Chapter 539: Strike Again

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

The assassin who assassinated Liu Xiu was in the barracks of the army, no matter how strong his martial arts were, it was difficult to fly in the face of the crowds of soldiers.

Before the Assassin was captured, he wanted to kill himself by swallowing the poison wrapped in wax, but Zhao Gui took the lead and shot through the Assassin's wrist with a timely arrow, and his pill failed to swallow into his stomach.

Zhao Gui and the others took advantage of the situation to capture the assassin, and then Long Yuan personally interrogated him. The assassin was a dead man, and his mouth was very hard, but Long Yuan also used many torture methods, all kinds of torture, which could make people feel painful, and life was worse than death.

It took Long Yuan almost half an hour before he finally knocked the assassin's mouth open.

The poison quenched on the crossbow arrow is a five-step snake venom. The five-step snake is also known as the seven-step snake and the hundred-step snake, no matter how many steps, just by listening to the name, you know that this is a highly venomous snake. The five-step snake, known by its scientific name is the barramundi pit viper, which is very common in the south, and its fangs can release circulating toxins. This toxin is very domineering, after poisoning, the human body will produce severe pain, the wound is black and purple, and the blood does not stop, only three

Within four hours, the toxin will spread throughout the body, destroying various tissues and organs of the human body, such as the lymphatic system.

Knowing that the other party was using five-step snake venom, Long Yuan hurriedly returned to the Zhongjun tent and reported the matter to Liu Xiu and the medical officers present. Hearing that it was a five-step snake venom, all the medical officers were nervous, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The five-step snake venom is certainly domineering, but it has not yet reached the point where there is no cure, and many of these medical officers under Liu Xiu are famous doctors in the north and are good at detoxification.

The medical officers methodically dispensed and mixed the medicine, first feeding Zhu Kun a large bowl of black medicinal soup, then raising arrows for him, pulling out the crossbow arrows, and then applying medicine to the wound. After some tossing, Zhu Kun's condition improved significantly, his body no longer spasmed and convulsed, Tie Qing's face returned to blood, his lips were no longer black and purple, but began to turn white, and the wound of the arrow wound was even more bleeding bright red blood

Liquid.

Seeing this, the medical officials breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how deep his personal grudge with Zhu Kun was, it was now written off with Zhu Kun blocking this arrow for him.

In fact, even if Zhu Kun doesn't help Liu Xiu block the arrow, Liu Xiu himself may not be able to dodge, even if he doesn't dodge, as long as it doesn't hit his vital point, he will be fine, after all, he has drunk gold liquid, and he is invincible to all poisons.

But in such a dangerous situation at that time, Zhu Kun could not hesitate, instinctively pounced on Liu Xiu, and helped him block this arrow, which was enough to prove Zhu Kun's loyalty.

When Zhu Kun's injuries stabilized and he fell asleep, Liu Xiu carried Zhu Kun to the sleeping tent to rest, he sat behind the handsome case in the Chinese military tent, looked at Long Yuan with a gloomy face, and asked, "Who instructed the assassin?" ”

Long Yuan glanced at Liu Xiu cautiously, lowered his head and said, "Yes...... Li Yi. ”

"What?" Liu Xiu raised her eyebrows, isn't Li Yi dead? Zhu Kun had already sent someone to assassinate Li Yi! He said in a deep voice: "What nonsense! Long Yuan explained: "The assassin confessed, he is Li Yi's protΓ©gΓ©, on weekdays, he has been deeply taken care of by Li Yi, this time Li Yi was killed, he decided that His Majesty was the real murderer, it was His Majesty who instructed General Feng to fornicate with Li Yi, and then His Majesty asked General Feng to be the duke."

opened the letter of his fornication with Li Yi, which led to Li Yi's final death. ”

Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes, if he said so, it would make sense. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Do the Assassins still have allies?" ”

Long Yuan whispered: "The assassin said that in the whole of Luoyang, there are thousands of people who want to kill His Majesty, and there are thousands of his comrades. ”

Liu Xiu snorted and laughed, laughing angrily. He asked, "Long Yuan, do you think that what the assassin confessed is true and what is false. ”

Long Yuan Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent someone to investigate, this assassin is indeed Li Yi's disciple, and the relationship with Li Yi is indeed very close. ”

Liu Xiu nodded, silent in thought. Long Yuan asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do with this person?" ”

"If you can't find anything else on him, you can do it yourself!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! Long Yuan answered, turned around and walked out.

Zhu Kun's arrow wound was not serious, but it was more scary to be poisoned, and now that the poison has been resolved, the person woke up that day, slept for another night, and was able to get out of bed and walk around the next day.

He came to Liu Xiu's tent early in the morning and pleaded guilty to Liu Xiu.

The assassin appeared in his barracks, and how could Zhu Kun not be responsible?

Liu Xiu not only did not blame him, but also did not make a big fuss about this matter, waiting for the opportunity to ask Zhu Kun about his crime, but asked Zhu Kun for warmth, and was very concerned about his physical condition.

If Zhu Kun still had such a layer of guard and diaphragm against Liu Xiu before, but through this incident, Zhu Kun completely let down his guard against Liu Xiu, and that layer of diaphragm disappeared in an instant.

He patted his chest emotionally and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry! When Weichen fought on the battlefield, what kind of injury he hadn't suffered, this little injury was nothing at all! ”

Seeing that Zhu Kun was indeed full of energy, Liu Xiu also put his mind at ease and said to Zhu Kun with a smile: "Yesterday, I was delayed by the assassins for a day, and today, we will finish inspecting the southern, northern, and western camps!" ”

Hearing this, the faces of everyone present also changed. In Dongying, there is already an assassin lurking, who can guarantee that there are no hidden assassins in the south, north, and west camps? Your Majesty still has to go to these three battalions to inspect, which is too dangerous.

Zhu Kun also felt that it was inappropriate, and dissuaded: "Your Majesty, let's let Da Sima go on his behalf to inspect!" ”

When Wu Han heard this, he immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, let Weichen go!" ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "If I don't dare to personally inspect the southern, northern, and western camps just because there is an assassin in the east camp, it will not only chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three battalions, but also make the soldiers despise me!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they wanted to dissuade them, but seeing Liu Xiu's resolute attitude, people were silent, so they could only raise their spirits and take all precautions.

Before Liu Xiu went to inspect the southern, northern, and western camps, Zhu Kun deliberately went to the third camp to walk around, ordered his subordinates, supervised each other, and if he found that someone around him was plotting against him, he would immediately report it, and anyone who reported it would be rewarded.

If they do not report this, all the soldiers will be jointly and severally liable, regardless of which song or department the assassin came from.

In addition, Wu Han also sent a large number of subordinates into the third battalion to supervise and guard.

The two-pronged approach of Zhu Kun and Wu Han was effective, and when Liu Xiu inspected the third battalion, there were no more accidents.

The soldiers of the third battalion also showed high-pitched emotions to Liu Xiu's personal arrival, and in the school military field, people shouted His Majesty in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

After inspecting the three camps, the sky was already dark, and Liu Xiu said to Zhu Kun, who accompanied him: "Changshu, let's go to the palace to have a look!" ”

Zhu Kun immediately responded: "Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Then, he said: "During the period when Weichen was stationed in Luoyang, he did not relax his vigilance against the palace, and everything in the palace has not changed!" Speaking of which, Luoyang Palace, Your Majesty is the most familiar with it! ”

After saying this, Zhu Kun immediately regretted it again, and felt that he was deliberately mocking His Majesty for being a lieutenant on the spot and repairing the palace for Liu Xuan.

When Liu Xiu heard this, he looked up and smiled indifferently, and said proudly: "Every brick and tile, every grass and tree in Luoyang Palace, I have it all in mind!" ”

Zhu Kun was also happy, and admired Liu Xiu's broad-mindedness.

A truly confident person is never afraid of being exposed, you expose my shortcomings, that is also my experience, there is nothing to be embarrassed to face.

Liu Xiu and his entourage went to the palace from Nanying, which was located in Nancheng and not far from Nanying. Luoyang South City is very prosperous, with many shops, there is a gold market on the left, a horse market on the right, and two major vegetable markets in the center.

It's evening now, the streets of Luoyang, crowds of people, horse-drawn carriages passing through, and the outside of the shops are lit up, so it's not lively. Liu Xiu did not ride in a carriage, but rode a horse and walked with Zhu Kun and others.

When Liu Xiu and his party walked to the intersection of Kaiyang Street and Consumption Street, a series of screams suddenly came from the side of Consumption Street, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves running rapidly.

Liu Xiu and the others subconsciously turned their heads to take a look, only to see more than a dozen frightened horses running over the side of the street, and there was no one on the horseback, crashing straight towards their side.

Long Yuan, who was guarding Liu Xiu's side, shouted urgently: "Escort! ”

With Long Yuan's shouting, a large number of guards lined up on Liu Xiu's side, the front row of guards raised their shields in unison, using the shield array to resist the horses running over, and the guards behind raised their crossbow machines one after another.

When the frightened horses were about to rush closer, the leader of the guards shouted, "Shoot the arrowsβ€”"

Smack, smack, smack! For a time, the sound of the crossbow machine was endless, and the galloping horses, some of which were hit by several arrows in their bodies, and some of which were hit by dozens of arrows, neighed and fell to the ground.

The horses in front were knocked to the ground, and the horses behind slammed into the guard's shield.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A loud bang followed.

Even though the people had tried their best, the shield array was still smashed by the horses, but at this moment, from the belly of those horses, a man in black with a sword jumped down.

There was no one on the horse's back, and these men in black were hanging upside down under the horse's belly, and it was already dark, and people could not see clearly that there were people hiding under the horse's belly.

The men in black emerged from under their horses, each with a sharp blade, and charged into the crowd of guards. The man in black is like a cold-blooded killing machine, and wherever the sword blade passes, blood will be splashed. Liu Xiu's personal guards are also elites, but in front of these black-clothed people, they are like paper paste, and they are matched in groups

Fang's sharp blade slashed to the ground.

The goal of all the people in black is the same, that is, Liu Xiu.

Just when the guards around Liu Xiu were desperately resisting the attack of the black-clothed men, on the roofs around the crossroads, more than a dozen black-clothed people stood up, holding crossbows in their hands, aiming their arrows at Liu Xiu, and moving the hanging knives together.

Smack, smack, smack!

More than a dozen crossbow arrows, divided into east, west, north and south, concentrated on Liu Xiu.

Fortunately, Liu Xiu is an emperor immediately, not a weak emperor. He did not panic at the arrows that flew from all around, but turned over and fell directly from his horse.

Poof, poof, poof! A few crossbow arrows did not hit Liu Xiu, but they were firmly nailed to the horse's neck, and the war horse neighed and fell to the ground with a bang. Liu Xiu, who jumped off the horse, took advantage of the situation to pull out the Chixiao Sword under his ribs, squinted his eyes, and looked around coldly.
