As a descendant of the Prince of Kaiping County.

Chang Jizu has followed the example of his fathers since he was a child.

Among the three generations of Chang family members, Chang Jizu, as the eldest brother, has strict requirements on himself in everything.

During the four years of studying in the martial arts hall.

Chang Jizu not only stayed in the martial arts hall, but also accompanied the army to different areas of the empire every year.

He has been to Yingzhou, also to the Southern Region, and even measured Jiubian with his own steps.

When the empire was about to embark on its Western Expedition, Chang Jizu was finishing his four-year study at the Military Academy, so he wrote a petition for war early, requesting the Governor-General to place him in the most dangerous position of the Western Expedition.

Location.

Today is the day when Emperor Hongwu abdicated, and the day when the most uncontroversial crown prince in the empire ascended the throne.

The martial arts students in this period of the martial arts hall have also graduated.

However, according to the requirements of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, the martial arts students in the martial arts hall must assume part of the security duties on the Temple of Heaven Street even on their graduation day.

This is the area that Chang Jizu and his team of ten are responsible for. It is on the street near the Temple of Heaven, and to the south is Shenpingwang.

This is also the place where the most people from Yingtian gather.

Several times the number of Shanzhiqin military guards and Beijing officers and soldiers were arranged here than in other areas.

As the martial arts students of the Jiangwu Hall, Chang Jizu and the others, who will receive graduation awards from the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty at today's abdication ceremony, have the right to patrol the sentry when they are responsible for security duties.

Chang Jizu wore the military uniform specially made by the Jiangwu Hall and led his team members, walking along the Temple of Heaven Street from the direction of the Temple of Heaven to the Shanchuan Temple.

From a distance, Chang Jizu could see the straight west side of Temple of Heaven Street, where the emperor's chariot was moving slowly under heavy guard of imperial troops.

The people on both sides of the street burst into cheers as the emperor approached.

Fireworks were going off both inside and outside the city walls.

On both sides of the street, countless colorful flags were flying.

Chang Jizu slowly walked to the street and began to cooperate with the direct military guards and Beijing officers and soldiers to stop the people who were constantly squeezing towards the street due to crowding.

Suddenly.

Chang Jizu's eyes narrowed.

In his sight, among the crowd in front, there seemed to be fighting sounds due to the crowd being too crowded.

The surrounding crowd also became chaotic because of the fighting.

"Captain, I...I think I saw a Japanese?"

The deputy team leader, standing next to Chang Jizu, said something puzzled.

Chang Jizu held the knife in his left hand and immediately moved the handle of the knife toward the front of his body.

This is to make it easier to draw the knife at any time.

"Go over and have a look."

Chang Jizu didn't say anything, he just ordered his team to walk out of the street and approach the area where the fight took place.

"Handle according to the measures for dense crowd emergencies."

Chang Jizu warned again.

As a result, the nine people in his team began to form groups of three, and the two groups on the left and right slowly moved to both sides to distance themselves from the group of three in the middle, led by Chang Jizu himself.

The nearby Shanzhiqin military guards and Beijing officers and soldiers were already engaged in the task of quelling the fighting among the crowd.

The surrounding crowd was easily separated by the heavily armed officers and soldiers.

The crowded crowd in front of them gradually retreated to both sides like a tide.

Chang Jizu immediately shouted to his companions in the team: "It's a Japanese, kill them!"

The relevant details of the murder case on the Yamen Street in Yingtian City have been spread to several important departments in the court.

Since Chang Jizu was born in the Prince's Palace of Kaiping County, he naturally had his own news channels.

But it doesn’t matter whether there was a murder or not.

In the 31st year of Hongwu's reign, the appearance of Japanese people in Yingtian City was not a reasonable thing.

According to the top secret files of the imperial court, the Japanese have long been a race that can be put into history books to describe the past and end of the entire ethnic group in a few strokes.

For the Chang family, such top-secret files are naturally not really top-secret.

In an instant, Chang Jizu pulled out the knife from his waist.

The crowd around him didn't notice anything strange yet, and just thought it was the officers and soldiers calming down the chaos in the crowd.

The Japanese also discovered Chang Jizu who led the team.

However, the three Japanese in the crowd remained unmoved.

Chang Jizu had some doubts in his heart.

These Japanese had obviously discovered that they had been targeting them, and running away was their first reaction at this time.

But the three Japanese were unable to move.

Chang Jizu suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.

His eyes quickly searched around the Japanese people.

finally.

Chang Jizu's pupils trembled.

I saw a large wooden box piled beside the courtyard wall behind the Japanese.

This is something that should not appear on the Temple of Heaven Street today.

As early as yesterday, Yingtianfu hired personnel to clean the streets on Tiantan Street.

"It's gunpowder!"

Chang Jizu's eyes widened and he saw one of the three Japanese take out a fire stick from his arms and light the fuse under his feet.

Only then did he see clearly what was stored in the wooden box.

At this time, Chang Jizu no longer cared, and with a low roar, he held the knife in both hands and dragged it diagonally to the right side of his body, and rushed towards the three Japanese with big steps.

The three-person team following him also reacted immediately.

They may not know exactly what happened.

However, according to the academic requirements for confronting the enemy within the martial arts hall, as long as it is a decision or action made by the superior officer, they must react as quickly as possible in the shortest time and cooperate with the response actions.

The three-person team also drew their swords and followed closely behind Chang Jizu. The three spread out in an encircling formation and pressed forward with Chang Jizu.

At this time, the Japanese finally started to move.

The two knives hidden under the cloak were held in his left and right hands.

The faces of the three Japanese were ferocious, and they actually attracted Chang Jizu and killed them.

The Japanese wanted to hold themselves back with death in order to buy time for the fuse to detonate the gunpowder stored in the wooden box!

In an instant.

Chang Jizu did not have time to think about why Japanese people appeared on Tiantan Street, and why these Japanese people had gunpowder, a military item strictly controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and it was not clear why these Japanese people set off gunpowder here.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But he knew that he must not let the lit fuse detonate the gunpowder in the wooden box.

"rush!"

Chang Jizu shouted angrily.

He pressed down on his waist, and the tip of the sword held in both hands dragged on the ground, making a harsh sound.

In Chang Jizu's field of vision, a Japanese leader on the opposite side had cut the two knives in his hand, one long and one short, up and down to form a tight defensive network.

Chang Jizu, however, kept moving forward, and the Yanling Saber in his hand began to move from behind to in front of him.

Ding!

There was a crisp sound.

The Yanling knife in Chang Jizu's hand struck the long knife in the Japanese's hand, and the tiger's mouth shook.

The two of them had shifted their positions back and forth.

The short sword in the Japanese hand was dragged and cut on Chang Jizu's back.

The pain that penetrated into the bone marrow was transmitted to Chang Jizu's brain in an instant, but he still kept walking, maintaining the inertia of his body, and finally rushed to the wooden box.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound.

The Yanling knife struck the wooden box, cutting off the half-burned lead wire.

At this time, Chang Jizu finally lay down on the wooden box because of the pain in his back.
