The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 353 Three Arrows
Arrows roared, because Zhu Jinzhang's "disappearance" hit the officials who came out of the house.

Coincidentally, the arrow directly hit the official's forehead, causing him to fall straight on the ground on the spot.

This scene was very sudden, not only the civil and military officials present were dumbfounded, but even Zhao Yanxun in the distance was also dumbfounded.

Why did this guy dismount suddenly? He should have accepted the official's salute, and then sat on the horse and listened to the situation report.

Did he already know that he was going to kill him?
Without time to think so much, Zhao Yanxun shot the second arrow directly.

This time Zhao Yanxun aimed at Zhu Jinzhang's mount, because after Zhu Jinzhang dismounted, there was this horse between him and Zhao Yanxun.

As long as you shoot through the horse's belly, you have a chance to kill Zhu Jinzhang who is hiding behind.

The second arrow roared out, and as Zhao Yanxun expected, it shot directly into the horse's belly, and then hit Zhu Jinzhang behind.

But contrary to expectations, the arrow hit Zhu Jinzhang's shoulder, causing the guy to stagger back several steps.

Enduring the severe pain, Zhu Jinzhang didn't cry out, which shows the tenacity of this person.

Thanks to the armor he was wearing, it played a certain protective role. Although the armor plate had been shot through, the arrow didn't penetrate very deep into the flesh.

"There are assassins, there are assassins... protect the prince!"

After one death and one injury, the people below finally reacted and immediately guarded Zhu Jinzhang's side, forming a tight protective wall.

Immediately afterwards, the third arrow pierced through the air and shot directly through a personal guard. Behind this person was Zhu Jinzhang, and the pierced arrow stopped in front of his eyes.

The guard who was shot fell down slowly, and the gap he exposed was quickly blocked by other guards, and Zhu Jinzhang himself was also preparing to transfer.

From the direction of the arrow, they can roughly guess Zhao Yanxun's position.

"The assassin is on the west mountain, immediately send troops to encircle and suppress..."

"Come again, protect King Ming!"

When the officers below made arrangements, Zhu Jinzhang's personal guards had helped him evacuate into the house.

On the top of the mountain, Zhao Yanxun was very disappointed at the moment.

It was a great shame to Zhao Yanxun that he failed to kill Zhu Jinzhang with three arrows in a row.

On weekdays, he hits a hundred shots and is praised by the soldiers as a super god of archery, but now he can't do it when he sees the truth.

At this time, Lin Dagui reminded from the side: "My lord, these bandit troops have surrounded us, we should withdraw!"

There was no way, Zhao Yanxun could only get up, took a last look at the courtyard below, then turned around and left.

If the sneak attack failed this time, Zhu Jinzhang must take strict precautions in the future, and it may be difficult to assassinate him.

But now, he had to flee quickly, if he was entangled by Zhu Jinzhang's soldiers and horses, he would be in trouble.

The dispatch of troops down the mountain was hasty, and the road leading up the mountain was full of thorns, which made the advance speed of these Ming troops who came to encircle and suppress them extremely slow.

So Zhao Yanxun could evacuate calmly, and leave quickly after riding on the horse.

Zhao Yanxun felt extremely uncomfortable when his success fell short.

Zhu Jinzhang's luck is too good, how could he dodge that arrow?
Besides, in the house next to the official road, Zhu Jinzhang covered his shoulders, and under the protection of his personal guards, he hid in a room.

At this moment, his expression was extremely ferocious, because he was holding the arrow shaft with one hand, trying to tear the arrow off his body.

Although the arrowhead didn't go deep into the flesh, it was a full three to four centimeters, and it was not easy to pull it out. The severe pain turned Zhu Jinzhang's face into a liver-colored one.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, Zhu Jinzhang clenched his teeth, and with a scream, he pulled out the arrow forcefully.

The arrow was thrown to the ground by him, and the bloody arrow looked shocking.

Enduring the severe pain, Zhu Jinzhang took off his armor with the help of his personal guards, and then took off his upper body clothes, exposing his bleeding shoulders.

It was a blessing in misfortune that no vital parts were injured, but if it is not treated in time, it may also cause infection and death.

The so-called treatment, the army has its own method, several personal guards are surrounding Zhu Jinzhang's side at this moment, some cleaning the wound and bandaging it with cloth strips.

At this moment, more than a dozen people came in consecutively from outside the courtyard, all of them were high-ranking officials from this expedition.

The leader was Zhang Ziming. Seeing that Zhu Jinzhang was not in serious trouble, Zhang Ziming quickly said to his back: "Go out and tell the brothers that His Highness is safe and sound, so you don't have to worry!"

It's a pity that no one moved at this time. After all, everyone is more concerned about Zhu Jinzhang's situation, and Zhang Ziming's words don't carry too much weight.

"Deaf? Do as Zhang Qianhu said!" Zhu Jinzhang said harshly.

At this time, it is difficult for him to still consider stabilizing the morale of the army, and to be able to endure the severe pain and yell at his subordinates.

If he is injured, there will be chaos among the people below. The most important thing right now is to stabilize the morale of the army.

At this moment, Wu Pingxuan, who was walking with the army, said: "If you want me to say, you shouldn't send troops to Baishan, otherwise you will have today's disaster!"

Wu Pingxuan's remarks were supported by many people.

It's not that the generals are timid to fight, but they simply think that spring plowing is more important than expanding the territory.

Sensing everyone's thoughts, Zhang Ziming was about to refute Wu Pingxuan, but Zhu Jinzhang said in a stern tone: "The use of troops this time is for a long-term plan. If anyone dares to speak falsely and retreat, military law will be followed!"

With Zhu Jinzhang's favorable support, Zhang Ziming immediately felt relieved.

Zhu Jinzhang's authority is enough to suppress all opposition voices, and they will definitely win Baishan County this time.

Decided on one thing, even if you go through all obstacles, you must win it. Zhu Jinzhang's character is very similar to Zhang Ziming's temperament, which strengthens his belief in following.

At this moment, Qian Hu, who had just gone out to pass on the message, hurried back and said: "My lord, the brothers gathered around outside, saying that they want to see the lord's injury!"

At this moment, Zhu Jinzhang had roughly finished bandaging, and with the help of his personal guards, he put on a robe to cover the wound on his shoulder.

He is unparalleled in authority, but it is built on the basis of self-generated strength, so Zhu Jinzhang cannot be weak in the slightest.

Even if he was injured, he had to show the people below that he was still the unbeatable King Ming.

Only when people's hearts are at ease can Zhu Jinzhang feel at ease.

Enduring the severe pain, Zhu Jinzhang got up slowly and walked outside. On the surface, it seemed that nothing happened.

As he walked out, Zhu Jinzhang asked: "The people who were sent out to hunt down and kill, have there been no results yet?"

Qian Hu, who came in from the outside just now, quickly replied: "My lord, I haven't come back yet, so there must be a result soon!"

"Ziming, where do you think the assassin came from?"

Zhang Ziming who was following at the side didn't think much at all, and said bluntly: "It must have come from the south, then King Yong is a sinister villain!"

"Back then, the officials in Yuanyang tricked the people out of the city in order to save their own lives. Maybe it was Zhao Yanxun who was trying to trick them!"

Zhu Jinzhang nodded and walked out of the yard.

The crowd outside was furious. When they saw Zhu Jinzhang coming out, everyone shut their mouths and focused on Zhu Jinzhang.

After a few casual moves, Zhu Jinzhang put his hands on his hips and said to the crowd with a smile, "Brothers, the assassins from the Prince Yong's Mansion in the south want to kill me and prevent us from taking Baishan County..."

Glancing at the crowd, Zhu Jinzhang's face was filled with anger: "Damn it, they want to trap us to death, do you agree?"

At this time, Zhu Jinzhang was still full of energy when speaking, and immediately raised everyone's fighting spirit.

"No promise!"
