When I went out of the pavilion, I saw the Fan Lou thugs in front of me flashing out of the road, and dozens of soldiers came from the middle.

The leader of these soldiers was a thin middle-aged man, with a gloomy appearance, a cold face, and a bit of a hawkish look.

Seeing this person around, he couldn't help but smile, he recognized that the person who came was Wu Yiqian, the left attendant of the military department.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, he was about to come over and break into the pavilion, and immediately shouted: "Slow!" ”

Wu Yiqian's footsteps were only slightly paused, snorted coldly, and continued to move forward.

As the left squire of the military department, he is a proper purple-robed minister, where would he listen to the words of a guard.

After walking a few more steps, Wu Yiqian spoke: "Catch them all!" ”

When the soldiers behind him heard this, they were about to step forward, and Zhou sneered: "Line up!" ”

Immediately, the ten guards, including him, all took out their crossbows, and then lined up in two rows, five in the front and five in the back, with the crossbow arrows in their hands pointing forward.

Wu Yiqian stopped in an instant, his face was extremely ugly.

He was shocked in his heart, it turned out to be crossbow arrows, how could these guards have crossbow arrows?

You must know that crossbow arrows are only available in the army, and private possession by the people is a capital crime, even more serious than hiding armor at home.

The forbidden crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty has reached the point of outrageousness, for no other reason, the crossbow arrow is the only dominant thing against the Liao army, once this kind of thing spreads out, it is broken by the enemy country, there is a risk of losing the country!

"You ......" Wu Yiqian took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty, no longer half of the commanding force just now.

He looked at the crossbow arrows in the other party's hand, there was no mistake, they were all standard hand crossbows, they looked very new, and it was unlikely that they would be circulated outside, even if they were really circulated, they would never appear so many at one time.

Since it is not circulated, it is a normal distribution, but even if it is normally distributed, it cannot be taken out of the army at will, and ordinary forbidden soldiers are absolutely not allowed to carry crossbows when they leave the barracks to walk outside!

But obviously, these people in front of them are not performing any military duties, nor are they in the barracks, so why are they carrying crossbow arrows?

The more Wu Yiqian thought about it, the more empty he felt in his heart, judging from the posture of these people, it must be a forbidden army, but the problem is that listening to the description of the son of the Tang Shangshu family, these guards should not be in the army!

Zhou said with a smile at this time: "Wu Shilang, please don't move, the villains are no better than those horse infantry soldiers outside the city, and they don't practice this kind of thing on weekdays, in case they shoot out unsteadily, Wu Shilang can't blame!" ”

Wu Yiqian couldn't help but have fine beads of sweat on his forehead when he heard this, as a soldier of the military department, he was naturally familiar with crossbow arrows, this crossbow is not as good as a bow, the bow is drawn every time he shoots, but the crossbow can be loaded in advance, but sometimes there will be some problems when this is installed in advance, that is, sliding arrows.

It was not to pull the machine, and the arrow shot out by itself, although this situation rarely happens, but there is indeed one, just last year, the crossbow battalion of the Tianwu Army happened once, it was a drill, and as a result, a crossbow slid arrow at close range, directly penetrated two people, one dead and one wounded.

He looked around, coughed lightly, tried his best to make a light look, and said, "Do you recognize this official?" ”

He didn't wear an official uniform, so the other party could recognize him, obviously it couldn't be a bandit in the mountains outside, it could only be a man in the army.

But it seems to be extremely rare for people in the army to recognize him without wearing official uniforms.

In fact, the military department did not care about the army in this dynasty, although it occasionally went to the barracks, but most of them were on paper, and there were not many opportunities to face the forbidden army.

That's why he wondered how the other party could recognize him at a glance.

Zhou said: "I naturally know Lord Shilang, but it is impossible for adults to remember me." ”

Wu Yiqian looked at him silently.

Zhou Chu smiled and said: "When Lord Shilang was transferred back to Gyeonggi from Hedong Road, I met adults, and at that time, adults were high-spirited and enviable. ”

Wu Yiqian changed color slightly when he heard this, he was transferred back to the capital thirteen years ago, could it be that this guard was in the army at that time? But this is not right, at that time, his official position was not high, only a fifth grade, how could he be noticed by a soldier?

Wu Yiqian tried his best to keep his voice soothed, without showing any joy or anger: "Who are you?" Pavilion ...... Who's there? ”

He asked very cautiously, to be able to sit in the position of a squire, not just have a background and money, but also have to be able to perceive everywhere and adapt to changes, otherwise wouldn't the stupid son of the prime minister's family be the prime minister?

He already felt a hint of something bad in his heart, even if the other party was just a few guards, but he was so calm that it was impossible for him not to have doubts in his heart.

"Wu Shilang, I want to know who my master is, you can see when you go in, but these people can't come!" Zhou said and nodded with his chin to the soldiers in front of him.

Wu Yiqian thought for a few breaths when he heard this, then said "Okay", and ordered behind him: "Don't come with you, otherwise military law will be engaged!" ”

Those government soldiers are actually the establishment of the Xiang Army, and their daily management is lax, but they are not fools, and they have already seen that the situation in front of them is not quite right, and immediately said "yes" when they heard the words, not only stopped, but also retreated a few feet.

Zhou Chu smiled: "Wu Shilang, please come over!" ”

Wu Yiqian walked forward when he heard this, and at this time, he saw that among those soldiers, there was a very eye-catching figure with hairpins on his head, and when he saw it carefully, it was a famous brocade robe, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, and shouted: "You, you come over too!" ”

The brocade robe boy with the hairpin is none other than the Tang prince in the pavilion over there, he went to Wu Shilang's mansion to move troops, and after coming over, he wanted to level this place directly, but he didn't expect the situation to be much more than he expected, and the other party actually held crossbow arrows.

He is not one of the thugs in Fan Lou who doesn't have much knowledge, so he naturally knows what the crossbow arrow represents, and he secretly screams in his heart, and then sees Wu Shilang being suppressed again, so he wants to sneak away in the government soldiers, but he didn't expect to be seen by Zhou.

"If you don't come back, I'll shoot an arrow!" Zhou said and aimed his crossbow at him.

This suddenly frightened those government soldiers to hide on both sides, and instantly exposed this Tang Gongzi in the middle.

Tang Gongzi twitched his cheeks, forced out a smile, and said, "Good Han Mo shoot, I'll come over." ”

As he spoke, he slowly stepped forward and followed Wu Yiqian into the pavilion, and then Zhou also followed.

Wu Yiqian entered the pavilion, looked at the back of the flower case, and met Zhao Ta's gaze, and his face turned white with a "swish".

"Ah...... "How is it possible, how is this possible, how can it be this!"

He didn't expect this in front of the pavilion just now, but then he denied it, because this person has always lived in a simple place, and basically doesn't go to a place like the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, what's wrong today?!

This is really a dead official!

His face turned pale, and he hurriedly took two steps forward, and said, "Qi ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Zhao Tan: "Lord Wu, my son listened to the noise outside, did you bring someone to arrest me?" ”

Ahh Wu Yiqian was panicked and frightened at the moment, he glared fiercely at Tang Gongzi who was full of confusion next to him, wiped the cold sweat on his head, bowed down and said, "That, it's not...... I, Xiaguan ......"

Zhao Ta said coldly: "What's not it? Did I hear it wrong, or did the guards outside see it wrong, you brought troops here to surround the door of Bengongzi's Pavilion, could it be that you want to ......"

Wu Yiqian trembled when he heard this, what did he think? He doesn't want anything, he's here to find his son, doesn't he still want to rebel?

When I thought of the word rebellion, I couldn't help but kneel down as soon as my knees weakened.

At this time, Zhou Zhi stepped forward and directly supported Wu Yiqian's waist, so that he did not kneel, and said, "Lord Wu, be cautious in your words and deeds!" ”

Wu Yiqian only felt weak, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes......"

Zhao Ta said: "Lord Wu led troops to block the door of this son's house, what a great official authority!" ”

Wu Yiqian only felt his heart tremble when he heard this: "Son, the lower official, the lower official didn't, the lower official came over, he wanted to ......."

Zhao Ta snorted coldly: "What do you want?" Get out there and stand! ”

Wu Yiqian was flustered, and hurriedly said: "Go to the next official, go immediately." As he spoke, he walked to the wall with a blank face.

Seeing Wu Yiqian going over, he raised his leg and kicked Tang Gongzi's buttocks, "You also roll over"!

Tang Gongzi seemed to have a mess in his mind at this time, where could he still distinguish the situation in front of him, and followed him with fear.

When the women in the pavilion saw that these two people also went to stand by the wall, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and the room was silent for a while.
