Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 119

[Chapter 119 Attacked]

“Protect Your Highness!”

Xu Lie broke out in a cold sweat.

He searched for his reputation, and saw a vendor who was originally selling goods on the side of the road quickly rushed towards a person dressed as a commoner pushing a wheelbarrow.

Currently, the carriage is in the middle of the intersection.

He hurriedly looked around, and found that there were also such “common people” carts rushing over from the other three directions of the intersection, surrounding them.

Their car was covered with straw, and as they rushed over, they picked up a torch and blew it on, and threw it on the car, which immediately caught fire.

“Protect Your Highness!” Xu Lie yelled, jumped off the horse, grabbed the driver’s reins and yanked violently.

The horse sped up immediately with a neigh.

Without even thinking about it, Xu Lie rushed towards the “common people” who were thrown by the vendors.

The carriage galloped less than 30 meters away, when suddenly there were three loud bangs.

The sound was so loud that his ears hurt from the shock.

At the same time, a huge force spread from the air like lightning.

He only felt that he and the carriage were tilted, and he fell to the ground.

“Your Highness!” Xu Lie was so frightened that his heart wanted to jump out of his chest.

He hurriedly got up and opened the carriage, only to see King Yan’s blurred eyes open, somewhat clear, and he took a breath.

“Protect Your Highness!” Xu Lie shouted again.

Most of the guards who rushed over with him fell to the ground at this time.

Their horses startled and threw them to the ground.

The guards got up and came to Xu Lie’s side, forming a circle along the carriage.

Xu Lie looked at where the explosion came from.

The place was a mess.

The doors and windows of the shops near the explosion were all torn off, some of which were still emitting green smoke.

The peddler who jumped on the attacker covered his ears in pain, while the attacker lay on the ground, lifeless.

Seeing such a miserable scene, Xu Lie’s palms were sweating even more.

If the peddler hadn’t rushed to one of them in time, and the carriage was squeezed in the middle by four carts, King Yan would surely have died.

As Zhao Xu’s personal bodyguard, he knew that the merchant was not an ordinary citizen, but a member of the secret agency set up by King Yan.

He is responsible for the protection of the surface, and they are responsible for the protection of the dark.

The loud noise was heard throughout Yancheng.

Not long after, a group of cavalry came on horseback and stopped in front of the carriage.

They are responsible for the pro-army soldiers guarding the city.

Xu Lie breathed a sigh of relief, he had never dared to leave King Yan, fearing that the attackers would attack again while taking advantage of the chaos.

Now a large number of soldiers came, and he opened the curtain again to check whether King Yan was injured.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he put his head in, he saw Zhao Xu staring at him with open eyes, breathing out the breath of alcohol, and said softly, “Cry! Cry loudly!”

Xu Lie understood, and burst into tears, “Your Highness…Your Highness …”

While crying, he stuck out his head, beat his chest and stamped his feet.

Seeing Xu Lie like this, the guards all thought that King Yan was dead, their faces were all pale, and they burst into tears.

Seeing the guards like this, the soldiers who rushed over had some guesses in their hearts. Some soldiers immediately burst into tears and sobbed.

Seeing the guards and soldiers like this, the people who were still in shock were stunned.

They suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

Some people fell to their knees and howled loudly, “His Royal Highness, you can’t die…”

“Your Highness.”

“…”

Xu Lie covered his face and cried for a while, and ordered the guards to help the carriage, regardless of others, and went to the palace with the carriage.

Back at the palace, he led the carriage straight to the yard.

At this time, Zhao Xu opened the door and floated down from the carriage.

The guards who cried all the way were suddenly dumbfounded.

what is happening?

Zhao Xu tried his best to control his footsteps, he was still under the influence of alcohol, and he still couldn’t completely control his body, but the explosion cleared his mind.

Made, so ruthless, even blasted him in ancient times.

How much this man wanted to kill himself.

If he was at the center of the explosion, he would probably be torn apart by now.

At the same time, he should also be grateful for the black powder of this era.

This is the most primitive black powder, not very powerful.

Otherwise you have to burp.

“Don’t tell me about the current situation of this king, and let them think that this king is dead.” Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes.

When he was sober, he decided to fake his death.

In this way, he will see who is the first to attack Yan County. Those who can’t wait are naturally the most suspicious and easy to show their feet.

At the same time, he also has his own considerations. In the past few months, he has used many people to fill the government office and the army. He still doesn’t know how loyal these people are.

And if he faked his death, those with evil intentions would definitely take action.

Later, he will ask Yanwei to monitor the whole county.

It’s not that he is narrow-minded, but that he is the King of Yan, and in this position, he has to be as cunning and cautious as a fox sometimes.

Only in this way can the hidden dangers of Yan County be eradicated at a very early stage.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Xu Lie and the guards responded.

As soon as Zhao Xu arrived, Feng’er and Luan’er came out to welcome him.

Seeing that King Yan was reeking of alcohol and still in good spirits, their hearts fell to the ground.

“Your Highness, what happened just now?” Feng’er asked.

The sound just now was the same as thunder, and they could hear it clearly.

“Let’s go back to the dormitory.” The danger passed, the tense nerves relaxed, and the drunkenness occupied Zhao Xu’s brain again.

He showed a smirk, and walked towards the backyard with one arm in his arms, making the two of them coquettishly angry.

Wait for Zhao Xu to go back.

Xu Lie said to one of the guards, “Go to the place where the explosion happened and see if the attacker is dead.”

The person protecting King Yan was not dead, so he didn’t know if that person was dead.

Beidaying.

After Chang Wei heard the news of Zhao Xu’s attack, he immediately sobered up.

After he ordered cold water to wake Lu Chang and others up, he hurried to the palace.

But when he reached the door, he was stopped by Xu Lie.

“How is your Highness?” Chang Wei looked anxious.

Xu Lie sighed and shook his head.

Chang Wei’s face turned pale in an instant, and he sat down on the ground and wept loudly.

The drunkenness was still driving him, at this moment, he suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist and put it on his neck, “Your Highness is dead, there is no one in the world, and my life is useless!”

Xu Lie was startled, and hurried to grab the sword .

Chen Hu and Lu Chang also helped, and Lu Chang said: “General, after His Highness is buried, it won’t be too late for us to go underground to follow His Highness.”

Chang Wei yelled, and beat his feet and chest again.

At this moment, Liu Fu came out from inside, with still fresh blood on his head.

Standing at the door, with a helpless look, he said to Chang Wei: “Come in, go see Your Highness first.”

Then, he touched his head and grinned in pain.

He came earlier than Chang Wei, and after he mistakenly thought that King Yan was really dead, he felt very sad and wanted to hit the wall to show his will.

Fortunately, he was pulled by Xu Lie, but only bumped into a pimple.

Xu Lie had no choice but to tell King Yan’s plan.

He was going to see King Yan, but he didn’t expect Chang Wei to come too.

Seeing Liu Fu’s calm expression, Chang Wei immediately felt something was wrong, put his sword into its sheath, and entered the palace.
