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

He was already in a state of utter confusion and didn't notice Zhao Ji's unusual behavior.

"What are you all standing there for? Seize that murderous thief!"

Tong Guan roared angrily at the Kaifeng Prefecture constables who were maintaining order around the arena.

"Captain, shall we go?" a constable asked.

"Go to hell! This man killed a Jurchen and avenged us Song people!"

The head constable of Kaifeng Prefecture said in an annoyed tone.

"If you dare to go now, believe me, all these villagers around here will curse us to death!"

"Furthermore, this man is so powerful and ruthless; he must be a member of the outlaws. Even the Jurchen warriors are no match for him. Are we going to go up there and die?"

"But the person upstairs keeps shouting."

One of the constables glanced at Tong Guan on the third floor and said, "Judging from his clothes, he must be either rich or noble."

"Even if he really is a high-ranking official in the imperial court, he hasn't revealed his identity yet,"

The head constable sneered, "Why should we listen to him? We can't expect everyone who's dressed well to serve us, can we?"

At the head constable's signal, all the constables began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Zhao Yuan glanced at Zhao Ji twice,

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Liu Huiniang in the audience suddenly exclaimed.

Jiao Ting shouted anxiously, "Brother, be careful!"

Before Zhao Yuan could react, he felt someone suddenly shove him.

Immediately following was the sound of an arrow piercing flesh!

What happened in the blink of an eye stunned everyone present!

A moment later,

Liu Huiniang exclaimed in surprise, "Cousin!"

Zhao Yuan stared blankly at Chen Liqing, who had shielded him from the arrow, before he finally understood what had just happened!

It turned out to be the only golden statue remaining on the stage.

Take advantage of Zhao Yuan's turn and launch a surprise attack with a bow and arrow!

"Are you OK?"

Zhao Yuan quickly caught Chen Liqing, who was already unsteady on her feet and about to fall to the ground.

"I'm fine!"

Chen Liqing covered her right chest with one hand, where a feathered arrow was stuck!

With his other hand, he shoved Zhao Yuan hard.

"I'm not going to die, what are you looking at me for? Go kill that guy and avenge me!"

"elder brother!"

At this moment, Jiao Ting also helped Liu Huiniang onto the arena.

Zhao Yuan handed Chen Liqing over to the two men to take care of, then slowly got up.

He walked expressionlessly toward the last remaining golden statue!

After Wanyan Zongwang fired an arrow,

Seeing that the stunningly beautiful woman had blocked his way with her body,

He was furious and immediately reached for his quiver.

He drew the arrow and drew the bow in one swift motion!

With a "thud" of the bowstring, the arrow shot towards Zhao Yuan like lightning!

The two were only about ten steps apart.

There was no way this arrow could miss!

Wanyan Zongwang could already picture Zhao Yuan falling to the ground, wounded by an arrow!

However, what happened next made his eyes widen in shock!

Just as the arrow was about to strike Zhao Yuan's chest,

But it suddenly stopped.

Because its arrow shaft was firmly held by a large hand!

"This...this is impossible..."

Wanyan Zongwang was dumbfounded. He had done something like holding a stray arrow before.

But that was all on the battlefield.

The archers were all a full twenty-three zhang away from him.

Like now,

They were only ten paces apart, yet they could still grasp the incoming arrows in their hands.

Even their greatest warrior of the Jurchens probably couldn't do that!

Thinking of this,

Then he saw Zhao Yuan, arrow in hand, walking towards him step by step.

Wanyan Zongwang was already terrified.

He quickly turned around and was about to jump off the stage and blend into the crowd to escape!

But unexpectedly, while the person was still in mid-air,

He felt a sudden, sharp pain in his thigh, looked down, and...

There was an arrow stuck in the back of his thigh!

Looking at the markings on the arrow shaft, it was clearly the very arrow he had just shot!

How can this be?

How could that person have hit me when he wasn't carrying a bow and arrow?

Wanyan Zongwang was filled with doubt, and then he suddenly made a "plop" sound!

He fell straight to the ground!

When he managed to stand up, supporting himself on the edge of the ring,

Zhao Yuan had already walked up to him!

"How...how did you shoot that arrow?"

Wanyan Zongwang stammered, asking in broken Chinese...

Zhao 2.0 Yuan didn't speak, he just waved his hand.

"This arrow was thrown by hand?"

Wanyan Zongwang was utterly shocked.

Zhao Yuan remained completely unmoved.

The arrow he just threw was using the same technique as Qiong Ying's flying stone technique.

It can still injure someone within ten steps or so.

Further away, it won't have much power left.

"You've said your last words, now die!"

Zhao Yuan gave a cold shout, and the iron hammer in his hand was already raised.

Upon seeing this, Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly shouted, "You can't kill me! I am the leader of the Jurchen tribe, the second son of Wanyan Aguda! The future second prince of the Jurchens!"

Wanyan Zongwang?

Wasn't he the one who destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty ten years or so later?

Zhao Yuan was immediately stunned!

Chapter 282 His eyes suddenly shone with brilliance!

Upon hearing that Wanyan Zongwang had revealed himself to be the second son of the Jin leader and the future second prince of the Jin state,

The surrounding crowd immediately erupted in commotion.

Zhao Ji and Tong Guan, who were on the Fanlou Tower, were also filled with surprise.

The former was surprised that the golden prince had concealed his identity and blended into the envoy's group.

The latter, however, became anxious.

That's the prince of the Golden Man!

If he were also killed by the Song people on Song territory,

How can the Song-Jin alliance be negotiated then?

Without the Song-Jin alliance, how could the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun have been recovered?

And his own royal title?

It concerns his own title,

Tong Guan, however, has learned his lesson this time.

He immediately leaned out the window and shouted loudly to the yamen runners downstairs, "I am Tong Guan, the Grand Tutor and Duke of Jing! Seize that thief immediately! We cannot allow him to harm the Jurchen prince!"

The head constable of Kaifeng Prefecture, seeing that Tong Guan had revealed his identity and hearing that the matter involved a prince from another country,

Knowing the matter was of great importance, they dared not delay any longer and immediately led a large number of constables to surround the area.

However, the way Zhao Yuan had swiftly and decisively killed the Jin warriors still instilled a deep sense of fear in the hearts of the 18 of them.

After they surrounded them, the head constable didn't dare to make the first move, but instead tried to persuade them.

"Brave warrior, this Jurchen man is of noble status. Please, show him mercy! If he dies, the authorities will certainly not let you off the hook!"

When Wanyan Zongwang saw the large group of Song officials surrounding him...

Seeing that Zhao Yuan remained silent,

He thought Zhao Yuan was afraid of his identity.

He immediately smiled smugly.

"If you Song people still want to form an alliance with us Jin people and want to reclaim your former northern territories, then kill him immediately!"

Upon hearing this,

The head constable of Kaifeng Prefecture immediately cried out in alarm, his only thought being to find some horse manure to smear the mouth of this Jurchen prince!

“My brave warrior, this golden prince may be a little confused,”

As the constable spoke, he hurriedly gestured for his men to step forward.

But unexpectedly, as soon as his constables moved,

Zhao Yuan then raised the iron hammer in his hand again!

"Brave warrior, you'd better think this through! If you kill him, you'll surely face a thousand cuts!"

The constable hurriedly shouted.

Zhao Yuan simply ignored him.

His momentary daze was simply due to the sight of the golden statue before him.

He was the one who created the humiliation of Jingkang.

Zhao Yuan had indeed considered releasing Wanyan Zongwang just now.

When he conquers Bianliang in the future,

I wonder what Zhao Ji's expression will be then!
