Volume 2 The Puppet Son of Heaven Chapter 46 The Assassin King Kills the Driver (I)
It was past noon, and the wind was a little lighter, but the snow was still falling.
But the city of Liangzhou was obviously not affected by the weather, it was still bustling, with countless shops open at both ends of the long street leading from the city gate to the interior, and many people were constantly coming in and out, buying what they wanted.
Sun Ning lifted the curtain of the car window slightly and looked out, and sighed unconsciously, no matter what else, at least Guo Yan still put a lot of thought into the governance of Liangzhou.
Even though there is chaos outside, there are soldiers fighting each other from time to time, and bandits are everywhere, but the people in Liangzhou City under his rule still live and work in peace and contentment, and do not have to worry about their livelihood.
This is a capable minister, if he can really be loyal to his own use, it is a great help.
However, as their large group of foot riders continued to penetrate down the long street, the people on the side began to be driven and intercepted several kilometers away.
There are even soldiers who pick up their spears, draw their swords out of their sheaths, and wield long whips, forcing the people who don't know what to do to continue to dodge to the side.
This made the otherwise orderly scene a little chaotic.
Then, more people turned away, or went straight into the depths of the shops and the alleys next to them, which made the long street that was still bustling and bustling suddenly deserted.
Although those shops did not close immediately, no one dared to come out at will, only a pair of eyes with awe and curiosity secretly looked over from time to time.
This kind of scene made Sun Ning sigh a little helplessly, and he originally wanted to appreciate the prosperity of Liangzhou more closely.
"Your Majesty, this is also for your safety, after all, there are many traitors now, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no rebel assassins hiding in our Liangzhou City, which is suddenly unfavorable to you. I also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. ”
As if hearing his sigh, a general accompanying the carriage hurriedly whispered an explanation.
Sun Ning naturally didn't come to care, so he only responded in a low voice, indicating that he accepted it.
Then, when I glanced left and right, the street in front of me had been emptied, and even many stores had been temporarily closed, only this team was still slowly moving forward.
This made Sun Ning no longer interested in looking out, so he wanted to put down the curtain in his hand, and casually asked the two poetic sisters who were also curious to watch behind him: "What do you think of this Liangzhou City?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's very good here, although it's not as prosperous as Luoyang, it's safer, and you don't have to worry about being hurt."
"Also, this is the largest city we've ever seen, much bigger than the small county town we grew up in......
"Yes, this Liangzhou is already one of the few big cities in the world, maybe in a few years, it will become the premier existence......"
Sun Ning was sighing with emotion, and his eyes finally glanced out the window and was about to leave.
But in an instant, his expression tightened, and without the slightest warning, he hurriedly moved to the side, and at the same time pressed his hands back, and pressed the two women who still wanted to look out, making them let out an exclamation.
At the same time, several shrill whistling sounds flew from the side, and there were seven or eight wolf-toothed arrows, shooting straight at the carriage, and they entered through the window at once!
If it weren't for Sun Ning's glimpse of seeing a few cold stars shining, and he was shocked to avoid in time, he was afraid that the three people who were watching in front of the window at this time had been penetrated by cold arrows.
Only then did the people around the vehicle scream:
"There are assassins!"
"Quickly protect the emperor and your lordship!"
"Over there! Shieldman, come and protect the carriage! ”
All of a sudden, the neatly organized ranks were thrown into disarray, some screaming, some rushing forward, and many others were completely stunned by the sudden assassination, and they stood there completely unaware of how to react.
Guo Yan's reaction was quite quick and accurate, only after being stunned for a moment, anger flashed in his eyes, and he decisively ordered: "Come on, protect Your Majesty's car first!" Xuanjiawei, protect the carriage and get out of here first! ”
With Guo Taishou's order, the hundreds of heavily armored cavalry who were originally guarding him quickly moved and surrounded Sun Ning's carriage, and then some soldiers and generals each protected the panicked city officials and retreated to the side.
There are even soldiers and horses who have already rushed forward decisively under the orders of several generals, rushing in the direction where those cold arrows came from. Before the people arrived at the place, a rain of hundreds of arrows was already enveloping and flying over.
They were about to shoot again, but a general in the rear had already shouted angrily: "Catch them alive, don't kill them!" ”
Only then did they stop and continue to shoot, but instead speed up their rush and split into several teams, congesting from different directions on the left and right.
Although Sun Ning was attacked by a sneak attack, the arrows that he narrowly avoided were still buzzing and trembling on the wall of the carriage above his head, but there was no fear on his face, he only leaned down, peeked out of the car, and observed the changes around him.
Seeing that those heavily armored soldiers were quickly surrounded, and the other soldiers and horses quickly prepared a defensive counterattack under the dispatch of Guo Yan and others, which made him feel a little relieved, and he had a high opinion of Guo Yan and Liangzhou soldiers.
Just this point is not chaotic, and the appearance of the order and prohibition is already better than all the soldiers and horses in Nanyang City, even Yu Linwei, who has been carefully trained by him, looks very immature compared to Yiyi.
"No wonder Guo Yan dared to bring me here, this is where his confidence lies. If the 100,000 elites in Liangzhou had such skills, they would be really quite competitive. ”
Sun Ning was still sighing, and suddenly another warning suddenly appeared in his heart, making him turn over and move towards the rear again at the same time as he was excited.
It wasn't like he had just reacted to what he saw, but because of a feeling.
This is the magical sixth sense of the crisis that I have gained from walking on the edge of life and death for many years, from one battle after another, in exchange for my life.
When he was a mercenary in his previous life, this feeling saved Sun Ning's life more than once, but this time?
Just as he made evasive moves, a bigger change suddenly happened-
