Outside the city.
Celebration site.
Yan Jiaoran stood on the high platform, waiting for Qin Yuan to get out of the car, but she was getting anxious, so she urged him, "Come out quickly, come out and see me."
The emperor personally invited them to come out.
This honor!
Only one appears every few hundred years.
Everyone was very excited.
Hold your breath!
Everyone focused their attention on the carriage, wanting to catch a glimpse of Murong Yanran!
Everyone's eyes were wide open, not daring to blink, for fear of missing something.
However--
They waited and waited.
Murong Yanran did not get out of the car.
Just when they were puzzled and wanted to compose a poem.
suddenly.
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
Two sharp sounds of breaking through the air broke the silent deadlock.
"Puff, bang!"
Two huge crossbow arrows pierced through the side of the large carriage. The huge impact force even made it difficult for the six handsome war horses to stabilize.
The entire carriage was overturned to the ground.
"Bed crossbow! Enemy attack!"
Li Dejian roared, jumped off his horse and hid under the carriage.
I've just recovered from the shock, but I'm still scared.
Fortunately, my eldest brother was indifferent to fame and fortune and resolutely refused, thus letting this tyrant emperor down.
Jinlian also jumped out from the corner, leaped onto the platform in a few steps, pressed Yan Jiaoran to the ground, and protected her under her body.
A crossbow arrow, one meter long, pierced through the deck of the carriage, and its momentum continued unabated, piercing the carriage in half and sticking into the ground.
The driver fell to the ground and the frame of the vehicle hit him hard, and he was dead.
Two crossbow arrows were lodged across the carriage frame, and the people inside looked gravely ill...
The sudden scene threw the people present into chaos, pushing and shoving each other, and the fleeing crowd collided heavily with each other aimlessly.
The Shen Ce Army, which was originally responsible for maintaining order, was instantly divided into three teams.
One team went straight to the platform to protect Yan Jiaoran, and the other team relied on their rich experience and went straight to the direction where the crossbow arrows might come from.
The other team drew their weapons, cautiously guarding against enemies that might come from nowhere.
At this moment, the situation was extremely chaotic and no one was in the mood to care about the people present.
The people were left without anyone to guide them, so they naturally became even more panicked, and the whole scene was in chaos.
What's more, in a panic, some people tripped over someone and fell to the ground.
But the chaotic crowd ignored him and kept stepping on him...
In such a horrible chaos, no one knew who took the lead in shouting.
"Protect Lord Murong!"
"Yes, protect Lord Murong!"
"Protecting Lord Murong, we will die with no regrets!"
"I have no regrets in death!"
“…”
In an instant, the chaos ended, and the fleeing people stopped and looked in the direction where the carriage landed.
Immediately afterwards, all the people suddenly seemed to have gained a backbone, shouting slogans of "Protect Lord Murong" and swarming over.
They surrounded the carriage in circles.
They surrounded the entire carriage in three layers, making it impossible to get out.
At this moment, all the people, regardless of gender, age or status, were staring angrily in front of them, wary of unknown enemies.
Perhaps in the next moment, crossbow arrows will streak across the sky and pierce their bodies.
Perhaps in the next moment, countless arrows will rain down from afar and take their lives.
Perhaps the next moment an army or a group of assassins will rush out with weapons in hand and head straight for Murong Yanran's position.
Although they had no weapons in their hands, the people of the Great Zhou, regardless of gender, age or status, all had expressions of tranquility on their faces, and were ready to die.
Although, they were just ordinary unarmed civilians.
They are also afraid of pain and death, but at this moment, they must stand up.
They must stand up to protect Murong Yanran, the great benefactor who abolished corvee labor!
They must stand up and use their flesh and blood to protect the lifesaver who solved the smallpox epidemic - Murong Yanran!
On the high platform.
Yan Jiaoran's eyes were red and tears kept pouring out of her eyes, like a stream, cascading down three thousand feet.
Her whole body was shaking, her lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were empty and desolate.
Dog man!!!
I shouldn't have let Jinlian tie you to the carriage.
You bastard, I am the one who harmed you!
No, no!
That bastard won’t die, he won’t die!
I won't let you die, you bastard!
Even though the entire carriage was overturned by the huge impact of the two crossbow arrows, even a god would have no chance of survival.
But Yan Jiaoran still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Thinking of this, she somehow mustered the strength to push open the golden lotus on her body.
He didn't care about his wrinkled and dirty robe, nor did he bother to tidy up his clothes, and ran down the platform.
"Quick, come and see what's happening to the dog man."
This was the only thought left in Yan Jiaoran's mind, and she ran as fast as she could.
Looking at Yan Jiaoran's back, Jinlian's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
In the end, he shut his mouth and followed Yan Jiaoran.
Yan Jiaoran didn't care about the emperor's demeanor, nor did she scold the people for being rude in front of the emperor. She rushed straight into the crowd and struggled to get to the front of the carriage.
Her heart was pounding.
It has been so long, but Qin Yuan has not come out, and no groans of pain have been heard.
The result has actually been noted...
However, she doesn't believe in evil!
This dog man is a banished immortal!
How could a dignified immortal be killed by just two crossbows?
