According to the secret report of the Forbidden Army's outpost, it is very likely that the targets of this group are the Imperial Palace, the Tai Academy, and the Medical College. The palace has tall walls and tight guards, and even if these thousands gather together to attack, they will only break their heads and bleed. Therefore, Liu Ziqiu was not worried about the safety of the palace. Although there are also guards in these two places, after all, there is no high city wall as protection, and the strength of the guards is also a little thin, so it is easy to be attacked by that group.

Although the students of Tai Academy usually have to practice riding and archery and knife skills, and Lang Zhong of the medical school will also practice kung fu such as five bird operas to strengthen the body, but they have a specialization in the art industry, and their ability is definitely not enough in front of the real murderers. Once they are attacked by this group, what awaits them will be a brutal killing. Whether it is the teachers and students of Tai Academy or Lang Zhong of the Medical College, they are all talents carefully cultivated by Liu Ziqiu, and there is absolutely no room for any loss. Moreover, once it gets to that point, the impact will be more profound than the loss of a few talents.

Liu Ziqiu made a judgment almost instantly, the group of people used a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the attack on the palace was fake, but the real target was the Tai Academy and the Medical College. With this judgment, Liu Ziqiu immediately issued a second order: "Sue General Li, let him mobilize heavy troops and wipe out this group of people!" ”

Originally, Liu Ziqiu also counted on Tong Guò and his gang to catch the mastermind behind them. But seeing that this group of people has begun to act, the mastermind behind the scenes still has not moved. If they don't react for a long time, I'm afraid that these people will cause irreparable losses to the Tai Academy and the medical school. Liu Ziqiu felt that he couldn't afford such a loss, so he had to order the net to be closed in advance.

However, before the order could be conveyed to Li Jing, a new situation was reported from the front. Earlier, the spies of the Forbidden Army thought that these people were actually divided into two groups. Sure enough, the larger group targeted the Imperial Palace, the Tai Academy, and the Medical College, while the smaller group began to storm several yamen in the capital, and even openly attacked the soldiers patrolling the city.

Although the soldiers in the capital were well-equipped and well-trained, the martial arts of the group of only about two hundred people were obviously more than superior, and often one or two people could deal with the patrol soldiers of the entire squad. The gang was divided into nearly 100 groups, and almost simultaneously launched to kill people and set fire everywhere in the city, and the capital was soon in chaos. Fortunately, the spies of the forbidden army had already kept an eye on them, and as soon as they saw them move, they appeared one after another to fight with them, which avoided greater losses. Even so, the people of the capital are also panicked, and their families are closed and settled, and they can't avoid it.

Zhao Ling, who accompanied Liu Ziqiu to the banquet, hurriedly persuaded: "Please also go to the military camp for a while!" ”

The West Garden was originally on the outskirts, and outside the garden wall was a large camp of the forbidden army. When you get there, you can't attack even if you have thousands of troops, and it's easier to pass on information. Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "The secretaries often say that I am a golden mouth. I said that I would feast these candidates today, but how could I break my promise? Come into the table with me, and don't talk much! ”

Zhao Ling frowned, and then persuaded: "Since His Majesty's mind has been decided, the minister should not say much. However, His Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, and there is no room for loss. Please transfer more troops and horses to implement martial law in Xiyuan! ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "A few small people, why be afraid!" Zhao Aiqing, I and you are both from the sea of corpses and blood, why did you become so timid today. ”

The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to speak again, but he always had an ominous premonition, and the goal of those people would definitely not be so simple. You know, even if they can stir up a little storm in the city, with the strength of Luoyang City's defenses, it will soon disappear, and those people have no other way out but death. Putting the lives of thousands of people at risk for the sake of making a small disturbance, no one would do such a thing unless the Lord made them insane. What's more, since these people have accepted the task, they must already know their fate and are real dead soldiers. The price it takes to train a dead soldier is unbelievable to know without thinking about it, but it is consumed in such senseless movements.

However, before he could figure out what this matter was, Liu Ziqiu had already walked into the hall of Qiyin Courtyard. The 400 candidates who stood out from this year's imperial examination shouted long live under the leadership of Du Ruhui, Li Shimin and Lu Zhengqi. It's just that the cheers of these candidates haven't ended yet, and they heard a gloomy voice coming from the roof beam of the hall: "Liu Ziqiu, you steal the throne, and you dare to deserve the title of long live, aren't you afraid of losing your longevity!" ”

Without Liu Ziqiu answering, a guard had already jumped up and rushed straight to the roof beam. can be selected by Liu Ziqiu to serve as a guard, he is definitely a strong martial artist, and this guard's light skills and sword skills are a must. I saw that his body was shaking, as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he was already close to the roof beam. But I saw a black shadow suddenly appear on the roof beam, and the cold light in the black shadow's hand flashed, and collided with the guard. In a hurry, the guard hurriedly swung his sword, but before he could let out a muffled grunt, it fell from mid-air like a kite with a broken string. A line of blood was drawn through the air, like a rain of blood.

Another guard rushed out and caught his companion, only to see that he had been stabbed in the chest with blood, blood gushing out, and he had long since lost his breath. The palace guards are not only strong in martial arts, but also not weak in equipment, each of them is wearing a special soft armor made by the Ministry of Works, and ordinary swords cannot penetrate at all, but the other party only stabbed this guard through the heart with only one move, if it is not a divine weapon, it must have innate divine power.

One of the guards had already examined the wound and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, it's a sword wound!" ”

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to act rashly. Da stunned! ”

Da was stunned and hurriedly arched his hand: "The end will be!" ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand: "You take a team of people to protect these candidates from Xiyuan first!" ”

Da was stunned and hesitated: "Your Majesty, this ......"

Because Liu Ziqiu doesn't like to hug when he travels, there are only a dozen guards present. Although the guards are all strong in martial arts, the opponent is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is really tricky to take the life of the guard just now with a single sword. Even if they go together, there is no absolute certainty that they can defeat this person. Moreover, this person is hiding on the roof beam, condescending, and is not suitable for siege. If Da Su led a team of people to go first, Liu Ziqiu would have fewer guards around him, and Da Du would not dare to take this risk.

Liu Ziqiu had already sunk his face: "Da stunned, you dare to disobey!" ”

Da was stunned and helpless, so he had to give up his hand and say: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

At this time, Liu Ziqiu quietly looked at the candidates in the hall, some were flustered, some were calm, and some were trembling. In the face of sudden danger, it is normal for candidates to react in any way, and Liu Ziqiu will not use this matter as a basis for judging the ability of candidates, but those candidates who can maintain their composure, if they are under the same conditions, it is obviously easier to be reused by Liu Ziqiu.

Among those candidates who kept their composure, Du Ruhui and Li Shimin were among them, but Lu Zhengqi, who was born in a famous family, was a little flustered. In fact, it is no wonder that these children of the family have grown up in care since childhood, and they rarely encounter this situation, and it is understandable that the reaction is unsatisfactory. It seems that although the family has a deep heritage, in the long run, it will be difficult for their children to take on the big responsibilities after all. The so-called rich for only three generations may be similar to the current situation. Therefore, although the power of the family is still huge, there is no need to worry about it at all.

As for Li Shimin, he has experienced big scenes since he was a child, and this situation is just a pediatric situation for him, and it is reasonable to remain calm. However, Du Ruhui was able to be calm, which made Liu Ziqiu somewhat surprised. After all, he knew that Du Ruhui was just a weak scholar and didn't know martial arts. And he has been depressed for many years, and he has not had the opportunity to contact this moment of crisis. Being able to maintain composure may be due to his nature.

Where did the black shadow on the roof beam think that Liu Ziqiu was still observing the candidate's table at such a dangerous moment, and when he saw his eyes wandering around, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Liu Ziqiu, do you still want to take advantage of the chaos to escape?" ”

"Escape?" Liu Ziqiu shook his head and smiled, "I am waiting for you, so why do you need to escape?" ”

In fact, Liu Ziqiu did not guess that the ultimate goal of this group of people to move away from the mountain may be himself. But at this time, where will he not understand. However, even if he didn't guess it at first, he still deliberately showed an attitude that he had expected at this moment, just to put a little pressure on the other party psychologically.

Sure enough, the figure of the black figure on the roof beam moved slightly, as if looking for something. However, he quickly returned to normal, and let out another strange laugh: "Liu Ziqiu, since you knew that a certain person was coming, why did you delay your troops?" Is there an ambush around here, can you not know? It's a huge West Garden, but there are hundreds of guards, and it's not elite. There is only one person on the roof of this Qiyin Courtyard, so you don't want to use any delaying tactics! Liu Ziqiu, if you really have the guts, why don't you come up and fight someday! ”

Liu Ziqiu saw that most of the candidates in the hall had withdrawn, so he laughed loudly: "This brother, you seem to be a little too big." Do you think you're really the only one around? Hehe, why didn't the benevolent brother in the southeast corner show up and see it? ”

The dark shadow on the roof beam was taken aback, he had always thought that he was the only one hiding on the roof, and he would never have imagined that there was another person, and that person was so deeply hidden, he didn't even notice it. No, he immediately calmed down again and said with a smile: "Liu Ziqiu, you don't have to play tricks, there is only one person on this, where is there any more people!" If you don't believe me, why not come and have a look? ”

At this time, there was a burst of laughter from the southeast of the roof.
