Liu Ling couldn't invent a gun. Even if he knew all the technical processes, he couldn't make a gun in this era. The firearm he used to kill Li Yanfu was very crude. But he knew how to prepare gunpowder and use it.
The explosive power of gunpowder blasts away iron nails, which is much simpler than making a pistol.
Li Yanfu died, and Liu Ling's hand was torn open by the recoil caused by the gunpowder explosion. Blood flowed down his hand and dripped down.
A red and festive wedding, decorated with blood.
Just the day before Liu Ling's wedding was assassinated, Yelu Deguang, the second prince of the Liao Kingdom who was far away in Beijing, lost a pot of feather arrows. Although this incident aroused Yelu Deguang's vigilance, after all, a pot of arrows counts.
There was nothing valuable, and after checking the people below, no clues were found, so Yelu Deguang didn't take it to heart. He was really not sure whether he dropped it on the way while hunting, or whether it was stolen after he came back.
Yelu Deguang was proficient in martial arts, but Yelu Xiong led his army to start a war with Xixia and left him in Shangjing. When the restless second prince had nothing to do, he always liked to take three or five guards to the wilderness to hunt. Whether he hunted animals or not did not matter.
Importantly, what he likes is the feeling of galloping. It is not a big deal to throw away a pot of arrows after returning from hunting.
What Yelu Deguang didn't expect was that seven days later, the flask of feather arrows he threw would appear in Youzhou. Moreover, one of them was stuck in the back of his elder brother Yelu Ji.
Yeluji was assassinated. Fortunately, he had the habit of piercing soft armor. Although the arrow was very powerful, it was blocked by the soft armor and then penetrated the flesh. It did not penetrate very deep. There was a lot of blood and the wound was not small. However, it could not be dealt with.
He will recover soon afterward. The injury on his back is not serious, but the injury on his heart is more serious.
He knows this kind of arrow.
This is the standard arrow equipped by the archers of the Daliao Palace Army. There are millions of such feather arrows in the armory of the Youzhou Palace Army. Yeluji also used such feather arrows, although his arrows
Fa is not as good as his second brother Yelu Deguang, but he still has no problem hitting seven out of ten shots at a distance of fifty meters.
There is no problem with the arrows. The question is who has the courage to assassinate His Majesty the future emperor of the Daliao Kingdom, and the arrows used by the Daliao Palace Army are still there. The management system of the Palace Army is quite strict. In the armory,
The number of arrows taken out of the warehouse every day is recorded. Who takes it out and how many are taken out are clear at a glance. Even the arrows used for daily training by archers and cavalry are all recorded. How much is consumed and how much is returned.
, all have dedicated personnel to count them.
Yeluji believed that no one in Youzhou had such courage. He sent someone to check the records of the armory. Today, the archers and cavalry trained a total of 13,000 feathered arrows. In addition to the damaged arrows, the ordnance was returned.
There are 12,786 weapons in the inventory, and there is no error in the number. In other words, the dozens of feather arrows fired at him by the dozen assassins definitely did not come from Youzhou's armory.
Except for Youzhou, all the soldiers stationed everywhere are state soldiers, and the feather arrows they are equipped with are obviously different from those used by the palace army. Within a thousand miles, only Youzhou is stationed with 80,000 palace troops.
Where did this arrow come from?
Yeluji played with the broken arrow in his hand and looked at the word engraved on the arrow tail.
superior
Of course Yeluji knew what this word meant, Shangjing, yes, this arrow came from the palace army in Shangjing. The reason why he asked people to search the armory in Youzhou was because he was afraid that someone would steal the arrows and carve them on Yujian Mountain.
The word "上" is engraved on the feather arrows of Youzhou Palace's army. "Nan" is engraved on it.
What does the feather arrows equipped by the imperial army from Shangjing mean?
Yeluji violently broke the feather arrow in his hand again and threw it to the ground. Because the force involved the wound, the pain made his face become more ferocious. It is not that Yeluji has never been assassinated. He has been assassinated since he was eleven years old.
From the beginning to now, he has been assassinated at least nine times, but every time he was able to turn danger into disaster. Only this time, he was completely angry. The anger burned his mind and burned out his murderous intention.
He suddenly swept everything on the desk to the ground. Wine glasses, memorials, and letters all fell to the ground, making a mess, just like his state of mind at this time.
A memorial fell to the ground and was opened. The date on it was half a month ago. This was a memorial transferred from Shangjing. It was presented by Emperor Liu Zhuo of Han Dynasty to Emperor Yelu Xiongji of Liao Dynasty. It was far away in Xixia
Yelvxiongji received ten rockets from the Han envoy, as well as such a memorial.
The general idea of the memorial was that the Northern Han Dynasty was really unable to send troops and asked His Majesty the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty for forgiveness. However, the Han Dynasty was a vassal state of the Liao Dynasty and should contribute to the Liao Dynasty. In addition to the ten rockets used on the battlefield,
Emperor Liu Zhuo of the Han Dynasty was willing to dedicate Datong Mansion to the Liao Kingdom as a military stronghold to contain Xixia.
This memorial was followed by instructions from Ye Luxiongji and was sent to Beijing and Youzhou for circulation to the two princes.
Yelu Ji stared at the memorial, his eyes gradually turning blood red. Why was it sent to Beijing? His younger brother Yelu Deguang has not yet received a substantial title, so why should he see this memorial before himself? His father did this.
What does it mean? Is he planning to change Yelu Deguang to the crown prince? What ability does a sixteen-year-old boy have to stay in Beijing? What qualifications does he have to see the memorial issued by his father first?
My father has decided to establish Datong Mansion as Xijing, the fifth capital of the Liao Kingdom. Xijing's strategic location is very important, and he will definitely send important ministers to guard it in the future. He has been guarding Nanjing for many years, and his understanding of the Han people is far better than others.
People. Xijing will inevitably be heavily garrisoned in the future, and he will be the best choice to command hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanjing and Xijing. At this critical moment, someone just came out to assassinate him. What is his plan?
The more Yeluji thought about it, the more he hated it, but his thoughts became clearer and clearer.
Yelu Deguang has always wanted to lead an army alone, but his father has always used the excuse that Yelu Deguang is still young. Now that guy is sixteen years old, and because of his personal bravery, he is quite prestigious in the army. If he and his father
If you beg, it is impossible to say that the position left behind in Xijing is his. But there is a prerequisite, that is, his father will definitely ask for his opinion. If he is willing to command the soldiers and horses in Xijing, it will definitely not be Yelu Deguang's turn to intervene in military affairs!
His father was very clear about Yelu Deguang's desire to replace him. As the eldest son and the most outstanding son, he would definitely inherit the throne in the future. Yelu Deguang was too ambitious, so his father kept suppressing him.
He was not allowed to be involved in military affairs. Originally, because of his father's care, he had never regarded Yelu Deguang as a rival, but this time after his father went to Xixia, he actually asked Yelu Deguang to stay in Beijing! This is a signal that a father wants to reuse Yelu Deguang.
Deguang's signal!
Maybe you are too disappointed?
No! That guy must have deceived his father into trusting him with his sweet words! In addition, Xiao Shanchen, the prime minister of the Beifu, has always supported Yelu Deguang. This time his father personally conquered Xixia, and Xiao Shanchen was with his father. As time goes by, his father will inevitably be affected by Xiao Shanchen.
Influence! I have not been in Shangjing all these years. Will Brother Yue Yue still support me as before? When Yelu Deguang is in Shangjing, has he not tried to win over Yue Yue, who can influence his father's decision-making?
The more he thought about it, the colder he felt on Yeluji's back, until it reached his heart.
If the descendants represented by Xiao Shanchen and the royal family represented by Yueyue Yelv Moge all sided with Yelu Deguang, what chance did he have of inheriting the throne?
While his father was far away in Xixia, Yelu Deguang sent people to assassinate him in order to get a stay in Xijing. Then Yelu Deguang could legitimately hold a stay in Nanjing and control hundreds of thousands of troops.
There are people who keep saying good things for him, and the throne belongs to him!
Yelu Deguang! You are so cruel. Don’t you have any brotherly feelings in your heart?
Yeluji gritted his teeth and thought, clenching his fists tightly.
Okay! If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Since you want to kill me, I won't let you live in peace. Isn't there a saying among the Han people? My good brother, don't be disrespectful when you come back!
After the news of Liu Ling's assassination on his wedding day came out, the whole Taiyuan Mansion was in a state of shock. The people were talking a lot, wondering who was so vicious that he killed King Zhong on his happy day?
Later, news came out that many of the guests attending the ceremony at Prince Zhong's Mansion that day were accidentally injured. The envoy sent by King Yeluji of the Southern Palace of Daliao was stabbed in the chest by an assassin and was in critical condition. His Majesty the Emperor sent the imperial doctor to the hospital.
They were all sent to treat the envoy's injuries. It is said that the guards brought by the envoy were all killed. If the loyal guards had not saved them desperately, the envoy would not have received only one knife.
The common people were speculating, who had such hatred for King Zhong and the Khitan people? Not only did they want to take advantage of King Zhong’s wedding day to turn the wedding into a funeral, but they also wanted to kill all the Khitan envoys? Soon,
Some smart people speculated that it must be the remnants of the White Lotus Sect who did it. Only they would hate both the Khitans and Liu Ling to the core!
Immediately afterwards, news came out from Prince Zhong's palace that the person who assassinated Liu Ling that day was the remnant of the White Lotus Sect, and the leader was the saint Luan Ying of the White Lotus Sect who escaped last time. Therefore, the smart person who guessed the answer
Smiling, his prestige among the neighbors quickly increased.
"You're even hurt and you still laugh!"
Lu Yuzhu held Liu Ling's hand, changed his dressing, and then bandaged it carefully, her eyes were red.
Although her big day was ruined by an assassin, she was now the princess that Liu Lingming was marrying. Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result was exactly what she had been looking forward to for a long, long time.
Liu Ling patted the back of Lu Yuzhu's delicate hand and said with a smile: "It's just a small injury, it doesn't matter."
"She shed so much blood and she said it's not a problem."
Lu Yuzhu put Liu Ling's injured hand against her cheek, as if she wanted to use her body temperature to heal her husband's injury. Liu Ling raised her other hand to help her smooth the messy hair on her forehead, and said with a chuckle
: "Of course it's not a problem, it's just a skin injury. It won't delay anything."
He looked at Lu Yuzhu's charming face and smiled more and more evilly: "If you don't believe it, I will prove it to you."
"I know that the prince is in good health, but the prince still needs to take a good rest."
"Don't be in a hurry to recuperate, let's take care of the urgent things first."
Lu Yuzhu raised her head and suddenly asked with big eyes: "Didn't His Majesty specifically decree that the prince should rest at home for a few days? Is there anything else that is urgent to do?"
Liu Ling said hehe, "I'm anxious. I'm anxious to make up for the bridal chamber..."
