Chapter 570: Dawn
In the secret passage of the palace of Xijin Mansion in disrepair, a group of people are groping their way forward, the darkness is their best friend, only under the shadow can make them feel safe, there is only an oil lamp in the low passage to light the way forward, everyone follows the guidance of the oil lamp and does not dare to take a wrong step, this secret passage actually has many forks and mechanisms, once the slightest carelessness or mistake, will die.
But even so, Yelu Tufting felt safer than on the ground, and it was possible for them to succeed if they were careful.
Thinking of the layout on the ground, Yelu Tufting sighed slightly, at this time, Xinran and the others were afraid that they were already dead, and they were completely hopeless about the assassination of Yelu Tufting on the ground, the Great Song Emperor's personal guard division was notoriously elite, and His Majesty's imperial tent pro-army and the iron harrier of Li Yuanhao of the Western Xia Dynasty were of the same grade, no, even more powerful, there was a group of special people around the Great Song Emperor, they were called with imperial weapons, and the strength of these people was very clear whether it was the Western Xia people or the Liao people.
The territory of the Great Song Dynasty is vast, the number of people is large, it is much easier to select capable people among these people than in Western Xia and Daliao, Yelu Tufting this time selected the hands are all the dead soldiers arranged by Zhang Jian, and at the same time, Yelu Tufting also knows that with the current national strength and military strength of Da Liao, it is slightly difficult to carry the Great Song Dynasty, but if the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty dies in Xijin Mansion...... The result would have been very different!
Yelu Tufting was originally a nobleman in the Xijin Mansion, even in the Liao Dynasty, he was considered the emperor's five-service relative, and he knew the state of the Liao Dynasty very clearly, and Zhang Jian told him that this time it was the 100,000 urgency of the Great Liao.
Da Liao had just been defeated in a war with the Western Xia, which made the Great Liao sacrifice many elites, and the economy of the capital was also dealt a fatal blow, in order to raise military expenses for the emperor of the Western Xia War, the young emperor wanted to complete the western expedition plan without moving the wealth of the capital, but who knew that the final result was so disappointing.
Yelu Tuft sighed slightly, everything the emperor did became the wedding dress of the Song people, no wonder Zhang Jian and the courtiers were so resentful, the wealth that Da Liao had finally accumulated in Shangjing was finally swept away by the Song people, and he was surprised when he learned the approximate amount, these money could even catch up with Da Liao's two years of taxes, no wonder Zhang Jian and others went crazy.
Under the dark shadows, only the heavy ventilation sound of Yelu tufts can be heard, these damn Great Song Dynasty merchants usually make a lot of money from the Liao Dynasty, not to mention, even when they are there, they will sweep the wealth of the capital, this is naked plunder, it is easier than the Great Liao warriors plundering with swords!
For the Khitan, for the Great Liao, Yelu Tufting agreed to Zhang Jian's plan, he knew how risky it was to assassinate the Great Song Emperor, but he still had to do it, now the Great Liao has just experienced the defeat of the Western Xia, the lack of soldiers, His Majesty has gathered troops and horses in the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, but the time is extremely long, he is a dangerous move of the Great Liao, if he can successfully assassinate the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, then the entire Great Song army will become a piece of loose sand, and the Great Liao will effortlessly take back what is lost......
Once the emperor of the imperial expedition dies, God knows what will become of the army of the Great Song Dynasty, but Yelu Tufting knows that the army of the Great Song Dynasty will only get worse and will not get better, and the emperor of the imperial expedition is the soul of the army, and it is the source of morale of the army.
At the same time, it can completely turn the so-called auspicious into a big joke......
Black clothes and black armor are the standard equipment for assassins, Yelu Tufting has prepared the best equipment for them, the armor is the best cowhide soft armor, flexible and light, the sword is extremely sharp and steely, although it is not as sharp as clay, but it is more than enough for assassination, and more importantly, they carry crossbow arrows!
Although the range is not far, but it is expensive to fire continuously, it is said that it is the top craftsman of Daliao to restore the Yuan Rong crossbow, this thing is the essence of the way of Han personality, but the volume is slightly larger, it takes a person to carry, don't look at its large size is inconvenient, but the power is quite considerable" profit and loss crossbow, called Yuan Rong, with iron as the arrow, the arrow is eight inches long, and the power of one and ten arrows is amazing! ”
Yelu Tufting has long seen the power of the Great Song Dynasty ratchet crossbow, this thing is called the divine arm crossbow is not bragging, it is indeed faster than the crossbow arrow of the Liao Dynasty, and the power is more amazing, this time the Great Song Dynasty Northern Expedition Yanyun, the Khitan warriors suffered enough under the small ratchet crossbow.
The range of 300 steps made the Khitan warriors suffer heavy losses before they could rush in front of the Song people, and ordinary crossbow arrows shot three waves of arrow rain at the fastest under the charge of the cavalry, but this ratchet crossbow had as many as six waves! The speed is twice as fast as the original Great Song crossbow arrow! What's even more terrifying is its power, it can penetrate heavy armor within 300 steps, which makes how many elite cavalry of Daliao die on the spot?!
Looking at the Yuan Rong crossbow Yelu tufted his confidence came back again, the Song people had ratchet crossbows, and now Da Liao also has the Yuan Rong repeater crossbow, although it is not as long as the range of the Song people, but it is expensive in continuous fire, and it can be easily used by only one person, which can be regarded as the most suitable weapon to assassinate the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!
Yelu Tufting sneered slightly, didn't the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty like Gewu? Isn't it claimed that all the equipment in the world is out of the ordinary? Then this time he was going to die among his favorite objects.
Walking and walking, Yelu Tuft felt a breeze, and suddenly his eyes lit up, there was this feeling in the tunnel, which meant that they were about to reach the exit, and after a slight pause, a group of people gathered together, according to the previous plan, going out from the tunnel entrance should be the emperor's bedroom, and several people made the final preparations......
After midnight is a new day, since Zhao Zhen issued a holy decree, he naturally has to speak, the assassins just now have been wiped out, the role of the people of Xijin Mansion is quite large, and some people have paid the price of blood, the more this time, the more Zhao Zhen wants to show the emperor's courage, how can he change his words because of a few assassins? The vigil continued as usual.
Peng Qi increased the guards around Zhao Zhen for safety reasons, and vigorously investigated the fish called Yelu Tufting that slipped through the net, and he had a hunch that this Yelu Tufting must have a backhand.
It's a pity that Zhao Zhen didn't encounter any danger along the way with the people, which made Peng Qi and the guards who had been waiting for a long time extremely uncomfortable.
Peng Qi could only report to Zhao Zhen, who was extremely happy: "Official, we are incompetent and have not found the fish that slipped through the net......"
Zhao Zhen was slightly disappointed, put away the smile on his face and turned his head and said: "It's almost dawn, I have been acting all night, maybe he is just to destroy this opportunity for me to have fun with the people, but it's a pity that he is going to be disappointed, and the people of me and Yanyun are happy!" Send the black hand to intervene, your pro-health division is inferior to them in this regard. ”
Peng Qi nodded unwillingly and left, but Song Xiaoyi's kid was an expert in arrest, but I was afraid that the face that the pro-health division lost tonight would not be able to be recovered......
