Chapter 696: Riding Alone Stops a Thousand Armies
The sun had set, the sound of horses' hooves, and only twenty miles away from the Temple of Babel, a large army of elite cavalry was moving rapidly in the direction of the Temple of Babel.
This cavalry corps was no less than five or six thousand people, like wolves and tigers, with sharp swords and guns.
In front of the procession, a man in silver-gray armor rode a large black fluttering, hunting sounded, and he carried an iron spear, which was the famous "snake spear".
Three knives and four shots to break the sky.
Among the eight masters of the imperial court, Han Santong, the loyal general of the Zuotun Guard, ranked third, known as the Shura gun, and Chi Gongdu, the brave general of the Right Tun Guard, ranked fourth, known as the "snake gun".
Although he is at the bottom of the four-gun ranking, this does not mean that his ability is weaker than Han Santong.
As everyone knows, Han Santong is more hearty, and he likes to compete with people the most, and there are only a handful of military generals who have not fought with Han Santong, and it is precisely because Han Santong likes to look for people everywhere to learn martial arts, and he does have a good marksmanship, so his name is also very loud in the government and the opposition.
Chi Gongdu's temperament is the opposite of Han Santong.
Chi Gongdu is low-key, taciturn, cautious and cautious, and strict in governing the army, and the top of the Sixth Guard Army of Youtun is a first-class elite soldier of the empire.
Because of his temperament, Chi Gongdu naturally will not look for people to learn from him like Han Santong, and because of this, the world knows that although his marksmanship is good, but what kind of degree he gets, it is difficult to assess, Chi Gongdu has very few shots, but those who have seen his marksmanship will know that although his marksmanship is not gorgeous, it is extremely sharp, and he often shoots is a killer move.
Soldiers, so that the gun is the most common, but the good use is only a handful, Chi Gongdu's skill can be ranked as one of the four guns, which is enough to prove his ability.
His expression looked solemn, with a black BMW in his crotch, and thousands of soldiers behind him followed him like a sea of mountains, whistling past the heavens and the earth.
Suddenly, Chi Gongdu, the brave general of the Right Tun Guard, who had been letting the horse gallop, his face sank, slowed down the horse, and then quickly reined in the horse, raised his hand, and a guard commander behind him immediately drew his sword and raised it high, and for a time thousands of soldiers quickly reined in the horse, but in a moment, they stopped neatly, and the military formation was not scattered, and it can also be seen that Chi Gongdu commanded the troops in a good way.
Chi Gongdu's eyebrows were locked, and he looked straight ahead, only to see that not far ahead, he was standing alone, and immediately one person was wearing armor and a tiger-shaped helmet, Chi Gongdu could see at a glance that the person was wearing tiger armor, and only the royal guards in the empire could wear this exquisite armor.
There was silence all around, and thousands of soldiers were stopped by the horse in front of them.
"Who's coming?" Chi Gongdu's voice was like thunder, and his eyes were cold.
The horse in front of him had slowly approached, holding the reins of the horse with one hand, and holding the handle of the saber at his waist with the other, raised his head, looked at Chi Gongdu, and said with a smile: "Xuanyuan Sheng has only seen General Chi!" ”
"Xuanyuan Shengcai?" Chi Gongdu looked a little surprised, "What are you doing here?" ”
"That's exactly what I'm going to ask the General." Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled: "The general is leading thousands of elite soldiers to menacing, but he doesn't know where to go?" ”
Chi Gongdu shook his head and said, "I don't need to explain to you. ”
"If it were the past, Xuanyuan Sheng would naturally not dare to be so rude." Xuanyuan Shengcai rode alone to face thousands of troops, but he didn't have the slightest fear, he just smiled: "But today, the Tongtian Temple is holding a ceremony to worship the heavens, and the direction in which General Chi leads the army seems to be the Tongtian Palace, Xuanyuan Shengcai has to ask General Chi's intentions!" ”
Chi Gongdu sneered: "Xuanyuan Shengcai, you give Ben Jiang a dodge, Ben will have a big matter, I don't have time to talk to you here." ”
"Chi Gongdu, don't be verbose with me, just make it clear." Xuanyuan Shengcai said coldly: "I was ordered to guard this place, and no one was allowed to pass, you can't tell why, do you dare to go over?" ”
"You're the only one who wants to stop the general?" Chi Gongdu laughed and said: "If you want Ben Jiang to tell me why, then Ben will tell you that I am afraid that someone in Tongtian Hall will make trouble, and Ben will beware of villains harming the saint." ”
"Someone's making trouble?" Xuanyuan Shengcai said lightly: "Who is General Chi talking about?" ”
Chi Gongdu sneered: "I'm going to ask you, the Holy Dragon drove out of the capital, and less than an hour later, the two thousand royal guards also left the capital, I was going to ask you, where are the two thousand guards now?" When the saint left Beijing, Xuanyuan Shao led 600 guards out of Beijing to protect, why did he transfer 2,000 guards from Beijing? ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai stared at Chi Gongdu and said, "It seems that the general really knows the movements of the capital. ”
As the general of the Youtun Guard, Chi Gongdu spent very little time in the capital on weekdays, and spent most of the year in the Youtun Guard Battalion.
"If you don't pay attention to the movements in the capital, how will Ben know that someone is preparing to make a rebellion?" Chi Gongdu raised his spear horizontally, raised his hand slightly, and the spear forward, "Xuanyuan Shengcai, since you are here, just to avoid the trouble of the general, take you down first, and wait for the saint to return to Beijing safely, and then everything will be decided." ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai held the saber in his hand and said with a smile: "General Chi is really majestic, but Xuanyuan Sheng thinks that it is true that someone wants to make trouble, but the one who is ready to make trouble is probably General Chi, right?" ”
Chi Gongdu sneered: "Whoever is right and wrong, there will always be a result." You Xuanyuan clan are scheming, everyone knows that the saint is not thin on your Xuanyuan clan, but now that you Xuanyuan clan is cold, you actually have the intention of rebellion, your conspiracy and tricks, should you not be clear? With a wave of his hand, he said sharply: "I took it!" ”
……
……
Xuanyuan Shengcai stopped Chi Gongdu alone, Chu Huan naturally didn't know, he only heard that exclamation in his ears at this time.
Behind Xuanyuan Shao, the dagger in the hand of a Xiao Wei has been stabbed at Xuanyuan Shao like a poisonous snake, Xuanyuan Shao obviously has no defense, hearing that exclamation, his reaction is also amazing, the body has flashed sideways, but the Xiao Wei's skills are obviously also extremely good, this time the shot has been prepared for a long time, Xuanyuan Shao dodged, but the Xiao Wei dagger is a horizontal, the sharp dagger did not stab Xuanyuan Shao, but it cut off Xuanyuan Shao's quiver belt, although Xuanyuan Shao's body flashed, but the quiver fell from behind.
The captain was agile, and the moment the quiver box fell, he had already reached out to catch it, and at this time he had already heard Xuanyuan Shao shouting, and he punched him with a backhand.
Xiao Wei's purpose didn't seem to be Xuanyuan Shao himself, he grabbed Xuanyuan Shao's quiver box, and his body had retreated quickly, and he had retreated a few meters away in an instant, widening the distance between him and Xuanyuan Shengcai.
Many people saw this scene, and they were all shocked, looking at the body of the captain, it seemed to be more flexible than Xuanyuan Shao, and the degree was faster than Xuanyuan Shao.
Xuanyuan Shao didn't follow, his fists clenched, stared at Xiao Wei coldly, and said sharply: "Fan Quan, you want to rebel?" ”
The lieutenant was quite a distance away from Xuanyuan Shao, holding a quiver box in one hand and a dagger in the other, and laughed: "It is said that Xuanyuan Shao's archery is unparalleled in the world, Xuanyuan arrows are not in vain, but I don't know if Xuanyuan, who has no teeth and claws, can shoot arrows without arrows?" ”
Xuanyuan Shaocai frowned, and sneered: "You are not Fan Quan, who are you?" ”
Another lieutenant had already arrived at De Xuanyuan Shao's side, and he was also shocked: "Commander, his voice ...... He's not Fan Quan! ”
The man smiled and said: "Your Fan Xiaowei has already entered the Yellow Spring last night, I heard that General Xuanyuan has always been dear to his subordinates, and he treats that Fan Xiaowei like a brother, and now that your brother has entered the Yellow Spring, I wonder if General Xuanyuan is willing to accompany him?" ”
Xuanyuan Shao sneered: "It seems that your disguise technique has not yet reached the point of perfection, and your voice has leaked out of you after all." ”
"It's no longer about the big picture." The man smiled and said, "As long as you can take General Xuanyuan's arrows, it is like pulling out the teeth of a tiger, and a tiger without teeth is not worried!" ”
On the high platform, the emperor watched coldly, his face expressionless.
Most of the officials in the field were already dumbfounded, this change was so sudden that many people didn't even understand what was going on, and their brains were confused.
Everyone was stunned, but Xu Congyang was not stunned, he already knew that something was wrong, and said sharply: "Take Huang Ju first." ”
He knew that the sudden change in the Tongtian Temple could only be related to Huang Ju, and at this moment, it was possible to stabilize the situation by controlling Huang Ju first.
Huang Ju is just a poor old man who is dying, naturally easy to deal with, Lin Yuanfang, the secretary of the ministry, was ridiculed by Huang Ju of An Guogong in public, and his heart was already full of resentment, Xu Congyang shouted over there, Lin Yuanfang immediately rose up a force, although Fang Cai said that An Guogong was rebellious, but without the emperor's order, he did not dare to act rashly, no matter what, Huang Ju is a national prince, and in the whole world, I am afraid that only the emperor can fall, this time Xu Congyang spoke, and Lin Yuanfang also saw that the situation had changed, Immediately pounced on Huang Ju.
Lin Yuanfang is only in his forties, although he is not strong, after all, he is also in the prime of life, it is naturally easy to deal with a dying old man, he knows that Huang Ju has already committed a capital crime against the sky, and he can't hide, lest others grab Huang Ju first and grab the credit, he shouted, and his two hands have already grabbed Huang Ju.
At this moment, a person next to him flashed out horizontally, lifted his foot, and without waiting for Lin Yuanfang to get closer, he had already kicked it hard, Lin Yuanfang was caught off guard and was kicked in the waist, this kick was not small, Lin Yuanfang screamed "ouch", he had been kicked to the ground, there was already one more person next to Huang Ju, who was tall and big, and said unremittingly: "You are a thing, you also deserve to offend An Guogong?" ”
Everyone looked at the past and immediately recognized that this person was You Gan, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, and everyone instantly understood that this You Gan had always been very close to Huang Ju, and he was also a member of the Han Wang Party, but at this time, he stood up and was on the same front as An Guogong.
Lin Yuanfang was kicked to the ground, and two more officials next to him stepped forward and kicked a few times, both scolding: "Dog-like crumbs, I want to make you feel good today." But it was two people from the Han King Party who jumped out.
