Chapter 273: Take the initiative

"All the soldiers listened to the order, lined up in a hedgehog formation, and did their best to protect the adults." Ji Chang shouted loudly.

The so-called hedgehog formation is still an invention of the incident, that is, the circular formation, where everyone is lined up in a circle, and everyone is external and fights together.

Of course, this kind of defense is not as effective as the long-term snake formation and the two-winged mandarin duck formation, but in a narrow area like the street, it can be regarded as the best choice.

In the * era, if the defender does not have a well-dug established defensive position, they will choose this defensive means, and the biggest advantage is that all attacks can be blocked from the outside to form a local security zone.

"Eventful." Besides, he whispered a little dissatisfied.

He didn't want these people to put on any position, he just wanted to remind them to pay attention to safety, so that they could reduce casualties in the event of a sudden attack by the other party, not for their own safety.

At this time, Miao Tianxiang and another master rode horses and stayed close to the carriage, and they were all wearing the clothes of the Jinyi Guard, and people who didn't know would really think that they were the personnel of the Jinyi Guard.

"People are here to protect you, you don't appreciate it at all, the stone in the thatched house." Jiuniang grinds her teeth.

"In this kind of location, they can't fully exert their strength at all, and it's no fun to meet a master like you." Besides.

"Could it be that the Ancestor Protector Sect really wants to make a big fuss and turn the capital upside down?" Although Murong Yanran was the first to sense the person intercepted in front of her, she still couldn't believe it.

Although the ancestor protector faction has been fighting with the Qinwang faction for nearly a hundred years, the two factions are actually becoming more and more rational, and they no longer have to fight to the death when they meet like in the Yongle period.

After several generations of emperors, even the emperor was reluctant to pursue the affairs of Emperor Jianwen, and did not think that there was any threat to the imperial court at all.

The situation on the side of the Qinwang faction is much more complicated than that of the ancestor protector faction, and the factions that join after the middle period don't know what the Qinwang faction does, but there will be many benefits after joining.

The two factions gradually went from the life-and-death struggle at the beginning to the rational confrontation at the end, which generally remained below the middle level, and the high-level personnel rarely participated in the dispute, let alone the leaders behind the two factions.

It is also ridiculous to say that the leaders of the two factions not only know each other well, but also often meet, but they are all harmonious and respectful of each other, and there is no grudge at all.

That's why Murong Yanran felt strange, if Rosie was in their hands, it would be natural for the Ancestor Protector faction to intercept and kill them on the street, but now that Rosie is not in their hands, how could the people of the Ancestor Protector faction intercept it, don't you know that this is the capital, and you don't know that doing so will really cause a big fight between the two factions?

"I'm going out to meet them." Murong Yanran said, she felt that there was either a misunderstanding here or that the Ancestor Protector Sect did not give the order to withdraw troops in time.

"No, it's too dangerous, let's wait for them to take the initiative to attack, we might be able to catch a few alive." Besides, the hand is on the button of the rainstorm pear flower needle in the sleeve, and the needles inside are all quenched with anesthetic.

"Now the safety of the son is the most important, I'll talk to them about it, maybe there is a misunderstanding here." Murong Yanran didn't want to fight on the street, after all, there were too many variables, and it was very difficult to defend.

"Master, I'll go with you." Jiuniang was eager to try.

"You stay to protect Childe."

"Don't go, I said you don't intervene in this matter, I'm going to use my method to solve it, as long as they don't break through to me, you don't have to make a move." Besides.

Murong Yanran heard him say this, so she had no choice but to sit down again.

"Hmph, if you don't let us participate, don't you have to take us to protect you?" Jiu Niang was unhappy.

"I just don't want to take you with me, you just need to protect my personal safety, and you don't have to interfere in other things." Besides.

Murong Yanran and Jiu Niang stopped talking, their duty was indeed to protect the safety of the situation, and there was no other task. Now the Ancestor Protector faction wants to intercept and kill the people of the Jinyi Guard on the street, that is a matter between the Ancestor Protector faction and the Jinyi Guard, and they should not interfere, otherwise it will become a struggle between the Ancestor Protector faction and the Qinwang faction.

"Why don't you go down and talk to them, didn't you clean up Rosie well?" Jiu Niang's big eyes rolled and smiled.

"Well, I'll see it." Besides, I just stopped and wanted to get out of the car.

"No, absolutely not, don't listen to her, that's nonsense." Murong Yanran resolutely disagreed.

"Senior, don't worry, I really don't believe that anyone dares to take action against the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the capital, and the Ancestor Protector faction doesn't have the courage to do so." Besides, he pushed the car door and went down.

"My lord, why did you get out of the car, it's dangerous." Ji Chang was taken aback when he saw him come out.

"What's the danger, if so many people protect me and it's still dangerous, I won't go out in the future." And sneered.

He looked at the empty street in front of him, obviously someone had calmed the street in advance, and the doors and windows of the shops on both sides were half-open and half-hidden, not hiding the murderous intent inside.

"Come on, search the shops on both sides, and those who dare to resist will be killed." Moreover, he pointed to the shops on both sides of the street and said loudly.

"Your Excellency has an order, search the shops on both sides, and kill those who resist on the spot." Ji Chang rode on his horse and repeated the order aloud.

"Childe, this is not appropriate, this is a danger zone, we should pass quickly." Miao Tianxiang was also stunned.

"Fast pass? Run. This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, what danger zone is there? Isn't it just hiding some treacherous people, it's better to blast them out to bask in the sun, so as not to stay in a dark corner for a long time, and they will become moldy. Besides.

The guards heard the order, and they didn't know what to search in the shops on both sides, whether it was a suspicious person or something, anyway, the adults let the search be searched, and all the people inside were blasted out and checked one by one.

There were many shops on both sides of the street, but there were dozens of guards on each store, and after rushing in, they couldn't help but say something, and they blasted out the people inside to be inspected.

There was a thumping sound in several shops, and it was clear that the people inside refused to obey orders, leading to a confrontation of force.

Miao Tianxiang and Murong Yanran's master and apprentice were nervous, staring at the shops on both sides and the roofs of the houses, lest a killer suddenly emerge from there.

"What does this guy want to do, it's okay to find trouble." Jiu Niang is about to go crazy.

"He is not to be outdone, and the people of the Ancestor Protector Sect are too arrogant." Murong Yanran's face also changed, but she didn't expect that she would dare to take the initiative to provoke a war.

Besides, listening to the constant sounds of fighting, shouting, and screaming on both sides, he was also wondering, and turned to Miao Tianxiang and said: "Isn't this assassination supposed to hide its tracks, how can these bastards be afraid that we don't know?" ”

"They may have given up, but they are not willing to leave like this, and they want to give you a disadvantage." Murong Yanran said.

"Well, let's see who's going to give whom."

After a while, many people in the store were all driven out by the guards, and the shopkeeper, the guys, and some customers were honest, cowering, and standing in line against the wall, and no one dared to protest at this time, and heard a scream not far away, obviously these brocade guards really dared to be ruthless.

Not to mention that the show meets the soldiers, it is unreasonable to say, and the common people dare not be reasonable when they meet the soldiers. What's more, after these guards broke in, they all shouted first: "Jinyi Wei handles the case, and if he is not honest, he will be killed on the spot." ”

At first, there were still those who were not convinced, but after being smashed by the guards with the handle of their knives a few times, they became honest. Besides, the guards brought are all elite soldiers of the two provinces, and these guards are also experienced, and they can tell at a glance whether they are civilians or gang members, and the hundred real brocade guards led by Ji Chang are all protected around.

At this time, a man ran out of a shop, still wounded, but unfortunately he didn't run far before he was slashed by the guards who were chasing after him, and he pounced on the ground and couldn't move.

"I committed suicide by taking poison." Besides, I was shocked.

He could see that the martial arts cultivation of the person who ran out was not high, and he was still worried about it, thinking that the guards had caught the wrong person, but at this time, it was clear that this person was not mortally injured, and even the last knife was only cut on the leg, making him incapacitated, but after this person fell to the ground, he immediately convulsed, and after a few seconds, he did not move.

"Dead man, how do you look like a member of the White Lotus Sect." Miao Tianxiang was also surprised.

"White Lotus Sect? No, they have nothing to do, what are they doing? Besides, he frowned.

"Didn't you say that the White Lotus Sect has always wanted to assassinate you, this still makes you right, it looks like this person is really from the White Lotus Sect." Jiu Niang said at the door of the car.

She and her master never got out of the car, they were going to be used as ambush soldiers, and when an assassin really came to kill them, they sent a thunderous blow.

"Doesn't the Ancestor Protector also like this, letting the people who fail to commit suicide by poisoning?" Besides.

"This is different, only those masters of the Ancestor Protector Sect will dispense poison, this person is a little minion at first glance, the Ancestor Protector Sect will not use such people to participate in secret operations, let alone dispense poison to them." Murong Yanran explained.

She also clearly felt that something was wrong, not quite what she had expected. And she couldn't sense the direction of the other party's real master now, but the previous murderous aura was indeed released by the master.

She thought that the ancestor protector faction couldn't swallow this breath, so when she demonstrated on the street, if she took a detour or ran away quickly like a rat crossing the street, she would naturally let out a bad breath, but besides, she was the master who was not afraid of things, not only did not take a detour, but also refused to pass quickly, but took the initiative to attack.

She had been worried that those masters who were secretly ambushing rushed out and pierced through the guard layer to assassinate them, but suddenly all the aura of the masters she had sensed was missing.

Suddenly, she felt like she had fallen into a trap.
