Chapter 309: Cold Arrow Attack, Murderous Intent

The eight-inch-long steel arrow spun rapidly in mid-air, and the powerful force directly tore through the air, making an extremely piercing sound.

As if carrying wind and thunder, the huge Fuyuan crossbow arrow directly pierced the space, and in the blink of an eye, it had already shot towards the black carriage under the city gate.

Li Zhu, who was sitting on the side of the carriage, had a look of horror in his eyes, he never thought that Li Xuan had just arrived in Wuzhou, and the assassination would follow.

"Take the baton!" Li Xuan's voice came from behind, and the corner of Li Zhu's eyes immediately swept a black iron rod sticking out from behind.

He subconsciously scooped it up, flipped his hand, sat there, and while kicking upward, he aimed at the Fuyuan crossbow arrow that was about to shoot in front of him and smashed it from the side with all his might.

With a "bang", the black iron rod smashed the body of Fu Yuan's crossbow arrow.

Suddenly, the piercing sound of gold and iron clashing came.

The crossbow arrow of Fuyuan rushed forward at a rapid speed, and where it was hit by the black iron rod, it burst out with bright sparks.

With a "bang", the black carriage exploded instantly.

Countless pieces of wood flew between them, and huge crossbow bolts slammed into the ground on the left.

On top of the ruined carriage, a young nobleman wearing a purple round-necked robe and a seven-beam crown sat in the center of the carriage.

A trail of blood oozed from the left side of his cheek and dripped to the ground.

The cold eyes instantly lifted and slammed into the city gate above.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed on the city gate.

The next moment, a slender cold arrow had already shot straight down from the city gate tower.

Compared to the earth-shattering nature of Fu Yuan's crossbow, the cold arrow that suddenly shot out was silent, and it had already been shot in front of Li Xuan's eyes in a blink of an eye.

Li Zhu, who was knocked to the ground by the powerful impact force, saw this scene, and his face had already become extremely shocked.

He tried hard to lift the iron rod in his hand, but the moment he smashed the crossbow arrow just now almost exhausted all his strength.

Even the tiger's mouth has been torn.

But even so, he had already slammed upwards with all his might, and the next moment, the iron rod was directly smashed into the air.

The cold arrow was even faster than Li Zhu expected, and in the blink of an eye, it had already shot in front of Li Xuan.

At this moment, a bright sword light suddenly appeared.

The incomparably light sword light, as if turned into a silk thread, kept winding and rotating around the long arrow, and then slightly.

The long arrow that rushed forward had already circled Li Xuan in a blink of an eye, and immediately, the sound of wind and thunder suddenly sounded, and the cold long arrow had already flown towards the city head in a blink of an eye.

In an instant, the long arrow had already crossed between the battlements and was fiercely nailed to the gate tower behind.

With a "buzz", the long arrow trembled incessantly, and everyone who watched was stunned.

At this moment, an angry shout came from below: "What are you still doing in a daze, protect the prince!"

While speaking, Yan Tao, who was tall and fierce and wearing fish scale armor, was already standing on top of the carriage and standing in front of Li Xuan.

The Tang knife on his waist was already out of the sheath, and the sharp blade was facing the city gate, Yan Tao shouted loudly: "Go to the city, catch the thief, catch the thief."

The crowd reacted immediately, and Huracha rushed in the direction of the city gate.

"No need to arrest, the person is gone!" A calm voice came from behind Yan Tao, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he firmly pushed Yan Tao to the side, Li Xuan, who was wearing a purple five python and five chapter clothes, stepped out and stood up, already side by side with Yan Tao.

At the same time, a hand stretched forward, and Li Zhu, who fell to one side, was immediately pulled up.

Then, Li Xuan handed the eight-sided Han sword in his hand to Li Zhu's hand, and Li Zhu quickly twisted the long sword and iron rod together.

A three-zhang long lance had already appeared in Li Zhu's hand.

Li Xuan patted Yan Tao on the shoulder behind him and said, "Okay, there is no danger, you go down first, and immediately lead people to control everyone up and down the entire city gate, and immediately arrest those who are there, and send someone to arrest them at home if they are not."

Yan Tao immediately turned around and arched his hand at Li Xuan: "The lower official obeys the order!"

Immediately, Yan Tao jumped out of the carriage in one step, and then stretched out his hand, and the surrounding servants immediately followed behind Yan Tao and headed towards the city gate tower.

Li Xuan turned around and looked at Zhang Yi, who had joined the army on the side, but the person suddenly sneered: "Zhang joins the army, is this Wuzhou City, is it still the Wuzhou City of the Tang Dynasty, why did this king just come to Wuzhou, and immediately someone couldn't help but do it, why, can't this king come to this Wuzhou City?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's the crime of the lower officials, the lower officials must be, they must ......" Zhang Yi's mind suddenly went blank, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

"Forget it, it's none of your business, Sima and Fa Cao are not in the army, and it's normal for the cow ghosts and snake gods in Wuzhou City to come out." Li Xuan turned his head, looked at Shen Tuo, whose face was slightly pale on one side, and asked with concern, "Old Shen, are you okay?"

"Back to the prince, the old man is unharmed, but this kind of thing, the old man has never encountered it once in his life." Shen Tuo's face was full of wry smiles.

He subconsciously looked at Yang Yan on the side, Teng Yu and Qian Zhe, and the faces of several people were also embarrassed.

Li Xuan encountered one after another at the gate of Wuzhou City, such a thing is not only a slap in the face of Wuzhou officials, but also a slap in the face of many Wuzhou families.

This makes the people look at it, this makes the state officials look at it, and this makes the center and the saints see it.

"This king is okay, and the assassination of this king by the traitor is not once or twice, but it is the first time that I can't wait to wait like this." Li Xuan could still laugh easily at this moment.

Everyone present couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration for him in their hearts.

Li Xuan turned to look at Yan Tao, who was already standing on the city gate, and sneered slightly: "Especially the use of the Fuyuan crossbow, it is really the first time, and I really don't want this king to step into Wuzhou City in half a step!"

Fuyuan crossbow, a heavy weapon to defend the city.

Mulberry into arms; Silk tendon remixing; The crossbow body has a bronze casing with a mechanism inside; The receiver is equipped with a special eight-inch steel-tipped crossbow arrow, which can shoot 300 paces and penetrate heavy armor.

With huge lethality and ultra-long range, it has always been a heavy weapon of the militaristic state.

Even in the entire Wuzhou City, there is only one on the North City Gate and one on the Central Watchtower, and it has not been used for a long time.

Who would have thought that someone would use him to snipe Li Xuan.

It's the kind of thing that makes people shudder just thinking about it.

"Elder Shen, listen to this king's advice, in the recent past, it is better to recuperate at home temporarily, don't go out at will if you have nothing else, it is best to restrain the children in the family at the same time, and wait until this king has cleared all these cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and then this king will invite Shen Lao, as well as all of you, how about drinking together?" Li Xuan turned his head sideways and looked at Yang Yan, Teng Yu and Qian Zhe on the side, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Obey the Lord's orders!" Shen Tuo, Yang Yan, Teng Yu and Qian Zhe bowed down at the same time.

At this time, who still has the heart to think about the dinner party.

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Li Zhu on the side, and asked in a low voice, "Qiu Beishen, has there been no news yet?"

"Not yet!" Li Zhu held the lance in his hand and subconsciously looked at the city gate: "Qiu Beishen should have chased after the assassin."

As soon as Li Zhu said this, everyone present remembered Qian Niuwei, who had been guarding Li Xuan's side.

"I forgot to introduce to you, the one who followed this king before was Zuo Qianniu Wei Qianniu Wei Beishen Qiu Erlang, the grandson of Gongqiu Gong of Meicheng County, the second son of Guoyi Duwei Qiu Shenyan, and the current Zuo Qianniu Wei Zheng Liupin Qianniu Wei Beishen, his uncle Qiu Shenyu, was recently transferred to the governor of Shezhou Prefecture."

Li Xuan looked back at the city gate and said with a worried face: "The moment this king got out of danger just now, Brother Qiu had already chased the murderer, maybe, at this time, Qiu Beishen was about to follow to the murderer's lair."

Li Xuan said a word, and everyone present suddenly had a trace of worry on their faces.

Li Xuan took in the changes in everyone's faces, but he didn't show any expression.

At this moment, Bing Cao joined the army, Yan Tao had already led a team of Wuzhou conscripts, walked quickly in front of Li Xuan, and said, "Go back."

My lord, all the people above and below the city gate have been taken."

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded slightly, and for a moment, his face became completely indifferent, he turned his head to look at Du Bixing on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Du, now that Sima and Fa Cao are both gone, this king is now appointing you to temporarily inspect the authority of Wuzhou Fa Cao, and after Sima and Fa Cao return tomorrow, the authority will be returned, are you willing to accept the order?"

Li Xuan's right hand stretched forward, and a black-gold arrow had already appeared in front of Du Bixing and the people in Wuzhou present.

Without the slightest hesitation, Du Bixing immediately stepped forward and said, "The old man obeys the order."

The arrow in Li Xuan's hand turned to the people present, and everyone immediately solemnly bowed their hands at the same time: "Obey the order of the assassin, obey the order of the driver!"

Li Xuan's news of holding the Wuzhou Assassin Shi Ling is not a secret at all among the real Dongyang top-level families.

Although Li Xuan forcibly blocked the checkpoints of Dongyang Sikou, there are still many people who cross the mountains and mountains.

What's more, there are also messenger channels such as carrier pigeons, although many details of what happened in Dongyang are not clear to outsiders, but Li Xuan once publicly put out three arrows in the court, these top families in Wuzhou all know in their hearts.

"This order will be handed over to you, from now on, bring a thousand Niu Guards, one by one to distinguish the soldiers and guards of the four city gates in Wuzhou, clean up the Tianyin Sect among them, those who are willing to clear up their relationship with the Tianyin Sect, stay in office, if they are unwilling, they will be cleared immediately, and those who resist will be killed immediately."

Li Xuan stretched out his hand and handed the assassination arrow in his hand to Du Bixing's hand, and said coldly: "The method, or the one we have in Dongyang, this king doesn't care about anything else, every gate in Wuzhou City must be under control, and there must be no omission."

"The Commander obeys!" Du Bixing took it without the slightest hesitation.

He was Wuzhou Sima before, and now he is temporarily taking over the matter of Wuzhou Facao, and he is just waiting.

After speaking, Du Bixing bowed his hand to Li Xuan, then turned over and galloped towards the city gate.

Li Xuan waved his hand, and Zhou Qian on the side had already followed closely with a team of Qianniu Guards.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the people of the Wuzhou family couldn't help but change slightly.

The method used by Li Xuan to sever ties with the Tianyin Sect was known to everyone in the entire Dongyang City.

As soon as the Dongyang checkpoint opened, the relevant news immediately spread.

In particular, some of the key points are not fully informed, and the most important points are still transmitted.

A moment later, a figure was finally released by Qianniuwei.

A middle-aged lieutenant wearing a fine iron plate armor came to Li Xuan's side, and said to Li Xuan, "Fan Xue, the captain of the city gate, has seen the prince." Z.br>

Li Xuan's gaze swept over Fan Ze's head, and he couldn't help but sink slightly.
