The eight-inch-long fine steel arrow rotated rapidly in mid-air, and the tyrannical force directly tore the air, making an extremely harsh sound.
As if carrying wind and thunder, the huge Fuyuan crossbow arrow directly pierced the space, and in the blink of an eye it was already shooting towards the black carriage downstairs of the city gate.
Li Zhu, who was sitting on the side of the carriage, had a look of horror in his eyes. He never thought that Li Xuan had just arrived in Wuzhou and the assassination would follow.
"Take the stick!" Li Xuan's voice came from behind, and Li Zhu's corner of the eye immediately spotted a black iron rod sticking out from behind.
He subconsciously picked it up, turned his hand over, sat there, and while kicking upwards, he aimed at the Fuyuan crossbow arrow that was about to be shot in front of him and hit it with all his strength from the side.
With a "bang" sound, the black iron rod hit the Fuyuan Crossbow's arrow body hard.
Suddenly, the harsh sound of gold and iron clashing came.
Fuyuan's crossbow rushed forward rapidly, and bright sparks shot out from the place where it was hit by the black iron rod.
With a "bang" sound, the black-framed carriage exploded instantly.
Countless pieces of wood were flying, and a huge crossbow arrow was inserted into the ground on the left side.
On top of the ruined carriage, a young nobleman wearing a purple round-collared robe and a seven-beam crown sat in the center of the carriage.
A trace of blood seeped out from his left cheek, then dripped to the ground.
His cold and stern eyes instantly lifted up and were fixed on the city gate above.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed on the city gate tower.
The next moment, a slender cold arrow shot straight down from the city gate tower.
Compared to the earth-shattering power of Fuyuan's crossbow, the sudden cold arrow was silent and had hit Li Xuan's eyes in the blink of an eye.
Li Zhu, who was knocked to the ground by the powerful impact, looked extremely horrified when he saw this scene.
He tried hard to lift the iron rod in his hand, but the shot that missed the Fuyuan crossbow just now consumed almost all his strength.
Even the tiger's mouth has been torn apart.
But even so, he had endured the pain and slammed it upwards, and the next moment, the iron rod smashed away.
The cold arrow was faster than Li Zhu expected, and it had already shot in front of Li Xuan in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, a bright sword light suddenly appeared.
The extremely light sword light seemed to have turned into silk thread, and it was light and winding around the long arrow, and then slightly moved away.
The long arrow that rushed forward quickly circled around Li Xuan in the blink of an eye. Then, there was a sudden sound of wind and thunder, and the cold long arrow flew rapidly towards the city head in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, the long arrow had passed between the city battlements and nailed the city gate tower behind.
There was a "buzz" sound, and the long arrow trembled non-stop, leaving everyone stunned.
At this moment, an angry shout came from below: "Why are you still standing there, protect the prince!"
As he spoke, Yan Tao, who was tall and fierce and wearing fish scale armor, was already standing on the carriage, blocking Li Xuan's face.
The Tang sword at his waist was already unsheathed, and the sharp blade was pointed at the city gate. Yan Tao shouted loudly: "Go to the city, catch the thief, catch the thief."
The crowd reacted immediately and rushed towards the city gate with hula.
"There's no need to arrest him, he's gone!" A calm voice came from behind Yan Tao. He stretched out his hand and firmly pushed Yan Tao to one side. Li Xuan, who was wearing a purple Five Python Five Chapter suit, stepped forward with one step. He walked out, stood up, and was already shoulder to shoulder with Yan Tao.
At the same time, a hand stretched forward, and Li Zhu, who was lying on one side, was immediately pulled up.
Then, Li Xuan handed the Eight-sided Han Sword to Li Zhu's hand, and Li Zhu quickly twisted the long sword and the iron rod together.
A three-foot-long walking stick has appeared in Li Zhu's hand.
Li Xuan patted Yan Tao's shoulder from behind and said: "Okay, there is no danger anymore. You go down first and immediately lead people to control everyone up and down the entire city gate tower. Those who are there will be arrested immediately, and those who are not there will be sent. Catch him at home."
Yan Tao immediately turned around and raised his hands to Li Xuan: "I obey your order!"
Immediately, Yan Tao jumped out of the carriage, then waved his hand, and the soldiers around him immediately followed Yan Tao and headed towards the city gate tower.
Li Xuan turned around and looked at the military recorder Zhang Yi on one side, but he suddenly sneered: "Zhang Canjun, is this Wuzhou City still the Wuzhou City of the Tang Dynasty? Why did the king just come to Wuzhou, and there were people who immediately tolerated it?" I can’t help but take action, why, why can’t I, the king, come to this Wuzhou City?”
"I don't dare, I don't dare. It's the crime of being a lower-ranking official. I must, must..." Zhang Yi's mind suddenly went blank. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
"Forget it, it's none of your business. Since Sima and Fa Cao are not in the army, it's normal for the demons and ghosts to appear in Wuzhou City." Li Xuan turned her head and looked at Shen Tuo, whose face was slightly pale, and asked with concern Said: "Mr. Shen, are you okay?"
"My lord, I am fine. It's just that I have never encountered this kind of thing in my life." Shen Tuo's face was full of a wry smile.
He subconsciously looked at Yang Yan, Teng Yu and Qian Zhe, who all had equally embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Li Xuan encountered one after another at the gate of Wuzhou City. Such things were not only a slap in the face of Wuzhou officials, but also a slap in the face of many Wuzhou aristocratic families.
How do the people see it, how do the officials in other states see it, how do the central government and the saints see it.
"Fortunately for me, the rebels have not assassinated me once or twice, but this is the first time I am so impatient." Li Xuan could actually laugh easily at this moment.
Everyone present could not help but feel a sense of admiration for him.
Li Xuan turned to look at Yan Tao, who was already standing on the city gate, and sneered slightly: "Especially using the Fuyuan Crossbow, this is really the first time. I really don't want this king to step into Wuzhou City. !」
Fuyuan crossbow, an important weapon for defending the city.
The arms are made of mulberry, and the strings are mixed with silk tendons. The crossbow body has a bronze receiver with a built-in mechanism. The receiver has a mountain view, and is equipped with a special eight-inch fine steel-tipped crossbow arrow, which can shoot three hundred paces and penetrate heavy armor.
With huge lethality and long range, it has always been an important military weapon.
Even in the entire Wuzhou City, there are only one on the north gate and one on the central watchtower, and they have not been used for a long time.
Who would have thought that someone would use him to kill Li Xuan.
This kind of thing is already chilling just thinking about it.
"Mr. Shen, please listen to my advice. In the recent period, you should recuperate at home. If you have nothing else to do, you should not go out at will. It is best to restrain the children at home. When I have eliminated all these ghosts and monsters, I will ask Mr. Shen again. , and you all, how about drinking together?" Li Xuan turned her head and looked at Yang Yan, Teng Yu and Qian Zhe aside, with a cold look in her eyes.
"I obey the prince's order!" Shen Tuo, Yang Yan, Teng Yu and Qian Zhe bowed at the same time.
At this time, who has the time to think about the dinner?
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Li Zhu to one side and asked in a low voice, "Qiu Beishen, has no news been sent back yet?"
"Not yet!" Li Zhu held a long spear in his hand and subconsciously looked at the city gate: "Qiu Beishen should have chased the assassin."
When Li Zhu said this, everyone present suddenly remembered the Qianniu Guards who had been guarding Li Xuan.
"I forgot to introduce you to you. The person who was with me before was Zuo Qianniu Guard Qian Niu Guard Beishen Qiu Erlang. He is the grandson of Gong Qiu Gong of Meicheng County and the second son of Guoyi Duwei Qiu Shenyan. He is currently Zuo Qianniu Guard. There are thousands of cattle guards in the sixth rank, and his uncle Qiu Shenji was recently transferred to the post of Chief of the Shezhou Governor's Office."
Li Xuan looked back at the city gate and said worriedly: "The moment I escaped from danger just now, Brother Qiu has already chased the murderer. Maybe, at this time, Qiu Beishen has almost caught up with the murderer. Lair."
Li Xuan said one sentence, and everyone present suddenly had a trace of worry on their faces.
Li Xuan took in the changes in everyone's faces, but showed no expression at all.
At this moment, Yan Tao, a member of the Bing Cao army, led a group of Wuzhou soldiers and quickly came to Li Xuan. He raised his hands and said, "Go back."
Your Majesty, everyone above and below the city gate has been captured. "
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded slightly. For a moment, his expression turned completely indifferent. He turned to look at Du Bixing and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Du, now that Sima and Fa Cao are not here, I, as you once served as Because of the Sima of Wuzhou, I have temporarily appointed you to review the authority of the Wuzhou Dharma Cao. When Sima and the Dharma Cao return tomorrow, the authority will be returned to you. Are you willing to accept the order?"
Li Xuan stretched her right hand forward, and a black-gold arrow appeared in front of Du Bixing and everyone present in Wuzhou.
Without any hesitation, Du Bixing immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order."
The command arrow in Li Xuan's hand was turned to everyone present, and everyone immediately and solemnly raised their hands: "Follow the governor's order, and obey the farewell order!"
The news that Li Xuan holds the Wuzhou governor's order is not a secret at all among the real top families in Dongyang.
Although Li Xuan ordered the four checkpoints in Dongyang to be blocked, there were still many people traveling across the mountains and ridges.
What's more, there are also communication channels such as carrier pigeons. Although many details of what happened in Dongyang are not clear to outsiders, for Li Xuan once publicly displayed three arrows in court, all of these top aristocratic families in Wuzhou Know it well.
"This order of arrows is given to you. From now on, take the Qianniu Guards and identify the soldiers and guards at the four city gates of Wuzhou one by one. Clean out the Tianyin Cults among them. Those who are willing to disassociate themselves from the Tianyin Cult will be retained. , Those who are unwilling will be eliminated immediately, and those who resist will be killed immediately."
Li Xuan reached out and handed the governor's order arrow to Du Bixing's hand, and said coldly: "The method is still the same as we did in Dongyang. I don't care about anything else. Every gate in Wuzhou City is It needs to be under control and there should be no omissions.”
"I obey the order!" Du Bixing accepted it without any hesitation.
He was the Sima of Wuzhou before, and now he can only take over the affairs of Wuzhou Dacao temporarily.
After saying that, Du Bixing raised his hands to Li Xuan, then got on his horse and galloped towards the city gate.
Li Xuan waved his hand, and Zhou Qian, who was on the side, had already followed closely with a team of Qianniu Guards.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the Wuzhou aristocratic families couldn't help but change slightly.
The methods Li Xuan used to cut off ties with the Tianyin Sect were known to everyone in Dongyang City.
As soon as the Dongyang checkpoint was opened, the relevant news spread like flying.
Especially for some of the key points, there is currently incomplete information, and these are the key points that are most widely spread.
After a while, a figure was finally released by Qian Niuwei.
The middle-aged captain wearing a fine iron plate armor came to Li Xuan, raised his hands to Li Xuan and said: "Fan Ze, the captain of the city gate, has met the prince." Z.br>
Li Xuan's eyes swept over Fan Ze's head, and he couldn't help but sink slightly.
