Chapter 67: Dare

This firework suddenly exploded over the city gate, and people inside and outside the city gate couldn't help but look up.

Unlike the dazzling fireworks that lit up in the direction of the palace in the distance, this one looks a little plain.

But now is not the time to compare which fireworks are better.

Qin Arc's complexion changed.

"Archery." He shouted.

The guards at the gate hesitated for a moment.

"Lord Xiao Qin, that's the King of Jin'an County." One said hesitantly.

"He's also a county king who wants to rebel!" Qin Arc shouted coldly, "He's going to break through the city gate." ”

How?

Before the thought fell, I heard the faint sound of horses' hooves coming from inside the city, and the sound of chaotic footsteps from a distance on the city wall, as if many people were gathering in this direction.

"Sure enough, the wolf is ambitious! He even arranged manpower for his own use in the defense of the imperial city! Qin Arc sneered, but he didn't see any panic, and shouted, "Go and inform Lord Song in front of the palace, martial law in the capital, even if you break through and open the city gate, you won't be able to enter the city for half a step." ”

A few of the attendants turned and left.

And the bows and arrows of the city gate guards did not hesitate to shoot down, but in the blink of an eye and the gap between them, the king of Jin'an and the others had already stuck to the city wall, avoiding the arrows shot by the city gate guards.

The people under the walls were silent.

"You...."Zhou Zhen said suddenly.

Mr. Gu and Father-in-law Jing all looked at him.

"If you can break through the gates, I will escort you through the city." Zhou Zhen said.

Protect us in the city?

Mr. Gu and the others looked at him.

At the moment when they hid under the city gate, everyone easily extinguished the torches in their hands, and their vision was dim. But you can also see that the patrolmen around Zhou Zhen looked terrified, as if they had seen a ghost.

Obviously, these patrolmen don't know anything. Never want to know. It can even be imagined that they are already scolding their mothers in their hearts, and after attacking the city gate, let alone escorting the king of Jin'an County, they are afraid that the first one will come to cut a knife to make meritorious service to atone for their sins and wash away this flying disaster.

Zhou Ji didn't speak, and suddenly took out something from under the armor.

The faces of those present were stunned.

A whooshing sound.

A firework blooms in the night sky.

"Fireworks!" Someone at the gate shouted, dumbfounded, "What's going on today?" ”

August 15 is still the first month to watch the lanterns and enjoy the fireworks, it's endless!

……………………………………………

And at the same time. Someone in the garrison forbidden military camp outside the capital also let out an exclamation.

"It's all waiting!" One shouted, pointing to the sky, "Another one! ”

Under the front porch of a barracks stood a man, dressed in a black cloak, looking up.

Seven or eight people standing around him also looked over.

"Is this the one we're waiting for?"

"This is the third, how many people in this capital are watching fireworks tonight?"

"Why did you come up with this idea?"

"It's not because of the high fireworks, it's really a good thing to deliver the news."

Everyone was talking, and the topic was getting farther and farther.

"Shut up!" The man in the black cloak said angrily.

The conversation stopped, the fireworks in the sky dispersed, and the night sky returned to calm. The East is faintly whitish.

The man snorted, but stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became a little dreary.

"Your Excellency. Yes, this one? Someone asked with a moment's hesitation.

Lord Du Yuhou nodded with a somber expression.

This is agreed, other people's people can't recognize it, he has seen it once in advance, and people like him who have been scouts have practiced it and will never forget it.

Seeing him nod, the people in the courtyard solemnized.

"My lord, is there really something wrong in the capital?" A man asked in a deep voice.

Is there really an accident in the capital?

Du Yuhou couldn't help but look up at the sky again, and the scene before Zhong Chengbu left appeared in front of him.

“… You say something will happen in the capital? ”

Zhou Zhen refused to go back to the northwest with General Zhong, saying that the reason was that he wanted to protect his sister, because it was really dangerous for the capital to have an accident and turmoil.

What kind of person is General Zhong, although he is young, but he was poured out with the blood of a family, such a person is brave and sensitive, unlike his first thought at that time was to laugh at Zhou Ji's children's affection, but to point out the affairs of the capital.

"Stupid masters, weak women, strong ministers, and relatives, there are really few people in history who are not chaotic." Zhou Zhen said, "Everyone understands in their hearts, but it has nothing to do with their own interests, I'm different, the general also knows that my sister is married to the king of Jin'an County, if something really happens, others can still be stable, they are the clan in the capital, they will inevitably be pushed into the limelight, I must watch her, to ensure that she is safe before leaving the capital to follow the adult." ”

"It's still the first thing about children." General Zhong laughed, "What a good man, first love his children and then make contributions." ”

Zhou Zhen's expression was still the same, neither ashamed nor annoyed.

"My lord, do you know what it means to be sorry for someone?" He said suddenly.

What do you mean by being sorry for someone?

"Sorry people are when you do something, as long as you think about it, you will regret it, and you will hate yourself." Zhou Zhen said, "I've done this kind of thing once, and I've tasted that taste, so I don't want to have a second time." ”

In the end, it's still a child's love.,Isn't it just that my favorite cousin has become another wife.。

Du Yuhou laughed, but General Zhong on the side stopped laughing.

"That sister of yours is Cheng Niangzi, who married the king of Jin'an County as a concubine?" He asked.

Zhou Zhen nodded.

"Is that the Cheng lady who writes for the world to observe and learn?"

Zhou Zhen nodded.

"Is that the Cheng lady who made Maoyuan Mountain wine and made the Maoyuan Mountain brothers famous?"

Zhou Zhen nodded.

"Is that Cheng Niangzi who can guide Li Mao to make stone bullets with a firework?"

Zhou Zhen nodded.

"Is it the Cheng lady who sacrificed Fan Jianglin's sister with the divine arm bow?"

Zhou Zhen nodded.

"Is that the sister of Xu Sigen, who made the horseshoe, Cheng Niangzi?"

Zhou Zhen nodded.

Du Yuhou looked at General Zhong in surprise and stunned.

It turns out that General Zhong is also very familiar with Zhou Zhen's cousin.

What else to ask?

General Zhong didn't ask, but laughed.

"Okay." He said, "Then you will stay in the capital." ”

So I agreed. Not only promised. He also got a talisman to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the city defense. And he deliberately left himself.

"If you need it, Pang Qing, you have to help." General Zhong said with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

General Zhong's hand was very strong, and he grinned when he patted him.

Du Yuhou's shoulders tilted again, baring his teeth.

Now it's time for General Zhong to say if necessary.

Something happened in the capital.

Otherwise, fireworks would not be lit up three times in one night.

Du Yuhou nodded.

The people in the courtyard were silent again.

They are all old men with soldiers, and they have been doing the defense of the capital for so many years, so they naturally know what it means to have an accident in the so-called capital.

"So, my lord, shall we do it or not?" Someone eventually asked this sentence anyway. The silence was broken.

To do it or not to do it.

Everyone has a family and a business, this kind of success and defeat is really not a joke, if something really happens, it is not only yourself who suffers, but the whole house.

To do or not to do?

Du Yuhou was slapped by General Zhong and almost fell down.

"Your Excellency." He grinned and didn't forget to ask a question, "A certain is an old man who has risen all the way in the Zhong family's army, general, you said that you will do so-and-so, and never hesitate, it's just that the general asked so-and-so to help others do things." I still want a reason. ”

The reason is that when did General Zhong become the king of Jin'an?

Could it be that this King of Jin'an County is really not small?

Then the remarks of those Shilin officials in the capital who impeached him are not groundless?

Such a clan, the emperor is still there. The prince also has such a wolf ambition, it is really ......

"King of Jin'an?" General Zhong laughed, "I know that there are indeed his people in the army, but that's his business, and it has nothing to do with me, and I, Zhong Chengbu, am not anyone's person, I'm just a person from Da Zhou." ”

"The people of the Great Zhou must protect the people of the Great Zhou."

General Zhong smiled, his hands on his hips with a bit of arrogance.

"Our Zhong family has been generals for generations, born on the battlefield and died on the battlefield, we have only one goal, to protect the family and defend the country."

"Defending the country is easier said than done, and those of us who are really defending the country know best."

"Lao Pang, a horseshoe is equivalent to how many more military horses are equipped for our scout cavalry, you know it in your heart, right?"

"A divine arm bow can make a soldier use one as ten, which is equivalent to how many troops have been added to our army, do you know it in your heart?"

"A stone bullet, although it took so long to get ten catapults to be transported to the northwest together, the specific effect has not been verified, but as far as we saw the trial scene in the military prison, what kind of terrifying results this catapult will show, do you know in your heart?"

"Lao Pang, in order to protect the family and defend the country, this person must not be lost, this person must be kept."

In order to protect the family and defend the country.

Yes, in order to protect the family and defend the country, there is nothing that cannot be done in this matter.

Du Yuhou took a deep breath and looked at the generals in front of him.

"Something happened in the capital." He spoke, his voice deep, "Naturally, I'm going." ”

That's what to do.

Those present understood in their hearts, but some still had a trace of hesitation in their hearts.

If you stand on the wrong team, you will end up miserable.

"Who are we?" Du Yuhou said again, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

Those present were stunned.

"The garrison." Someone replied.

"What does the garrison do?" Du Yuhou said, "It's the garrison, now that there is something in the capital, we naturally have to go to check, we are loyal to our duties and do our duty." ”

Yes, they are loyal to their duty and do their duty, not to participate in anyone's or who's business, can it be fault and guilt to be loyal to their duty and fulfill their duty?

"Yes." The people present suddenly responded in unison.

……………………………………………………………

"Wolf ambition!"

Qin Arc retracted his gaze and said with a sneer again.

"The former is called the help of the city gate, and this one is called outside the city."

"Childe, that bastard ran away." Kiss shouted.

Qin Arc suddenly stood up and turned to look at the city gate.

The wooden frame had already been erected, but I saw that the talented prison officer, who had been tied to the side, did not know how to break free. While the guards on this side of the gate were busy meeting the men and horses of the city gate that were getting closer and closer, they rushed to the city gate.

"Die."

Qin Arc shouted. The bow and arrow in his hand buzzed. A long arrow flew over.

"Open!" The doorkeeper let out a roar, and the man fell softly with one hand on the deadbolt.

At that moment the gates shook violently.

With a bang, it seemed that a heavy object had hit, and the deadbolt that had only slipped open a little bit was suddenly shaken and slid open even more.

"Not good!" Qin Arc shouted, "They have been prepared for a long time, and the city gate has not been closed. ”

In fact, the defense of the gates of the capital has never been as good as that of other places, and there is no strict inspection of entering and leaving the city, and even when the gates are closed, they are sometimes just a formality. In the end, it is a prosperous and lively hinterland, and at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are 200,000 forbidden troops outside, and nearly 10,000 soldiers on the city defense patrol inside.

Qin Arc thought of the speed and lightness of opening the door when he passed by, it was a door specially left for him by his own people, and other people's people naturally could.

"Childe, someone has stormed the city gate." He shouted again, pointing to a group of people who had rushed to the street, "There are quite a few people coming. ”

At the same time, the faint sound of gongs and drums resounded in the street.

"Quite a few people came?" Qin Arc smiled. "There are also a lot of people under Fu Yin, let's see who is afraid of whom."

He spoke. Ignoring this side, he rushed to the city gate with people.

That's when the door slammed open.

As Mr. Gu expected, when the city gate crashed open, Zhou Ji raised his foot and rushed over, and several city patrol soldiers who were originally attached to the wall grabbed their horses and turned around and ran away.

It's better to run away than to get into trouble with them in the back.

With the sound of whizzing arrows, two of the retinues who had pushed the gate open fell to the ground.

Of the eight people who came, there are only six left, plus one Zhou Ji, seven people, standing at the gate of the city, facing the bows and crossbows of a row of more than a dozen people opposite, undoubtedly sending them to death.

"Your Highness, stand back." Gonggong Jing said in a low voice, while protecting the king of Jin'an County.

Someone stepped forward, standing between the gap between the two attendants, as if a boulder was blocking the view from inside and outside.

The boulder stood firm, drew his bow and arrow, and aimed it at the person in front of him.

"Zhou Zhen." Qin Arc said, "Stand back." ”

Zhou Zhen looked at him.

"Qin Arc." He also said, "Stand back." ”

No one retreated, and the bows and arrows in their hands each shone with a cold light.

The sound of people and horses behind him was closer, and there was even the sound of archery.

"Childe, I can't wait." The relatives on the side couldn't help but shout, and turned their heads to look at the city.

If they are not forced to retreat and close the gates, these men and horses who come from the gates will surely cause chaos at the gates, and then these people will have the opportunity to rush in.

"Zhou Zhen!" Qin Arc raised his voice, "Stand back!" ”

He shouted.

"Qin Arc!" Zhou Zhen also raised his voice, "Stand back!" ”

He shouted.

The breath seemed to freeze for a moment, but almost at the same time, the sound of bows and arrows rang out at the same time, and two cold lights flashed.

"Isn't my two-legged one as good as yours?"

The young man who bumped into someone on the street and refused to admit his mistake shouted with a red face.

"Compare to compare! Whoever loses is the grandson! ”

He Qin Xiaolame has been famous in the capital since he was a child, so he doesn't believe that anyone will really not recognize him, but this kid in front of him is so strong that he refuses to kowtow and admit his mistakes, which is really interesting.

"Okay, it's better than that, but you deliberately lost to me just to get close to me."

He stood firmly on crutches, watching the young man on the side pull up his bow and arrow with an unconvinced expression.

There was a sound of breaking the air in his ears, and the bright cold air brushed his ears, penetrating his hood, and his body couldn't help but lean back under the heavy power belt.

Stand!

He is no longer the Qin Shisanlang who was on crutches at the beginning, he can stand firmly.

Qin Arc staggered to stabilize his body, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the person opposite falling on his back.

Fell......

The boulder-like body fell, and with a pop, the ground seemed to tremble.

Poured......

Poured!!

******************************

What's that, does anyone still remember? Hehe......

In addition, it is still a change, covering his face and running away. (To be continued......)
