The old man wearing a worn Taoist robe slapped Xumi Pianruo away with one palm, causing everyone to be frightened. But when a large number of officers and soldiers and Ouchi guards surrounded them, they saw that the old man was dealing with it extremely clumsily.
He shouted while taking action, "I don't want to fight and I don't want to hurt anyone, but he seemed to be unable to fully control the power of his cultivation. He could shoot away the master in front of him at will."
Lin Ye didn't take action immediately. He had felt that something was wrong with the old Taoist before, and now it seemed that he could probably guess something.
This old Taoist's strength has obviously reached the level of Fu Shen, but he may not know that he is already in Fu Shen. Logically speaking, this kind of thing cannot happen.
Lin Ye went over first and helped Xumi Pianruo up to check. Xumi Pianruo was startled when he saw a young priest approaching the sea.
He judged it as soon as Lin Ye made a sound, and quickly said that he was fine. This was something he couldn't understand either.
The old Taoist's strength was terrifying, and he flew out with a casual wave of his hand. However, looking at his momentum, the blow was not as heavy as it seemed.
"That's okay." Xumi Pianruo said hurriedly: "General, try not to take action, the people are watching." Lin Ye nodded and looked around. Many guards saw him in Xumi Everyone around Pianruo was startled and came over to rescue Master Xumi.
Lin Ye casually made a move to scare away a few people and then quietly retreated. He was really not suitable to stay in this scene.
But Lin Ye did not go far. Instead, he found a deserted place and took off the Shangyang Palace brocade robe. Inside was a suit of ordinary people's clothes. He watched from a distance.
If the old Taoist goes crazy and kills people, he still has to stop him. But the old Taoist just retreated blindly and kept shouting, but his attacks were so intimidating that no one dared to get too close.
However, the people around him looked straight... one by one, as if they had encountered a rare show in a hundred years, they put their feet up and stretched their necks to watch.
People in this world are complicated, and some people who are usually honest and honest are actually starting to boo at this time, shouting about beating, killing, etc., their faces red with excitement and their necks thick.
What's more, when they saw the people from Shangyang Palace fighting with the officers and soldiers, they even screamed and yelled, "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful when a dog bites a dog."
I don’t know if people’s fear of blood is just disguised or something else. Normally, I would be scared of every small cut, but now I’m excited when I see someone’s head being beaten and bleeding.
At this moment, a big red figure rushed over from a distance and landed on the wooden platform. With his hands pressed down, everyone around him had to fall to the ground.
"Everyone stop it." The man said softly, but the words reached everyone's ears.
Everyone looked over and realized that the person who suddenly appeared on the wooden platform was actually a great ritual priest from Shangyang Palace.
Nie Wuzhi had been hiding and watching from a distance, but now he knew that he had to take action. When the people in Shangyang Palace saw the appearance of the Great Li Jiao, those who were nearby were suppressed by the pressure and could not get up. Those in the distance all bowed down, and the scene suddenly became much quieter.
Only the old Taoist and the few disciples he brought looked frightened, but they still didn't stop.
"Who are you?" Nie Wuzhi looked at Yue Zhongqi and scolded. Yue Zhongqi looked over and shouted quickly: "Dalijiao, I don't want to fight, I just want to see Your Majesty!" Nie Wuzhi frowned and said: "I have seen that you keep saying you don't want to fight and hurt people, but you hurt them first. Since it was not your intention, why don't you stop now?" Yue Zhongqi saw the impenetrable Forbidden Army surrounding him, with fear on his face.
"If I don't take action, they will kill me!" As he spoke, he slapped a dozen Forbidden Army soldiers directly in front of him to the ground.
"Who are you?" Nie Wuzhi's eyes were filled with murderous intent. In fact, even he didn't believe that there was a person like Yue Zhongqi in Shangyang Palace who was devoted to cultivation and did not care about worldly affairs, and had a simple mind and no sense of government.
He even thought that this was someone pretending to be a priest of Shangyang Palace, taking this opportunity to cause trouble and intensifying the conflict between Shangyang Palace and the imperial court.
A disciple of the Yue Zhong Banner Sect turned pale and said, "Master, let's go, I'm afraid." There were several Forbidden Army soldiers lying in front of another disciple, all of whom were knocked down by him, but he looked more pale than Those he knocked down were even worse.
"Yes, Master. People in Geling City like to fight so much. Let's leave quickly."
"Master, let's go back to Little Ruyi City." Yue Zhongqi was particularly stubborn. Even though he was already in this situation, he was still stubborn and shouted towards Nie Wuzhi: "I just want to see your Majesty. !" But at this moment, everyone heard the horn sound.
From all directions, large numbers of forbidden troops began to crush them in strict formations. The Forbidden Army General Gao Qisheng's face was ashen.
"In the capital of the capital, there is such a big chaos outside the palace gate. How can we reason with a group of rebellious people!" He stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Clear the place." The imperial army formed a wild goose formation, like thick four-legged weapons one by one. The block moves over.
At this time, those people who were still watching and making noises did not feel scared yet, nor did they realize the seriousness of the matter. They were still shouting and encouraging them, shouting something like "Fuck him to death, don't be afraid, just confront them." kind of flowers.
Gao Qisheng was the most unhappy. He pointed at the people who were making noises and ordered: "Take them all. If there is any resistance, they will be killed immediately." A square formation of the Forbidden Army began to move towards that side, but some people were still shouting: "Bully the weak and fear the strong." Right, those who dare not go to Shang Yang Palace are coming to bully us, right? I am not afraid of you!" Among them, the cunning ones were quietly retreating, while the usually more honest ones were inexplicably excited at this time and were still shouting noisily.
As a result, the Forbidden Army arrived and did not give them a chance to provoke them. The crossbowmen directly aimed at the thighs of these people and fired arrows. After a while, the whole ground was wailing.
The Imperial Guards soldiers stepped forward, pressed down the fallen people with their knees, and tied them all up with ropes. Who cared about the arrow wounds on their legs?
While being dragged, the arrow shaft on someone's leg rubbed against the ground, and he screamed in pain, but no one paid attention to him.
After these people were tied up and dragged aside, a team immediately came to take over. The scattered Forbidden Army soldiers formed a thick human wall around them. People outside the human wall could never see what was happening inside.
A school captain came forward with a bamboo board in his hand, and the soldiers behind him did the same. Whoever was still shouting was slapped directly on the mouth.
In just a few moments, these people were beaten until their mouths were tattered and bleeding. After another moment, no one in the group dared to make a sound anymore. Even those who couldn't bear the pain could only moan in a very low voice.
On the other side, the large-scale imperial army was like mountains surrounding them, and continued to squeeze towards the Shangyang Palace disciples who were driven together in the middle of the square.
"Everyone kneel down!" a forbidden army general shouted. A priest retorted: "Why do we, the descendants of Shangyang, kneel to you?" The Forbidden Army general took the crossbow and fired it at the priest who spoke. The priest tried his best to resist, and many of the crossbow arrows were knocked away, but At this time, the general flew up and put his palm on the priest's shoulder. The priest couldn't hold on and knelt down with a plop.
"It's not me you're kneeling on, it's the law of the country!" The general looked at him with cold eyes. The priest felt humiliated but could not resist.
On the other side, seeing such a scene, the disciples of Yue Zhong Banner thought that the court was going to massacre them, so they turned around and left in fright.
Seeing his disciple being blocked by the Forbidden Army soldiers, Yue Zhongqi was also anxious. He strode forward to clear the way for his disciples, punching out one after another. He didn't know how to control the power of cultivation exquisitely, so that in desperation, several Forbidden Army soldiers were killed on the spot.
General Gao Qisheng's eyes became even colder when he saw this scene, and he immediately ordered: "Anyone who resists again will be killed without mercy!" After giving the order, countless arrows flew densely towards Yue Zhongqi and others.
Yue Zhongqi just waved his sleeves and swept away almost all the arrows. The disciples who were protecting him broke out of the encirclement. When he looked back, Yue Zhongqi's face was pale.
He didn't know why it was like this, why it became like this. A good meeting turned into a fight.
Fortunately, Ning Weimo and others escaped in time. Except for Xumi Pianruo who was injured, the other civil servants were only frightened and not physically injured.
Soon after, the imperial study room. Xin Yanque stood at the window with his hands behind his back. He didn't look back. Everyone didn't know what the emperor's face was like, but they all felt the unprecedented oppression.
"Go and check to see if someone is deliberately causing trouble." Xin Yanque said, "If someone is really taking advantage of this moment to stir up trouble, then no matter who is found, they will be arrested by me. I want to see for myself who it is." ." Ning Weimo immediately leaned over and said, "We have already found out some information. Qingzhou branch priest Mo Guli said that the old Taoist who took action is named Yue Zhongqi, and he is the Xiaoruyi City branch priest." Xin Yanque frowned slightly: " Little Ruyi City?" He had an impression, but it was very vague.
After a moment, he turned around and walked to one side, standing in front of the huge map on the side wall and taking a closer look. After finding the location of Little Ruyi City, Xin Yanque's expression suddenly changed... He remembered that place... It seemed that no one had mentioned that place for many years.
He also remembered that the priest in Little Ruyi City had some relationship with the great Lijiao who practiced the triple cicada magic technique.
"Could he be here for revenge?" Even Xin Yanque didn't immediately think about whether Yue Zhongqi was a simple practitioner.
Because there is no such simple person. The deeper the city goes, the more scheming it becomes, and the smarter the people, the less they believe that such simple people really exist in this world.
"Where are the people?" Xin Yanque asked.
"Yue Zhongqi has a high level of cultivation. He looks like he has entered the divine realm. He led several of his disciples in a collision. In order not to cause more casualties, I ordered him to be released from Geling before pursuing him."
"This person is very dangerous..." Xin Yanque thought for a moment and then said: "Let Gao Qisheng bring more troops to chase him. If necessary... he can kill him." Ning Weimo leaned over : "I obey the order." At this time, Yue Zhongqi, who had fled in panic, had led several disciples dozens of miles out of the city. They were hiding in a forest, and all of them looked pale.
"Master, didn't you say you don't know how to fight? Why did you just go up and fight at that time?"
"I was the one who got into the fight?" Yue Zhongqi shook his head and said, "I just wanted to step forward and ask. I just wanted Lord Ning to take me to see His Majesty." Another disciple said, "It probably wasn't the teacher who made the first move, it was an adult. When you come towards the master, the master takes action, so they are the ones who make the first move."
"Master, I'm a little scared. We won't be wanted by the court, right?"
"This..." Yue Zhongqi didn't know how to answer for a while.
"You can't escape, but you dare to assassinate the assistant minister of the office in public." An old man in black slowly walked in from outside the forest, and Yue Zhongqi immediately stood in front of his disciple.
The old man in black said: "I am also from Shangyang." He threw a sign over casually. Yue Zhongqi took it and looked at it carefully. He quickly leaned down and saluted: "I have seen the priest of ethics." The old man in black nodded: " You don’t have to be afraid, I will take you to a safe place to hide temporarily, you can’t go back to Little Ruyi City..."
"Follow me, I will keep you safe. As for your other disciples, I will also find a way to keep them..." The old man in black took back his sign and sighed: "Shangyang Palace will face destruction. The disaster may have happened because of you, so you can't leave now. If it is really necessary in the future, Shang Yang will still need your efforts."
