After a while, Jiang Tian was already being shouted at and surrounded by King Wu, who was galloping in the street. As the road cleared ahead with small flags and flags, wherever the whistle passed, the officials, soldiers and people who gathered on the street, all of whom were familiar with the road, gave way and retreated.
In a sense, except for the Dajia Lu Book who rarely travels; that is, the Bafang messengers/pawns who possess the wooden contract fish talisman, and the Jinwuwei street envoys who are responsible for the six streets around the capital, they can have the power in Chang'an. Qualifications for riding on all main streets.
Of course, exceptions can also be made for the few royal relatives and ministers who received special favors in the early years. For example, the favored brother and sister Yang Guozhong during the Tianbao period ignored the curfew and stayed up all night to have fun and then galloped back home. This also gave rise to a business of picking up flowers.
Another example is Li Linfu, the powerful prime minister who created the allusion of "Speaking Sweethearts and Belly Swords". Because he had too many grievances on his body, he was afraid of being assassinated. Therefore, he was accompanied by groups of armored soldiers when traveling, and he never stayed too long on the streets; he even went to bed every day. The places are different, and the doors are sealed with wood and stone.
However, since the Taixing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Shen, who was known as the "female middle-aged Yao and Shun" and supported the emperors of the five dynasties, began to adhere to the imperial guidelines; coupled with the Empress Dowager's later years, the official rise of the three supporting political families. Almost all of these relatives, nobles, and ministers in power who dared to ride horses in the street disappeared.
During this period, even if there are some young and frivolous officials and children of noble families who make exceptions, they will soon become shortcuts and stepping stones to fame for those young censors in the Third Courtyard who are eager to make progress. . Just like the dark history of Kodak in the early days.
According to rumors, he suddenly awakened to the strange XP of a cross-dressing boss; he couldn't help but make a bet with others that he could cross-dress and sneak in. He was under strict official supervision and rejected all male creatures in the female street; and after obtaining the token, he calmly walked away from the street Retreat; only to encounter the farce of an acquaintance overturning his car.
As a result, two people were directly promoted and recommended, and they happened to be on duty and patrolling the streets nearby respectively. But no matter what, Jiang Tian was able to take advantage of the situation in disguise, enjoying the pleasure and ease of galloping on the street in this capital city.
Therefore, when Jiang Tian's group of King Wu cavalry set off from the Chongxianfang station across the street to the east of Chang'an County Yamen and headed towards Yanping Gate in the west of the city, sporadic messengers on horseback continued to chase them along the way. Come up or meet head-on and report the latest news from everywhere.
Therefore, with these constant reports of news. The cavalry headed by Zheng Jinwu changed directions several times on the street, and finally turned to Anhua Gate on the west wing of the south of the city. When Zheng Jinwu and his party rushed out of Anhua Gate, they saw smoke and arrows rising in the distance.
That was a signal that only the Kingo Guards, who were responsible for the Gyeonggi Province, could use to mark the situation and summon backup. Therefore, as Zheng Jinwu shouted to lift the horse, where the smoke and arrows rose one after another, there were Wu Pu armored soldiers, rushing out from the street in advance and shouting loudly:
"Alert to Fanluofang, Jiazuo Seventh Street, Southeast Lower District..."
"Fanluofang alerts..."
At this time, Jiang Tian, who was surrounded by the team and was trying hard to control his horse and keep his distance, could already see the reflections of many armors and swords running around the corner of the street in the distance; as well as the uproar of shouts and roars Voice. However, General Zhu Bie and others who rushed over first turned their horses back with resentment on their faces, complaining loudly;
"It's really unlucky. There are just a few criminal thieves on the list and a group of smugglers who have become alarmed."
"It doesn't matter, let's go to the next place."
Zheng Jinwu comforted him gently, and his mount, which was already sweating, said calmly:
Another half an hour later, we were in a large mule and horse market that had been almost turned upside down, and even the muddy ground where Ma's cows and horses had been excreted had been dug up. In addition to the discovery of more than a dozen stolen official horses, Zheng Jinwu and his party also missed the opportunity. There was inevitably a faint look of anxiety on everyone's faces.
"In that case, let's go back to Anhuamen first to exchange for a group of men and mounts, and then we can make plans!"
Zheng Jinwu comforted him again and said:
However, in the midst of sighs and frustration, he finished his words, and colorful smoke arrows rose again in the distance; and this time it was not the previous three consecutive shots, but five arrows of different colors shot simultaneously. This result immediately caused them to shout in excitement on horseback:
"It's actually a four-color and five-color warning!"
"I'm afraid something big has happened!"
"Have you discovered the true master's lair?"
"Hurry, hurry, get there right now, or it will be too late."
As the cavalry speeded up again, the seemingly far distance from the smoke arrows reached them almost in a blink of an eye as they drove with all their strength, regardless of their horsepower. And just a few hundred steps away from the target, the strong smell of blood, putrid stench and anxiety was faintly carried by the wind.
Smelling this somewhat familiar scent, Jiang Tian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relieved expression. Immediately on the bumpy horseback, he nodded vigorously towards Zheng Jinwu who happened to turn his head, and saw Zheng Jinwu shouting loudly:
"Everyone dismount and prepare in advance!"
In an instant, these Kingo disciples all landed on the ground, and then took off the pouches placed behind the saddles; untied the armor and soldiers bundled in them, and helped each other put them on. Just after they were fully dressed, the two long carriages that had fallen behind due to acceleration also followed.
As the first carriage was opened, they took out many strange-looking instruments; however, they borrowed various hooks, forks, handles, etc. from Chang'an County, Wudesi, and Wuhou Yasi in a short period of time. Iron rake guns, and even a few wheeled shields taken from the gatehouse.
At this time, Jiang Tian, who could not control his horse and rushed out for a distance, also turned around again; watching them take out the second opened carriage one after another like magic, and the long pole ropes and tripping ropes were rolled into a bundle. of simple refuse horses, barrels of lime packets and caltrops...
At the same time, several sergeants with blood-stained bodies or black faces rushed towards them from the front; they shouted at Zheng Jinwu and others:
"Just in time!"
"It's finally here!"
"I can hardly hold myself back anymore."
Only then did Jiang Tian notice that the leading sergeant was one of the subordinates of Song Boyi, the right street envoy. It just looked like the situation was very bad, with multiple injuries from falls and scratches on his body, and one of the sergeant's arms was softly folded to one side.
"Young men from Zuojie, all follow me." Hearing this, Zheng Jinwu raised his arms and shouted: "Form up a formation to cover, and advance with the call." Gu
Amid the roaring responses and shouts from the left and right, this team of a hundred Jinwu Guards pushed the wheel shield in front; various long-handled hooks, fork handles, and short spears covered the two wings; they held ropes and poles, refused to The soldiers on horseback protected the center; the rest followed with swords and cards and swarmed in.
Then, an open-air slaughterhouse that had been emptied appeared in front of Jiang Tian and others. It's just that the ground is full of messes, with rummaged utensils and abandoned objects everywhere, scattered corpses and broken swords, guns and flags, as well as several pools of residue like asphalt and tar.
And many Jinwu guards running around and shouting were surrounding a tall warehouse-like building near the river. And under the constant encouragement and orders of Song Boyi, the disgraced Right Street envoy who stood under the military flag, he threw lit torches and burning objects in;
Or he was holding a strong bow and crossbow that looked very sharp, and fired it at the inner door and window one after another; however, a faint roar sounded at the next moment, and the fire balls and burning objects that were thrown in were like It was redialed, but it still failed to light the fire.
On the contrary, some people were too close to the building, or tried to climb from the wall or get into it; but they were suddenly struck, hit, and bitten by the black shadow that suddenly appeared, and they were thrown away with blood or fell down. ; Then, with a lot of arrows shot by Chengran, he retracted.
"This is wrong. I'm afraid we won't be able to attack by force and will only cause casualties."
Jiang Tian then said seriously to Zheng Jinwu:
"Please also ask Jiang Sheng to teach me."
When Zheng Jinwu heard this, he handed over his hands and asked for advice without hesitation:
"Since we can confirm that the ferocious beast is afraid of the skylight and can't hide in it, let's find a way to let it out."
Jiang Tian then whispered a few words to him.
At this time, Song Boyi, the right street envoy under the military flag, finally noticed the coming backup and quickly said:
"Zheng Zuojie came just in time. Please help me quickly."
"Easy to say! Let your people retreat and rest first. Let's go!"
Zheng Jinwu gave an order, and the soldiers holding various strange-shaped utensils immediately formed more than ten teams to cover and coordinate with each other; they just blocked all possible exits of the warehouse. Other soldiers began to slash at the surrounding area with their swords, pushing down and overturning sheds one after another.
Then, all these chopped flammable materials were piled on a few temporarily found small carts, and cans of grease were poured on them to obtain grease on the spot. Then, under the cover of the shield and hand shield, he suddenly pushed it to the door and window of the warehouse at the same time; then the rockets were fired and ignited.
At this time, there was once again a huge black shadow that looked like a ferocious beast inside. It suddenly leaned out and wanted to make a call and scatter the rising flames of the car. However, it was unexpectedly ambushed by the bent body on the left and right, and the hooks and fork handles poked out from the blind area of the field of vision. and the rake gun, which were connected and pulled at the forelimbs and head and neck.
Dark red blood splashed everywhere, and the roaring and screaming beast tried to retreat; but instead, the iron hook and inverted tip dug in deeper, and even tore open a large area of flesh with sparkling blood, revealing its bluish bones. Come. Then, more arrows rained down on its head, face and front.
The pain caused the ferocious beast to violently struggle and turn around, slapping and clawing at large areas of rammed earth that had collapsed beside the wall. Instead, it bent and tore off many restraints, but it still couldn't break free. People on the left and right were pulling poles and ropes one after another, pulling and pulling hard, and most of the body was exposed.
At this time, more hooked short spears and flag guns were thrown at the ferocious beasts crosswise. However, the right street envoy Song Boyi also reacted and brought people up again to help. As more and more wounds and blood spilled out, the ferocious beast, which was as big as a buffalo, began to decline.
Suddenly, at the next moment, he released his claws and his entire huge figure was dragged out; his entire beard and tail were exposed to the skylight. The next moment, his whole body was seen violently twitching and squirming, and he began to roll and shrink with his skin torn open. Then, with the flow of thick gelatin, even the huge bones were eventually reduced to crumbs.
The Jinwu guards on the left and right were stunned for a moment, but they couldn't help but cheered with great morale. Amidst the cheers, in the tall warehouse that had been lit up in several places, a huge figure suddenly smashed out from the upper tile roof; it roared and leaped dozens of steps away.
However, they fell into the Jinwu guards who were stationed near the river. They were thrown over, bumped into, and overturned. While the thick black glue continued to flow, splash, and shake, he plunged headlong into the turbid river beach with the smell of smoke and smoke all over his body.
However, just as the ferocious beast was trying hard to move its rotten claws and try to swim away, several hook spears tied with ropes hit it one after another, and several black streaks were immediately dragged out. The blood stains sank into the turbid river bed.
At the same time, with the continuous input of bundles and piles of combustion-supporting materials, the flames became more and more intense in the warehouse, and continuous whines and howls were heard one after another again. Then, the remaining ferocious beasts that struggled to emerge from the exploding ruins that collapsed from the upper levels finally fell to the ground and melted under the skylight.
"It's such a pity. It took so much effort to develop such intelligence."
At this moment, a boat that had gone away on the Chan River suddenly slowed down. However, someone opened the curtain and sighed in the direction of the faint noise:
"Let go of everything that should be let out, and give up everything that should be discarded." However, another voice in the car said: "As long as the root cause is still in hand, it is not a complete failure. Next, you have to be patient. The earth lies dormant and waits.”
"No, there is one last chance to see how much he really knows."
The previous person said categorically:
At this time, a large thick cloud could barely cover up the originally brilliant spring sun. Among the Jinwu soldiers present, whether it was Zheng Jinwu or Song Boyi, they all showed some kind of luck or concern.
Later, the ruins of the burned-out building were once again cleared away; a large pit where the ground had collapsed was suddenly revealed. Then the sergeant leaning inside exclaimed:
"There's still a little one hiding!"
"Wait, we caught him alive."
Then, a long carriage covered with black cloth was pushed over, under the cover of a temporary tent; a man was about the size of a wild boar, but his limbs were broken, and I-shaped iron bars were tied around his neck and tied to one side. The living creature on the door panel was carried into the carriage together.
