Under the moonlight, the crossbow arrows dragged their shadows through the void, splitting the air and sending out short screams!
Qiu Shenji was so frightened that he lost his mind!
It’s actually the most powerful crossbow in the military?!
However, before his brain could react, there was a muffled "Puff, Puff, Puff" sound, and more than ten crossbow arrows had already been driven into his body...
"ah--"
Qiu Shenji only had time to let out an earth-shattering roar before he fell to the sky like a hedgehog and died on the spot.
The soldiers and Qiu family members who rushed out from the wings on both sides were horrified!
Look at the neat and tidy movements of this group of men in black, their advance and retreat are orderly, their aura is breathtaking, especially the powerful crossbows... this is an army!
Who actually sent troops to assassinate Qiu Shenji?!
The soldiers and the Qiu family will face the fierce attack and killing of the men in black, and they will immediately make completely different reactions...
The soldiers were just ordered to escort Qiu Shenji to the South China Sea. Even if Qiu Shenji died, everyone would just be punished after returning. They were beaten with military sticks against the sky, and their lives were still intact. However, at this moment, they were faced with a menacing man in black.
Man, look at the powerful crossbow in someone's hand. Isn't that killing someone?
So, when someone shouted, the soldiers immediately ran away like birds and beasts without saying a word...
They can escape, but the Qiu family generals cannot!
Of course they could have dispersed in a hurry, but now Qiu Shenji had been stabbed to death by thousands of arrows. Even if they escaped with their lives, what would happen to the parents, wives and children who stayed behind in the Qiu family?
According to Qiu Xinggong's always violent temperament, there is no reason for his family to survive. On the contrary, even if he died on the spot, his family would be treated well.
The generals of the Qiu family are all veterans of the military. Naturally, it can be seen that the group of men in black in front of them are fierce and well-equipped. But since there is no way to retreat, they must face them head-on!
When two armies meet, the brave one wins!
The leader of the men in black snorted coldly when he saw the Qiu generals' fearless charge. He raised his hand and shouted: "Prepare - let go!"
"Boom!"
Another round of crossbow arrows was fired, and no matter how fierce the courage was, it could not withstand the fine steel arrow clusters that penetrated the body and tore the flesh and bones. The Qiu family generals screamed and fell to the ground, and the remaining ones were filled with blood. Although their courage was exhausted, so was Jin.
To die, to retreat is to die, so why not die on the way to charge?!
The man in black showed admiration. No matter whether he is in desperate situation or not, a warrior who can face life and death must be respected.
Although the crossbow has great lethality, its shortcoming is that the arrow reloading speed is too slow. After two rounds of shooting, it is too late to reload the arrow. The leader of the man in black clenched the horizontal knife and uttered one word coldly: "Kill!"
"kill!"
The man in black behind him let out a muffled roar. He formed a strict formation and walked vigorously. He waved his sword and faced him...
With a "Crack" sound, Qiu Jiajia, who was rushing at the front, tried his best to slash the horizontal knife in his hand at the enemy, but was stunned to find that the enemy raised the horizontal knife to block it, and the horizontal knife in his hand was cut off.
Two cuts, and then in his disbelief, the enemy's horizontal knife cut off his neck.
How can this be?
What I have in my hand is the military standard horizontal sword...
This was the last doubt, because his head had already flown into the sky.
The generals of the Qiu family rushed up screaming, while the men in black silently fought. The encounter lasted only a few dozen breaths. The two sides were separated at the first touch, and the battle was over.
The leader of the men in black looked at the corpses everywhere indifferently and ordered: "Collect the corpses to see if they slipped through the net. Gather the corpses, dispose of the scene, and then burn them all."
"Here!"
More than a dozen men in black put their swords into sheaths, and a few of them searched the rooms one by one. The others rushed out and pulled out all the crossbow arrows from the corpse, and then dragged the corpse to Qiu Shenji's room.
He poured the slightly sticky black oil in the bamboo tube hanging on the side of his lower waist on the walls, furniture, and corpses, then exited the room, took out a fire stick from his arms, blew it, and threw it into the house.
"Peng"!
There was a soft sound, and the fire ignited instantly. Within a few breaths, the fire was raging and smoke was billowing.
The raging fire reflected brilliant light on the eyes of the leader of the men in black. He waved his hand and shouted softly: "Retreat!"
A group of people came and went like the wind, quickly disappearing into the night at Xijin Ferry.
By the time the garrison soldiers at Xijin Ferry rushed to the scene, there was no one left, leaving only the raging fire and billowing smoke, covering most of Xijin Ferry...
*****
Chang'an.
July is full of fire and summer is scorching hot.
But it did not stop the students' enthusiasm at all...
Because the imperial examination has gradually attracted the attention of aristocratic families and students from poor families, it is regarded as a way to become an official except for "recommendation" and "advice". Countless students from poor families have passed the examination one year or more before the Spring Festival.
He rushed to Chang'an on time, partly to familiarize himself with the climate and food in the capital, and partly because he was worried that the road to the capital would be steep and long, in case some accident happened on the way and the exam would be delayed.
Compared with those children from aristocratic families, students from poor families have to bear great pressure in life when they go to the capital. "Living in a long-term residence is not easy." The high prices make most students from poor families barely able to afford food and accommodation.
I no longer have enough money to participate in some entertainment activities.
Some students even have to find a job as a scribe or accounting clerk in order to maintain their life in Beijing...
Humans are social animals and subconsciously yearn for interactions with the same kind. However, gathering places such as teahouses and restaurants are expensive. How can we afford this money? Under such circumstances, students from poor families often look for a place in the green hills outside the city.
In places with green water, small and large groups gather together to talk about poems, songs, classics, and history books, and exchange experiences and answer questions.
However, in recent days, these poor students staying in Beijing have given up on outdoor recreation outside the city with green trees, small bridges and flowing water. Instead, they have gone to the Military Department Yamen in groups to admire the "shocking" legendary scroll.
…
"Tsk, tsk, although Fang Erlang's usual behavior makes me disagree, but this calligraphy achievement alone makes me very impressed. He can be called the master of calligraphy in the world!"
"Look at the word 'no'. The horizontal line is surprisingly long and beyond the norm. Most people would never write it this way. But when you look at it from top to bottom, it looks simple, majestic and powerful."
"It's more than that. Look, every time the words "Piu" and "Nu" are written in the character Fang Erlang, they are not dragged downwards, but stretched to the left and right. The ends of "Piu" and "Nu" can be said to be opened.
Extreme. Written in this way, a lot of space is left for the strokes covered by the strokes, so that they can fully express their respective postures, enhance the momentum of indulgence, and appear free and generous."
"You are truly a genius! I heard that Fang Erlang is not usually too hard-working. He spends far more time playing with knives and sticks than writing, but he is able to find his own way. With such a talent, you
What else can I say besides sighing?"
Twenty or thirty students gathered around the entrance of the military department, looking up at the banner hanging on the wall, shaking their heads in admiration.
Someone said: "Are you just paying attention to how the font of this calligraphy is outstanding? Haha, in someone's opinion, the handwriting of this calligraphy is certainly neat and beautiful, but the meaning of this calligraphy is even more powerful enough to be passed down to future generations and cited as a masterpiece.
Good story!"
Only when he said this did others wake up.
"Yes, yes, [Shaofu prisoner and dogs are not allowed], haha, he is indeed the most talented man in the world. Although there is only one word 'dog' in the whole article and there are no insulting words, there is a strong sense of contempt and contempt between the lines.
When written on paper, this is more powerful than a hundred dirty words!"
Everyone agreed.
It’s no wonder that after being disgraced in this way, the young eunuch fell ill when he returned home. He even heard that he had written to His Majesty requesting to retire and serve...
How shameless to face Mr. Jiangdong!
While everyone was talking in amazement, they suddenly saw a pair of cavalry galloping from a distance. When they arrived at the entrance of the military department, they all reined in their reins and jumped off their horses. A sturdy guard surrounded an eunuch and walked quickly towards them.
door.
The students who were watching at the door quickly moved to both sides and found a way out.
The eunuch was kind, with a smile on his fair, beardless face, and he nodded frequently to the students. When he reached the door, he glanced at the words posted on the wall next to the door, then turned around and said to the guard behind him:
"Hurry, take it off."
"Here!"
The guard responded, then walked to the bottom of the wall and reached out to uncover the banner that read "Prisoners and dogs of the young master are not allowed to enter"...
When the students saw it, they were shocked. The brave ones stepped forward and asked, "May I ask this angel why he removed this banner?"
