Chapter 25: Assassination in the Street
Looking at Cang Yuan's completely unconfident appearance, Pan Long didn't know how to persuade him.
To be honest, he wasn't very ...... about the terms of Luonan's change It can't be said that I don't agree with it, the main thing is that I don't think it looks down on it.
Well, it's that "are you stupid, boy" feeling.
The set of Di Luonan and Cangyuan tossing is not unreasonable, on the contrary, it is very reasonable. If you can really do what they say, change the law, and reform, you will definitely be able to sweep away the twilight accumulated by the Great Xia Dynasty for thousands of years, and let the country regain its vitality.
To borrow the mantra of the last president of America in the previous life, it can probably be said to be "make Great Xia great again".
But...... As we all know, there is always a gap between ideals and reality.
From "knowing" to "doing", it is even farther than from heaven to earth!
For example, Pan Long himself knows a lot of high-end scientific theories, but he wants to apply those theories to practice...... Sorry, he couldn't think of a good idea.
The biggest problem with this set of Di Luonan and Cangyuan is that they have harmed the interests of too many people, and they can't exchange enough benefits, and the result is that they want others to suffer losses in vain.
If they harm those who are powerless, then they are harmed. Unless the small people of Dousheng really can't survive, even if their interests are damaged, they often scold them, and then they will endure it.
But they're hurting the powerful, and they're not going to use scolding to solve the problem...... As far as Pan Long knows, the main reason why most of the reform methods in the past dynasties have failed is that they have harmed the interests of the upper class, but they have not been able to give a suitable exchange to compromise, nor have they been able to support a new upper class society to replace them.
According to Pan Long's conjecture, the core idea of Di Luonan's reform may be to rely on the military and use force to sweep away the forces that dare to resist.
If Di Luonan was the Emperor of Great Xia, this method might work, but he was not even a crown prince......
All in all, in fact, Pan Long himself is not optimistic about them at all.
So seeing that Cang Yuan was worried about whether the change would succeed, he could only smile and say nothing.
Just then, he heard a small voice in the distance.
It was the sound of a group of people deliberately holding down their breath, but still gasping for breath from nervousness.
What does this sound mean? Pan Long understood in an instant.
(There are people in ambush nearby, who are they going to ambush?)
He was fascinated by his eyes, let go of his perception to the extreme, and soon determined that not far ahead, in the tavern and shop on the side of the road, there were more than two dozen people staring intently at the road.
These people are full of murderous energy, and they are obviously not here to be polite and reasonable.
Pan Long was a little curious - Nanxia City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is said that the public security should be excellent, how can there be murder on the street?
And...... Look at this formation, the scale is not small!
The carriage moved forward without hurry, and soon passed the area where the men were in ambush on either side.
Just then, a voice rang out suddenly.
"Do it!"
As soon as the words were finished, the ambushers rushed out, and more than one of them took out short throwing spears and threw them at the carriage.
Cangyuan's coachman was not bad at martial arts, and although the incident happened in a hurry, he still waved his horsewhip and blocked the two throwing spears. But of the four spears that were fired at him, he only blocked half of them, and the remaining two still hit him.
Fortunately, the two spears only hit the arm and leg, and although the wounds looked a little tragic, there was no fear of life for a while.
The horse pulling the cart was miserable, and was shot in the head and body by two throwing spears respectively, and fell directly with a scream, and even the entire carriage slowly toppled over.
As soon as Pan Long stretched out his hand, he grabbed several throwing spears that had shot through the carriage in the air, and one of them was about to hit the abyss by just a millimeter.
He sighed and asked, "You have offended a lot of people? ”
Cang Yuan's face was gloomy, and he drew his sword and rushed out.
The sound of fighting rang out.
His martial arts are actually extremely high, and his cultivation has even reached the peak of innateness, and he is not far from the realm of real people. It's just that it seems that he doesn't have much actual combat experience, and he was almost attacked more than once in battle because of his lack of experience.
Fortunately, Pan Long protected him today.
Although most of Pan Long's energy was spent on helping the coachman treat his wounds and avoid death or disability, with Pan Long's skills, just dividing some energy was enough to help Cang Yuan block those sneak attacks.
After a fierce battle, most of the dozen or so people besieging Cangyuan fell, but the rest did not flee, but became more and more fanatical, and some even rushed up and hugged Cangyuan, just so that their companions could take the opportunity to kill him.
Pan Long was amazed - looking at the expressions of these people, all of them looked bitter and hateful or full of righteous indignation, but there was not even a single one of them whose expressions were cold and like machines, and it was clear that they were not specially cultivated dead soldiers.
Can a group of people who are not dead soldiers risk everything to kill him like this...... How much hatred did Cangyuan pull?
At this moment, the patrol soldiers finally arrived. They rushed up with hula and screamed to kill or knock down the Assassins, and soon took control of the scene.
Seeing that the battle was over, Pan Long couldn't help but ask, "Who are you, why did you assassinate Cang Yuan?"
"Disaster to the country and traitors, everyone will be punished!" a blood-stained young man roared, "Dog thief, you can kill us, you can't kill not only the righteous people in the world!"
Pan Long was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Cangyuan.
Is this guy so hateful?
Another bearded man who was pressed to the ground also shouted angrily: "Fox bewitching the master! The hero of His Highness Luo Nan was actually bewitched by you villain!
Pan Long frowned, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with this.
Cang Yuan suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his white face turned red, and he roared louder than him: "Less blood and mouth spew!
"A mere peach with broken sleeves!"
"Fuck you!" Cang Yuan scolded, and then rushed over, stabbing him with a sword, and he didn't dodge when he was sprayed with blood.
He brandished his sword and roared angrily around him: "Who else! Who else wants to make a rumor about me? Come on! You grandpa Cang is here! Someone stands up and shares life and death with Lao Tzu's real sword and real gun! Get out!"
It could be seen that he was really angry.
Even...... Even angrier than when he was assassinated.
Pan Long touched the beard on his chin, feeling as if he had discovered Columbus in the New World.
(Cangyuan is unlucky enough to have this kind of reputation.) )
(though...... Looking closely at his appearance, he is indeed a somewhat handsome person, plus he usually loves to be clean, and he also has some pink and feminine atmosphere. No wonder it is suspected that he is the male pet of Di Luonan. )
(Oh, he can't say that, or he's going to go crazy...... )
