Chapter 151: Swaggering through the market
The heavy footsteps of the giants were like a thunderbolt, rumbling over the wide galloping path, even under the background of firecrackers and fireworks all over the city, it was particularly clear.
A group of centaur horsemen on duty looked at the giants that ran over the street like two hills, and were stunned. By the time they reacted and were ready to intercept it, the giant had already run away and entered the next precinct.
"My lord, what should I do?" the centaur rider was at a loss, not knowing whether to chase or not.
The bearded lieutenant stared at the figure faintly visible under the fireworks in the distance, thought for a moment, and waved his hand: "Strengthen vigilance, immediately enter a state of combat readiness, and if they appear again, they must be intercepted." β
"Whew!" the knights replied loudly, drew their swords in unison, clenched their spears, and scattered around, ready for battle.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, if an unknown person appears near the imperial city, the cavalry and halberd in the jurisdiction cannot escape responsibility.
After arranging for his subordinates to be on guard, the lieutenant did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to the lieutenant.
When the lieutenant received the report, he was even more confused, and scolded that he didn't know which powerful person was harming people, and he didn't rest during the New Year, so he had to go to the street to cause trouble. The horsemen and halberders on duty have worked hard enough, and they don't know how to be sympathetic.
The lieutenant scolded while reporting to Ji Jingo.
Zhi Jinwu is ranked as Jiuqing and is the highest person in charge of the security of the Beijing Division. He has been in officialdom for a long time, and he is much calmer than his subordinates, and after hearing the report, he ordered all jurisdictions to report on the situation. Intercept these bastards as much as possible, while sending people to inquire about the provinces to see whose orders it is.
The legal system of Daqin is strict. To have such a tall and strong giant as an attendant, and such a bold magnate, after all, there are only so many people, and they can be counted on two hands.
For a while, the atmosphere near the imperial city suddenly became tense.
Mowgli didn't care about this, he just reminded Shi and the others to pay attention to the rhythm and adjust their breathing. It is necessary to adjust the state in place, but not to over-consume the body.
Accepted the Queen's mission. He only made one request: to give him a ten-stone city crossbow.
The ten-stone city defense crossbow has a range of 1,000 steps and weighs 200 catties, and ordinary people can't hold it at all. However, for a stone with a height of two zhang and a fifth-order shield master, the two-hundred-pound city-guarding crossbow was about the same as the bow in Lin Fei's hand.
Lin Fei rode his horse. Stone carried a city crossbow on his back, and Mu carried Mowgli on his back, spreading his long legs, and rushing forward on the streets of Xianyang.
To them, they were just trotting, but to the patrolling knights and halberders, the movement was a little scary. For a while, the wind was loud, as if facing a great enemy.
Wuji didn't care at all, he had the jade plate given by the queen in his hand. belongs to killing people by order, whoever dares to stop him, he just shows him the jade plate.
Of course. In advance, these people can stop him.
What he was thinking about now was a forty-mile rush and a thunderous kill of Shi Dalong.
From the moment he knew that Death's Door was going to deal with him, he began to prepare. Although he didn't think about killing people on Chinese New Year's Eve, he was very well prepared. Let Lin Fei teach the giants footwork is to improve the shortcomings of the giants' strength and agility. Prepare for today's run.
The giants were too heavy for any mount to carry them. If you want to increase the speed, you can only make a fuss about themselves.
Under Lin Fei's teaching, the unremitting efforts of the TongguΓ² giants themselves, coupled with Wuji's help to adjust their meridians, in just a few days, the speed of the two giants has improved significantly. Now, they are running on foot, comparable to Lin Fei at a trot.
The disadvantage is that the movement is too large, and it is not easy to hide people's eyes and ears.
But with the jade card in hand, Wuji doesn't need to hide people's eyes and ears at all, he can be capricious and public.
They hurried forward along the high walls of the Imperial City and turned onto Suzaku Street.
......
Linghu Minzhi grabbed the reins, looked at the figures of two large and one small, speeding away, and was stunned for a while.
"Du Yu, that's ...... Mowgli them?"
Du Yu also couldn't believe his eyes, looked at it carefully for a while, and finally was still not sure: "It should be...... Right. β
"What are they going to do here?" Ling Hu Minzhi thought about breaking his head, and he couldn't think of what Wuji wanted to do now. Does he want to rely on four people to face more than 300 dead soldiers, and fight to the death with Shi Dalong?
Du Yu is not wrong, this product is really a dare to work hard.
Linghu Minzhi suddenly thought of Yin Congzhou's words, and suddenly his heart froze, and after a little thought, he shouted: "Let's go, let's catch up!"
The two kicked their mounts hard and chased after them.
......
In the night sky, above the firecrackers and fireworks, a big black eagle spread its wings and followed closely, watching Wuji and others run onto Suzaku Street, then his figure turned, circled, avoided the imperial city, and flew to the northwest.
After more than a dozen breaths, the big eagle landed in the courtyard of General Yingyang's mansion, turned into a man in black, and hurriedly walked into the backyard.
He was Chen Ying, who was ordered by Yin Jiao to monitor Wuji and others.
"General, the great master and the seventh prince went to the Shi family's restaurant, and after a while, the kid set off. β
General Yingyang Yin Jiao stood up: "How many people?"
"Four men: the boy and his three attendants. β
"Courageous, but ignorant. Yin Jiao snorted: "Four people deal with three hundred dead soldiers, who does he think he is?"
Chen Ying thought for a moment and reminded: "General, that kid seems to have been prepared, and he has been training three attendants these days. Judging from the speed at which the giants were running, it was entirely possible for them to catch Shi Dalong off guard. β
"It's kind of interesting. Yin Jiao stroked his beard and smiled slightly. "Chenying, you take Xuhai Erying on a trip and remind Shi Dalong not to be negligent. If you need to, you can help the handles and be careful. β
"Wow. Tataka answered, turned around and went out.
After a short time, three figures jumped up, turned into three big eagles, and flew to the southern suburbs.
Yin Jiao paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself, "What the hell is this old turtle doing?"
......
"Mother, you can't do that. Ying Yiran was so angry that her face turned red, and her chest rose and fell violently. "He's going to die!"
"Really? I don't think so. The queen drank tea and said, "However, it's not bad to die, so you don't have to worry about you all the time." People with low eyes and low hands, and boastful talk are the most annoying. β
"Queen Mother, he is still an adult, let alone a war......"
"Is this also called fighting?" the queen dismissed, "Three hundred dead soldiers, not three hundred daring soldiers." A dead soldier is a dead soldier, and he will never become a daring warrior. If that was terrible, do you think your father would leave the door of death until today?"
Ying also choked. Dare soldiers are also dead soldiers, but they are dead soldiers in the army, specially used to charge into battle. The biggest difference between them and the Dead Men of the Dead is not that their realm is higher and their combat power is stronger, but that they are proficient in battle formations and know how to cooperate with each other.
Compared to them, the Dead Men are just a group of rabble, although they dare to fight and rush, they don't know what fighting is.
A hundred daring warriors can easily kill three hundred dead soldiers.
Despite this, Ying Yiran is still worried. Of course, the dead man is not a warrior, but Wuji is also not a daring warrior, not to mention that he only has four people.
Ying Yiran secretly glanced at the queen and walked out. "I'm going to see if the dumplings are okay. β
"It's okay to look at the dumplings, but if you go and help, it's free. The queen looked at the fire and laughed softly: "I don't know if you are so careful? You, if you can't fight him, you will be bullied by him in the future. β
"Queen Mother, what do you say? Ying Yiyi was seen through her thoughts, ashamed and anxious. "Although he has some talent in the Book of Heaven, he is very stupid in other things. β
"You don't understand, this is great wisdom. The queen sighed and glanced at Yingyiran. "You're just clever. β
Ying Yiran rolled her eyes, pouted and said, "Queen Mother, your illusions are getting more and more sophisticated, I don't even know if what you said is true or false." β
"A leaf obstructs the eyes, and you can't see Mount Tai. The queen stroked Ying Yiran's head and said lovingly: "Yiyi, your husband is right, you are not suitable to be a great teacher, or it is more practical to teach your husband and children." Listen to the queen mother, don't worry about it here, go wash your hands, learn to cook a few dishes, and when he comes back, treat him. β
Ying Yiyi didn't want to go. "Mother, do you have anyone else to answer them?"
"Of course, your brother. β
"Ah?!" Ying Yiran just breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as he heard that the arrangement was arranged by Ying Dade, his heart that had just fallen rose again. "What else can he do but recite poetry? Send him to collect the corpse?"
"What kind of corpse will you collect for the New Year?" the queen glared at Yingyiran. "Your brother is only responsible for retrieving the token, not collecting the body. β
"The Queen Motherβ"
......
Shi Dalong sat in the hall with a gloomy face.
Thirty dead men stood aside, their faces equally gloomy.
This Chinese New Year's Eve was too depressing, everyone else was setting off firecrackers, setting off fireworks, the family was reunited, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner lively, he was good, surrounded by a group of dead soldiers, waiting for the enemy who would not appear at all.
Seeing that the time is coming, there is no news, it is estimated that Wuji is tasting food at the Shi family restaurant at the moment, and he will not appear here.
Unless he's crazy.
Shi Dalong hesitated, considering whether to lift the guard and arrange for his subordinates to have a belated Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, when a sharp roar suddenly came from the air. A figure swooped down in the air, turned over as it approached the ground, and turned into a man in black.
The dead soldiers suddenly became nervous, and the sound of drawing swords rang out. The four dead soldiers beside Shi Dalong instinctively staggered up, lined up as a human wall, blocking the way of the man in black.
The man in black smiled, shaking his black cloak lightly. "Lord Shimen, your enemies are approaching, and they will arrive in a quarter of an hour at most. Get ready for battle. With that, he jumped to his feet, turned into a great eagle, and disappeared into the night.
Shi Dalong gasped, his palms were full of cold sweat.
There was a dead silence in the courtyard-
