Chapter 214 Assassination
Luo Yangyan also has a good intention. This is the crown prince, so how can he not have a guard around him? He was really worried just by relying on a secret guard Meng Fanchao.
Zhu Cilang smiled slightly: "No, the Beizhen Fushi is not far from the military battle. Besides, I am traveling in a very low-court manner, as long as I go to cause trouble. Is there anyone else who can rob you in broad daylight?"
The Beizhen Fushi is indeed busy enough because it needs to check the records of these merchants. The Jinyiwei is also busy. Since Zhu Cilang said that, Luo Yangxing is not good at saying anything: "Okay, your highness is careful all the way."
Zhu Cilang smiled bitterly. Luo Yang was too cautious. Who would dare to act rampant under the feet of the emperor? Besides, the secret guard Meng Fanchao around him is not a vegetarian. An ordinary gangster, one can deal with ten or eight.
At this moment, Zhu Cixuan took Meng Fanchao and Sun Wangcai to leave the Beizhen Fushi Office for the military battle. Zhu Cixuan was very happy. This time, he finally alleviated the military salary dilemma of the Five Military Camps. Next, as long as he continued to collect commercial taxes every month, the three major camps would not have to worry about bad rectification.
The three of them left the Beizhen Fushi and left for about a cup of tea. Suddenly, Meng Fanchao stopped.
Zhu Cilang was stunned: "Lao Meng, what are you doing?"
Meng Fanchao's face suddenly changed: "Your Highness, be careful. From now on, you must follow your side without leaving your steps, and you must not act rashly."
Zhu Cilang was shocked and turned around in shock. Only then did he realize that more than ten people had followed behind him at some point. When the more than ten people saw Zhu Cilang turning around, they immediately flashed to the alleys on both sides of the alley.
Zhu Cixuan took a breath and someone followed him.
These people's waists were bulging, some wore headscarves and some wore headscarves, and they were obviously carrying guys. Could it be that they were coming to assassinate?
That's right, these people must be assassinating themselves. This is the imperial city, who are these people?
For the first time, Zhu Cilang felt deeply fearful. He felt that death was so close to him. Even when he surrendered Yuan Xiaoxiao and the others, even in Liaodong and even in Yizhou City, Zhu Cilang didn't realize anything at that time.
Now, Zhu Cilang only felt every hair on his back standing up. Because judging from the figures of these people, these are all well-trained assassins.
Assassins use money to buy their lives. Their purpose is very simple, which is to kill themselves. As long as they are targeted, you will have no room for resistance. They will not have any unnecessary nonsense with you. Once you get close, you will be fatal with one blow.
"Don't look back!" Meng Fanchao shouted in a low voice.
He is worthy of being a secret guard who has been chosen by many people. In the face of such a thing, Meng Fanchao remained calm in the face of danger. He told Zhu Ciyang not to look back. Because at this time, when you turn back, you will be alerting the enemy. Once they find that you are prepared, they will take action immediately.
"Or why, let's go back to the Beizhen Fushi." Sun Wangcai next to him was so scared that his voice changed.
Meng Fanchao whispered: "It's too late, they have cut off the back road. Your Highness, follow me, don't be three feet away from me."
It is fake to say that you are not nervous or afraid, Zhu Cilang took a deep breath and relaxed himself as much as possible: "Okay."
Meng Fanchao remained silent and took out something similar to a leather case from his arms. When someone was not paying attention, he quietly tied it to his right arm. It turned out that this was a sleeve arrow.
Zhu Ciyang has seen the sleeve arrow, at least the sleeve arrow in the novel is hit by a hundred steps. But this is the first time I saw the real thing, Zhu Ciyang couldn't help but become curious: "Sleeve arrow, can this thing kill the enemy?"
Unexpectedly, Meng Fanchao's words disappointed Zhu Cixuan: "It may disturb the enemy during close combat, but it is still difficult to kill the enemy."
The sleeve arrows include single-sleeved sleeve arrows, double-tube sleeve arrows, three-tale sleeve arrows, four-sleeved sleeve arrows, plum blossom sleeve arrows, seven evil sleeve arrows, etc.
A single sleeve arrow can only fire one arrow at a time. The arrow is simply 8 inches long and has a circumference of 8 minutes. The top of the barrel is covered, connected to the body of the barrel, and a hole is left in the center of the cover to load the arrow. There are movable butterfly pieces one to two inches away from the barrel cover, which are specially designed to open and close. The bottom plate is equipped with a spring, and a round iron plate is placed on the spring. After the arrow is loaded, the spring is pressed down and the arrow is locked in the barrel. The sleeve arrow is generally tied to the inner side of the forearm. When firing, the butterfly piece is pulled to trigger the machine. The spring is bounced up, and the arrow in the barrel can be ejected. The arrow is 7 inches long and the bead is 1 inch long. Each simple loaded arrow is 12 arrows.
Plum Blossom sleeve arrows can be continuously fired. The diameter of the arrow is about 1·2-1·5 inches, which is slightly thicker than a single sleeve arrow. There are 6 small tubes in the middle and 5 around it, like plum petals. Each barrel has a butterfly piece control switch, and there is an iron ring behind the cover of the box. After firing an arrow, the wall of the tube must be rotated to make it shoot continuously. The arrow of the plum Blossom sleeve arrow is only the same as a single sleeve arrow, but cannot be tied to the arm, but must be separated from the arm a little distance.
Several types of sleeve arrows have their own advantages and disadvantages, such as single-shot sleeve arrows, which have a long range and sufficient power. The disadvantage is that they can only be single-shot, which makes them troublesome to load.
The plum blossom sleeve arrow is much better, and can fire six shots in a row. The disadvantage is that the range is relatively close and the power is slightly smaller. If the enemy is prepared, it is easy to separate it with weapons.
The one tied to Meng Fanchao's right arm was the plum blossom sleeve arrow that could be continuously fired.
As a secret guard, you have to face sudden dangerous situations at any time. Those who want to assassinate the prince generally do not act alone. At this time, multiple sleeve arrows are much more useful than single sleeve arrows.
Meng Fanchao continued to walk forward with the two, pretending not to know if someone was following him. Sun Wangcai's heart was in his throat, because Meng's guard said he would not turn around, and he was very afraid that the people behind him would have followed him.
However, what scared Zhu Cilang was not the tail behind him, but seven or eight people appeared in front of them.
These seven or eight people simply did not cover up, and they directly blocked the middle of the road with their swords. Meng Fanchao just paused, and then suddenly walked quickly: "Your Highness, keep up!"
Meng Fanchao left quickly, and Zhu Cilang and Sun Wangcai hurriedly followed. At this time, there were enemies in front and behind. Meng Fanchao took the two of them and walked more than ten steps, then flashed into a small alley.
When we arrived at the alley, Meng Fanchao hurriedly said, "Run, run as fast as possible!"
Although Zhu Cilang had not been trained, he also understood what tactics Meng Fanchao used. Since he discovered the tail behind him, he pretended not to see it and waited for an opportunity to find a way out.
At this time, you must not show a panic, otherwise they will immediately gather around you to fight to the death. At this time, you have to pretend to be calm, and the enemy will not dare to act rashly.
But when the enemy also appears in front of you, it will be a big deal. Meng Fanchao speeds up, but he still doesn't dare to run because if you run, the enemy will follow you.
When you turn around and leave the enemy's sight, you must run to avoid it.
