The night is a little late, and in Chang'an City, every family is closed, and the city is in chaos. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Countless soldiers ran around, their footsteps were chaotic, and from time to time, there were small officials such as judges, inspectors, and magistrates who managed various neighborhoods struck gongs and shouted loudly: "The Son of Heaven has ordered that all houses should be closed and closed at will, and they must not enter and leave at will.
From time to time, someone's house was broken into, and the whole family, whether men, women, or children, was dragged out of the house, and some soldiers read it out loud: "The Decree of the Son of Heaven: So-and-so, enter Beijing without an order, storm the palace ban, conspire to kill the Son of Heaven, the crime is unforgivable, and the clan will be exterminated according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty!
There are many differences between the architecture of Chang'an City and the Ming Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and Chang'an as the capital is also very different from Beijing.
As soon as Ding walked somewhere, he heard a cry that shook the sky, and there were all high-ranking families in the vicinity, and he didn't know that it was the residence of the generals under Li Shimin.
Walking around a corner, several people fought in front of them, more than ten soldiers besieged a girl, the girl was fourteen or fifteen years old, her body had not yet grown, her face was pretty, she was dressed in a moth yellow short shirt, her cheeks were flushed, there were many tears on her face, she bit her lips tightly, and held a pair of short swords, like two blue lights around her, flashing and leaping, constantly hurrying, and stabbing down a person from time to time.
The soldiers shouted while fighting: "Come on, come on, there are remnants of waiting here!"
The girl was graceful, stabbed the two of them again, and jumped towards the wall of the courtyard beside her, and just stood on the wall, several feathered arrows shot out of the wall, and there were soldiers in them to intercept them.
The girl hurriedly turned around and dodged, fell back to the road, did not dare to fight, flashed her double swords, strode forward, and when she saw Ding Yi, she shouted coldly: "Get out!"
As soon as Ding saw the cold light coming from the stab, he didn't avoid it, and grabbed it straight to the sword with both hands, although this girl's martial arts were high, it was a little far away from his own gap, and he hadn't put it in his eyes yet.
The girl's body is convenient, she was more than ten steps away when she snorted, and when she finished speaking, she had already arrived in front of Ding Yi, her double swords were as fast as lightning, stabbing her throat and stabbing her chest, and her methods were ruthless.
Ding Yi sneered, came in with both hands, pinched the spine of the sword, his fingers intertwined, and the two swords snapped and broke into two.
Ding Yi's hand did not retract, and when she turned her wrist, the girl did not have time to react, her eyes were dark, and the double swords had been inserted into her eyes, straight through her brain, and the girl did not say a word, and fell to the ground.
The soldiers who chased after him didn't expect the battle to end so quickly, they were stabbed down seven or eight people just now, and almost let the girl run, seeing Ding Yi, who was covered in blood and dressed as a general of the forbidden army, hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the general!"
Ding Yi snorted and asked, "Who is this woman?"
"Your Excellency General, this woman is the daughter of Hou Junji, who killed more than ten brothers in our army and almost let him escape. "The soldiers are all members of the pro-crown prince's family, including the brothers of the sixth rate of the East Palace and the twelfth guard, and the part that has always been at odds with the prince is assigned to the military camp outside the city, and they are not allowed to move without permission, and after the rebels in the city are searched and killed, they will be screened and purged.
"Okay, got it, let's get busy!" Ding Yi waved his hand, killing the girl was a convenient one, and he turned around and entered the mansion by the roadside.
As soon as Ding disappeared, the more than ten soldiers cut off the girl's head and returned to the team to repay the merit.
The killing was still going on in the compound, Ding Yi went to the inner room by himself, rummaged through it, chose a men's dress with a similar figure from the inside out, wrapped it up, and walked out again in a pool of crying and blood around, as if he was taking a walk, leisurely, and the soldiers in the house were busy with their own things, and they all bowed their heads and saluted when they passed by him: "General!"
Along the way, he heard various movements in the surrounding houses from time to time, and his internal strength was too strong to hear clearly even if he didn't want to hear.
'It's been a few days since it was settled, so what's going on?'
'Don't make a sound, lady, you hide in the cave, and I'll tell you to come out again tomorrow!'
'Hide what you eat!'
"It's all soldiers outside, let's take a look tomorrow, let's hide in the countryside!"
'Don't cry, there's a wolf outside, and wolves eat crying children!'
'Sleep, don't be afraid when you fall asleep!'
These people didn't know what was going on, and when they heard the shouts of the soldiers on the street, they were still dizzy, and they had only one thought, and the chaos arose again, and each used his own methods to deal with the chaos, so he knew that he was hiding food to hide from his wife and children and go out of the city.
Ding Yi is not a person who loves to kill, the Ming Dynasty is a dynasty with extremely distorted Chinese culture, where the traitors and thieves are severely punished, Ding Yi's growth period, affected by the atmosphere, educated by Jinyiwei, believes that the rebellious ministers and thieves and their families can only be eliminated, what he did is right.
Before taking power, Li Shimin was rebellious, and Ding Yi naturally wanted to stand on the side of the Son of Heaven, but today he killed too much, and Ding Yi was very tired from spirit to body.
After walking a short distance, he saw a river, Ding Yi jumped down, he wanted to wash away the filth and purify his body and mind.
Eight rivers around Chang'an, Ding Yi is not familiar with Chang'an, this river does not know which one of the eight waters, the water flow is turbulent but clear and confusing.
Ding Yi ripped off the clothes that had been soaked in blood a long time ago, let them float away with the current, and a fierce man pierced to the bottom of the water, grasping the bottom of the river with his feet, the fine sand at the bottom of the river touched the footboard, it felt good, and he stood firm and did not waver.
The water of the waves is clear and can wet me, and the water of the waves is turbid and can wet my feet.
It's very dark under the water, you can't see your fingers, Ding Yi likes the feeling of being under the water, cool, very refreshing, he tore his hair and washed it under the water.
With the movement of Ding Yi's hands on his body, the current centered on him, forming a small whirlpool, and several small fish hit Ding Yi, Ding Yi ignored it and cleaned it up by himself.
His internal strength is profound, and through his skin, he feels that he can absorb fresh air from the water, and this air penetrates into his skin, enters the blood vessels, and walks around his body, although it is very little, so that he can last in the water for a long time, and perhaps with the progress of his cultivation, he can swim underwater for years and months like a swimming fish, and no longer need to breathe.
His wounds have long been closed under the divine light, and the finger-thick hole in his shoulder is slightly painful, this injury must be completely healed, and it is not a short time to see the wound, but it is no different from being good, because it only needs to be closed to grow flesh and skin.
After more than half an hour, Ding Yi resurfaced and jumped onto the shore, his internal force was running, like a huge steamer, and the white gas was pouring up, and it was dry and comfortable for a while.
Picked up the clothes he picked up and put them on his body, they fit very well, and Ding Yi turned into a young man with bright eyebrows and starry eyes.
Yang Zi cried when he saw the wrong way, because he could be south or north.
Ding Yi is the same, looking at the rushing river on the riverbank, he doesn't know what to do, where to go, the matter of the palace, since Li Yuanji's death, the generals have disobeyed him, intentionally or unintentionally squeezed him out of the decision-making circle, he has become a forgotten person, there is no need to put a hot face on a cold ass, Ding Yi came out, free!
A few steps behind him, a voice suddenly came: "General, can you take a step?"
This surprise is not trivial, someone came to his side not far away, he didn't know, you must know that Ding Yi's kung fu has gradually reached the point where the autumn wind has not moved the cicada, even if Xuanyuan Invincible wants to bully him back then, it is impossible for him not to know.
Looking back, there were two Taoist priests in Taoist costumes and smiling in front of him, these two people were obviously standing in front of him, but Ding Yi felt like he was in the sky, very strange, he was careful at the moment, and replied: "Okay!"
