Iron Dynasty

Chapter 12: Assassinate

   It was evening when he came out of the Department of Equipment, a trace of red clouds, one person and one horse, pulled out a long figure of Xiao Ming on the Huangtu Road in Qingzhou City.

   It’s also tiring to teach technology. Now Xiao Ming’s mouth is dry, but today is a historic step for him. Pure steel lathes are already in practice.

   He was still a little confused when he came to this world, and now this confusion is replaced by the passion of climbing the technological tree.

   Xiao Ming never thinks that an ordinary person can change an era. He is very fortunate that he is a prince, not a passerby.

  In the country of Da Yu, the deep-rooted imperial ruling thinking and the small peasant economy since ancient times have made equipment lack the power to be promoted.

  The abundance of the population makes labor cheap and even loses the value of machinery.

  In modern times, if Western guns hadn't knocked on the door of feudal imperial power, this kind of heavenly and self-sufficient farming economy would continue.

   So in his opinion, industrial change needs power to promote, and he does not want this power to come from outside.

   This is also the reason why he is fortunate that he is a prince, because he is the supreme ruler of the fief, he can act as this force to promote industrial change, and the existence of the science and technology library provides such support.

   thinking along the way, when passing a private square, some silk and bamboo sounds suddenly came into his ears, Xiao Ming raised his eyes and looked at it.

   Opposite him is the Cuizhufang where the Wang family’s house is located. It is estimated that the family banquet of the Wang family has already begun.

   As for the guests of this banquet, he doesn't need to think about it. They must be the Qin family, the Wei family, and the Sun family.

   Qingzhou, these four big families have been in-laws with each other for a long time, and they have close contacts.

   Another woman's smile came. Xiao Ming hurried back and refused Wang Shijie's invitation. It was really hard for him to be Liu Xiahui.

   At the same time, he comforted himself in this way. This banquet is so absurd that it is not good to get sick.

   was thinking about himself, at this moment a bowstring trembling sounded not far from him.

   Xiao Ming has a feeling that all his hairs are exploding. The country of Da Yu is established by military force. This royal boy has been trained in bow and horse since he was a child.

   is particularly familiar with bows and arrows, and the laws of the country of Great Yu state prohibit civilians from hiding weapons.

   Now there is the sound of bow and arrow bowstrings in the folk house not far from him. There is only one possibility-the assassin.

   He instinctively turned sideways and hid to the other side of the horse.

  At this time, a bow and arrow arrived at the sound, and it was nailed straight to the dirt wall of the private building.

   "Assassin!"

   The instinctive stress reaction in Xiao Ming's memory saved him, and he immediately called for help.

   At this moment, a group of cavalry patrolling the city heard the call for help and rushed over immediately.

   "Your Highness!" A cavalry headed by rushed over, but it was Lu Fei.

   Really facing life and death, Xiao Ming was still a little flustered. He saw Lu Fei and said, "Someone has assassinated this king. Get it for me!"

At this moment, Lu Fei saw the arrow on the wall, looked at the direction where the arrow came from, and shouted: "Immediately seal the city gate. No one is allowed to leave the city without my order. You two will **** your Highness back, and the others will follow I come."

   Two cavalrymen responded, protecting Xiao Ming from left and right.

   "I want to live." After the initial panic, Xiao Ming said coldly, it was no joke that someone wanted to kill him.

   "Yes, Your Highness!" Lu Fei led the others and immediately surrounded the opposite folk house, while a cavalry went to each city gate to send orders.

   Back to the palace, Qian Dafu saw Qin Le's embarrassed look all over his body, panicked, "His Royal Highness, you, you are..."

   "Someone wants to kill this king." Xiao Ming frowned. This Xiao Ming had done a lot of bad things before, and now he can't be sure even the most important suspect.

   Qian Dafu was frightened by Xiao Ming's words. He touched Xiao Ming up and down to check whether Xiao Ming was injured.

   "It's okay, Lieutenant Lu happened to pass by, and I was not hurt." Xiao Ming calmly said.

   "That's good, that's good, it scares the old slave to death, Your Highness, these two should stay in the palace and don't go out, wait until the killer is caught." Qian Dafu's worries showed on his face.

   It's just that Xiao Ming underestimated Lu Fei's work efficiency. Before he entered the palace, a rumble of horseshoes came and Lu Fei arrived with a team of cavalry.

   Now all the mounts of Lu Fei and others have been replaced by barbarian horses, all of them tall and strong, and their armors are also shining. Lu Fei threw one person off the horse at this time.

   "Your Highness, the assassin caught it."

   "Dead?" The corpse that fell to the ground was a refined man, but at this time there was a big hole in his neck, blood flowing.

   "When he found him, he cut his neck when he saw that he couldn't escape. Your Highness, this is no ordinary killer, he must have been trained, otherwise he would not commit suicide so decisively." Lu Fei frowned.

   was silent for a while, Xiao Ming said, "Then who is going to kill me?"

   Generally looking for motives for murder is basically to infer who can get the most benefit. The local tycoons will not want to die for the time being, because Xiao Ming was faint enough in the past and still has the value of use.

   And if Xiao Wenxuan kills him, it's very simple. There is no need for such a lot of effort. Such assassinations are generally based on the throne struggle and internal power.

   "His Royal Highness, this kind of arrow was the only one I saw when I was in Shu. It is a cloud-piercing arrow produced in Shu." Lu Fei handed an arrow carved with clouds to Xiao Ming.

   "The land of Shu, the king of Shu?" Xiao Ming's face sank like water.

   Among the princes, the Shu king had the worst relationship with him. Because they were similar in age, they fought secretly when they were in Chang'an. The two had a fight.

   But the land of Shu is thousands of miles away, will the king of Shu send an assassin to kill himself?

   "The King of Shu?" Qian Dafu's eyes rolled. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   "Not necessarily." Lu Fei's thinking is similar to Xiao Ming, "Although Chuanyunjian is a specialty of Shu, it is not unavailable in other places."

   "If I die, who will get the most benefit." Xiao Ming said solemnly.

   Qian Dafu shook his body slightly at this time, his eyes showed a trace of worry.

   Lu Fei saw Qian Dafu's strange look, and couldn't help asking: "Does the money steward know anything?"

   After hesitating for a while, Qian Dafu sighed, "The old slave is just a guess, your Royal Highness still remembers the three princes who have been very close to the five princes?"

   "I remember that the prince is incompetent. Now the third prince and the fourth prince are the most holy favorites. Rumor has it that the father has the intention of ruining the reserve. Now the fourth prince and the third prince are fighting fiercely. What's wrong with me?" Xiao Ming said.

   "His Royal Highness has forgotten that when he fled back to Chang'an three years ago, who had spoken before the emperor and let the emperor spare His Highness." Qian Dafu asked.

   "Four princes!" Xiao Ming suddenly vomited blood in anger. At that time, Xiao Ming was rescued by the four princes.

   This is tantamount to telling the other princes that he has mixed with the fourth prince.

"Yes, once the prince is abolished, and the prince fights for savings, the Kingdom of Da Yu will probably be another **** storm. Behind all the princes, you can see the figures of the five surnames and seven eyes." Qian Dafu said, "I heard the other day. According to the news, it seems that the fifth princes also encountered an assassination in the fief. At that time, some people suspected that the fourth princes were doing it to cut out the wings of the third princes."

  Xiao Ming said slowly: "You mean that this time is the third prince's revenge on the fourth prince, and you also want to cut out the wings of the fourth prince-me?"
