"The Ming thief was killed!" A Goryeo assassin roared and waved his long sword to kill Zhu Di. However, before his sword could fall, Zhu Di cut off his head with one knife, and blood spurted all over Zhu Di, but his face was normal, as if he was killing a chicken.

In front of Zhu Di, more than a dozen assassins were still fighting stubbornly, but the guards around Zhu Di had surrounded these people and reinforcements rushed from all directions. They had no chance to get close to Zhu Di at all.

"Your Highness, do you want to keep a living?" Zhu Neng, a Qianhu, asked Zhu Di very nervously. Just now, an assassin broke through their siege and rushed to Zhu Di. This was his dereliction of duty.

"Don't leave any one, hang their heads on the city gate to warn future generations!" Zhu Di ordered coldly, not blaming Zhu Neng for his dereliction of duty. After all, this assassination was too sudden, and even he himself did not expect it.

"Yes!" Zhu Neng felt relieved when he heard this, and immediately ordered the guard to take action. More than a dozen assassins were immediately dismembered by the scattered blade, and their heads were chopped off and sent to the city gate to hang.

This Zhu Neng is the famous general in history who followed Zhu Di Jingnan, made his fortune and was named Duke Cheng, and was posthumously awarded the title of King of Dongping after his death. However, Zhu Neng is only a thousand households under Zhu Di, and he is usually responsible for Zhu Di's escort.

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao finally got the news and rushed over with people. When he saw Zhu Di's bloody appearance, he was shocked and immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Your Highness, are you okay?"

"A group of sluts can't hurt me!" Zhu Di wiped the blood from his face, then grinned, but he looked a little ferocious with blood on his face.

Seeing that Zhu Di was fine, Yao Guangxiao was relieved, but then frowned and said, "Strange, this place is close to the Goryeo Palace, and the city is heavily guarded. How could ordinary assassins appear here?"

"No need to guess, someone must be secretly colluding with Li Chenggui, or they were dissatisfied with us, so they wanted to drive me out!" Zhu Di snorted coldly.

After entering Kaicheng, Zhu Di was very popular at the beginning. After all, Li Chenggui was powerful and even if he was driven open to the city, he still had heavy troops in his hand. Kaicheng must rely on the Ming Dynasty's troops to protect himself. What's more, Zheng Mengzhou also promoted the new king to the throne, which needed the support of the Ming Dynasty. The goals of both sides were consistent, so they naturally got along well.

However, as time went by, Zheng Mengzhou began to organize forces against Li Chenggui and his son. Some of these people did not welcome the intervention of the Ming Dynasty. They felt that this was an internal matter of Goryeo and no outsiders needed to intervene. Even Zheng Mengzhou began to be wary of Zhu Di and others.

Under such circumstances, after discussing with Jiang Yan, Zhu Di secretly sent someone to assassinate Zheng Mengzhou and poured dirty water directly on Li Chenggui. Anyway, Li Chenggui had assassinated Zheng Mengzhou once before, so the operation went very smoothly. At that time, many people believed that Zheng Mengzhou's death was caused by Li Chenggui's sending people.

When Zheng Mengzhou died Monday, all the military and political power in Kaicheng fell into Zhu Di's hands, and the newly promoted Goryeo King Wang Xing became a puppet in his hands. It was nothing at the beginning, but as time went by, some unharmonious voices appeared in Kaicheng.

For example, recently, some people have spread news everywhere that Zheng Mengzhou's death was caused by Zhu Di and had nothing to do with Li Chenggui. As soon as this news came out, there was also an undercurrent in the city, and many people were asking whether the news was true or false.

What made Zhu Di even more annoyed was that Li Chenggui, who escaped from Kaicheng, has also begun to survive recently. After Li Chenggui escaped from Kaicheng, he has been staying at Shuofang Road and Jiangling Road in the northeast of Kaicheng. Li Chenggui has been operating these two roads for many years and is very strong. Zhu Di has always wanted to find an opportunity to take the initiative, but he did not expect that before he could take action, Kaicheng was in chaos first.

"Your Highness, let's go back and talk. There is an undercurrent in the city. We must find a way to change it!" Yao Guangxiao said again, and Zhu Di nodded when he heard this, and then the two returned to their residence together.

Zhu Di lived in the Goryeo Palace. His identity was higher than that of the Goryeo King, so it was normal to live in the palace. However, this action was opposed by many Goryeo people. Zheng Mengzhou had a gap with him before, but Zhu Di didn't care at all.

Zhu Di returned to the study and wiped his face. Yao Guangxiao immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this assassination is very strange. Obviously someone colluded with the outside world. I even suspect that there will be other assassinations in the future. Your Highness must be careful recently. It is best not to go out to avoid accidents!"

"It's just a bunch of assassins. If I don't go out again in the future, wouldn't it make people think I'm afraid of them?" Zhu Di refused without hesitation. He didn't care about this assassination. Even in his opinion, even if the dozen or so assassins were approaching, he would be sure to kill these assassins.

"Your Highness, it's an extraordinary period now. It's not peaceful inside and outside Kaicheng, especially Li Chenggui's side. It seems that there are also gathering troops and preparing to return to Kaicheng. If we are attacked inside and outside, we may not be able to resist it. The previous efforts will be in vain!" Yao Guangxiao persuaded again with great sincerity.

"It's okay, I mobilized another 2,000 people from Peking Prefecture, and I will arrive the day after tomorrow. As soon as the army arrives, the situation in the city will stabilize immediately. The current chaos is nothing!" Zhu Di said again without caring.

Seeing Zhu Di so stubborn, Yao Guangxiao was a little helpless, but he was also familiar with Zhu Di's personality. If he could easily listen to other people's advice, he would not be the King of Yan Zhu Di.

"When Jiang Yan left, those Jinyiwei became a fucking food. Assassination was such a big deal, did they not get any news?" Zhu Di suddenly thought of something, so he said annoyed again.

Originally, Zhu Di had no good feelings for the Jinyiwei, and had whipped Jiang Yan with his own hands before. However, when he entered Kaicheng, he found that the Jinyiwei was indeed a very useful tool. He was made by the Jinyiwei in assassination of Zheng Mengzhou. If there were any disturbances in the city, the Jinyiwei could also get news in advance. However, now that Jiang Yan has been transferred back to the capital, the Jinyiwei seems to have become less capable.

"The Jinyiwei is not omnipotent. Jiang Yan is a rare talent. Once he leaves, the Jinyiwei will naturally be greatly affected. However, if such a big thing happens this time, they can check it out and see who is secretly making trouble!" Yao Guangxiao said again. As Zhu Di's counselor, he usually has a lot of contact with the Jinyiwei, and many things were discussed with him and the Jinyiwei.

"Let them check it out. If nothing is found, I will peel them off!" Zhu Di immediately slapped the table and said. He suddenly missed Jiang Yan a little. Although he used to dislike the other party, the other party's ability was quite good. If he was still there, he would definitely not let the assassin touch his side before discovering it.

When Cao Cao was about to arrive, Cao Cao saw the Jinyiwei coming in to deliver a document. Zhu Di opened it and looked at it, then said happily: "Father has finally sent reinforcements to us!"

"Really!" Yao Guangxiao shouted in surprise when he heard this, and then looked at the contents of the official document with Zhu Di. The official document said that the court had sent 5,000 iron list troops to Goryeo to calculate the time for them to leave, and the time for the letter to be sent, it is estimated that it will be within about ten days.

"That's great. With these 5,000 reinforcements, plus the troops I transferred from Peking Prefecture, I can take the initiative to attack and wipe out Li Chenggui in one fell swoop!" Zhu Di also slapped the table excitedly after reading the official document.

After Li Chenggui escaped from Kaicheng, he was entrenched in Shuofang Road and Jiangling Road in the northeast. Zhu Di had long wanted to send troops to fight the other side. Unfortunately, he had too few troops in his hands. Although the Koreans who surrendered to them had some troops, they were too messy and it took time to integrate them, so they were unable to take action. Now that the reinforcements have arrived, he finally has available troops!

"Tie Cejun? This name seems a bit familiar?" Yao Guangxiao frowned and said to himself. He seemed to have heard of this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Moreover, he remembered that there was no such name as Tie Cejun among the imperial guards in the capital?

The excited Zhu Di calmed down when he heard Yao Guangxiao's words. He immediately thought about it before and said, "I remember that my father asked the Dukes and Marquis in the capital to return home, and asked them to leave their sons in the capital to establish the Iron Class Army. Could it be them this Iron Class Army?"

When Zhu Di said this, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, why is my father confused? He actually sent a group of playboys to Goryeo. What can these people do when they come to Goryeo? Could it be that I will take care of them?"

Zhu Di was so angry that he slapped the table. He was just happy just now, but he didn't expect that the Tie Ce Army was composed of a group of noble children, and it was just established. This kind of army may not have much combat effectiveness at all, and it is also a burden to come to Goryeo.

"His highness calms down. I think Your Majesty will definitely not send a group of incompetent people to help Your Highness!" Yao Guangxiao also thought of the origin of the Tie Ce Army at this time, but he was very calm and carefully read the official text after saying that.

As a result, Yao Guangxiao discovered two places that he had just ignored. One was written in the official document saying "The Tie Ce Army is good at firearms", and the other was written saying "The Tie Ce Army is led by the deputy commander Mu Sheng, and is controlled by the King of Yan."

"Mu Sheng seems to be the son of the Marquis of Xiping?" Yao Guangxiao pointed out the two discoveries to Zhu Di, and then asked again.

"Yes, he is the second son of Brother Mu. I have seen this kid several times. He is a very ambitious person. I heard that he is also good at training troops. The three-stage strike he trained is no worse than Brother Mu." Zhu Di nodded and said, he respected Mu Ying very much. When he was a child, he and Zhu Biao and others followed Mu Ying's butt a lot.
