C46 Forceful Attack
Dongfang Zhong bewilderedly got up and walked over to the window to see the messenger standing in the middle of the courtyard. He asked, "Are you dreaming? "Today, I'm on vacation …"
"Wake up, Chief Flag," the messenger said, "There is an urgent duty, mega-man wants you to hurry over immediately." "Oh …" Only then did Dongfang Zhongyu sober up a bit. He immediately washed his face, put on his clothes, took his knife and badge and left the room.
When they arrived at the Northern Fountain Division, Dongfang Zhongyue went directly to the second floor's yard and entered the lobby to see Pang Ying, "mega-man, you were looking for me?"
"Well," Pang Ying moved her bloated body deeper into the chair and said, "Yesterday, King Zhou, Duke Cheng, Minister of Rites, Minister of Rites, Minister of the Civil Service, Minister of Justice, and Minister of Justice jointly impeached Cao Guoguo, Li Jinglong, for his illegal actions and words. So now that you have another chance to earn merits, I'll think of you as a good thing! "
Dongfang Zhongyu was shocked, indeed they were going to touch Li Jinglong, then the Iron Vouchers was really arranged by Zhu Di, what impeachment? It was all arranged, but why did Thirteen Blood Iron Eagles join in? Then there was Geng Bingwen. He was also an elder in the imperial court! Why did you suddenly want to catch him? He replied, "Thank you, Sir, for your guidance."
"Why are you being so courteous? You are my favorite disciple, I don't care who you take care of. "Pang Ying smiled and said," You will lead the Mortal Flag and the Word Flag to capture Li Jinglong. He is currently at the southern foot of the purple mountain.
Dongfang Zhongyu was amused. You didn't teach me any moves, so how come I became your disciple? This meant that old man Kong was no longer one of the three thousand disciples. He probably wouldn't be able to hold on to at least thirty thousand. He went out to look for Yue Jiangchuan and Jin Shazhi.
After calling the two to one place, Dongfang Zhongyue announced the mission. Yue Jiangchuan didn't do anything about it. Jin Shazhi's eyes immediately widened when he heard that, "Chief Flag, just the two of us?" "Yeah!" "Is it because you don't have enough manpower?"
"Chief Flag," Jin Shazhi said with a worried face. "Li Jinglong is the son of Li Wenzhong. Everyone in the Li Residence, even those who cleaned and cooked, knew martial arts. There are only twenty-three of us, I'm afraid... "I'm afraid …
Yue Jiangchuan was puzzled and asked, "Since it's like this, why don't we send more people or let the soldiers capture them?" It doesn't matter if there are less people to use it or if there are more people to use it, I'm afraid Li Jinglong will find out, "Dongfang Zhongyue said," The order has been given, let's gather some people and set off immediately. "
Yue Jiangchuan and Jin Shazhi did not dare to immediately gather their men. The 23 horses left in a line and started galloping the moment they got on the main road. The clatter of the horses' hooves on the flagstones could be heard from afar. The commoners had long since hidden themselves.
The purple gold mountain was less than twenty miles away from the capital, and it would take less than an hour for it to reach its destination. Li Jinglong's house was on a small hill on the side of the mountain. The gate of the blue brick courtyard was very eye-catching in the shadow of the green grass and trees.
Calling everyone to his side, Dongfang Zhongyue ordered: "The ten of them will pass through the forest on the east side, and take a detour to the mountain path at the back to block their way. The ten of them moved from the west ditch and surrounded Li Residence on both sides. Yue Jiangchuan and Jin Shazhi, the three of us, will go from the main road and attack the main gate.
The staff of the banner immediately dispersed and set out on foot towards the Li Residence. After everyone had left, Dongfang Jingyue said: "We can only do this. As long as we catch Li Jinglong when the time comes, it's best if we don't take any action."
Yue Jiangchuan said, "Head Flag, I don't have any objections." I don't have one either, "Jin Shazhi grinned," Heh … I just don't understand why the people from the other flags haven't sent more people. " Dongfang Zhongyu naturally didn't understand, but he could only say: "mega-man has his own reasons for arranging this!"
Pang Ying didn't know if this arrangement was reasonable or not, but the more people in the east had a purpose. The three of them could attract the attention of the people in the mansion from the front, indirectly protecting the two flags as they approached.
Sure enough, there was still two hundred steps before the gate opened. A person was looking in their direction. When the three of them got off their horses, they saw a tall and skinny man who was about thirty years old standing on the stairs. The man looked at them and asked: "You are the Imperial Secret Service? What brings you here? "
Everyone was wearing civilian clothes, so the tall, skinny man should have been able to recognize him from his knife. "Brother, you have a good eye. We want to meet with the Duke of Cao and have an imperial decree." The Embroidered Uniform Guard's imperial edict? " The tall and skinny man crossed his arms, a look of disdain on his face, "Never heard of it."
Dongfang Zhongyue's face instantly became stern, and said: "Who said that the Embroidered Uniform Guard could not pass down the imperial edict? What I brought was the Emperor's dictum. Hurry and report this to the Duke of Cao, Lord Li! "
That person looked at him with contempt, "I am the nephew of the Duke of Cao. If you really want to meet my uncle, then just wait! He's sleeping. "
"It can't be?" Yue Jiangchuan asked in confusion, "It's already past midnight, why are you still sleeping …"
"He drank too much last night, won't he? He just likes to sleep in, can't he? " That person glared at the three of them, turned around and walked towards the door, "You guys just wait! I'll inform you guys when the time comes. "
Dongfang Zhongyue knew that something was wrong. Drinking too much meant drinking too much. Losing sleep meant losing sleep. These two reasons were combined to use Li Jinglong's position as an excuse. There must be another reason.
From the east, Yue Zhong gave Yue and Jin a meaningful glance, and immediately followed them. The tall and thin man had already stepped through the doorway and was about to close the door and lock it when he saw the three of them following him. Dongfang Zhongyue shot forward like an arrow, and before he could even cry out, the Xiuchun Knife had already reached his front and pierced his throat.
Yue Jiangchuan did not expect that his attack was a killing move. He asked in surprise: "Chief Flag, are we going to attack now?" "Shh …" Dongfang Zhong said in a hushed tone, "The residence is on guard!"
"It can't be?" Yue Jiangchuan looked inside the door. There was only a wide wall in his line of sight. Even the gatehouse could not be seen. It's too quiet, "Jin Shazhi said in a low voice." Something is not right. Dongfang Zhongyue gestured to enter, then went around the Reflecting Wall with Jin Shazhi and Yue Jiangchuan respectively.
Just as he turned around to face the wall, Dongfang Zhongyue was stunned. Behind the wall, there was a dense crowd of people at least fifty to sixty people. They were all holding large blades and short spears in their hands, and both sides were shocked when they saw each other within five to six feet of each other.
"Who are you people? What do you want to do? " Someone suddenly shouted. Dongfang Zhongyu looked over and saw an old man in his fifties standing on the stone steps of the hall behind the crowd. His expression was dignified and dignified. It was Li Jinglong.
"Lord Li," Dongfang Zhongyue replied, "I am Jin Yi Wei Bei Zhen Fu Si, the chief flag, Dongfang Zhongyu. I have an imperial edict to tell him in person." Li Jinglong recognized that it was him who had taken a small bite …
Shocked, "How is it you? Chengzu Emperor wants you to capture me, right? Heh heh … That's me and him. You Embroidered Uniform Guards, don't meddle in it. I advise you to go back! "
"You misunderstand," Dongfang Zhong said with a smile. "The Emperor is only inviting Sir Li to return to the capital. There is something he wants to discuss with you." Nonsense! You want to invite me back to the capital with a knife? " Li Jinglong scolded.
Dongfang Zhongyue thought: Li Jinglong must have predicted what happened today. Since he had to fight, he must strike first to gain the upper hand! He also didn't make a sound. He suddenly dashed forward and raised his blade to chop down. The person across from him jumped in fright and hurriedly welcomed the attack with his saber. Dongfang Zhongyu's move was a feint, the Xiuchun Knife suddenly changed direction midway and chopped off half of the left person's head.
Blood spurted out of everyone's mouth. They all took out their weapons and rushed towards those three warriors. Li Jinglong was a military general who was in charge of military affairs. Most of the servants in the family were soldiers who came from the military, and most of the weapons they used were the long spears of sabers that charged into battle. It was just that the spears were too stupid, so they cut short the spears because of sawing them, but the spears' spearheads were still about two feet long and not much shorter than the Xiuchun Knife's.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard's Xiuchun Knife was small and light, it was nimble, but it was at a disadvantage in defending against these heavy weapons. Every time it blocked a blow, it would have to retreat half a step. In just a short moment, Dongfang Zhongyue and the others were forced to return to the main entrance.
"Chief Flag, the situation isn't good!" Jin Shazhi shouted from the other side, "Think of something quickly?" The more he fought in the east, the more anxious he became. His blade was too short to reach his opponent, and the opponent was formed into a wall, unable to circle around to attack from behind. Just as he was about to be forced out of the gate, Dongfang Zhong suddenly mercilessly sent the Xiuchun Knife flying.
The Xiuchun Knife spun close to the ground and flew. This move was unexpected, but the person opposite of it was unable to block it. Two people's legs were struck squarely, and they fell to the ground while screaming in pain. This father will also change to a bigger one! Kill! " Dongfang Zhongyu picked up a three-ringed machete and roared as he charged into the crowd.
The three-ringed machete was quite heavy in his hand, so Dongfang Zhong's machete was slightly discounted. Even so, it was enough for the group of Li Clan slaves to receive three deaths and two injuries in a short period of time. The Li family servants retreated in shock. Zhong Yu from the east rushed back into the courtyard.
Li Jinglong was angrily shouting at the supervising battle from behind. His family servant steadied himself and once again surrounded him. The Dongfang Zhongyue couldn't care less and swung his broadsword left and right to kill. The pressure on the right side of the stick suddenly disappeared. He took a peek and saw Jin Shazhi holding a six-foot-long spear, continuously attacking the three or four servants and forcing them to retreat. However, he was quite adept with the left stab, the right pick, the top poke, and the bottom poke, and now and then he would drop the spearhead to use as a baton.
"Eh? It's a little strange! " Dongfang Zhongyu wondered: How could he use a gun? Except for the soldiers who charged into battle, very few people practiced using big spears. Before he had time to think further, a burst of shouts came from both sides of the street. Four or five people jumped in from all directions. It was the people from the 'War Flag' who had arrived.
The Li family had no choice but to deploy their men to resist. The pressure on the frontline immediately weakened a lot. The three people of Dongfang Zhongyue and Yue Jiangchuan became excited and started to move their swords and spears to attack.
Naturally, the greatest threat was the Eastern Sky King. The people he fought against hadn't been able to block three moves, and the Li family servants weren't afraid of being faked. They would only occasionally slash and pierce on both sides, and no one would dare to fight him head on.
Dongfang Zhongyu quickly rushed to the hall within 15 steps. A sturdy young man standing in front of Li Jinglong shouted and jumped down the stairs, raising his broadsword to meet the incoming attack.
"Get out of the way …" Get out of the way …! " The sturdy youth shouted in anger and dashed forward, raised his blade and chopped down. Dongfang Zhongyue brandished his sabre in a parry, and the two sabers made a loud sound when they collided. Dongfang Zhongyue felt a great force and couldn't help but take two or three steps back. He was shocked.
"Hehe …" You brat, you really know how to fight! Let's compete! " The sturdy youth spoke nonstop, raising his hands and chopping down with a blade above his head. His blade was much larger than the others. The handle was two feet long, and the blade was nearly five feet long. The thick blade on his back was gleaming with a cold light. It danced along with the sound of the wind.
Dongfang Zhongyue's strength was quite great, but he didn't think that his opponent would be so much stronger than him. This time, he didn't use force to block, instead, he used his sword to slash towards his left shoulder. The sturdy youth's slash missed and he immediately held up his blade's momentum, blocking the attack one step ahead of everyone else. Dongfang Zhongyue's slash had caused his arm to go numb. He couldn't help but praise, "Good knife skill!"
"The good ones are at the back! "Not many can take five moves from me, Li Biao. Let's see if you can do it." Li Biao dragged his broadsword and swung it towards Ye Zichen's waist. At the same time, another iron rod was thrown at Dongfang Zhongyue's calf.
The more he thought about it, the more Dongfang Zhong realized that things were not going well. He hurriedly jumped up with both of his feet. It had to be known that Li Biao's sabre was five feet long and his arm was three feet. Within a three feet radius, his attack range was the only thing that could dodge this move.
"Good boy, let's see where you can hide!" Li Biao swung his broadsword at Li Biao's thigh...
