In addition, there are several nearby countries, such as Baiyue, Goguryeo, Turks, Japan, etc. These countries have always been eyeing the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If they knew about the internal chaos of the Tang Dynasty, they would definitely take the opportunity to attack.
Under the circumstances of internal and external troubles, the Tang Dynasty would fall into disaster no matter how good its foundation was. The economy it had finally established suffered a heavy setback, the people were displaced, and the country's comprehensive strength declined.
This is the last thing Muchuan wants to see. After all, he is doing well as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and living a comfortable life. He does not want to go through wars and travel around.
When Muchuan was worried, the carriage he was driving suddenly stopped.
Being hit by the inertial impact, Muchuan's body leaned forward heavily, and then he asked in shock: "What happened!"
Temujin Dali, who was driving outside, said in a panic: "Sir... Sir, it's bad, someone is blocking us."
"Which idiot dares to stop us! You are seeking death!"
Muchuan cursed and ran out, only to find a man wearing a blue white tiger official robe.
The man has a beard, a strong back and a strong waist, and wears a black square hat on his head. Isn't this man Hou Junji?
Chen Guogong Hou Junji, one of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, was blocking Muchuan's approach at this time, and there were six guards with swords around him.
"I wonder who he is?
It turned out to be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."
Hou Junji said very arrogantly, "Shang Shu, are you too courageous?
Could it be that he doesn’t know the palace rules?
This is the palace road, and only His Majesty's golden carriage can clear the way. What do you mean by driving so fast?
Could it be that I am inferior to Your Majesty?"
"It turns out it's Chen Guogong... Chen Guogong misunderstood. I have something urgent!"
At that moment, Muchuan told him that the emperor would probably be assassinated, but when he said this, Hou Junji laughed.
"I asked what it was, but it turned out to be such a ridiculous and unruly thing!"
Hou Junji said in a sonorous voice, "Your Majesty is always guarded by the Yulin Army and dozens of military attachés who are highly skilled in martial arts. How can an ordinary little thief be able to assassinate you?"
I think it’s Master Mu who committed the following offense on purpose!”
Hou Junji did not listen to the explanation. With a wave of his hand, he ordered six guards to rush forward and catch Muchuan.
The six guards had sharp eyes and raised their swords, and suddenly the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Temujin looked at Muchuan with great anxiety: "Sir, what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Just knock down these people!"
If someone wanted to arrest Muchuan at ordinary times, Muchuan would just surrender. After all, he was upright and had a clear conscience. Even if someone caught him, he would not let him go in the end.
But this time it involved Li Shimin's safety and no delay was allowed. Naturally, Muchuan could not waste time with Hou Junji.
Temujin Dali was very excited after listening to Muchuan's order. He had long wanted to fight with the palace guards. Now when he saw a group of guards rushing up, he jumped from the carriage to fight.
The first ones to launch a powerful attack on Temujin were the two guards, who raised their blades and chopped them down.
Temujin turned sideways to avoid one of the swords. Then he put his hands into the wrist of another guard. With a fierce grab, he successfully grabbed the weapon from the guard's hand.
Two guards on the left and right raised their swords to chop at them. Temujin grabbed the weapons and immediately blocked them. He swung his swords on each side and caught all the falling blades.
"drink!"
Temujin kicked him hard, and the guard closest to him flew four meters backwards and fell heavily onto the palace road.
Afterwards, Temujin vigorously used another roundhouse kick, and another guard was kicked out.
After all, these guards were quite capable in martial arts, but they were incomparable to Temujin's strength. Temujin's strength alone could completely overwhelm the guards due to his physical superiority.
Hou Junji looked annoyed. These guards had undergone rigorous training, but they ended up fighting so awkwardly against Muchuan's men?
It really loses Hou Junji’s face!
"They are really a bunch of losers, can't they beat six people against one person?
Let me do it instead!”
Hou Junji was a military officer. When he was young, he followed Li Shimin and led troops to fight in all directions. He made numerous military exploits and was awarded the title of General Youwei, which made him famous.
Now seeing how useless his men were, Hou Junji decided to take action in person. Holding an iron knife, he quickly ran in front of Temujin Dali, raising the blade to attack.
Temujin Dali was fighting with other guards. Hou Junji's sudden attack caught him off guard, especially since the opponent's iron sword was attacking his back. Given his condition, he was bound to be hit by the knife if he couldn't dodge it.
Just then Muchuan appeared, picked up an iron knife from the ground and rushed over to block Temujin's attack. With a "clang" sound, Muchuan successfully caught Hou Junji's blade.
"Mr. Chen Guogong, are you trying to make a sneak attack?
This is a disservice to your reputation as Duke Chen."
"Mu Chuan, you are just a junior, how dare I be so presumptuous."
"Chen Guogong, you and I are both third-rank officials, why am I so presumptuous?
Moreover, if you don’t give in, Mr. Chen Guo, when something happens to the emperor, I’m afraid even having your whole family executed will not be able to make up for it.”
"I act according to the palace rules, but I can't bear to hear you talking nonsense!"
Hou Junji raised his iron sword, activated his muscles, and slashed at him with one blow.
The opponent's style of fighting is simply using brute force to fight. Although it looks inferior, the effect is surprisingly amazing.
When Muchuan raised his iron sword to receive the opponent's attack, it took a lot of effort just to defend and he couldn't fight back at all.
However, Muchuan was not at all helpless. After taking a few moves from Hou Junji, he saw through the opponent's flaws.
When Hou Junji swings his sword, there will be a pause of three milliseconds in every move. As his physical strength is lost, his pause time becomes longer and longer.
After swiping twelve attacks at this time, Hou Jun's pause in concentration had extended to one second.
Although one second is short, it can make Muchuan do many things.
System ability, combat mode sword technique! Muchuan activated the ability, and his body functions were instantly blessed, making him as light as a swallow.
When Hou Junji raised his sword to strike at him, Muchuan tightened his leg muscles and stepped forward with a lunge, turning quickly, avoiding the opponent's attack and appearing behind Hou Junji.
When Hou Junji reacted, he quickly turned around and swung his knife to attack Muchuan, but it was too late. Muchuan took a step ahead and hit the opponent's back hard with the back of the knife. Hou Junji received a blunt blow.
