For the first time in his life, Emperor Yonglong realized the approaching danger.
From the prince to the emperor, he has experienced ups and downs, and he is not an incompetent scholar. Logically speaking, a hunt like this is nothing to him. Even though he is older, but he has been around since he was a child.
The polished body bones are more than enough to cope with such a hunt.
Over the years, he has also encountered various unexpected accidents, but none of them were as sudden and strange as today.
Intuition doesn't lie. He had a hunch that something like this today seemed unusual.
Wu Zui under his crotch looked particularly excited and agitated. The wild boar's death struggle seemed to stimulate it, making it become manic and restless. Even if he held the reins, he could not control it at all. Even if he escaped the wild boar's impact,
The wild boar fled again, but Wu Zui was still unable to control it. Instead, it roared and jumped wildly, as if it had been attacked.
At the same time, what made Emperor Yonglong even more uneasy was that he noticed the discomfort in his body. His whole body suddenly felt a little exhausted, and he was sweating profusely, and his muscles and bones were weak and weak. This was unprecedented.
This series of galloping made him a little tired, but he knew his body very well. Although the amount of activity during this period of running was relatively large, if he wanted to sweat, it would only be some sweat on his forehead and back. Why?
Now he felt like he was sweating profusely on his waist, legs, and crotch, and he also felt dizzy. This was obviously not normal.
As soon as the reins were loosened in his hands, Emperor Yonglong felt a chill in his heart. The black horse under his crotch had separated from the wild boar and ran wildly along the river valley. The violent bumps intensified the collapse of Emperor Yonglong's body...
Emperor Yonglong subconsciously wanted to rein in the horse, but he felt that he had lost his strength, and his eyes were dizzy and darkened. He had to bite his lips hard, stimulating himself with the stinging and bloody smell, which made him feel uncomfortable.
You can stay awake on your own.
He knew very well that if he fell from the horse like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to get up again in the future.
What exactly went wrong? Didn't I arrange everything myself? This shouldn't be the case.
Countless faces flowed past like water in front of Emperor Yonglong, the loyal and arrogant Li Kezhuo, the submissive and feminine Cui Wensheng, the honest and dull Cheng'an, the respectful and honest Zhou Peisheng, the increasingly estranged Qiu Shi'an, and those few faces.
The dimples that used to be more charming than others on the pillow, and the faces of several sons who were vigorous but somewhat ambitious, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear...
…
"Xi Lv Lv" A sound of horses neighing came along the valley road, and all the people who were ambush tensed up.
They have been preparing for this assassination for a month, and have done countless separate attack drills before. Where the target comes from, how many guards are around, who will deal with the guards, and who will be responsible for the assassination, they have all been drilled.
Countless times, every time we have to achieve perfection and strive to be foolproof.
But what shocked them was that there was only one horse galloping along the valley road, and the man on the horse was swaying, as if he had been attacked. This made Feng Shimian, Su Delun and others frightened. Could it be that they had already been attacked?
Someone took action before his group?
Or is it not the goal at all?
But judging from the dress of the person on the horse, it matches the information obtained and is clearly the target.
Before they had time to think about it, Feng Shimian and Sudilun immediately became nervous. The crossbows in their hands were already ready, with the twisters on and the crossbow bolts on the bow.
Emperor Yonglong only felt that his eyes were dazzled and his body was even more weak. The irritable Wu Zui Ma brought him here aimlessly, and the guard Jianxia Jianma who had been following behind him was obviously not as able to run as Wu Zui, so he was
Lost far away.
He tried his best to rein in the horse, trying to slow it down. He already realized that he could no longer control his body, but if he fell off the horse at such a speed, he would probably lose his skin even if he died.
So he could only hope that the horse would slow down so that the guards behind him could catch up and help him control it.
Seeing that the Wuzui horse entered the ambush circle, and the horses behind them had already caught up, Feng Shimian and Sudilun could no longer care about anything else. This was the opportunity, and if they missed it, it might never be possible again.
Several figures rose up from the trees and grass, flew down, or ran close to the ground, all heading straight for Emperor Yonglong on Wuzui.
The mounted guards at the back were obviously aware of the danger, and they flew up from their horses desperately, shouting angrily: "How dare you, the thief!" and swooped towards them.
Emperor Yonglong was dizzy and blurred, and he saw several figures rushing towards him in the air. Some of them were holding knives, some were holding crossbows, and they had murderous intent on their faces. It was obvious that they were not here to save him.
At this moment, Emperor Yonglong was a little confused. He had searched the Shenshu Camp in this area several times. Before he went hunting today, the Banner Guards and the Four Guards Camps had also checked it again. They all said that there was nothing unusual. How could so many people suddenly come out?
Someone comes to assassinate you?
What is going on? What on earth are the Shangsanqinjun and Longjingwei doing?
Strings rang in the air, and crossbow arrows erupted in an instant, surrounding Emperor Yonglong's figure.
Emperor Yonglong had already fallen into a dazed state at this time, and his body had already fallen off his horse crookedly before the crossbow arrows approached, and he barely managed to avoid most of the crossbow arrows, except for two.
It hit the armor around Emperor Yonglong's waist. It was not clear for a moment whether it hit the vital part or not.
Emperor Yonglong's body finally fell down, and his helmeted head hit the ground heavily. He was dragged a few steps by the Wuzui horse that was still running wildly, and then his body suddenly landed on the ground.
At the moment when Emperor Yonglong fell from his horse, several of the guards who were following him had already flown forward, and they clashed with Feng Shimian and Su Delun in the air.
As gold and iron clashed, sparks flew everywhere.
Seeing more than ten people swooping in from behind, both Feng Shimian and Su Delun realized that this assassination could only end here. The guards around Emperor Yonglong were all carefully selected master guards, and they were not ordinary people.
Even if they can compete, they are still unsure.
After a whistle, a few people who had been hiding in the bushes as cover suddenly sprang out, and the crossbows in their hands spurted out "bang bang bang bang" continuously, forming a dense net of crossbow arrows. At the same time, Feng Shimian and Su Delun
Others also suddenly fell to the ground, rolled over, and got into the grass.
Some of the surrounding guards separated to rescue Emperor Yonglong, who had fallen to the ground unconscious, while the other group of people attacked the group of assassins. They knew very well that if they could not catch this group of assassins, they would have an explanation, regardless of whether Emperor Yonglong
Whatever their fate, their fate has been determined.
While Feng Shimian Sudelun and his party were fighting to the death with the palace guards, six people in the birch forest twenty feet away from them were struggling.
You can clearly see that the five musket heavy fire cannons that have been set up are placed on special stands, which are also commonly known as turtle dove cannons. They are already aiming at the only way forward twenty feet away. If it weren't for this
Unexpectedly, as planned, when the target passed this line, they who were ambushing in the woods could easily make a perfect shot.
"These damn White Lotus Sect!"
One person in front couldn't help but scolded in a deep voice, "If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you can!"
The other people were silent, the distance was too far, and they had no way of starting.
Their standard preparation is also to face the valley road directly below the mountain. Moreover, this heavy-duty firecracker is too heavy and must be erected with special brackets, otherwise one person cannot lift it at all.
In order to ensure nothing went wrong, they dispatched a group of five people to prevent Yonglong Emperor from being protected by guards. The goal needed to be achieved after one round of shooting, so they set up a position here early to ensure a one-hit kill.
Who would have thought that people from the White Lotus Sect would be the first to cut off?!
It's just a matter of cutting off the beard first. You have to succeed in one fell swoop. To actually get such a nondescript result.
The emperor was defeated, but they couldn't tell whether the opponent's assassination was successful or not, but looking at the posture, it seemed a bit suspenseful.
Now there are more and more guards and flag bearers, and people from the Fourth Guard Battalion have followed. They are about to start a large-scale search. If they don't leave, even if someone comes to help them, they will be in a lot of trouble.
"Let's go! If you don't go, it will be too late. Go back the way you came!"
At that moment, the man was so angry that he was gnashing his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. The only consolation was that he saw Emperor Yonglong fall from his galloping horse. With Emperor Yonglong's body of over fifty years old, this fall would probably cost him half of his life.
, it depends on whether God will accept him or not.
"Sir, these firecrackers...?" Two of them were still a little reluctant to part with these heavy Musketi firecrackers.
These were specially bought from Luzon, and each one cost forty or fifty taels of silver.
They are all professional fire gunners. They have trained for this kind of heavy fire gun for half a year. They have really fallen in love with this kind of turtle dove gun or book eagle bill gun that can shoot as far as two hundred meters. It can shoot at a distance of fifty to eighty meters.
Not only is the power doubled, ordinary plate armor can be easily penetrated, but the shooting accuracy can also be greatly improved.
According to today's ambush distance, if the five Musikti focus on the target and shoot, they are very sure that they can kill in one blow.
It's a pity that such a good opportunity was ruined by those White Lotus Cult members.
"Throw it away." The person at the moment said without hesitation: "We can't take it with us, so we can only travel lightly. These firecrackers are all bought from Nanyang anyway, and we are not afraid of being spotted by Captain Long.
They can't find out where this came from. If our people are captured by Long Jinwei, we will be in trouble. Let's leave quickly!"
The group of people dropped five racks of musket, and then sprinkled some medicine to annihilate their own breath to prevent hounds from tracking them. Then they quickly got into the woods and disappeared without a trace.
