Turbulent Times Chapter 1179: Unreasonable assassination
When there were more than a hundred steps away from the east gate of Luoyang City, the blood-maned horse neighed suddenly and stopped abruptly.
Almost at the same time, Wang Junlin suddenly heard the sound of some kind of heavy crossbow being pulled.
Wang Junlin's expression changed, and he let out a long howl. He casually grasped the divine bow on the side of the blood-maned horse, and shot an arrow at the fastest speed with the point caught in his eyes.
Whew...
Almost at the same time that Wang Junlin shot the arrow, everyone in the audience heard a piercing sound.
On the tower of the East City Gate, a huge crossbow arrow pierced through the air, and shot towards Wang Junlin with the sound of howling wind and thunder.
Bang!
Boom!
Under the eyes of everyone, the huge crossbow arrow comparable to a short spear collided with the special steel arrow shot by Wang Junlin, and an explosion occurred in midair.
The whole audience was startled by this miraculous scene. Zhang Tiangang led more than 400 special forces experts to protect Wang Junlin. The crossbow arrow shot an arrow in the direction it came from.
Almost at the same time as Wang Junlin raised his bow, a scream came from the tower, and then a corpse fell from the tower with an ordinary arrow stuck in it.
There was a dead silence in the audience, and then there was another scream.
"This is someone I know. He is the fake son of General Yuwen, named Yuwen Iron Leopard." Pei Yuanqing pointed at the corpse and shouted.
Pei Shiju gave Pei Yuanqing a hard look and winked him back.
Yu Wenshu's expression changed when he saw the corpse, and now when he heard what Pei Yuanqing said, his expression changed again.
Everyone looked at Yu Wenshu, who hurriedly said loudly: "This son was expelled by the old man a few months ago. I didn't want to become a thief in Goguryeo. He assassinated Qin Angong today. He really deserves to die."
Don't say that the civil and military officials and Xungui at the scene would not believe it, even the common people at the scene would not believe it, but so what, Yu Wenshu doesn't care about this, he just wants to make things look good That's all, and he wasn't worried that no one would help him lie.
Sure enough, Prince Yang Wei, whose face turned pale from the scene just now, coughed lightly, and then said loudly: "That's right
, this Palace of Yuwen Iron Leopard has also heard about it, and it was indeed expelled from the gate by General Yuwen a few months ago. Please don't misunderstand this person, and don't doubt that this person was ordered by General Yuwen to assassinate Qin Angong of. "
All the civil and military officials looked at the prince and were stunned. Then everyone quickly lowered their heads, or tightly controlled the changes in their faces.
Is the prince an idiot? Your dignified prince has heard of Yu Wenshu's lackey, and you also know that this lackey was kicked out of the gate by Yuwenshu a few months ago? Is this one of Tamar's lackeys of the Yuwen family famous?
Is this a lie to a three-year-old? Not to mention that the civil and military officials and nobles at the scene didn't believe it, and the common people wouldn't believe it either.
But at this moment, Wang Junlin's voice came from far away: "What His Royal Highness said is true, I will not doubt that General Yuwen ordered this person to assassinate me."
Everyone's expressions suddenly became strange, Wang Junlin's expression was calm, but almost everyone heard a hint of sarcasm.
Yu Wenshu and Yang Hao immediately sensed Wang Junlin's sarcasm from the changes in the expressions of the people next to him, but Yu Wenshu's expression was calm, showing an incomparably thick old face, but Yang Hao was much tenderer, His complexion became ugly.
At this time, as Wang Junlin approached, some timid people screamed again, and pointed at Wang Junlin and his horse team.
Wang Junlin didn't need to look back, he also knew what frightened the minds of the people.
Every soldier behind him immediately hung a string of human heads, and one could tell from the **** look that they had just been cut off not long ago.
And under the dozen or so horses, each is dragging a wooden plank. A dying blood man was tied to the door panel. The blood on these people had stopped, and the blood that flowed out earlier had also turned into a black color, painting their clothes and bodies together. What's even more frightening is that these two arms have been broken up to their shoulders, leaving only two **** mouths.
There are also two severed arms, which were randomly tied to the edge of the door with cloth strips.
This is exactly the dozen or so people who were captured alive in the future when the ambushes retreated. Individuals are motionless and may be dead, but others are clearly alive.
When Wang Junlin was thirty steps away from the city gate, he dismounted from his horse with his usual expression. The blood-stained snow-white fox fur coat was matched with the tragic situation of more than 3,000 heads and more than a dozen survivors behind him. It was bloody, but there was no murderous look on Wang Junlin's face, and even the smile on his face made the officials and nobles who came up feel like a spring breeze.
Rites and music, all officials salute! The prisoner presenting ceremony had its own set of procedures, and Wang Junlin cooperated with all the officials to return the gift.
The appearance of Wang Junlin in good condition made the crown prince Yang Hao very depressed. At this time, Wang Junlin accepted such a high honor calmly, and the faint smile and joy that always existed in Wang Junlin's expression made Yang Hao's expression change. He became more and more gloomy, and the corners of his eyes twitched wildly. Thinking of Wang Junlin's humiliation to him several times in the past, and the relationship between Wang Junlin and the emperor's eldest grandson, he wished to eat Wang Junlin now.
At this time, it was time for the prince to accept Wang Junlin's farewell on behalf of the emperor.
Wang Junlin walked forward with a calm expression, his legs slightly bent, and just as he was about to kneel down, the scene suddenly changed.
A guard on the left and right behind Yang Hao suddenly shot at Wang Junlin like a crossbow arrow. At some point, they had a black dagger in their hands.
The officials and common people on both sides were stunned for a moment, then screamed and ran in all directions. Accompanied by a group of civil and military officials shouting loudly to catch the assassin and protect someone.
The assassinations of these two people were so unexpected and sudden, but they all ended very quickly.
Although I didn't expect that under such circumstances, the other party would arrange for two assassins to choose to assassinate him without fear of death. kill him.
So, these two assassins rushed towards him suddenly, which surprised Wang Junlin.
In fact, unless the Sword God and the Spring and Autumn Envoy assassinate him at the same time, the assassination of these two people must not be successful, and they will definitely die.
Facing Wang Junlin and Zhang Tiangang and Luo Shixin behind him, even if the Sword God and the Spring and Autumn Messenger are assassinated at the same time, the three of them can persist for a few breaths, and this counting time is enough, let alone Wang Junlin. There are also more than 400 special forces experts, so many big bosses of the Sui Dynasty and the guards of civil and military officials present, and tens of thousands of soldiers who are ready to take over more than 10,000 Goguryeo prisoners.
