Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"Which one?"

"That one." Fang Chenyu nodded his chin towards Li Ping, "His eyes don't look like he's a good person... Look, look! He's starting to stare at my dad again. If he's not looking at the Emperor, why is he looking at my dad? And with that kind of look."

Hatred grew wildly in Li Ping's heart.

He really couldn't help but want to take a few more glances at his enemy.

Aiming at the specific location, he'll kill him later! First castrate, then kill!

No, kill first and then castrate for safety!

Everyone's attention was focused on the dead soldier in front of Emperor Jing, who was tearfully recounting his experiences at sea.

Only two unnoticed children were secretly judging him.

Li Yu deeply agreed: "It seems like there's a problem. He's looking at you like Zhang Peng looks at you."

"Right! I told you! My dad didn't believe me!"

"Well... what do we do? What if you're wrong?" Li Yu asked.

Fang Chenyu whispered, "Whether I'm right or wrong, let the Embroidered Uniform Guard be on guard first. They all have guns."

"The adults don't trust us, so let's do it quietly."

"Okay!"

Fang Chenyu and Li Yu started to move secretly from the left and right sides of Emperor Jing at the same time.

Fang Chenyu walked to the Embroidered Uniform Guard on the left side of Emperor Jing and tugged at his sleeve.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard lowered his head and asked softly, "What are your orders, young master?"

"These people might be up to no good. Take your gun and be on guard."

"Hiss... Who did you hear that from?"

"My dad has already seen through everything. Just take your gun and be on guard."

"This subordinate obeys."

The Embroidered Uniform Guard immediately replaced the knife in his hand with a repeating short firearm and turned on the safety.

On the other side, the Embroidered Uniform Guard hunched over slightly, surprised, "Your Highness, how could they be plotting something? This was just an accidental encounter, and we even took the initiative to save them."

Li Yu said with a沉着 face: "I said maybe, so I'm telling you to get your gun ready in case something goes wrong."

"But..."

"But what? Does this prince's words not carry weight?"

"They do, they do! This subordinate obeys!"

The two little ones scurried around the ship, notifying each Embroidered Uniform Guard to hold their firearms in advance.

At this moment, all the people who had fallen into the water had been rescued and brought on board.

Fang Zheng and Li Yuanzhao frowned at the same time.

"What are those two little brats running around for?" Li Yuanzhao said angrily.

"Sigh... I shouldn't have brought them out. I'll go take care of them." Fang Zheng sighed and walked towards his son.

Just as he was about to brush past Li Ping.

Li Ping suddenly burst forth, drew a dagger from his boot, and roared loudly, "Do it!"

All the officials on the scene were stunned, completely unresponsive to the sudden shout.

They saw the dead soldiers who had been resting on the deck all stand up and rush towards Emperor Jing in unison.

"Kill!"

More than forty people coordinated their attack with tacit understanding, creating a terrifying momentum in this confined space on the deck.

Only one person was different, charging towards Fang Zheng.

The cold, gleaming dagger appeared before Fang Zheng's eyes in a flash of lightning.

But Fang Zong wasn't just anyone either.

As an old veteran, although he was getting older, his reaction speed was still top-notch!

Before anyone could react, he preemptively shouted loudly.

"Protect the Emperor!"

Then he quickly retreated, raised his right arm, and took a knife... blood spurted out.

Li Ping, with red eyes, waved the dagger like a madman, wanting to send him on his way with another stab.

Unfortunately, Fang Zong fell on his butt, and the second stab missed.

As he swung the third knife, a dense sound of gunfire rang out throughout the scene.

A bloody flower burst out on Li Ping's thigh, and he fell to the ground.

Sensing that Li Yuanzhao behind him seemed to have fired a gun, Fang Zheng used his hands and feet, sat on the ground, and hurriedly retreated, still reminding with a head full of cold sweat: "Leave him alive, he's the ringleader!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanzhao fired another shot, directly shattering Li Ping's right hand holding the knife, confirming that Fang Zheng was safe, and then ran towards Emperor Jing's side.

Having suffered two gunshots in a row, Li Ping no longer had the strength to stand up, but in the dark, there seemed to be a force controlling him.

The pain brought by the gunshot wound seemed to have been forgotten by him.

He saw him supporting himself with both hands, pushing off with his good leg!

The whole person lunged forward, and his bloodied mouth snapped open, fiercely biting towards Fang Zheng's crotch!

Fang Zheng was stunned!

What grudges do I have with you! Everyone else is assassinating the Emperor, why are you acting like a mad dog trying to kill me?

Li Ping, like a legless zombie, kept lunging forward, his mouth aimed at Fang Zheng's crotch, repeatedly opening and closing.

The sound made people shudder, as if his teeth couldn't wait to crush it.

Fang Zheng raised his big foot and kicked him in the face, exclaiming in shock and anger, "Kill him! Kill him quickly!!!"

Seeing that no one paid attention after shouting a couple of times, Fang Zheng took the opportunity to climb up by himself.

He quickly went around behind Li Ping, grabbed his good leg, and spun him around in circles.

Li Ping seemed to have transformed into a millstone, constantly being pulled and dragged by Fang Zheng on the ground.

While screaming and roaring, a bloody hand drew perfect circles on the ground...

The battlefield was clearly divided into two parts, one part was Fang Zheng's one-on-one fight with Li Ping, and the other part was a group fight.

On the other hand, Emperor Jing's side was much more presentable.

As soon as the word "do it" was shouted, Emperor Jing's figure didn't even sway, he just looked at the dead soldiers with cold eyes.

Looking at the other party's appearance, they only had short weapons, nothing to be afraid of.

But he couldn't figure out why the Great Jing merchants he had rescued on the way suddenly wanted to assassinate him.

Premeditated? That didn't seem likely.

Few people knew about his trip, and officials in the court couldn't have planned this assassination.

In addition, these people were civil merchants from the Maritime Merchants Association returning from overseas, and the timing was right.

Then the only possibility was assassins from overseas... encountered by chance.

But who could command so many Great Jing people overseas?

Emperor Jing was calmly thinking, the Embroidered Uniform Guard who had been prepared around him immediately drew the short firearms from their waists and shot at the enemy.

In just the first wave, half of the assassins were shot down.

The ministers all huddled in a corner of the deck, not daring to come forward.

Fang Chenyu and Li Yu also hid in the crowd, their eyes full of excitement.

I guessed right! I really guessed it!

Li Yuanzhao approached Emperor Jing and said with concern, "Father, are you okay?"

Emperor Jing nodded, looked around, and said coldly, "Those two ships are circling around. Immediately notify the people in the cabin to prepare to fire the cannons! Leave no one alive!"

"Father, come into the cabin with me. It's too dangerous here, we shouldn't stay long."

Emperor Jing raised his hand and said, "No need, they're just some petty thieves. I want to see where they came from and leave two alive for interrogation."

Only a few assassins were left on the deck, standing in place with their gunshot wounds.

Their hearts were already filled with despair.

They didn't expect the other side to have this strange weapon!

Kidnapping the Emperor was just a joke, it was just wishful thinking from the beginning....

Had they known this, they should have honestly followed His Majesty's plan.

Watching the remaining companions fall one after another, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had already begun to close in.

At this moment, a dead soldier held a dagger upside down and shouted angrily, "Die, you dog Emperor!"

A stream of light rushed towards Emperor Jing.

The flying knife came too fast. By the time Li Yuanzhao came to his senses, it had already pierced Emperor Jing's waist.

"Father! You've been stabbed!" Li Yuanzhao shouted in horror.

Emperor Jing covered the wound where blood was gushing out, glanced down, and said calmly, "What are you shouting about? It didn't hit a vital point, it's just a minor injury."
