Chapter 158: One Shot
This question, Hongwu's eyes lit up, he had heard Bai Yingruo mention Yang Chen earlier, and he originally thought that his sister had reached the age of Sichun, so he exaggerated to a rural farmer. But today, this Yang Chen is really extraordinary, at least this one question, he was a little unable to parry.
Do you kneel out of fear or do you kneel out of respect...... He has been kneeling every day since he was a child, and he has never thought about this truth.
Emperor Hongwu laughed loudly: "Of course I want you to kneel down to me respectfully." ”
"Therefore, the grass people Yang Chen does not kneel to the emperor, if the emperor really wants the grass people to kneel, then the grass people Yang Chen will kneel now!" Yang Chen said slowly.
"Okay, you are a bad man, and you dare to take my army, I let you kneel now, didn't I just respond to your words, and I knelt down because you were afraid?" Emperor Hongwu shouted.
Yang Chen said bitterly: "But the emperor, grass people, I really can't find a reason to respect you." ”
When these words fell, those kneeling family members all gasped.
The only one who dares to say this is Yang Chen.
"Then I will give you a reason, the construction of the entire capital was completed by me and the emperors and ancestors of the past dynasties, and the Baixin of this capital is full of food and warm clothing, and I have also worked hard. When the people see that I am respected, why are you not respectful? Hongwu glared.
Yang Chen arched his hand slightly: "Your Majesty, first of all, the grass people are not from the capital. Moreover, if the emperor only looks at the capital, the grass people have nothing to say, but has the emperor been to other places? If the grass people don't say anything else, they will talk about Xuzhou. In my hometown, Xiaocheng, the people did not have enough food and clothing, and some people starved to death every day. There are even mountain bandits raging and domineering. Why should the grass people be grateful to the emperor and respect you? What have you brought me? ”
The current situation of Liaocheng is indeed miserable, has Emperor Hongwu ever seen it? He is a saint today, how could he go to such a remote place, but then again, we all live like that. Why should we respect you?
As for the affairs of the Dong'e people, Yang Chen thought about it and didn't say it. The water is too deep in the affairs of the imperial court. It is enough for Wan Renjie to say it, and he doesn't need to emphasize anything.
Even so, Emperor Hongwu was stunned for a moment.
Xuzhou, Liaocheng.
He is the respect of the Ninety-Five. A precious body. Where have you been?
Just when Hongwu was about to speak, suddenly, Yang Chen looked stunned and shouted: "Be careful! ”
When these words fell, he suddenly didn't know where to hit and released a cold arrow, and that Hongwu was reminded by Yang Chen's words, reacted in time, and pulled out of the way. But the guards behind him were not so sharp. An arrow pierced his chest, and his face turned black in an instant. Apparently a sign of poisoning.
"There are assassins!" The eunuch on the side shouted in panic.
Seeing that there was not a single arrow to kill Hongwu, the assassin hiding in the dark looked cold, and said in a low voice: "Brothers, things can't be good today, you're welcome, just take the emperor's head!" Go back and get the bounty! ”
For a while, the Baifu family, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly jumped up, took out knives and weapons one by one, and slashed at the family who was not his own person on the side.
This made Yang Chen take a half step back, and stretched out his hand to pull Bai Yingruo behind him.
"Yang, Yang Chen!" Seeing Yang Chen pull herself behind with one hand, Bai Yingruo's face flushed, where had she ever been in such intimate contact with a man.
The most important thing is that this Yang Chen's serious appearance makes her not have the slightest idea of insult.
Looking at the dozens of assassins lurking in Baifu, after killing the family members on the side, they stepped forward and went straight to Emperor Hongwu.
The dozen or so guards beside Hongwu didn't say a word, they carried knives, and shouted to protect the emperor in their mouths, and they went to these assassins.
"Yang Chen, you are helping, the emperor you provoked just now was unhappy, and now you are guilty of meritorious service, which is a good thing." Bai Yingruo stomped her feet anxiously on the side, thinking that Yang Chen was indifferent now that he was a good martial artist, how could he not be angry?
Isn't this Yang Chen very smart, why has he become a wooden fish head now?
Yang Chen didn't answer Bai Yingruo's words, just lightly raised his fingers and made a 'shhh' sound.
It wasn't his turn to make a move.
In fact, the most dangerous moment was the cold arrow just now, dodging the cold arrow, with the guards carried by Hongwu's side, how could he really be afraid of these assassins?
Do you really think that the emperor's guards are the ones who want to be? All of them are good hands, Yang Chen took a big look, each of them was a capable person with extreme external functions, and none of them was worse than the escort Xu San brought by Bai Yingruo.
However, it is worth mentioning that these dozens of assassins are also good hands, and after fighting for so long, they are stunned to deal with these dozen or so guards, and they are on a par.
But these are not what Yang Chen should pay attention to.
He paid attention to the assassin who had just released the cold arrow, and the assassin was probably the real horn.
The assassin hid in the dark, and after letting go of a cold arrow just now, he shouted, and the man hid again, and he didn't know where he went.
Yang Chen grabbed Bai Yingruo's wrist, and Bai Yingruo did not leave an inch, gradually moving his steps.
As he moved, Yang Chen observed his surroundings.
That Hongwu is also a shrewd person, knowing that the one who can threaten him the most is the one who releases the cold arrow, and looks around with big eyes, for fear that the cold arrow will shoot again at some point.
But......
This cold arrow is easy to dodge, but it is difficult to dodge.
"There!" Yang Chen suddenly saw a bright light under the dazzling eyes.
After this bright light flickered, Yang Chen's naked eyes narrowed and caught an undetectable silver needle. Immediately, he was not half ambiguous. The figure walked straight forward, towards the Hongwu, the speed was as fast as lightning on a sunny day.
This made Hongwu confused and didn't know what Yang Chen was going to do, and thought that Yang Chen was also with the assassin, but recalled that Yang Chen reminded him to be careful, and felt that Yang Chen was not, and came and went. As soon as he came back to his senses, he suddenly felt a chuckle in his heart and his body stiffened.
He only found a silver needle standing in front of his eyebrows, just a trace of it, enough to pierce his eyebrows.
The silver needle was dripping with a strange black liquid, apparently the venom.
Hongwu knew very well that this was accompanied by the silver needle of venom, and if he took a step further, he would die here today.
However, the silver needle stopped there, and did not go forward half an inch.
At the last moment, fortunately, it stopped!
Hongwu looked at it carefully in shock, only to find that it was Yang Chen who stood in front of him at some point, pinching the silver needle with his bare hands with his two fingers, so that the silver needle failed to pierce his eyebrows.
Yang Chen rushed towards him just now, it turned out that he had already discovered this poisonous needle? (To be continued.) )
