Big banner, long lance, short crossbow.
Nearly 100 pieces of bright and hidden weapons slammed into the emperor sitting on the dragon chair as quickly as a rainstorm, especially when they were about to approach the emperor. And the emperor, still sitting on the dragon chair, didn't seem to react at all. He didn't move like a mountain, but the eight guards behind him in flying fish robes moved like a mountain avalanche!
The eight guards drew their knives almost at the same time, and the light of the knives suddenly lit up like a horse training. It was as if eight bolts of lightning exploded around the emperor's body, and the light of the knife was so bright that it almost hurt people's eyes. Eight bolts of lightning swam around the emperor, like a flying dragon that suddenly appeared and coiled around the emperor.
After the clanging sound, all the weapons thrown towards the emperor were cut off. Big long spears and small short crossbows, without exception.
The eight guards surrounded the emperor, as if a solid wall had been built around the emperor. The face of the emperor sitting inside the wall was calm, without any change. He looked at the assassins calmly, without any disturbance, neither sad nor happy, not even angry.
Su Buwei was still standing behind the emperor, he was clearly there, but people seemed to only see the eight guards, he was easily overlooked as if he was a transparent person. No one saw that he flicked his fingers behind the crowd, and without a sound, a blood hole appeared on the forehead of the ritual official who stabbed Huai Qiugong. The official from the Ministry of Rituals swayed backwards and fell onto the general platform with a thud.
And those assassins brought by Pei Yao pretending to be officials from the Ministry of Rituals fell into a passive position after the initial surprise attack killed a few flying fish robes standing outside. They took out the flying claws with ropes from behind, swung them up and threw them towards the assassins. The muffled popping sound was endless, and soon, those assassins were grabbed by the sharp iron claws and dragged back by the pumpkin warrior.
Before the felled assassin could stand up, he was stabbed to death with a dagger by those gourd warriors. The flying claws in their hands are long enough that those assassins don't even have a chance to fight back. Although there are many masters among the assassins, the cultivation of the pumpkin warrior is obviously superior. Flying claws to catch people, daggers to kill, their movements seem simple and effective.
The soldiers of the imperial army who jumped up and threw the long spear at the emperor before were surrounded by other imperial army a few moments later and were quickly chopped into meat.
The seemingly abrupt and vicious assassination was disintegrated in less than five minutes.
Huai Qiugong, still in shock, turned his head to look at the emperor. Although he tried to calm down, the fear in his eyes still showed accidentally. The emperor beckoned to him slowly, and Huai Qiugong walked quickly to the dragon chair.
In an instant, Pei Yao, who had eliminated all his subordinates, turned pale with fright. He really didn't expect that the people Prince Yi sent to him would be so useless. He thought that even if he couldn't kill the emperor, it would be enough to make the guards around the platform into chaos, but who would have thought that his subordinates would be killed like melons and vegetables by those golden melon warriors.
He yelped, turned around and ran away.
The two gourd warriors swung their flying claws, and then threw them out with a whoosh. The two flying claws were precisely clasped on Pei Yu's shoulders, and as the pumpkin warrior pulled back, his body was pulled back like a kite. He was luckier than his men, because the two gourd warriors didn't intend to kill him right away. However, the torture he suffered was obviously stronger. So much so that Pei Yao even regretted why he hadn't been killed just now.
Two pumpkin warriors dragged Pei Yao back and immediately stepped forward. The dagger in their hands cut off Pei Yao's tendons and tendons a few times. Lifting him up by the front of his clothes, he threw it backwards to the flying fish robe, which was standing outside the inner bodyguard.
Five minutes before and after, the assassination was cracked.
The emperor glanced at Huai Qiugong, and said in a calm tone: "Stand by my side, and watch how I kill the rebellious officials."
Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, a loud horn sounded from the opposite square. Immediately afterwards, a vigorous shout came from the other side of the square.
"Someone assassinated His Majesty, Zuo Wuwei is ordered to kill the rebels!"
Woo!
The sound of the horn resounded through the sky, and the banner of the orderly was suddenly waved.
The Zuowuwei soldiers standing on the square suddenly changed their formation, and the infantry in the two phalanxes facing the general platform rushed forward in large strides, maintaining a strict formation while running, without any disorder. When they narrowed the distance to the point commander's platform to about a hundred steps, they stopped immediately. Under the command of a general, the soldiers immediately raised their bows. They deftly pulled out the arrows from the quiver and put them on the bowstring.
"Kill the thieves!"
Sitting on the horseback, General Yu Manlou of Zuowuwei drew out his waist knife and pointed forward. Following his order, two thousand infantrymen sent out their feathered arrows at the same time. For a moment, the sky was darkened. Because it is the aiming point to shoot the platform, the density of feather arrows is staggering. Many feathered arrows even collided in mid-air and fell down before flying to where they should go.
Dense feather arrows covered it like hail.
At this moment, the people surrounding the square let out a burst of exclamation. And those people who hadn't had time to evacuate from the singing and dancing hall screamed in fright. The girls squatted on the ground holding their heads and yelling, but their legs were so frightened that they couldn't even run.
Feather arrows were like pouring water, pouring towards the platform. Judging from the density of feather arrows, even one person on the spot will not be able to escape! And no matter how strong the guards around the emperor were, they would appear weak in front of a war machine like Zuo Wuwei.
The real killing move has never been a quack with good cultivation.
Prince Yi Yang Yin knows better than anyone else that if he wants to rebel and seize the throne, relying on those people in the world and a few great practitioners to achieve success is tantamount to a dream. The reason why he is confident that he can snatch the dragon chair is because Because he controlled Zuo Wuwei in the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven! And a few days ago, some courtiers tried their best to speak to the emperor and recommended Prince Yi to go to the northwest to preside over military affairs. But another group of people immediately refuted them. These people resolutely opposed it on the grounds that Prince Yi would not lead troops. At the same time, he recommended Zuo Wuwei General Yu Manlou to lead the expedition. In fact, these two groups were arranged by Prince Yi.
He didn't want to go to the northwest to lead the army at all, but wanted Yu Manlou to lead the army!
Only by letting Zuo Wuwei go out, can he seize this opportunity.
All of this had long been planned by him.
Prince Yi's Mansion.
Huge building on top of the ship.
Holding clairvoyance and looking towards the square, Prince Yi Yang Yin twitched the corner of his mouth and outlined a smile. He looked at the square intently, and murmured, "Fourth brother, do you still like the gift I gave you?"
…
…
Yanwuyuan.
Dean Zhou looked at Master Xiao with a calm expression in front of him, and said after a while of silence: "If I'm not wrong, Prince Yi wants to use the army to seize power? You big practitioners he bought are actually not of much use. First, I just want to draw His Majesty's attention away from the army. Second, I just want to stop those of us who are on His Majesty's side, because Prince Yi is afraid of death... "
Master Xiao smiled and said: "Duke Zhou guessed right. Since ancient times, how can there be a successful rebellion by relying on dozens or hundreds of quacks? Prince Yi has been planning for ten years for today, so naturally he will not pin his hopes on us People in Jianghu. Especially the last sentence is the most incisive, because Prince Yi is afraid of death, so I came to Yanwu Academy."
"Duke Zhou is the number one expert in the world known to everyone in the Sui Dynasty. If you don't stop you, and you just kill Prince Yi's mansion alone, and capture Prince Yi, then all the arrangements of Prince Yi will be in vain. So you say Those of us in the rivers and lakes are not very useful, but we are not entirely right."
He smiled and said: "Fortunately, Prince Yi knows that there is a road leading directly to the Taiji Palace from the back mountain of Yanwuyuan, and there are 800 elite soldiers in the palace. Even if Prince Yi controls the army, he can't get in. So we can only let When the emperor comes out, the courtiers offer their words to hold a military dispatch ceremony, which is also Prince Yi's strategy."
"The Qingfeng Temple is also on the mountain. Prince Yi knows the way, so I naturally know it, so I went from Qingfeng Temple to Yanwu Academy very smoothly."
Dean Zhou nodded: "Of course you don't dare to come alone, so your disciples who are known as the red-robed priests of the Taoist sect must have come. Your disciples and grandchildren also came, because you want to The professors from the Academy of Martial Arts stopped him and did things well for your master. But that disobedient little fat junior of yours didn’t come, do you think you locked him up for fear of doing something bad to him, or did you kill him?”
Master Xiao's face changed slightly when he heard these words, he was silent for a while and asked: "Did you just understand, or did you already know?"
Dean Zhou smiled and said, "Guess?"
"Where is the flaw?"
Master Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Dean Zhou smiled and said: "It's on your little junior brother. He has a restless temper. Fang explained that he hadn't seen Xiang Qingniu for several months. People have to think more. Xiang Qingniu would definitely not agree to follow you to seek rebellion, so you imprisoned him or killed him in advance. If it weren't because Xiang Qingniu and Fang Jie were friends, I would naturally I won't pay attention to it either. So there is a destiny in the dark, where is there any secret to hide?"
Master Xiao was no longer indifferent, and his face became more serious: "Are you waiting for me on purpose by staying here?"
Dean Zhou nodded.
Master Xiao looked around and said, "Aren't the professors from the Academy of Martial Arts here?"
Dean Zhou shook his head slightly: "There are still one or two left to support the facade."
Master Xiao got up, and took a few steps back: "Prince Yi asked me the day he visited Qingfengguan, do you know how high Dean Zhou's cultivation level is. I said I don't know, but I know that I don't seem to be short... Duke Zhou, Do you think you can stop us with your own strength?"
"I know you're tall."
Dean Zhou stood up slowly, looked at Xiao Zhenren with his hands behind his back and said, "Ever since you became the leader of the Dao Sect, you have been waiting for this day. So from the very beginning, you regarded me as your opponent. For so many years, you have been retreating, nothing more than to improve your cultivation so that you can have the power to fight against me."
"It is undeniable that you have indeed stood at a very high place."
Dean Zhou smiled and said: "But you will never know where you are wrong, because you have never understood the Academy of Martial Arts. And you think you understand His Majesty, but you also don't understand at all. Just like, you think you understand and guide you As for the master who practiced, in fact, you still don’t understand at all.”
"you… "
Master Xiao's face changed greatly: "What do you mean!"
Dean Zhou pointed to Xiao Zhenren's back and smiled: "Your opponent is here, His Majesty chose it for you."
Master Xiao floated back more than ten meters and turned around to look.
Liu Huizheng of Wudang Mountain walked slowly towards this side with the help of the old Taoist who seemed unable to walk. Taoist Heju, the great priest in red robes, and Taoist Fengming, the priest of Qingle Mountain who came to Chang'an City quietly, looked at the people in Wudang Mountain with solemn expressions.
Zhou Yuan said in a flat tone: "Your Majesty said that since the Taoist sect is a scum, it is better to let the Daozong's own people solve it. The affairs of the Jianghu are handled by the people in the Jianghu. It is natural that your Majesty can support you Qingle Mountain." You can also hold up a Wudang Mountain! The leader of the Taoist sect can be you, Xiao Yijiu, and naturally it can also be Zhang Fengshan."
