The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

Wu Zhang wailed, Lu Heng waved his hand and motioned to drag the person away. A Jin Yiwei next to him stepped forward and pulled back his knife without pity, Wu Zhang whimpered in pain again. Wu Zhang was quickly dragged away with his mouth gagged, and his ears became clear again. Lu Heng continued what he wanted to do just now and picked up a strangely shaped fire gun from the ground.

The Shenji Camp also has fire guns. For example, there are several boxes on Lu Heng's boat. However, Daming's fire guns are large and heavy to fire, while these fire guns are light and portable, with a caliber only as large as a round lead bullet, but their distance is much longer than that of the Daming fire gun, and the penetration force is also significantly increased.

Lu Heng was full of curiosity about this firearm. He played with it for a long time, gave it to Guo Tao, and said, "Take it back to study it."

Lu Heng left Guo Tao to clean up the battlefield, and he walked out with his hands behind his back. There was a group of people around the alley. Jin Yiwei saw him and quickly pleaded guilty: "The governor forgives his sins, his subordinates are not good at protecting his wife..."

Wang Yanqing intercepted Jin Yiwei's words: "I had to come here. How is your injury?"

After the fight just now, his wound cracked again, but facing Wang Yanqing, Lu Heng smiled lightly, and said, "No hindrance, just a scratch."

Wang Yanqing didn't believe it, could scratches have such a heavy bloody smell? By the firelight, she suddenly saw blood on his hand, and exclaimed, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Only then did Lu Heng notice that there was blood on his hand, which should have been splashed from the knife that stabbed his thigh just now. Lu Heng couldn't find the handkerchief for a while, wiped it on his sleeve, and said softly to Wang Yanqing, "It's not my blood, it was accidentally splashed by someone else."

There were many guards in Jinyi who were speechless, and the smell of blood and gunpowder did not dissipate. How could the Governor stand in such an environment and speak to his wife in such a gentle tone? Besides, who could accidentally splatter blood?

Wang Yanqing had no intention of investigating the leaks in his language, the most urgent task was to treat Lu Heng's wounds as soon as possible. She pressed her lips forward and took Lu Heng's hand. Lu Heng felt that her fingers were cold, he squeezed her tightly, and comforted: "It's okay."

As soon as they finished speaking, a blazing fire suddenly came from the other side of the night sky. Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing raised their heads together, Wang Yanqing saw the direction of the fire, his pupils tightened: "Is it our ship?"

After Zhu Yuxiu sent Wang Yanqing and Lu Heng away, her heart was still pounding. She hates that she is only a daughter and can't do anything for her father except cry. She hopes that these people can really bring evidence to the emperor and justify her father's injustice!

The grandmother still talked about bullying people from other places, and Zhu Wan was killed by these people. The old servant went to the kitchen to make a fire and cook, everything was as usual, as if it was just a dull and boring day in her life.

Zhu Yuxiu was flustered and turned around on the ground several times before thinking of going to the kitchen to help. When she was washing rice, she suddenly heard an explosion from outside, and across the silent night, those voices became distant and illusory. Zhu Yuxiu was stunned for a long time, then quickly put down the rice and rushed out in a hurry.

The grandmother also came out, holding the door frame and looking at the sky: "What's wrong?"

Everyone in the alley was startled by the fierce fire, but all the doors and windows were closed, and no one dared to go outside to find out. What's wrong? It's not that the Japanese pirates have entered the city. In the past, the Japanese pirates were robbing their homes in the villages. Unexpectedly, they are now so rampant that they have entered Suzhou City!

The only three remaining members of the Zhu family gathered around, pale with fright. If the Japanese pirates rushed into the house, they would have no power to fight back, given the population of their family. Grandmother Zhu was both angry and afraid, and she kept scolding in the twisted Wu language, sometimes scolding the damned Japanese pirates, and sometimes scolding the government with a black heart. Zhu Yuxiu sat next to her grandmother without saying a word, but she felt inexplicably that it was not the Japanese pirates who were on fire outside, but the group of people just now.

After I don't know how long I waited, the fire outside finally stopped. Everyone was obviously relieved, but before they could relax for a long time, the door that had always been silent in the Zhu family was suddenly knocked.

In the laneway where we fought just now, in the middle of the night deliberately silent, knocking on the door at this time is definitely not a good sign. The old servant staggered to the kitchen to get the stick. Zhu Yuxiu stopped the old servant and summoned the courage to ask, "Who is it?"

"Miss Zhu," said the person outside, "I accidentally dropped an item when I was giving you clothes just now. My young master ordered me to pick it up."

It's them! Zhu Yuxiu was relieved and got up to open the door. Outside the door, there was a guard with a familiar face. He quickly showed Zhu Yuxiu the token and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency said it might not be safe here. I'd like to ask Miss Zhu to pack her things as soon as possible and move with me."

The Zhu family was poor and had nothing to do. She didn't have time to explain to her grandmother, so she had to drag her grandmother and old servant out. Not long after they walked out, the grandmother suddenly pointed to the back and said, "Why is there a fire there?"

Zhu Yuxiu turned around and saw the fire burning in the sky. Many people quietly pushed the door open and pointed to the horizon.

On this seemingly peaceful night, no one in Suzhou City dared to go out, but they all realized that something different had happened.

Chapter 127

By the pier, Wu Sheng kept urging his subordinates to move things quickly, turning back from time to time, looking anxiously at the city.

He seemed to have heard the sound of fire just now, and more than once. Why does Wu Zhang open so many times? Did the assassination fail?

According to the plan, they should be out of town by now, but why is no one there?
