Chapter 427: The Change of Annan (1)

In Shenglong City, Annan Guodu, Hu Jiyao was walking on the street in an elephant car. When pedestrians on both sides of the street saw him, they knelt down and bowed. A few pedestrians who dared to stand would be dragged out by guards and beaten. Those who dared to resist would even be executed on the spot. The heads were hung on both sides of the road, which scared the people on the street, and they were all silent when they saw him.

Hu Jimao looked at the awe-inspiring Chinese people below and smiled satisfied. Some time ago, General Chen Aozhen rebelled, but was easily suppressed by him, which also facilitated his power to reach a peak.

It was also taking advantage of this opportunity that Hu Jimao simply called himself the founder of the country, wearing a yellow dragon robe, and lived in Renshou Palace. Even the carriages under his feet were only ceremonial guards that the emperor could only use. Even his second son Hu Hancang was also named the Grand Tutor by him. It can be said that Hu Jimao has now been considered emperor.

Of course, Hu Jimao also knew that his act of becoming emperor would definitely attract strong opposition from many people, but he no longer cared. In the past two years, he has stepped up his pace of usurping the throne and prepared in all aspects. Those nobles who dared to oppose him were also wiped out one by one. So in his opinion, the time for his proclaimed emperor had long been ripe, and now he is just following the trend.

Thinking of this, Hu Jimao also showed a look of pride on his face. Annan's power had all fallen into his hands. Although there were still many loyal Chen people who wanted to resist in secret, it was a pity that they were destined to fail!

However, just when Hu Jiyao was proud, he suddenly heard a bowstring sound next to the street, and then a crossbow of a spear boat flew towards him. Hu Jiyao had no time to react and was shot into his car by the spear.

He heard a loud "bang" sound, and the crossbow arrow that was obviously shot from the crossbow suddenly shot Hu Jiyao's car into pieces. Hu Jiyao inside was also life and death. This also scared Hu Jiyao's guards so much that they were so scared that they were so heartbroken that some people immediately shouted to catch the assassin, and at the same time, some people came forward to rescue Hu Jiyao.

Fortunately, although the bed crossbow was extremely powerful, it was not very accurate. Hu Jiyao's car was shot, and spear-like crossbow arrows also passed through Hu Jiyao's face. The wood chips brought up hit him in the face. He screamed in pain, and then fell from the car, but it was only slightly injured and was not in danger of his life. At this time, he was quickly helped by the guards.

However, the assassins lying around did not seem to put all their hopes on the crossbow arrows. They heard a sound of killing around them. Then countless bows and arrows shot towards Hu Jiyao. In addition, hundreds of men in black rushed out of the crowd, targeting Hu Jiyao directly. Obviously, this was an assassination specifically targeting Hu Jiyao.

As soon as Hu Jiyao stood up, he was shot on the shoulder by an arrow. He screamed again in pain. Fortunately, a guard blocked him at this time and blocked the arrows behind him. This made Hu Jiyao escape for his life, which scared him to sweat. Then he shouted to let the guards beside him protect him.

Soon a guard was blocking Hu Jiyao with a shield, which made him safe temporarily. However, hundreds of men in black who came out of the surrounding area were fearless and rushed towards him as if they were crazy.

Although Hu Jiyao had many guards, he was suddenly attacked and was in chaos at this time. He could not organize an effective counterattack for a while. Instead, he was broken through the defense line several times by the man in black and killed in front of Hu Jiyao. If the guards around him were not the loyalists he had trained and blocked many swords for him, Hu Jiyao would have died on the spot.

However, even with loyal guards around him, Hu Jiyao's situation was still very bad, because the assassination against him was obviously planned with precision. Not only were there fierce death soldiers, but archers also kept shooting arrows at him from both sides of the street, causing Hu Jiyao's guards to fall down.

What's worse is that there were many onlookers around. Faced with this sudden situation, the people immediately screamed and fled in scattered ways. However, this place was a relatively narrow street with too many people, which caused congestion in the street. In this way, the reinforcements coming from behind could not be killed for a while, which also bought more time for the assassins.

"Who is it? Who is it?" Hu Jiyao stared at Sifang with red eyes, and was also thinking in his heart who had the courage to assassinate him. Could it be that he had not cleaned his previous cleaning?

In fact, this is also because Hu Jiyao was too careless. When he eliminated dissidents before, he paid great attention to his safety and even tried to minimize his outings to avoid being caught.

However, since he killed General Chen Aozhen, most of Annan's military power was also in his hands, which also made him begin to disclose his plan to proclaim himself emperor. In order to show his control over the situation, he also began to go out to win the hearts of the people. At the beginning, nothing happened, which made him slowly relax his vigilance and even reduced his guards.

However, he didn't expect that at this moment, the enemy seized the opportunity, which made Hu Jiyao secretly regret it. He regretted that his methods were too kind and did not capture the enemy in one fell swoop, and even let them find the opportunity to assassinate him.

What made Hu Jiyao even more regretful was that he had decided to move the capital to his hometown, and even built a Xidu city in his hometown. However, many ministers opposed the moving of the capital at that time, and Hu Jiyao did not want to have a stalemate with other nobles because of this incident, so he had to temporarily stop moving the capital.

However, Shenglong City is the old nest of Chen family after all. Even if they cleaned it several times, there are still many people loyal to Chen family. Moreover, they were able to make such precise plans, it must be because they are familiar with all aspects of Shenglong City. If they arrive at their own Xidu City, they may not be able to find the opportunity to assassinate themselves.

Thinking of this, Hu Jimao was so angry that he had known this. If he had known this, he would not have been too concerned at the beginning. He would not have put himself in the desperate situation today when he moved the capital to Xidu City as soon as possible. He even suspected that the people who opposed the most intense opposition to the capital could be the mastermind behind the assassination of himself today.

"Kill!" Another man in black killed in front of Hu Jiyao and chopped over two guards in a row. The blood sprayed even dripped on Hu Jiyao's face. There were no more guards around him. Seeing that the man in black was about to slash at him, Hu Jiyao's heart was filled with despair and regret!
