That would only make everyone think about danger, and morale would collapse in an instant.

Therefore, Li Boxi tried every means to prevent Qi Yingzong from escaping.

If Chu Ge had followed Chu Ge's original approach, he would have immediately gone to Li Boxi's house to invite the left prime minister, and then combined with many officials from the main war faction to stop Qi Yingzong's car and persuade him to go back.

After all, he is the emperor. Even if he escapes, what can the ministers do?

But this time, Qi Yingzong's car was almost at the side door, and he was safe and sound along the way without any accidents.

Everything is quiet.

"The official family has sent someone to inform the defenders to open the door." Outside the car curtain, the servant reported in a low voice.

The huge stone weighing on Qi Yingzong's heart finally fell to the ground. He slightly opened the curtains of the carriage and saw only the dark night outside.

What a good time to run away!

Qi Yingzong couldn't help but be proud of his wisdom and martial arts again.

And in this atmosphere, everyone else in the car also felt briefly relaxed.

Arrived at the city gate!

This means that basically nothing will happen in the city.

The guards around them were all tense along the way, and now they could finally relax for a few minutes.

After leaving the city, you have to tense up again and continue running for your life.

However, just when he went to notify the city gate defenders to open the city gate, a roar suddenly broke out in the quiet night.

"Death to the dog emperor!"

The guards around Qi Yingzong's chariot were instantly startled and were so frightened that they hurriedly took precautions.

But when they looked in the direction of the sound, they found that the sound came from mid-air.

Someone actually jumped from the roof beside the road, and his target was the emperor's car parked in the middle of the road!

Because Qi Yingzong wanted to keep a low profile when escaping, he did not take the main road in the city. The road was not very spacious. Therefore, when this person jumped from the air, the driving distance from Qi Yingzong was already less than ten meters.

Ten meters is still a distance that is difficult to achieve successfully.

If it is on flat ground, whether it is a crossbow or any other long-range weapon, it will be blocked by the guards with their bodies.

In the air, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of bows and arrows or crossbows.

What's more, the emperor was driving in a spacious car, blocked by layers of curtains, and it was difficult for an arrow to accurately shoot through the window and hit the vital point.

If it missed the target at all, or if it only hit an insignificant position like the arm, there would still be no chance of killing the emperor completely.

But when the assassin fell in the air, he was holding a strange-shaped bamboo tube in his hand.

Behind the bamboo tube, there is still a burning lead.

Some of the guards recognized what it was, but many others had confusion in their eyes. After all, things like muskets were just rare items sealed in the warehouse of the Ministry of War. They had not been equipped on a large scale in the army, and they were not likely to be used by ordinary people.

Well known.

But soon, the whole world will know about this thing called a sudden fire gun.

When Li Hongyun was in mid-air and had not yet landed, his sight went beyond the layers of guards surrounding the emperor's car, and the black bamboo tube was also aimed at the curtain at the window of the emperor's car.

Being condescending, murderous intent is revealed!

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and smoke and huge flames erupted from the gun in Li Hongyun's hand. At this moment, a large amount of broken iron, gravel and gunpowder that had been compacted in the barrel shot out radially like a volcano erupting.

Qi Yingzong’s car!

After a dense crackling sound, the thin car curtain that was originally put down was instantly riddled with holes, and the scattered sparks ignited the car curtain, burning quickly.

Li Hongyun was not sure whether he succeeded at first, but shortly after the loud noise of the muskets, the emperor's screams came from inside the car.

"ah!!!"

The surrounding chamberlains and guards had never heard the emperor make such a sound.

"Escort! Hurry, escort!"

"Capture the assassin! Don't let him escape!"

The entire car area suddenly became chaotic.

But the busyness of these people is ultimately in vain.

After Li Hongyun fired a shot in the air, he fell heavily into the crowd of guards.

But when the guards drew out their sabers to catch him, Li Hongyun drew out the dagger without hesitation and stabbed himself in the chest.

After experiencing repeated beatings in the game "Dark Sand", committing suicide without changing a look has become a basic skill for players.

The chamberlains hurriedly checked on Qi Yingzong's condition and half-dragged and half-dragged him out of the car that had started to catch fire.

But the scene at this time was shocking.

The musket fired from top to bottom, burning out the fuse at the perfect time, triggering an explosion. Driven by the gunpowder explosion, a large number of broken iron pieces and stones were shot in from the window of the car, covering the head and face.

Qi Yingzong's face was covered with terrible scars. A large number of sharp iron blocks and gravel were embedded in his head, face, neck, chest and other vital parts. He was still making "sizzling" sounds due to the high temperature and smoke.

sound.

His eyes were completely blind, and he could only scratch his hands unwillingly, while making extremely angry sounds from his mouth.

“Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!

"Who dares to assassinate me! Catch him! Cut his body into pieces! Exterminate the nine tribes!

"Kill! Kill..."

But this painful roar gradually became lower and lower, and the emperor who had just ascended the throne died on the street a step away from the city gate.

In fact, if he had been in the palace honestly, Li Hongyun would never have found a chance to assassinate him.

Even if Chu Ge, the censor Zhongcheng, acts as an internal support, there is no hope of success.

Unless you can directly bribe a certain servant, or switch the contract and replace it with one of your own... But that possibility is really too low.

On the contrary, if the emperor himself wants to leave the palace and run into the streets, no one else can blame him.

All I can say is...people who are good at seeking death will always die on the road to seeking death.

…

Li Hongyun's eyes were filled with mist, and just when he thought that today's happiness was about to end, he suddenly found that a completely different scene appeared in front of him.

At the same time that Qi Yingzong was assassinated, the Jin people also pressed forward with troops.

Under such circumstances, there was no time to hold a grand funeral, so we had to follow the authority.

A new emperor ascended the throne, and then Li Boxi still presided over the defense of the capital.

However, the investigation of the assassination of Qi Yingzong by the Ministry of Justice continued to advance. Soon, the origin of the musket was found out, and the censor Zhongcheng Li Hao was also implicated, and he committed suicide at home out of fear of guilt.

However, as the scenes in his field of vision passed by quickly like a revolving lantern, Li Hongyun was surprised to find that the capital... had not been breached!

At least, it lasted longer than the original capital.

The subsequent screen was not displayed again, but was replaced by a line of system prompts.

[Trial Fantasy: Eight Thousand Miles Road Yunheyue]

[Complete the first stage! New identity and heroic spirit summoning function have been unlocked! 】

"Ah? Is this okay?"

Li Hongyun was stunned.

In fact, when he first decided to assassinate the emperor, it was just to cooperate with Chu Ge. In fact, Chu Ge did not have time to explain the plan to him in detail.

After all, the two of them are so familiar and trust each other that there is no need to waste time on unnecessary explanations.

Li Hongyun came to carry out this task, partly out of his own resentment, but also because he felt that tonight's time was almost up anyway, so he might as well do something big.

But, can the capital be defended by killing the emperor?

Li Hongyun felt that this was probably a waste of time. But even if it was a waste of time, killing an emperor conveniently would not be a loss.

If I can't kill Wan Yansheng, I can't kill you, Qi Yingzong?

After the successful assassination, he actually passed the first stage, which was a bit unexpected for Li Hongyun.

The fog filled the air again, and Li Hongyun realized that he was about to wake up in reality.

Everything is just right.

…

"Why did you clear the first stage by killing Qi Yingzong?"

The first thing Li Hongyun did after waking up was to ask Chu Ge the questions in his heart.

Chu Ge also had a smile on his face.
