The majestic palace looked even more mysterious under the night sky, and the cold wind whistled through the open city gate. Huo Yanlai rode to the palace gate, but saw that the palace door was open under the lights and no one was guarding it. He was a little drunk and couldn't think much, so he rushed in. The "ta-ta" sound of the horse's hooves echoed in the palace garden. Just when Huo Yan passed the first gate, the palace door behind him suddenly closed. Just when Huo Yan was confused, torches suddenly lit up on the city wall, and a group of people The soldiers of the Yulin Guards in bright armor flashed from the top of the city.
"Archer……"
However, another group of soldiers appeared at the top of the city, holding bows and arrows in their hands. They lined up at the top of the city. Their arrows were pointing at Huo Quan, all of them ready to go.
Huo Yan took advantage of the drunkenness and shouted: "Do you know who I am? Call that thief Meng Silang out!"
"Meng is right here!"
Under the lights on the city tower, a figure flashed out, it was Meng Silang. Standing behind him was a tall general with a sinister face, General Hong Jin of the Dragon and Tiger Guards.
Huo Yan pointed at Meng Silang on the tower and cursed: "Dog thief, why did you poison my wolf to death!"
Meng Silang laughed loudly, "Do you have any evidence? You are just talking nonsense and don't even look at where this place is. Do you think this is your Fengji Mountain?"
"The thief is still stubborn. Come down and challenge me if you are brave enough. Don't hide behind the damn high wall."
"We all know that you, Huo Qin, are brave and good at fighting, but you also have to see that this is the imperial palace. Not only are you riding in the forbidden area, but you are also holding a murderous weapon. These two things are enough to kill you ten thousand times. Now you still want to use force in the palace. ?" Meng Silang said proudly, "Huh, how can this not make sense!"
At this time, Lu Zuo had already rushed to the palace gate, but saw the palace gate was heavily barricaded and heavily guarded by soldiers, and everyone was on tenterhooks.
Lu Zuo stepped forward and said: "Commanders of the Yulin Guards, Lu Zuo has something to ask the emperor to see. Can someone in charge come out and convey it to me..."
At this time, the crowd moved away, and a man slowly walked out from behind. He was thin and well-armored, and his goatee was particularly conspicuous in the wind.
"My subordinate is General Lekang of the Yulin Guards. I have met Marshal Lu!"
"Oh?" Lu Zuo returned the courtesy, "General Le, I have long admired you! Can you help me convey to the emperor that I have something to ask for..."
Lekang smiled awkwardly, "I'm really sorry. Just now, a criminal broke into the palace with a murderous weapon. Our people are encircling and suppressing him, so I would like to ask Marshal Lu to wait a moment. I can go in and convey the message later."
How could Yin Ji be polite to him, "Go if you are told. If there is a delay, can you afford it?"
Lekang glanced at Lu Zuo with some embarrassment, and then replied quite innocently: "My subordinates also acted according to the rules. Please forgive me, Marshal!"
Lu Zuo was also a little anxious, but he had no choice but to get off his horse, walk up to Lekang, bow his hands and salute, "Lu Zuo really has something to ask for, so I can't delay for a moment. Please forgive me, General Lekang!"
"It's not that my subordinates are unkind, but Marshal Lu currently has no official position. According to law, there is no decree from the emperor, and he cannot meet the emperor. Now is a special moment, and I dare not neglect my duties."
After hearing this, Yin Ji became furious, jumped off his horse, pointed at Lekang and yelled, "Lekang, don't be ignorant of praise!"
"Is this little brother going to use force?" Lekang was obviously a little anxious.
Lu Zuo stopped Yin Ji, and the two of them had to wait aside, hoping that Huo Yan would never do anything stupid. As long as Huo Yan didn't use force, Lu Zuo thought there would be a way to save him.
Although there was a palace door across the way, he could vaguely hear the movement inside. Lu Zuo quickly shouted loudly: "Huo Yan... put down your weapon..."
Huo Yan, who was behind the palace gate, could not hear Lu Zuo's screams outside. He was so angry that he wished he could skin Meng Silang alive and verbally provoked Meng Silang in the city.
Seeing that the time had almost come, Meng Silang said: "Huo Yan, I will give you one last warning. Now put down your weapons and leave you with a whole body, otherwise..."
"Come on, the whole family who dare not come down are dogs..."
"Archer……"
Meng Silang couldn't bear it anymore. With his order, thousands of arrows were fired from the city wall, shooting straight at Huo Yan. Huo Yan was not afraid. He dodged left and right, blocked up and down, and was not hurt at all.
When Lu Zuo heard the sound of killing outside the palace gate, his face instantly turned pale. He cursed in his heart, but he could do nothing. Yin Ji was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, rubbing his hands and muttering while stomping his feet back and forth.
After a shower of arrows, Huo Jin was still undamaged. When Meng Silang on the tower saw this, he couldn't help but admire that Huo Jin was really the best among men. Hong Jin, who was beside Meng Silang, relied on his skill with arrows. He also drew his bow and shot at Huo Yan. Huo Yan was calm in the face of danger and stepped back. The arrow stuck straight into the ground and shook, almost hitting Huo Yan. toes. Huo Quan couldn't be willing, and he was worried that he had no place to vent, so he stabbed the sword neatly on the ground, then pulled out the arrow, followed up with a run-up, and threw it towards Hong Jin. Before Hong Jin could recover, he It had hit him right in the face and he fell to the ground instantly. Meng Silang on the side was dumbfounded at this moment, and the soldiers on the city were also in an uproar. Meng Silang was so frightened that he instinctively hid behind the soldiers.
When he looked at Huo Yan again, he turned around and pulled out the sword from the ground, continued to make a defensive posture, and shouted at Meng Silang: "Meng Silang, if you have the guts, come down and challenge him, don't hide behind others."
At this time, Meng Silang no longer wanted to waste any more, so he waved his hand to the herald. Then the soldiers on the city threw down the rope, and dozens of people slid down the city wall along the rope. Immediately afterwards, a huge net was suddenly thrown from the air and dropped towards Huo Qian. While Huo Qian was reacting, dozens of guards were already pulling the ropes around the fishing net. Here, when Huo Yan was about to cut off the fishing net with his sword, he found that the fishing net was invulnerable to swords and could not be cut. However, when he saw that the fishing net was getting tighter and tighter, until the sword in his hand was also thrown off by the fishing net, Huo Yan became a little panicked. The dozens of people pulled the fishing nets and surrounded Huo Yan, not daring to neglect him at all.
The more Huo Yan tried to struggle, he found that the fishing net was tied tighter and tighter. He had to rush around with all his strength. Dozens of guards holding the rope were thrown back and forth by Huo Yan. Dozens of people could not stand still at all. From time to time, some people fell one after another. Fall down, then stand up again.
After a moment of stalemate, Meng Silang ordered dozens of people to go to the city to help.
More than a hundred people were tossing back and forth, but Huo Yan was still like a tiger, showing no sign of fatigue. On the contrary, the more than a hundred guards pulling the rope were all pale from exhaustion, and many even had their noses bruised and their faces swollen, and their palms dripping with blood.
Meng Silang had to sigh again, "This Huo Jin is not only a dragon and a phoenix among men, he is simply a god descending to earth. I have long heard that Pang Gu is my god of war in the heaven, but it is a pity that I have never seen it. Today, I have really seen this Huo Qi... …”
