Chapter Seventy-six: Shot Down with One Bullet

  Inherent

  When Zhao Xi saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel an overwhelming urge to rush over...

  Age and identity restricted him. Zhao Xi had no choice but to suppress the urge to rush in, becoming a protected onlooker instead.

  It's also because I am the future emperor. Haven't you seen those two eunuchs, fifteen or sixteen years old, still holding onto their status and standing on the steps?

  In fact, if it weren't for Zhao Xi and his family of three being there, Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian would have probably rushed over long ago.

  The disorderly guards at the palace gate did not disappoint them, but the imperial city guards who were supposed to be loyal did.

  The chaos of the fight gradually approached Ciming Palace...

  "Whoosh..."

  Hmm? Zhao Xiu followed the sound and looked over... One arrow pierced through the heart! Awesome!

  Take another look at Li Xian, who has calmly nocked his second arrow.

  Who says cold weapons are no match? To be honest, at this distance of nearly fifty meters, even if Zhao Xi used modern firearms, he may not have been so accurate.

  This kid can actually hit his target with one arrow. The key is that it's a chaotic battlefield, not a fixed target.

  Zhao Xi couldn't help but look up to Li Xian a bit more.

  Thinking about it, is this matter over? Pulling this kid over... As for Wang Zhongzheng, he really doesn't have this kind of skill.

  "Your Highness, Li Huangmen uses a two-stone bow, and at the very least, he has seven or eight years of skill."

  You're a connoisseur... Upon hearing Wang Zhongzheng say this, Zhao Xi looked at the bow again.

  Can't tell apart, feels almost the same as when I rode it before, seems like this kid also gave up on it back then.

  "Whoosh..."

  Another one! It's done! Unfortunately, the biggest drawback of cold weapons is that the interval time is too long.

  It was just a distance of two arrows, and there were still close relatives and officials surrounding the chaotic battle, but it allowed the Imperial Guard to get closer and closer.

  Zhao Xi suspected that these relatives of officials might have been bribed. With a personnel ratio of almost three to one, they actually let the other side rush over like this.

  Watching them one by one fight alone and rush over... others haven't even made a move yet, but their own people have already collided with each other.

  There was no unified command, and everyone acted on their own. Although there were a lot of people, the actual number of people who made contact with the guards was less than a dozen.

  Lao Chen Lin's face was a bit unbearable, but it's not his fault, nor is it that the officials didn't do their best, it's just that their duties determined what they were good at.

  The Imperial Guards, even now, are the palace walls on guard. From the root, they are military units, and these guards are also selected from the Forbidden Army. Therefore, they carry out team advancement and charge.

  While relatives from officialdom tend to focus on personal ability enhancement, they are engaged in investigation, hunting and killing, and guarding. More often than not, it's a solo fight.

  Just like the bandits and bodyguards of later generations, with different professions, they naturally encounter different situations, and their handling abilities have differences.

  The defense line was breached again, and it was almost in front of their eyes. Zhao Xi could see the wounded eunuchs and palace guards illuminated by the light... At this time, Zhao Xi suddenly discovered that there were actually stupid palace maids and eunuchs holding lanterns to illuminate the Ciming Palace!

  I'm going! Zhao Xi really doesn't know what to say. Maybe people think that the official's family of three, like them, wants to watch the excitement?

  It's settled! Isn't this telling those troublemakers that the target is here?

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the light on this side still informed those troublemakers that their target was right here.

  "Now is the time to achieve great things!"

  All he heard was a loud shout, and someone rushed out of the chaotic battle. Very quickly, really very quickly, even Li Xian's arrow brushed past his cheek.

  This is a master!

  Zhao Xi saw this person's running action, as if it already had the prototype of avoiding and yielding in later generations.

  It's almost right in front of us now, and we can clearly see his vicious expression...

  It's just three to five steps away...

  "Bang......"

  No matter how high the martial arts are, one shot can knock down! Zhao Xie couldn't help but pull out the pistol and fire at the man's chest abdomen...

  No way! Zhao Xi was originally aiming at the chest and abdomen, how could he end up with a swollen face... can't bear to look directly, it's nauseating!

  The whole face was covered in blood, and it was impossible to see what he looked like.

  The man stood still for a moment before falling down.

  "Uggghhh... Uggghhh..."

  Not just Lao Die, even Niang Niang has turned her back and is sobbing silently.

  Sorry, it wasn't intentional. Zhao Xi originally thought that hitting the chest and abdomen would not kill him immediately, and perhaps the Imperial City Guard could still get some information out of him. As a result... Alas! No accurate aim, no calibration, and this is what happened.

  "Ugh..."

  Huh? How is there another sound? Zhao Xi looked around... Although this sound shocked Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian, as well as Old Chen Lin, it wasn't enough to stun them.

  This... Zhang actually brought people over.

  "Take everything down! If there is resistance, execute on the spot!"

  Finally, the regular army of the Imperial City Guard has arrived, and those who were surrounded by the Imperial City Guard have no way to escape.

  Unfortunately, they were all desperate men who had not yet been captured. One by one, knowing that they could no longer fight on, they took out their daggers and stabbed themselves to death.

  "The official, the commander of the imperial guard, has arrived."

  Lao Chen Lin had to take care of Lao Die first. As for Zhao Xi's fire-breathing stunt earlier... ask about it later.

  He saw that this thing was the painting that Wang Ye had painted in the Painting Academy. He had always thought it was just a child's toy, but... at such a distance, he feared that even with his own skills, he might not be able to dodge it.

  "Your Majesty, Wang Shouzhong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, was late in coming to Your Majesty's rescue. I humbly request that Your Majesty punish him!"

  Punishment? Indeed should be punished, the Imperial Guard has such a rebellious person, as a direct leader, leadership responsibility should also be borne.

  Saving the throne is saving the throne, and leadership responsibility is leadership responsibility; these two cannot be mixed up.

  Zhao Xi thought that since his father had been frightened tonight, he would definitely find someone to blame.

  "King Ai, don't say such things! The rebels have been plotting for a long time, it's not the fault of all the officials."

  So... this means there's no responsibility, only merit for saving the situation?

  Zhao Xi was very puzzled, even more puzzled than others were about his toys.

  Really can't understand why Dad would handle it this way. Is it just going to pass like that?

  It really just passed like this.

  The king knew his orders and went to sweep the trash, while Old Dad turned around and pitied Zhang's wife.

  "Is it possible for you to recklessly intrude into the imperial palace?"

  "I worry about the safety of the imperial family and all that I think about are matters concerning the imperial family. I dare not be negligent."

  Got it! Zhao Xi stopped listening to this nauseating conversation.

  "Xī ér, rǔ yǐ hé wù bì zéi?"

  Translation: "Xi'er, what did you use to kill the thief?"

  I didn't expect the queen to also avoid Daddy's show of affection... Indeed, it's even more unsuitable for Her Majesty to stare at.

  "Mother, the child says this thing is a ruler or a handgun. Is it that the child will make it into a big craft?"

  Zhao Xi unloaded the ammunition and handed over the empty gun... This thing is unstable, he didn't dare to let Niangniang play with a loaded gun.

  It's so exquisite, it looks like a toy, but just now that one sound was really shocking.

  "Xī ér, this object can be equipped by troops?"

  It's clear at a glance that he was born into a military family.

  "Your Highness, it's still not possible. The imperial court is short of copper, and this sword requires 10,000 taels to be forged."

  Ten thousand yuan? The young lady looked... only Xier can use it. It's indeed impossible to promote widely.

  The girl asked, but I don't know... Alas, I guess it can't be hidden anymore.
