Chapter 12: The Broken Jade Tower

There is no curfew in the city of Tokyo, and the night before is noisy, and the night after slowly falls into peace.

The location of the broken jade building is near the Suzaku Gate where the inner city and the outer city meet, and there is a street here, called Suzaku Street.

This is not the kind of place to eat, drink and have fun in Panlou Market, it is all shops that do not stay up late.

It was almost midnight, and there were no shops on either side of the street, only the red lanterns swaying and the watchmen banging on the bangs every now and then.

As for the forbidden army of the night watch, it is not seen.

According to the duties, the front division of the palace is responsible for the patrol of the imperial city, and the guard pro-military division is responsible for the patrol of the inner and outer cities.

Zhao Tan sat by the window on the third floor of the Broken Jade Building, there was a table in front of him, on which there was a wine jug and a few side dishes, he poured himself a glass of wine, and then said: "Laugh and drink a glass of wine, in the murderous night market, Commander Zhu, what do you think?" ”

There was a man in armor at the table, who was the patrol commander of the inner city tonight.

Commander Zhu was already trembling, he knew that this broken jade building was Zhao Ta's property, and earlier one of the following heads sent a generous gift, saying that the Seven Stars Society was going to open a arena around here, and the forbidden army on patrol closed his eyes slightly, and he didn't take it seriously, after all, this kind of thing is an unwritten unspoken rule in Tokyo City, isn't it just a rush in the rivers and lakes, and it's not a sabotage and rebellion, at most it will disturb the people, as for the dead people, both sides will deal with it themselves, and it is impossible to report to the official.

"Commander Zhu, what is the crime of withdrawing patrols and disarming, do you know?" Zhao Ta asked after taking a glass of wine.

Commander Zhu knelt on the ground with a "poof": "The prince spares his life, his subordinates don't know about it at all, this must be done by the heads below, this crime deserves death!" ”

"What did you do?" Zhao Ta's face turned cold and looked at him: "Is it a crime that deserves death, if it is wartime, it is a big crime of the Nine Clans!" ”

"The prince spares his life!" Commander Zhu's cold sweat broke out instantly, this was a matter of truth, and he couldn't think of anything else except begging for mercy.

There are a lot of people standing on the third floor at the moment, in addition to Su Shi, Huang Gu, Lu Zhishen, Hong Qi was also called by Zhao Ta, and there are more than a dozen people, these dozen people are either holding or carrying a knife, all carrying guns and sticks, and there is also a woman in white.

The woman in white was covered with light veil, her eyebrows and eyes were cold, her figure was extremely slender, and her jade hand held a long sword upside down, as if she stood out from the crowd.

Zhao Ta looked at Commander Zhu and said, "This king doesn't want to listen to lies. ”

Commander Zhu wanted to cry without tears, so he had to come to bribe all the heads of the 1510 generals, and he wanted to open a fighting field for the Seven Stars Society at midnight.

After listening to this, Zhao Ta stroked the wine glass and said, "How much did you collect?" ”

Zhu commanded: "One ...... One thousand taels. ”

Zhao Ta nodded: "Do you have a family?" ”

Commander Zhu put his hands on the ground and said tremblingly: "There are old mothers, wives and children under him. ”

Zhao Ta thought for a while: "If I kill you, my mother will have no one to support, and my children will have no one to take care of, which is considered an evil thing." ”

Commander Zhu almost cried when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The prince is pitiful, spare his subordinates this experience, and his subordinates are willing to repay the prince by being cattle and horses." ”

Zhao Ta said: "I don't want to do evil things, and I don't want to lose military discipline, why don't I kill them all, let the old mother, wife and children go with you, and save you from worrying about the afterlife, is this good?" ”

Commander Zhu's face turned pale when he heard this, and his throat rolled a few times, and he rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.

On the side, Lu Zhishen said: "This Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is too useless, how can you faint when you are scared?" ”

Zhao Ta looked at Lu Zhishen and said, "Zhishen, you can also see, how does this Tokyo Forbidden Army compare with the Western Army?" ”

Lu Zhishen said: "It's not that I boast about Haikou in front of the prince, if they are all like this person who is afraid of death, the Western Army may be able to fight one against five!" ”

"The Wuna monk is not boasting about Haikou, how can he fight on the battlefield compared to the rivers and lakes, how can an ordinary sergeant fight with one enemy and five?" At this time, someone spoke, but it was a good man in the broken jade building, calling Ouyang Bei as a gust of wind.

Lu Zhishen glanced at Ouyang Bei and said, "Look at your appearance, you haven't been in the army, and the Sprinkle family is too lazy to argue with you!" ”

Ouyang Bei was a man with a scorched face, but he was not annoyed when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have been in the army, but why did you become a monk." ”

Lu Zhishen said: "What are you doing? The Sprinkle family was originally an envoy to the Kansai Five Roads under the old breed of Jinglu Xianggong, so why don't you know the military! ”

Ouyang Bei was stunned, he didn't know these official names, but he just kept silent when they sounded very big.

Huang Gu said: "But I have heard of this kind of official name, but it is only a certain way, and it is designated by the official, where does the five roads come from?" ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and said: "Zhishen is not a liar, but you don't know this, he, the five-way incorruptible envoy, is a temporary official position in the Western Army, not fixed, unlike the court, the old breed has the right to put this kind of official affairs." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and secretly said in their hearts that the old seed is very powerful!

At this time, the downstairs was already lively, and I saw that people began to enter the streets on both sides, all of them were holding guns and sticks, with fierce faces, wearing black clothes, and the cuffs were embroidered with the sign of seven stars.

Zhao Ta looked at it slightly, and said, "Yes, there are hundreds of people, can the people in the building below withstand it?" ”

Su Shi said: "Little Xianggong, why don't you use people in the army?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "The rivers and lakes are in trouble, and you have to abide by the rules here in the broken jade building, naturally, it is not too late to fight and no longer abide by the rules." ”

Huang Gu said: "If it is those rabble, as long as they don't use the next three indiscriminate means, they should be able to resist, but the Seven Stars will have seven people on the bright side, if all seven people are present, I am afraid that this building will not be guaranteed tonight." ”

"Oh...... What are the skills of those seven? Zhao Taqi said.

"They are all first-class players, but they have their own means." Huang Gudao.

Zhao Ta pondered for a few breaths: "In addition to the people sent to other places in the building, how many people can fight?" ”

Huang Gu said: "There are more than a hundred people below, but they are not comparable to those congregations of the Seven Star Society. ”

Zhao Ta nodded: "Isn't this just one enemy and five, Su Yi and Hong Qi stay, everyone else goes downstairs to fight, you don't have to keep your hands, bite them and it hurts, and you will have a long memory next time!" ”

Then Zhao Ta said to Lu Zhishen: "Zhishen, you were born in the Western Army, although it is a battle in the rivers and lakes at the moment, don't fall into the reputation of the Western Army, if you win, you will have wine to eat, and if you lose, you will eat the board!" ”

Lu Zhishen said: "Don't worry, Zhishen's wine is ready!" ”

Zhao Ta smiled, watching the people upstairs rushing down, his face gradually became solemn, he called Hong Qi's window to watch the battle, and then said to the woman in white who did not go downstairs: "Suyi, how is the investigation?" ”

In the early years, the ancestors failed to quell the rebellion in the south, which affected their families, and they have been in exile since then, but they also worshipped famous teachers and learned a good martial arts.

Hearing Zhao Ta's inquiry at this moment, Jian Suyi said: "Childe, it's found out, it's Ghost Fan Lou!" ”
