Chapter 338: The Assassin with a Crossbow

After the tail festival, the seal is on vacation.

The entire court hall was suspended.

From the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the annual leave period.

All government affairs are carried out in an orderly manner, and there is no need to rush the remarks that should be submitted by the localities, except for military affairs.

Everything has to wait until the sixteenth day of the first month, when the emperor makes a copy of the opening of the dynasty, and then he really starts to work.

At the end of the year, the whole Jinling City is full of harmonious atmosphere.

Fang Jue couldn't sit still, it was the time for all parties to move around the year, and many guests visited Fangjiazhuang.

Most of them came for the old pavilion master.

The old pavilion master of the Emperor Pavilion now lives in Fangjiazhuang in the capital, and this matter has long been spread.

On weekdays, there are forbidden troops and patrol battalions to maintain Fangjiazhuang, and many people are afraid of being afraid of being afraid and do not dare to visit easily.

But during the annual leave, you don't have to worry too much about it, it's normal for the provinces to move around each other.

During this time, wonders can be seen.

For example, two people who were still facing each other in the court a few days ago have already gathered together to drink and have fun.

The imperial history will not be blind, and it will be played at will at this time.

The Chinese New Year is always the day that the people of Daxia care about the most, and whoever dares to find it is not happy, it is impossible to get along with everyone.

No matter how heinous the person is, he will not be executed during this time, but the dungeon of the Jingzhao Mansion is already full of chickens and dogs.

These days, the most is these things, and people who travel during the Chinese New Year bring a lot of money, which gives convenience to thieves.

But the patrol battalion is not easy to mess with, and many thieves are caught, and some are even stuffed into the Praetorian Prison.

"Young master, let's not go out easily, there are too many people on the road, so it's easy for the assassin to hide." On the carriage, Dianyi persuaded.

Fang Jue smiled: "Don't get out of the carriage again." ”

When I came out to buy today, I planned to go to the Hanging Sword Division to take a look at Ye Hongyi, but the Hanging Sword Division's mansion was closed.

Except for the Hanging Sword Division, Fang Jue suddenly realized that he didn't know where to find Ye Hongyi.

Let people check, and wait for tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve, how to see each other.

"Young master, we've almost bought it, and the car behind us can't fit it." Dianyi said happily that he bought some materials for smelting weapons, and planned to cast some weapons and hidden weapons by himself.

During this period of time, in order to protect Fang Jue, Dianyi has consumed a lot of weapons, and he has to take advantage of this time to replenish them.

"Then go back." Fang Jue lay down and slept.

……

The carriage swayed and went out of the city, when suddenly there was a clanging sound of gold and stone colliding, which woke Fang Jue up.

"What's wrong?" Fang Jue got up suddenly.

Dian Yi had already drawn his sword: "Young master, there are assassins!" ”

"Stab me in the New Year?"

Fang Jue saw that the four walls of the carriage were full of arrows.

This carriage has been modified, with iron plates and cement, and it can penetrate the carriage with weapons above the crossbow of a small car.

It shows that someone from the military is involved.

"Why did you stab?" Fang Jue roared angrily in the carriage, without showing his head, he knew that there were strong crossbows on all sides, and the calf would be finished when he showed his head.

Noriichi has already been killed, and he is left in the carriage as a target.

The carriage could not walk and remained where it was, because the horse had already been shot.

Fortunately, Fang Jue's carriage was four-wheeled, and the horses of the trailer fell to the ground, which did not affect the balance of the carriage and could still stand.

"Poof—"

It's already crazy out there.

Fang Jue said: "Dian Yi, don't fall in love with the war, set off fireworks signals!" ”

The forbidden army and the patrol battalion can understand the fireworks signal, and the signal flares with special gunpowder are added, which are very eye-catching even in the daytime.

"Whoa—"

Hearing Fang Jue speak, Dianyi immediately took out a firework canister from his waist, unveiled the preset signal flare and shot into the sky.

"Don't care about Dianyi, it's Fang Jue in the carriage, rush over and kill him!"

"Kill!"

"Young Master, be careful!" Dianichi shouted that he was stopped by dozens of people and could not support in time.

In the carriage, Fang Jue had already finished loading the pistol under the seat.

Calmly holding two guns, he aimed them outside the carriage.

To get into the carriage, there is only this way, you only need to hold it for a while, and you will be fine as soon as you kill it.

"Whew......" Fang Jue took a deep breath, his hand holding the gun was a little sweaty, it was the first time he had faced such a danger.

"It's a little exciting, come on, see if you can kill me."

As he spoke, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a thug with a viscarf broke in.

"Fang Jue suffers death!"

"Bang!"

With a flick of the trigger, the knife-wielding assailant fell down before he could climb the steps inside the carriage.

"Don't be afraid, his musket can only hold one bullet, keep going!" Someone shouted outside.

Hearing this, Fang Jue suddenly became murderous, the only people who could know the details of firearms were the generals and the people from the Musket Bureau.

Who is it?

Could it be that someone who doesn't want to watch firearms develop wants to kill me?

The emergence of firearms touched the interests of many people, although Great Xia had the strength to dominate the world, but those people didn't care at all.

They don't want firearms to develop because they don't know them and they can't control them.

In the new round of war, military merit is attributed to firearms, and the benefits they can get are limited, and soon the new nobles who rely on firearms will replace and suppress their current position.

How can this be endured?

Fang Jue had already guessed this, so he always acted cautiously and never dared to be careless.

But this time, the other party even took out the crossbow, obviously trying to see the dagger, and he wanted to finish his work in one battle.

Don't give Fang Jue any life.

"Kill—"

The two flew into the carriage and, with long knives from above, poked downward.

"Qiang-" The strength of the roof also exceeded their expectations.

Fang Jue stretched out his hand from the window and fired two shots in succession: "Bumper-"

One was shot and fell, while the other was knocked back, fell out of the carriage and twisted his foot.

Fang Jue stretched out his hand from the window again, and a shot hit him in the chest, killing him instantly.

"Poof—"

But no, when he retracted his hand, a hidden blade flew and cut Fang Jue's wrist.

Blood splattered onto the curtain.

"Oops!" Fang Jue frowned, "Dian Yi, take the crossbow arrow first, I can hold on for a while!" ”

"Yes!"

Norichi's voice was far away.

More killers gathered around the carriage.

"What's the matter with his musket, it can be fired in bursts?"

"I knew he was hiding a hand, Fang Jue, you will definitely die today!"

"Go, push the carriage to its side, rush in and kill him while he is rolling!"

Hearing this, Fang Jue lightly held the gun in one hand and began to put on protective gear for himself in the other.

Armor, Fang Jue has a set, the set of the general who conquered the north, and he was given by the emperor after he returned.

This is legal A, which Fang Jue carries all day and hides under the seat in the carriage.

I'm afraid of something like this.

"Hey!"

"What's the matter, why can't you move this carriage, it's so heavy!"

"What's in this carriage, why can't it be lifted?"

"A few more!"

More people gathered to overturn the carriage, but Fang Jue suddenly jumped out of the carriage.

"Bang bang bang-"

Aimed at the people around the carriage, more than a dozen shots were fired until all of them were incapacitated.

"He's out, go kill him!"

"Huh-" The rain of arrows struck.

Fang Jue suddenly turned around and boarded the carriage again, and those arrows shot on the outer wall of the carriage couldn't even hang on it.

Almost all of them were broken or bounced off.

"Damn, what kind of carriage is this, like a turtle shell!"

"My lord, our ballista has been destroyed, we can't shoot through this carriage, and he has a burst of muskets, we are afraid that we will not be able to kill Fang Jue."

"This Fang Jue is so afraid of death, so deeply guarded, withdraw quickly, the forbidden army is coming!"

The sound of horses' hooves was far away, and Fang Jue fired a few more shots at random, but he didn't hear any movement or fright, before he was sure that they were really gone.

But Fang Jue didn't, any luck to be spared.

The sound of the forbidden army's horses' hooves approached, but the carriage and the armor were full of Fang Jue's blood.

Although it does not interfere with his life, his blood cannot be seen.

"Young Master forgive sins, Lu Xin is late!" Outside the carriage, Lu Xin's voice was full of self-reproach and anger.

"I'm fine, take me back to Fangjiazhuang." Inside the carriage, Fang Jue had already put down the gun and began to bandage the wound.
