I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Only when he has enough soldiers and his position is stable enough, can he try to make war weapons such as heavy crossbows and chariot crossbows, or even gunpowder firearms.

At that time, either he had the ability to defend these things, or the empress had gained his trust, so he could cooperate with the empress to do these things.

Until the empress gains his trust, these things cannot appear, otherwise they will be a wedding dress for others.

Now, he had to gain the trust of the empress first, and the blueprint of the repeating crossbow was the best way to show his loyalty.

"I will go back to the palace with you tonight. This blueprint must be submitted to His Majesty for review."

Shen Changgong turned and said to Gongsun Wan'er.

Gongsun Wan'er was surprised when she heard this.

"It's raining so hard, are you going back to the palace?"

"Don't you want to go back too? If you can get wet in the rain, why can't I? Or do you want to stay and sleep?"

"What good things are you thinking of?"

Gongsun Wan'er smiled triumphantly, having finally won a game.

Shen Changgong did not comment. He went into the house to change his clothes, then came out, wrapped the drawings in oilcloth and put them in his arms.

Gongsun Wan'er had a carriage, and he only had horses, but in order to avoid getting wet, he chose to ride in the same carriage with Gongsun Wan'er.

The carriage left the camp. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The torches could not be extinguished. It was pitch black at night and nothing could be seen. Only the carriage was emitting light.

The carriage entered the street, flanked by guards on both sides, and headed towards the palace.

Shen Changgong sat in the carriage and opened the book "Southern King's Military Strategy" to read.

Gongsun Wan'er raised her eyebrows and said,

"You really do love reading. I thought a scoundrel like you only flirted with women."

"A good man must know a little bit of everything."

"So what can you do?"

"He knows how to tease women. For example, you have nice legs."

Shen Changgong looked at Gongsun Wan'er's legs.

Gongsun Wan'er is tall and slender, and she always wears a white medium-length robe that can only cover her buttocks. When she sits down, her pair of beautiful legs in white tights are domineeringly exposed, exuding an alluring aura.

Feeling Shen Changgong's gaze, Gongsun Wan'er looked at her legs and scolded,

"Bah, you're a lecher indeed!"

Then she tried hard to pull her robe down to cover her beautiful legs, but to no avail.

Outside the window, there were the sounds of horse hooves and the patter of raindrops falling to the ground. Suddenly, there was a slight sound of tiles breaking.

Shen Changgong frowned suddenly. How could someone break the tiles on the roof at such a late hour?

Immediately afterwards, Shen Changgong keenly heard a tiny buzzing sound.

That was the sound of a bowstring being suddenly released.

Shen Changgong did not hesitate, grabbed Gongsun Wan'er's head, and lay down on the carriage floor with her.

Gongsun Wan'er was shocked and thought that Shen Changgong was planning something bad to her. When she was about to resist, arrows shot in from both sides of the carriage and hit the opposite wall of the carriage.

If the two people were still sitting just now, they would have been shot into a hornet's nest by now.

"Is there an assassin?!"

Gongsun Wan'er was shocked.

"go!"

Shen Changgong grabbed Gongsun Wan'er and immediately rushed out of the carriage.

The number and distribution of the enemy are unknown, and staying in the car at this time means you will become a sitting duck.

The guards and assassins around had also drawn their swords and were looking around vigilantly.

Shen Changgong opened the hidden arrow in his sleeve and drew out the two scimitars hidden behind him.

These weapons were made by the blacksmith who was asked to maintain the weapons on the first day of joining the Security Force, and they were only finished today.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, illuminating the sky.

It also illuminates the surrounding houses.

Shen Changgong saw at least thirty men in black on the houses on both sides, some holding weapons and some holding bows and arrows.

This number is just a glance.

Those assassins with knives jumped down from the roof, leaving only a few assassins with bows and arrows to attack from above.

Twenty assassins rushed towards the guards, while the other dozen or so broke through the crowd and headed straight for Shen Changgong.

Shen Changgong quickly pulled the trigger with his sleeve arrows, shooting the throats of the three assassins in the front.

The other assassins were fearless and continued to charge towards Shen Changgong.

These assassins were well-trained. Three of them were responsible for killing Shen Changgong and Gongsun Wan'er, while the others surrounded them from behind to ensure that Shen Changgong would not escape.

The rainy night was pitch black, with only the carriage next to it emitting a faint light.

Shen Changgong wielded two swords in his hands. He chopped off an assassin's sword with his left hand, and then cut the opponent's neck with the sword in his right hand.

Quick and accurate!

Gongsun Wan'er, who was standing by, also had a dagger appear in her hand like magic. Facing the chopping knife, she was not panicked at all. She dodged to the side and at the same time, the dagger in her hand stabbed straight at the opponent's eyes.

The opponent immediately leaned back to avoid it. Gongsun Wan'er also immediately put away the knife and stabbed the opponent's wrist directly. Then she snatched the opponent's knife with her left hand, swung it to the left, and stabbed the assassin who came to attack her to death.

Those who can be assassins are not mediocre. They are also very skilled and their moves are deadly.

After Shen Changgong killed the two assassins, he saw that Gongsun Wan'er was indeed a master as she said, so he put his mind at ease and focused on dealing with the assassins.

Otherwise, if Gongsun Wan'er died while they were together, he really would not be able to explain to the empress.

Compared to him, the empress obviously trusts Gongsun Wan'er more.

A whistling sound came from behind Shen Changgong. He immediately bent down and rolled on the ground to avoid the heavy sword that was chopping at him from behind. At the same time, he crossed his hands and chopped down, injuring the legs of the two assassins in front of him.

The two assassins fell to the ground in pain, and Shen Changgong immediately cut their ankles.

He didn't have time to carefully attack the opponent's vital points. As long as he could make the opponent lose his combat effectiveness as soon as possible, now was not the time to finish him off.

Shen Changgong stood up again and was about to charge when suddenly several arrows shot towards his face.

Helpless, he could only withdraw immediately to avoid the arrows.

Shen Changgong looked upwards with a grim gaze. It was easy to dodge an open attack, but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. He had to kill those assassins first before he could concentrate on dealing with the people below.

The palace guards were all good fighters. They were fighting while retreating towards Shen Changgong and the others. They soon retreated together to protect Shen Changgong and Gongsun Wan'er.

When there is no lightning, the streets are extremely dark.

Shen Changgong took advantage of the chaos to escape from the battlefield, ran forward quickly, took a running start and jumped up, and with the help of a stone lion in front of a house, jumped onto the roof.

The archer on the roof lost his aim and said to his companions,

"Damn, it's too dark, I can't see anything at all?"

"It's okay, just leave it to the people below."

As the man spoke, he had no idea that a scimitar had already reached his neck from behind.

A group of assassins coming to assassinate the king of killers is just showing off their skills in front of experts.

The dark night is the home turf of the King of Killers!
