Zhao Yizhi couldn't see the situation outside the team. Seeing how nervous Xiao Chong was, he wholeheartedly agreed. He had only been emperor for a few days and didn't want to die in such an unknown way. He was also aware of the possible dangers Xiao Chong mentioned, and he was afraid that someone was behind the mouse's appearance.
Zhao Yizhi ordered: "Assemble other Chen Congwei to come and escort you. There is no need to alert Qingtian Jihai and others. This may be a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Xiao Chong quickly agreed. Although they were moving slowly, it was because Zhao Yizhi was there and the bumps would not scare the holy driver. But if Chen Congwei is transferred from the palace, with Chen Congwei's skills, he will be there in the blink of an eye.
"Send the blue Chen Congwei signal, and add more Chen Congwei to come and escort you!" Xiao Chong ordered the Xu Shiwei who was in charge of the signal. Each celestial guard has signals from other celestial guards. Red means the situation is urgent and all the celestial guards of that guard have arrived. Blue means that the situation is slightly slower and only half guard can be used.
Xu Shiwei, who was in charge of the signal, did not dare to neglect, and quickly took out the blue Chen Congwei signal, and was about to launch it into the sky, adding more Chen Congwei.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak," a huge rat rushed up, bit the signal tube in Xu Shiwei's hand, and jumped back into the group of rats. The nearby rats swarmed up and bit the signal tube to pieces.
"Xiao...Xiao Wei, the signal tube was stolen by a rat..." Naxu Shiwei said in a panic as the signal tube in his hand was snatched away.
Xiao Chong glared at him: "You can't even hold the signal tube steady, what do you do for food!" The Xu Shiwei lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Xiao Chong turned around and apologized to Zhao Yizhi and said: "Your Majesty, I was not strict in controlling you, and the signal tube... was lost. Please send more Youyu Guards to come, clear the way with bows and arrows, and rush to the prison!"
Zhao Yizhi nodded: "The rule that the Twelve Heavenly Guards only carry one signal tube every time they travel has to be changed. You Xushi guards are arresting hundreds of officials, and the civil and military officials dare not resist. Therefore, you have loosened your martial arts, right? ?You go ahead and do it.”
What he said made Xiao Chong sweatdrop. Indeed, Xu Shiwei was arresting hundreds of officials. How dare the civil and military officials resist? They all wanted to tie themselves up and send them to the door, for fear of being suspected of resisting arrest. Their martial arts training is much less than that of other guards.
Xiao Chong turned around and ordered again: "Send the blue Youyuwei signal!"
Xu Shiwei, who was in charge of the signal, took out a signal tube again. Two rats got into the crowd and pounced on them again. They were grabbed by other Xu Shiwei who were on guard, and they were beaten to the ground and killed.
"Boom~~bang~"
A signal circled into the sky and exploded. The fireworks were gorgeous in the dark night, slowly turning into a big blue rooster pattern.
Not far away, in the guardhouse of Youyu Guards, Pan Chuo, the chief guard of Youyu Guards, was about to lie down and go to bed when he saw the exploding rooster pattern in the sky and quickly stood up. At the same time, the deputy general on duty rushed in. Wu Lai: "Pan Wei, it's a blue rooster pattern."
"I've seen it! Everyone! Prepare your horses!" Pan Chuo ordered to get dressed hurriedly.
On Zhao Yizhi's side, the rats only squeaked and squeaked outside the team, while Xu Shi's guards strictly maintained their formation and were waiting with guns in hand.
"It seems that these two are also masters who don't let go of eagles when they see rabbits." Hu Lishan hid in the dark and said bitterly.
A soft whistle sounded, and no one noticed it among the "squeaking" sounds of the mice. But the mice seemed to have received a signal and immediately swooped up.
At the same time, Xiao Chong gave an order, pulled out the sword on his waist, and shouted: "Kill!"
The screams of rats were endless, and many rats escaped from the spears and rushed into the team, rushing straight towards Zhao Yizhi's position.
"Sure enough, I'm here for your majesty!" Xiao Chong secretly complained in his heart, swinging his sword and cutting a rat that rushed into the team in half.
"Strictly maintain the formation! Protect Your Majesty!" Xiao Chong kept repeating the order.
The Xu Shi guards were wearing armor, but they could not stop the crazy rats. From time to time, Xu Shi guards would be jumped on the face by the rats, bite them on the face, and let out bursts of mourning.
Zhao Yizhi was sitting in the sedan chair, and when he heard the screeching of mice and the wail of Xu Shiwei in his ears, he felt a little impatient: "Xiao Chong! Can Xu Shiwei not even be able to deal with a group of rats?"
When Xiao Chong heard Zhao Yizhi's words, his face was full of shame: "Your Majesty, please calm down, I will wipe out the evil beasts now." After saying that, he came to the outside of the team with his sword, waved his sword twice, and knocked down the faces of two Xu Shi guards. mice on.
"Even if you are bitten to death by a mouse! You still have to carry it! If anyone dares to make a strange scream again, don't blame me for being heartless!" Xiao Chong shouted with a cold face.
When the Xu Shi guards heard this, they all shut their mouths. The Xu Shi guards rarely had the opportunity to use force. Xiao Chong was a kind-hearted person, so they all became a little lazy. Seeing him so angry today, everyone was a little scared and became serious.
In the silent night, the rats were still squeaking crazily, but none of the guards dared to speak. They were already tall and tall, and none of them were fat. At this time, Xu Shi's guards remained silent, holding their guns and stabbing to death the rats that rushed forward one after another with stern expressions, as if they were gods.
Under the command of Xiao Chong, the team was divided into five rows. The first two rows were on the outermost perimeter holding spears. If there were any rats that slipped through the net, the third and fourth rows would kill them with swords. The fifth row and the last line of defense tightly surrounded Zhao Yizhi's sedan.
Most of the rats died under the spears of the first and second rows. A few of them broke through and were hacked to death by the Xu Shiwei from the third and fourth rows with their swords. No mouse could get close to Zhao Yizhi.
The war of mice and men is going on tensely.
"Swish, swish, swish" a row of feather arrows shot out, nailing a group of mice to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a group of men and horses were seen coming from behind the team with their bows bent. The horses' hooves were in formation. Before they could get close, a second row of arrows shot out, killing a group of rats and knocking them to the ground.
Pan Chuo rode first and rushed to the Xu Shi guards. The Xu Shi guards dispersed on both sides to get out of the way. Pan Chuo rolled his saddle and dismounted, went straight into the formation, and rushed towards Zhao Yizhi.
"Youyu Guards came late to protect you. Please forgive me. Is Your Majesty okay?" Pan Chuo, wearing armor, had no choice but to bend down and salute.
"Excuse me, Pan Aiqing came just in time. Let's wipe out the rats together with Xiao Aiqing." Zhao Yizhi said with a smile, "By the way, this rat came very strangely, so there must be someone behind it. But it should be a bit confusing for one person to command so many rats." It’s unlikely, there must be a Rat King nearby. Pan Aiqing depends on you.”
Pan Chuo bent down and saluted again: "Your Majesty is wise!" He bent his bow and returned to his team of Youyu Guards, and gave the order: "Your Majesty, there must be a Rat King nearby! Once you find it, shoot him on the spot!"
"Yes!" Youyuwei responded in unison, their momentum was like a rainbow, and for a moment they drowned out the rat's cries.
As the chief guard of Youyu Guard, Pan Chuo felt really aggrieved. During the six hundred years in the capital, there was no turmoil, but some small troubles were basically out of the hands of the Youyu Guards. A hundred years ago, Emperor Daqi hunted around, and he always took the Youyu Guards with him when traveling. Later, Youyuwei was gradually forgotten. Only on New Year's Eve every year, when the emperor personally summons him, can the chief guards of each army meet the emperor.
This time the emperor sent a signal to summon the Youyu Guards to escort him. Although they were just a bunch of rats, they should not be underestimated. The rest of the Youyu Guards had also been holding back for a long time. When I was a child, I often heard my ancestors and fathers lamenting that the imperial court had no merit and was not reused. Now that I have become a Youyu Guard, I understand the frustration: I have unparalleled archery skills and no place for bravery, so I might as well go to the battlefield and shoot the enemy invaders.
Without Pan Chuo's instructions, the Youyu Guards showed their best, with their bows and arrows drawn, and they shot the rats that acted strangely and at tricky angles on the spot. The energy and spirit are much higher than those of Xu Shiwei before.
Xiao Chong felt ashamed when he saw the Youyu Guards in such a state. Fortunately, he rectified it in time. Otherwise, the Youyu Guards would have come to compete and make a judgment. He and Xu Shiwei would never be able to hold their heads high in front of the other Heavenly Guards in the future. .
A Youyu guard found a huge rat on the wall. At this time, it was hiding behind a group of rats and barking at the group of rats. It was the rat king.
"middle!"
Without any instructions, Youyu Wei raised his bow and nocked an arrow, and an arrow flew away from the string, hitting the rat king in the middle.
The Rat King squeaked and fell from the wall. Suddenly, a group of rats in the rat group stopped, looked up and looked around, and dispersed one after another.
"Good shot! Who shot it? Reward!" Zhao Yizhi's mental strength is now far beyond ordinary people. He naturally discovered this scene and couldn't help but cheer up in the sedan.
The Xu Shiwei beside him quickly shouted, asking the Youyu guard to report his name in preparation for the award.
When Pan Chuo heard His Majesty's personal praise, he felt his face light up, and secretly made a note of the Youyu Guard who shot the Rat King first, and he would like to take credit for it later.
"Zhizhi"
Another rat king was discovered and shot down from the roof, and another group of rats escaped among the rats.
"Don't you two take action?" Hu Lishan, feeling a little hurt after losing two rat kings, urged Lu Ziyou and Mo Qinglou softly.
Seeing that Hu Lishan was anxious, Lu Ziyou slowly stood up. With luck in his hands, Lu Ziyou's hands became as big as two bear paws again.
"Little emperor! Die!" Lu Ziyou rushed out from the shadows, raised his fist and smashed it at Xu Shiwei.
Xiao Chong turned around and was shocked. Is this a fist or a big hammer? But since he rushed over, he was undoubtedly the assassin.
Xiao Chong sheathed his sword, grabbed the spear of a Xu Shi guard, and rushed forward.
Xiao Chong blocked Lu Ziyou's fist with his spear. Unexpectedly, the spear snapped with a creak. Xiao Chong quickly kicked Lu Ziyou. Lu Ziyou raised his fist to meet him. Xiao Chong used his fist to kick hard and retreated.
Just as Lu Ziyou was about to pursue him, an arrow shot out, forcing him to take two steps back. Pan Chuo rushed to Xiao Chong's side, drew his bow and aimed an arrow at Lu Ziyou.
Seeing Lu Ziyou and Pan Chuoxiao confront each other, Mo Qinglou smiled slightly, jumped out of the shadows and jumped onto the roof. He found the position of Zhao Yizhi's sedan, jumped up, and walked towards Zhao Yizhi from the air. Zhi rushed away.
"There are assassins, above! Protect them!" Although Mo Qinglou's movements were gentle, he still couldn't escape the eyes of You Yuwei.
After being reminded by Youyu Guard, the Xu Shi guards also spotted Mo Qinglou rushing towards him from mid-air. Several people from the surrounding area stabbed at Mo Qinglou with guns. Mo Qinglou held the spear in his hand, used the force to get up, and continued to charge towards Zhao Yizhi unyieldingly.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, the other Xu Shi guards rushed forward. Although Mo Qinglou was in mid-air, he bent his hands into claws and scratched the armored helmets of the Xu Shi guards to pieces, leaving them bloody and bloody.
Mo Qinglou was sluggish and fell to the ground.
Without waiting for the other Xu Shiwei to react, Mo Qinglou once again took mysterious steps and rushed towards Zhao Yizhi.
"Suffer death!"
