Chapter 1078: Tokyo Change (1)
September 15 of the tenth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, it is advisable to open and start construction; Taboo, groundbreaking, travel, Tokyo Bianliang.
As soon as the sky was shining, there were more pedestrians on the streets of the inner and outer cities. Because today is the day of the two major court meetings every month, and the officials in Beijing will all go to the palace, no, it has just passed the fourth watch, and the streets are already full of torches and lanterns, and almost all the main streets are illuminated as bright as day.
After the sky brightened up a little more, the flow of people on the long street heading straight to the palace was even denser, and the carriages, horses and pedestrians could almost block the wide and more than ten zhang wide Royal Street Avenue, which had to be managed and dredged by the people of the street division in order to allow the brigade to pass smoothly.
However, as a group of extremely eye-catching men and horses slowly approached along the open streets of the inner city, the crowd subconsciously retreated to both sides, not daring to block its approach. Because at the front of this team is playing the two signs of Taiwei Mansion and Yue Guogong, it is now the big man in Tokyo who covers the sky with one hand, Sun Tu, and Sun Taiwei are here. It's just that today's team is more eye-catching than in the past, because in addition to Sun Tu, there are dozens of Western Xia envoys who are dressed completely different from the Song people, including several feudal monks.
Because it was a friend of Xi Fengchang who proposed to go to the court meeting with him, Sun Tu did not refuse, and he deliberately got up early in the morning today, took people to the post house to receive the other party's party, and then went to the palace, and because of this, even the accompanying team was much larger than before, surrounded by five hundred personal soldiers, and compared the other teams at once.
Sun Tu walked almost side by side with Xifeng Chang and Jiesang Wax Ling, walked forward slowly, and after a while, he asked with a smile: "Brother Xifeng, how have you thought about it, are you willing to accept the three conditions I put forward before?" If your country can do these three things, I can guarantee that it will be able to recover the westward march in the shortest possible time, and at the same time reopen the field between the two countries this year. ”
"This ......" Xi Feng Chang shook his head with a wry smile: "Captain Sun, your request is too harsh, at least I can't agree to it." So I decided to meet with the Emperor of your country to see if he could lower his demands in the face of the creatures of the two countries. ”
"I'm afraid this is a little difficult, I mean what Your Majesty means."
Hearing Sun Tu say such a wordless words, the thin seal Chang's eyebrows were even tighter. And at this time, Yusang Wax, who hadn't said anything all the way, suddenly said: "Taiwei Sun, the little monk has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
"The guru doesn't have to be polite, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."
"I watched Taiwei the day before yesterday that you have an extremely strong murderous aura, and see you today, this evil aura has already rushed from your heart to the sky, this is really not a good thing, I hope you can uphold good thoughts, don't create murder again." Yusang Wax showed a compassionate look and said solemnly.
Sun Tu was slightly stunned when he said this, and after taking a few more careful glances at the monk, he reluctantly smiled and said, "Is the master wrong, I have rarely had grudges with people in the past two years, let alone make any killings." As long as everything remains the same, it is impossible for anyone to die in vain. ”
"Is that so? Then I hope the captain will do what he says. After Yusang pronounced a Buddha horn, he didn't say much, and only concentrated on riding forward, but the sad color between his eyebrows became more and more intense at this moment.
As he spoke, the team had already arrived at the majestic Suzaku Gate in front of the Imperial City. After entering this gate, the street will be narrower than other places, but at the same time, the shops along the street will disappear completely, only the official houses and yamen stand there, which looks particularly solemn and solemn.
It was precisely because they were about to enter the core of the entire empire that the faces of the officials of both the Western Xia envoys and the Great Song Dynasty became a lot more solemn, and the procession that was still a little gossip suddenly stopped at this moment, and the officials who were ahead of Sun Tu and them took two steps and quickly passed through this wide city gate that could accommodate three carts and five horses side by side, and the people in the front team had also entered it.
A bleak autumn wind suddenly blew from the north, rolled up a few fallen dead leaves on the side of the street, and flew towards Sun Tu and them. Everything seems to be the same as when you entered the imperial city before, but if you feel it carefully, it gives people a different illusion.
At this moment, Sun Tu's eyes narrowed suddenly, his breathing suddenly stopped, but his body fell slightly, and his hand was on the handle of the knife on his waist. All the guards around it made the same move almost at the same time - they felt a powerful murderous aura coming towards them at the same time.
This is a mysterious feeling, there is no reason, there is no basis, it depends on the experience and judgment of years of fighting, killing from the sea of corpses and blood, it is from the mind and body, they never deceive their masters.
It was at this moment, when Sun Tu rode his horse into the not very deep city gate hole, that a sharp horn suddenly sounded from the side front-
At the same time, on the head of the city five or six zhang high, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared, almost without any hesitation, these hundreds of people had jumped down violently in the shouts, and the people were in mid-air, and the cold light flashed out in their hands, like meteors, like sharp arrows, killing the heads of those guards who had just come out of the hole in the city gate.
At the same time, a violent roar had already shouted out from their mouths: "Kill Sun Tu, get rid of the national thief!" ”
This was indeed a big surprise to everyone, especially those officials who had drilled through the city gate before Sun Tu and them, and when they heard the sound of such culling, and turned their heads to see these guys flying down like harrier eagles, they could hardly believe their eyes - how could this be?
yes, how is that possible? When the manpower is poor, it is a high wall of five or six feet, even if the skill is good, it is impossible to fall from such a high place and enter the battle again, and it is already good luck not to fall to death.
But soon, they saw clearly what was going on, these seemingly reckless flying assassins were not actually jumping naked, but all of them had ropes tied around their waists, and the moment they landed on top of everyone's heads, the rope tightened, and the momentum of their fall suddenly stopped, and they took the opportunity to use the power of the fall on the steel knife they swung, slashing at the target below with a thousand powers.
Although those guards reacted quickly enough to raise their swords almost at the same time, they underestimated the momentum of the other party, and actually cut off the weapons in their hands in one shot, screaming and falling off their horses. However, those attackers who fell unbuckled their waists at this time, let their bodies fall steadily to the ground, and instantly formed a murderous team, as if they could kill the target who rushed out of the city gate hole at any time.
But then, the current battle situation changed again, and the assassination that was inevitable was in vain, because the imaginary situation of Sun Tu leading others out of the city gate did not appear, and the two sides were actually facing each other through the door at this moment.
Yes, just as these attackers came down from above, Sun Tu had stopped even though he was inside the city gate. What made the Xixia people on the left and right even more amazed was that at this moment, the entire team still maintained absolute calmness and neatness, and no one moved, stubbornly guarding the narrow city gate hole, putting on a defensive posture.
After being stunned for a moment, the fine seal Chang quickly understood, and it was obvious that all this should be in Sun Tu's expectations. It's just that this makes him even more puzzled, since the other party already knows that there will be such a change, why not deal with it early, and have to take this risk?
Also, why is it here, why is it today? Is there any necessary connection between all this and yourself? What will be the result of this accident?
Just when his mind was spinning, the variables regenerated, only to hear a loud bang in the rear, and the entrance was blocked by a jack gate, which means that the back road of Sun Tu and his party has been cut off, and now there is only one enemy in front of him with hundreds of swords, and the unpredictable royal street leading directly to the palace can be walked.
"Sun Tu, if you don't get off the horse and die, when will you wait!" With a roar, a row of officials in scarlet robes had already rushed over the long street hundreds of steps away, and the first one was Prime Minister Li Gang. At this time, his hair fluttered, his face was red, like an angry old lion, and he yelled at the front: "If you don't want to die in vain, quickly drop your weapon, and the old man can save your life." If you dare to resist stubbornly, you will be killed! ”
The roar of the bell rolled in, and the power was really not small, that is, those Western Xia people had already changed color for it, and the fine seal was even more shocked: "How can this be? Grandchild...... Captain Sun, how is this good? ”
"Brother Xifeng is scared?" The corners of Sun Tu's mouth curled, and he glanced at him and asked.
"I just can't understand why you and I have to change like this every time we meet."
"Maybe this is the fate set by God." Sun Tu's eyes narrowed, he looked at the hundreds of soldiers and horses in front of him who had made a defensive posture, and then shouted loudly: "Brothers, there are traitors who have colluded with a party to destroy everything we have worked hard to build for many years, you say, what should we do?" ”
"Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them all! "Everyone roared almost at the same time, so loudly that the gate of the city was buzzing, and even sand and stones began to fall. And Chongxiao's murderous aura also rose, almost tearing the gate hole of this Suzaku Gate to pieces.
"Okay, then let them see the determination and murderous intent of our hundred battle elites!" Sun Tu said, he had a horizontal knife in his chest, and kicked the horse's belly, but he was the first to rush to the enemy in front of him, and he had rushed out of the city gate in the blink of an eye.
"Kill!" The guards shouted and pounced, and galloped towards the hundreds of sword-wielding assassins outside the door.
Seeing Sun Tu leading the army out, the hundreds of assassins outside the gate immediately retreated, so that the cavalry of hundreds of people could smoothly rush out of the city gate and kill Li Gang and other important people at full speed.
