People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 333 Crossbow Arrow Long Lance, Iron Wooden Cage

"Dong dong dong..." There was a heavy sound of evening drums, startling a group of birds.

In the originally calm courtyard of the house facing the street, the two people who had been hiding in the corner stood up suddenly, their faces full of astonishment.

Both of them were wearing short gray robes. They were of medium stature and male. They looked very ordinary at first, but under this shock, their temperaments suddenly changed.

The sharpness and blood in the eyes were no longer concealed, the breath twitched involuntarily and quickly, the left and right hands dropped at the same time, and the two sword hilts appeared in their respective hands at the same time.

"There was an accident, Broken Palm." The tall and thin man raised his head, looked at the darkened sky above his head, and said softly, "The curfew has been brought forward."

"It's a quarter of an hour earlier!" Duanzhang's expression was extremely solemn, he stared at his companion and asked: "Kiss, do you want to continue with the plan?"

"Do we have to refuse?" Qie Ming shook his head in embarrassment, and said quietly: "Fang Yunxiu's order is clear to you, either we take the head of King Nanchang back, or we take our own head back."

Severing palms, severing lives, the two major killers of Tianyin Sect.

In the early years, he practiced in Wusheng Dao, and then returned to the main altar. Two months ago, he assassinated the assassin Wang Fanglin.

Shi Li'an, governor of Wu Prefecture, died on the spot, and the governor Wang Fanglin and Sima Qinming escaped by luck.

Even without Li Xuan, Wang Fanglin would end up dead in the near future.

"But something has changed, and our plan must also be changed." Duanzhang stared at Qie Ming firmly.

For such a major event as the assassination of the King of Nanchang, there can be no accidents.

Once there is an accident, it is very likely that it will mean that the two of them will die here as well.

Qie Ming leaned back slightly, as if he was listening carefully to the voices on the street outside, and also seemed to be talking to himself: "Today's opponent is very difficult..."

"What do you mean?" Duanzhang asked casually.

"I'm studying our opponent's actions and responses. The early curfew has already shown that he is alert."

Qie Ming sighed softly, and asked: "You know the medicine king Wei Xuanzang, have you seen it?"

Duanzhang shook his head and said, "No, but I've heard that he was a ruthless guy, just like Sun Simiao. I don't know how many fellow practitioners died at his hands."

Wei Xuanzang and Sun Simiao were both Taoist priests, and they were also famous doctors in the world, but countless heretics died at their hands.

Qiming nodded and said, "Nanchang King is the direct disciple of Medicine King Wei Xuanzang."

Duanzhang frowned: "This is really troublesome!"

"Yes." Qie Ming sighed, bloodshot eyes: "I can feel that our Wuzhou hall master is a little anxious."

"In a hurry?" Duanzhang didn't react, and the topic of life-threatening turned too quickly.

"When encountering a difficult opponent, who doesn't panic, not to mention such opponents, one after another, always unbroken, and each one is stronger than the other." Qie Ming's face completely darkened.

Qie Ming himself did not agree with this assassination. The fake assassination at the gate of the city had already clearly indicated that the King of Nanchang had his eye on them.
In this way, when the opponent is on full alert, it is very difficult to do it, but now something unexpected happened.

Stretching out his hand to suppress the throbbing in his heart, he desperately said with a solemn expression: "I assassinated Wang Fanglin at the beginning, although I couldn't kill him, but I bought two months for the church, but now this Nanchang Wang Gang has transferred Come on, in just two days, half of our two-month layout will be destroyed, and if it continues, who knows what will happen, no wonder he is in a hurry, but people are prone to make mistakes when they are in a hurry."

Duanzhang shook his head indifferently, and said, "Kill Nanchang King, and all impatience will disappear."

"That's right, if you kill the King of Nanchang, you must kill the King of Nanchang."

Ke Ming's face turned cold in an instant, and suddenly, his face changed, he looked behind the eaves, and said softly: "They are here!"

……

On the empty street, a group of people slowly approached from a distance.

The first one was Cao Canjun Yantao, a Wuzhou soldier, followed by a group of elite soldiers wearing fish scale armor and holding long spears.

Everyone had serious faces, sharp eyes, and looked around with great vigilance.

Behind them, there is a team of red-clothed and golden-armored Qianniu guards, holding the reins in one hand and the Qianniu knife handle in the other.

His vigilant eyes crossed the long street and stared closely at the watchtower in the distance.

The whole street is under the watchful eye of the watchtower, and any disturbance can't hide from the lookout of the watchtower.

Today, although the curfew was brought forward, none of Li Xuan's subordinates relaxed their vigilance.

In the center of Qianniuwei, there is a black carriage, followed by a group of Qianniuwei, and behind it is another group of soldiers.

The speed of the car dealership is not fast, and it does not need to be fast.

Because turning two street corners ahead is their destination today, Bayong Tower.

In the darkness, a pair of sharp eyes stared at the black carriage guarded in the center.

Breathing has been almost completely lost in the silence.

Just as the carriage turned a corner, a huge blue cloth suddenly flew out from behind the houses on the street.

In a blink of an eye, it flew over the black carriage.

Before everyone could react, the huge blue cloth suddenly fell, and it was directly covered on the black carriage in a blink of an eye.

Two gray figures appeared faintly on the blue cloth, and at the same time there was a cold blade light.

Yan Tao, who was the first to see this scene clearly, immediately couldn't help shouting: "There are assassins, there are assassins, there are assassins!"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Tao jumped up and rushed towards the black carriage, but by this time, it was already too late.

In mid-air, Yan Tao saw two pairs of proud and sneering eyes standing on the carriage.

Four extremely sharp daggers pierced fiercely into the carriage at the same time.

Then, I heard a "boom".

The roof of the black carriage collapsed suddenly, and the blue silk cloth flickered, and two pairs of stunned eyes could be clearly seen.

In an instant, the two figures fell directly into the carriage.

"Quack!" The voice sounded like lightning.

Between the sound of the mechanism, the iron and wood moved, and a steel cage that had been prepared a long time ago appeared in everyone's sight.

"Damn it, it's a trap!" Halfhand's angry voice came from the carriage.

At this moment, Yan Tao's figure floated to the ground.

Glancing at the carriage in front of him, Yan Tao waved his hand forward without any hesitation, and a ruthless voice came out: "Bowmen, shoot!"

The surrounding Qianniuwei, Fubing, and soldiers took out all the crossbows hidden on their bodies at once.

Aim at the carriage and pull the trigger all at once.

In an instant, a rain of arrows came directly towards the carriage like a dark cloud.

"Bang bang bang!" The crossbow bolts directly tore through the thin car body, then slammed into the steel fence, and fell directly to the ground.

But more crossbow arrows have passed through the fence and penetrated fiercely into the steel cage.

Waves of sword waterfalls flashed non-stop in the cage, and countless crossbow arrows were quickly stopped.

The faces of Duanzhang and Qianming were already extremely embarrassing, but at this moment they didn't have time to think about it.

The steel cage above the head and under the feet cannot be broken in a short time, but the rain of arrows in front of him can really kill people immediately.

No matter how powerful the two of them are, their bodies are nothing but mortal bodies with naked eyes.

Countless crossbow arrows piled up and shot into a sieve, and they still died.

The strength of Duanzhang and Qiming is extremely high, and they are also first-class in the entire Wuzhou Hall.

However, no matter how strong the strength is, being sealed in this small area, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions.

"Ugh!" Halfhand suddenly groaned in pain.

Qie Ming glanced out of the corner of his eye, and immediately saw a crossbow bolt firmly nailed to Duanzhang's foot.

Under the severe pain, Broken Palm's sword path immediately had problems.

"Puff puff!"

Immediately, more crossbow arrows passed through Broken Palm's sword screen and shot directly at him...

Ke Ming firmly leaned against the back of Broken Palm, waving the two short swords in his hands non-stop, and paid attention to his feet as well.

He could feel that the body of Duanzhang behind him had gradually cooled down.

It was Qieming who supported it with his own body, so the Duanzhang didn't slip off.

And the body of Broken Palm also became a life-threatening human shield, blocking the crossbow arrows that kept shooting from behind him.

Suddenly, the crossbow arrows disappeared in midair, and Qie Ming let out a sigh of relief.

He knew that this round of crossbow bolts had been shot empty, and the archer was replacing the receiver, which was his only chance of escape...

The thoughts in Qie Ming's mind hadn't fully arisen, at this moment, more than a dozen extremely sharp long spears had already stabbed at him fiercely from all directions.

"Ding ding ding" amidst countless metal clashes, there was a "squeak", and a long spear pierced Ke Ming's lower abdomen directly from behind.

Severe pain came from the abdomen in an instant, and only one thought flashed in Qianming's mind: "It's over, the shield is gone."

"呲啦" Amidst several penetrating sounds, several long spears pierced through Ke Ming's body in an instant, and countless blood gushed out immediately.

Seeing this scene, Yan Tao was finally relieved.

He waved his hand back, and Changlong pulled away instantly.

"He just put it in the car and was ordered to parade through the streets." Yan Tao turned around, looked at Qian Niuwei, and said in a low voice, "Send a message to the prince immediately, and he has already taken it."

"Here!" A Qianniuwei in red and gold armor didn't hesitate at all, immediately grabbed the horse's belly, and rushed forward.

The fast horse galloped wildly, and the direction he was heading was surprisingly the Bayong Tower.

The two places are not far away, only a moment later, Qianniuwei has arrived at Bayong Tower.

Outside the Bayong Building at this moment, several carriages were parked beside the road, and a dozen grooms and guards were waiting there quietly.

At the railing on the third floor of Bayong Building, a figure was calmly looking at everything outside.

This man, wearing a black gold silk robe, has a stern face.

It was Li Xuan.

He actually came to Bayong Tower one step ahead of schedule, but the killer of Tianyin Sect didn't notice it at all.

……

Inside the Bayong Building, the guests are arranged in two rows.

The party is Zhang Yi who joined the army as a recorder, Yu Ze, Wang Bo, Feng Hua, Tang Jun and other state government officials.

The party is a Wuzhou aristocratic family represented by Shen Tuo, Teng Yu, and Qian Zhe.

The only thing missing here is Yang Yan from the Yang family, and now Fang Yunxiu is hiding in the Yang family.

Looking at the note in his hand, Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Things were easier than expected, thanks to Fang Yunxiu sending Ye Wanwan into his hands.

As soon as the two news from different channels were verified, Fang Yunxiu immediately got into Li Xuan's trap.

The two assassins who assassinated Wang Fanglin back then were all dead by his hands.
