Chapter 33 The Assassination That Shocked Chang'an City!
Chapter 33 The assassination that shocked Chang’an City!
Seeing the tragic death of his good brother who had been with him for more than ten years, the bearded man yelled as if he was crazy.
"Set me an arrow!"
At this time, only a banging sound was heard.
I saw several servants being pierced through their bodies in an instant, and even their horses were nailed to the ground.
Xue Rengui quickly escorted Muchuan to the carriage, his face extremely gloomy.
Who are these guys? Can they mobilize heavy crossbows?
This crossbow is a commonly used weapon in the military. Who would have thought that these guys would use such a thing to assassinate Muchuan?
Although Muchuan didn't know what this heavy crossbow was, he could feel that this thing was definitely not something ordinary people could possess.
He was also thinking about it, who could mobilize such a thing?
I guess the identity is not simple?
After several rounds of heavy crossbow shooting, all the servants present had died tragically.
Only Mr. Zhao and Muchuan, who was guarded by Xue Rengui, were still alive.
And a group of killers in black were slowly walking towards the carriage.
Mr. Zhao raised his head and looked at Muchuan, and said quickly: "Brother Xue, my young master's comfort depends on you!"
Xue Rengui was obviously stunned after hearing what Mr. Zhao said.
Just when Mr. Zhao was about to rush out, he was suddenly grabbed by Muchuan.
Muchuan shook his head at Mr. Zhao, and then said in a cold voice: "Mr. Zhao, you can't die yet!"
Mr. Zhao watched these black-clothed killers getting closer and closer, and said anxiously: "Master, I have been in the Mu family for decades. I have watched you grow up. I will never be able to help you in this life."
We have no children and only you two are relatives, so let me go!"
Muchuan didn't waste any time and hurriedly picked up the long knife beside him.
Although he is a modern man and feels a little nauseous when smelling the blood around him, as a man, he will never take a step back!
A manly man with a broken head and a scar as big as a bowl.
Xue Rengui was very impressed after seeing Muchuan's appearance.
Immediately, he also held a long knife and was ready to fight!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came.
Then there was a burst of fighting sounds, which stopped after a long time.
"Mu Chuan, are you okay?"
After Cheng Yaojin took a look at the battlefield, his expression was extremely gloomy and ugly.
He was ordered to protect Muchuan, but he was late because he drank some wine last night.
If Muchuan died tragically because of this incident, I'm afraid he himself would not forgive himself.
However, Cheng Yaojin's face was ashen, these people were wearing hundred-refined armor, and the weapons in their hands were all from the military camp.
They can even mobilize heavy crossbows. Could it be someone from the military camp?
This is a big deal. I'm afraid the consequences of this assassination will not be small.
Chang'an City, where His Majesty is, something like this happened. If it is not handled well, people all over the world may be panicked.
"Is this General Cheng outside?"
After a long time, Muchuan finally shouted with a heartbroken voice.
After hearing Muchuan's words, Cheng Yaojin jumped off his horse with excitement on his face.
He quickly led his soldiers to the carriage.
After looking at Muchuan up and down, he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that except for a trace of blood, there were no wounds on his body.
"call!"
Cheng Yaojin said excitedly to Muchuan in front of him: "Boy Muchuan, it's great that you're okay!"
After finishing speaking, he excitedly patted Muchuan on the shoulder.
Muchuan grinned in pain, this guy's hand is still so strong.
"Boy Mu, what on earth is going on?"
Cheng Yaojin quickly asked Muchuan.
And Muchuan didn't hesitate at all, and quickly opened his mouth to answer Cheng Yaojin.
After a long time, he finally figured out what was going on.
Judging from Muchuan's words, these killers may have had plans for a long time. Could the general who had a drink with him yesterday have something to do with this matter?
After thinking of this, even Cheng Yaojin, a stubborn guy, felt something was wrong.
He felt that this matter might not be that simple, and there must be a big shot helping behind the scenes.
He immediately sent scouts into the palace to report the incident to Li Shimin.
Then Cheng Yaojin arrested all the injured and surviving killers.
In the palace, Li Shimin had just received Chai Shao's reward.
Thanks to the disaster relief funds of nearly 100,000 taels, the disaster situation in the north has been brought under control, and the victims have begun to recover.
However, this recovery still needs a lot of silver support.
After Li Shimin saw the report, his face was filled with excitement.
This little guy Muchuan can easily solve the money matter, so he doesn't have to worry at all.
"Xuanling, this disaster has made me understand a lot!"
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling nodded quickly to express her approval.
This disaster also made him understand that he originally thought he could control the people's livelihood of the entire Tang Dynasty, but now it seems that he is self-righteous.
He didn't know until the disaster victims had developed to such an extent.
And if Chai Shao hadn't personally gone to the scene to check on the victims, he might have been kept in the dark.
After thinking of this, Fang Xuanling looked very ashamed.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
At this moment, Wang De suddenly walked in in a hurry.
After looking at Wang De's appearance, Li Shimin was obviously stunned, and then he scolded him in a cold voice: "What do you look like in a panic?"
After hearing Li Shimin's scolding, Wang De fell to his knees and quickly explained to himself: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. General Cheng just sent news that Muchuan, the new champion, was assassinated on his way to pay homage to his ancestors!"
After Li Shimin heard Wang De's report, he stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief.
"What did you say? Muchuan was assassinated?"
Li Shimin really couldn't figure it out. Who is this person who is so heartless? How dare he openly assassinate the current number one scholar outside Chang'an City?
"Your Majesty, according to the news from General Cheng, Mr. Mu is not seriously injured, but these killers are wearing hundred-refined armor and have mobilized heavy military equipment such as siege crossbows..."
After Wang De finished speaking, some of them cautiously raised their heads and glanced at Li Shimin.
Sure enough, after hearing that military equipment had been mobilized, Li Shimin slammed the tea cup in front of him to the ground, and his whole body began to tremble with anger.
He ascended to the throne by relying on the Xuanwumen Mutiny, so the control of military camps was unprecedentedly strict.
Unexpectedly, a group of assassins could use this kind of military heavy crossbow to assassinate Muchuan. Will anyone surround the imperial city in the future?
After thinking of this, Li Shimin jumped up as if someone had stepped on his tail, and he was furious.
"Xuan Ling, notify me immediately that Yuchi Jingde has entered the palace!"
After hearing what Li Shimin said, Fang Xuanling also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she nodded without any nonsense.
"Wang De, show off immediately, I want to see Cheng Yaojin in person!"
Wang De nodded quickly and hurried down to get ready.
An hour later, Muchuan had followed Cheng Yaojin back to Chang'an City.
As soon as he entered Chang'an City, Muchuan saw Long Jia coming towards him.
Cheng Yaojin smiled bitterly and shook his head, then faced him bravely.
"The guilty minister Cheng Yaojin, please see your Majesty!"
Li Shimin glared fiercely at the Tiehanhan in front of him, and he snorted angrily, as if to say, I'll take care of you when I get back.
Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to say any nonsense, he just nodded and laughed.
After all, this incident almost killed Muchuan because of his greed for alcohol.
