Chapter 36: The Storm Rises Again (1)
Xin Che immediately protected Yin Suwen and the monks behind him, and looked around vigilantly a few times, but did not see any suspicious people, only to see a team of sergeants coming from not far away.
"No one is allowed to move! Quickly line up and leave from the exit in an orderly manner, and you are not allowed to leave the venue without permission, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”
A group of sergeants quickly marched in front of everyone, the first of whom was a commander-in-chief, who repeated the shouting and demands at the chaotic crowd, while the dozen or so sergeants behind them dispersed on their own tracks. The separated sergeants looked well-trained, some guarded the main entrance and exit of the square, and some began to weave through the crowd to search, all of them with their weapons unsheathed, and their expressions were nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.
The law and order in Uehara Prefecture has always been very good, and although it is not closed at night, there has never been a march on the streets during the day. Most of the people around were frightened, and some of them ignored the commander's request, and only wanted to run out of the square, but they were immediately stopped by the sergeant for interrogation after taking a few steps, and some of them directly drew their knives and became angry when they pushed and shoved.
A few little monks saw that the arrogant sergeant was hurting people with weapons, and rushed out to help, but it was only in vain, and the circle was even singled out by the commander as a target for trouble. Seeing that the commander's scabbard was about to smash over, Yuan was angry and frightened, but he could only close his eyes and bear it.
Fortunately, Xin Che was beside him, and a Buddha bead was sacrificed, and the volley directly hit the opponent's wrist. The steel knife landed and did not hit the little monk, but it angered another soldier who was traveling with him, and the angry two came straight to the heart.
"Where did the stinky monk come from, who dared to stop this military master from arresting the thief?"
"Amitabha, Yunju Temple's heart is clear, and he opened an altar here to preach at the emperor's behest."
"Hmph, by the emperor's order? Don't talk about it here, Lao Tzu is not scared. I just saw that you still have a little kung fu, I haven't heard of a monk who knows martial arts, I don't think you are a monk who can preach the scriptures, but like a fellow thief! Come on, grab it! ”
"The poor monk and a group of disciples were ordered by the emperor to go down the mountain to preach the scriptures today, whether it is in the official office or in the temple there is a roster to check, if the commander does not believe it, he can go to check, the poor monk should cooperate. However, if you deliberately have the intention of picking quarrels and provoking troubles to disrupt the lecture conference, then the poor monks can only offend. ”
Xin Che didn't plan to entangle with these people more, but he didn't want the other party to give up, and he was going to do it in the name of a thief, so he had no choice but to prepare to fight.
Yin Suwen has been protected by Xin Che behind him without speaking, and at this moment, the sergeant who came to stir up trouble observed it, but saw some doorways, and then his eyes signaled to stop Xin Che's further moves, and approached the sergeant unhurriedly.
"I advise this commander not to cause trouble here. Today, hundreds of people in the square came to listen to Master Xinche's lecture, and everyone didn't see the anti-thief, but they only saw everyone shouting here with great power, and you military masters should not end up with the crime of causing trouble and disturbing the people. ”
"Who are you, kid, who dare to come here?"
Yin Su, the eldest lady of the Yin family, asked. Now, Miss Ben doesn't talk to you, you ask Zhang Shaoqing to come by yourself. ”
At first glance, the sergeant did not recognize Yin Suwen who was dressed in men's clothes, but Yin Suwen first recognized the other party as a sergeant of the Zhang family from the clothing, so he directly raised Zhang Shaoqing's name.
Several sergeants who heard the words were dumbfounded for a while, on the one hand, they couldn't be sure whether the woman in front of them who was cross-dressing was really the eldest lady of the Yin family, and on the other hand, they were worried that if what she said was true, they had offended the future young master's wife today, and with Zhang Shaoqing's temper, they were afraid that they would really be unlucky, so they were stuck for a while, and they were not angry.
Hearing that these fierce soldiers were Zhang Shaoqing's subordinates, and seeing that Yin Su had resolved a crisis in a few words, his heart was finally relieved. But before he could turn around and appease everyone, a fierce murderous aura came straight towards them.
"Be careful!"
A masked burly man suddenly burst out of the crowd behind the left, took a few steps into the air, and stabbed Yin Suwen in the back with a short sword with a strange shape in his hand. When Yin Suwen was still arguing with the commander of the army, Xin Che could see clearly behind her, and while reminding her, she was even quicker, and a Buddha bead was sacrificed first, and then she flew directly and took a few steps forward to grab the comer.
However, before his hand could touch the other party's body, he saw that the assassin seemed to be being dragged backwards by an irresistible force, and then he was thrown directly out of the crowd with a sudden thud, and there was no breath of survival after two violent impacts and screams.
From the sudden appearance of the person to the assassin's attack, to the assassin's inexplicable death, all this happened in a breath, and the surrounding crowd suddenly became chaotic, no matter how those sergeants refused to listen to the command. Xin Che patted Yin Suwen on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, and walked over to the assassin to check it out.
After careful inspection, it was discovered that this person's shoulder was hooked and dragged out of the field by two silver hook claw hidden weapons. The two clawed eagles were not large but unusually sharp, and their ferocity instantly pierced through one of the assassin's pipa bones. The cruel appearance of the bones and bones turned out made Xin Che feel cold, what kind of person could be so ruthless under one blow.
A roar of hooves and whips approached, and the three tall horses stopped before rushing into the square. The chaotic crowd suddenly fell silent, and under the gaze of everyone, three men dismounted one after another and walked into the crowd. The man at the head was in a silver robe and brocade, and the two in the rear followed closely by the black-clothed powerhouse.
"Meet the young master!"
All the sergeants in the field immediately knelt down to greet the visitors, and even some of the people around them who didn't know why also knelt down with trembling, but the people were indifferent.
The silver-robed man ignored the kneeling bystanders, and only walked past them in the direction of Xin Che and Yin Suwen, and as he passed the fallen assassin, he seemingly inadvertently withdrew the eagle hook claw stuck on his shoulder into his sleeve with a single force.
He also ignored Xin Che, who was blocking in front of Yin Suwen, and only looked straight at Yin Suwen behind him.
"Why are you so naughty, just change into men's clothes and sneak out, look at how dangerous it is just now!"
"Shaoqing, I'm fine."
Yin Suwen's face was uncomfortable for a moment, and it was just a bluff for the commander to claim that Zhang Shaoqing would come for questioning, knowing that he had always been busy with official business, and he did not expect to meet in the square today. In addition, Zhang Shaoqing's soft reproach sounded really embarrassing in front of the public.
