Chapter 579: Assassination in the Hunting Ground
In the sound of the horsewhip, the horses under the seat suddenly jumped out, and Lotte pulled the reins tightly in a hurry, no matter how much he scolded the horses under the seat, he couldn't let them stand still, and finally the whole person had to lie on the mount and let the horses gallop.
"Hahaha......"
Looking at Lotte's embarrassed appearance, ridicule came from the mouths of a group of party nobles and Western Xia officials, even Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun and the crown prince Li Renbao also laughed together.
"Adult ......"
Seeing this, Wu Song, Xu Jiang and others, who were guarding Lotte, hurriedly urged their hips and dismounted their horses to chase after them.
Seeing the horses under the seat fall into a frightened state, Lotte was very surprised in his heart, if it was an ordinary horse that was shocked, the horse under his crotch was a trained war horse, and it was also the most docile horse selected by several people, how could he be shocked if he was simply whipped.
Sou......
Just when Lotte was still lying on the horse's back, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking the air in his ears, and then felt a pain in his right shoulder as if he had been hit hard, and moved his eyes slightly, Lotte saw a barbed wolf tooth arrow inserted into the armor on his shoulder, if he didn't have the armor on this shoulder, he would have scrapped if he didn't get this shoulder.
Someone wanted to assassinate himself, Lotte instantly realized, and in this gap, the air broke again, and several arrows grazed his body.
At this moment, the crotch and the horse were frightened, and he couldn't help himself, and he didn't know where the arrow that shot at him came from, so Lotte could only hold the horse's neck tightly to prevent himself from falling off the horse.
"Quickly protect the Song Envoy!"
Seeing the arrow that suddenly shot at Lotte, Li Qianshun, who was smiling and watching Lotte's joke, was taken aback, and hurriedly called out loudly. If Lotte dies, it will be in big trouble.
Seeing that Lotte was in distress, Wu Song and the others also shouted: "Protect your lord!" ”
Princess Lando, who was still laughing with her mouth open and watching Lotte's jokes before, was dumbfounded at the moment, originally thinking that she had made Lotte ugly, and it had caused so many things.
However, the bad luck that Lotte faced did not end here, and suddenly Lotte felt himself flying, and the whole person turned 360 degrees in the sky, and finally fell to the ground with a "snap", and the frightened horse under the Lotte seat also fell to the ground at this moment.
Lotte didn't know why the galloping horse fell, but this scene fell in the eyes of the soldiers who passed by the battlefield, and immediately knew that someone had set up a stumbling horse here.
Falling heavily on the ground, fortunately, the soil on the ground was soft and there was thick grass, which made Lotte not hurt anything, but it was not an ordinary embarrassment, and even made Lotte feel like the bones were going to fall apart.
People in the distance saw that Lotte's horse was tripped, and at the next moment, they saw that in the grass around Lotte, suddenly grass was lifted, and several big men dressed in black and holding steel knives jumped out, and the steel knives in their hands fell towards Lotte's figure.
Falling off the horse, Lotte couldn't get up in pain, and suddenly saw several masked black-clothed people slashing at him with steel knives in their hands, Lotte shouted "I'm dying", so he closed his eyes and waited for death.
Sou! Sou! Sou......
Just when Lotte closed his eyes and waited for death, he heard the sound of breaking the air in his ears, which made Lotte cry more and more bitter in his heart, and the knife was just chopping, and even the arrows were shot over, thinking about the tragic appearance of his death, he was pierced by random arrows and was divided by random blades, and it was difficult to keep the whole corpse.
"Ah......h
……
The dull sound of arrows hitting his body, and the screams that followed, sounded in front of Rakuten, who felt that his soul had been flying for nine days, and his body was immortalized with the sun and the moon.
"No, this scream was not made by himself, except for the pain of falling, there is no sword cut wound, and there is no ......pain from an arrow entering the body," after a few breaths after the scream, Lotte suddenly thought.
Feeling that something was wrong, Lotte who was lying on the ground opened his eyes and looked in front of him again, only to see that the black-clothed man who had just slashed at him with a steel knife fell to the ground, and everyone was hit by an arrow in the throat, and at this moment his body was struggling and twitching, and even Lotte could see that these black-clothed people had fallen off their masked faces because of blood loss and pain, and their faces had turned gray and distorted.
"Your Excellency, are you alright?"
At this time, Wu Song, Xu Jiang, Mao Jiu and others rode horses to Lotte and hurriedly helped Lotte up.
"There's a living mouth here!" At this time, Mao Jiu looked at the man in black who fell to the ground and suddenly said, causing everyone to look over, only to see that although a black-clothed masked man who was hit by an arrow was injured, he did not hurt his life, and then Mao Jiu pointed the steel knife in his hand at the man in black and shouted: "Don't move!" ”
"Quickly control this person, be careful that he takes poison and kills himself!" Seeing the man in black, Xu Jiang stepped forward with the most sensitive reaction, broke the man's mouth open, and examined the person's mouth, and ordered someone to tie him up.
Helping Lotte up, Wu Song said while checking the injuries on Lotte's body: "Official, thanks to General Wang's archery skills, otherwise the official is afraid that this time he will be more than lucky!"
The general Wang mentioned in Wu Song's mouth naturally refers to Wang Fangkui, the son of Wang Shunchen, who was killed in an ambush in Huangzhou and the Song army was in chaos, and fired more than 1,000 arrows in two hours and sent a column to get the Song army out of trouble.
Grinning in pain, Lotte only smiled at Wang Fangkui, who was working hard, and it was really difficult to speak.
Holding Lotte, Xu looked around left and right: "What about the person who released the cold arrow of Lord Chaozhongshu?" ”
"Flee to the woods over there, the cavalry of the Xia people have already chased after them!" Mao Jiu pointed westward, and then sighed: "Today, thanks to listening to Lord Xu's words, Lord Zhongshu is wearing a thick armor, otherwise what will be the consequences?" ”
"How's it going?" Looking at Wu Song, who was checking for Lotte's injuries, General Xu asked.
"It's okay, it's just some abrasions and bruises, and it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones!" After checking it out for Lotte, Wu Song replied.
At this time, a subordinate of the Imperial City Division replied to General Xu: "My lord, that assassin just fainted from excessive blood loss, and he has not had time to take the poison pill yet. ”
General Xu instructed the subordinates of the Imperial City Division: "Bring this person back to heal his wounds, don't let him die, and expect to get some useful news out of his mouth!" ”
At this time, a famous soldier pulled the horse that Lotte had ridden before and said, "Lord Xu, come and see the injury on the horse's buttocks!" ”
Looking at the injury on the horse's buttocks, the group of people, including Xu Jiang, Wu Song, Wang Fangkui and others, immediately narrowed their eyes, with an unbelievable expression in their eyes.
Chang Kun looked at it and looked at a few people: "If I remember correctly, this horse's buttocks injury was inflicted by Her Royal Highness Princess Lando!" ”
Although Lotte was in pain at this moment, it was not as bad as Fang Cai, and he nodded while looking at the horse's hips, which could be clearly seen from the scars on the horse's hips.
The brain hole was instantly opened by Lotte, isn't this princess not wanting to marry herself and deliberately come to such a hand, letting people hide in the dark and assassinate herself? Lotte thought involuntarily in his heart.
"Is there anything wrong with Leshan Hou?" Just when Lotte was opening his mind, Li Renbao, the prince of Western Xia, came to Lotte on horseback, turned over and dismounted and asked.
Lotte, who was being supported, saluted Li Renbao with great difficulty: "With the help of His Majesty Lao and His Royal Highness the Prince, the little envoy only suffered some skin injuries, and the rest are fine!" ”
"Lehou Xiu should be polite, or recuperate!" Seeing Lotte's gift, Li Renbao hurriedly stopped the way, and comforted Lotte: "My father has sent someone to chase the assassin who released the cold arrow, and I believe that news will come soon!" ”
At this time, Lotte said: "The assassin who assassinated the envoy was shot three by the envoy's men, and he was taken alive, and the envoy wanted to take it back for interrogation, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will agree!" ”
Listening to Lotte Yan, Li Renbao's face showed embarrassment, "I can't be the master of this matter, I can only reply to Lehou when I go back and discuss it with my father!" Immediately, Li Renbao diverted the topic again, "Fang is the sister who is naughty, my father has already taught her a strict lesson, and Lehou should not be surprised!" ”
Just after Li Renbao's voice fell, I saw the guards who served Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun and Li Renbao came over and gave a salute and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty wants a small edict to Your Highness, and Marquis Le can bring the assassin back for interrogation by himself when he gets it, and there is no need to ask for instructions!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lotte salute said. At the same time, I was thinking in my heart that there were two possibilities for Li Qianshun to say such a thing, one was to show the innocence of Western Xia, and this assassination incident had nothing to do with Western Xia; The second possibility is that this matter was done by Western Xia, but the assassin was very loyal, and would rather die than reveal half a secret.
……
When something like this happens, a hunt ends here, and it looks like a bit of an unhappy part.
When he went back, Lotte did not ride a horse but asked for a carriage from the convoy of the Western Xia royal family, and when he saw Princess Lando, Princess Nalando actually lowered her head and looked ashamed.
Looking at the team that Lotte returned first, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun's eyes were always focused on Wang Fangkui, and he sighed: "The archery skills of that archer of the Song people are quite powerful, and the combined strength of Great Xia and Great Liao is looking for such a realm, I'm afraid I can't find a few people?" ”
"Didn't hide it!" After the words fell, Li Qianshun suddenly called out.
"The minister is here!" Those who have been living in the shadows are busy answering the road.
Li Qianshun's face turned gloomy, and he ordered: "Order someone to investigate, who sent this person who sent the envoy of the Southern Dynasty?" ”
……
***********************
Sitting in the car, Xu Jiang gave medicine to Lotte's wound, and Lotte, who was lying on the car, said: "General Xu, where do you think the person who assassinated this official?" ”
Xu Jiang replied: "Da Liao Tong Bureau's! ”
"Are you sure?" Lotte asked.
Xu Jiang replied: "The humble position is only preliminarily determined, and it needs to be interrogated before it can be said." ”
"What if this person has a hard mouth?" Rakuten asked.
This time, there was some smugness in General Xu's voice: "Lord Zhongshu, in the hands of the emperor, there is no mouth that cannot be pried open!" ”
