Chapter 490: Hit the Arrow
Xing Tian was in the middle of a large pile of cages, he was very nervous and excited. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The cages were piled up in piles, and there were sheds on the top, and then on the periphery, according to the topography, the officers and soldiers watching the performance sat on the high sand slope, with wolfskin mattresses under them, and roasted sheep and beef on the low tables, but the daily diet of these Congrong people was mainly meat. But they are not very interested in meat, and they value wine as a treasure. Not long after the performance began, there were stacks of wine jars next to the low table.
Xing Tian not only had to create a seemingly accidental misfire and cause a small chaos, but he was also responsible for making the arrows from the three crossbows in front of him accurately hit Timur.
In a tent not far away, three rows of samurai sat quietly, forming a circle around an oil lamp in the middle.
The windows were covered with black cloth to prevent the light from escaping, and the dim light shone on them, all dressed in bright red robes, with a scimitar on their knees. Anyone who has lived near this barracks for three days knows that the soldiers in red, yellow, blue, white, and ink robes are Timur the Great's bodyguards. According to the Han people of the Central Plains, it is the ---- Imperial Forest Army.
But did Timur's Imperial Guards need to hide so secretly, so secretly?
On a table in the shadow of the lamp, a pass token was placed.
This is the samurai of Tuzuo's private storage, and the leader speaks in a lowered voice: "Originally, we all came with the intention of death, and if they fail, we will be responsible for desperately trying to rescue them." However, the means they adopted were to penetrate deep into the camp of the Chinese army. In this way, if we fail, we will all die, and we will not be able to save him.
There was no time to ask His Highness, so we made a little fuss about the plan. If they are able to kill the target, they can exit unharmed. We disguised ourselves as guards and left with them, and after leaving...... Hmph, and then make them disappear forever!"
The party was about to enter the climax, Xing Tian shook the fire fold twice, and then blew hard, the flame burst out, Xing Tian immediately stuffed the fire fold under the felt cloth, where he had already stuffed a ball of oil-soaked rags, as soon as the fire ignited, he quickly put down the felt cloth and walked quickly to the side.
His heart was pounding, the fire was burning, and these cages were filled with all kinds of easy and simple props, clothes, and miscellaneous items that were not needed for tonight's performance, all of which were flammable, probably because of the felt cloth cover, the fire was not big, but the smoke was not small, and the billowing smoke drifted down the wind to the stands.
Someone exclaimed: "It's on fire, it's on fire!"
The fire was particularly obvious in the night, and several people who were guarding the cage hurriedly ran over, and someone lifted the felt cloth that was on fire, and when they breathed on the ground, the flames rose into the air, and the fire spread rapidly by the wind.
"Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire, what's the fire?"
"It must have been the bonfire lit by those soldiers on the sand slope, and the sparks fell!"
While everyone was busy fighting the fire, some clever people had already begun to shirk their responsibilities.
Xing Tian also ran over in a panic, busy fighting the fire like others, the soldiers on this sandy slope saw that there was a fire below, but they did not rush down to put out the fire, the left and right were just some circus cages, there were no other combustible materials around, it would not cause an uncontrollable fire, there was no order from the general, they only thought that a bigger bonfire was lit here, who would care?
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three sounds suddenly came from the roof of the shed erected above the cage, but the sound was not loud, and the flames blown by the wind after the fire were burned, and the scene was noisy, so no one noticed it at all, but it immediately caused a sensation in the stands.
The fire here had already been noticed by the people in the stands, but even if it was burned out here, it would not have any effect on the rest of the place, and the atmosphere was very joyous tonight, and Timur was in a particularly good mood, he only glanced at it, frowned in displeasure, but did not give any instructions, so there was only a pause on the stage, and then the performance resumed.
When the smoke filled the stands and caused a coughing sound, Timur felt a little disappointed, frowned and ordered: "Call the soldiers on that side to help, quickly put out the fire, don't disturb everyone's interest!"
As soon as his words fell, a man stood up beside him, ready to convey the order of the Great Khan, when a servant who had walked by in the aisle carrying a scorching fragrant beef suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and the plate flew out of his hand, smashing a plate of steaming roast beef into the face of a general.
"Damn, you don't have long eyes!"
The general was so hot that he screamed in anger, but he only cursed and exclaimed: "Assassins!"
At first, he thought that the servant was only looking at the fire under the side stands, and had stumbled and fell, but when he looked around, he saw that the fallen servant had a finger-thick arrow shaft exposed under his ribs, and the man was still not dying, and was groaning in pain, and he did not know that this man had been hit by a cold arrow, so he immediately cried out.
Almost at the same time, when Timur turned to look at the servant, because of the shift position, a cold arrow hit his left shoulder, the arrow feathers were still buzzing and trembling, and a trace of blood was oozing from his left shoulder.
The guards next to him saw that there was a chaotic sound of armor in a hula, and more than a dozen well-trained warriors in armor pounced suddenly, holding shields and swords, protecting Timur's group in the middle, and several large shields blocked the wind and rain in all directions, while shouting: "The Great Khan has been hit by an arrow, there are assassins! There are assassins! Protect the Great Khan!"
The two tall and powerful warriors in the middle set up Timur and had just moved out of their seats, when there was a loud sound, and three large shields protected his head, and he quickly moved to the side like a moving fortress.
There was a commotion in the stands, everyone bowed down to avoid the cold arrows, and some of the brave ones stood up with their knives drawn, looking around for the enemy's traces, at this time the soldiers on the sandy slopes on both sides only saw the chaos in the stands, and they didn't know what was going on, some people stood up and stretched their necks to look here, and some drunken soldiers, holding the wine jar and still talking and laughing and drinking, did not pay attention to the changes that occurred around them and in the stands.
Xing Tian held a broken felt towel and pretended to put out the fire, but he was really fanning the wind, delaying the speed of others' rescue, the corner of his eyes has been watching the movement in the stands, at this time he suddenly saw a commotion in the stands, the civil and military officials rushed to the wolves, chaotic, at this time heard Timur was hit by an arrow, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart: "Is it successful?"
Timur was already old, and one leg was lame, and he moved slowly, but the guards were worried that he would be attacked again, and dragged him to move quickly, the aisle was already narrow, and there were tables and chairs, and there were wine jars on the ground, Timur was protected by two tall guards, and the two rows of shield-wielding warriors on the left and right and in front and back formed a moving fortress, escorting him all the way to retreat quickly, barely touching the ground, Timur's knees bumped on the wine jar at the corner of the table and stool, and bruised in several places, so it was not painful.
How many times had Timur been so embarrassed in his life? Especially when he was dragged to the wide aisle of the side seats, the anger of the hidden finally broke out, he stood suddenly, struggled hard, and roared: "Block the news, arrest the assassin to see me......!"
Timur pushed away the two guards in front of him, glanced coldly at the place where the fire started, looked at the chaotic stands, and said angrily: "An assassin will scare the three armies? This matter is not to be publicized, and everyone in the place where the fire was caught is brought under control and immediately interrogated!"
"Don't move!"
As soon as the men extinguished the fire, a group of guards in red armor swarmed and surrounded them, and one of the soldiers on the sand slope laughed with a big tongue and sneered: "Look, these poor fellows, who could have been generously rewarded by the Great Khan, have been disturbed by the fire, and now they will have to suffer." ”
A captain of the guard ordered with a calm face: "Take these people away!"
At the same time, a team of guards in yellow robes rushed to the stage, and today's head of the class, Amam, was nervous, but received an order to continue the performance, Amai was surprised and delighted, and was surprised that all the people guarding the cage were taken away, and he didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive if the fire incident angered the Great Khan, and the joy was that since the Great Khan ordered to continue the performance, the result would not be too bad.
He hurriedly called down the clown who was standing on the stage stupidly, sent an animal trainer up, and instructed repeatedly: "Sell some strength and make Dahan happy, otherwise, don't say that there is no hope for the reward, maybe you will have to suffer some hardships, go quickly, everyone listen, sell some strength after going on stage!" The animal trainer hurriedly carried the parrot on his back and led a goat to the stage.
The clown, who had painted oil paint, stepped off the stage, picked the red ball on his nose, and grumbled: "Yamai, how did you do it." Why is there a fire in the cage? It was originally a good performance, but I'm afraid that tonight it will be in vain!"
Amai smiled bitterly: "Do you think I came up with such an accident? I don't know why the good guy caught fire, it seems that the Great Khan is very angry, all of us here are now watched by the soldiers, let's put on a good show, let's sell more strength, maybe the Great Khan will be happy." will no longer care about our mistakes. ”
The clown was the owner of another circus troupe, and when he heard what Amai said, he muttered two sentences unhappily, looked around, and asked, "What about Wei Yan? Let's join forces with my two Ross girls for a glamorous dance, and I hope the Great Khan will like it. ”
Yamai said helplessly: "Wei Yan, tonight's performance is less than halfway through, he suddenly had an epilepsy, and his people took care of him and went out to seek medical treatment." ”
"Oh my God, it's not going well tonight!"
