Chapter 47 The Darkness in the Sun [Part 1]

On November 11, the hot weather seemed to have eased a lot because of the upcoming winter, and it had a bit of late spring.

Song Renzong and Liu E went to the Tokyo Stadium to watch the game. There were huge flags, and the knights stopped and showed their mighty power. Ban Zhi was black and red, with a long spear in one hand and a cast iron beast shield in the other, making people feel a sense of awe-inspiring aura.

This naturally attracted many people from Bianliang City to watch, and many people wanted to pay tribute to the beauty of Song Renzong and Liu E. However, this is not a movie. Song Renzong and Liu E both have very high safety levels. They travel with closed carriages, and not one. Song Renzong and Liu E each have three carriages of the same style, and no one can know in advance which one they were taking when they were traveling. Until the moment they went out, Song Renzong and Liu E would choose a carriage as their carriage. The other two naturally served as cover.

If Song Renzong showed his face at will, a powerful crossbow would be enough to cause chaos in the Song Dynasty. Although it is not easy to get a powerful crossbow, it is not completely impossible. Especially for some major forces, they can even build a powerful crossbow on their own.

Originally, Song Renzong asked Zhao Jin to go to the Tokyo Stadium together, but Zhao Jin was too lazy to rush to Xuande Gate to wait for Song Renzong. Besides, with Song Renzong, they had to behave properly. Those censors were staring at each other like evil wolves. For Zhao Jin, who always acted on his own character, going to the Tokyo Stadium with Song Renzong was a cause of suffering. How could he be willing?

Zhao Feng was used to traveling but did not bring many people. Only Cao Feiliang, Shu Tong Song Xing, personal eunuch Xiao Xuanzi, and five imperial guards.

If it weren't for the fear of being looked down upon and ridiculed by others, Zhao Jin wouldn't be too lazy to bring so many people there. He was arrogant and domineering and arrogant, not what Zhao Jin liked to do. In Zhao Jin's opinion, it would be too superficial to elevate himself through such means.

As we walked, the group came to Taiping Street, which was directly to Baokangmen. Although the Baokangmen area is a slum in Bianliang City, the slums are not all bad. The Taiping Street is quite flat and wide. Although the road is not paved with bluestone slabs, it is also a solid loess road. Even if many carriages pass by on weekdays, they only leave shallow tracks. Walking on the horses does not make the people on the horse's back feel bumpy.

But if you want to say it is not good, there are really bad things, that is, there are many people going to Tokyo Stadium from here, which makes Taiping Street dusty. Zhao Qian couldn't help but cover his sleeves with his nose, frowned and slowly rode his horse forward.

Cao Feiliang couldn't help it first and complained: "Young Master, if we had known this, we would have walked the Bian River! Take a boat from the Bian River through Dongshuimen to the Tokyo Stadium, and there is no need to eat dust here!"

Zhao Qian glanced at Cao Feiliang and said, "You just thought of it! How many nobles and nobles are traveling with their female relatives now? They are all on boats. When they passed by, you saw how crowded the Bian River was. If you took a boat, you might not be able to get to the Tokyo Stadium!"

Cao Feiliang smiled angrily and stopped talking.

Zhao Qian was too lazy to speak. Now the dust is flying, and he has to risk taking a few breaths of dust when he says something. However, it is boring to stay there right away. Zhao Qian looked up and watched the nearby scenery.

Suddenly, Zhao Qian saw a dazzling flash. For some reason, an indescribable premonition suddenly emerged in his heart. Zhao Qian quickly lowered his head. At this moment, he already understood!

That thing should be a weapon. It should be noted that although there are shops in Taiping Street, these shops are relatively simple because the place is backward. The tiles laid on the roof are not the kind of glazed ones. They are just simply fired tiles, with rough and dull surfaces. Under the sunlight, it is naturally impossible to emit such dazzling light.

Zhao Jin's premonition was right. When the assassin saw that Zhao Jin seemed to have discovered him, he was immediately angry. However, he still calmly pulled the trigger, "Swoosh!" The sound of the crossbow arrow breaking through the air could be vaguely heard on the street where people were buzzing. This shows how terrifying the strength of this powerful crossbow bowstring is!

Because Zhao Jin was lying on the back of the horse, the crossbow arrow did not hit Zhao Jin and crossed over Zhao Jin. An imperial soldier who was following Zhao Jin was in trouble, and the crossbow arrow pierced into his waist. The imperial soldier screamed in pain, and the war horse was frightened, and the neighing sounded loudly, overturning the imperial soldier to the ground.

The other imperial soldiers immediately looked tense and exclaimed: "There are assassins!"

However, their number is too small, with only four people in total, and one of them is still alive and dead. Even if it falls off the horse's back, it's okay, but it still loses its combat effectiveness.

The people on the streets were in chaos. The Song Dynasty had been peaceful for decades, especially Bianliang City, as the capital of a country, and security was the top priority. The war closest to them was probably the Chenqiao mutiny. However, the Chenqiao mutiny was in 960 AD, and now it is the first year of Mingdao, that is, 1,038 AD, and it is almost a hundred years away from now!

In ancient times, early birth and early childbirth, one hundred years was enough for five generations to live together!

The fifth generation of soldiers did not know the soldiers, and blood suddenly appeared. It was so messy that it was heartbreaking. Several children sat on the side of the road and cried bitterly, calling their parents at the top of their lungs. The old man was knocked to the ground and immediately fell on it countless feet, and the old man never got up again.

The women called their children's nicknames with sad expressions. Perhaps by the time they found them, their children had been trampled to death.

Zhao Qian was very angry with these guys who were hurting people with hidden arrows, but now he is a clay Buddha who crosses the river and cannot protect himself. Although Zhao Qian avoided the first crossbow arrow, he soon stood up more than a dozen archers on the roof.

Compared with strong crossbows, bows and arrows are easier to cast privately, and archers are also easier to get. Recruiting hunters from hunters on the mountain can form a team of archers with considerable shooting skills.

Zhao Qian looked up and saw that these archers completely ignored the common people below, looked at Zhao Qian with enthusiasm, bent his bow and arrow, and made it all in one go. Then, the sound of arrows breaking through the air was loudly heard, and Zhao Qian quickly turned over and dismounted. In a hurry, he was entangled by stirrups, and Zhao Qian could not avoid it.
