Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

When Zhao Yuan saw Zhong Shidao like this,

I couldn't resist dismounting to greet them.

Zhong Shidao saw through Zhao Yuan's actions.

He hurriedly shook his head slightly.

He quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, King Liang."

Lu Zhishen and the others behind him also followed suit and paid their respects.

The barbarians around them also chimed in with their own opinions.

They greeted each other with strange and unusual accents.

Zhao Yuan acted out of character.

Seated on his horse, he spoke with an air of authority.

"No need for formalities, let's go into town."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhong

He hurriedly stepped aside.

Make way for the King of Liang.

The barbarians retreated to the roadside.

However, he curiously observed the King of Liang, whom the old strategist had described as a "god descended to earth."

He sat atop a jade lion that stood over eight feet tall, from its hooves to its spine.

Zhao Yuan then appeared even taller and more imposing.

The sunlight reflected off the golden armor

It was so striking that people nearby couldn't even look at it directly.

Chapter 1832 Assassination

Therefore, wherever Zhao Yuan went

The foreigners on the roadside all bowed their heads.

When Zhao Yuan arrived,

Zhong Shidao then led a group of Liang generals and tribal leaders back to the city.

When we were still five miles from the city,

A signal arrow suddenly appeared in the distance.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly pierced the sky.

Everyone found the arrival of the signal arrow suspicious.

They couldn't help but become vigilant.

Zhong Shidao also said to Zhao Yuan, "King Liang, be careful."

"boom!"

"boom!"

As soon as Master Zhong finished speaking,

About five or six zhang away from the roadside,

A plot of land was suddenly lifted up.

Five people jumped out from there.

He aimed his crossbow at Zhao Yuan, who was leading the charge, and pulled the trigger.

Five sharp arrows were then shot toward Zhao Yuan.

Then the five men charged at Zhao Yuan with sharp blades in hand.

This is exactly what suicide squads do.

anyway,

They could not escape.

So they didn't even think about running away.

They charged straight at them.

If the crossbow failed to kill the target

They could then eliminate the target before the guards could react.

Seeing this, everyone became very anxious.

Five powerful crossbowmen attacked at close range.

No one can escape it.

Moreover, the crossbows of the Western Xia were very powerful at close range.

A distance of five or six zhang is enough to pierce any solid armor.

"what!"

Zhong Shidao let out a desperate cry.

Unexpectedly, his plan hadn't even been implemented yet.

It's about to fail.

Damn Western Xia assassins!

Damn soldiers,

I clearly instructed them to carefully inspect the roads along the way.

This was to prevent Western Xia assassins from killing the Liang King.

The Western Xia people wanted to dig pits there to hide.

It will take some time.

The excavated soil always needs a place to be disposed of.

These are all flaws that can be discovered.

Those damned soldiers.

If the King of Liang dies,

You won't have an easy time either.

Just when everyone thought that King Liang was doomed,

Zhao Yuan sneered.

His right hand was slipped into the deerskin glove on the saddle.

A quick swipe in mid-air,

He then grabbed all five crossbow bolts.

After hearing Ren Liang's account of the Western Xia assassins,

So they remained on guard.

Although the journey was uneventful

However, Zhao Yuan became even more cautious.

The place closest to the finish line,

People's vigilance will be at its lowest.

It is also a place where many assassins strike.

Therefore, Zhao Yuan specially prepared this pair of gloves.

He wanted to wait for the foolish Western Xia people to come to him so he could establish his authority.

Zhao Yuan glanced at the five men who had already pounced on him.

With a wave of his arm,

Five arrows flew out.

Three of them are in the center.

The three men who were hit by arrows immediately rolled over and fell to the ground.

His face turned pale.

The crossbow bolts were clearly poisoned.

Just as Zhao Yuan was considering how to stylishly eliminate the remaining two,

Suddenly, one of them raised his hand.

Zhao Yuan didn't have time to think further when he saw it.

Lifted up on horseback

Two kicks in succession,

He then kicked the two of them to the ground.

Then it floated down to the ground.

Both men's necks were broken by kicks.

He died with his head drooping dramatically.

Just then, Zhong Shidao, Lu Zhishen, and the others rushed over.

Prepare to protect King Liang.

Their actions were all subconscious.

He still felt that the King of Liang was likely to die from crossbow bolts.

But seeing King Liang trapped in a "deadly situation,"

Suddenly displaying extraordinary power,

Not only did he catch five crossbow bolts at once,

He killed five people in the blink of an eye.

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yuan kicked away the hand of the person who had raised it.

A cloud of blue iron filings flowed onto the ground.

Judging by its color, it's clearly a highly poisonous substance.

Once he releases it...

He could only hide behind the Jade Lion.

The Jade Lion that shines at night will inevitably be lost.

Zhong Shidao breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately kneel down on the ground.

“This wicked subject deserves to die for allowing Western Xia assassins to infiltrate here and kill the Prince of Liang.”

Zhao Yuan hurriedly helped Zhong Shidao up.

"My husband must be focusing all his attention on the front lines,"

"I just overlooked this area,"

"What crime have you committed? Get up now."
