Chapter 854: King Chu is dead

The dark clouds in the sky droop.
When I came out of the medical school, there was a cold wind blowing outside, and a heavy rain was about to pour down.
Xiao Ming looked at the ever-changing city of Qingzhou with a smile, his efforts paid off. Although almost eight years have passed by in a hurry, now Dayu Kingdom is undergoing incredible changes in his hands.
Industry, medicine, chemistry, architecture, and the knowledge from the technological spar are making the country of Da Yu develop from a feudal king to a modernized country.
It's just not enough for Xiao Ming, because for him, Dayu Kingdom still lacks the final unity.
Lin'an.
Li San is eating in a restaurant. Because of the influence of Qingzhou, cooking has now spread in Dayu. Most of the businessmen in Lin'an buy iron pots and vegetable oil from Qingzhou, so cooking is also available in every restaurant.
"The appearance is there, but it's a pity that the taste is still a bit lacking." Li San was a little dissatisfied with the stir-fries in this restaurant, for him the taste was too far from Qingzhou.
A young man sitting opposite him did not speak, but silently glanced at the grand team outside the restaurant. This was the hunting team of the King of Chu. The return of Li Chuyuan did not seem to disturb the hunting day once a year.
"It's time to go!" The young man said coldly after taking a bite of the food, without any concern that Li San was his immediate boss.
Li San's attitude towards youth is accustomed to him. This young man is called Wang Hu. He was born in a hunter and seems to have a natural talent for muskets.
He became the top assassin of the Secret Guard within a short time of touching the musket.
"Hey, let's go, it's time to end this king of Chu's life. Anyway, we didn't kill him, the Cao family will kill him sooner or later." Li San's eyes flashed with wisdom.
In the past few days, he has had a lot of contact with the members of the secret guard in the city, and basically grasped the current situation of Chu State. It can be said that the changes that have occurred here have exceeded their estimates.
After these days of analysis and inquiries, he basically did not hold any hope for the peaceful recovery of Chu Kingdom, because even if King Chu died, they would still face the merchant council.
Because according to what they knew, in addition to encouraging the king of Chu to open up non-governmental group training, the merchant council also bought some generals under the leadership of the king of Chu. All these generals were led by the new army. From this point, it was enough to see the sinister intentions of the merchant council.
From the beginning of the establishment of the merchant council, Cao Kun decided to take the king of Chu and establish a country similar to the Western system.
After paying the money, Li San and Wang Hu left the restaurant. They were already prepared on the way to Wang's Linyuan by the King of Chu, and now they just need to rush.
Looking at the team that stretched for several miles, and then at the hundreds of hounds in the team, Li San frowned. I have to say that the king of Chu is indeed very powerful, even the emperor.
No wonder people all over the world say that Chu is rich in the world.
Following the hunting team out of Lin'an City, Li San and Wang Hu quickly set off to the ambush point, and whether they could kill the King of Chu was the next move.
After half an hour, the two arrived at a hillside, and then they led the horse to a forest and tied it up. The reason they did this was to prevent the horse from being found.
Then the two ran across the hill to another hill three miles away. To be cautious, the location just now was not the location of the ambush, it was the real location of the ambush.
When they arrived at the designated location, a row of secret guards with weeds all over stood up, and they immediately helped Li San and Wang Hu to disguise.
The withered weeds quickly integrated the two of them with the surrounding environment. This time, for safety, Li San also used a lot of effort and took out the disguise that the emperor taught him.
In addition, they also carried smokeless gunpowder this time, in order not to expose themselves as much as possible.
After the disguise, Wang Hu and Li San lay down. At this time, Wang Hu picked up the first breech rifle made by Song Changping.
Taking out the paper shell bullet and placing it beside him, Wang Hu calibrated the scope, then licked his finger to test the wind direction and force.
The knowledge of these snipers comes from the information provided by the palace.
In addition to Wang Hu, the other twenty members of the secret guard in ambush were armed with muskets. In order to ensure the success of the assassination, they would conduct a second wave of shooting after Wang Hu failed.
Of course for Li San, he does not want to appear a second time.
Everything was ready. At this time, Li San saw through the telescope the Chu Wang and his party approaching the mountain road.
After two quarters of an hour, the hunting team entered their shooting range.
At this moment, Wang Hu's eyes suddenly became like falcons, and his muzzle moved slowly, aiming at King Chu who was guarded by the crowd.
For the sake of concealment and for their own safety, this time their location was 300 meters away from the King of Chu.
At this moment, King Chu did not realize that the door of death had been opened to him, and Li Chuyuan's return made him a little upset.
For him, any decision made by Xiao Ming bore him emotionally. Perhaps only hunting can make him forget the troubles in front of him.
Looking at the scenery on both sides, King Chu let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he found a ray of light flashing in the grass in the distance.
This kind of bright light is similar to the sun shining on the glass. In an instant, King Chu's body stiffened, and his instinct told him to dodge immediately.
But before he could react, he saw a ray of fire flashing in the grass on the distant hills, and then there was a sharp pain in his forehead, and then he lost consciousness.
After all this happened, the gunfire came.
"Assassin, assassin!"
With a blood donation on his forehead, King Chu slowly fell off the horse, and the hunting team was in chaos.
The guards protecting King Chu quickly galloped towards the hill three hundred meters away. At this moment, they saw a group of grassy people climb up and quickly fled to the other side of the hill.
The plan for the assassination was rigorous~EbookFREE.me~ Li San naturally left a way for his retreat. There were already horses waiting for them under the hill.
Shaking off their camouflage along the way, they got on their horses and fled in the direction of Jinling City along the established route.
"Wang Hu, good job, this shot hit the king of Chu in the forehead, he can't be alive." Li San said excitedly, this time he returned to the emperor to explain.
He will not lose to Wang Xuan again in credit.
Wang Hu was silent, with no wave on his face. It seemed that the assassination just now had nothing to do with him, but the excitement in his eyes still betrayed him.
King Chu's guards chased them all the way, but when they reached the ambush spot, there were no assassins.
They looked at me, I looked at you, and then they scattered all around.
Now that King Chu is dead, even idiots know that Chu is going to change the sky. Whether to follow the merchant council or follow Li Chuyuan, now they must choose.
As for King Chu, who would care about a dead person?
