Chapter 100: The Seal of the Dragon

Hearing the movement outside, Tang Zixi didn't even dare to come out, and looked through the gaps in the hay, only to see a large group of soldiers in bright armor standing not far from her, just looking at their spirits, she knew that these were not ordinary officers and soldiers, I was afraid that it was really the forbidden army coming.

The group of soldiers did not continue to run forward, but stood in place as if waiting for something.

Soon, an unusually tall man walked out from behind, with well-defined facial features and sharp eyes, and his aura was extremely powerful, and as soon as Fang appeared, the air around him suddenly tightened.

Tang Zixi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he saw the other party's face, and found that he had underestimated the seriousness of the matter.

Because the person who came was none other than Jing Mingyu, the commander of Jin Wuwei. This rarely appeared in front of people, and most of the time he stayed by the emperor's side, and won the emperor's trust. It can be said that even the most favored concubine today is not up to his position in the emperor's heart. Now that he actually appeared outside the palace in person, or in the minister's house, it can be seen that the matter is not trivial.

Jing Mingyu was still expressionless, her eyes as sharp as an eagle's falcon, and she just glanced casually at the haystack where Tang Zixi was hiding, and she almost screamed in fright. Fortunately, his gaze did not linger long, and then fell elsewhere.

A leader stepped forward immediately, whispered a few words in his ear, and then handed over what he was holding.

Because it was late at this time, and it was back to the light, he couldn't see it clearly, Tang Zixi could only vaguely judge that it was a palm-sized brocade box. Almost instantly, she remembered the big burden that the little maid had dropped before, and secretly thought in her heart that most of it was accidentally dropped by the fall.

Jing Mingyu opened the brocade box, snorted after just one glance, threw it aside, and said, "Everyone obeys the order, you must catch that assassin, whether you live or die!"

"Yes!" the soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the hay and making them the most elite army in Luoyang City.

Tang Zixi's heart jumped when he heard it, he was actually catching assassins. Then I thought, could it be that the emperor was also here, but fortunately, he didn't come to arrest her, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

After making sure everyone was gone, she carefully lifted the haystack and crawled out.

"As I expected!"

Who knew that she had just shown her head, and she felt a large shadow pressing over, and Jing Mingyu's figure appeared in her sight again.

Tang Zixi was taken aback, and reflexively retracted her head, but accidentally bumped into a hard thing, and before she could react, she felt a slight pain in her shoulder, and then a woman's voice as thin as a glove came into her ears: "You have been hit by my poisonous needle, if you want an antidote, do as I say......"

Tang Zixi froze in place suddenly, neither going out nor going back, just stuck there in a strange posture, looking extremely funny.

But at this time, she couldn't laugh at all, she simply turned her heart sideways, gritted her teeth and jumped out of the haystack directly, and respectfully saluted Jing Mingyu and said, "My niece has seen Uncle Jing in the past!"

She was also forced to be helpless in this move, rather than being arrested as an assassin for some reason, it was better to quickly be cheeky and climb the relationship first. Although she had never dealt with the other party, the scene of Jing Mingyu's secret conversation with Tang Mingru late at night was deeply imprinted in her mind, thinking in her heart that the other party would also let herself go for Tang Mingru's sake. As for the woman who injured her with a needle, she was not worried, and the martial arts of a person who could use poisoning was not high, and she would find a way to deal with it after the other party was caught by Jing Mingyu.

Sure enough, Jing Mingyu didn't seem to expect that it was Tang Zixi who was hiding inside, and immediately his eyes flashed, and he said, "What are you hiding inside?"

Tang Zixi had already thought of his words, and he didn't think much about it, so he opened his mouth and said: "That's the case, my niece accidentally lost the hairpin given by Concubine Shu, and she is looking around." She deliberately accentuated the word 'Shufei', aiming to remind the other party that she had a very good relationship with Shufei Niangniang, and at the same time prove her identity.

Jing Mingyu glanced at the haystack intentionally or unintentionally, and said lightly: "No wonder the hairpin will run into the haystack with long legs on his own, it turned out to be given by his mother." After saying that, he glanced to the side.

Tang Zixi was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his feet began to move slowly, but his mouth cooperated: "That's why my niece is in a hurry, if she loses it, how to explain it to her mother!"

Jing Mingyu said, "I really should explain!" After speaking, his hand moved slightly, and a stone shot out from his fingertips, and the target was a haystack not far away.

Tang Zixi also rolled to the side and hid behind an abandoned old manger.

I only heard a muffled snort, and the stone hit the target directly, and a voice like a broken gong said loudly: "Lao Tzu is fed up, let's go out and fight with him together!"

"Bang-"

The haystack exploded straight open, revealing the people hiding inside.

Tang Zixi counted them, and there were actually as many as seven, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, he didn't expect that he was hiding with so many people before. Immediately after remembering the woman's voice from before, his eyes began to search the crowd, and soon locked on to the only woman among them.

It was a slender woman in a green shirt, although her face was sallow and her hair was gray, her temperament was extremely good, and she was even more beautiful when she stood in the middle of a group of gray-faced rough old men. Tang Zixi only glanced at it and judged that the other party must be easy to pass.

As soon as a few people appeared, they surrounded Jing Mingyu, their weapons were very strange, except for the young man who was holding a long sword, the others were either sickles or shovels, and the bearded man simply carried a hoe. This looks like an assassin who assassinated the emperor, but like a peasant who worked in the fields.

Only the woman in the green shirt did not move, protecting the boy and standing by the haystack, holding a strangely shaped shovel in her hand. As soon as Tang Zixi saw this weapon, he immediately remembered the bones he had seen in the tomb of King Anyang. She remembered that Li Ling suddenly went crazy when she saw this shovel, and directly destroyed those bones to shreds.

Jing Mingyu seemed to have expected it, turned over his hand and took out a pair of black gloves and put them on, and then his body moved slightly and was already fighting with the group of people.

The weapons of those people are strange, and their martial arts are also strange. The attacking position is tricky and odd, and it may seem unorganized, but it is overwhelming.

Tang Zixi was amazed, but he didn't expect that farm tools could also be used as weapons. Most of the flowers and plants in her yard were planted by herself, so it was not surprising that she could recognize these things. It's just that the farm tools in the hands of these people don't seem to be the same as the ones she used before, and she can't say what the difference is.

Although these people have strange martial arts and tacit cooperation, Jing Mingyu is not an idle person, otherwise he would not be able to get such trust from the emperor. However, after a few breaths, those people only had the ability to parry, and they had no power to fight back. If it weren't for the innate divine power of the bearded man carrying the hoe, who resisted most of his attacks, whether these people could stand or not was a matter of two words.

However, it seems that the bearded man can't last long, and after such a short half of his effort, his body is already covered with the scars from Jing Mingyu's fist, and he is relying on a breath to hold on.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from the Praetorian Army, which had been sent to capture the Assassins. Seeing the scene of the fight, they took out their blades one by one and were about to join.

"Don't move anyone!" Jing Mingyu said in a deep voice.

The forbidden army really stopped, but they just dispersed into a large circle, surrounding the entire courtyard.

Seeing this, the woman in the green shirt frowned, turned her head sideways and whispered a few words in the young man's ear, and then moved her body to join the battle group: "You go to protect the young master, and if you find an opportunity, you will leave first!"

When Jing Mingyu saw that the woman finally made a move, a strange smile appeared on her face: "Sure enough, it's you!"

The martial arts of the green-shirted woman were too much higher than those people, and as soon as Fang made a move, she forced Jing Mingyu to take a few steps back. Several others also took the opportunity to jump out of the battle group and protect the boy in the middle.

But unfortunately, her strength only lasted a little longer than those people. When Jing Mingyu smashed the shovel in her hand into an arc, her face finally changed.

"Qing Right Envoy!" Seeing this, the bearded man was in a hurry, and pounced without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, his body moved, and an arrow suddenly flew out from the side, hitting him in the chest, and at the same time a voice shouted: "My lord has an order, and those who trespass will die!"

The bearded man's eyes widened in anger, and he looked at the tail of the arrow in his chest in disbelief, and his body shook twice before falling heavily. It just so happened that when he fell, his head hit the old manger and his brain burst on the spot.

If Tang Zixi hadn't seen the situation badly, he would have flashed to the side a long time ago, even if he wasn't stunned, he would have been scared half to death by that scene. However, this tragic scene still brought her a strong sense of discomfort, and she covered her mouth and retched.

"Hall Master Nie!" The woman in the green shirt let out a sad cry, suddenly turned her head to look at Jing Mingyu, and said word by word, "If you want to get the Pan Dragon Seal, let them go!"

Jing Mingyu also waved his hand directly, and the forbidden army immediately made way of a passage.

The rest of the people also recovered from the tragic death of the bearded man, looked at the woman in the green shirt, and silently escorted the young man out. At the moment when they stepped out of the encirclement, a scene that everyone did not expect appeared.

The young man suddenly jumped up high, pointed the long sword in his hand at Jing Mingyu's front door, and shouted: "Traitor, take your life!"

The woman in the green shirt was shocked when she saw this, and said sharply: "Xu'er, stand down!"

"I can't help myself!" Jing Mingyu didn't even raise his eyelids, he stretched out two fingers and grabbed the sword body, with a slight force, with a crisp sound of 'Zheng', a shovel made of stainless steel was actually broken into two, and then with a casual throw, the half-cut short sword pierced into the young man's chest with a pop, and then slapped a palm on the young man's chest and shook him out.

All this happened in the flash of light, Tang Zixi just saw the young man flying towards Jing Mingyu, and then he felt something smashing towards her, so frightened that she turned her head and ran.
