    Chapter 268 Jianghu affairs are handled by Jianghu people

    A big flag, a long spear, and a short crossbow.

    Nearly a hundred exposed and concealed weapons were thrown at the emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne like a rainstorm, and they became even denser when they were about to reach the emperor.  The emperor, still sitting on the dragon throne, seemed to have no reaction at all.  He was as motionless as a mountain, but the eight guards behind him in flying fish robes moved, as if a landslide!

    The eight guards drew their swords almost at the same time, and the light of their swords suddenly lit up.  It was as if eight bolts of lightning exploded around the emperor's body, and the sword light was so bright it could almost sting people's eyes.  Eight bolts of lightning wandered around the emperor, like a flying dragon that suddenly appeared and circled around the emperor.

    After the clanging sound, all the weapons thrown towards the emperor were chopped down.  Big long crossbows and small short crossbows, all without exception.

    Eight guards protected the emperor, as if building a solid wall around the emperor.  The emperor sitting inside the wall had a calm expression, without any change.  He looked at the assassins with a calm gaze, without any emotion, neither sadness nor joy, not even anger.

    Su Buwei was still standing behind the emperor. He was obviously there, but people seemed to only see the eight guards. He was easily ignored as if he was a transparent person.  No one saw him stabbing Huai Qiugong with a flick of his finger from behind the crowd, leaving a blood hole on the forehead of the official from the Ministry of Rites.  The official from the Ministry of Etiquette swung backwards and fell onto the judging table with a thud.

    The assassins brought by Pei Tao who pretended to be officials from the Ministry of Etiquette fell into a passive position after killing a few Feiyupao standing outside in the initial raid. Those Jingua warriors who seemed to be just showing up quickly pressed over.  They took out the flying claws with ropes from their backs, swung them and threw them at the assassins.  The muffled sound of popping was endless, and soon, the assassins were clasped by sharp iron claws and pulled back by the golden melon warriors.

    Before the fallen assassin could stand up, he was stabbed to death by the pumpkin warriors with daggers.  The flying claws in their hands were long enough, and those assassins didn't even have a chance to fight back.  Although there are many masters among the assassins, the cultivation level of the Golden Melon Warrior is obviously superior.  Catching people with flying claws and killing with daggers, their movements look simple and effective.

    The Forbidden Soldiers who jumped up and threw spears at the emperor were also surrounded by other Forbidden Soldiers a moment later and were quickly chopped into pieces.

    It seemed like a sudden and brutal assassination, but it was dismantled in less than five minutes.

    The shocked Huai Qiugong, the Minister of Rites, turned back to look at the emperor. Although he tried to remain calm, the fear in his eyes was still revealed accidentally.  The emperor waved to him slowly, and Huai Qiugong quickly walked towards the dragon chair.

    Pei Tao, who had all his subordinates eliminated in an instant, was so frightened that his face turned pale. He really didn't expect that the people sent to him by Prince Yi would be so ineffective.  I thought that even if he couldn't kill the emperor, it would be enough to cause chaos among the guards around the general platform. But who would have thought that his men were actually killed by those golden melon warriors as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.

    He yelled, turned around and ran away.

    The two pumpkin warriors swung their flying claws, and then threw them out with a whoosh.  Two flying claws accurately clasped Pei Tao's shoulders. As the Golden Melon Warrior pulled back, his body was pulled back like a kite.  He had better luck than his men, because the two golden melon warriors did not intend to kill him immediately.  However, the torture he suffered was obviously stronger.  So much so that Pei Tao even regretted why he hadn't been killed just now.

    The two golden melon warriors pulled Pei Tao back and immediately stepped forward. They cut off Pei Tao's hand tendons and hamstrings with the dagger in their hands. Then a golden melon warrior grabbed Pei Tao's chin and twisted it up and down, and then grabbed it again.  He picked him up by the front of his clothes and threw him back to the flying fish robe of the Ouchi guard who was standing outside.

    Within five minutes, the assassination was solved.

    The emperor glanced at Huai Qiugong and said in a calm tone: "Stand beside me and watch how I kill the rebellious ministers."

    Just when he finished speaking, suddenly, a loud horn sounded in the square opposite.  Immediately afterwards, a powerful shout came from the other side of the square.

    "Someone is trying to assassinate Your Majesty, Zuo Wuwei is ordered to kill the rebels!"

    Woo!

    The horn sounded throughout the sky, and the flag of the messenger suddenly waved.

    The Zuowuwei soldiers standing on the square suddenly changed their formations, and the infantrymen of the two square formations facing the general platform strode forward. They still maintained a strict formation without any chaos while running.  When they closed the distance from the general platform to about a hundred steps, they immediately stopped. Under the command of a general, the soldiers immediately raised their rifle bows.  They skillfully pulled out the arrows from the quiver and placed them on the bowstrings.

    "Kill the thieves!"

      Zuowuwei General Yu Manlou, who was sitting on horseback, drew out his sword and pointed forward. Following his order, two thousand infantrymen sent out arrows at the same time.  In an instant, the sky became dark.  Because the target was aimed at the target, the density of arrows was staggering.  There were even many feather arrows that collided in mid-air and fell down before they could fly to where they were supposed to go.

    Densely packed feather arrows covered it like hail.

    At this moment, the people surrounding the square let out a burst of exclamations.  The people in the cabaret who had not had time to evacuate started wailing in fear one by one. The girls squatted on the ground holding their heads and yelling, but their legs were so frightened that they could not even run.

    The feather arrows were like a downpour of water, pouring towards the general platform.  Judging from the density of feathers and arrows, no one on the general stage will be able to escape!  And no matter how strong the guards around the emperor are, they will still appear weak in front of a war machine like Zuo Wuwei.

    The real killer move is never a person with good cultivation.

    Prince Yi Yang Yin knew better than anyone that if he wanted to rebel and seize the throne, relying on people in the world and a few great practitioners would be tantamount to wishful thinking. The reason why he was confident that he could seize the dragon throne was because  Because he controls Zuowu Wei, one of the Sixth Army of the Emperor!  A few days ago, some courtiers made serious suggestions to the emperor and recommended Prince Yi to go to the northwest to preside over military affairs.  Others immediately refuted them. These people firmly opposed it on the grounds that Prince Yi could not lead troops.  At the same time, he recommended General Zuo Wuwei Yu Manlou to lead the expedition. In fact, these two groups of people were arranged by Prince Yi.

    He didn¡¯t want to go to the northwest to lead the troops at all, but wanted Yu Manlou to lead the troops!

    Only by letting Zuo Wuwei go out can he seize this opportunity.

    All of this has long been part of his plan.

    Prince Yi¡¯s Mansion

    On the top of a huge ship

    Holding a clairvoyant eye, Yang Yin, Prince Yi, looked across the square and raised the corners of his mouth, hinting at a smile.  He looked at the other side of the square attentively and murmured: "Fourth brother, do you still like the gift I gave you?"

    ¡­¡­

    Martial arts academy

    Dean Zhou looked at the indifferent Master Xiao in front of him, was silent for a while and said: "If I am not wrong, Prince Yi wants to use the army to seize power? You, the great practitioners he bribed, are actually not of much use.  First, it¡¯s just to draw His Majesty¡¯s attention away from the army. Second, it¡¯s just to stop those of us who are on His Majesty¡¯s side, because Prince Yi is afraid of death"

    Master Xiao smiled and said: "Duke Zhou was right. Since ancient times, where has there been any example of a successful rebellion relying on dozens or hundreds of Jianghu people? Prince Yi has been planning for today for ten years, so naturally he will not place his hopes on us.  The last sentence is the most insightful, because Prince Yi was afraid of death, so I came to Yanwuyuan."

    "Duke Zhou is known to the people of the Sui Dynasty as the best master in the world. If I don't stop you and you go to Prince Yi's Mansion alone and capture Prince Yi, then all the arrangements made by Prince Yi will be in vain. So you say  We people in the world are not of much use, and that¡¯s not entirely true.¡±

    He smiled and said: "Fortunately, Prince Yi knew that there is a road in the back mountain of Yanwuyuan that leads directly to Taiji Palace, and there are 800 elite soldiers in the palace. Even if Prince Yi controls the army, he will not be able to enter. So he can only let  It is also Prince Yi's strategy to hold a grand ceremony for dispatching troops when the emperor comes out."

    "And Qingfeng Temple is also on the mountain. Prince Yi knows that way, so I naturally know it, so I walked smoothly from Qingfeng Temple to Yanwu Academy."

    Dean Zhou nodded: "Of course you don't dare to come alone, so your disciples who are known as the red-robed priests of the Dao Sect must also be here. Your disciples and grandsons are also here, because you want to  The professors of the Yanwu Academy are all trying to do something good for your master, but your disobedient little fat junior brother didn¡¯t come. I guess you were afraid that he would do something bad, so you locked him up or killed him?"

    When Master Xiao heard this, his expression changed slightly. He was silent for a while and asked, "Did you just understand, or did you already know it?"

    Dean Zhou smiled and said, "What do you think?"

    "Where is the flaw?"

    Master Xiao couldn¡¯t help but ask.

    Dean Zhou smiled and said: "It's just about your little junior brother. He has a temper that can't sit still. Fang Jie said that he hasn't seen Xiang Qingniu for several months. This seems to be a very small thing, but it makes him sad.  People have to think more. Xiang Qingniu will definitely not agree to follow you to rebel, so you imprisoned or killed him in advance. If it weren't for Xiang Qingniu and Fang Jie being friends, I would naturally do this.  I won't pay attention to it, so there is destiny somewhere, so there is nothing hidden.?¡¯s secret?  "

    Master Xiao is no longer indifferent, his face becomes more serious: "Are you staying here waiting for me on purpose?"

    Dean Zhou nodded.

    Master Xiao looked around and said, "Are the professors from the Yanwu Academy not here?"

    Dean Zhou shook his head slightly: "There are still one or two people left to support the appearance."

    Master Xiao stood up and took a few steps back: "Prince Yi asked me on the day he visited Qingfeng Temple on the mountain, do you know how high Dean Zhou's cultivation level is? I said I don't know, but I know that I don't seem to be short either Duke Zhou  , do you think you can stop us on your own?"

    "I know you are already very tall."

    Dean Zhou stood up slowly, looked at Master Xiao with his hands behind his hands and said, "You have been waiting for this day since you became the leader of Dao Sect. So from the beginning, you regarded me as your opponent.  You have been in seclusion for so many years, just because you want to improve your cultivation to be able to fight with me. "

    "It is undeniable that you have indeed stood on a very high place."

    Dean Zhou smiled and said: "But you will never know where you are wrong, because you have never understood the Yanwu Academy. And you think you understand His Majesty, but in fact you don't understand him at all. Just like, you think you understand and guide you  It¡¯s like you don¡¯t understand the master at all.¡±

    "you¡­¡­"

    Master Xiao¡¯s face changed drastically: ¡°What do you mean!¡±

    Dean Zhou pointed behind Master Xiao and said with a smile: "Your opponent is here, His Majesty has chosen it for you."

    Master Xiao floated back more than ten meters and turned around to look.

    Liu Huizheng of Wudang Mountain slowly walked here, supporting the old Taoist who seemed unable to walk.  The red-robed high priest Taoist Heji and the high priest Fengming Taoist from Qingle Mountain Yiguan who quietly came to Chang'an City looked at the people of Wudang Mountain with solemn expressions.

    Zhou Yuan said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty said that since it is Daozong who has become a scumbag, it is better to let Daozong's own people solve the problem. Things in the Jianghu are done by the people in the Jianghu. Your Majesty can support you Qingleshan Yiqiguan, naturally  You can also hold up a Wudang Mountain! The leader of the Dao Sect can be you, Xiao Yijiu, and naturally it can also be Zhang Fengshan."
