I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

Zhu Gaoxu, who had reconciled with the old man in the past few days, stretched out his hand and patted the heavy artillery, his face full of disbelief.

Zhu Gaosui also nodded in agreement, and also raised doubts in his heart.

"That's right, let's not talk about whether it can go that far? With the weight of this thing, once it rains in the grassland, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to move!"

Zhu Zhangui ignored the two, and said directly to the old man: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Grandpa, you will know if it is as powerful as I said."

Zhu Di nodded in approval.

"Okay, let's try its power and see if it can hit as far as the brat said. If it doesn't reach the range you said, even less than half, Grandpa will punish you."

Zhu Zhangui smiled confidently, and stretched out his hand to invite the old man to wait at the viewing platform in the distance.

When everyone came to the viewing platform, the gunners of the Shenji Battalion, who had been prepared a long time ago, quickly stepped forward and pushed out the light artillery.

According to the standard requirements, the artillery chief first checked the artillery, and after confirming that it was ready for firing, he began to order the artillery to be loaded.

The loader, who had been on standby for a long time, took out a fixed charge bag and stuffed it into the barrel of the gun. The assistant next to him quickly took the pole wrapped in cotton cloth and pushed the charge bag in. At the same time, he stuffed a cushion made of hemp rope into the barrel. It is used as a grid baffle, and finally the prepared round shells are put into it.

After the previous steps were completed, the gunner pierced the fixed gunpowder pouch with a hook and inserted a silver wire into it.

At the same time, he reached out his hand to signal to Zhu Zhangui that the artillery was ready to shoot.

"Hehe, with this speed, when they get it right, the cavalry will have rushed to the front."

Seeing such complicated steps, Zhu Gaoxu sneered disdainfully, and Zhu Gaosui also chuckled in agreement.

Zhu Zhangui, who was just about to give an order, looked at Zhu Gaoxu upon hearing this, saw his disdainful expression, rolled his eyes slightly, and said with a smile:

"This is the first time a new type of artillery fires, which is of great significance. Why don't you give this opportunity to your second uncle?"

Hearing this proposal, Zhu Gaoxu's heart tightened.

This kid Zhu Zhangui is very deceitful, he doesn't believe that this kid would be so kind and give up this honor to himself.

"Second uncle, don't you dare?"

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu wanted to refuse, Zhu Zhangui spoke aggressively.

This trick has tried all kinds of tricks on Zhu Gaoxu.

"There's nothing to dare, isn't it just to fire a cannon, it's not like I didn't let it go."

Zhu Gaoxu snorted softly, jumped off the viewing platform, strode to the gunner's side, grabbed the torch, ignored the gunner's warning, and directly stabbed it.

"boom!"

The lead wire caught fire, and with an ear-shattering roar, the cannon cart backed up violently, and a projectile whizzed out, flew nearly a thousand meters and then landed on the ground. After a few big bounces, it slowly stopped .

Beside the cannon, Zhu Gaoxu threw away the torch, rubbed his ears vigorously, and glared at Zhu Zhangui viciously.

Damn, I was tricked by this little bastard again.

Chapter 69: My knife can really kill people.

Zhu Di was very satisfied with the test results of the three types of artillery.

After boasting about Zhu Zhangui and meeting some important craftsmen, the old man returned to the palace with satisfaction.

Before leaving, he told Zhu Zhangui to finish the work at hand as soon as possible and go back to prepare for the big wedding in a month.

Ever since Zhu Zhangui confirmed the candidate for the imperial concubine, the Ministry of Rites began preparations for the big wedding.

As the emperor's grandson, Zhu Zhangui naturally doesn't need to worry about the six rituals. The Ministry of Rites and his wife Zhang will make all the arrangements.

The only thing Zhu Zhangui has to do is to learn the wedding etiquette and prepare for marriage.

Zhu Di and others were sent away, Zhu Zhangui made some arrangements, and prepared to return to the East Palace.

Zhu Pangpang had already said when he left that he would go back tonight no matter what, and said that he had something to explain to Zhu Zhangui.

When Zhu Zhangui asked what happened, Zhu Pangpang didn't say anything, but just smiled and said it was a good thing.

Thinking of the good things that his father said, Zhu Zhangui made some arrangements and left the camp in the south of the city with his guards.

"Notify sir quickly, he is gone."

Just as Zhu Zhangui led his people out of the camp, a man dressed as an apprentice quickly whispered something in the ear of the master beside him.

The old master nodded, went to a nearby birdcage to tease a few times, and released the bird while no one was paying attention.

The bird was so fast that it disappeared into the camp in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Zhangui, who entered the city, did not return to the palace immediately, but went to the house of Xuanwu Lake first.

After confirming the recent income and replenishing some goods, Zhu Zhangui returned to the East Palace after lunch.

Since the Xuanwu Lake house is close to the Taiping Gate, Zhu Zhangui would enter the palace through the Taiping Gate every time he returned to the palace from Xuanwu Lake.

As the back door of the palace, the Taiping Gate is very strictly guarded.

Coupled with the fact that the location is a bit remote and it is close to the imperial palace, there are hardly any people walking here.

Driving along the Lianyin trail with his guards, Zhu Zhangui hummed a little song and walked leisurely along the way.

But as he walked, Zhu Zhangui stopped the horse, and his expression gradually turned cold.

The road ahead was blocked by several carriages at some point.

"There are assassins, protect Your Highness!"

The commander of the guard shouted loudly and took Zhu Zhangui among them.

He took off the shield hanging on the horse, looked around vigilantly, and guarded Zhu Zhangui and slowly retreated.

"Crash!"

Unfortunately it was too late.

As Zhu Zhangui and others stopped, hundreds of masked men rushed out holding bows, crossbows, knives and swords, and surrounded Zhu Zhangui and others.

"Take him down and save the emperor."

A masked man in the lead shouted coldly, brandished a knife and ordered to attack.

"Hehe, you Jianwen remnants, it seems that my heart is too soft, making you think I'm easy to bully."

Zhu Zhangui sneered, pulled out his saber, and swung it forward.

"Leave the thief leader, and kill the others!"

"kill!"

Zhu Zhangui's order was issued, and dozens of guards drew their swords without fear, and guarding Zhu Zhangui rushed to the enemy head-on.

"Bang bang bang!"

Before the men and horses of the two sides came into contact, the three guards who rushed to the front pulled out their pistols and fired fiercely at the front.

In an instant, the bullets flew wildly.

The few masked men who rushed to the front were directly thrown to the ground.

"Damn it, shoot the arrow!"

The leader of the masked man dared to resist when he saw the other party, and was so angry that he ordered the archers who were vigilant outside to shoot arrows immediately.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Dozens of arrows pierced the space and let out a sharp roar, flying towards the guards.

"Ding Ling Dang!"

It's a pity that they underestimated these guards, and the flying arrows were chopped off by the guards with their swords before they could touch them.

Those who can protect Zhu Zhangui are all experts in the guard battalion.

Each of them is a hero who has experienced many battles and rolled among the dead more than once.

Not to mention the battle of hundreds of people in front of them, they have all experienced the chaotic fighting of tens of thousands of people.

Picking up the flying arrows, the leader of the guard roared angrily, waved the ring sword in his hand, and rushed into the enemy's formation.

The cold light flickered, the blood was soaring, and there were screams again and again.

Dozens of guards protected Zhu Zhangui, ignoring hundreds of people, and rushed to the masked leader in a rampage.

"Bastard, stop them."

Zhu Zhangui and others broke through the siege of his subordinates with just a few breaths, and came straight to him, scaring the masked leader to turn around and run away.

"Hehe, I want to run, it's too late!"

Zhu Zhangui, who was guarded by his men, threw away the blood-stained steel knife, pulled out a quick-fire pistol, and pulled the trigger at the masked leader.

"boom!"

Following the gunshot, the leader of the masked man screamed and fell to the ground clutching his thigh.

"catch him!"

Looking back at the masked man who was desperately chasing him, Zhu Zhangui asked his subordinates to take the wounded leader of the masked man to avoid the flying arrows and head for the Xuanwu Lake house.

All the way into the house, the leader of the guards ordered people to gather people to arrest the assassin, while Zhu Zhangui looked at the masked leader who was thrown from the horse with a cold face.

"Shh!"

One of the guards tore off the mask on the opponent's face, revealing the appearance of the masked leader.

"Hehe, who was I at the time? It turned out to be Mr. Huangfu. You are not an official with my second uncle, so how come you are Jianwen's subordinate?"

Seeing the other party's face clearly, Zhu Zhangui showed a happy smile on his face.

Stepping forward to step on the other's injured leg, Zhu Zhangui greeted him kindly.

"Ah~"

The wound was stepped on hard, and Mr. Huangfu let out a heart-piercing howl in pain.

He wanted to stretch out his hand to push Zhu Zhangui's foot away, but was firmly held down by several guards. The pain was so painful that veins popped up on his forehead, and his body twitched uncontrollably.

Greeting each other warmly, Zhu Zhangui squatted down with a smile and looked at Mr. Huangfu.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Humph!"

Mr. Huangfu snorted coldly and turned his head aside.

"Clap!"

Zhu Zhangui clapped his hands and praised: "I just like tough people like you."

After complimenting the other party, Zhu Zhangui got up and told a guard: "Tell Ji Gang, I want all the people involved in the assassination to be arrested before dark. If he can't do it, for Yun'er's sake, let him go to the police station in front of him." Kill yourself before dawn tomorrow, so I can keep his whole family alive."

"As ordered!"

When one of the guards left, Zhu Zhangui pointed at Mr. Huangfu, "Take him to the gate of the Second Uncle's Mansion, go to Jinyiwei Prison to find a knifeman, cut him alive, and don't let him die within three days .If he dies, let the whole family of the knifeman go down to accompany him."

After another guard left, Zhu Zhangui looked at the guard commander with a cold face.

"Go and tell the old man that the weather is cold today, let him go to bed early, and tell him that if the old man goes to bed early today, I don't want any income from the Wa Kingdom."

"As ordered!"

After giving the order, Zhu Zhangui sat on the chair with a smile on his face and looked at the gate.

"It seems that no one believes my methods overseas. Since you don't believe me, I will show you that my knife kills people really quickly."

Chapter 70: Since I can't catch you, I'll break you down.

"My lord, something happened to my lord, something happened."

Ji Gang is in a very good mood these past few days. His niece is about to become a concubine, and Ji Gang is about to become a relative of the emperor. His status is about to be improved a step further. He is happy to see everyone.

Zhu Di summoned him yesterday morning and gave him a few words of encouragement.

Yesterday afternoon, the crown prince also invited him to have a drink, and the two of them had a pleasant conversation.

And during the conversation, the prince also implicitly promised that as long as he will serve Zhu Zhangui well in the future, he can choose to ignore the past.

Ji Gang is very happy about this.

With the promise of the prince and grandson, as long as they obey their orders in the future, the family can prosper for at least three or four generations.
