Chapter 497

Suddenly, the arrow rain came down from the sky, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

Even though the king of Yan is skillful in martial arts and quick to deal with it, he is surrounded by assassins. In the face of the sudden arrow rain, the only thing he can do is to catch an assassin with a knife and use the assassin's body as a shield to stop the arrow rain.

However, even if the king of Yan made a response for the first time, he still failed to completely block the arrow rain.

When the arrow rain fell, the king of Yan didn't know how many arrows he hit. The only lucky thing was that none of his arrows hit the key.

"Protect the Lord!"

At last, the guards of King Yan's residence arrived. The crossbow aimed at the roofs on both sides, and suppressed the bowmen on the roof for the first time, which made them lose the chance to cover the king Yan with a second arrow rain.

As for the assassins who surrounded and killed the king of Yan at the beginning, except for a few people who ran into the shops on both sides, the rest were lying on the ground, either dead or seriously injured.

"I want to live!"

Although the king of Yan had several arrows in his body, he was still energetic because he didn't hurt the key. And his energy, all rely on heart support.

When the people of the Imperial City Department and yulinwei arrived and saw the figure of Yan Mei, the Marquis of the town army, the tone of Yan Wang's heart was released.

At the moment when he fell asleep, King Yan had the same feeling as emperor Yongping for the first time, that is, no one was available.

The whirlwind around the retinue and the destruction of all the guards made the king of Yan lose a confidant.

As for the bodyguard of King Yan's residence, he can't trust these people who are not in the capital all the year round.

Therefore, even if the assassin had been defeated, King Yan still did not dare to relax. He did not dare to hand over his life and death to someone he could not trust.

Yan Mei, the Marquis of Zhenjun, was one of the people the king of Yan could trust.

Yan Mei brings people to the scene. Seeing the situation at the scene, he wants to faint.

With so many assassins sneaking into the capital, the other side even used the eight bull crossbow used by the quartermaster to guard the city. This thing is a real contraband and is not allowed to be held by the people.

After escorting the seriously injured and comatose King Yan into the palace, Yan Mei immediately led people to thoroughly investigate the origin of the eight bull crossbow. As a result, he received the news before a thorough investigation was started.

The captain in charge of the city's logistics and a whole team of guards were killed in the camp.

And that's where the two eight crossbows came from.

After receiving the news, Yan Mei still sent the most effective hand to investigate the clues, while he went to the palace again to plead with emperor Yongping.

Let so many assassins sneak into the capital, and even let the assassins hijack the eight cattle crossbow, which is undoubtedly a major dereliction of duty of the Imperial City Department.

When Yan Mei saw emperor Yongping again, Emperor Yongping was talking to Yan Shu.

It's really funny for the two brothers to meet under such circumstances.

In particular, Yan Mei, the elder brother, came to plead guilty.

"Zhen junhou doesn't need to be like this. It has nothing to do with you!"

Emperor Yongping waved his hand casually, "if you have mental calculation but no intention, no matter how smart and capable the Imperial City Department is, it's impossible to block everything out of the city gate."

"Thank you for your tolerance!"

Yan Mei saluted emperor Yongping respectfully.

This is why emperor Yongping didn't care.

If emperor Yongping wants to be more serious, then the Imperial City Department will surely be blamed, and Yan Mei, who is in charge of the Imperial City Department, must not escape the punishment of emperor Yongping.

"Where did the assassins come from?" he said

In the final analysis, the reason why emperor Yongping did not compete with the Marquis of Zhenjun was that the imperial doctor reported that the injury of King Yan was not serious. Although the king of Yan was hit by several arrows, none of them hurt the key.

Although the king of Yan still needs to rest for a long time, as long as he recovers, he can still lead the army and reorganize the 36 guards of the north and South battalions for him.

After this assassination, Emperor Yongping could imagine that after King Yan recovered, he would speed up the rectification of the 36 guards of the north and South battalions.

With the strength of the north and South battalions and 36 guards, the security of the capital, and even the security of the Tang Dynasty, will be further improved.

This assassination was not all bad for emperor Yongping.

Under the consideration of different levels, Emperor Yongping would open his eyes to Yan Mei, the Marquis of Zhenjun.

"Back to the emperor, I checked the identity of the assassins at the scene, most of them were killers in the underworld, and the sharpshooters in Beiman. But the archers who came out in the end were obviously third-party forces. "

"These archers don't have any marks on them, and the bows they use don't have any marks. These people seem to have emerged out of thin air! "

As the controller of the Imperial City Department, zhenjunhou had a deep understanding of various forces in the capital. But this time, Yan Mei found that there were too many forces out of his control in the capital.

The assassin of the underworld sneaks in so widely that the Imperial City department doesn't receive any news. It's dereliction of duty.The eight cattle crossbow was robbed, but the Imperial City Department was still in dereliction of duty.

The most dereliction of duty is that the origins of the two archers are unknown.

"Who do you think these archers might be?"

"I don't know!"

Yan Mei gave an honest answer.

What you know is what you know, and what you don't know is what you don't know.

Of course, there was speculation in his heart. However, there is no evidence for this kind of conjecture. It is useless to say it rashly except to add trouble to yourself.

Moreover, if he guessed wrong, he would be in great trouble.

The Imperial City Department is responsible for the safety of the imperial city.

Yan Mei's control over the Imperial City Division was not strong, but he was very clear that many of the people in the Imperial City Division had other masters.

For these people, unless the emperor ordered to clean them up, Yan Mei could only put them there.

In such a big capital, there are too many people he can't stir up.

Of course, on the face of it, everyone was afraid of him, the town marquis in charge of the Imperial City Department. But in the dark, he, the Marquis of the town, is always a joke.

"Is there no one to doubt?"

Emperor Yongping fixed his eyes on the Marquis of Zhenjun. He didn't think that the Marquis of Zhenjun didn't know anything. At least, in his opinion, there must be doubts about the target in the heart of the marquis.

"In the present situation, many people are suspicious. The reorganization of the two battalions and the thirty-six guards in the north and the South involved the interests of too many people. "

"I dare not speculate!"

The Duke of Zhenjun had a heavy face.

Emperor Yongping lost his words in an instant.

But just for a moment of silence, Emperor Yongping stared at the Marquis of Zhenjun and said, "you mean someone doesn't want me to reorganize the north and South battalions!"

"It's just a possibility!"

The Marquis of Zhenjun really has a big problem in his heart. Is that what he means?

He just doesn't want to make a suspicious target and say so casually. If emperor Yongping is allowed to play, he is afraid that he will offend many military dignitaries.
