Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

As the emperor's chariot left here, the training of the Aegis Camp officially ended.

“I didn’t expect that there would be a silver reward for this exercise!”

Your Majesty, our Aegis Battalion must be even more loyal to Your Majesty!

That idiot is usually a naive person, but he didn't expect to do such a heinous thing!

No matter what, I have to establish a clear relationship with this person anyway. It would be a pity for such a person to be Ling Chi!

…

The nerves of the three thousand soldiers immediately relaxed. While they were grateful to have received the silver reward from the emperor, they also started talking, and the spearhead was pointed at the soldier named Dahan.

A low-level soldier who was always bullied by others actually committed an act of assassination. This abnormality made many soldiers sigh.

It's just that this kind of person naturally does not deserve sympathy. Even if he robs his family, he can be forgiven, but only for the act of assassination, all ties and condemnation must be renounced.

It's taboo to talk about this. Let's think about how to spend the money, right?

Haha...how else can I spend it? I will go to the city later to feel comfortable!

That's very good, but when I go to Night Palace, you must be looking for an old friend in Changchun Court!

…

A sergeant named Zhao Qi solemnly ended the topic of the assassination and turned to spending money. Several companions nearby winked and even made some nasty remarks.

This time, the light cavalry of the SHIELD battalion received one tael of silver, while the heavy cavalry received two taels. This was undoubtedly an unexpected fortune for the low-level sergeants.

Nowadays, most of the people who enter the SHIELD camp are young men, and most of them do not have the pressure to support their families. Therefore, it is natural that there are some energetic young people who want to go to the city to have fun.

In fact, the atmosphere in Camp SHIELD is quite restrained. For example, the soldiers of the 12th Battalion have already become prostitutes, and even if they don't have money, they want to borrow loan sharks to find lovers in the city.

Since it had been decided earlier that the whole camp would have a half-day holiday after today's drill, so now they can move around freely after the drill, so some personnel left the military camp one after another.

Zhang Long and Li Hu exchanged glances silently, but they didn't even eat lunch, so they rode towards Beijing.

Although an earth-shattering assassination had just occurred at Camp SHIELD, the people in Beijing seemed to have not heard the news yet, so the situation on the streets was as usual.

The two of them were out-and-out Beijing soldiers, so they were already familiar with the city of Beijing. Not long after entering the city, they came to a prostitute's place.

The so-called Changchun Courtyard does not refer to a certain brothel, but to some large-scale brothels divided into Changchun Courtyard and Night Palace. The latter is where prostitutes live, while the former is where male prostitutes live.

Compared with the Nightless Palace, the Changchun Courtyard today seems very peaceful.

Two gentlemen, can you get along well in Changchun Courtyard? When the old bustard saw the two young men coming towards Changchun Courtyard, he immediately came up to them with a smile as bright as a flower.

Li Hu looked around warily, while Zhang Long reported the room number to the madam, and the two were taken to the room upstairs. When they entered the door, they saw Zhao Qi, who had arrived first.

Sit down! Zhao Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two people, pointing to the table already filled with delicacies.

Brother Seven, what should we do now? Li Hu still felt scared and asked anxiously as soon as he sat down.

Zhang Long knew that the matter was not trivial, and that the three of them might be exposed at any time, so he turned to look at Zhao Qi with the same worry.

Zhao Qiduan poured wine from the jug next to him and said calmly: Two worthy brothers, you don't need to panic. The whole thing has been blamed on Dahan! Even if Dali Temple really wants to track us down, the three of us have already succeeded Leave the capital, now we just have to wait for them to send someone over to arrange for us to leave!

Brother Qi, who are they? Can they really guarantee our wealth for the rest of our lives? Li Hu, who had always followed Zhao Qi's orders, asked curiously.

Zhao Qi glanced at the door warily, then picked up the wine glass and said: Don't worry, you guys will know later. Come, let's drink this glass of wine first to celebrate the success of our plan!

When Li Hu and Zhang Long saw that Zhao Qi still refused to directly reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, they couldn't help exchanging glances and drank the wine in their glasses bitterly.

At the same time, an informal interrogation has begun at Dali Temple.

I didn't know it wasn't dinner time yet, I knew I was wrong! Dahan also realized his mistake when he was escorted back to the Yamen of Dali Temple.

It’s just that no one paid attention to Dahan, or they simply didn’t believe Dahan’s words, and even defined Dahan as a crazy person.

In fact, who with normal IQ would dare to openly assassinate the emperor?

This idiot used a small bow and crossbow to stab the enemy in front of everyone, and then tried to escape from the three thousand soldiers after the defeat. It was simply a fantasy.

The biggest difficulty now is how to get him to reveal the mastermind behind it, and they can follow the clues to uncover the person, thereby solving this shocking case.

As long as you are willing to tell the truth, I will give you food to eat, otherwise I will starve you! Faced with Dahan, the official of Dali Temple deceived him.

Dahan hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head gently and said, I dare not say it!

When these words fell on the ears of Dali Temple officials, they immediately felt that there was something important in it. Perhaps the person behind it was also a powerful person, so they hurriedly prepared to report it to Song Cheng, the young minister of Dali Temple.

It turns out that some people are overcomplicating things.

The assassin who just appeared in the SHIELD camp, and everyone arrested Dahan holding a light crossbow in one fell swoop, it can be regarded as a small misunderstanding.

Zhao Qi and the other three took advantage of Dahan's silly energy. After Zhao Qi fired the small crossbow, Li Hu handed the crossbow to Dahan, and then Zhang Long seduced Dahan into running to the kitchen area for dinner. .

Just like this, when Zhao Kai knocked Dahan down, everyone thought it was Dahan who did it, so they created an opportunity for Zhao Qi and others to escape.

Not to mention whether the people in Dali Temple believed what Dahan said, even if they learned the truth from Dahan, they would have fled long ago.

When Dahan was just escorted back to the Yamen Prison of Dali Temple, Zhao Qi and three others had already quietly escaped as planned and came to a secret room in Changchun Courtyard.

you……

When Zhang Long and Li Hu were about to grab the chopsticks to pick up the food, they suddenly felt a salty sensation in their throats, and then blood overflowed from their mouths and noses. They immediately looked at Zhao Qi with disbelief on their faces.

The three of them were originally soldiers of the Liwei Camp, and Zhao Qi was their flag, and they had received Zhao's care over the years. This time, it was out of trust in Zhao Qi that he participated in the assassination incident.

But they never expected that when they agreed to fly away together, Zhao Qi would actually kill them.

The corners of Zhao Qi's mouth raised slightly, and he couldn't help but feel smug in his heart as he watched the two accomplices die of poisoning.

Not to mention that this was the employer's request, and he didn't want to divide the money into three parts. Now he would live a wealthy life incognito instead of living a miserable life in the military camp every day.

After a while, a tall young man came in from outside, looked at Zhang Long and Li Hu who had fallen down and said, Has everything been resolved?

Haha... Yes, you have to handle things neatly when you are in a humble position! Zhao Qi's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he said matter-of-factly.

The young man stepped forward to check that the two people were indeed dead. He nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly said something else: It's not clean enough!

What do you mean? Zhao Qi asked with a chill when he heard this.

puff!

Before Zhao Qi could react, a sharp short knife had been stabbed into Zhao Qi's back, and a stream of blood immediately spattered out.

you……

Zhao Qi's eyes widened and he turned to look at the other party in disbelief.

It's just that all this is considered retribution. After he took advantage of Dahan, Zhang Long and Li Hu, he finally discovered that he was also a chess piece that could be discarded at any time.

The young man wiped the blood on the dagger with Zhao Qi's clothes. After confirming that Zhao Qi had died, he was about to leave, but when he opened the room, he was suddenly stunned.

Standing at the door was Song Cheng, the young minister of Dali Temple, and a group of subordinates. It seemed that these people had been waiting here for a long time.

Is it you? Song Cheng was quite surprised when he saw the young man in front of him.
