Chapter 47: Darkness in the Sun [I]

On November 11, the hot weather seems to have eased a lot because of the coming winter, and there is a bit of a taste of late spring.

Song Renzong and Liu E went to the Tokyo Stadium to watch the game together, the mighty and mighty, the flags were standing in a row, the knights stopped their waists, and they showed off their might. Ban Zhi's black helmet and red robe, with a spear in one hand and a cast iron beast shield in the other, made people feel an awe-inspiring aura rushing towards their faces.

This naturally attracted a lot of people from Bianliang City to watch, and many people also wanted to pay tribute to Song Renzong and Liu E. However, this is not a movie, Song Renzong and Liu E have a high level of security, and they travel in a closed carriage, and it is not one. Song Renzong and Liu E each had three carriages of the same style, and no one could know in advance which one they would ride in when they traveled. Until the moment they went out, Song Renzong and Liu E would choose a carriage as their car at random. The other two naturally served as cover.

If Song Renzong showed his face at will, a strong crossbow would be enough to cause chaos in the Song Dynasty. And the strong crossbow, although it is not easy to get him, it is not completely impossible, especially for some big forces, they can even build a strong crossbow on their own.

Originally, Song Renzong asked Zhao Yu to go to Tokyo Stadium together, but Zhao Yu was too lazy to rush to Xuande Gate to wait for Song Renzong, and with Song Renzong, he had to be in order, and those officials were like wolves watching from the side. For Zhao Yu, who has always done his own thing in terms of surname, going to Tokyo Stadium with Song Renzong is looking for guilt, how can he be willing?

Zhao Yu didn't bring many people with his surname, and only Cao Feiliang, the scholar Song Xing, the personal eunuch Xiao Xuanzi, and the five forbidden soldiers accompanied him.

If it weren't for the fear of being looked down upon and ridiculed, Zhao Yu wouldn't have bothered to bring so many people. Hugging and being arrogant is not something Zhao Yu likes to do, and it is too superficial in Zhao Yu's opinion to elevate himself through such means.

Walking and walking, the group came to Taiping Street, which went directly to Baokang Gate. Although the area around Baokangmen is considered a slum in Bianliang City, but the slums are not all bad, this Taiping Street is quite flat and wide, although the road is not paved with bluestone slabs, but it is also a solid loess road, even if many horse-drawn carriages pass by, it only leaves shallow tracks. The horse walked on it and did not make the person on horseback feel how bumpy.

However, if you want to say that there is a bad thing, there are many people who go to Tokyo Stadium from here now, which makes Taiping Street dusty. Zhao Yu couldn't help but cover his nose with his sleeve, frowned and slowly rode forward.

Cao Feiliang couldn't help it at first, and complained: "Childe, if I knew this, we would have gone to the Bianhe!" Take a boat from the Bianhe River to Tokyo Stadium via the East Water Gate, and you don't need to eat dust here! ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Cao Feiliang and said, "You just think of it!" How many dignitaries and nobles are traveling with their ladies now? They were all by boat, and you could see how crowded the Bianhe River was when they passed by just now. If you take a boat, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it to Tokyo Stadium! ”

Cao Feiliang smiled stupidly and stopped talking.

Zhao Yu didn't bother to speak, now that the dust was flying, he had to risk a few puffs of dust when he said a word. But it was boring to stay on the horse like this, and Zhao Yu looked up at the nearby scenery.

Suddenly, Zhao Yu saw a dazzling flash, and he didn't know why, an indescribable premonition surged in his heart in an instant. Zhao Yu hurriedly lowered his head, at this moment, he already understood!

That thing should be a weapon, you must know that although there are shops in the Taiping Street area, but because the place is relatively backward, these shops are relatively simple. The roof is covered with tiles, not the kind of glaze, just simply fired tiles, with a rough and dull surface. Under the sun, it is naturally impossible to emit such a dazzling light.

Zhao Yu's hunch was right, and when the assassin saw that Zhao Yu seemed to have discovered him, he was a little annoyed. However, he still calmly pulled the trigger, "Whoosh! "The sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air can be faintly heard even on the street where the sound of people is boiling. This shows how terrifying this powerful crossbow bow is!

Because Zhao Yu was lying on the horse's back, the crossbow bolt did not hit Zhao Yu and passed over Zhao Yu. A forbidden soldier who was following Zhao Yu was unlucky, and the crossbow bolt stabbed into his waist and eye. The Praetorian soldiers howled in pain, and the horses were frightened and neighed, knocking the Praetorian soldiers to the ground.

The other Praetorian soldiers looked tense and exclaimed, "There are assassins!" ”

However, the number of them is too small, there are only four people in total, and now one of them is still unknown whether he is alive or dead, even if he falls off the horse, it is okay, but he has lost his combat effectiveness.

The people on the street were in chaos, and the Song Dynasty had been peaceful for decades, especially Bianliang City, as the capital of a country, and safety was the top priority. The closest war to them was probably the Chenqiao Mutiny. However, the Chenqiao Mutiny was in 960 AD, and now it is the first year of Ming Dao, that is, 10038 AD, which is almost a hundred years from now!

In ancient times, when early birth and early childbearing, one hundred years was enough for five generations to live together!

The five generations didn't know the soldiers, and suddenly there was blood, and the chaos was worrying. Several children sat on the side of the road and cried bitterly, calling out to their parents in hoarse voices. The old man was knocked to the ground, and immediately countless pairs of feet fell on it, and the old man never got up again.

One by one, the women called out the names of their children with sad faces, and perhaps by the time they found them, the children had already been trampled to death.

Zhao Yu was very angry at these guys who hurt people with secret arrows, but now he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself. Although Zhao Yu dodged the crossbow bolt launched for the first time, he soon had more than a dozen archers standing on the roof.

Bows and arrows are easier to forge privately than crossbows, and archers are easier to obtain, forming a team of archers with considerable archery skills by recruiting from hunters in the mountains.

Zhao Yu looked up and saw that these archers completely ignored the ordinary people below, looking at Zhao Yu with feverish eyes, bending their bows and arrows, and doing it in one go. Immediately "Whoosh! Sou! The sound of the arrow breaking through the air was loud, and Zhao Yu hurriedly turned over and dismounted. I didn't want to be in a hurry, and I was entangled in the stirrups, and Zhao Yu couldn't dodge.

However, Zhao Yu has been practicing martial arts with the Sanjie monk since he was a child, and as soon as his head was lowered, an arrow swept over Zhao Yu's head, and he swept over with the wingless black gauze hat, and his black hair immediately poured down.
