Chapter 292: Bloodstained on the Long Street (2)
The mournful cry of the king's handle and the whistling sound of sharp arrows made the groggy Jia Yidao wake up instantly. He never imagined that the mastermind behind his life, whom he had been searching for for months and wanted his life, would be so bold as to be in such a situation.
After sobering up, Jia Rudao, listening to the sound of sharp arrows whistling in the sky, the first thought that appeared in his mind was not to worry about his own life, but to be surprised how these assassins could be so bold!
He knew very well that these people who wanted his life now were different from Sun Kui and others who assassinated Meng Hui in the first place. Sun Kui and the others themselves are the green forest thieves who have passed today and have no tomorrow, as for themselves, except for some enemies in the political dispute or some enemies in the court who have offended him or don't know for various reasons, Jia Rudao thinks that in the past those unbearable days, although he had some small personal grudges with some scholars and gentlemen, most of them were because of some trivial things, such as the trouble caused by jealousy for a certain Qinglou woman, such a small trouble, how could it not reach the point of hiring a murderer to ask for his life. If the grudge was really that deep, it is estimated that he would have died countless times.
Those who really wanted his life, only one person was sent for the first assassination, and finally failed because of Mo Ye. Obviously, those people also have scruples about acting in Lin'an City.
After all, this is Lin'an City!
After all, this is where the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty is located! At the feet of the Son of Heaven!
But at this moment, the roaring sound of flying arrows in the sky clearly told sΓΉ Jia that this was no longer an assassination, but an ambush in the open!
"Protect your lordship!"
The knight who had been the first to warn the king heard the sound of arrows whistling and shouted after him. shouted on his mouth, but the movements in Liu Meng's hands were not slow, but he had already dragged the war horse behind him to the side of the sedan chair.
Obviously, in the face of this sound of arrows, he knew that there must be a lot of arrows, even if his martial arts were as strong as him, he was not sure that he could be absolutely sure that he could block all these feather arrows!
Jia Rudao is not him, just a weak scholar, I am afraid that a small feather arrow can kill him. And this is still when the feather arrow is not poisoned, if it is coated with poison......
As a result, Liu Meng no longer dared to imagine.
Seeing Liu Meng like this, the other three forbidden army guards also reacted quickly and dragged the war horse under the crotch to the small sedan chair as a barrier and meat shield, but the king didn't care about anything else at the moment, and pulled Jia Yidao out of the sedan chair and protected him tightly. As for those palanquin drivers, no one cares whether they live or die. Of course, Wang Shan and the others don't even dare to guarantee their own life or death, how can they have the energy to take care of these palanquin men who suffered from the disaster of pond fish?
"Arrows, call for help!"
Liu Meng said on his lips, but the movements in his hands did not stop at all, and a little fire in his sleeve had risen rapidly.
"Bang!"
The flames rose to a height of dozens of feet and exploded, and bright orange-red sparks flew out in all directions, which were particularly dazzling under the deep night sky.
"Bang bang bang!"
The red fireworks arrows released by Liu Meng are still rushing in the night sky, and three identical bright orange-red fireworks burst one after another, and four red fireworks reflect the night sky of Lin'an City in red, which is particularly dazzling, presumably even from a distance of more than ten miles, you can see the bright red rays that burst out in the air.
Jia Rudao, who was standing behind the king's authority, saw the four long-lasting red rays that burst out in mid-air, and he thought in his heart.
When he was in Xiangyang City, he had never seen Meng Heng's Jinghu army use such a way to transmit messages, and most of them used drums or banners to transmit messages. And he naturally knows the identities of Liu Meng's four people very well, thinking that this is a unique way to transmit information or warn in the hands of the forbidden army's personal guards. It's just that I didn't expect the four of them to leave Zhao Yun's side and still carry these things with them.
Naturally, Jia Nidao would not know that this was the arrow that Zhao Yun deliberately left for Liu Meng and the four of them, just because he was worried that Jia Nidao would be assassinated again. This arrow, the meaning of the representative is extraordinary, it represents the highest level of distress signal in the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to Zhao Yun and the concubines of the harem, even King Rong Zhao and Rui are not qualified to enjoy it.
In this regard, Jia Rudao's treatment should also be the only one in the Great Song Dynasty.
Wang Shan and Liu Meng are all veterans of battle, and they know from the sound of the incoming whistling that the dozens of feather arrows shot are all crossbow arrows. There may be some bows and arrows among the people, but crossbows are strictly forbidden to be used among the people by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. Being able to have such a number of crossbow arrows in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty was an extremely abnormal thing in itself.
Dozens of crossbow arrows arrived in an instant.
The first to bear the brunt were the four sedan chairmen who had been frightened and the four war horses that served as meat shields. The sound of crossbow arrows tearing human bodies into the flesh and blood was endless, and the four palanquin men and four war horses were already shot alive by the swarming crossbow arrows before they even had time to scream!
"Jingle Bell!" The sound was endless, but Liu Meng, who was in a group outside and guarded Jia Yidao in the center, was cleaning up the remaining crossbow arrows. Wang Shan held a knife in one hand and pulled Jia Nidao nervously in the other, any fish that slipped through the net might kill Jia Nidao.
Two muffled snorts came in a row, but two guards had already been caught in the crossbow arrows. Fortunately, it was not the point, and the two of them silently pulled out the crossbow arrows inserted in their hands and legs and threw them down.
A faint smell of blood began to spread in the cold winter night.
Under the moonlight, it can be clearly seen that at least dozens of black shadows on both sides of the street have appeared, quickly covering and killing the six people of Jia Rudao.
There was no shouting and killing, and there would be no scenes, the dozens of black shadows approached quickly and silently, and the murderous aura was overflowing!
Gently breaking free from the aching arm grasped by the king's handle, Jia Rudao silently took out a silver object from his arms, and then took out a brocade belt from his sleeve, silently but quickly stuffed a short and round cylinder into the silver object, and there was a low crisp golden sound.
Fortunately, there was only one wave of crossbow arrows, and seeing that the assassin finally appeared, Liu Meng and the four of them quietly clenched the long knife in their hands. Hearing the movement behind, Liu Meng glanced back.
Looking at Jia Yidao, who was silent and still standing straight, Liu Meng's eyes showed a bit of admiration and curiosity. admired because when I was in the palace, I heard about the deeds of this young magnate who was now the hottest young magnate in the Great Song Dynasty who beheaded people on the street and ridiculed the Mongolian king in front of the battle; Curious, naturally it was the incomplete version of the large revolver in Jia Yidao's hand.
Jia Yidao, who was silently staring at the assassins who came from all sides and was busy loading bullets in his hands, seemed to feel something for Liu Meng's eyes, and turned his head. Liu Meng was facing Jia Rudao's bright eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
In those bright eyes, there was no panic, only bottomless calm! But it was this calm without any fluctuations, but Liu Meng couldn't help but feel weak in his heart.
Suddenly, Liu Meng saw that the young magnate suddenly grinned, his white teeth flashing in the silver moonlight with an indescribable coldness!
"Cover your ears!"
ββ¦β¦ What the? β
