I'm so hard

Chapter 148
After adjudicating nearly a hundred officials in Shuzhou, Zhongshu Province responded very quickly, and immediately selected the best from the replacement officials from all over the country to fill the vacancies in Shuzhou.

Shuzhou's New Deal reform is on the right track again.

In a blink of an eye, it was already December, and Changdan City already had a Chinese New Year atmosphere.

At this time last year, Zhao Yan was still thinking about how to collect money to fight Northern Mongolia, and even where he should flee to if he was defeated.But in just one year, Beimeng was no longer something to worry about in his heart, and he was also changing Da Zhou step by step.

At night, listen to Yuxuanzhong.

Guan Juer and Zhao Yan were sitting opposite each other. There were wine, vegetables and snacks on the table, and everything was exquisite.

Not far away, Mrs. Hu sat on a chair with a black face, looking depressed.

The lady of his family has been saying that she is sick and never sees any visitors, but whenever this young man named Yan Zhao comes, she invites him in, and they chat until late at night.

And many young masters outside are looking forward to having dinner with Guan Juer.

You know, Guan Ju'er now has 1 taels of silver bills per hour, and there are almost twenty rich and capable sons in Changdan City who have seen her.

20 taels of silver!
The money that Aunt Hu can get is enough for her to live a lifetime without any worries.

But now, Guan Juer is monopolized by a son.

Guan Juer also specially confessed to Aunt Hu that she could not charge Yan Zhao a penny.

And Yan Zhao walked in swaggeringly every time, never paid a tael of silver, and even called it: If you talk about money with Miss Guan, it would be vulgar!

Aunt Hu was so angry that her teeth itch, but there was nothing she could do.

Late at night, Heiwa was driving a carriage on the way back to the palace.

200 meters in front of Tingyuxuan, there is a 300-meter-long dark alley. The carriage can enter the main road through the alley, and then go straight to Miyagi.

But not long after Hei Wa entered the alley, she discovered the strangeness.

He whispered to Zhao Yan, "My lord, it seems that someone is following us."

Zhao Yan thought for a while, then said softly: "Don't stop the carriage, keep going forward, if someone wants to assassinate me, they will definitely do it in this alley."

While speaking, Zhao Yan took out two sleeve crossbows, a firearm only three inches long, and ten pieces of gunpowder from the hidden compartment in the carriage.

This firearm was specially made by Fenghuotang for Zhao Yan. Although it can still only be filled with one gunpowder at a time, the charging speed is much faster than that of the sleeve crossbow, and its lethality is also greater.

And Hei Wa also slowly took out the sleeve crossbow that she carried with her, and listened carefully to everything around her.

This carriage looked ordinary, but except for the windows, the outer door panels were covered with a layer of iron plates. Even Da Zhou's crossbow that could shoot 200 meters would be difficult to penetrate.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
At this moment, the sound of bows and arrows being wound up sounded.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
At the moment when the long arrow pierced through the air, Hei Wa quickly got into the carriage.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The long arrows were shot on the carriage of the carriage, and some were shot in the windows.

According to the sound and the direction of the long arrow, Hei Wa immediately said: "My lord, there are four people shooting arrows in the back, and five people shooting arrows in front, but it is not ruled out that there are other people who are hiding."

Zhao Yan nodded slightly and said, "Let's get rid of these nine people first!"

"Squeak... squeak... squeak!"

Zhao Yan moved the mechanism inside the carriage, and several fist-sized holes appeared on the front and rear wooden boards, just enough to put down the crossbow and firearms.

At this moment, the people who were in ambush began to show their faces and approached the carriage.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Zhao Yan and Hei Wa each held two sleeve crossbows, and then shot them out suddenly, hitting the four of them precisely.

The four men in black instantly fell to the ground and died.

The remaining five people quickly retreated and squatted behind the sundries not far away.

And Zhao Yan and Hei Wa began to install crossbow arrows, preparing to launch a second wave of attacks.

The five people were obviously a little impatient, and after hiding for less than two breaths, they leaned out again and fired their bows and crossbows again.

This time, the bow and crossbow shot right into the window of the carriage.

Both Zhao Yan and Hei Wa fell on the ground without any damage.

But in order to confuse the other party, Zhao Yan cried out in pain.

"what!"

The cry was so miserable that Hei Wa was startled.

Zhao Yan smiled and nodded towards Hei Wa, indicating that he was fine, and told Hei Wa to attack later.

Since there was not much noise between each other, the horses of the carriage were not startled, and they still stood there motionless.

Five men in black, three in front and two in the back, slowly approached the carriage.

When they were less than three meters away from the carriage, Zhao Yan and Hei Wa shot at the same time.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Four bows and crossbows killed four men in black again, and the remaining man in black was hit by a dagger thrown by Hei Wa in the chest and fell to the ground.

Excited, Heiwa was about to take off the veil of the man in black in front of him, but Zhao Yan grabbed him and shook his head at him.

"There should be someone else!" Zhao Yan whispered, then pointed to the corner of the alley not far away towards Hei Wa.

Immediately, Heiwa understood what Zhao Yan meant.

He jumped out of the carriage quickly, and while listening to the movement around him, he walked forward pretending to be nonchalant.

At the third step Heiwa stepped off the carriage, there was only a "whoosh".

A long arrow shot from the darkness behind.

Hei Wa had been prepared for a long time, and immediately rolled away, avoiding the fatal blow of the long arrow.

Zhao Yan, who was waiting on the sidelines, was already fully prepared.

Whoosh!
The sleeve crossbow pointed directly at the man in the dark.

"what!"

There was only a scream, and a black figure lay on the ground, and another figure turned around and was about to run away.

Zhao Yan took out the firearm and quickly aimed it.

boom!
A burst of flames blasted out, and the man also fell to the ground.

Hei Wa listened vigilantly to everything around her in the dark, and only after confirming that there was no sound of breathing did she feel relieved.

At the same time, more than a dozen guards who were hiding in Zhao Yan's dark place just rushed over.

These guards just ran over at this moment, not because they reacted too slowly and the guards were weak, but because Zhao Yan sent them away on purpose.
Zhao Yan also did not expect that he would be assassinated while traveling in a micro-clothes.

He was indeed careless!
Half a quarter of an hour later, Shen Tuyi hurried over and surrounded the entire alley.

"Your Majesty, these people's bows and crossbows are all privately made. At present, their ownership cannot be confirmed, and their faces are relatively unfamiliar. No valid information has been found yet!" Shen Tuyi reported in a panic.

Tonight, he definitely won't be able to sleep.

If tomorrow, Xiao Jingye and others knew that Zhao Yan was assassinated outside the palace, and Shen Tuyi's people arrived after Zhao Yan and Hei Wa killed the killer, he would definitely be scolded.

For Xiao Jingye, no matter what rank you are in or how old you are, you can scold him whenever you want, without showing any mercy at all.

But Shen Tuyi couldn't say that it was His Majesty who deliberately sent her away in order to better date a seductive woman.

This pot, he is determined!
