Chapter 21 The streets of the Imperial City are in turmoil
In the imperial city embassy, a few maids hurriedly took care of the things to be done for the day, swept the fallen grass and leaves in the morning, and a few maids and servants still looked into the distance, so they talked, and ate the melon seeds in their hands. Not everyone was very busy, and a few of the servants of the individual households had already stopped their busyness and looked at the man's martial arts practice in the courtyard.
Nan Huaijin was practicing her sword, and Chengying turned into a ball of flame light and shadow in her hand, and she disappeared, almost no sword body, just wielding the hilt of the sword, but the surrounding branches and treetops were cut off, and they slowly fell to the ground, splashing a little bit of broken petals.
"Senior sister, let's go down the mountain, but what are we here for?" Zhu Qiu held a tea tray and took a cup of tea, which was to quench Nan Huaijin's thirst, she waited for Nan Huaijin to finish practicing the sword, and stepped forward to say.
"Of course, I listened to my master's words and came to help my brother solve the case. Nan Huaijin put away his two swords and put them into the two scabbards around his waist.
"But I don't see my senior brother today, if I really sent a letter up the mountain to ask for help from my fellow disciples on the mountain, why didn't I discuss it with my senior sister?
Nan Huaijin drank tea, blew away the heat on the tea, took a sip, felt cold, and ate it in one bite, "Maybe he has something to do, Eighth Senior Brother, I am also the first time to see a real person, in the past, Senior Brothers and Sisters They said that he was a very careful person, I think there is something to delay, otherwise I will come to see me." โ
After all, He Xiao is a big official of the First Division, and the Imperial City Division is in charge of the divisions inside and outside the Imperial City, not to mention the safety of the emperor, but also to grasp the movements inside and outside the Imperial City, and even said that some people in the Imperial City Division are disguised as people in the rivers and lakes, and the news in the daily newspaper needs to be seen for a long time.
Quan Shou and Wu Changfeng were gambling on silver money, but after a while, Quan Shou lost three times in a row, lost two copper coins, Quan Shou was angry, and shouted to come again.
Until the night became colder, He Xiao did not return to the house, but in the evening, there were more soldiers in the imperial city's palace, Nan Huaijin asked Zhuqiu to ask a few young generals, and learned the news that He Xiao had returned to the imperial city division, and he was indeed relieved.
In the ordinary time of Huangcheng Street, there are also people who are on the watch, beating the gong and shouting: "The weather is dry and dry, be careful of the fire candles." โ
The old man's voice was loud, and the whole long street could be heard by people who had not yet fallen asleep, and today he was a little thirsty, and after roaring no more than twenty times, he had a cough in his throat, and the old man rubbed his throat, and a mouthful of thick phlegm was pregnant in his throat, and he was about to cough it out.
A silver light flashed in front of his eyes, and the gong cylinder of the watch fell to the ground with a loud sound, and the old man held his throat, and the blood splashed on a large green wall like water coming out of a spring, and the anger was gone, and the man fell on the road and died. One after another, the black shadows held the snow-bright Pu knife, bypassed the dead people, and rushed in the direction of the imperial city.
The soldiers of the array stood solemnly, the hundreds of members of the Imperial City Division held a copper hammer and a knife, and there were more than a dozen young generals holding iron guns, wearing iron armor, and wearing a square official hat, led by the small general Fang Cong Cong led the head of the horse back and forth and looked at the black-clothed people who came out of the street, they had already prepared, Fang Cong regretted and shouted: "Sons, kill!"
The people of the Imperial City Division rushed head-on, and the people in black did not retreat, they were all dead soldiers raised by people, and their master ordered them to kill a person.
In front of the spear of the little general on the horse, the abdomen was penetrated, and blood flowed from the face of the dead man's scarf, and the whole person flew out three feet away, and fell to the ground without a sound.
The young generals and the dead soldiers were killed together, and the dead soldiers killed one person in two or three, even if they were wearing iron clothes, it was inevitable that the knife would fall to their necks, and a piece of blood would splash up. The young generals slashed hard, the copper hammer and steel knife in their hands sank vigorously, and when the hammer fell, the chest of the dead man shook, and the whole person fell to the ground in shock, coughing up blood, and the next moment the copper hammer fell on the top of the person's head, and the person died after a hammer.
Hundreds of people fought in one place on the streets, on both sides of the royal street, in the courtyards and private hotels, and some of the guards and servants hid and watched in secret, trembling to see what was going on.
Some shopkeepers were still grabbing their servants, pressing them to the dark, and said silently: "This is someone who wants to turn the sky upside down, and actually fights with the imperial city guards in the palace on the street, and I don't know who it is." โ
A knife slashed on the horse, the horse was frightened after all, an imperial city division was grabbed by the arm of the man in black and dragged off the horse's back, just landed, the silver light danced wildly, the young general of the imperial city division howled non-stop, and was chopped into meat paste alive by the dead soldiers.

There were many more people in black, and at this time the ground was already full of corpses, and there were two dead bodies of the Imperial City soldiers lying in front of Zhang Tuhu's house on the street.
There are too many people in black, a breath of air shot from afar, it is a blackened arrow, only the arrow has a cold light, running through the man in black, the man snorted and flew out upside down, several people in black looked at the past, the soldiers of the brigade shook the iron clothes on their bodies and held a longbow, carrying the arrow basket, for a time the streets and alleys were all iron-clad sounds, after all, the dead soldiers are people, even if they are not afraid of death, at this moment there are six gods and no masters, three souls and seven spirits are going to disperse, a column of soldiers bent their bows and arrows in front of the half-kneeling ground, and behind them is a column of people with straight waists, and the bows in their hands bend out arcsใ
The forbidden army was outnumbered, for a while, the whole situation was reversed, the people of the Imperial City Division also helped their own little general to fight out a bloody road, the people in black also knew that things had changed, turned their heads and rushed towards the city, the forbidden army continued to release arrows, only a moment of effort, they shot more than 20 people, some people did not die, the forbidden army stepped forward to make up the knife one by one.
"Chase!" the two forbidden soldiers who commanded the army shouted in unison, and the forbidden soldiers who led the large group stepped forward with blades in hand and chased after the man in black.

A soldier on the edge of the house hurriedly ran into the house, the steel knife was split into many holes, squeezed away the soldiers around him, and fell to the ground.
"Greetings...... Tell your lordship," the soldier got up, looked at Zheqiu and spoke: "The Imperial City Mansion is besieged, and the brothers are guarding the gate, I'm afraid it won't last long." โ
Zhe Qiu's face sank, the sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the louder the fighting outside, the more chaotic the thoughts in his heart became, and he lowered his head and shouted: "The good son of the Imperial City Division! Kill the rebellion with me!"
"Swear to defend the Imperial City Division to the death!"
"Kill all the traitors!"
"Protect your lordship!"
......
For a while, the young generals in the hall were clamoring, pulling out their swords and swords, and the soldiers under the hall were also carrying copper hammers and iron guns, shouting, Zheqiu walked in front, and the tiger and wolf division of the Imperial City Division followed behind him, these teams are the confidence of the Imperial City Division, each of the little generals is tall and mighty, with a tiger on his back and a bear's waist, and a sword and a knife can kill a big wolf.
The soldiers of the Imperial City Division outside the door have already died, the man in black is fighting with the forbidden army who caught up, the forbidden soldiers are overwhelming, and there is one of them who heard about it, and led the men and horses to kill them, they are equipped with standard longbows and arrows, and the armor and blades are also excellent, stationed outside the imperial city, this moment everyone is fighting to the death The black-clothed dead soldiers are determined to suffer great losses, at this time, Zheqiu took the elite of the Imperial City Division to kill from the inside out, Zheqiu martial arts are outstanding, for a while, the dead soldiers who practiced martial arts can not resist, more than a dozen dead soldiers were killed by the sword in his hand, and a dead man was stabbed in the throat according to his face, his face was like earth, his throat was broken, and a blood flower was splashed, and he fell to the ground and diedใ
"Zheqiu! you are looking for death!" shouted the leader of the dead soldiers, dancing with a steel knife in his hand and slashing down at Zheqiu's back, Zheqiu inertia fell, the long sword fell on the back, and he took the knife hard, the blade was strong and heavy, he rolled on the ground, his body was agitated with the true qi of the body, and he turned around and slashed at the abdomen of the man, the head of the dead man was also a good hand, and the true qi was transported to the knife, and the two of them hit hard, Zheqiu's whole person was vacated, and he landed lightly, and the head of the dead man unloaded the upward force with a somersault.
One back and forth is a round, and before it stops, the two of them kill together, and the sword of Zheqiu and the steel knife are all broken, and the battle of life and death has no chance to stop for half a moment.
The forbidden army also suffered a lot of casualties, and fell to the ground horizontally, but there were many more people than the dead, and the elite of the Imperial City Division was also fierce, but more than a dozen people died, and more than 20 dead soldiers who were not afraid of life and death were killed, and a black-clothed corpse floated up in the two lotus ponds, and the black-clothed leader forced back the grappling of Zheqiu with a knife, and looked back, there was not much left of the dead soldiers under his hand, he had a trace of chill in his eyes, and did not think about anything else, stepped on the stone slab, the bluestone slab under his feet cracked, and the whole person jumped three zhang high, like a flying swallow, and then stepped on the eaves, and the whole person flew out, the process was just in the blink of an eye, Zheqiu frowned, and looked at the remaining dead soldiers, sure enough, they all committed suicide with their knives, only two of them didn't have time to commit suicide, they were beaten off their blades, let go of their jaws, and captured.
"Drag it down and torture it carefully, save your life, and wait for the imperial city to make the lord fall. Zhe Qiu said, bowing his hand to the three forbidden armies.
The three forbidden armies also bowed their hands, and Zheqiu said: "If it weren't for the three generals leading their subordinates to arrive, my Imperial City Division would have made a joke today, and someone could actually kill us in this mansion and spread it, I don't know what the world will think, well, this official has thanked me here." Your subordinates are dead and wounded, and tomorrow, the official will meet with the officials' families, and the three martyrs. โ
The three commanders just glanced at each other, and one of them hurriedly bowed down and said happily: "Thank you for the help of the deputy envoy, the subordinates will go down first to inquire about the injuries of their subordinates, so many dead and wounded, the gold and silver pensions still have to be arranged, so I will retire." โ
Zheqiu nodded, and watched the three of them all go down with people, but it is true that many soldiers of the forbidden army died, and there were several fragmentary corpses lying at the door, and the armor on their bodies was scattered to the ground.
There was no time to stay and rest for a while, so Zheqiu asked people to bring horses, led more than 20 people to hurry to the horse army, left some people, and led the way to the place of the imperial city embassy.
