Three hundred and ninetieth chapters plain medicine basket
"Your Majesty, it's been a hard journey, let's go back." Fang Zhe persuaded Song Yang to return to the city.
pier.
Song Yang gave a brief speech just now, thanked the people for welcoming him, and was about to return to the city.
"Let's go back to the city, folks." Song Yang waved and wanted to take the people back.
As I was walking down the steps to the pier, I suddenly felt like I was being stared at by something dangerous.
At this time, the very back of the crowd.
A dark-faced man took advantage of the crowd to follow Song Yang and suddenly took out a small crossbow from his back.
The arrowheads of the crossbows were shiny black and had a faint green light, which looked like they were coated with poison.
"Collapse!" A bowstring exploded, and the people around were shocked.
"Assassin! Assassin!"
"My lord, be careful! There is an assassin!"
"Protect the prince!"
The people shouted loudly.
But at this time, the arrow had been shot, and the assassin grinned.
"King Xin. My mission is completed!"
The crossbow arrow was fired, and the assassin did not think that Song Yang could be safe. The distance was too close and there was no time to react.
"Whoosh!"
The crossbow arrows flew so fast that the guards around Song Yang did not have time to react.
Only Gongsun Qi stepped forward and at the same time drew out the steel knife in his hand to block the crossbow arrows.
But as soon as he took a step forward, he saw a medicine basket shot towards him.
"Wow!"
The medicine basket arrived first and hit the crossbow arrow, causing it to fall to the ground and scattering medicinal materials all over the ground.
Song Yang witnessed all this with his own eyes and looked at where the medicine basket came from.
An old Taoist looked at Song Yang calmly.
"Taoist Master, what a skill!" Song Yang praised.
That crossbow arrow was no threat to him at all.
With Song Yang's reaction speed, he sensed the danger and immediately discovered the incoming crossbow arrow.
He even planned to push Gongsun Qi aside and block the crossbow arrows himself.
But before he could take action, he saw an old Taoist throw out a medicine basket.
"Master!"
When Gongsun Qi saw Taoist Pingzhen take action, he immediately showed joy and couldn't help shouting.
"Master? It turns out he is Gongsun Qi's master. No wonder he is so skilled!"
Gongsun Qi is the second master in Jiangzhou, so his master must be extraordinary.
Fang Zhe and Ma Cheng also realized that the Taoist priest was a big master.
Gongsun Qi looked at Lao Dao, but Lao Dao looked at the assassin.
Gongsun Qi reacted immediately and pounced directly on the assassin. In fact, the assassin didn't even want to run away.
Assassinate Song Yang in full public view, and no one can leave safely.
The assassin is also determined to die.
In the end, I never thought of killing a Taoist priest halfway.
This assassin was the first group of spies to come to Jiangzhou.
In addition, Lao Dao usually doesn't see people at all, so many people don't know that Lao Dao exists.
The assassin thought that Lao Dao was from Song Yang's side.
However, Pingzhen looked at the assassin, his eyes filled with contempt.
"Hmph! The promise of Pindao has not been fulfilled yet, who dares to stop him!"
"Take him away for rigorous interrogation!"
The assassin was trapped, Gongsun Qi said coldly.
The guards dragged the assassin away, punching and kicking him from time to time.
Song Yang is their spiritual support and life mentor. If something happens to Song Yang, Jiangzhou will be finished.
The guards were filled with righteous indignation, so it was strange that they could make life easier for the assassin.
The farce finally subsided, and Gongsun Qi brought Taoist Pingzhen to Song Yang.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, poor Taoist Pingzhen, I have met the prince of Jiangzhou." Pingzhen said with a bow.
Song Yang showed a kind face, smiled and said to Ping Zhen:
"Taoist Priest Pingzhen is exempt from the courtesy. Taoist Priest just helped me, I should be the one thanking you."
Ping Zhen shook his head slightly and said, "Even if no one takes action, the crossbow arrows can't hurt the prince."
What a sharp eye Pingzhen has. Song Yang just moved slightly, and Pingzhen could tell that Song Yang's reaction ability was super strong and he had no problem dodging the crossbow arrows.
"Then I have to thank the Taoist priest a lot."
Song Yang hugged his fists and smiled.
Pingzhen didn't say anything, and nodded slightly to accept Song Yang's thanks.
"Since the Taoist Master is Master Gongsun Qi, why not enter the city with me." Song Yang made an invitation gesture and said with a smile.
He was very interested in the old Taoist, and he could tell that he was extraordinary as soon as the old Taoist threw the medicine basket.
Song Yang had already planned to compete with the old Taoist.
Gongsun Qi once said that his master, Ping Zhen Lao Dao, was among the top three in the world in martial arts, and Song Yang was also among the top three in the world.
Gongsun Qi is not sure who is better between Lao Dao and Song Yang.
This made Song Yang extremely curious.
After all, Song Yang has never met an opponent who can fight in these years.
Even now, we haven't tried our best.
Song Yang simply doesn't know where his limit is.
The appearance of the old Taoist made Song Yang want to verify.
After hearing Song Yang's invitation, Ping Zhen hesitated for a moment.
It is true that he wants to kill Song Yang, but now his relationship with Gongsun Qi has been exposed.
If Song Yang is killed, the old Taoist is afraid that Gongsun Qi will be implicated.
"Sigh. Then let's not take action for now and prepare a way out for the disciple first."
After much hesitation, Ping Zhen finally decided that it would be better to wait before taking action.
The veteran doesn't know how strong Song Yang is, because Song Yang has almost no record of attacking outsiders.
So he didn't think he could kill Song Yang.
Ping Zhen is more willing to leave a way out for his apprentice when things are easy to capture.
"Then thank you so much, Your Majesty."
The old Taoist bowed his head and thanked Song Yang for his kindness, and decided to go to the city and have a look before talking.
Song Yang smiled and said that Lao Dao was willing to go back with him and have a fight with him when he had a chance.
The two of them came to the inner city all the way with their own thoughts in mind.
Arriving in the inner city, Song Yang returned to the Yamen with Fang Zhe and other officials.
I have been away for two or three months, and there are many things I need to understand first.
Fang Zhe reported on civil affairs, mainly on the development in various aspects.
Ma Cheng reported on grain and grass transportation and defense along the river.
Gongsun Qi then talked about how many detective horses he had captured during this period and how much information he had obtained.
Although Song Yang is not at home, Jiangzhou has been operating smoothly during this period.
After everyone reported, Song Yang was very satisfied with the work during this period.
What makes Song Yang most happy is the major breakthrough in the design of internal combustion engines.
According to Wang Jinshi, the first version will be trial-produced by February at the latest.
Before Song Yang left, he discussed the internal combustion engine with Wang Jinshi and others.
At that time, he was asked to make a single-cylinder engine, and Song Yang shared some drawings and theories with Wang Jinshi.
After three months of development, Wang Jinshi finally made significant progress.
This matter is actually thanks to Song Yang's two Mohist apprentices.
Wang Hun and Xu Ling used Mohist mechanism techniques to help Wang Jinshi adjust the various steps and processes of machinery manufacturing, greatly improving the development progress.
Song Yang finished discussing official matters with everyone and then dispersed.
Let Gongsun Qi settle down with Ping Zhen Lao Dao, and he immediately rushed home.
Tong Qian was holding a steamed bun and beside her was Shen Xiaowan, who was already waiting for him at the door.
