night.

underground.

In the middle section from Yuwang Mansion to Xiyuan Nantiao Road, there are five top-grade rooms on the left and right sides, which are connected in a row and built facing each other.At this time, under the ground of these ten shops, there are tunnels connecting these ten shops.

In the tunnel, a hundred dead men were shuttling, and then walked into the room from the tunnel.One hundred dead men, ten shops, ten dead men in each shop.

There is a room on the left and right of the street. The dead soldiers in the room are assembling and setting up the crossbow at the window. This kind of crossbow is very large and has six stones in strength. , but King Jing got out two early and hid them here.

Each of the dead men in the other rooms has a knife, a bow, and a pot of arrows.Sitting silently in the darkness of the room.

A line of white appeared on the horizon, and pedestrians appeared on the street.At the beginning, shops opened one after another, and the doors of these ten shops were also opened, and the window panels were removed. It was the same as usual. The only difference was that the windows that were usually opened on the second floor were all closed at this time.

A man wearing a bamboo hat walked out from 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 100 guards came out of the gate in a sedan chair protected by more than [-] guards, and walked along the street towards Xiyuan.

city ​​gate.

The man in the bamboo hat came to a wonton stand, bought a bowl of wontons, and ate them slowly.

"Hey, Banxian is here." The wonton seller suddenly called out.

The man in the bamboo hat turned his head slightly, and saw an old fortune-teller walking to the wonton booth and sitting down not far from him.

"A bowl of wontons."

"Okay!"

Many people began to appear around one after another, selling fruit, selling biscuits, writing, and so on.

The man wearing the hat looked away and started eating slowly.And the old man knew the boss very well, chatting with the boss while eating.

Luo Xin also went out at this time, and headed towards the Ministry of Rites in a sedan chair.

King Yu's sedan chair gradually approached the ten shops, 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 all opened, and a rain of arrows shot towards the more than 100 guards.In the rain of arrows, two giant crossbows buzzed, and two thick iron spears shot towards the sedan chair that King Yu was riding on, one left and one right.

"Dangdang..."

There were two tooth-piercing metal collisions and friction sounds, and it was seen that the two iron anchors did not penetrate the sedan chair, but only a small part of the front end of the iron spear shot into the sedan chair and embedded in the sedan chair walls on both sides.Buzzing and trembling.

King Yu, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was about to pee from fright, his face was pale, and he was sweating profusely.The two sharp spear points were only an 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 might have died at this time.

"Ah ah ah..."

There was a series of screams outside, and the rain of arrows killed twenty guards in an instant, and more than thirty guards were injured.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The sound of bowstrings could be heard continuously from the second floors of the shops on both sides, and dense arrows shot like rain.

"Ta Tata..."

With the sound of dense footsteps, countless Jinyiwei rushed in from both ends of the street. Since Liu Shouyou judged that someone would assassinate King Yu on this street, why didn't he arrange someone here?

At the same time, figures came out of each room, some of them rushed towards the ten shops, and some of them rushed towards King Yu's sedan chair.The people rushing towards King Yu's sedan chair were all dressed in Dongchang's clothes, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other.But the people rushing towards those ten shops were actually Jianghu masters arranged by Luo Xin.

Luo Xin arranged Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, and arranged the East Factory in the dark.The guards of King Yu naturally knew people from Dongchang, even if they didn't know all of them, they knew a few big stalls.At this time, seeing the people from Dongchang coming, everyone was overjoyed. At this time, there were no more than twenty of them left, and they all fell under the bows and arrows of the dead men.

Dongchang's fan quickly protected King Yu's sedan chair layer by layer, erected a shield, and resisted the arrows shot down from the second floor of the shop, while Luo Xin's hidden master of the rivers and lakes had already rushed in. shops.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

A hundred dead men threw away their bows and arrows, drew out their long knives, jumped down from the windows on the second floor, and killed King Yu's sedan chair.

Zhai Dongrang's order to them was to see people when they were alive, and corpses when they were dead.Therefore, they had to rush to King Yu's sedan chair and take a look at it.

"Clang clang..."

In just an instant, the two sides fought fiercely together.

At the gate of the city, all the people looked towards the direction of the palace, and they all heard shouts and the clash of weapons.

The man wearing the bamboo hat stood up, threw down two copper coins, looked up at the direction of the palace, the corners of his mouth curled up, showing a smile.Turn around and walk towards the gate of the city.

When he reached the gate of the city, there was already the rapid sound of horseshoes behind him, accompanied by a shout.

"Someone assassinated King Yu, close the city gate!"

The man with the bamboo hat had already stepped out of the city gate, and mixed with a group of people who had already left the city.But the soldiers guarding the city were so busy blocking those who wanted to leave the city that they could no longer care about those who had already left the city.

"Rumble..."

The city gate was finally closed. About a thousand meters away from the city gate, the man in the bamboo hat turned around and raised his head, looking at the high city wall, revealing Zhai Dongrang's face.

Beijing.

At this time, around King Yu's sedan chair, there were already corpses lying all over the place, some were Jin Yiwei, some were from Dongchang, some were guards of Prince Yu's mansion, some were masters of the rivers and lakes, and some were dead men.

Not a single dead man was captured alive. Once those dead men were seriously injured, they immediately committed suicide by taking poison.Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are investigating and collecting evidence.

King Yu didn't get out of the sedan chair. He felt that it was safest to be inside the iron sedan chair. He was carried by the guards and walked directly towards Xiyuan.There are also two iron spears inserted on both sides of the sedan chair.

The gate of Xiyuan.

Many officials were waiting there, and there were more Jinyiwei and soldiers to protect the place tightly.King Yu's sedan chair appeared in everyone's field of vision. When they saw the iron spears stuck on both sides of the sedan chair, everyone's face turned pale.

If King Yu died...

King Yu's sedan chair didn't stop at all, who would dare to stop.This is still outside Xiyuan, if there is another archer ambushing in that corner, suddenly shoots a cold arrow and shoots King Yu to death, they will all die.Moreover, King Yu in the sedan chair has already received Luo Xin's instructions, once an assassination happens, don't come out unless you are in a safe place.

Therefore, King Yu's sedan chair went straight to the gate of Xiyuan.
