At four o'clock in the morning (i.e. at ten o'clock in the evening), when Yun Ming and Qi Xianke were assigning tasks to their companions and explaining their action plans, at the same time, Yue Kuohai, commander of the Jinyi Guards, who was in the capital, The team led the team to a residential house in Jiqingfang.
Unlike during the day when he only brought his subordinates along with him, now there were four unfamiliar faces standing on the left and right behind Yue Kuohai. These four people are of different ages, some are ugly and some are handsome, their bodies are tall, short, fat and thin, and the weapons in their hands are also different. The only thing these four have in common is that even if each of them does nothing, they just stand there quietly, passively exuding a strong sense of oppression to the surroundings, also known as "master aura".
Obviously, these four people were the masters from the palace who were seconded from the palace after Yue Kuohai met with Du Zhuo, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Judging from their ranks, they are all colleagues of Kuai Tinglei, and their martial arts skills are only higher than that of the latter.
Next, let me introduce to you these four masters of the imperial army who came out of the imperial palace:
The first one from the left is Xia Houting. This man has a face like a jujube, eyebrows like a lying silkworm, a broad body and a round waist, burly and strong, basically the only thing missing from the classic image of Mr. Guan is his beautiful long beard.
His weapons are a pair of heavy golden melon and copper hammers, which dance in the same way as Kuai Tinglei's maces, opening and closing, unstoppable. Moreover, Kuai Tinglei's nickname was "Sai Qinqiong", while Xiahou Ting's nickname was "Sai Dianwei". One of these two people is "Qin Qiong", the other is "Dian Wei", one is "Lei", and the other is "Ting", which sounds very CP.
Second from left, Wei Qing. This person is the handsome one in the "some are ugly and some are handsome" I mentioned above. He looks like a young man, with a handsome face, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and jade trees facing the wind. His appearance is particularly in line with the Eastern fantasy literature, which is as gentle as jade, with extraordinary appearance and respect. The master, junior fellow apprentice and junior fellow apprentice are very talented and extremely hard-working in cultivation. In the end, they will most likely sacrifice themselves to save others for the sake of "righteousness". Such a image of a reliable senior brother in the sect of cultivating immortals.
Wei Qing's weapons also come in pairs, and their shapes are even weirder than Xia Houting's hammers - a pair of bright silver judge pens.
The third person from the left is Pang Bujie. This man has an incredible figure, let's put it this way, he looks like the devil Bo Gang, and his waistline is so big that even Maitreya would be inferior to him. Because of his excessive weight and body shape, he was also the only one among the four great masters who did not ride a horse, but followed Yue Kuohai in a horse-drawn carriage.
Pang Bujie doesn't use any weapons. His body is a natural human shield, so he is good at fighting.
The last one is Li Song. This is an old man with silver hair and rickets, and his image is both "short" and "ugly". Although his appearance is not that good, in terms of aura's intimidating power, Lao Li is slightly stronger than the other three masters in the inner circle, as well as Yue Kuohai, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Li Song's weapon is a nine-section stick that when straightened is more than four times his height. Note that it is called a nine-section stick, not a nine-section whip. The latter is a purely soft weapon, while the nine-section stick can be regarded as a combination of three sets of three-section sticks, with the distance between the head and tail of the stick reaching more than six meters. At this length, it is particularly difficult for ordinary people to hold the tail of the nine-section stick and exert force, and it is particularly difficult for the force to be transmitted to the end. Therefore, this weapon has extremely high requirements on the user's waist strength, arm strength and footwork.
After reading this lineup, it can be said that Yue Kuohai was really serious when he asked Du Zhuo for people - these four people plus himself are more than enough to open a dungeon and fight the boss in the game:
Pang Bujie - main tank;
Xia Houting - warrior, can be used as a secondary tank;
Yue Kuohai—a warrior who can also be used as an auxiliary tank;
Wei Qing - short weapon user, assassin;
plum

Chanting - The attack range of the nine-section stick is very long, and I have the highest force value in the team, so I am in the output position.
(Long-range strike martial arts such as bows and arrows, hidden weapons, etc. are easy to learn but difficult to master. The upper limit is not high, so there is no orthodox ADC among the five)
"Is this right here?" Yue Kuohai stood outside the residence and started talking nonsense.
The Jin Yiwei on the opposite side clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, that's right. The eight corpses inside have been in their original positions since they were discovered. We dare not move rashly."
"Where's Wu Zuo?"
"Checking now."
"Yes." Yue Kuohai responded, turned around and made an "invite" gesture to the Ouchi masters behind him: "Guys, the murderer has already left the building, but since this is his place to stay, Come on, let’s go in and have a look together.”
Xia Houting, a straightforward and rough man, was the first to answer: "Okay, then there is Mr. Lao Yue."
Wei Qing followed Xia Houting and greeted Yue Kuohai politely as he stepped in: "Master Yue, please."
"please."
Followed by Li Song. When he came in, he put his hands behind his back and said nothing. He didn't know if he was putting on the airs of a senior or an expert.
Pang Bujie didn't move, he just waited outside, because the courtyard door was not wide enough and his size couldn't squeeze in.
…………
The first discoverer of the crime scene was indeed Jin Yiwei, but this was purely accidental. During the day, at Qi Xianke's suggestion, Yue Kuohai ordered Jin Yiwei to expand the search area and dig deep into the ground to find Zou Yi, the head of the Zou family. Because it was a large-scale manhunt covering the entire city, Jinyiwei and Dongchang went door-to-door looking for people. After discovering that the door of the private house in Jiqingfang could not be opened, the Jinyi guards kicked down the door and rushed in. They really did not expect that they would break through this tragic case of massacre.
In the yard, Yue Kuohai was directing the Jinyi guards to move the family of seven from the small woodshed to the outdoors. This family was ordinary people with no martial arts skills, and it was easy for Chu Zongyang to kill them. Yue Kuohai entered the woodshed and only glanced at the seven corpses. He was disappointed and had no interest in taking a closer look. He shook his head and walked out - they were all killed in one blow and nothing could be found. Relatively speaking, the corpse in the room contained more clues.
In the room, four of the top masters in the world were surrounding the body of Zou Yi, who was also a warrior of this level, and they were all silent. It was obvious that the shock brought to them by this scene was too great.
Zou Yi's death was neither tragic nor too bloody. He was suddenly attacked from behind by Chu Zongyang, and the magic weapon Crescent Moon pierced his heart and died. The direct cause of death was excessive blood loss. This method of death can be said to be very "simple".
But such a concise and clear scene can make several martial arts masters present feel terrified just looking at it. The reason is very straightforward - the murderer could kill Zou Yi so easily, and he could kill them all just as easily.
"Sharp weapon injury, instant kill." Yue Kuohai looked at his old opponent, whom he had fought so hard for twenty hours ago, but died now, and admitted helplessly: "Winning so beautifully, I think I am the best person to win." Not even."
Xia Houting also shook his head, but he pointed out one point: "Before Zou Yi was killed, he had already experienced a series of battles and was in a very bad state. It is reasonable for him to be attacked and killed by someone with malicious intentions."
Wei Qing agreed: "Yes, and the murderer happened to be the person who saved him from danger. Zou Yi could not have had any defense against him."
"The investigation has been carried out. Zou Yi showed no signs of poisoning during his lifetime. It seems that the murderer's attack was just a surprise, and there was no other means to weaken the opponent."
"Exhaust
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Regardless of whether it was calculated mentally or not, I was not sure that I could kill Zou Yi with one blow. "
"But...will Zou Yi really trust the murderer so much?"
"Brother Xiahou, why did you say this?"
"As a matter of fact, I will never expose my back to someone I've only met for less than half a day, even if he just saved my life."
"It does make sense."
"Zou Yi is also a veteran of the world, how could he make such a low-level mistake..."
cough--
Li Song, who had not participated in the discussion, just coughed slightly and stopped everyone talking: "Master Yue."
Facing a senior whose strength was higher than his own, Yue Kuohai did not dare to show off, and kept his posture very low: "What is Mr. Li's admonishment?"
"Admonishment is out of the question..." Li Song said slowly, "But I do want to remind you that how Zou Yi died... is not important."
"What matters is where the murderer is at this moment, and...how we can deal with him."
Li Song also has a bad mouth. He especially likes to play the speech slowly and slowly, which makes the three people on the other side become anxious. But Li Song's words are indeed reasonable: "How strong is the murderer?" is no longer the focus of their attention at this time, because there are only five high-level combat forces responsible for dealing with him. If Yue Kuohai and others join forces, With the combined efforts, Chu Zongyang was unable to be defeated, and the latter was already virtually invincible. Anyway, five or ten people are still invincible, so it doesn't matter how strong they are.
In the worldview of this martial arts universe, the law of quantitative change leading to qualitative change does not apply to upper-level warrior duels. For example, three second-rate warriors can besiege a first-rate warrior and fight back and forth. Five first-rate warriors can fight against a top-rate warrior and the outcome is unpredictable. Those ten top-rate warriors can "enter the Tao through martial arts" Do you want to fight for the "Wuxian"? The answer is - no, no matter how much you come, it will be useless.
The masters of the imperial court are facing such a situation at the moment: the strength of the murderer is much stronger than that of the average top class, but it is not yet known whether he has reached the level of a martial immortal. But we'll know when the two sides finish this battle - if the court can't defeat Chu Zongyang despite the strength of five martial arts masters gathered here, this result is basically equivalent to announcing that the court can start to fail.
"What Mr. Li said is that he really woke up the dreamer with his words." Yue Kuohai was really admiring Li Song's calmness at this moment: "It's just... No matter Jin Yiwei or Dongchang, there is still no whereabouts of the murderer. whereabouts."
"When did the murderer leave here?"
"When the Jin Yiwei searched this house, it was around 2:00 A.M., and by then the murderer was no longer there."
"It was an accident that your Jinyi guards searched this place. The murderer would not have escaped early. He must have done something without waiting for a good place to stay." Li Songzhen just kept silent. The three of them were impressed by his excellent IQ: "Jinyiwei and Dongchang have to change their minds, not to mention how long it will take to find them piece by piece. Even if they are unlucky enough to be hit by you, the gang of soldiers under you will stop them." Can you live there?"
"Then...what does Mr. Li mean?"
"First figure out his purpose and find out the rules, so we can wait and wait for him to come to our door."
There was nothing wrong with this analysis. After hearing this, several people fell into deep thought and began to speculate on Chu Zongyang's purpose in committing this series of events.
However, no matter how hard they thought, they could not imagine that this murderer had the ability to kill people and seize force. It was even more impossible to imagine that Chu Zongyang had already taken advantage of the moonlight to force his way into the Forbidden City, which was under-defended. .
