Chapter 134: The Assassin's Murder

"Why...... Why ......" Jin Luoyi stood in place, and two lines of tears could not stop flowing.

"Brother Yu, do you still love me?" she asked.

"I love you!" Yu nodded and replied affirmatively.

Jin Luoyi still wanted to say something, but Yu Zhong had already sealed her lips, and a familiar warmth was transmitted, she closed her eyes, and hugged Yu Zhong unwillingly.

Pedestrians coming and going on the street are constantly turning around, and some are even applauding.

After all, such a pair of handsome men and women, when they are on the street, they are really eye-catching.

Soon, the day of the ninth day of the new year came.

The streets of Hongchang Mansion were crowded with people, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the crown prince of the Southern Han Kingdom.

Originally, Tang Jian planned to clean the street, but was rejected by Ji Yubing, he also hoped to see the spiritual outlook of the people, and also show his love for the people.

But there is another problem, there are people along the way, and if there are a few assassins hidden among them that are not good for the prince, how to prevent this.

In order to be foolproof, Tang Jian not only mobilized the army, but also sent all the personal soldiers in the mansion out, but he was still worried and frowned.

"Look, the prince will take this road in the city when he chariots into the capital later, and I have arranged for the most elite soldiers to guard here. Tang Jian said.

"The number of people is indeed a bit large, no wonder Lord Tang is so worried. Yu Zhong looked at the crowds of people, and he couldn't help but worry.

"Lord Tang, don't worry so much, the garrison you have arranged is already so tight, there shouldn't be any mistakes. Xie Huchen comforted.

"If you're a little careless, it's a head-scratching thing, and you think I don't have to worry about it. Tang Jian replied.

Xie Huchen looked around the surrounding environment, and saw that the houses on both sides of the road had been arranged with archers and lookouts, and if there was any movement in the crowd, they could not escape their eyes.

"Lord Tang, there are guards arranged for that building. Xie Huchen pointed to a bell tower in the distance, which looked six or seven feet high.

"The bell tower is at least five hundred paces from the main road, and it can accommodate up to two people, so it's unlikely that there are any Assassins. Tang Jian said.

"Lord Tang, you are an archer, how far can you shoot. Xie Huchen squinted, gestured with his finger to the bell tower, and asked.

"I have a divine arm bow, and I can shoot at a target four hundred paces away, which is already the limit, and I have not met anyone more accurate in archery than mine. Tang Jian said confidently.

"What Lord Tang said is flat shooting, what if you are on top of a tall building of seven or eight feet?" Xie Huchen asked again.

"Although I can barely reach 500 steps, it is impossible to find such a powerful shooter. Although Tang Jian said with a smile, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the sergeant to go and explore the bell tower quickly.

"If there are Assassins there, I'm afraid a few sergeants can't handle it, I'll check it out. Xie Huchen said.

"That's great, the prince is about to enter the city, I have to hurry to the city gate to prepare, and I will leave it to the two of you. Tang Jian said happily.

"Brother Yu, you only need to stand in the two-story houses on both sides of the road for a while, if there is really any change, it is up to you here. After Xie Huchen finished speaking, he hurriedly rushed to the bell tower with a few sergeants.

After a while, only the drums in the direction of the city gate were heard, and it was obvious that the prince's chariot had entered the city.

Looking at it from afar, a banner fluttered in the wind, and the honor guard was fierce and extraordinary. And the masked man next to the prince's chariot attracted Yu Zhong's attention.

But it wasn't his mask that caught his attention, it was the sword behind his back.

"Why is this sword so familiar?" Yu Zhong thought secretly, but he couldn't see it clearly because of the distance.

He looked downstairs again, and the people on the street were rubbing shoulders one after another, everyone waving small flags in their hands, which was very lively.

"Let me see if there's anyone suspicious. He muttered to himself, his eyes shining brightly as he swept through the crowd.

After looking at it for a while, he beckoned and motioned to the sergeant beside him: "Next, I will talk about a few people, you can write down their locations for me, and inform all the sergeants to pay attention to these people." ”

It turned out that he had really noticed a few strange people, who were in front of the celebratory crowd, but they kept their heads down, their hands under them, and there was no joy on their expressions.

"That black-faced man, and the yellow-faced beard there, and the ...... there," Yu Zhong identified one by one, and the sergeant beside him nodded as he recorded.

At this time, above the bell tower, an assassin had already drawn the bowstring, and the direction of the arrow was the direction of the prince's chariot.

The expression on the Assassin's face was very confident, he had already practiced here ten times, and nine times he had hit the target, and the time he missed was because of a sudden gust of wind blowing out of thin air.

Today the sky is high and the clouds are light, there is no wind, and it is a good weather.

"Seven hundred steps...... Six hundred steps...... Five hundred and fifty steps......" He stared at the moving chariot and counted silently in his heart.

As soon as you go five hundred steps, you are in range, and this is the only chance.

A drop of sweat ran down the tip of the assassin's nose, and the arrow was tied with **, and the lead was already sizzling, even if it didn't hit, the power of ** was enough to hurt someone.

Suddenly, only a "whoosh" sound was heard, and a black shadow swept by, accurately hitting the arrow tied to **, directly cutting off the lead, and the flame was extinguished instantly.

The blow startled the Assassin, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he saw the arrow fly straight out of the wind.

The remaining weight here was not far from the chariot, and only a sound of breaking the air was heard, and an arrow shadow swept by. He shouted in his heart that something was wrong, and flew down the second floor, and Yan Jun's sword was unsheathed, but it did not hit the arrow.

Fortunately, because the assassin was frightened and missed, he fired the arrow in advance, and the distance was a little farther, and he did not hit the chariot, but only landed dozens of paces away.

"There are assassins. The tiger warriors guarding the prince were waiting around the chariot.

Yu Zhong hurriedly looked in the direction of the bell tower, hoping that there would be no accidents on Xie Huchen's side.

At this time, the crowd also panicked, scattered and fled, scattering the sergeants guarding on both sides of the street, and the scene was chaotic.

Among them, dozens of assassins with sharp blades suddenly burst out and rushed towards the prince's chariot. I saw that they were all extraordinary, and they fought with the prince's protectors.

Seeing an arrow shot crookedly, the assassin on the bell tower threw his bow and arrow fiercely, and just as he was about to look back, another flying stone hit the door, and he fell from the bell tower with a scream

Poor him, before he could see the true face of the man who shot the flying stone, he fell and fell into a pulp. Only Xie Huchen was left shaking a folding fan on the bell tower.

At this time, there were more and more Assassins besieging the prince's chariot, but they were never able to get close, because the masked man guarding the chariot was extremely martial arts, and there was almost no enemy under his sword.

One of the assassins was emaciated, with light steps, and the rest of the weight could be seen at a glance, this was Jin Luoyi.

How could she become an assassin and assassinate the prince?

But the situation at the scene could no longer afford to think about it, and he rushed forward with his sword, stabbed down the two assassins, and grabbed Jin Luoyi with one of them.

"Follow me!" After speaking, like an eagle catching a chicken, he jumped out of the crowd with Jin Luoyi, left the scene, walked quickly, and turned into an alley where no one was around.

"Luo Yi, do you know what you're doing?" asked Yu Zhong.

Jin Luoyi slowly pulled off his mask and said, "Brother Yu, you don't care about me, after doing this, I will no longer owe Chen Jing." ”

After she said this, she shook her hand and was about to turn back, but suddenly she felt a tingle all over her body, and she couldn't move.

It turned out that seeing her like this, Yu Zhong had no choice but to shoot and point at her acupoint. picked her up and brought her back to Tang Jian's Command Mansion.

The remaining assassins at the scene were gradually outnumbered, surrounded by the army arranged by Tang Jian, and seeing that they could not escape, they killed themselves with swords, leaving not a single living mouth.

"How's it going. Ji Yubing was not flustered, although it was so chaotic outside, she was still sitting firmly in the car.

"Back to the young master, fortunately, Lord Tang arranged it carefully, and the assassins saw that they could not escape, so they cut themselves one after another, and there was no way to live. The masked man replied outside the car.

"Let Tang Jian clean up the scene, and let's move on. Ji Yubing said lightly.

When Tang Jian saw that the arrow shot from the bell tower was still tied to the **, he was scared out of cold sweat, fortunately Xie Huchen thought of this accident in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this time, Yu Zhong had already returned to the Command Mansion with Jin Luoyi.

He gently placed Jin Luoyi on the bed and untied her acupoint.

However, Jin Luoyi didn't get up, just lay on the bed and wept silently.

"Brother Yu, why do you want to save me, you just let me die, it's okay to do it. Jin Luoyi sobbed.

"How could I watch you do something stupid and assassinate the crown prince, is this the task given to you by Chen Jing?" Yu looked at her with affection and asked.

"Yes, in fact, this is the real task of my visit to Hongchang Mansion this time, to kill the prince first, and then destroy the account books. Jin Luoyi saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell it out.

"Luo Yi, why are you so stupid, Chen Jing is just using you, if you are defeated and captured, it will only be considered as revenge for your father, and he will not be involved at all. Yu Zhong said.

"I know, but I have to do this, although my father is in the army, but his life and death are just a sentence from Taishi Chen. Jin Luoyi said helplessly.

"Hey......" Yu Zhong sighed, he knew Jin Luoyi's helplessness, but he also knew that things in the world were not as good as they should be, and before the righteousness of the country, the personal feelings of children should be put aside.

"Brother Yu, why are you on the scene. Jin Luoyi asked.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, in fact, from beginning to end, this matter is a bureau jointly arranged by Hun Chen and Tang Jian. Yu Zhong knew that the matter had come to this, there was no need to hide it, as soon as the reconciler entered the city, he was already under Tang Jian's control.
