C566 Sneak Attack
This explosion even shook the earth a little.
The corners of Xiao Yun's eyes twitched violently.
He thought of a possibility.
Could it be that his secret workshop had been discovered and ignited? !
He didn't care whether His Majesty was shocked or not. He jumped to the top and stared into the distance.
After a long while, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
The direction was right, but the distance was not right.
Obviously, it was not his secret workshop that exploded.
But what was that?
Other than his secret workshop, what else could cause such an explosion?
He thought of all kinds of possibilities, but he still couldn't figure out how such a terrifying explosion could happen with the level of industry in this world.
While thinking, he returned to His Majesty's side.
His Majesty narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
It was as if this was the first time he had met him.
"Kid, you... have martial arts on you? "
Xiao Yun was shocked and quickly said, "Ah, this, that is to say... I was scared just now, so in my panic, I used a power that I could not imagine normally. That is why..."
This reason was too far-fetched.
His Majesty's gaze was even colder.
Because his previous view of Xiao Yun was based on the fact that Xiao Yun did not know martial arts. It was just that sometimes his strength was greater.
But now...
If it was Xiao Yun's Martial Meeting, it would mean that there were some things in the past that had never doubted him. Now, it could be confirmed that this fellow was the one who had done it!
Xiao Yun was so embarrassed that he wanted to die.
Then, he said, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about this, right?"
"What was that explosion just now? What did you see?"
Xiao Yun nodded and shook his head. He said, "Your majesty, this peasant really does not know. But... this explosion must not be a coincidence. Your majesty should have given the order."
"What order?"
The barbarian asked. "The order to defend and defend the city. If my guess is correct, they should gather and attack the city immediately."
"Why?"
"If such an explosion occurs, the soldiers in the capital will immediately rush over. Why? Wang Yao asked. Because whenever such an explosion occurs, the soldiers in the capital will immediately rush over. This is an order from the local government, and it is also the right thing to do. Moreover, some of the soldiers will immediately join the Water Dragon Unit. To put out the fire immediately was something that a city should be able to do. As such, the soldiers would be attracted by the flames and the entire city would fall into panic. As long as they attacked at this moment, the entire capital would fall into chaos. If the situation becomes chaotic, it will be easy for them to do what they want. "
His Majesty's eyes twitched a few times.
After pondering for a moment, he really gave the order to guard and defend.
The eunuch even ordered all the eunuchs in the palace to gather, leaving half of them to guard the harem, and the remaining half to carry all kinds of things that seemed to have no combat power to guard outside the study.
To put it bluntly, the purpose of these eunuchs was to go and die at a critical moment.
Their sacrifice could buy them some time to rescue or escape.
Xiao Yun naturally understood all of this, and could only sigh.
He was ready to fight.
He could only hope that all of this was just a coincidence. In fact, nothing would happen.
That would be great.
But...
Very quickly, a soldier rushed to the study room.
He still had an arrow stuck in his back. Blood flowed down and dyed half of his body red.
"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened!"
His Majesty saw through the door and called him in.
That person rushed in front of His Majesty and fell to his knees with a puff. He said with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. A group of traitors suddenly gathered outside the palace. They are arguing, talking, talking..."
"What did they say?"
The king asked in a deep voice.
The soldier gritted his teeth and said, "They said that they wanted to suppress the traitors of the country, sweep away the muddle-headed ruler, expel Pathless, and return peace to the people of the world..."
"Insolent!"
His Majesty was furious!
When he heard these words, his first reaction was shock.
He was shocked that what Xiao Yun said was true.
He was even more shocked that the rebellion had happened so quickly and so suddenly!
If it wasn't for Xiao Yun's early arrival, although it had only been a few hours, it was precisely because he had been preparing for this period of time that he had managed to maintain such a situation. If not...
At this moment, the rebel army had probably already arrived in front of him!
In the next moment, he felt wronged.
He was a muddle-headed king?
He had done so much for Qin Country and paid such a huge price. He had been living frugally during normal days. He had even snatched some good things from Xiao Yun.
A few palaces were about to collapse, and they didn't have the money to repair them.
The only one that had been repaired recently was the palace that had imprisoned Xiao Yun, and it was also the material that Xiao Yun had spent and sold.
After that, they would expand the territory, build achievements, and promote so many things. In just one or two years, Qin Country had completely changed, and it even seemed like it was going to prosper!
This could be considered a great achievement throughout the ages.
Then, how did it become the muddle-headed ruler that other people called muddle-headed? !
His Majesty took a deep breath. He knew that it would be useless to get angry at these few people in front of him.
He turned to look at the eunuch, then at Xiao Yun, who was standing beside him.
If the rebel army really charged in, with only these few people by his side... wouldn't it be a little sad?
Or should he be glad?
"Hu..."
He exhaled a mouthful of foul air.
His Majesty asked, "How many rebels are there?"
"Layers upon layers, covering the sky and covering the earth! There are at least tens of thousands of them."
His Majesty nodded.
This was similar to the information given by Xiao Yun.
It seemed like the forty thousand War Soldier Armor of the Office of Suppression had really turned traitor.
Suddenly?
It was a little sudden.
But if it wasn't sudden, could it be considered a rebellion?
It was just a child's play to show his knife and horse, to create a scene to compete with this country lord.
This kind of sudden rebellion with strategy was the true existence of the opponent!
His Majesty stretched out his hand and said loudly, "Pass down my decree. Guard the city gate and wait for the million troops to reinforce. I don't believe that under this bright and clear world, a group of rebels can overturn the world? "
"Yes!"
The soldier who delivered the message nodded heavily and kowtowed directly to His Majesty.
But at this moment...
Ceng!
The sound of a mechanism breaking could be heard.
A black shadow flew swiftly towards His Majesty!
The target was His Majesty's throat.
In just an instant, not even a breath of time had passed.
In the blink of an eye, His Majesty's throat was about to be pierced.
His Majesty turned pale with fright, but he was unable to dodge at all. Just as he was about to make a move to dodge, he could already feel the strong wind of the arrow blowing on his skin.
Am I going to die?
He couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.1
But at this moment.
A hand suddenly appeared from the side.
He held the crossbow in his hand.
The tip of the arrow was less than an inch away from His Majesty's throat!
His Majesty looked at the firm hand.
The seemingly slender wrist, the thin shoulder, and the slightly immature face... all made him feel at ease.
That was Xiao Yun's smile.
The arrow was getting farther and farther away from the king.
The soldier who had suddenly shot the arrow also died under the chaotic stick attacks.
A group of eunuchs and palace maids actually had some combat power.
They didn't even need to wait for the Imperial Guards to rush in.
Xiao Yun walked over, squatted down, lifted his collar, and pulled out a small set of composite crossbows from inside.
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that the Xiao family's crossbows could be modified like this. It's very hard to find them. Hmm... That's a good idea. "
His Majesty was still in shock.
Cold sweat started to form on his forehead.
However, he was too embarrassed to wipe it.
He could only frown and change the topic.
"Your martial arts is actually so high? You can even catch a crossbow like this? "
Xiao Yun threw the crossbow away and lowered his head to look at his palm.
At this moment, he looked up and smiled bitterly. "No one can have such a fast reaction. I just thought that there might be something wrong with this guy a long time ago, so I have been guarding against him for a long time."
The king was stunned and said, "You knew there was something wrong with him? "
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "There is a saying, 'too much is too much'. If the Imperial Guards really sent someone to deliver the message, on the one hand, he was afraid of disturbing His Majesty. On the other hand, it was also a basic etiquette. They will not find a person with an arrow stuck in his body to come over. "
His Majesty nodded and said, "So there is a reason for this. It seems to be true."
Xiao Yun said," Not only that, there is also one more thing, even if the rebel army attacked. The first round of rain of arrows was actually unable to shoot through the high palace walls. The arrows on his body were a little too strange. Anyway, the peasants did not know how they managed to shoot into the palace. "
