Chapter XXVII
Lu Pengyuan ran along the Vermilion Bird Long Street all the way in the direction of the Imperial City.
What is happening here has been noticed by the people. Fortunately, the soldiers of the right Xiaowei found out in time and did not cause a greater killing.
However, the main duty of the right Xiaowei is to protect the imperial city, and a sufficient number of hussars must be ensured in front of each palace gate on weekdays, so there are not many people actually mobilized by Lu Pengyuan.
Blocking this section of Suzaku Street is already Lu Pengyuan's limit.
Lu Pengyuan was now riding over, only a few personal soldiers by his side, and as soon as they reached the street corner, they saw the people running out in a panic. These people, each with a hint of panic on their faces.
"Help!"
"Murdered!"
Lu Pengyuan's heart tightened, there were too many people pouring out of the street, and a torrent suddenly formed in front of him, blocking the way.
"Get out of the way!"
No matter how Lu Pengyuan shouted, the crowd never dispersed in the slightest. Lu Pengyuan gritted his teeth and jumped down from the saddle, and with the personal soldiers behind him, he was ready to break in.
Rumble!
There was a faint glimmer of fire in the distance, accompanied by a terrible roar of the locust demon echoing in all directions.
Lu Pengyuan's heart tightened, he knew that the other outer altars were indeed in trouble, but now he didn't have the energy to care about other people. He must hurry to His Majesty's holy car and prepare to escort him.
Before Xuan Tan died, he told Lu Pengyuan that the target of those people behind him was really the empress!
Many strange things, in fact, are obfuscating, and all serve the ultimate purpose.
Lu Pengyuan was upset, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, and someone was holding a knife in his hand, staring at him viciously.
Assassin!
The knife in the assassin's hand did not stab Lu Pengyuan's body, although Lu Pengyuan was only a brocade robe on the outside, but there was a soft armor on the inside. The blade pierced the soft armor, and it could no longer enter the slightest.
Several of the pro-soldiers reacted quickly and swarmed up to subdue the Assassin.
At this moment, a few people who fled in panic suddenly changed their appearances, their expressions became much more hideous, they pulled out their blades from the flat poles they were carrying, and rushed forward with a shout.
Lu Pengyuan's army was still behind him, and those were heavily armored soldiers who were unable to move. He did not take them with him, but chose a few able-bodied soldiers to come.
These soldiers are all masters in the army, and they often have more than a dozen skills, but these assassins are obviously also prepared, and their knives are all based on the vital points of the person. The two sides scuffled together, each with damage.
Lu Pengyuan pulled out the saber at his waist, and with a bang, the bright blade was draped over a person's neck.
Half of the man's neck was cut off in an instant, and when Lu Pengyuan pulled out the knife, the man's body was still twitching.
"Leave a living mouth!" Lu Pengyuan roared angrily.
At this time, reinforcements arrived and surrounded the Assassins. After all, Shendu is the home of the Great Zhou, and a few assassins can't take advantage of it in the slightest.
The Assassins were all dead.
Seeing that the matter was revealed, the assassins decisively took a pill from their bosoms and swallowed it, then foamed at the mouth and fell unconscious.
These are dead soldiers.
Lu Pengyuan's brain was exposed, and he was almost about to burst into a rage. He took a long breath, temporarily relieving his emotions.
"Let's go, go to the Imperial City!" Lu Pengyuan led the soldiers of the right guard and rushed to the imperial city gate.
At this moment, although the Nine Dragons Banner on the Yellow City Gate was still swaggering, there was no trace of the Holy Driver at the city gate.
Is it too late? Lu Pengyuan's heart twitched violently.
"Where is Your Majesty?" Lu Pengyuan shouted at the people guarding the city gate.
Lu Pengyuan and the right guards behind him were covered in blood and murderous, which startled the guards guarding the city. Fortunately, because His Majesty traveled today, the general of the guard Lu Guangqi was on duty in the city.
Lu Guangqi and Lu Pengyuan belong to the same royal family, and they can be regarded as distant brothers, Lu Guangqi naturally recognizes Lu Pengyuan, seeing Lu Pengyuan's appearance, Lu Guangqi was puzzled in his heart, and asked: "What are you looking for Your Majesty?" ”
Lu Pengyuan shouted: "Someone wants to assassinate Your Majesty, I saw the Panlong Banner at the city gate, Your Majesty has traveled?" ”
As soon as he heard that His Majesty was going to be assassinated, Lu Guangqi's face suddenly changed, he pointed to the direction of the east, and said, "Your Majesty is traveling, but it is going to the left gate and going to Beishi!" ”
Lu Pengyuan looked up at the east suddenly, the gods were divided into two by Luoshui, and north of Luoshui, there were also many markets.
The large altar on Suzaku Long Street is undoubtedly the largest outer altar of the water and land puja, but the number of people is too large, and His Majesty may also consider this, so he went to Beishi.
From the imperial city to the north city, you need to pass through the two squares of Yuji and Guiyi.
Lu Pengyuan shouted: "I'll rush over, you immediately go to the palace to call for reinforcements!" ”
Lu Guangqi was very clear and hurriedly agreed. Lu Pengyuan rode his horse and galloped away, and horses were not allowed outside the imperial city, but who cares about these now.
……
Tang Yun lured the locust demon all the way to the bank of the Luoshui River, and jumped into the river, the water was still a little cold, Tang Yun couldn't help but shiver.
At this moment, he suddenly screamed badly, and his little toes were a little numb, as if he had cramped.
Buzz –
The locust demon flew to the sky above Luoshui, but it seemed to be very afraid of the river, and it did not fall.
They were wandering by the river, but Tang Yun took the opportunity to swim in the direction of Shendu.
Luoshui leads directly to Shendu, there are many ferries and boats on the riverbank, and the Wuya big ships of the Great Zhou Army can only sail in the sea and cannot float in such river water, so most of them are some ferries with small carrying capacity.
The locust demon flew outside, but it did not reach the river, but the people on the ferry were a little frightened.
"Are those, are they youkai?"
"I've heard for a long time that there are monsters in the Shendu City, and I thought they had dispersed, why would they still appear now?"
The movement on the river soon attracted the attention of the Great Zhou army stationed here.
A small battleship rowed over, and Tang Yun swam up with all his might.
"Who are you?" The soldiers on the battleship pulled Tang Yun up and questioned loudly.
Tang Yun glanced at it, there were about fifty people on the battleship, he walked up to the brigade commander and said, "This official is the demon hunter Tang Yun, you immediately notify the people on the river and quickly organize a large army to encircle and suppress these monsters." ”
Tang Yun threw the waist card into the hand of the brigade marshal, and seeing that he was still a little suspicious, he scolded sharply: "Don't go quickly!" ”
Those locust demons are hovering around, and this is a good opportunity.
In the distance, the wolf smoke of Shendu City has no sign of dissipating. What exactly happened inside, he didn't know now.
Tang Yun said: "Prepare a fast horse for me!" ”
Soon, these people brought a good horse, and Tang Yun drove the horse in the direction of the divine capital.
