Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Unknowingly, Handan City was already in sight, and there were more pedestrians and carriages on both sides of the road.

This road is the main road connecting Handan and Daliang, the two major cities in the Central Plains, and Handan and Daliang are the two most prosperous cities in the Central Plains at this moment and far away from the war, so the pedestrians, vehicles and horses on the road can be said to be There is an endless stream.

Of course, in front of Zhao Dan's ceremonial guard, all pedestrians, vehicles and horses had to stand aside, otherwise the two thousand feathers would directly teach him how to behave with the sharp sword at his waist and the crossbow in his hand.

Blocking and colliding with guards of honor are capital offenses.

Many passers-by stood by the roadside, watching Zhao Dan's ceremonial guard from a distance, talking a lot.

A scholar of Qi State stood by the road and looked at Zhao Dan on the carriage, with a shocked expression on his face, he couldn't help muttering: "Is this the Zhao Wang Dan? I didn't expect this famous Zhao State Your Majesty is so young."

A man from the Zhao Kingdom who happened to be standing next to him was a little upset when he heard this, and immediately retorted: "What's wrong with being young? Can you not do great things when you are young? Our king of the Zhao Kingdom is so young and promising! "There is a bit of pride in the words.

It wasn't just this guy from Zhao country, many people and traders from Zhao country also agreed with him after hearing what this guy said.

"That's right, you don't even think about it, what kind of hero Qin Wangji is, almost destroying your country of Qi! Didn't he also lose in the confrontation with the king."

"Compared to Qi Wangjian of Ru Qi Kingdom, our great king is not sure how many times stronger he is."

After all this robbing, the scholar of Qi State was speechless, and his face turned red and pale.

Fortunately, after Zhao Dan's carriage passed by, order naturally returned to the road, and everyone continued on the road, and no one cared about this scholar of Qi who was standing aside.

The scholar of the State of Qi thought to himself: "Looking at the great king of Zhao State who has enjoyed such a great reputation and made such achievements at such a young age, he must be a rare hero. Why worry about my talents not being carried forward?"

The more the scholar thought about it, the more excited he became, and he didn't care about the ridicule just now, and continued to follow Zhao Dan's car towards Handan.

However, this scholar seemed to have a lot of trouble today, but he was pushed away from behind rudely just after walking a few steps: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't get in the way here!"

The scholar was pushed staggeringly and nearly fell to the ground. He couldn't help but get furious, and was about to raise his head to scold, but he saw that the people who pushed him away were a group of vicious-looking big men, each with fierce eyes. Just looking at Bilu doesn't look like a good person.

So the scholar had no choice but to swallow the curse words back into his throat.

Next, something happened that made the scholar dumbfounded.

This group of villains was also pushing a few wheelbarrows, which were covered with cloth curtains, and they looked like they were doing business. They walked at an extremely fast speed, and they directly chased after Zhao Dan who had just left. up.

When they caught up with hundreds of steps away from the station, and they were about to approach the Imperial Forest Army at the end of Zhao Dan's guard of honor, these villains suddenly lifted the curtain on the wheelbarrow, revealing the true face of Lushan Mountain.

The scholars who were a few feet away behind these villains took a closer look, and suddenly a chill came from their bodies.

What is loaded on these wheelbarrows is not any cargo, but a handful of extremely sophisticated crossbows!

The scholar stood there in a daze, watching the villains picked up the already wound crossbows from the cart, and aimed at them hundreds of steps away, still sitting on the king's chariot. Zhao Dan, who had no knowledge of the matter.

The next moment, the scholar burst out, possibly the loudest sentence he had ever yelled in his life.

"There are assassins!!!"

Chapter 258 The Difference (Part [-])

The scholar's sudden shout attracted the attention of many people, especially the knights of the Habayashi Army who were not far in front of the scholar turned their heads immediately.

It was also at this time that the villains in front of the scholars also just pressed the trigger of the crossbow in their hands.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Several crossbows were fired in an instant, and shot at Zhao Dan who was still sitting on the carriage hundreds of steps away and did not look back.

Due to the sound of rolling wheels and the ubiquitous sound of horseshoes, Zhao Dan did not hear this warning from hundreds of steps away.

So when these arrows came from a distance, Zhao Dan was completely defenseless.

But Zhao Dan didn't see it, but it doesn't mean that everyone didn't see it.

Ju Xin, the deputy general of the Northern Army who followed Zhao Dan on horseback, happened to hear the warning with his keen hearing, and turned his head.

The next moment, Ju Xin's pupils suddenly dilated, and he roared angrily: "My lord, be careful!"

While roaring, Ju Xin pulled out the long sword in his hand extremely quickly, and stabbed fiercely at the stock of a white horse that was pulling a cart for Zhao Dan.

The horse was stabbed in extreme pain, and with a hiss of pain, it galloped out, pulled Zhao Dan's carriage so violently that it almost fell over, and Zhao Dan's body, who was sitting on the carriage, also shook violently and lost his balance.

It was at this time that the crossbow arrow finally arrived.

Due to the distance, most of the crossbow arrows did not hit Zhao Dan's carriage, but hit many Habayashi soldiers behind Zhao Dan's carriage, killing several people.

But there was still a powerful crossbow that penetrated the rear compartment of the carriage almost without hindrance, and brushed past Zhao Dan less than two feet away.

"Pfft!" After a dull sound, the back of the driver in front of Zhao Dan was pierced in an instant, and he fell directly off the horse.

The horse pulling the cart lost its driver, and the injured horse galloped in pain. There was a moment of confusion, and Zhao Dan's carriage was about to roll over.

At this moment, a figure descended from the sky and jumped to the original driver's position, holding all the reins in just a few seconds, and let out an angry roar by the way.

"There are assassins, escort!"

It was Ju Xin who came.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Dan would never have believed that such a 60-year-old man could possess such amazing physical explosive power, forcibly holding back the horses who were about to go mad after being stimulated by the blood up!

All these things happened in a blink of an eye. Zhao Dan, who was sitting defenseless in the carriage, didn't even have time to react, so he watched Ju Xin appearing on the driver's seat in front of him with a dazed expression. His carriage stopped.

But Zhao Dan immediately reacted, and his heart was full of shock.

The blood on the ground and the driver's body were enough for Zhao Dan to understand everything.

The widow was assassinated at the foot of Handan? ?

It was not only Zhao Dan who reacted, but also the Habayashi soldiers around Zhao Dan.

Just after this assassination happened, the Habayashi Army also acted quickly.

The Habayashi army around Zhao Dan immediately moved towards Zhao Dan's carriage, and instantly formed a human wall with horses and mounts, blocking any arrows that might continue to shoot.

In addition, hundreds of Habayashi Army knights immediately turned their horses and rushed towards these assassins!

These assassins were also decisive. After firing the arrows, they threw the crossbow in their hands, jumped on the horses that had been prepared earlier, and fled towards the south without looking back.

Smoke billowed on the road for a while, and a large number of Habayashi soldiers chased the assassins away, making everyone who witnessed all this stunned.

Ju Xin helped Zhao Dan off the carriage, and respectfully said to Zhao Dan: "The guard is weak, and the thief almost hurt the king, please punish the king!"

Zhao Dan's complexion didn't look too good, he looked somewhat uncertain: "Where is the assassin?"

At this moment, countless thoughts came to Zhao Dan's mind.

Who is the assassin?Who sent it?Is it an enemy at home or abroad?
