Chapter 52: Killing the Spies
"Look!" said a silverarmoured guard, pointing to the sky, only to see a dragon vulture, hovering over a house in the dark sky, letting out an unpleasant wail.
Suddenly, the dragon vulture fell directly to the ground, and at the same time a white dot rose into the sky.
"Quick, that's a spy, he's going to run away, shoot him down," the leader of the Silver Guards turned around and yelled at the Silver Guards next to the crossbow on the castle tower.
At the same time, different places emitted 'Boom Boom The sound of several crossbow arrows breaking through the air, and the sonic boom of crossbow arrows mixed with the air were endless, but due to the miscalculation of the distance in the dark night, and the other party's preparedness, they failed to shoot.
And the spy flying horseman flew directly to the city gate, rushing out of the inner city in one go, once out of the inner city, it was almost difficult to catch it.
"Quick! release the arrows!" the leader of the Silver Armor Guard ordered, but unfortunately ordinary arrows can only shoot eighty meters, and only fifty meters into the sky, but the manned dragon crane can fly above a hundred meters, and ordinary arrows can't hit at all.
And those who practice the Five Elements Spell, who can injure the dragon crane at such a long distance, maybe only the innate master may.
But now there is no such thing here, the dragon crane has almost flown to the top of the city tower, and the face of the leader of the silver armor guard has changed greatly, if he lets the spy escape under his eyelids, then his life is over.
Seeing this, Lu Fan jumped to the city wall, his true qi ran all over his body, pouring it on his feet, and with a sound of 'bump', the bricks of the city wall under his feet were all shattered, and the people were like a thunderbolt, rushing into the air.
Lu Fan shot at the dragon crane like a crossbow arrow, Lu Fan threw a short spear in the air, the whole process was completed in one go, and after the body rose to the limit of fifty meters, the short spear shot out, mixed with the innate true qi in the dark night like a meteor shooting straight into the sky.
There was a mournful cry of birds in the sky, and Lu Fan slowly landed on the city wall
The whole process was only seven or eight breaths, and everyone was stunned, including the Silver Guards and their leader, asking themselves that no one could do as beautiful as they had just done.
Chun Yun Qiu Tan, who was standing at the corner of the city wall, looked at Lu Fan on the city wall with adoring eyes, as powerful as a god descending from the earth.
Looking at the crumbling dragon crane, a large number of feathers were dropped, and the dragon crane had fallen to a height of only fifty meters, but it still flew quickly towards the outer city.
"Hawkie, throw me a spear. Quick!" Lu Fan turned his head and shouted at Huo Qi under the city, this was the first time he had spoken in such a tone.
Huo Qi was taken by Lu Fan's momentum just now, and when he was drunk by this, he came to his senses and threw the long-handled spear in his hand directly to the city wall.
Lu Fan took the spear, the innate true qi poured into the whole body, the feet took root on the ground, twisted the waist, held the spear in his hand, the true qi gradually gathered in the feet, waist, and arms, aimed at the crumbling dragon crane, a long shout, after the long-handled spear was infused with Lu Fan's innate true qi, the light was radiant, like a divine soldier, whistling and stabbing at the dragon crane, dragging the dazzling tail in a breath, it ran through the body of the dragon crane and the person riding it.
'Ahh
The bloody spear that passed through the body suddenly burst into a dazzling white light, and the spear shattered inch by inch. The dragon crane fell outside the west gate along with the spies.
The silver-armored guard did not wait for the commander's orders, and went to the place where the dragon crane fell outside the city, at this moment, the officers and soldiers guarding the city no longer dared to underestimate their captain, including the silver-armored guard on the side.
A congenital goalkeeper captain, who believes that he will always be just a gatekeeper?
Lu Fan slowly walked down from the city tower, but no one looked down on this little captain of the city guard, walked to the silver armor guard who came back from outside the city under the city, carried the two corpses to the car, and collected the scattered pieces of paper and handed them to the leader of the silver armor guard.
When the leader saw that all the drawings he couldn't understand, his face changed, and he immediately put them away.
At this time, the Black Armor Army also arrived, and it was only half a cup of tea before and after, and the surrounding Black Armor Army came as fast as possible, originally wanting to assist the Silver Armor Guard in hunting down the spies, but when they arrived, they found that everything was over.
The leader of the Silver Armor Guard nodded to Lu Fan to express his gratitude, and then ordered the body of the spy to be stored, and left in a hurry.
It was late at night, and finally, the guard was lifted, the gates were closed, and the men who were on duty at the gates at night were already in place.
Lu Fan felt that there was nothing to do, so he took the maid and the housekeeper on the side to go back to the house, and the two maids followed him with lanterns to illuminate, even though the roadside was already lit up tonight.
On the way back, Lu Fan was asking himself, the moment he killed someone just now, it seemed that he didn't feel anything. There is no such thing as guilt, there is just what to do to make things more beautiful.
Is it that he is so cold-blooded, but in the eyes of others is fanatical, is it that all people are the same as themselves, this is this society.
The sage said that for the way of the general, the text is too martial, and it is cowardly. Wu is too literary, then fierce. If you have both civil and military skills, you will not be a general. But since ancient times, countless famous generals have no good end, the ancient famous generals Mausoleum, once invincible in the world, but in the end for the king to be afraid of killing.
Later generations, it is rumored that the famous general's mausoleum, before his death, once said: 'The world is the way of the generals, all for the king, not for the common people.' Those who dare to fight can lead a battalion of vanguards, those who are brave can make a thousand people horsemen, those who plan a battle will also be generals, those who seek a domain will be generals, and those who plan the overall situation will not be generals since ancient times, but by kings.
Since ancient times, the ruler of the famous generals is invincible; the famous generals do not seek the government and politics, and may be famous for a while, but after all, they end dismally, even if there are famous generals who can surrender without a fight, most of them fall into the imperial plan of their own empire.
Famous generals are ordered to be in danger, and after the success, the birds are all hidden, and even more famous ministers and heroes are determined to be the emperor's eternal cause.
"Emperor, the commander of the Silver Armor Guard asks to see you" A eunuch reported outside the door
"Announce him in," a majestic voice sounded in the hall
"The last general is the commander of the silver armor guard, Chu Xingming sees the emperor, the emperor Wan'an" the silver armor guard knelt down and bowed.
"Excuse me, get up and reply," said the emperor
Chu Xingming got up and saw that in the hall, there were many important ministers sitting in the court, and he was the only one with the lowest rank of the Praetorian Guard, but he didn't know whether he should return to Ximen and the drawings.
"Whether the commander of Chu is a spy or not has a result, let's talk about it quickly, all of you here are important ministers of the court, but it doesn't hurt to say it," Chongzuo said
Seeing that the emperor agreed, Chu Xingming was no longer worried, presented the box containing the drawings to the emperor, and said: "The spy, after dark, in a merchant house at the west gate of the inner city, he wanted to escape by a dragon crane, but he was discovered by the silver guards of the west city and killed him together with the guards guarding the gate. ”
The emperor handed over the drawings to the Ministry of Works, "Aiqing, see if it is a lost drawing", and the Ministry of Works was dismissed from the post of Ministry of Industry by the emperor because of the conspiracy.
Several Fengchang of the Ministry of Engineering carefully checked the authenticity of the drawings with the waiters.
"Emperor Yu, it's the lost blueprint," the Ministry of Works waiter got up and returned to Emperor Yu.
"For those who have made meritorious contributions this time, reward! Chu Xingming will step back first. Chongzuo said in a good mood
"Okay, although I didn't leak the secrets of the empire this time, I have to be more careful, and that place will be replaced by a more secret place in the future, so you can go about it" Chongzuo said solemnly
"The minister commanded" After speaking, he led a shift to the Ministry of Labor, and slowly withdrew.
"Emperor, although this spy incident is a bad thing, it can take this opportunity to eliminate the spies lurking in the empire, so as to avoid more unstable factors in the empire when the empire conflicts with its neighbors again," Wen Hou Gulana said
"What the monarch said is reasonable, and the minister thinks the same," Wuhou Lincang also echoed.
In the Hall of Stars, the monarchs and ministers discussed with the help of this matter to achieve the greatest interests and eradicate dissidents...
