At the quarter of the hour, when the auspicious time came, Luo Zhang rode on the tall horse given by the royal family with red leather and colorful decorations. Under the protection of a group of Luo family guards and musicians, he headed towards the palace while playing music.
This time Luo Zhang invited three hundred musicians for a grand occasion. Although he spent a lot of money, he couldn't lose face. After all, he was marrying a princess and wanted to give his majesty face.
Along the way, Luo Zhang received an extremely warm welcome. Everyone wanted to see the groom's official appearance.
Luo Zhang was also extremely happy. Seeing such enthusiastic people in Chang'an, he was filled with emotions. Looking back a few months ago, he was still a member of the market. Now there are several people in Chang'an City who don't know him, Luo Zhang. He He has become the big shot he thinks he is.
Waving his hands to greet the people of Chang'an, he was like a boss inspecting his soldiers. He just shouted those two slogans. Thank you for your hard work, comrades...
Fortunately, Chang'an Avenue was under martial law. If there had been no martial law, Luo Zhang would have been surrounded by the people.
While Luo Zhang interacted with the people in a relaxed and relaxed manner, Wu Shaobin and Chen Kuifeng looked nervous and solemn. One was in front and the other was behind. Their eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings, guarding tightly.
In a loft in the middle section of Chang'an Avenue, a person stood on the top floor of the loft and looked out. The panoramic view of this section of Chang'an Avenue could be seen from outside.
"Luo Zhang, you harmed my second brother, third brother, and so many of my subordinates. I, Wang Hu, said you would pay back! Today is your wedding day and also your burial day!"
The person who spoke was none other than the boss of the Three Heroes of Qilian Mountain, the only one who escaped from the assassination of Luo Zhang.
Ever since he got a large sum of money from Changsun Mansion, he has disappeared without any movement. Even Changsun Chong thought that he had left Chang'an. Who would have thought that he had not left, but had been lurking in Chang'an waiting for the opportunity.
After getting the large sum of money from Chang Sun Chong, Wang Hu had been making preparations. After learning that Luo Zhang was about to get married, he spent a lot of money to buy this loft because of its extremely convenient location. Good, you can ambush.
Next to Wang Hu, there is a large ballista. This ballista is generally used for sieges, and is extremely strictly controlled. It is not allowed to be held by private individuals or families. Once found in possession of this object, they will be punished. In dealing with rebellion, after all, in the Tang Dynasty, such a large-scale murder weapon was a great threat.
But if there is profit, there is nothing that cannot be sold.
, after Wang Hu spent most of the silver he got, he still got one. Although it cost a lot, Wang Hu felt that it was worth the money. With this thing, no matter how powerful Luo Zhang was, he could shoot him with a crossbow. My heart is cold, I guarantee that Luo Zhang will die.
You must know that the crossbow arrows fired by this crossbow cart are not only extremely fast, but also surprisingly powerful. Even if they are wearing heavy armor, they cannot withstand it. True Yuan realm masters will die if they are shot, not to mention that Luo Zhang only wears Leather armor is just a state of Qi sense.
If Wang Hu really gets a chance, he might really kill Luo Zhang.
Time passed by, and the team that picked up the bride came all the way to the middle of Chang'an Avenue.
Wang Hu saw the wedding team from a distance, with excitement in his eyes and his fists clenched tightly.
Not daring to be negligent, Wang Hu turned around and adjusted the ballista. This thing was not shipped as a whole, but disassembled and brought here by him, so everything needed to be adjusted by him personally, such as He is now adjusting the angle and loading the crossbow.
There is a machine spring at the back of the crossbow. As long as the machine spring is hammered down with a hammer on the side, the crossbow arrow will be launched. This is different from the hand-held crossbow arrow.
At this time, Wang Hu, who had completed the adjustment, held a hammer in one hand and stared at Chang'an Avenue, waiting for the opportunity.
Not far from the attic, a group of Secret Service guards were lining up towards here. They were all faster than the team picking up the bride. Everyone was relieved during this journey. No suspicious person was found, let alone No matter what accident happens, everyone hopes that it is best to survive it safely. They also know that if something big happens, no one can run away.
However, when the guards of the Secret Service reached the loft in front of them, they discovered something unusual. The door of this loft was locked and there seemed to be no one there. However, after their inquiries, they found out that this loft was located a few days ago. It was bought by someone on the same day and cost a lot of money. This would be nothing in normal times, but it was a bit unusual to buy the attic during this period and lock the door.
You must know that the location of this attic is just right in front of Chang'an Avenue.
The news soon reached Li Junxian's ears, and Li Junxian, who did not dare to neglect at all, rushed over immediately.
"Have you explored the situation inside?" Li Junxian, who came to the scene, asked looking at the attic in front of him.
"Not yet, the attic is sealed all around. The only open window is at the top of the attic. It's too high and we can't see what's going on inside. But the window faces Chang'an Avenue, and the attic It has only been a few days since we bought it, so we started to have suspicions and reported it to your lord." the guard captain reported.
"You did the right thing. Come to the ladder and put up the window for me. No matter what, you have to investigate carefully. If there is nothing, forget it. If you find something wrong, arrest me immediately!" Li Junxian ordered.
"Yes, sir." After receiving Li Junxian's order, a number of secret spy guards took action, surrounding the entire attic, and then a ladder was carried over by several people.
Wang Hu, who was in the attic, naturally noticed all the movements below. He did not expect that he would be discovered by the people from the Secret Service. This made Wang Hu secretly resentful. He glanced at the approaching marriage team on Chang'an Avenue, and then Looking at the Secret Service guards surrounding the attic below, Wang Hu felt a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Ma De, if you want to die, face up, or if you don't die, turn over. Let's see what you can do to me! No matter how hard it is, I will kill Luo Zhang's grandson!" Wang Hu clenched his fists and made up his mind.
Of course, he didn't sit still and wait for death. Instead, he went down to the attic and brought up a clay pot. The jar was sealed, but there was still a strong smell of kerosene coming from the jar. This was a jar filled with kerosene. Wang Hu prepared it just in case, but he didn't expect to actually use it.
Luo Zhang had no idea what was happening ahead. He was still immersed in the welcome of everyone at this moment. It was not common for so many people to pay attention to him, and it was probably only this time in his life. After all, he couldn't Marry a princess twice.
Just as Luo Zhang's wedding team was about to arrive at the middle of Chang'an Avenue, he saw a flame burning in front of him on the right. The raging flames rolled up black smoke and shot straight into the sky. It was difficult not to be noticed.
At this moment, everyone became nervous. People from the City Defense Department turned their heads and looked behind them, fearing that the people would cause riots and attack the wedding team, while the people were looking for what was going on there.
Luo Zhang could see more clearly while riding on the horse. He saw that an attic was on fire. It just happened that it caught fire when he was about to arrive. Could it be that there was something going on?
Luo Zhang had to think more. There were too many people who wanted to kill him. If this ignited a fire, maybe someone wanted to cause a disturbance and took action.
Chen Kuifeng came from the rear, and Wu Shaobin also retreated from the front, guarding Luo Zhang on both sides.
"Luo Zhang, for the sake of safety, you should change your clothes first and then put them on after you get here." Wu Shaobin suggested.
"Change clothes? That's not good. If you change clothes, who will ride this horse? Even if I change clothes, it will be useless!" Luo Zhang said, somewhat unwilling to be so cowardly.
"I will arrange for a guard to pretend to be you riding a horse later. As long as nothing happens, I will change back." Wu Shaobin went ahead with the arrangement regardless of whether Luo Zhang was willing or not.
Luo Zhang had no choice but to dismount and hide in the crowd, take off his clothes, and watch a guard of similar stature put on his groom's robe and mount the horse.
And he mounted the guard's horse and followed behind. Not to mention the grievance in his heart, he cursed secretly in his heart, "This is really not going to stop. They don't even give me any face and peace of mind at the labor-management wedding. Don't let me know who is causing trouble." Otherwise, his skin will be peeled off and his tendons will be cramped.
