"Hiss... What, what is this? I couldn't see anything from this distance. By the time I realized what was happening, the imperial physician had already collapsed and died."
"Captain! I just roughly measured the distance, and it's equivalent to the combined distance of three or four master archers! That's terrifying!"
"So, young master wasn't just talking nonsense out of fear. This thing... might really be able to get us out of the capital alive!"
"Hahaha, good! Good! May Heaven bless Young Master Tianyou! May Heaven bless General Tianyou!"
The guards' eyes instantly reddened.
When they looked at the guns and ammunition again, their eyes no longer held confusion or doubt, but rather shock, tears of joy, and the relief of surviving a catastrophe.
These twenty people were prepared to die a horrible death, but they never expected that at this critical moment, the young master would suddenly produce a terrifying weapon that could intimidate thousands of troops.
Suddenly, it dawned on me.
The guards recalled the relieved and confident expressions on the servants' faces as they left the Zhou residence, and the words the young master had uttered not long ago... "I hope you will not regret your choice today!"
"Young Master—"
The personal servant stumbled in, exclaiming in alarm, "Young Master! He's here! He's here!"
"In the Golden Phoenix Hall, Lin Jiaoyun testified that you, young master, had spoken contrary words and wanted to overthrow the dynasty and become emperor yourself... She also said that when she came to the Zhou residence, she saw that the general had corresponded with the Xiongnu."
"His Majesty was furious and ordered five hundred Imperial Guards to search the house and find physical evidence."
"And... there's also Grand Tutor Cheng. Because he pleaded for General Zhou, His Majesty had him taken to the Dali Temple, supposedly to assist in the investigation, but in reality, he was just thrown into prison to await punishment."
"Young master, the Imperial Guards will surround the Zhou family in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. You should escape quickly."
very good.
The day has finally arrived.
What nonsense about imperial power and the idea that merit can threaten the ruler! From now on, he will be the ruler!
Zhou Cheng squinted and looked up at the sky. The sun had set, and it would soon be dark.
Yes... It was getting dark. A knowing smile crept onto Zhou Cheng's lips. His fearless, dauntless confidence, brimming with immense power, left the newly arrived servant bewildered.
He turned his head.
His eyes swept over the guards who had already been assigned weapons and equipment.
With a few words, carrying the air of conquering the world, he stirred up a storm throughout the city: "All guards, heed my command!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
The guards, whose names were derived from the twelve zodiac animals, knelt down. The younger twin brother snapped out of his daze, knelt down in shock, and lamented that his brother's words about regretting it would probably never come true.
Everyone stared at Zhou Cheng with solemn expressions.
Waiting for Zhou Cheng's instructions: "Second sister, you and Mother take submachine guns and lead eight guards to attack the city gate defenses. You must take down the capital's city gate within two hours! Clear away obstacles and hold out until Chenshi (7-9 AM)."
"Black Dragon, take Black Tiger to the Cheng family. Do not alert anyone else. Infiltrate the Cheng residence and take Cheng Xianyi away from the capital as quickly as possible. Make sure to protect her from any harm."
"Black Rat, lead all the guards with me and storm into the prison under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple to rescue Grand Tutor Cheng!"
"Three groups of men, move out simultaneously, and be sure to break through the city gates before Chenshi (7-9 AM). See you outside the city!"
Give the order.
Everyone's face showed solemnity and excitement.
For some reason, holding the supplies and weapons in their hands, the unease and fear in their hearts completely disappeared.
Instead, there is the courage and confidence to burn one's bridges.
Before the group disbanded, the young master not only carefully taught them how to use rifles, but also told them that the most terrifying weapon was the hand grenade.
The grenade was thrown.
