Iron Dynasty

Barbarian?

In the imperial study, Xiao Wenxuan was surprised when he learned that the assassin was from a barbarian tribe.

Father, it's good that the assassins are from barbarians, but there were no less than 300 assassins who assassinated Erchen last night. How did such a scale of assassins enter Chang'an City? It's too strange. This assassination is just right for Erchen. If it is to the emperor...

Speaking of which, Xiao Ming did not say anything, he was deliberately frightening Xiao Wenxuan.

Sure enough, Xiao Wenxuan's face became extremely embarrassed. He said: You are right. We have sent people from Lijingmen to investigate this matter. Don't worry, the royal father will definitely give you an explanation.

Thank you, Father, it's just that my son has another request.

Let's talk, if I can promise you, the royal father will definitely do it. Xiao Wenxuan felt a little guilty towards Xiao Ming. This great achievement has not yet been awarded, but at this time he encountered such a thing.

There are still no traces of the remaining assassins. For the safety of Erchen, please allow the emperor to allow Erchen to expand the number of personal guards to 1,000. Xiao Ming said.

In Chang'an, the number of personal guards that each feudal lord can carry is limited, which is to prevent chaos.

Considering Xiao Ming's current situation, Xiao Wenxuan nodded and said, I'm sure.

Thank you, Father. Xiao Ming bowed.

Now Du Heng is still searching for assassins in Chang'an City, but there is no news so far, and because of the assassination, Xiao Wenxuan has no intention of going to court.

The two said a few words, Xiao Ming left the imperial study, and he was going to find the third prince.

Outside the palace gate, Xiao Ming asked Zhao Long to dispatch troops and horses to the Jinwuwei camp. After a while, Qi Guangyi arrived at the palace gate with a thousand cavalry.

After getting on the horse, Xiao Ming led a thousand cavalry directly to the third prince's mansion, and the thousand cavalry blocked the water surrounding the third prince's mansion.

Xiao Ming, what do you mean?

Knowing that Xiao Ming came with a heavy army, the third prince arrived outside the palace, and his face was extremely ugly.

Having spent so long in the Great Yu Kingdom, it is natural to know that whoever is favored can walk sideways in Chang'an. These princes and elder brothers have always proved this to him before.

Seven years ago, whether it was the crown prince, the second prince or the third prince, all of them blatantly humiliated him.

What is the third brother doing so nervously? The third brother said that it is difficult to walk in Chang'an in the dark. I can only take some more soldiers and horses to go with me. Xiao Ming rode on the horse, just like the third prince who rode on the horse and looked down at him condescendingly. .

When he came to Chang'an, Xiao Ming decided not to blindly hide his strengths and bide his time, but to be both offensive and defensive. Previously, anger that had no strength was meaningless to him, but now for him, the truth is only within the range of artillery.

It makes sense to have a big fist. He doesn't have so much time to play tricks and tricks with these princes.

Xiao Zhen's face was ashen, if it was before, how could Xiao Ming dare to be so arrogant in front of him.

Seeing the third prince gnashing his teeth, Xiao Ming continued: Third brother, don't you invite me to sit in? I still have a lot of things to tell my third brother, such as the Dutch thing...

As soon as these words came out, the pupils of the third prince quickly enlarged, and his body seemed to be stiff together.

Looking at Xiao Ming who was confident, Xiao Zhen suddenly felt that this seventh younger brother, whom he had looked down on before, was so terrifying.

Please. Xiao Zhen's eyes narrowed, Just the seventh brother is not afraid that entering my palace is like entering a tiger's den?

Xiao Ming dismounted, walked towards the palace of the third prince, and said with a smile: The third brother is joking, but if I have an accident, I guarantee that no one will be alive in this palace.

Xiao Zhen's heart froze, Xiao Ming's tone carried a strong killing intent, he looked at the cavalry that Xiao Ming brought, and these cavalry also gave him a very dangerous feeling.

When he arrived at the main hall of the palace, Xiao Ming took a seat and sat down, while the third prince sat on the main seat.

At this time, the third prince said: Seventh brother, the incident of your assassination last night has caused a lot of trouble in the city, but this matter really has nothing to do with me.

I know it has nothing to do with the third brother, but what the third brother said last night must have been an accusation, but I think the third brother is also watching a play. If I die, I will be clean, and if I live, I can talk about it. Let's talk, isn't it? Xiao Ming said with narrowed eyes.

Seventh brother is really smart. Xiao Zhen's eyes were sharp, I do know some clues about this matter, but why should I tell seventh brother?

Looking at the environment in the main hall, Xiao Ming suddenly saw a delicate mirror in the corner of the main hall.

It's just that this mirror is very different from the mirror in Qingzhou. Ignoring what the third prince said, he just stood up and walked towards the mirror.

The third prince was stunned for a moment, looking at the place Xiao Ming was walking towards, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

This mirror is really beautiful, but it's not made in Qingzhou. Xiao Ming picked up the mirror and said, It's also from the Dutch, right? How much does it cost?

The third prince was a little helpless, Xiao Ming came too fast, he could not clean up in time, he sighed and said: Yes, this is indeed from a Dutch businessman, as for the price, it is five times the price of Qingzhou mirror, now you should Satisfied.

Five times? Hey, this Dutchman is really black. Did the Qingzhou mirror let the King of Chu smash the Dutchman's mirror into his own hands and lost a lot of money.

Xiao Ming smiled maliciously. Li Kaiyuan once told him that he once gave the mirror to the Prince of Chu as a gift, but the Prince of Chu was not only unhappy, but also a little annoyed.

From then on he knew there might be something amiss.

While speaking, Xiao Ming stared into the eyes of the third prince and found that his pupils shrank.

Seventh brother can't hide anything. At the same time that Qingzhou was selling mirrors, the Dutch also brought in a batch of mirrors, but as you can imagine, these mirrors are too expensive to compete with seventh brother's mirrors. Now you should be satisfied. The third prince said almost gritted his teeth.

Overjoyed in his heart, Xiao Ming threw the mirror on the table. He said, Even if I don't mention this, the third brother still talks about how to tell me who sent the assassins, not to mention the barbarians, this can't deceive me.

So the seventh brother already knows that these people are mixed-race barbarians? Haha, well, in that case, let's get straight to the point. If you die, the Dutchman's secret will not be revealed, at least a few years later. I leak it again, but I can only talk to you now. The condition of this exchange is the Dutchman. Now that you know all about it, you must also understand that the relationship between the King of Chu and the Dutchman is not a matter of a year or two, but now This matter is becoming more and more difficult to hide, so we hope that the seventh brother can help us through this matter smoothly.
