

Arriving at the designated position, a row of secret guards with weeds all over their bodies suddenly stood up, and they immediately helped Li San and Wang Hu to disguise.

The withered weeds quickly integrated the two with the surrounding environment. This time, Li San wasted a lot of energy for safety, and took out the camouflage that the emperor taught him.

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

After the disguise was over, Wang Hu and Li San got down on the ground. At this time, Wang Hu picked up the first breech rifle made by Song Changping.

Taking out the paper shell bullet and putting it aside, Wang Hu calibrated the scope, and then licked his fingers to test the wind direction and wind force.

The knowledge of these sniping comes from the information provided by the palace.

In addition to Wang Hu, the other 20 secret guard members in the ambush were holding conscript muskets. In order to ensure the success of the assassination, they would conduct a second wave of shooting after Wang Hu failed.

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

When everything was ready, Li San saw the King of Chu and his party walking towards the mountain road through the telescope.

After a quarter of an hour, the hunting team entered their firing range.

At this moment, Wang Hu's eyes suddenly became like falcons, and his muzzle 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 location was 300 meters away from the King of Chu.

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

For him, any decision of Xiao Ming makes him emotionally bored. Perhaps only hunting can make him forget the troubles in front of him.

Looking at the scenery on both sides, the King of Chu let out a light breath, and suddenly, he noticed a light flashing in the grass in the distance.

This kind of light is similar to the sun shining on the glass. In an instant, King Chu's body stiffened, and his instinct told him to dodge immediately.

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

After all this happened, the gunshots came.

Assassin, Assassin!

The King of Chu was donating blood on his forehead and slowly fell off his horse. For a time, the entire hunting team was in chaos.

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

This time the assassination plan was strict, Li San naturally left a way out for his retreat, and there were already horses waiting for them under the hill.

Throwing off their disguise along the way, they mounted their horses and fled in the direction of Jinling City according to the established route.

Wang Hu, you did a good job. This shot hit the King of Chu in the forehead. He couldn't possibly still be alive. Li San said excitedly, this time he had explained to the emperor when he returned.

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

Wang Hu was silent, his face had no 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 after them all the way, but when they reached the ambush site, there was no assassin.

They look at me, I look at you, and then smash away.

Now that the King of Chu is dead, even the fools know that the state of Chu is about to change. They must choose whether to follow the Merchant Council or Li Chuyuan.

As for the King of Chu, who would care about a dead man?

PS: I went to the hospital to go through some formalities today, and one more update will be later.
