The fire folder shook hard twice and blew hard again, and the flames burst out. Zangfeng immediately stuffed the fire folder under the felt cloth, where he had already stuffed a ball of oil-soaked rags. The fire had just begun.
When it ignited, he quickly put down the felt cloth and walked quickly to the side.
His heart was pounding, and he felt like he was suffocating. He glanced nervously at the stage. The clown was still performing hard, and the bolides were flying up and down in his hands. The three bolides seemed like three
The clown's hand was very steady when he saw the ring of fire. Zangfeng couldn't help but secretly screamed in shame. Compared with the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, his Qi nourishing skills were really far behind.
He glanced at the stands again. The lowest level of the stands was level with the stage, getting higher as it went back. Timur was sitting in the middle, but because the light there was too dark, he couldn't see his face clearly.
The location was very good. I could clearly see the performance on the stage, and the people on the stage could also see the people in the stands. However, with the firearm shooting distance at that time, it was impossible to accurately shoot a person in the stands.
For shooting, the firearms at that time did not have such accurate shooting accuracy. Neither did the bow and crossbow. Even the most powerful bow and crossbow could not shoot straight upward within this distance. It had to go in a parabola.
But the heads of the main figures in the stands were covered with arched wooden sheds.
To assassinate Timur, apart from instigating the rebellion of his personal attendants, perhaps only that magical little girl in the world can do it. Zangfeng once saw her magical invisibility, and she was in the tent, but when he walked in
When he went to the tent, he didn't see her at all. It wasn't until she came out on her own that Zangfeng was startled because Tang Saier was beside him at that time.
Of course, she needed to use some props, such as the color of clothes, but the stand had been built since the morning. At that time, Tang Saier ran over and watched the soldiers building the stand like an ordinary playful child.
, when she returned, three men disguised as tailors sent by Harry worked hard for a whole day, making four thin cloth cloaks according to her design requirements.
Zangfeng couldn't see her, which made him feel very relieved. Even if he, a caring person, couldn't see it, others would definitely not be able to see it. This little girl should have sneaked to Timur's side by now. He even saw,
The man who should be Timur raised his cup and was drinking heavily. The firelight in the distance reflected on his golden cup, shining brightly.
The fire at the cages was burning. These cages contained various simple props, clothes, and sundries that were not needed for tonight's performance. They were all flammable items, probably because they were covered with felt cloth.
Because of the fire, the fire was not big, but the smoke was not small, and the thick smoke drifted toward the stands along the wind.
Someone exclaimed: "It's on fire, it's on fire!"
The place where the fire started was particularly obvious in the night. Several people who were guarding the cages rushed over. Someone lifted the burning felt cloth and shouted to the ground. Flames rose into the sky and the fire spread quickly with the help of the wind.
.
"Quickly put out the fire! Quickly put out the fire! Why is there a fire?"
"It must be the bonfire lit by the soldiers on the sandy slope, and the sparks are falling down!"
While everyone was busy putting out the fire, some smart people began to shirk their responsibilities.
Zangfeng also ran over in a panic, busy putting out the fire like others. The soldiers on the sandy slope saw the fire below, but they did not rush down to put out the fire. What was burned was just some cages in the circus.
There were no other combustible items and it would not cause an out-of-control fire. Without the general's order, they just thought there was a bigger bonfire here. Who cares? There were even some soldiers who drank too much and saw how fierce the fire was.
, the smoke was billowing, I was so happy to see it, I clapped my hands and laughed.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two blasts of sound suddenly came from the roof erected above the cage, but the sound was not loud. After the fire started, the flames were blown by the wind, and the scene was noisy, so no one noticed at all, but the stands
But it immediately caused a sensation.
The fire here has been noticed by people in the stands, but even if it is burned down, it will not have any impact on other places. The atmosphere tonight is very joyful, and Timur is in a particularly good mood. He only glanced at it,
He frowned in displeasure, but did not give any instructions, so the other side of the stage just paused and then resumed the performance.
When the thick smoke filled the stands and caused a lot of coughing, Timur felt a little disappointed. He frowned and ordered: "Ask the soldiers on that side to help and put out the fire quickly. Don't disturb everyone's fun."
!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a person stood up next to him, ready to convey the Khan's order. At this moment, a servant walking by in the front aisle carrying a piece of roasted and fragrant beef suddenly fell to the ground with an oops, and the plate fell to the ground.
He flew out and smashed a plate of steaming roast beef into a general's face.
"Damn it, do you have eyes?"
The general was so burned that he screamed and struck the case angrily, but he only cursed and then screamed: "Assassins! There are assassins!"
At first, he thought that the servant was only looking at the fire under the side bleachers and stumbled. However, at a glance, he was shocked to see an arrow shaft as thick as a finger exposed under the fallen servant's ribs. The man had not yet
He was dying and groaning in pain. He didn't know that this man had been hit by a cold arrow, so he immediately screamed.
Almost at the same time, in the third row of seats, the wine jar next to a scholar shattered with a loud bang, and the wine splashed everywhere. The white-bearded old scholar was so drunk that his eyes were blurry, but it was not because the wine jar broke.
There was a fuss, but as soon as the wine jar was broken, there was a buzzing sound, like a swarm of wasps flying in. The scholar turned his head and saw a wolf-tooth arrow stuck close to his left arm in the wooden
The arrow feathers were still buzzing and trembling on the back of his chair.
The scholar was shocked when he saw him. He had already woken up from alcohol. Despite his age, he jumped up and down, as nimble as a civet cat. He suddenly fell onto the aisle and rolled away, crawling away.
While shouting loudly: "There are assassins! There are assassins! Protect the Khan!"
There was a loud sound of armor, and a dozen well-trained armored warriors rushed forward, holding shields and knives, protecting Timur in the middle. Several large shields blocked the wind and rain from all directions. In the middle
Two tall and strong warriors lifted Timur up, and just as he moved out of his seat, there was a clang, and three large shields protected his head, quickly moving to one side like a moving fortress.
There was a commotion in the stands. Everyone ducked down to avoid the cold arrows. Some brave ones stood up with their swords drawn and looked around for the enemy. At this time, the soldiers on the sandy slopes on both sides only saw chaos in the stands.
"We still don't know what happened. Some people stood up and stretched their necks to look here. There were also some drunken soldiers who were still talking, laughing and drinking while holding wine jars. They didn't pay attention to the surroundings or the stands.
changes that have occurred.
The clown who was performing on the stage also saw the chaos in the stands. How could he continue to perform calmly at this time? He stood there in a daze, looking a little confused. He didn't know whether to retreat to the backstage or continue.
Performance. The three fireballs used for the performance have fallen to the ground. The flames burned for a few times and became dying.
Zangfeng held a torn felt towel and pretended to put out the fire, but in fact he was fanning the flames and delaying the rescue of others. He kept looking at the movement in the stands from the corner of his eyes, when he suddenly saw a commotion in the stands.
The members were running wild and in chaos. They couldn't help but feel nervous and secretly screamed: "Oh no, maybe Tang Sai'er has exposed his hiding place and been discovered by others?"
Timur is already old, and one of his legs is lame, so he moves slowly, but the guards are worried that he will be attacked by enemies again, so they drag him to move very fast. The aisle is already narrow, with tables and chairs, and the ground
There were also wine jars that had been left indiscriminately. Timur was protected by two tall guards. The two rows of shield-wielding warriors on the left and right and in the front and back formed a mobile fortress, protecting him as he retreated so quickly that he could barely move.
As it hit the floor, Tiemu'er's knee bumped against the wine jar at the corner of the table, stool, and bruised several places, which was quite painful.
How often had Timur been so embarrassed in his life? Especially when he was forced to run away like this, he was as ridiculous as a child at the mercy of others. When he was dragged to the wide aisle of the side compartment where the seats were withdrawn, the suppressed anger finally broke out.
He stopped suddenly, struggled hard, and roared: "Let go! I'm right here, who can kill me?"
The guards did not dare to relax and still protected the surroundings from the wind and rain, but they did not dare to lift up the furious Timur. Tamerlane stroked his chest, gasped for air, waved it away in disgust and floated in front of him.
There was thick smoke, and he ordered angrily: "Catch the assassin and see me! Ahem..."
There was a general sitting next to the scholar who was almost hit by an arrow. He used the seat in front of him as a cover and was squatting there for cover. After hearing the angry roar of Emperor Timur, he looked at the arrow and looked at it.
After slightly comparing its angle, he pointed to the place where the fire started on the right front of the stand and shouted loudly: "The arrow was 'shot' from there. The assassin is at the place where the fire started. Send someone to catch him quickly!"
Timur pushed away the two guards guarding him with all his strength, glanced coldly at the place where the fire started, then looked at the chaotic stands, and said angrily: "One assassin scared the whole army into loss."
Are you horny? Everyone sit back and continue watching the show. Don’t make this matter public, and ask people to arrest everyone in the fire place and interrogate them immediately!"
Prime Minister Altusa heard this and said hurriedly: "Yes, I will obey the order, but...the Khan has a body worth millions of gold, and must not be involved in danger. Please go back to your tent and rest, otherwise, I will not dare to accept the order!"
Timur was old, and his eyesight, heart, spleen and lungs were all weakened, and he also had skin and blood diseases. His body was weak and cold, so he often needed beautiful girls to use their body temperature to warm his body. Due to his eating habits
He mainly eats meat and is addicted to alcohol. He also has chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and angina pectoris. At this time, when he was angry, he only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. It was really not suitable to stay any longer.
He waved his hands angrily and said: "No one can defeat me, not on the battlefield! Assassination is even more impossible! The assassin wants to catch him alive. I want to know who the real murderer is behind the scenes, and I want to kill his entire family!"
"Yes! My Majesty, please go back to the sweat tent and rest. The performance will continue, the carnival will continue, and the murderer will definitely be caught!"
"snort!"
Timur, who was in the midst of joy, suddenly encountered such a disappointing thing, and his face turned livid with anger. He waved his hand, turned around and walked down the stand. The guards around him held large shields and formed a box-shaped shield.
As he moves.
Altusa turned back, walked to Timur's seat, sat down on his knees, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone return to their seats, the performance will continue, and tonight's affairs are not allowed to be publicized!"
He pointed his hand towards the box cage on the side that had been suppressed with only sporadic flames left, and said coldly: "Arrest all those people! Everyone in the circus will be detained after the performance until the truth is revealed!"
