Jiayou's Fun

The eighth day of the lunar month, early in the morning.

In the northwest corner of Haojing Imperial City, separated by a wall from the Hanzhang Hall where the emperor studied and worked daily, is a huge urn city.

The urn city encloses nearly two thousand acres of land, and the many palaces in it are all pitch black, as if they were made of iron. Their aura is as majestic as an iron-walled pass, and their aura is as ferocious as a hellish den.

In such a large building, at a glance, not even a blade of grass or a tree can be found. Between the individual palaces, there are smooth floors paved with three-foot-square boulders, with water seeping between the cracks in the stones. With iron juice, it is truly airtight and the defense is extremely strong.

The Wengcheng only has a gate entrance and exit on the west side.

The city gate, which is only about two feet high and three feet wide, looks extremely cramped and depressing compared to the city wall that is a hundred feet high.

Lu Qian stood at the intersection of the street, separated by a square dozens of acres in size, and opposite the narrow city gate.

Lu Qian's eyes flashed with green light, and he saw clearly the small black iron plaque above the city gate. On it were three large characters with a strong aura as if a knife was chopping and an ax was chopping - 'Palace Guard'.

It was almost dawn when the footsteps of the guards patrolling the city and the sound of armor rubbing could be heard in the distance.

It was the most sleepy moment of the day when suddenly there were rapid footsteps on the street, heavy breathing, and deliberately suppressed curses.

Three figures staggered and ran along the street to the south.

With every step they took, they ran forward seven to eight feet, and the corners of their clothes moved the air, making a rushing sound of breaking wind.

Behind them, dozens of powerful figures dressed in black, wearing soft rhinoceros leather armor on their upper bodies, hats, and short cloaks were also running wildly. The standard lancets in their hands flashed with cold light, and some were holding exquisite shorts. crossbow.

During the chase, some of the pursuers at the rear suddenly jumped into the air and jumped onto the houses on both sides of the street.

They raised their right hands, and the sound of 'swish' broke through the wind.

The short crossbows used by these pursuers were all powerful repeating crossbows forged from fine steel. The small crossbows fired three arrows at a time, and more than a dozen people fired them at the same time. Dozens of fine steel arrows that were less than half an inch tall and shaped like willow leaves. With a harsh whistle, it shot through the air and hit the three people fleeing in front.

The three of them cursed in unison, and three long scorpion tail whips with strange shapes swung up. Three groups of black light and shadow hit the crossbow arrows along with the dull sound of breaking wind.

Dozens of crossbow bolts exploded in all directions, and one of the three who was lagging behind suddenly stumbled and cursed in a hissing voice.

"Scottai's bitch, grandpa fucks your grandma!"

Lu Qian put his hands in his sleeves and shrank his body towards the street.

Sikoutai, a government office run by the great Sikou of the Wu Dynasty of Dayin, was responsible for arresting lawless people and suppressing the powerful Liang Haoheng.

In short, Sikootai only handles big cases, and they don't bother to deal with ordinary petty thefts, murders and arson.

Someone who can be hunted down by Sikotai.

Especially, someone who could be hunted down by Sikootai with great fanfare outside the Imperial City of Haojing.

Basically, it can be guaranteed that they are all a group of bastards who have killed a thousand people and deserved to die.

The man who cursed loudly was hit in the calf by a crossbow bolt, and his speed suddenly slowed down.

He struggled forward a few steps with one leg hopping, and saw blood pouring from his calf, leaving a long trail of blood on the street.

His two companions whistled at the same time and accelerated forward suddenly, leaving their companions behind.

Sikotai's pursuers from behind swept by like the wind. Four of Sikotai's subordinates holding long knives scolded softly and surrounded the man with an arrow in his calf.

The swords flashed wildly, and Sikootai's subordinates cooperated tacitly. The man who was hit by the arrow had difficulty moving, and the whip was knocked out of his hand in two or three blows. He received seventeen or eighteen knives on his body and fell to the ground crying.

In just a few breaths, the other two fleeing people had already ran across the long street, across the small square, and rushed all the way to the city gate of the palace guard. One of them flew up and kicked him hard. On the gate of the palace guard.

There was a loud 'boom'.

Right above the city gate of the palace guard, at a height of five or six feet above the ground, little lights flickered. On the metal lamp stands on the city wall, a row of more than a hundred huge butter lamps suddenly lit up, illuminating the guard with bright light. The small square in front of the Palace Supervisor's Gate was brightly lit.

The sound of the machine's "click" sounded, and at a height of six or seven feet above the ground, metal secret doors on the city wall opened, revealing shooting holes one foot wide.

Nearly a hundred capable soldiers wearing iron armor and holding crossbows showed their upper bodies from behind the shooting holes with expressionless expressions. The crossbows in their hands pointed at the Sikootai who had just ran to the middle of the small square.

"end!"

A member of Sikootai, who was wearing a bamboo hat and with blood stains on his body, suddenly raised his left hand, clenched his fist hard, and scolded.

Dozens of Sikootai's subordinates stopped at the same time.

They lined up in a small square, looking up at the soldiers behind the shooting holes.

"I, Sikootai Qianjun, have been ordered to hunt down the three thieves, the Three-Tailed Black Scorpion Brothers. I ask for your convenience."

Amidst the sound of "Gudong", the two men who fled to the gate of the Palace Guard fell to their knees at the same time, and kowtowed heavily towards the closed door of the Palace Guard: "We three brothers, sincerely join the Palace Guard." , I am willing to work for my lackeys and work for the jailor!"

"We understand the rules!"

The two men roared almost heart-breakingly.

Among Sikootai's men, several men suddenly took two steps forward.

Within the city wall, in the shooting holes, heavy bow strings exploded, and several one-and-a-half-foot-long pure steel crossbow bolts struck through the air, landing heavily in front of the toes of several Sikootai.

The force of the crossbow bolt was so great that the ground paved with bluestone was shot through two inches by the crossbow bolt. The crossbow bolt was deeply embedded in the stone slab, and the crossbow bolt vibrated and made a dull sound.

Tie Qianjun scolded, and the men who rushed forward gritted their teeth and took two steps back unwillingly.

"Crack, rattle, rattle", the harsh friction sound of the door shaft sounded, the iron and wood clad steel, the two-foot-thick gate of the palace gate opened, and a little eunuch wearing blue brocade clothes, holding a fly whisk, with a white face, a small nose and small eyes He chuckled and trotted out quickly surrounded by a large group of people.

Behind the little eunuch, the men in white were all wearing white brocade robes with three-clawed gecko (gecko) patterns embroidered on the sleeves. They wore square black hats, thick-soled black boots, and an inch-wide black belt tied around their waists. , wearing a three-foot-six-inch long Yanling sword.

Some men in white clothes also had chains, shackles and other objects hanging around their waists.

There are more than a dozen men in white clothes behind them, carrying heavy crossbows and strong bows, and wearing arrow pots on their waists.

Lu Qian also saw that several men in white at the back of the palace, in addition to carrying swords, were also armed with heavy weapons such as Zhangba horse spears, gilt tiger-head spears, and bronze maces.

Compared with the guards and supervisors, the dozens of men in Sikotai were more capable and elite, like an army with orders and prohibitions.

And this is the subordinate of the palace guard.

The aura of each of them is very strong and sharp, and many of them even have a faint evil aura. They are all like tigers and wolves, but there is no tacit understanding between them. You are right to say that they are a group of 'rabble' .

The little eunuch ignored the two brothers kneeling on the ground. He waved his whisk and waddled to Tie Qianjun. He smiled and patted Tie Qianjun's shoulder with the whisk.

"Come on, our family has taken over the affairs here."

"Go, go, don't ask for trouble!"

Tie Qianjun gritted his teeth, and even Lu Qian who was behind him could clearly hear the sound of his teeth clenching.

The little eunuch suddenly took two steps back and shouted in a fuss: "Oh? You still want to hit someone?"

Higher up, above the city wall that was a hundred feet high, more lanterns and torches were lit, and more armored soldiers poked their heads out from the battlements of the city wall.

The hundred-foot-high city wall has been flattened for almost a mile, and ordinary people would have to walk for a long time.

At such a high altitude, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see clearly what the people above looked like.

With such a high city wall, if you drop an egg from the top, it can kill someone.

The sound of bow strings sounded, and the soldiers on the city wall drew their strong bows and set up their hard crossbows.

Tie Qianjun's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's... go!"

The little eunuch suddenly took two steps forward and grabbed Tie Qianjun's shoulders: "Hey, there is another person, stay. Keep him, or you can stay together!"

Tie Qianjun's body trembled violently, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "They are villains who kill without calculation and have harmed countless people!"

The little eunuch didn't say anything. He just raised his palm and slapped Tie Qianjun on the face.

'Snapped'!

The little eunuch's slap was not very powerful, but this slap was extremely insulting.

Several Sikootai subordinates around Tie Qianjun drew their swords angrily.

The arrows fell like thunder. Several members of Sikootai who drew their swords were hit by arrows in their right shoulders. The arrows were extremely powerful. The rhinoceros skin soft armor on their bodies could not block the arrows, and they were hit by the arrows. Three inches from the entrance, the arrow penetrated the shoulder.

Several Sikootai subordinates cried out in pain and took several steps back!

The little eunuch looked at Tie Qianjun with a smile and said slowly: "You dare to touch the palace guards, do you want to rebel?"

Tie Qianjun coughed, was silent for a while, and bowed to the young eunuch with difficulty: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I belong to Koutai, and I am loyal to the court wholeheartedly. I don't dare."

Raising his left hand, Tie Qianjun waved lightly: "Let him go, let's go back... The case of the three-tailed black scorpion is finally over. Just turn around and submit the case file to the palace supervisor."

The aura of Sikotai's subordinates disappeared in an instant. They lowered their heads one by one, returned their swords to their sheaths, and weakly followed Tie Qianjun, leaving step by step.

The man who had just been stabbed more than a dozen times and whose calf was still bleeding from the arrow wound laughed wildly, struggled hard, and walked step by step towards the gate of the palace guard.

"Eldest brother, second brother, from now on, we will be able to eat royal food!"

"Haha, haha, Sikootai and other yamen's thugs can't do anything to us anymore!"

Amidst the man's wild laughter, Lu Qian walked gently out of the street, quietly came to the little eunuch, and bowed his hand to him.

"This young father-in-law, Lu Qian, has always been heard that the palace guards are eager for talents, and they only ask for strength, regardless of their origins. The boy is not talented, and he came here specifically to join the palace guards today."

"Excuse me, what procedures do I need to go through?"

The little eunuch was startled by the sudden appearance of Lu Yi beside him. He took two steps back suddenly and was about to yell out loud when he suddenly saw Lu Yi's resolute and masculine face and tall and tall figure. The little eunuch His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, we palace guards don't just accept all the dirty stuff."

"But, looking at your body, you look like a good man."

"Come on, come in with us!"
