Volume 1 The Storm in the Capital Chapter 31 The Battle of the Man and the Mouse
Zhao Yizhi couldn't see the situation on the periphery of the team, and seeing that Xiao Chong was so nervous, he had the heart to agree, he hadn't been the emperor for a few days, but he didn't want to die so unexplained. He also knew the possible danger that Xiao Chong said, and he was afraid that the appearance of this rat was instigated by someone behind it.
Zhao Yizhi instructed: "Dispatch other Chen Congwei to escort them, don't alarm them, this may be a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" ”
Xiao Chong hurriedly agreed, although they were moving slowly, it was because Zhao Yi was there, and it was not good to startle the holy driver. But if Chen Congwei is transferred from the palace, with Chen Congwei's kung fu, it will arrive in the blink of an eye.
"Put the blue Chen Congwei signal, and increase the Chen Congwei to escort the driver!" Xiao Chong ordered to the guard who was in charge of the signal. Each guardian has a signal from other guardians, and red indicates that the situation is urgent, and all the guardians of that guardian are coming. Blue means that the situation is a little more relaxed, and only a half-back is sufficient.
The Wei in charge of the signal did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out the blue Chen Congwei signal, and wanted to launch it to the sky and increase the Chen Congwei.
"Squeak" A huge mouse rushed up, bit the signal tube in the hand of Xu Shiwei, jumped back into the rat group, and the nearby rats swarmed up and bit the signal tube to pieces.
"Shaw... Xiao Wei, the signal tube was robbed by a mouse..."The signal tube in the hand of the Wei was snatched, and he said in a little panic.
Xiao Chong glared at him: "You can't even hold the signal canister steadily, what are you doing to eat!" Na Zhiwei lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Xiao Chong turned around and pleaded guilty to Zhao Yizhi: "Your Majesty, the subordinates are not strict, and the signal canister... Lost. Please send additional Youyu guards to rush over, open the way with bows and arrows, and rush to the prison! ”
Zhao Yizhi nodded: "The rule that the Twelve Heavenly Guards only bring one signal tube each time they travel has to be changed." You look down on the guards to arrest hundreds of officials, and the civil and military officials dare not resist, so you are also loosening your martial arts, right? You can do it. ”
Xiao Chong was sweating profusely when he said this, indeed, how dare the civil and military officials resist when they were arrested by the guards, and they were eager to tie themselves up and send them to the door, for fear of being suspected of resisting arrest. Their martial arts training is much less than that of other guards.
Xiao Chong turned around and ordered again: "Put the blue Youyu Guard signal!" ”
The guard in charge of the signal took out a signal canister again, and two rats got into the crowd, pounced again, and were grabbed by the other guards on the side, and fell to the ground to death.
"Huh~~Bang~"
A signal spiraled into the sky, exploding. In the dark night, the fireworks are gorgeous, and they slowly turn into a big blue rooster pattern.
Not far away, in Youyuwei's guard, Pan Xuan, the chief of Youyuwei's guard, was about to lie down and go to bed, when he saw the rooster pattern that exploded in the sky, he hurriedly turned over, and at the same time, the deputy general on duty rushed into the house: "Pan Wei, it's a blue rooster pattern." ”
"I saw it earlier! All of them! Prepare the horses! Pan Xuan hurriedly dressed and ordered.
On Zhao Yizhi's side, the rats only squeaked around the periphery of the team, and the guards strictly guarded the formation, holding guns.
"It seems that these two are also the lords who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles." Hu Lishan hid in the shadows and said hatefully.
A light whistle sounded, and in the "squeak" of the rats, it was not noticed. But the rats pounced as if they had received a signal.
At the same time, Xiao Chong gave an order, pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
The screams of rats were endless, and many rats evaded the spear assassination, rushed into the team, and rushed straight towards Zhao Yizhi's position.
"Sure enough, it's for Your Majesty!" Xiao Chong secretly complained in his heart, and swung his sword to cut a rat that rushed into the team in half.
"Stick to the formation! Protect Your Majesty! Xiao Chong kept repeating the order.
The guards were dressed in armor, but they couldn't stop the crazy rats, and from time to time, the guards were jumped in the face by the rats, and they bit down on the face, letting out a wail.
Zhao Yizhi sat in the sedan chair, heard the cries of mice in his ears and the wails of Xu Shiwei, and felt a little irritable: "Xiao Chong! Can't even a swarm of rats? ”
When Xiao Chong heard Zhao Yizhi's words, his face was full of shame: "Your Majesty is angry, minister... This sweeps away the beasts. With that, he came to the periphery of the team with his sword, waved his two swords, and picked off the two mice on the faces of the guards.
"It's just being bitten to death by a rat! I have to carry it to death! If anyone dares to scream again, don't blame me for being ruthless! Xiao Chong said lightly with a cold face.
When the guards heard this, they closed their mouths in unison, the guards rarely had the opportunity to use force on weekdays, and Xiao Chong was kind and kind, so he was a little lazy. Seeing him so angry today, everyone was a little scared and became serious.
In the silence of the night, the rats were still squeaking wildly, but none of them dared to speak, they were already tall, and none of them were fat and strong. At this time, the guards were silent, and with a grim expression, they stabbed to death the rats that pounced on them one by one, as if they were gods.
Under the command of Xiao Chong, the team was divided into five rows, the first two rows were in the outermost outermost rows with spears and rats, and if there were rats that slipped through the net, the third and fourth rows would be killed with swords. Finally, the fifth row was also the last line of defense, tightly surrounding Zhao Yizhi's sedan chair.
Most of the rats died under the spears of the first and second rows, and a few broke through and were also hacked to death by the swords of the guards in the third and fourth rows. None of the rats could get close to Zhao Yizhi's side.
The man-rat war was going on nervously.
A row of feathered arrows came and nailed a group of rats to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a group of men and horses, and the horses came from behind the team with bows, and before they could get close, the second row of feathered arrows shot out, and shot a group of rats to the ground.
Pan Xuan rode first and rushed to the side of the guards, and the guards scattered on both sides, getting out of the way, Pan Xuan rolled the saddle and dismounted, went straight into the formation, and rushed to Zhao Yizhi's side.
"Youyuwei is late, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. Is Your Majesty okay? Pan Xuan was in armor, so he had to bend down and salute.
"No courtesy, Pan Aiqing came just in time, let's sweep away the rats with Xiao Aiqing." Zhao Yizhi smiled and said, "By the way, this rat is coming strangely, someone must be behind it." However, it should be a little unlikely that one person commands so many rats, and there must be a rat king nearby. Pan Aiqing depends on you. ”
Pan Sui bent down again and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise! He returned to his ranks and commanded, "Your Majesty, there must be a rat king nearby!" Shoot on the spot when you find it! ”
"Yes!" Youyuwei replied in unison, with a momentum like a rainbow, and for a while he even covered up the sound of rats.
As the chief of the Youyu Guard, Pan Xuan was actually really aggrieved in his heart. In the six hundred years of the capital, not to mention that there is no turmoil, but some small messes basically can't take their turn to shoot this group of Youyu guards, a hundred years ago, there was also the Emperor Daqi hunting, every time he travels with Youyu Guard. Later, Youyuwei was gradually forgotten. Only on Chinese New Year's Eve every year, the emperor personally summoned, and the chief of the guards of each guard had to meet the emperor.
This time, the emperor sent a letter calling on Youyuwei to escort him, although he was a group of rats, but he could not be underestimated, and the rest of Youyuwei was also held back for a long time, and when he was a child, he often listened to his ancestors and fathers lament that the court was useless and not reused. Now that he has become Youyuwei, he understands the kind of depression: there is no unparalleled archery and no place for bravery, so it is better to go to the battlefield and shoot the enemy.
Without Pan Xuan's orders, the Youyu guards showed their best state, opened their bows and arrows, and shot the rats with strange movements and tricky angles on the spot. The spirit is much higher than the previous Guardian.
Xiao Chong was secretly ashamed when he saw Youyuwei in such a state, fortunately he rectified in time, otherwise Youyuwei rushed to compete and make a judgment, and he and Xushiwei would never be able to raise their heads in front of the rest of Tianwei in the future.
One of the Youyu guards found a large rat on the wall, and it was hiding behind the rat colony, "squeaking" at the rat colony, it was the rat king.
"Medium!"
There is no need to command, Youyuwei stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, and a feather arrow left the string, hitting the rat king.
The rat king squeaked and fell down from the wall, and suddenly a group of rats in the rat colony stopped, looked up and looked around, and scattered in all directions.
"Well shot! Who shot it? Reward! Zhao Yizhi's mental power is far beyond ordinary people, so he naturally discovered this scene and couldn't help but cheer in the sedan chair.
The guards beside him hurriedly shouted, asking the Youyu Guardian to report his name for a reward.
When Pan Xuan heard His Majesty's personal praise, he didn't feel that there was a light on his face, and secretly wrote down the Youyuwei who shot the Rat King first, and he had to take credit for himself when he turned around.
"Squeak"
Another rat king was spotted and shot off the rooftop, scattering a swarm of rats among the swarm.
"You two still don't do it?" Hu Lishan lost two rat kings, and his flesh hurt a little, and he urged Lu Ziyou and Mo Qinglou softly.
Lu Ziyou saw that Hu Lishan was in a hurry, so he stood up slowly, luck was in his hands, and for a while, Lu Ziyou's hands were as big as two bear paws again.
"Little Emperor! Death! Lu Ziyou rushed out of the shadows, raised his fist, and smashed it at the guard.
Xiao Chong turned his head and was startled, is this a fist or a big hammer? But since they rushed over, there was no doubt that they were assassins.
Xiao Chong put his sword back into its sheath, grabbed the spear of one of the guards, and rushed forward.
Xiao Chong's spear blocked Lu Ziyou's fist, but unexpectedly, the spear broke in response to a squeak. Xiao Chong hurriedly kicked Lu Ziyou, Lu Ziyou raised his fist to meet him, Xiao Chong kicked hard with his fist, and stepped back.
Lu Ziyou was about to pursue, when a feather arrow came at him, forcing him to take two steps back. Pan Xuan rushed to Xiao Chong's side, and aimed his bow at Lu Ziyou.
Seeing Lu Ziyou and Pan Xuanxiao confronting each other, Mo Qinglou smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned over from the shadows and jumped onto the roof, found the position of Zhao Yizhi's sedan chair, jumped up, and rushed towards Zhao Yizhi from the air.
"There are assassins, above! Escort! Although Mo Qinglou's movements were light, he still couldn't escape You Yuwei's eyes.
The guards were reminded by Youyuwei, and they also found Mo Qinglou rushing from mid-air, and a few people on the periphery stabbed Mo Qinglou with guns. Mo Qinglou stroked the spear in his hand, got up with his strength, and continued to rush towards Zhao Yizhi unrelentingly.
The rest of the guards saw that the situation was urgent, and many of them rushed upward, although Mo Qinglou was in mid-air, he bent his hands into claws, and grabbed the armor helmets of several guards who pounced, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Mo Qinglou was also stagnant because of this and fell to the ground.
Without waiting for the rest of the guards to react, Mo Qinglou took a mysterious step again and rushed towards Zhao Yizhi.
"Suffer death!"
