Chapter 225: Archery Sneak Attack (Chapter 3/5 for the Alliance Leader's Lazy Search)
"Your Majesty, this is the guard 'Batu' selected by the minister!"
Guo Lan took a sturdy man in iron armor and knelt in front of Guangxu. 【New Ideas Chinese Network - Hand-typed Text Version 】
At this time, Guangxu was also waiting under the eunuch's waiting, wearing a protective inner armor on his body, and when he saw the majestic figure of the big man, he couldn't help but be happy: "Stand up and let me see!"
"Wow!"
The big man named "Batu" stood up immediately, and suddenly the sunlight at the door was much darker.
Guangxu fixed his eyes and saw that this big man had thick lips and wide mouth, thick eyebrows and eyes, and was seven feet tall, according to foreigners, he was more than two meters tall, and his body was majestic, just like a strong old bear, which made people daunting at first sight.
Guangxu, who was thin and weak, stood in front of this Badu, just like a monkey, as if the other party could grab his waist with one hand.
Guangxu couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "'Batu', that is the meaning of 'hero, warrior' in our Manchurian dialect.
But you are so majestic, why haven't I seen you in the palace?"
Hearing this, Badu knelt down again: "Emperor Qiqi, the slave is the guard of Prince Alcohol's mansion, and when he entered Beijing three years ago, he was promoted to the palace guard by Prince Alcohol!"
"I only entered Beijing three years ago?
The more Guangxu looked at it, the more happy he became, and asked again, "Then what will you do?"
"The minions used to be good at wrestling, but after entering the palace, they changed to double iron shields!"
"Oh, double iron shields, Zhang Biao, you come to compare with this Badu!!" With his own life and death, Guangxu didn't examine it with his own eyes, and he was very uneasy.
Zhang Biao was originally a Taiyuan standard soldier, and because of his outstanding martial arts, he was promoted by Zhang Zhidong to Guangxu's bodyguard, and was quite trusted by Guangxu.
A short-bearded man who was neither fat nor thin knelt down and kowtowed, and then came to the open space in front of the hall with an unkind face and took off his waist knife.
Guarding the emperor, their group of guards were not reused, but an outsider came, and Zhang Biao naturally showed no mercy.
Zhang Biao made a steel knife, and he was also an invincible opponent in the palace on weekdays.
But in the face of Batu's pair of iron shields the size of a small round table, he had no way to start, and in just one round, he was hit by Batu with a heavy shield, smashed to the ground, and vomited blood.
Guangxu was overjoyed when he saw it, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Biao on the ground, stepped forward to comfort him, and directly stayed by his side, feeling a little more confident in his heart.
After all, such a tall and majestic Manchurian warrior made a weapon like a double iron shield and put on an iron armor, just like an iron tower, giving people an extra sense of security.
……
Guangxu was very happy to be protected by warriors, but he also had a little question: "Why is there only one? Is there only one warrior among the royal family members?"
Guo Lan said: "The emperor forgives the sin, but Weichen and several commanders have been thinking about it for a long time, and they feel that this warrior is not good for much, but more will hinder each other, and it is easy to be taken advantage of by that demon!"
Moreover, Batu is only the emperor's personal guard, the last line of defense, there is a team of internal guards outside, and there are warriors from the Eight Banners and various palaces on the outermost, swords and guns are like a forest, as long as the military formation is lined up, it is enough to resist that page of the book!"
Guangxu thought for a while, and probably felt that this was right, so he didn't say anything more.
Guo Lan saw that the guards had passed, so he waited for Guangxu to put on his inner armor and dragon robes, summoned selected elite guards, and escorted Guangxu to the south city gate, that is, Yongding Gate.
On the street, after yesterday's posting of the appointment list, the road has been cleared today.
Guangxu sat in one of the sedan chairs, and for a while, there was still a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and he summoned Guo Lan to his side at the moment: "A page of books leads hundreds of horses, so you can't find their hiding place, and directly encircle and suppress them with a large army?"
Guo Lan was a little helpless when he heard this:
"The emperor forgives the sin!
There are really too many rebel forces in the vicinity, such as the Red Lantern Zhao, the White Lotus Sect, and the remnants of the boxers and revolutionaries!
That page of the book marched all the way, and everywhere it went, it would be scattered in all directions, and the rebel forces that had been agreed upon by the locality, hundreds of people would be like mud and sand into the water, and it would be difficult to find them!
There were also those who took advantage of the dispersion of their forces to besiege and kill them separately.
But every time a page of the book was discovered, he gathered all the armies and trampled those court forces into mud and wiped out their clans!
After a long time, no one dared to attack them......"
Guangxu was bored when he heard this, waved his hand, and sat back in the sedan chair, holding his two hands tightly on his legs, feeling both relief and tension in the face of danger.
Fortunately, there was no obstacle on the road, and during Guangxu's daze, everyone had come to Yongding Gate in the capital.
At this time, it was already noon, and the scorching sun was in the sky, bringing warmth to the cold Guangxu.
All kinds of ceremonial guards are readily available, plus on the city wall and under the city wall, the armor is distinct, and for a while, it also looks extraordinary.
The only thing that is an eyesore is that many soldiers have a large smoking gun pinned to their waists.
That's the "twin spearmen"!
Seeing that it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, those two-spear soldiers actually "took drugs before the game" like this, lit fireworks one by one, and smoked a big cigarette beautifully.
Guangxu saw it, although he was also a little unhappy, but he did not have a seizure.
No way, no seizures.
Since the court has been growing big cigarettes for decades, in the entire Qing Dynasty, almost one out of ten people is smoking big cigarettes, officials and merchants, nobles, and royal mansions, all of them are smoking.
Fortunately, after smoking, this group of people had a short period of excitement, and their combat effectiveness was not affected for the time being.
Batu behind Guangxu twitched, looked at the soldiers smoking a lot below, a trace of envy appeared in his eyes, his nose twitched, and he turned his head and looked out of the city.
I am now the emperor's guard, and my future is related to my life, and now is not the time to smoke......
……
In the midst of this confusion of thoughts, thunder suddenly sounded outside the city.
More than 400 rides, such as the confluence of hundreds of rivers, came to Yongding Gate, the head of one person and one ride, the horse is like a dragon, the knight is a long body, the body is as steady as a tiger.
It's Ye Shu!
Seeing the nightmare of seven years ago again, Guangxu's heart trembled, he forcibly endured the panic in his heart, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "Mr. Ye, we had a very happy conversation seven years ago, and I even intended to serve you as a national teacher, why is this the case now!"
Ye Shu handed Su Xiaobai in front of him to Lu Haodong, rode his horse forward dozens of steps, and came to the city under the city, which was only sixty or seventy meters away from the city wall: "Without him, I just feel lonely under Cixi's nine springs, so I came to see her!"
Guangxu's face turned white, and then he was furious.
As if feeling his anger, a seemingly ordinary archer on the city wall, the arrow in his hand suddenly let go, and a slender feather arrow shot out a sharp wind sound and shot straight towards Ye Shu.
It was exactly arranged, the marksman who assassinated Ye Shu!
Guangxu was overjoyed in his heart, his eyes looked straight down, and he was looking forward to it.
But he never thought that Ye Shu under the city just waved his right hand and grabbed the feather arrow, and the "Tiger Strength Bow" appeared out of thin air in his left hand, bent the bow and took the arrow, and shot out with an arrow.
“biu!”
With a sound, the arrow sprang faster than it had come, and it turned back the way it came, and an arrow struck the archer by the neck......
PS: I'm very ashamed, these days, I haven't added the rest of the rest, Ah Xun, you still support me like this, I'm really grateful.
But then again, I found this book, everyone is very friendly to me, although the grades are poor, but compared to the period of "The Beginning of Martial Arts", the two alliance leaders are simply heartwarming!
