This soldier's sudden shout attracted the attention of many people, especially the few knights of the Feather Forest Army not far in front of this soldier immediately turned their heads.

It was also at this time that these villains in front of the scholar also happened to press the trigger of the crossbow in their hands.

"Whoosh!"

Several crossbow arrows were fired instantly, shooting towards Zhao Dan, who was still sitting in the carriage hundreds of paces away and did not look back.

Due to the sound of rolling wheels and the ubiquitous sound of horses' hooves, Zhao Dan did not hear this warning from hundreds of paces away.

So when these arrows came from afar, Zhao Dan was completely defenseless.

But Zhao Dan didn't see it, but it doesn't mean that everyone didn't see it.

Ji Xin, the deputy general of the Northern Army who was riding a horse and following Zhao Dan's side, happened to hear this warning with his keen hearing and turned his head.

The next moment, Ji Xin's pupils suddenly dilated, and he roared angrily: "Be careful, king!" ”

At the same time as Ji Xin roared, he quickly pulled out the long sword in his hand and stabbed it fiercely on the horse stock of a white horse that was pulling a cart for Zhao Dan.

The horse was stabbed in extreme pain, and with a neighing he galloped out directly, pulling Zhao Dan's carriage so hard that it almost overturned, and Zhao Dan's body sitting on the carriage also shook violently and directly lost his balance.

It was at this time that the bolts finally hit.

Due to the distance, most of the crossbow arrows did not hit Zhao Dan's carriage, but hit many soldiers of the Yulin Army behind Zhao Dan's car, killing several people.

But there was still a powerful crossbow bolt that penetrated the rear carriage of the carriage almost without hindrance, and grazed less than two feet from Zhao Dan's side.

"Poof!" After a dull sound, the back of the driver in front of Zhao Dan was instantly pierced, and he fell directly off the horse.

The horse pulling the cart lost its hand, and the injured horse neighed and galloped in pain, and there was some confusion for a while, seeing that Zhao Dan's carriage was about to overturn on its side.

At this moment, a figure fell from the sky and leaped to the position of the driver, grasped all the reins of the horse in a matter of seconds, and let out a roar full of anger by the way.

"There are assassins, escorts!"

The person who came was the drama Xin.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Dan wouldn't have believed that such an old man who was already sixty years old could have such an amazing body explosiveness, and forcibly pulled the horses who were about to go crazy with blood with brute force!

All these things happened in a flash of lightning, and Zhao Dan, who was sitting in the carriage defenselessly, didn't even have time to react, so he watched Ji Xin appear in the driver's seat in front of him with a bewildered expression, and stopped his carriage.

But immediately Zhao Dan reacted, and his heart was full of shock.

The blood on the ground and the corpse of the rider were enough for Zhao Dan to understand everything.

The widow actually suffered an assassination at the foot of Handan??

It was not only Zhao Dan who reacted, but also the Yulin Army around Zhao Dan.

Just after this assassination, the Yulin army also acted quickly.

The Yulin army around Zhao Dan immediately approached Zhao Dan's carriage, and instantly lined up a human wall with horses and mounts, blocking any arrows that might continue to be fired.

In addition, hundreds of knights of the Feather Forest Army turned their horses and rushed towards these assassins for the first time!

The assassins were also decisive, and after firing the arrows, they threw the crossbow machine in their hands directly, jumped on the horses that had been prepared behind them, and fled towards the south without looking back.

For a while, smoke and dust billowed from the road, and a large number of Feather Forest troops chased after several assassins, leaving everyone who witnessed it all stunned.

Ju Xin helped Zhao Dan out of the carriage and said to Zhao Dan respectfully: "The minister's protection is not effective, and he almost let the thief hurt the king, please punish the king!" ”

Zhao Dan's face didn't look very good, and he looked a little uncertain: "Where is the assassin?" ”

At this moment, countless thoughts came to Zhao Dan's mind.

Who are the assassins? Who sent it? Is it a domestic or foreign enemy?

There are many, many questions, and Zhao Dan can't wait to know the answers.

Ji Xin said fiercely: "The king doesn't have to worry, the minister has already sent someone to pursue the assassin." ”

If you want to say that the person who hates this assassin the most at the moment, Ju Xin is definitely one of them.

If Zhao Dan died under the protection of Ju Xin, then Ju Xin couldn't imagine what would happen next.

Zhao Dan suddenly had a spirit, grabbed Ji Xin's hand hard, and said in an unquestionable tone: "You must keep your mouth alive!" ”

If he didn't leave a living mouth, then Zhao Dan wouldn't know who sent the assassin at all.

To be honest, Zhao Dan was also a little afraid at this time.

If it hadn't been for Ji Xin's sudden sword that deflected Zhao Dan's carriage a little, maybe the strong arrow that penetrated the rear carriage would also have penetrated Zhao Dan's head by the way...

Ji Xin nodded vigorously and said, "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, let the ministers escort the king back to the palace first!" ”

Half an hour later, Zhao Dan, who returned to the palace, finally got his reward.

Several of the Assassins were chased and killed by the Yulin Army during their escape, and after a fight, two of the Assassins were captured in a coma, while the others were all killed by the Yulin Army.

After hearing the news, Zhao Dan immediately gave an order.

"Send the best palace doctor to take care of these two assassins, you must not let these two die!"

Zhao Dan almost gritted his teeth and said this.

What are you kidding, someone dares to stab a widow on the side of the road in Handan City in broad daylight?

Is there any royal law left?

Do you still take the widow, the hegemon of the Warring States, in your eyes?

The widow wants to see who hangs so much, and he dares to hit the widow with his idea!!

Because the assassination took place in full view of everyone on the main road, the news of Zhao Dan's assassination spread throughout Handan City in an explosive way almost immediately.

Therefore, Zhao Dan didn't even give an order, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Bao, Yu Xin and Li Bo, the four important ministers of Zhao State who were still in Handan City, had already come to the palace and appeared in front of Zhao Dan.

After seeing Zhao Dan safe and sound, the four important ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.

The current Zhao State is thriving under the leadership of Zhao Dan, but anyone who is still thinking about the future of Zhao Guo in their hearts will not want anything to happen to Zhao Dan at this time.

Even so, the four ministers present were furious about this incident.

Xiangbang Zhao Sheng slapped the table heavily, his face gloomy: "King, there must be someone behind this assassin, you must find out this main messenger!" ”

Si Kou Zhao Bao immediately agreed: "Great King, Si Kou is willing to be the king's precursor, and he must catch this main messenger and punish his three clans!" ”

This kind of thing is exactly what Zhao Bao is doing, so Zhao Bao naturally will not let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Bao deeply, and then slowly spoke: "Let the Inspector Wei and Si Kou be responsible for this matter." ”

At this time, Yu Xin, who had not spoken beside him, finally spoke: "King, the minister thinks this may be an opportunity." ”

Zhao Dan glanced at Yu Xin and couldn't help asking, "What chance?" ”

Yu Xin smiled slightly and said, "An extremely beneficial opportunity for the Great King and the Zhao Kingdom. ”
