Chapter 268 Jianghu affairs are handled by Jianghu people

Banners, lances, crossbows.

Nearly 100 bright and dark weapons smashed into the emperor sitting on the dragon chair as quickly as a rainstorm, and it was especially dense when he was about to arrive in front of the emperor. And the emperor, still sitting on the dragon chair, didn't seem to react at all. He didn't move like a mountain, and the eight guards in flying fish robes behind him moved, moving like a landslide!

The eight guards drew their swords almost at the same time, and the sword-like light suddenly lit up. It was as if eight lightning bolts exploded around the emperor's body, and the light of the knife was so bright that it could almost sting people's eyes. Eight lightning bolts swam around the emperor, like a flying dragon that suddenly appeared and coiled around the emperor.

After the clanging sound, all the weapons thrown at the Emperor were cut down. Large long lances and small short crossbows, without exception.

Eight guards protected the emperor, as if a strong wall had been built around the emperor. The emperor's face was calm and did not change at all. He looked at the assassins with a flat gaze, without a trace of emotion, no sadness, no joy, not even anger.

Su Buwei was still standing behind the emperor, he was obviously there, but people only seemed to see the eight guards, and he was as easy to be ignored as if he were a transparent person. No one saw it, he flicked his fingers behind the crowd, and quietly, a knife stabbed at the official of the Ministry of Rites who stabbed Huai Qiugong with a bloody hole in his forehead. The official of the Ministry of Rites swung backwards and fell to the podium with a thud.

The assassins who Pei Yan brought with him, pretending to be officials of the Ministry of Rites, fell into passivity after the initial raid killed several flying fish robes standing on the periphery, and the golden gourd warriors who seemed to be just for façade quickly pressed over, and they took out their flying claws with ropes from behind their backs, picked them up and threw them at the assassins. The muffled sound of popping continued, and soon the assassins were caught in the sharp iron claws and dragged back by the gourd warriors.

Before the fallen Assassin could stand up, he was stabbed to death with a dagger by the gourd warriors. The claws in their hands were long enough that the Assassins didn't even have a chance to fight back. Although there was no shortage of masters among the assassins, the cultivation of the Golden Gourd Warrior was clearly superior. Flying claws to grab people, daggers to kill, their movements look simple and effective.

The forbidden soldiers, who had jumped up and threw their lances at the emperor, were also surrounded by the other forbidden soldiers a moment later and were quickly chopped into pulp.

The assassination, which seemed to be abrupt and ruthless, was disintegrated in less than five minutes.

The frightened Shangshu Huai Qiugong of the Ministry of Rites looked back at the emperor, although he was forced to calm down, the fear in his eyes was still accidentally revealed. The emperor beckoned to him slowly, and Huai Qiugong walked quickly to the dragon chair.

Pei Yan, who was abolished in an instant, turned pale with fright, he really didn't expect that the people sent to him by Prince Yi would be so useless. thought that even if he couldn't kill the emperor, it would be enough to make the guards around Dianjiangtai chaotic, but who would have thought that his subordinates would be killed by those golden gourd warriors chopping melons and vegetables.

He screamed, turned around and ran.

The two gourd warriors flicked their claws and threw them with a whoosh. The two flying claws were precisely clasped on Pei Yan's shoulders, and as the Golden Melon Warrior pulled back, his body was dragged back like a kite. He had a little better luck than his men, as the two gourd warriors had no intention of killing him immediately. However, his torture was clearly even stronger. So much so that Pei Yan even regretted why he hadn't been killed just now.

The two gourd warriors immediately stepped forward after dragging Pei Yan back, and the dagger in their hands cut Pei Yan's tendons and tendons with a few strokes, and then a golden gourd warrior grabbed Pei Yan's jaw and twisted it up and down and took it off, and then grabbed the placket of his clothes and lifted him up, and threw it back to the flying fish robe of the Ouchi guard standing on the periphery.

Five minutes before and after, the assassination was cracked.

The emperor glanced at Huai Qiugong and said in a calm tone: "Stand by my side and see how I kill the rebellious ministers." ”

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, a loud horn sounded in the square opposite. Immediately after, a majestic shout came from the other side of the square.

"Someone assassinated His Majesty, Zuo Wuwei was ordered to kill the rebellious party!"

Woo!

The trumpets sounded in the sky, and the heralds' banners waved suddenly.

The soldiers of the Left Guards standing in the square suddenly changed their formation, and the infantry of the two phalanxes facing the Dianjiangtai strode forward, still maintaining a strict formation during the run, and there was no confusion at all. As soon as they had narrowed the distance between them and the point of the general to about 100 paces, they immediately stopped, and the soldiers immediately raised their infantry bows under the command of a general. They skillfully drew their arrows from their quivers and placed them on the bowstrings.

"Kill the thief!"

Yu Manlou, the general of Zuo Wuwei, who was sitting on horseback, drew his waist knife and pointed forward, and with his order, two thousand infantry sent out the feather arrows at the same time. For a moment, the sky was dark. Because it is an aiming point, the density of feather arrows is staggering. There were even a lot of feathered arrows that collided and fell in mid-air before they could fly to the places where they should go.

Dense feathered arrows covered like hailstones.

At this moment, the people gathered around the square let out a burst of exclamations. And those who had not had time to withdraw from the singing and dancing line wailed in fright one by one, and the girls squatted on the ground holding their heads and screaming, but they were so frightened that their legs were so weak that they couldn't even run.

The feather arrows poured like a torrent of water, and they poured towards the Dianjiangtai. Judging from the density of feather arrows, the people on the stage are afraid that none of them will want to leave! And no matter how strong the cultivation of those guards around the emperor is, they will look weak in front of a war machine like Zuo Wuwei.

The real killer move has never been a good cultivator.

Prince Yi Yang Yin knows better than anyone else that if he wants to rebel and seize the throne, relying on those people in the rivers and lakes, relying on a few great cultivators, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, the reason why he is confident that he can snatch the dragon chair is because he controls the Zuo Wuwei in the six armies of the Son of Heaven! A few days ago, some courtiers worked hard to make suggestions to the emperor and recommended Prince Yi to go to the northwest to preside over military affairs. The other part of the people immediately refuted them, and these people firmly opposed it on the grounds that Prince Yi would not lead troops. At the same time, Yu Manlou, the general of Zuo Wuwei, was recommended to take command of the expedition, but in fact, these two groups of people were arranged by Prince Yi.

He didn't want to go to the northwest to lead the troops at all, but to let Yu Manlou lead the troops!

Only by letting Zuo Wuwei go on the expedition can he seize this opportunity.

All this has long been in his calculations.

Prince Yi's Mansion

Huge building on top of the ship

Prince Yi Yang Yin, who was holding clairvoyance and looking at the square, picked the corners of his mouth, outlining a smile. He looked intently at the side of the square and muttered, "Fourth brother, do you still like the gift I gave you?" ”

……

……

Martial Arts Academy

Dean Zhou looked at Xiao Zhenren, who had an indifferent expression in front of him, and was silent for a while and said, "If I guessed correctly, Prince Yi wants to seize power by relying on the army?" You great cultivators that he bought are actually of little use. First, it is just to draw His Majesty's attention away from the army. Second, it is nothing more than to stop those of us who are on His Majesty's side, because Prince Yi is afraid of death......"

Xiao Zhenren smiled and said: "Zhou Gong guessed right, since ancient times, where have there been examples of successful rebellions by relying on dozens or hundreds of Jianghu guests?" Prince Yi has been planning for ten years for today, so naturally he will not pin his hopes on us people in the rivers and lakes. Especially the last sentence is the most incisive, because Prince Yi is afraid of death, so I came to the Yanwu Academy. ”

"Duke Zhou is the number one master in the world known to the people of the Great Sui, if you don't stop you, you only kill Prince Yi's mansion and capture Prince Yi, then all the arrangements of Prince Yi will be in vain. So you say that we people in the rivers and lakes are not very useful, but you are not entirely right. ”

He smiled and said: "Fortunately, Prince Yi knows that there is a road leading directly to Taiji Palace in the mountain behind the Yanwu Academy, and there are eight hundred elites in the palace, even if Prince Yi controls the army, he can't get in." Therefore, the emperor can only come out, and the courtiers offer to hold a military ceremony, which is also Prince Yi's strategy. ”

"And Qingfeng Guan is also on the mountain, Prince Yi knows that road, and I naturally know it, so I walked smoothly from Qingfeng Guan to Yanwu Academy."

Dean Zhou nodded: "Naturally, you don't dare to come alone, so your disciples who are known as the red-robed great priests of the Dao Sect must have also come." Your disciples and grandchildren are also here, because you want to stop the professors of the Martial Arts Academy and do a good job for your master. But your disobedient little fat brother didn't come, do you think you are afraid that he will do something bad and lock him up, or kill him? ”

Xiao Zhenren's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he was silent for a while and asked, "Did you just understand, or did you already know?" ”

Dean Zhou smiled: "Guess? ”

"Where's the flaw?"

Xiao Zhenren couldn't help but ask.

Dean Zhou smiled and said: "It's on your little junior brother, he is a person who can't sit still, Fang explained that he hasn't seen Xiang Qingniu for a few months, this seems to be a very small thing, but it makes people have to think more." Xiang Qingniu would definitely not agree to follow you to rebel, so you imprisoned him or killed him in advance. If it weren't for the fact that Xiang Qingniu and Fang Xie were friends, I would naturally not pay attention to this. Therefore, there is a destiny in the underworld, where is there any secret that can be hidden? ”

Xiao Zhenren was no longer indifferent, and his face became more and more solemn: "Are you staying here on purpose waiting for me?" ”

Dean Zhou nodded.

Xiao Zhenren looked around and said, "The professors of the Martial Arts Academy are not there?" ”

Dean Zhou shook his head slightly: "There are still one or two left to support the façade." ”

Xiao Zhenren got up and took a few steps back: "Prince Yi asked me on the day he climbed the mountain to visit Qingfeng Temple, do you know how high Dean Zhou's cultivation is." I don't know, but I know I'm not short...... Zhou Gong, do you think you can stop us with your own strength? ”

"I know you're tall."

Dean Zhou slowly stood up, looked at Xiao Zhenren with his hands and said, "Since you became the leader of the Dao Sect, you have been waiting for this day since you came. So from the very beginning, you saw me as your opponent. For so many years, you have been in retreat, just to let your cultivation improve and have the strength to fight with me. ”

"There's no denying that you're really standing on a high ground."

Dean Zhou smiled, "But you never know what you're doing wrong, because you never know about the Martial Arts Academy." And you think you know Your Majesty, but you don't know anything about it either. It's like you think you know the master who instructs you in your practice, but you still don't know anything about it. ”

"You ......"

Xiao Zhenren's face changed greatly: "What do you mean!" ”

Dean Zhou pointed behind Xiao Zhenren and smiled, "Your opponent is here, Your Majesty chose it for you." ”

Xiao Zhenren floated back more than ten meters away and looked back.

Wudang Mountain ** is upright, supporting the old Taoist who doesn't even seem to be able to walk slowly to this side. And the red-robed great priest Crane Daoren, as well as the Qingle Mountain Great Priest Fengming Daoist who quietly came to Chang'an City, looked at the Wudang Mountain people with a solemn expression.

Zhou Yuan said in a flat tone: "Your Majesty said that since the Dao Sect is a scum, it is better to let the Dao Sect solve it by its own people." The things in the rivers and lakes are done by the people in the rivers and lakes. Your Majesty can hold up your Qingle Mountain, and naturally you can also hold up a Wudang Mountain! The leader of the Taoist Sect can be you Xiao Yijiu, and naturally it can also be Zhang Fengshan. ”
