Chapter 142 Missed the shot?
"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness!"
Liu Jin suddenly came back to his senses from his daze, crawled over hurriedly, and tremblingly sniffed Zhu Ming's breath.
Although it was obvious from his injuries that Zhu Ming was no longer alive, Liu Jin still found it difficult to accept this fact.
Unable to sense Zhu Ming's breathing, he withdrew his hand as if frightened, and tears as big as beans immediately welled up in his eyes.
Is the emperor's grandson really dead?
His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson is naturally intelligent and smart since childhood. When he was only in his teens, he had made many contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
Even if he cannot become an emperor in the future, he is destined to be a talented person who will be remembered for generations.
Who could have thought that such a talented person would be killed by robbers on the way to provide disaster relief.
Is it true that people who are smart early are vulnerable, and that God is blind?
He lay on Zhu Ming's already cold body, and was so sad that he couldn't even cry.
The bandits did not show any sadness, and worked hard to move all the valuables from their carriage.
"Brother, what should we do with these people?"
The big man who had just killed someone walked up to the leader and looked at Liu Jin, who was lying in a daze on the corpse of the emperor's grandson.
In the fight just now, most of the dozen guards that Zhu Ming brought out of the city had died, leaving only a few such as Liu Jin, who were also seriously injured and barely alive.
"What can we do? Kill them all."
The leader looked at Liu Jin with disdain and a fierce look in his eyes.
As long as there is no one alive, no one will know that it was you who did it.
After all, the person he killed was the emperor's grandson, so he was somewhat afraid.
"Yes."
The man received the boss's order and immediately walked over.
The boss turned around and ignored what was happening here.
"Not only can I collect the reward this time, but I also robbed a lot of silver. I made a fortune."
Looking at the valuable items removed from the carriage, he couldn't help but laugh.
Liu Jin lay on Zhu Ming's body, allowing the man to walk towards him without even looking back.
He grew up with Zhu Ming and lived with them day and night for more than ten years. He watched Zhu Ming die in front of him. How could he bear such a blow?
Even if he survived today, if His Majesty knew that the emperor's grandson was murdered, he would still not be able to escape death in the end.
"Don't blame me."
The bandit glanced at Liu Jin who had given up resistance, spoke in a deep voice, and slowly raised the knife in his hand.
It was winter, and the wind was cold. Liu Jin felt infinite sadness in his heart: "Your Highness, Liu Jin is here."
"Liu Jin, where is the gift I gave you?"
Suddenly, Zhu Ming's voice rang in Liu Jin's ears again. Liu Jin was so startled that he immediately raised his head and looked around.
Am I too sad and having hallucinations?
But looking at the robbers, it didn't seem like he was the only one who heard it.
Not only him, but the other robbers also paused and turned their heads away.
The emperor's grandson gave him something as a gift.
Liu Jin then remembered the short knife that Zhu Ming had given him and immediately took it out from his arms.
Taking advantage of the moment when the robber was distracted, he pounced on him, pointing the dagger directly at the robber's heart.
The warm blood splashed on his face, but Liu Jin didn't feel anything.
"Your Highness, I am avenging you."
Although he did not feel the slightest pleasure of revenge in his heart, even if he killed the robbers, the emperor's grandson would never come back.
"You guy!"
The sound of their companion falling to the ground finally brought the other robbers back to their senses. Seeing Liu Jin suddenly resist and kill one of their brothers, they all became angry.
The leader even personally raised the big knife in his hand and approached Liu Jin quickly, with murderous intent revealed in his vicious eyes.
"Go ahead, avenge His Royal Highness the Grandson. I will die without regrets!"
The resistance just now gave Liu Jin some courage. He stood up, looked at the robber, shouted, and started laughing wildly.
"Isn't it too early to talk about revenge now?"
Zhu Ming's voice rang out again, along with the sound of a bowstring.
An arrow suddenly flew over and hit the bandit leader's shoulder.
Although he failed to shoot the bandit leader directly, he still made the bandit leader temporarily give up the plan of attacking Liu Jin.
He frowned in pain, reached out and broke the arrow abruptly, and threw it on the ground. No sound was made from beginning to end.
He turned around and looked in the direction where the arrow came from, with a fierce look in his eyes as if he wanted to eat the person who shot the arrow alive.
"Unfortunately, the shot missed."
A young man was riding on a horse, spreading his hands helplessly.
"His Royal Highness!"
When Liu Jin saw the person riding the horse, he immediately became excited.
The man who was originally ready to die now had a little light in his eyes.
"What's going on? Aren't you dead?"
The bandit was also shocked when he saw Zhu Ming jumping around in life. He turned around and looked at the corpse lying on the ground. The corpse was wearing the same clothes as Zhu Ming and even looked exactly the same.
"It's coming for me."
Zhu Ming sighed. These robbers were indeed not after money, but were after him, the emperor's grandson.
"Don't look at it, stand-in."
He relaxed his shoulders and remained calm in the face of these robbers who wanted to kill him.
Unlike the bandits last time, these robbers were here to kill him.
"You are no longer a substitute now."
The robbers saw that their target was not dead, so they all jumped on their horses, holding swords, with fierce eyes.
"No, it's not easy to find a substitute that looks this similar, even for me."
Zhu Ming sighed helplessly. A substitute is useful, but not that easy to find.
Lord Erhu searched all the prisons before he found someone who looked somewhat similar to himself.
It took a lot of effort to put on makeup to the point where it looks so lifelike.
"Then I will kill you again."
The bandit leader said this viciously and attacked Zhu Ming again.
"Grandson, be careful!"
Seeing this, Liu Jin lowered his head, snatched the big knife from the robber who had just been killed, and followed behind these robbers to kill them.
Zhu Ming just stood there on his horse, motionless, calmly watching the robbers rushing over.
In the blink of an eye, the bandit leader rushed to Zhu Ming and raised the big knife in his hand.
"Lord Chen Ling."
Zhu Ming then opened his mouth and shouted.
Before he finished speaking, the sound of bowstring rang out again, and an arrow shot out from behind Zhu Ming with a sound of breaking through the air, directly hitting the bandit leader's body and knocking him off his horse.
Then dozens of Jinyiwei who came on horseback filed out from behind Zhu Ming and blocked the robbers.
"Master Chen Ling, you didn't shoot accurately either."
Zhu Ming looked at the bandit leader who was shot by an arrow but not hurt in any vital parts, and smiled at Chen Ling.
"hateful!"
The bandit leader fell to the ground, looked at the dozens of Jinyiwei, and pounded the ground in regret.
I fell to the ground and lost the initiative.
