Chapter 158: Saving the Driver
The scorching sun scorched the earth, and even the air was filled with a hint of hot and dry air.
It was a solemn and solemn day.
The ancestor worship ceremony is about to begin, the bronze tripod at the four corners is slowly emitting cyan smoke, and the group is dressed in dignified clothes and lined up very neatly.
The bright yellow figure led by Emperor Anhe is none other than Emperor Anhe.
After that, there were the queen, Xie Yuan and Xie Shiyun and other royal people.
As the ancient bell slowly rang, the group walked slowly towards the Qing Buddha Nunnery, where the ancestral shrine of the royal family was located.
As a general, the army guarding is led by Shen Sijun, who scans the four directions with cold eyes, and can also find it in time if there is any trouble.
Each step was carried out in an orderly manner, and the queen and Xie Shiyun secretly glanced at each other, and both bowed their heads slightly in tacit understanding.
The ancestor worship ceremony planned this time went well.
The bell stopped, and Emperor An He also led a group of people into the Qing Buddha Nunnery, burning incense and praying.
But just when he was about to step out after the prayer, an unexpected accident occurred.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Shen Sijun shouted abruptly.
The wind rose, the treetops shook, and countless dark arrows suddenly shot out from the dormant towering ancient trees.
"Guard!" Shen Sijun hurriedly raised his hand to signal, only to hear the "sonorous" sound of the metal collision of Qi brushes, and the soldiers instantly drew their swords, with the royal family as the center, slowly forming an encirclement to properly protect it.
The rain of arrows continued to fall, and the sound of metal colliding became more and more intense.
Xie Shiyun breathed a sigh of relief, but for no reason, a sense of crisis suddenly hit her heart.
If you consciously look back, you are startled, and your pupils shrink dramatically.
Shot from the very high canopy was an arrow that was pitch black. This angle is extremely tricky, and the guards can't stop it at all!
And the direction of the arrow is obviously Emperor Anhe.
The movement of her body was faster than her reaction, and at this time she was only one step away from Emperor An He. Hurriedly grabbed the latter's wrist, turned around with strength, and pushed with all his strength, and the pitch-black arrow pierced her shoulder at the same time, and blood splattered, staining her clothes red.
"Princess!"
"Shiyun!"
"Princess An Chen!"
“……”
The exclamations came one after another, and no one expected this scene, including Emperor An He himself.
He only felt a hard push in his back, and then staggered back, just in time to see his daughter being stabbed by an arrow.
"Doctor! Quick, call the doctor! Emperor An He looked at Xie Shiyun who slowly fell into his hands, and only felt that a piece of his heart had been stripped away, and his hands were stained with Xie Shiyun's blood, and he trembled very much.
At this moment, he couldn't care about the ancestor worship ceremony without delay, his eyes were red, and he shouted angrily.
He knew that she was trying to save him, the arrow of his father's talent, to save him!
"Your Majesty, go in first. The assassins are still here, it's too dangerous! The queen on the side hurriedly persuaded.
Although she also pitied Xie Shiyun, the safety of An and Emperor was more important.
A group of people were noisy and mixed in a circle, and Shen Sijun almost turned over and dismounted at the fastest speed in his life, breaking away the encirclement of the soldiers, but suddenly stopped.
He stared at Xie Shiyun, who fell to the ground and was injured, and the latter also looked at him.
But after just a moment of staring at each other, Xie Shiyun moved her gaze lightly, frowned, her face was pale, and her voice was much weaker than Fang Cai: "Your Majesty... You, you go in first... The Assassins haven't left... There is danger. ”
With these words, she only felt exhausted all her strength. The wound from the arrow was numb, his head was dizzy, and he could even clearly feel the extreme weakness of the blood slowly flowing out of his body.
"Okay, let's go in first, go in first, don't talk." Emperor An He was really moved, carefully hugged Xie Shiyun, was escorted by a group of people, and took the latter into the main hall of the Qing Buddha Nunnery again.
At this moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Xie Shiyun, and they were intently concerned. Therefore, no one noticed that the crown prince Xie Yuan's face had gradually darkened, the hands in his sleeves were almost clenched, and the sharp nails pierced into the palms to create deep red marks, which was quite a bit of a gritted tooth, and he muttered angrily to himself in an extremely low voice.
"Okay, what a Xie Shiyun...... This prince has calculated everything, but he has not counted this step! ”
This assassination was originally planned by him. Even the sharply angled arrow in the canopy was his idea.
Attract the attention of the soldiers with ordinary arrows, and then save the saint with his body, just enough to win the trust of An and the emperor, and then expand his power, and his position as the crown prince will be worry-free.
Just now, he had already taken that step to block it, but he was preempted by Xie Shiyun who suddenly appeared, how could he not be angry! It took a lot of time, manpower, and material resources to plan an assassination attempt, and he actually made a wedding dress for someone else! Not only did the goal not be achieved, but also had to face the possibility of being accused at all times.
Shen Sijun tried to calm down, but he didn't forget to call his subordinates to intercept the assassin.
"Remember, stay alive!" The voice was mixed with sky-high rage, and it was like the roar of a beast, "General Ben personally interrogated. ”
It was at this moment that a few people suddenly jumped down from the towering ancient trees of the second prince, and their whole bodies were wrapped in black, and at a glance they could see that they were the type of dead soldiers, and they fled from different directions, and in an instant, they were surrounded by the soldiers who came one by one.
But what the Assassins are good at is assassination, and where can they compare to real soldiers. In just a few breaths, all but one of the six Assassins were captured alive with an arrow.
"Say! Who appointed you? ”
was swept by Shen Sijun's sharp gaze, but the assassins were silent. It was only a momentary effort, and one of them suddenly tilted his head and fell, and a puff of blood gushed out of his mouth, and he was lifeless.
Shen Sijun secretly screamed badly, and was just about to make a move, but the other people all tilted their heads and fell down with exactly the same movements, and blood sprayed thinly.
"Damn it!" Shen Sijun scolded in a low voice, panting.
At this time, some soldiers stepped forward to take a look and said, "General, several people died of poisoning." They hide the poison in their mouths under the base of their tongue in advance, and even if they remove their chins, they can still kill themselves. ”
Xie Yuan, who was standing below, saw this scene, but the corners of his lips turned up slightly.
This has been designed for a long time, whether they succeed or not, they will commit suicide by poisoning, and use their lives to promise their families prosperity and peace for a lifetime.
Shen Sijun waved his hand and motioned for the soldier to go down, his heart was very chaotic, and he was so confused that he could.
It was his responsibility to let the Assassins blatantly infiltrate if he didn't protect it properly.
Xie Shiyun was injured, and it was his distress to watch her block arrows in front of his eyes.
No matter what the outcome is, he will bear the guilt.
