Chapter 1424 Assassination
night.
underground.
In the middle section of the road from Prince Yu's Mansion to Xiyuan Nanzhai Road, there are five top-quality shops on both sides, connected in a row, and built opposite each other. At this time, there are tunnels underground to connect these ten shops.
In the tunnel, one hundred dead soldiers were shuttled through, and then walked into the room from the tunnel. One hundred dead soldiers, ten shops, and ten dead soldiers in each shop.
There is a room on each side of the street. The dead soldiers in the room are assembling and setting up powerful crossbows at the window. This kind of powerful crossbow is very powerful and has six stones of power. It is a prohibited thing. It is logical that it will never flow out of the army, but King Jing brought out two early and hid it here.
Each of the dead soldiers in other rooms had a knife, a bow, and a pot of arrows. They sat silently in the darkness of the room.
A line of white appeared in the sky, and pedestrians appeared on the street. At first, shops opened the door one after another. Some of these ten shops also opened the doors and removed the window panels. As usual, the only difference was that the windows that were usually opened on the second floor were closed at this time.
A man with a hat walked out of the gate of a shop while everyone was not paying attention, and then walked along the street towards the city gate.
At the same time, the gate of Prince Yu's mansion opened, and more than a hundred guards walked out of the gate, followed the street and headed towards the Xiyuan.
City gate.
The man wearing a straw hat came to a wonton stall, bought a bowl of wontons, and slowly started eating it.
"Oh, Banxian is here." The boss who sold wontons suddenly shouted.
The man wearing a hat turned his head slightly and saw an old fortune teller walking to the wonton stall and sitting down not far from him.
"Come on the bowl of wontons."
"Okay!"
Many people began to appear around, including those who sell fruits, those who sell sesame cakes, those who write, etc.
The man wearing a hat withdrew his gaze and slowly started eating. The old man was very familiar with the boss, and while eating, he chatted with the boss.
Luo Xin also left the house at this time and rode towards the Ministry of Rites in a sedan chair.
King Yu's sedan chair gradually approached the ten shops, and when he entered the middle of the ten shops.
"Bang bang bang..."
Almost at the same time, the windows on the second floor of the ten shops were opened, and a rain of arrows shot towards the more than one hundred guards. In this rain of arrows, two giant crossbows buzzed, and two thick iron spears shot towards the sedan chair that King Yu was riding on.
"Dangdang..."
Two tooth-inspiring metal collisions and friction sounds were heard, and the two iron anchors did not penetrate the sedan chair, but a small part of the front end of the iron spear shot into the sedan chair, embedded on the sedan chair walls on both sides. The buzzing and trembling movements sounded.
King Yu, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was scared and his face was pale and sweaty. The tips of the two sharp spears were only one inch away from his body.
At this time, he thanked Luo Xin from the bottom of his heart. If Luo Xin hadn't modified his sedan chair, he would have been dead at this time.
“Ahhhh…”
There were screams of thunder from outside, and the rain of arrows instantly shot twenty guards to death, and more than thirty guards were injured.
"Swoosh swish swish..."
The sound of bowstrings kept coming from the second floor of the shops on both sides, and dense arrows shot like rain.
"Tait..."
With the dense footsteps, he saw countless Jinyiwei rushing into the street. Since Liu Shouyou judged that he would be on this street and someone assassinated King Yu, how could he not arrange someone here?
At the same time, figures came out from the rooms one by one, some people rushed towards the ten shops, and some people rushed towards the sedan chair of King Yu. The people who rushed towards King Yu were wearing Dongchang's clothes, holding shields in one hand and knife in the other. The people who rushed towards the ten shops were the masters of the martial arts world arranged by Luo Xin.
Luo Xin arranged the Jinyiwei in the open and the Dongchang in the dark. The guards of King Yu naturally knew the Dongchang, and even if they didn't know them all, they knew a few big shots. At this time, when they saw the people from the Dongchang, they were all overjoyed. At this time, they were no more than twenty people left, and those people fell under the bows and arrows of the dead soldiers.
The Dongchang Manzi quickly protected King Yu's sedan chair layer by layer, erected a shield to resist the arrows shot from the second floor of the shop, while Luo Xin's hidden martial arts master had already rushed into the shop.
"Swoosh swish swish..."
One hundred dead soldiers threw away their bows and arrows, drew out their long swords, jumped down from the window on the second floor, and killed them towards King Yu's sedan.
The order Zhai Dong gave them was to see people alive and to see corpses when they died. Therefore, they had to kill to the sedan chair of King Yu and take a look.
"Clang clang clang..."
Just a moment, the two are fighting fiercely together.
At the gate of the city, everyone looked towards the palace, and they all heard shouts and the collision of weapons.
The man wearing a hat stood up, threw down two copper plates, looked up at the direction of the palace, bent his lips upwards, revealing a smile. He turned around and walked towards the city gate.
When he walked to the city gate, the rushing sound of horse hooves came from behind, accompanied by a shouting sound.
"Someone assassinated King Yu and closed the city gate!"
The man with the hat had already stepped out of the city gate and mixed in a group of people who had already left the city. However, the soldiers guarding the city were busy blocking those who wanted to leave the city and could no longer care about those who had already left the city.
"Boom..."
The city gate finally closed. About a thousand meters away from the city gate, the man wearing a hat turned around and raised his head, looked at the high city wall, revealing Zhai Dongrang's face.
Capital.
At this time, corpses lying all over the floor were lying around King Yu's sedan chair, some were Jinyiwei, some were Dongchang, some were guards of Prince Yu's mansion, some were masters of the martial arts, and some were dead soldiers.
No dead soldiers were captured alive. Once those dead soldiers were severely injured, they immediately committed suicide by taking poison. The Jinyiwei and the East Factory were investigating and collecting evidence.
King Yu did not walk out of the sedan chair. He felt that it was the safest in this iron sedan chair. He was carried by the guards and went straight toward Xiyuan. Two iron spears were inserted on both sides of the sedan chair.
At the gate of Xiyuan.
Many officials were waiting there, and more Jinyiwei and soldiers protected the place. King Yu's sedan chair appeared in everyone's sight. When they saw the iron spear inserted on both sides of the sedan chair, everyone's face turned pale.
If King Yu dies...
The sedan chair of King Yu didn't stop at all, who dared to stop? This is still outside the Western Garden. If there are archers ambushing in that corner and suddenly shoot a cold arrow to kill King Yu, they will all die. Moreover, the king of King Yu in the sedan chair has received Luo Xin's instructions that if the assassination happens, don't come out if there is no safe place.
Therefore, King Yu's sedan entered the gate of Xiyuan.
