When we walked out of Duobufang's store, the rain had slowed down. At this time, silk drizzle was falling on the horizon, and the rain and mist were filled with mist, covering the sky like smoke and clouds.
Zhao Yong was sitting cross-legged in the carriage. He felt that it was strange that he had met Yao Lan just now. It's as if it was specially arranged by someone else.
Zhao Yong had only been in the north for two days. The population of Dai County was more than one hundred thousand, and with the merchants coming in and out every day, he lived deep in the palace. How could I happen to meet her here at this time?
Has his whereabouts been leaked?
Zhao Yong just said something cautious secretly. Pang Nuan's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage: "Sir, there is a cavalry team ahead blocking the way."
Horse team, such a coincidence? Zhao Yong suddenly became vigilant, there must be a monster if something goes wrong. The coincidences one after another may be premeditated.
"Go around!" Zhao Yong immediately replied to Pang Nuan outside the car.
But it's also possible that he was overthinking it. "I hope so." Zhao Yong muttered to himself.
"Do you want to punish people and dispatch defenders?" Pang Nuan, who was driving, heard that the monarch's tone was wrong and asked.
...Pang Nuan felt horrified when he saw that Zhao Yong behind him didn't reply for a long time.
He hurriedly stopped the carriage and turned around to lift the curtain. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand moved, he heard the monarch's loud shout.
"Fuck! What's going on!" Zhao Yong roared in pain.
His brain was running very fast just now. Who would have thought that the carriage would suddenly stop at a 90-degree angle and everyone else would almost be thrown out of the car.
"I apologize! I didn't hear the monarch's voice just now, so I thought..." Pang Nuan replied hesitantly, even changing his title when he was so nervous.
"What do you think! Go back to the palace quickly!" Zhao Yong replied angrily.
However, he also knew that Pang Nuan was worried about his safety, and then said: "There is no need to send anyone yet, maybe it's just that the few are worried too much."
"Here!" Pang Nuan replied, then drove past the carriage and continued driving.
The carriage turned around and finally moved away from the place where the incident occurred.
As the carriage drove, both sides of the road became increasingly quiet. Although it was already past Shenshi, you must know that this is Dai County and it is also the busiest commercial district.
Naturally, Zhao Yong would not make fun of his own life. The reason why he did not let Pang Nuan condemn people to mobilize troops was not to gain some false reputation. Besides, he needed a false reputation as the king of a country. He was just afraid of alerting the enemy, because Zhao Yong had already determined that someone was going to target him.
But since he dared to lure the snake out of its hole, he naturally had his back-up plan. In addition to the dozen or so palace guards who secretly accompanied him, the most important thing was the first-class master lent to him by the Mo family.
Thinking about it, I'm afraid I can't find any force in the world today that can kill all the guards of this size in a short time.
This is what allows Zhao Yong to remain calm at this time.
Zhao Yong now only hopes that this incident has nothing to do with Yao Lan just now...
But I think the answer will be revealed soon.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong." Pang Nuan reminded the carriage behind him solemnly.
Zhao Yong could detect something wrong, not to mention the battle-hardened Pang Nuan.
Sure enough, as soon as the carriage left the spacious section of the road, dozens of gangsters with swords rushed out from around the narrow street. They were dressed in different styles and crowded around the carriage in a noisy manner.
Although Pang Nuan had already expected it, he couldn't help but be shocked when what he thought about actually happened in front of him. It wasn't that he was timid, but that he was afraid of disturbing Zhao Yong in the carriage.
Pang Nuan whipped the horse's butt hard, causing the horse to be frightened and run wildly with all four hooves.
"Second and third sons, stop the carriage!" A middle-aged man who looked like a leader among the thieves shouted loudly to the nearby minions with his upper body naked.
There was a long and thin scar on the leader's face, which stretched from the left side of his face to his jaw. It looked very scary. Especially when he roared loudly, the scar on his face moved like a dark red earthworm that couldn't stop squirming.
Pang Nuan saw that the horse couldn't charge forward, so he simply dropped the reins in his hands. He jumped out of the carriage, drew out the long sword from his waist and chopped down a minion who was trying to bully him.
"My lord, I have no worries, let me fight my way out for you!" After saying that, he rushed forward to fight with the thieves.
However, Pang Nuan was alone after all, and was ultimately outnumbered. Not long after, his strength failed and he was stabbed in the arm.
"Come on, guys, let me kill this kid with one blow." The scarred thief was furious when he saw that dozens of people couldn't take down the skinny guard for a long time, and several people were chopped down one after another. If he delayed any longer, something might happen, so he immediately picked up the half-man-high sword and stepped forward.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, more than ten guards wearing uniform cloth armor shot out from the periphery of the crowd.
'Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh', several long arrows shot straight at him, and most of the thief's power was instantly dispersed.
At this time, a man in green robe stepped forward and struck Scar with a palm like a huge wave.
Scar's eyes were horrified. He knew that this palm was invincible, so he stepped on horseback and raised his knife to block it.
Unexpectedly, the green-robed man's big hand actually circled down at this moment, and then he slapped his abdomen firmly with a palm.
"Pfft..." Scar immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his body flew out like a broken sack.
The minions below saw their boss being crippled by Qingpao's palm, and lost all fighting spirit. Not long after, they were chopped down to the ground by the guards one after another.
The man in green robe walked to the wall and looked at Scar, who had passed out. He was about to give him a slap to send him home.
"Keep a few alive." At this time, Zhao Yong said slowly in the carriage.
"Here." The man in green robe had no choice but to give up and bowed to the side.
Suddenly, there was another rumbling sound in the street. Everyone was horrified, thinking that another thief was coming. They hurriedly retracted their formation and defended themselves around the carriage.
Wu Guang just received a message saying that thieves gathered to attack Zhao Yong's convoy. His mood at that time was the same as that of the guard in front of him now.
But besides being frightened, he was also angry and afraid.
In fact, Zhao Yong's guess was correct. His meeting with Yao Lan was indeed arranged by someone, and that person was him! Yao Lan's biological father, Wu Guang.
…
Zhao Yong got off the carriage, looked at the mess in front of him, and shook his head.
Then he turned his eyes slightly and glanced at Wu Guang and the officials of Dai County who were lying on the ground.
"Please forgive me, the monarch!" Wu Guang's heart was bleeding at this time, but he did not beg for mercy, because he knew that the assassination of the monarch had something to do with him.
"Oh? What's wrong with the doctor?" Zhao Yong said with a smile on his lips.
"Because of my negligence, I was able to let the thieves enter the city, which frightened the monarch. I will die!" Wu Guang cleverly avoided the sensitive topic. Now he just hopes that these damn thieves will not be involved in Daidi, otherwise the Wu family will It’s completely finished.
"This is not the doctor's fault. The thieves are cunning. They disguised themselves and sneaked into the city, making them difficult to detect."
"Although the doctor has done something wrong, he is not guilty. Get up." Zhao Yong replied.
Everyone was still lying on the ground, not daring to get up.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Zhao Yong emphasized his tone.
"Thank you, Lord!" Everyone then got up from the ground in a trembling voice.
"This matter cannot be disclosed for the time being! The Three Kingdoms Alliance is imminent, and everything will be discussed later. The thief will be detained by Wu Qing for the time being!" Zhao Yong said in a serious tone again.
"Here!"
When Wu Guang saw that Zhao Yong did not suspect him, he let out a long sigh of relief.
