The assassin is very well prepared, just to kill with one strike.
Under the rain of arrows, the guards suffered heavy casualties, which made Shen Yan's scalp numb.
Dozens of people jumped out from the dark jungle.
These people were all dressed in black and had their faces covered. They obviously didn't intend to leave any traces. Shen Yan even saw that some of them could shoot arrows while running. They were obviously great masters.
"Stop them!"
At this point, Shen Yan had no other choice but to fight to the end.
Several arrows were fired one after another, obviously the target was Li Ji. Shen Yan slashed left and right with his knife, barely able to protect himself, but his arm was numb from the shock.
The number of assassins far exceeded that of the guards, which made their side fall into a bitter battle from the beginning.
Knowing that if the love continued, Shen Yan would make a decisive decision and immediately jumped on the carriage and stabbed the horse in the butt.
The horse pulling the cart was in pain and immediately roared and ran wildly.
The combined momentum of the car and the horse was so huge that people around him were frightened and fled away.
Only those assassins seemed to be unafraid of death, and they rushed over one after another, trying to block the way.
Even though Shen Yan was a civil servant, he had extraordinary martial arts skills. Standing alone in front of the car, he actually killed five assassins in succession.
Seeing that the enemies in front of him were gradually thinning out, and it seemed that they would be able to break out of the encirclement soon, Shen Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed.
However, the enemy had painstakingly set up such a killing trap, so how could he easily escape?
A loud whistling sound suddenly came from mid-air on both sides.
Shen Yan looked up and couldn't help but feel the ghost of death.
I saw a giant tree with the thickness of a man on both sides crashing into the air, heading straight for the carriage. If they collided with each other, the car would be destroyed and everyone would be killed.
Shen Yan didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed into the car, hugged the lost Li Ji and threw himself out from behind.
Amidst the deafening smashing sound, a good carriage was turned into pieces, but the horse pulling the carriage was not dead for a while.
Because the carriage was destroyed and suddenly lost its pulling power, the injured horse flew directly sideways, kicking up dust along the way.
In the end, all that was left was a faint neighing sound, as if he was reluctantly asking for help.
However, in the killing field of humans, who can care about a poor horse?
Shen Yan also fell badly and stood up unsteadily. But before his footing was stable, there was a bang in the grass.
In the thick white smoke, a blood hole suddenly appeared on Shen Yan's thigh. He screamed and fell to the ground.
Severe cold sweat covered his body, but Shen Yan had no time to feel it.
He was desperate.
The assassin actually has a musket in his hand, how can he resist?
He tried his best to turn his head, and sure enough he saw the assassin jumping out of the grass with a musket in his hand, and there was still a faint smoke left.
He would never admit that it was a unique musket of North Korea.
Li Ji was powerless and was already frightened by the assassination. He just followed Shen Yan instinctively, hoping to be protected.
At this time, seeing Shen Yan fall to the ground after being shot, Li Ji immediately let out a scream, turned around and ran away.
Before he could take two steps, there was a flash of cold light in the distance, like lightning, and then an arrow pierced his throat.
Li Ji was carried backwards by the potential energy of the arrow and fell heavily to the ground.
His pupils gradually began to dilate, filled with disbelief.
He was going to be the king. He had not yet enjoyed the glory and wealth. How could he die here?
This must not be true!
The arrow stuck in his throat, making his breathing uncomfortable.
He tried hard to raise his hand and try to pull out the arrow.
But when my hand was only raised an inch, I could no longer feel the extra strength.
Li Ji's mouth began to gush with blood bubbles, and his body began to become harder and harder. Finally, his head tilted, and the king's dream was completely shattered.
After falling to the ground and witnessing the whole process, Shen Yan was filled with grief and anger, and his head kept hitting the ground.
The assassins rushed over, even stabbed Li Ji's body a few times, and then walked away.
The candidate for king recommended by Shen Qiyuan was assassinated on the way to Hanyang. This incident quickly caused an uproar.
"Your Highness must make decisions for your subordinates and others! The treacherous ministers and traitors have committed such a beastly act that is outraged by both humans and gods. If they do not repay justice, the country will be ruined."
People from Shen Qiyuan's group gathered in front of Zuo Mengeng and complained.
Shen Qiyuan was wailing loudly, his eyes were about to burst, and he almost wanted to choose someone to devour.
When something like this happened, Zuo Mengeng's face naturally became extremely ugly.
After all, it was within the control of the Xia army, and the candidate for the crown prince was assassinated. This was obviously a slap in the face of the Xia Kingdom.
"Such evil deeds cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth. If we don't investigate to the end and punish the villains, how can we explain it to the world?"
Zuo Mengeng looked at Guo Ting.
"Do you have any clues?"
Guo Ting's eyes had already turned red.
As the director of the North Korea Division of the Ministry of Intelligence, an accident occurred in his best field, and he cannot escape the blame.
"My subordinates and others obtained some evidence after on-site investigation. The weapons used by the assassins were all produced in North Korea. In addition, the identity of the assassin who died was also confirmed. He may be a bandit from Jinwu Mountain."
As soon as the words fell, the scene immediately became strange.
Everyone in Shen Qiyuan's family looked like this, while people in Song Shilie's family couldn't help but be astonished.
The injured Shen Yan struggled and lay on the ground, shouting angrily.
"Your Highness, please make the decision for me and others. Otherwise, even if I die, I won't be able to meditate!"
Zuo Mengeng frowned and felt a headache.
Nowadays, people in Shen Qiyuan's family have obviously lost their minds and just want revenge. But what the situation is, it is obviously not yet time to draw a conclusion.
The only thing that is certain is that from now on, there will be no peace in North Korean politics.
These damn assassins have made a bad start, and there will definitely be bloodshed in the future.
What should we do to calm down the incident quickly?
Before he could figure it out, someone came in to inform him.
"Your Highness, Jin Yanshu heard that something happened and has rushed back. Please come in and see him."
Kim Sang-hyun was not in Hanyang during this period, but was busy with the burial arrangements for his brother Kim Sang-young.
But when such a big thing happened, how could he, as a political leader, turn a blind eye?
"Please bring the golden judgement."
Zuo Menggen actually didn't want Kim Sang-hyun to show up at this time, but he had no reason to turn people away.
With his permission, Kim Sang-hyun strode in wearing plain clothes.
He was traveling day and night, covered in dust, and looked very embarrassed. But the worry deep in his expression showed that he had realized something.
Sure enough, when she saw him appearing, Shen Yan, who had narrowly escaped death, was the first to be unable to bear it any longer.
"Evil thief, please accept your fate!"
He struggled and jumped up, trying to pounce on Jin Sangxian.
Not only him, but all the people from Shen Qiyuan's family swarmed forward, wanting to attack Jin Sangxian.
Hong Yihan and others were also present. How could they not allow their leader to be attacked, so they immediately rushed forward.
The two groups of people were pushing and shoving, shouting and cursing, and the whole scene became a complete mess.
People from Song Silie's group stood far away. Although they stayed out of the incident, they obviously couldn't accept the current situation.
