Chapter 46 Desperate Pursuit (Part 2)(2/2)
After thinking about this, the masked man felt completely empty except for one thing: No matter what, you must not ruin Father's arrangement!"
"When we arrive at the palace gate later, I will take the lead. Let's rush over directly. You must follow closely." After the masked man gave a cold command, he rushed forward a few steps and ran to the front. At the same time, he put on a strange
His black cloak kept jingling as he ran.
But it was said to be a while, but in fact it was only a few breaths. The imperial dining room was close to the east gate of the imperial city. On the way, they once again bypassed two teams of imperial guards who were rushing on their way. After passing through two courtyards, a few people were already watching.
To the magnificent and exquisite gatehouse in the distance.
Although the vermilion gate is tightly closed, two teams of Jinwu guards have already gathered on and beside the city wall to firmly guard the road leading outside the city.
The empire moved its capital to the north and the emperor was stationed in Donghuang. The Golden Scale Imperial City was no longer as prosperous as it had been in the past. Everything left behind was just to keep the Golden Scale Palace functioning normally. Most of the Jinwu Guards guarding the Golden Scale Imperial City were transferred there through connections.
Those who come here to enjoy leisure have been working as servants for more than ten years, and more than half of them have never seen blood. What's more, the number of times the long sword at the waist has been unsheathed is even less. The peaceful scene has long been wiped out.
How could they not be nervous when something suddenly happened to them? Although there were a large number of people on the city wall, the palms holding the spears were already covered with sweat, and their eyes were even more restless, but they were just afraid.
What comes comes.
"There's a situation!"
Following the shout of the sentry on the city tower, a group of Jinwu guards could see a black figure jumping out of a courtyard wall in the imperial city. It was very fast, crossing the square in front of the palace gate in a few ups and downs.
Half of them came straight towards everyone.
In such a situation, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only bite the bullet and go ahead.
"stop!!!"
The leader of the Jinwu Guards who was guarding the door shouted loudly, but the other party didn't stop.
The spear, which symbolized the majesty of killing, changed from being held to holding it, with the tip of the spear in front, and they all rushed towards the people coming. But instead of retreating, the man's feet were faster and he rushed forward a few steps. Seeing that he was about to be attacked from all sides, he
He jumped into the air a few feet away from everyone, turned his body to the left, grabbed the black cloak with his right arm, and shouted out one word
"Stars abound!"
The man in black turned around in the air, his cloak whirling, and countless sharp blades of all kinds suddenly shot out from under the cloak. The silver light was dazzling. The Jinwu Guards on the tower further away felt that they were invisible daytime meteors, and then another.
It was like a hurricane of blades. Nearly a hundred short sharp blades flew out with the sound of wind from the center of the black cloak. The cloak was like an ink cloud, and the little sharp edges turned into a rain of swords, raining death on the surrounding Jinwu guards!
"Ding ding ding!"
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The tip of the blade collided with the armor, making a crisp sound, followed by a scream of pain, the dazzling light of the sword flashed, and the surrounding Jinwu guards all fell down like knives cutting through wheat. They did not wear shields and armor.
He just rushed over with a spear, how could he withstand this rain of death. The armor on his body resisted many flying blades, but with such a dense rain of swords, wind and blades, and the distance was so close, how could there be any living things when the rain of swords fell?
?
The moment the masked man took action, the blade reflected light, and even the Jinwu guards on the tower further away felt like they were seeing stars shining in the daytime. And the next second, all of his colleagues fell to the ground.
In a pool of blood.
The formation that was supposed to be encircling now allowed the sword rain to exert greater power. A burst of sword rain claimed the lives of more than ten people. The masked man did not slow down and rushed straight towards the palace gate. And behind him, there was another wave on the palace wall.
Several black shadows flew out, followed closely behind, and headed towards the palace gate.
In the vast palace city, countless Jinwu Guard teams heard the urgent calls for help coming from the east, overwhelming all other sounds. Although they didn't know what happened, the continuous sound could not tolerate them anymore.
Thinking too much, he immediately turned around and rushed to the east.
At the east side door here, two groups of people were already fighting. As the swords clashed, blood and screams filled the area around the door. But of these two groups, one was a desperado who wanted to break through, and the other was
But he is a soldier who has been neglecting the sword for a long time and only seeks comfort. With this belief, although the Jinwu Guards guarding the city gate are more numerous, the duel between the two sides seems to have evolved into a one-sided massacre. Especially the masked man,
The tiger entered the herd of sheep, darting from left to right, with few enemies left. He actually dispersed the Jinwu Guards' formation with a sword in his hands. Led by him, seven or eight people directly broke through the Jinwu Guards' defenses and killed them.
Climb the city wall.
In such a close encounter and the narrow terrain, the Jianghu swordsman's ability to fight alone is far better than that of the Jinwu Guards who formed a formation to fight against the enemy. In addition, the Jinwu Guards under the city wall collapsed too quickly, making the archers who originally occupied the commanding heights on the city wall still have to fight.
They were forced into close combat without firing a few arrows. Under such circumstances, the guarding Jinwu Guards could not stop the gang of desperadoes at all. The only result was that only one of them was seriously injured, leaving the others more or less dead.
The masked man who rushed forward was unscathed, but his black cloak was scratched.
Holding a long sword in his left hand, he rushed forward, and while he was slashing, his right hand would shoot out deadly flying knives from time to time. The Jin Wuwei who rushed up was not as good as others, and suddenly something strange happened during the battle.
He shoots flying knives to the extreme and kills all the way, unstoppable.
He rushed up to the city wall at the head of the army, threw the long sword in his hand, passed through the armor, went straight to the throat, and actually nailed an oncoming Jinwu guard to the pillar supporting the gate tower, and then waved his hands quickly
, and then threw several flying knives like a goddess scattering flowers, sweeping away the surrounding Jinwu guards who had no time to react. In two moves, he harvested the lives of the surrounding Jinwu guards. Taking advantage of this vacuum period, he turned back
He yelled, "Don't be obsessed with fighting, let's go!" Then he jumped off the palace wall several feet high and headed straight for the city in the distance.
Several people behind him also followed closely, sandwiching the crying Wei Buyi and his seriously injured brother. When they reached the wall, the two of them lifted him up and jumped down the city wall. But even though
Although the masked man was extremely brave, the Jinwu Guards were so numerous that they immediately swarmed up before anyone else could make a move, surrounding the remaining five people who had not yet had time to jump off the city wall. But after all, they had reached the top of the city tower, and the terrain
It was so narrow that no matter how many Jinwu Guards there were, they couldn't move. After some struggle, there were only a few more corpses, which couldn't stop them from approaching the wall.
Seeing that they were about to escape one by one, the Jinwu Guards were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. No matter how desperate they were, they knew what would be waiting for them after they let all the thieves who broke into the palace escape.
"Stop them!!! Quick, quick!!! If we let the thieves run away, we all have to finish!!" The centurion standing at the end of the crowd was roaring hysterically. This group of thieves had strong martial arts skills and clear thinking.
He went to seize the gate and attack the city wall, just because he didn't want to fight with them.
Such a large group of people are hiding in the palace, but they have never discovered it. Let alone the evil intentions, the problem is that they still have to rush out of your side door without any damage. The centurion knew that he would be a...
What an end. But I just couldn't stop him. Seeing that everything was over, my liver and gallbladder were so cold that I suddenly heard another exclamation from my own men below the gate.
"who!!!"
In a desperate fight, several men in black at the back of the palace killed several more Jinwu guards and jumped down one after another. The last one cut down a Jinwu guard who was rushing towards him. He also held on to the wall with one hand, ready to leap.
At the critical moment, the centurion heard an exclamation from under the city gate, and a figure rushed out of his sight. He flew out from under the palace wall, without being stained by dust, and passed over the heads of the Jinwu Guards.
He attacked straight towards the last person on the tower.
An iron hand suddenly came over and grabbed his neck, seeming to pick up a chicken, freezing the movement of the last person jumping out in mid-air.
The masked man downstairs was slightly happy to see his subordinates escaping from trouble, but before he could make a sound, a bone-chilling and extremely strange scene suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Under the gorgeous gate, the servant who had been with him day and night for more than ten years was dancing and struggling in the air. The hand of death that came from nowhere grabbed the back of his neck and hung him on the ground.
He walked outside the palace wall. Under the severe pain and suffocation, he grabbed his hands back like crazy, and kicked his legs in the air irregularly, trying to get rid of this life-threatening iron claw. Even though he was wearing a black scarf, it was still visible.
The facial features were twisted ferociously due to pain. It looked like a fish that had its gills pinched and was lifted out of the water, struggling in vain.
Silence! Deathly silence!
The sudden change wiped out the fierce shouts of killing just now, suppressed the Jinwu guards downstairs, and also prevented the masked man and his party who were trying to escape outside the door from taking another step. They had just been fighting to the death, and a group of
The Jianghu swordsman, who even the Jinwu Guards could not stop, turned into a pond fish that was about to suffocate to death. Seeing his hands and feet gradually become weak and weak, the feeling of despair that hit his face was so painful that his spine
Feeling cold, everyone's eyes were focused on the struggling hands and feet that gradually became pitiful, and on the person behind him who controlled his life and death.
He was wearing a flying fish suit as black as ink, the embroidered spring knife in his hand was catching the cold light, and there were strange tattoos on his cheeks, which tore his profile like lightning tearing through the night. The person who came was none other than Jinyiwei Jinlinzhenfu Division A small general banner, Shen Qiye.
Witnessing all this, the masked man outside the palace gate had his eyes cracked and his four fingers dug deeply into his palms. He never imagined that despair and joy would come so quickly.
Shen Qiye stood on the palace wall without saying a word. He moved the person away with his left hand, tilted his head slightly and looked at the masked man under the palace wall. Then his lips slowly raised and he smiled like a devil.
"Hehehehehahahahahahahahahahahaha... I told you, you can't run away!"
The already horrifying scene coupled with the cold laughter made the Jinwu guards on the tower feel like they had fallen into the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month from the scorching hot June sky, and a chill spread all over their bodies from their feet upwards.
However, perhaps he has become accustomed to giving up and learned to endure. Looking at the painfully struggling servants on the gatehouse, the masked man no longer had any hesitation or pain when making this decision.
With a hiss, starlight shot through the sky, and it was the fatal flying knife again. However, this time its target was not Jin Wuwei or Shen Qiye, but the struggling man in black.
The incident happened suddenly, and Shen Qiye was also shocked. But fortunately, the distance between the two of them was long, which still gave Shen Qiye time to react.
He could only hear him yelling "Get up!" and then he kicked hard on the city wall, using his hands hard, he lifted the man in black in his hand and threw it into the palace wall. Although Shen Qiye reacted quickly, but that The soul-eating dart still hit the thigh of the man in black, Ah Si. Although it was not fatal, he was still bleeding profusely. After being pinched and thrown by Shen Qiye again, half of his life had been lost. He was lying on the ground unable to move. .
The centurion who reacted first pointed his finger at the visitor and shouted hurriedly, "Who are you!!"
Shen Qiye said without looking back, "Jinyiwei Jinlin Town Prefecture Secretary, Chief Flag Officer Shen Qiye! Why don't you quickly inform your commander to go to the imperial kitchen to rescue Wei Qianhu's wife and Miss Li! Also, this person, please take him into custody as soon as possible." , must not die!"
After finishing speaking, he turned over and jumped down, chasing the masked man and his group who were about to run into the city.
Chapter completed!
