On March 20, the spring equinox, the court of Fengguo officially took over Zhenjiang.
On this day, the excitement of Zhenjiang was unprecedented. People were everywhere in the streets and alleys outside the city. People in Mo Di didn't want to miss the once-in-a-century event. They rushed to Zhenjiang to watch the excitement. Even many Fengren and Ningren came all the way to Zhenjiang.
Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen had already made arrangements. When the imperial court of Fengguo just entered the gate of Zhenjiang, the petals poured down from above the wall.
The red flowers are flying all over the sky and form a red ocean with the red tassels on the heads of the soldiers of the wind country. It's like the beauty of a dream.
"Wind! Wind! Strong wind! Strong wind -" this scene also infected the long-distance wind army. The soldiers shouted in unison and shouted the country name of the wind country. The shouts were stronger than one round.
The passion of the officers and men of the wind country soon excited the people around. Even Mo people shouted the country name of the wind country.
The deafening shouts at the scene finally relieved Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, who had been working hard for months to prepare for the relocation of the capital, and their hearts fell in half.
Such a lively welcome scene should be regarded as a great success?!
Now the only thing they still feel uneasy about is that they are afraid of making trouble. This time, too many people rushed to Zhenjiang from all directions, and there were too many spiritual practitioners. Whoever rushed to ensure that there would be no ill intentioned assassins. If the assassination was found on the day when the imperial court took charge of Zhenjiang, the face of Fengguo would be lost.
Next to Qiu Zhen are Cheng Jin, the leader of the hidden arrow, Gu Chen, the deputy commander of the Lieutenant's house, and Lei Zhen, the manager of the Duwei camp who arrived in Zhenjiang in advance. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony on this day, the hidden arrow, the lieutenant's house and the Duwei camp have all used their skills. These days, there are more than 200 spiritual practitioners secretly arrested by them alone.
While following Tang Yin's carriage, Qiu Zhen whispered to Cheng Jin, Gu Chen and Lei zhensan: "has this section of the road been verified? Who is deploying defense?"
"Qiu Xiang, this is the last general's defense." Lei Zhen arched his hand and said, "the pavilions on both sides of the road have been controlled by our brothers in Duwei camp. It's absolutely safe."
That's what he said, but Qiu Zhen was still worried and urged: "send someone to check again quickly! Zhenjiang is a place of Mo, and I don't know how many Mo people want the king's life. We must not take it lightly."
Lei Zhen also knew that the matter was important and could not tolerate any carelessness. He waved to the deputy manager around him and said in a hurry, "send someone to check this section of the road again. Anyone who is suspicious, whether spiritual practitioners or not, can be arrested temporarily without cross examination."
"I will obey!" The deputy manager of Duwei camp stepped in and took the elite of Duwei camp, crossed Tang Yin's carriage and went to the road ahead for inspection.
In fact, no matter which country it is, the monarch's travel is laboring. When the monarch sits comfortably in the carriage, eats snacks, drinks tea, and chats and has fun with his concubine or courtiers, the following officers and men don't know what to do! The same person has different lives, which is exactly the truth.
Now Tang Yin is not alone in the carriage, and his wives are among them.
Wu Mei and Xiao Na are the most lively and active. They open a corner of the window curtain from time to time and look out strangely. The difference between Mo state and Feng state is not small, and the architectural styles of Zhenjiang and Yancheng are also completely different.
Zhenjiang is close to the river and adjacent to the water. The climate is relatively humid. If the main body of the building is made of wood, it is easy to be damaged. Therefore, most of the buildings in Zhenjiang are made of stone, supplemented by wood.
The stones are exquisite. Among them, the bluestones produced by Zeping and Haowan counties are the most precious, solid and beautiful. The new palace built under the supervision of Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen is dominated by bluestone and supplemented by jade.
Watching the buildings on both sides of the street, Wu Mei and Xiao Na made strange noises from time to time.
Fan min sat next to Tang Yin, making tea slowly. While drinking with Tang Yin slowly, he sneered: "I feel strange when I see anything. I've never seen the world."
She said this to Wu Mei, not to Xiao Na. Tang Yin's wives, except for Wu Mei and fan Min who quarrel and quarrel all the time, the feelings of others are still very good.
Hearing her words, Wu Mei angrily lowered the curtains, glared at fan min and said, "you want to quarrel again, don't you? This palace is not afraid of you!" As she spoke, she rolled her arms and sleeves as if she were going to fight with fan min.
"Manners! Watch your manners! It's funny that you deserve to be the lady of the monarch like you." Old fan min sat there, motionless, and turned a blind eye to the dancing charm.
"Husband -" every time Wumei quarrels with fan min, it is often her who finally loses the battle. This time is no exception. She can't take advantage of fan min. Wumei can only get into Tang Yin's arms and act like a spoiled child.
Xiangyu was full of and Tang Yin enjoyed it. He gently stroked Wumei's smooth and delicate arm exposed outside, just like a baby. He just smiled, but didn't say a word. He raised Wumei's jade arm from time to time, kissed and rubbed it.
Wu Mei was itched by him. She took her arm out of Tang Yin's hand with great strength and muttered, "ignore you..."
Before she finished speaking, Tang Yin had knocked her down under her, and suddenly thought of a poem. He didn't remember who wrote it. "The lotus tent warms the spring night, and the emperor will not be in the early dynasty!"
He just said it casually, but made Wu Mei, fan min and Yuan Qianyi, who had always been calm, stiff. This poem is obviously that Tang Yin compared himself to an emperor. If it was spread, how could it be better? I don't know how many accusations to draw!
Only Xiao Na, who was not very proficient in wind language, smiled and applauded: "what an interesting poem!"
Tang Yin laughed on her back and took Xiao Na into her arms.
While they were talking, laughing and playing in the carriage, they suddenly heard a crisp click from the car wall, and then a two finger thick iron pliers stabbed in from the outside.
The iron tongs came so suddenly and so fast that Tang Yin didn't react at all. Fortunately, he was lying in the carriage, and the iron tongs almost leaned across his head. It was only a millimetre away from stabbing his head.
Tang Yin was dumbfounded, and several ladies in the same car were stunned. They stared at the iron pliers across the car and didn't react for a long time. At the same time, there was a mess outside. They heard people shouting and screaming.
"King -" with a hasty cry, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the outside, and ah San, ah Si and many bodyguards gathered outside the carriage.
When they looked inside the car, they were scared to death. Tang Yin was lying in the carriage with Wu Mei and Xiao Na in his arms, and one of his hands was still stretched into Xiao Na's open collar. It didn't matter. The key was that Tang Yin had a pair of iron tongs across his body, which was close to his scalp, and the iron tongs were only within measure from fan min and Yuan Qianyi.
"Your Majesty... Are you all right..." ah San and ah Si asked, sweating and tongue tied.
Tang Yin's face had no expression, no smile or anger. He couldn't see how he was feeling now. He let go of Wu Mei and Xiao Na in his arms, avoided the pliers across his head, sat up slowly, and then walked out of the carriage with a hairy waist.
"King, it's dangerous outside!" A San and a Si also wanted to stop Tang Yin. The latter waved away the two of them and asked in a deep voice, "is it safe in the car?" As he spoke, two glittering machetes appeared in his palm.
He looked around. There were panic stricken people everywhere. There were soldiers tracking down assassins everywhere. Looking at the side of the car wall, half of the iron pliers were exposed. What annoyed Tang Yin most was that there was a banner hanging at the tail of the iron pliers, with 16 big words in blood red: the wind thief was shameless, invaded me, it was unreasonable, and heaven and earth were killed.
Tang Yin looked at it and walked to the car wall with big steps. He cut off the amplitude modulation with a knife, grabbed it in his palm and held it tightly.
At this time, Qiu Zhen, Cheng Jin, Gu Chen, Lei Zhen and others also hurried over. When they saw the iron pliers inserted in the king's carriage, they trembled and asked in unison, "is the king hurt?"
Lazy to answer, Tang Yin waved the banner to Qiu Zhen and said coldly, "look for yourself!" As he spoke, he put away his machete, raised his hand, took out the iron pliers and threw them on the ground. Then he turned back to the car without saying anything.
Qiu Zhen and others unfolded the banner and looked down. The cold sweat of the four people flowed out.
I'm really afraid of what comes from what. I'm afraid there will be trouble on the day when the imperial court takes charge of Zhenjiang. As a result, the king was assassinated. Moreover, the assassin was bold enough to hang up banners and write rebellious remarks. No wonder the king would be angry.
"Check! Go and find out the assassin quickly!" Qiu Zhen gathered the banner into a group and said to Cheng Jin, Gu Chen and Lei Zhen in a deep voice.
Now they go to track down the assassin. There is still time. The assassin who assassinated has long run away without a trace. The soldiers who track down only find a crossbow bed. This crossbow bed is very similar to the catapult, but it has been properly modified to make it smaller.
Its hiding position is very ingenious. It is located on the top beam of a roadside house. There are tiles on it. Looking from the outside, there is no flaw at all. When the assassin wants to launch it, he just needs to climb up the top beam of the house and take down a tile so that the edge of the crossbow can be exposed.
Obviously, the assassin's action was carefully arranged. If Tang Yin and his wives were not lucky, I'm afraid the arrow would suddenly shoot and hurt several people.
