The twentieth day of the third month, the Spring Equinox, the Feng Country Court had officially entered the main Zhenjiang.
On this day, the Zhenjiang's liveliness could be said to be unprecedented. Outside of the city, on the streets and alleys, there were many people everywhere, and the citizens of Mo Country did not want to miss out on a big event that was rarely seen in the past one hundred years. They all rushed to the Zhenjiang to watch the liveliness, and even many Feng people and Ning people travelled thousands of miles to visit the Zhenjiang.
Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen had already made the arrangements beforehand, but the moment the troops of the Feng Country Court entered through the Zhenjiang City Gate, the sky was filled with petals that fell down from the top of the city walls.
The red rain of flowers danced in the sky, forming a red ocean with the red tassels above the heads of the Feng Country warriors. The beauty of the scenery made one feel as though they were in a dream.
"Wind!" Wind! Strong wind! This scene, had also affected the long journey of Feng Army. The soldiers all shouted together, shouting out the name of Feng Country, yelling out one after another, with each wave stronger than the last.
The surging passion of the Feng Country warriors also caused the surrounding citizens to become excited, even if it was just one person, there were still many country names that followed along and shouted out Feng Country.
The deafening roars at the scene made Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, who had been working hard for several months to move to their city, heave a sigh of relief.
Such a lively welcoming scene could be considered a huge success, right?
Right now, the only thing the two of them were worried about was not causing any trouble. There were simply too many people rushing over from every direction to the Zhenjiang this time, and there were way too many Spirit Cultivator s amongst them. Whoever rushed over was certain to not have any assassins with ill intentions, and if the assassination was discovered on the day the imperial government enters the main Zhenjiang, then the face of the Feng Country would really be thrown away.
Standing beside Qiu Zhen was the leader of the hidden arrows, the vice commander of the Lieutenant's Mansion, Gu Chen. In order to guarantee the success of this day's ceremony, the hidden arrows, Lieutenant's Mansion, and defensive guards all used their skills. In these few days, they had secretly arrested over two hundred Spirit Cultivator s.
Qiu Zhen followed behind Tang Yin's carriage and asked Cheng Jin, Gu Chen and Lei Zhen softly: "Have you checked this path before? Who's in charge? "
"Prime Minister Qiu, this place will be guarded by this lowly general." Lei Zhen cupped his hands and said, "The pavilions on both sides of the road are already under the control of the brothers from the camp, there is no mistake at all."
Although he said that, Qiu Zhen was still worried, and urged: "Hurry and send people to check again! Zhenjiang is the Mo Country, who knows how many people want the life of the King, we cannot let our guard down. "
Lei Zhen also knew that the matter was extremely serious and he could not tolerate it. He waved his hand and called for the Vice Supervisor to come over, and anxiously said: Hurry and send people to investigate this area, if there are any suspicious people, regardless of whether they are Spirit Cultivator s or not, they will be temporarily arrested without any interrogation.
"This lowly general obeys your command!" The vice director of the defense camp intervened to receive the orders. He led the elites of the defense camp past Tang Yin's horse carriage and went to check on the road ahead.
In fact, no matter which country the king was from, he had always gone with great efforts. When the king was sitting comfortably in the carriage, eating dessert and drinking tea, chatting and having fun with his beloved concubine or subjects, the soldiers below had no idea how busy they were! The same person had different lives. This was a principle.
Right now, he was not the only person in the carriage that Tang Yin was riding on, his wives were also among them.
Wu Mei and Shauna were the most active as they pulled the corner of the curtain from time to time, looking towards the outside in a novel way. The difference between Mo Country and Feng Country was not small, and the architectural styles of Zhenjiang and Yan City were also completely different.
If the building's main body was made of wood, it would easily be damaged. Therefore, most of the buildings in the Zhenjiang were built with rocks as the main component, and wood as the secondary component.
Amongst them, the bluestones produced by Zeping and the two counties of Hao Yang and Anhui were the most precious, and also the most sturdy and beautiful. The new palace that Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen were supervising and building was mainly made of bluestone, supported by jade.
Looking at the buildings on the two sides of the street, Wu Mei and Shauna kept clucking their tongues in surprise.
Fan Min sat beside Tang Yin, leisurely making tea, while drinking with Tang Yin. At the same time, she sneered: "Everything is new and new to me, I have never seen the world before."
She was talking to Wu Mei, not Shauna. Other than Wu Mei and her wife who kept bickering with each other, the other ladies had a good relationship with each other.
After Wu Mei heard what she said, she angrily closed the curtains and glared at Fan Min: "You want to argue again, don't you? I am not afraid of you! " As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and arms, as if she wanted to fight with Fan Min.
"Appearance!" Pay attention to your manners! "It's funny that someone like you is worthy of being the wife of a monarch." Fan Min sat there calmly, not moving an inch. She seemed to have turned a blind eye towards Wu Mei who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws.
"Husband ?" Every time Wu Mei bickered with Fan Min, she would be the one to lose in the end. could not take advantage of her this time either, so she could only get into Tang Yin's arms to act like a spoiled child.
He gently caressed Wu Mei's exposed smooth and exquisite arms that looked like a baby's. He only laughed mischievously, but did not say a word. He even lifted Wu Mei's arms from time to time, kissing and rubbing them.
Wu Mei was so tickled by him that she had to use a lot of strength to pull her arm out of Tang Yin's grasp.
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Yin had already pushed her down below him. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly thought of a poem, as for who wrote it, he did not remember. For the Spring Festival Gala, the emperor will never use his Morning Meeting! "
He had only casually said that sentence, but it caused Wu Mei, Fan Min and the usually calm Yuan Qianyi's body to stiffen. This poem was obviously Tang Yin's way of comparing himself to an emperor. Who knows how many accusations they would attract!
Only Shauna, who was not proficient in Wind Speaker, was full of smiles. She clapped and praised: "What an interesting poem!"2
Tang Yin laughed towards the sky and then casually pulled Shauna into his embrace.
They were talking and laughing in the carriage, playing with each other when suddenly, they heard a crisp sound from the carriage wall. Soon after, a two finger-thick Iron Forceps suddenly pierced in.
It was so fast that Tang Yin did not even have time to react. Fortunately, he was inside the carriage, and the Iron Forceps was almost above his head.
Tang Yin was stunned, the other wives in the carriage were also stunned, they stared wide-eyed at the Iron Forceps s in the carriage and could not react for a long time, at the same time, it was a mess outside, as people yelled and people screamed non-stop.
"Great King!" Following the anxious shouts, the curtains of the carriage was pushed open, and Ah San and the numerous guards all gathered outside the carriage.
Everyone looked inside the carriage and all of them were terrified out of their wits. They saw Tang Yin carrying Wu Mei and her, lying inside the carriage, one of his hands even reaching into Shauna's opened collar, which was nothing much, the key point was that there was a Iron Forceps on Tang Yin's body, it was so close that it almost touched his scalp, and the Iron Forceps was only an inch away from Fan Min and Yuan Qianyi.
"Your Majesty ?" "Are you alright ?" Ah San sweated profusely as he asked with his tongue-tied eyes.
Tang Yin's face did not have the slightest expression, nor was there a smile, nor was there any anger on it. He let go of Wu Mei and Shauna who were in his embrace, avoided the Iron Forceps s that were on his head, and slowly sat up. After that, he walked out of the carriage with his waist hunched.
"Your Majesty, it's dangerous outside!" Ah San wanted to stop Tang Yin, but the latter waved his hands and pushed the two away, then asked: "Is it safe in the carriage?" While he was speaking, two shining Scimitar s appeared in his palm.
He looked around him and saw panicked crowds everywhere. There were troops who were trying to track down assassins everywhere, and on one side of the carriage wall, there were even half of the Iron Forceps s exposed. What made Tang Yin even angrier was that at the end of the Iron Forceps s tail hung a banner with 16 big words written on it: Thief Feng is shameless.
Tang Yin looked at it, and then walked to the front of the carriage, wielding his blade he cut down on the carriage.
At this time, Qiu Zhen, Cheng Jin, Lei Zhen and the others also rushed over. Seeing the Iron Forceps in the King's carriage, they were also frightened and asked in unison, "Is the King injured?"
Lazily answering, Tang Yin waved his hand and threw the banner towards Qiu Zhen, and said coldly: Look for yourself! While speaking, he kept the Scimitar, raised his hand and pulled out the Iron Forceps, throwing it fiercely onto the ground. Then, without saying anything, he turned around and returned to the carriage.
Qiu Zhen and the others opened the banner and looked down. The four of them broke out in a cold sweat at the same time.
He was truly afraid that something bad would happen on the day the imperial government took over the Zhenjiang, and that the King would be assassinated. Furthermore, the assassin even boldly hung up a banner that read "Rebellion", which was why the King was angry.
"Investigate!" Quickly go and find the assassin! " Qiu Zhen bundled the banner up and said to Cheng Jin, Gu Chen and Lei Zhen in a low voice.
Now, if they went back to find the assassin, there wouldn't be enough time. The assassin had already run away without a trace, and the soldiers that went back to look for him only found a ballista. This crossbow bed was very similar to the Army-broking Crossbow, it was just that it had been modified appropriately to make it smaller.
Its hiding spot was very ingenious, it was located on the roof of a roadside house, covered by tiles. From the outside, it was impossible to see any flaws in its hiding place, when the assassin wanted to shoot it, he only needed to climb up the roof of the house and remove a piece of roof tile, so that the sharp tip of the arrow could be exposed.
Obviously, the assassin's operation this time had been meticulously planned, and if not for Tang Yin and the other few ladies' good luck, this arrow would probably have shot them all at once, possibly injuring some of them.
