I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 184: Universal Celebration, Assassin Attacks

When Shen Changgong comes back, he definitely won't take a carriage.

After winning a great victory, one naturally wants to return home in glory, enjoy the love and admiration of the people, let the common people and officials admire his heroic figure, and thus inspire people.

Commander Shen Changgong led the way, followed by the generals, and the emperor's dragon chariot was in the middle.

The team returning to Beijing stopped, and Shen Changgong winked at his sister-in-law. His sister-in-law looked at him infatuatedly. His handsome face, his tall body, and his heroic appearance in the shining armor were so perfect that he looked like a work of art. His sister-in-law's pretty face flushed as she looked at him, and she quickly lowered her head.

My sister-in-law doesn't ask for much, just to be able to see him at the first moment.

All civil and military officials, along with the people, knelt down together.

"Greetings to our Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Congratulations to His Majesty on your triumphant return with your army!"

The curtain of the dragon chariot was lifted, and the peerless empress in a bright red dragon robe walked out. With a dot of cinnabar on her forehead, she looked even more majestic.

"All the nobles, please stand up! All the people, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yan Fuyao spoke majestically,

"The enemy from Kun State invaded our territory without any reason. This is an irreconcilable feud. Fortunately, the two kings led the troops wisely and the soldiers fought bravely, so we were able to quell the rebellion.

Prince Ning Zhu Zhen committed treason and surrendered to the enemy. His crime is unforgivable. All nine generations of his clan will be executed and he will be tortured to death at a later date!

Today, our Great Yan army has returned victoriously. I declare that all the people of the land will celebrate and grant amnesty to the world!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All the ministers stood up and made way to the side.

Lanling Wang took the lead and walked towards the city.

When passing by my sister-in-law, I said to my father Shen Wanguan,

"Father, sister-in-law, please go home and wait for me. I'm busy with work just after returning to the capital. I'll go home in the evening."

"Okay, okay, you are busy, you are busy."

Although Shen Wanguan was only an earl, he had become the most powerful person in the capital.

Although almost all the powerful and influential people in the capital were killed, there were still many powerful and influential people who only had idle titles. They had no power and had not done any evil. They were honest and decent people. You can't just chop off their heads, right?

The team marched into Beijing in a mighty procession. Along the way, there were security guards with guards every three steps and sentries every five steps. Only outside were the common people.

Countless people in the capital lined the streets to welcome them and cheered excitedly.

This Lanling Daqingtian was not only good at governing the country and helping them kill corrupt officials and powerful people, but he was also good at commanding the army. In just one month, he defeated the 300,000 Kun army with 200,000 central troops.

You have to know that it is the powerful Kun Country. Anyone from Yan State, when they mention Kun Country, they all speak with fear. When they go abroad to do business, as long as they meet Kun people, no matter which country they are in, they will involuntarily feel inferior to them.

Faced with the arrogance and domineering behavior of the Kun people, they could only swallow their anger and bear it.

There is no way. If the country is weak, the people will be weak. Your country is a weak country and dares not offend the strong countries. You have to swallow your anger in diplomacy. You can't even hold your head up, so how can your people hold their heads up?

But now it's different.

Lanling Wang led his army of Great Yan and accomplished an impossible feat.

He broke Kunren's spine with one punch, and then told Yanren that Kunren was a piece of shit, a paper tiger, and they all had to stand up straight!

The Yan people were no longer afraid of the Kun people, and the Yan people defeated the Kun people!

If you dare to hit me, I will beat you to death!

This is the truth that Lanling King Shen Changgong taught the Yan people.

The people cheered and shouted loudly, praising Lanling King.

However, in this moment of national celebration, amidst the noisy cheers of the people, there is a dangerous undercurrent.

Shen Changgong was riding a horse and walking forward. Suddenly, the windows of two shops on both sides of the street opened, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot towards Shen Changgong.

Shen Changgong didn't see the crossbow arrow, but his instinctive sense of crisis made him lie down immediately.

Some of those crossbow arrows hit him and were blocked by his armor, while others missed and stabbed into the ground.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The surrounding security soldiers were shocked when they saw this and immediately rushed towards Shen Changgong.

When the people in the windows saw that their attacks missed, they immediately dropped their crossbows and jumped out of the windows with their knives.

These people were very good at martial arts and they stepped on the shoulders of the people and rushed over quickly.

They rolled over to Shen Changgong's side and started to chop him with their knives.

Several security soldiers were immediately chopped to the ground. Although there were more soldiers surrounding them, these assassins seemed to not care whether they had a way to retreat or not, and wanted to fight to the death with Shen Changgong.

Suddenly, Shen Changgong's hands moved.

Two cold lights flashed by, and the two assassins who rushed the fastest immediately spurted blood from their throats and fell to the ground dead.

Shen Changgong sat up straight and shouted behind him,

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The palace guards beside the dragon chariot reacted extremely quickly. They jumped up, jumped onto the chariot, clung to the roof of the chariot, and used their bodies to protect the surroundings to guard against the enemy's hidden arrows.

Some of the guards and security forces rushed towards the teahouses on both sides, while some went to protect Shen Changgong.

There are at least twenty enemies around Shen Changgong.

Tu Queling behind him jumped up, drew out the two daggers behind him, and started fighting with the enemy.

A young assassin, with a ferocious face and roaring angrily, rushed towards Shen Changgong.

"Kill the tyrant! Punish the thief Shen!"

This roar seemed to be filled with irreconcilable hatred.

He faced the scimitar that Shen Changgong was slashing at him, without dodging or evading. He would rather be killed than stab the sword in his hand into Shen Changgong's body.

If this sword is stabbed down, both sides will suffer losses.

But Shen Changgong still has a knife.

Shen Changgong cut his sword with the first blow, and the second blow directly hit his chest. Then the tip of the sword bent downward, directly hanging on the opponent's body and smashing it heavily to the ground.

The young man vomited blood and convulsed all over.

Shen Changgong's eyes were cold and his face was expressionless throughout.

Killing is as easy for him as eating and drinking.

Assassination is like showing off one's skills in front of an expert or waving a sword in front of Guan Gong.

As more and more people rushed over, the shadow guards also rushed down from above and quickly joined the battle.

Now Shen Changgong had no chance to deal with it. He grabbed an assassin, broke his arm, and then stepped on him hard.

Things are different now. Back then, there were twenty or thirty of them, and they were besieged by fifty assassins sent by Tu Que Ling on a rainy night. Shen Changgong fought for a long time before he killed them all.

And now, he is surrounded by his people.

Regardless of whether these assassins succeed or not, they are destined to die.

Lu Bing shouted,

"Don't kill them all, leave some alive."

"Go and arrest all the shopkeepers and employees of those two shops, and bring everyone inside to the Imperial Court Jail!"
