The man in black fired several swords in succession, forcing Xu Ying to retreat a distance, then jumped up and kicked off the wall with one foot, and he jumped up to the top of the wall. Xu Ying followed closely behind, leaping up, and he was in the air.
, swung a sword at the man in black. The man in black hurriedly bent down to dodge. When Xu Ying was falling, he grabbed the man in black's trouser legs and used the inertia of landing to pull the man in black off the wall.
Come down. The man in black shouted angrily and stabbed Xuying three times with his sword.
Xuying swung his sword three times in a tit-for-tat manner, and there were three crisp sounds, and three sparks suddenly appeared between the two of them. Xuying handed the sword forward, with the sword in front and the person behind.
The swords united like an arrow from the string, and shot straight at the man in black.
The man in black did not dare to resist his confusion and quickly dodged to the side. Just when the sword was about to hit the wall, Xuying turned around and stepped on the wall with both feet. The man in black reflected back again and ran straight towards the wall.
People leave.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ying's skills were so good. The man in black was startled and dodged again, but this time a little slower. The sword edge picked up the scarf on his face, and along with it, cut a long line of blood on his cheek.
Kouzi.
The man in black who revealed his lineup was none other than Luo You's senior brother, Du Qing. Du Qing secretly gritted his teeth, roared, and rushed towards Xu Ying with his sword. He pulled out seven sword flowers in the air and attacked in unison.
Xiang Xuying's vital points all over his body.
Xu Ying's figure was like a ghost. She turned around and disappeared inexplicably in front of Du Qing.
Du Qing was horrified. Before he could react, he suddenly heard an evil wind behind him. He didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly put the sword in his hand back.
Hearing a bang in his ear, Xu Ying dodged behind Du Qing and kicked the surface of his sword. Due to its inertia, Du Qing's body flew forward involuntarily, and he was about to get a head start.
After hitting the wall, he shrunk his neck, hunched up into a ball, and hit the wall sideways to minimize the impact damage he received.
Bang! With a muffled sound, the impact was so powerful that the courtyard wall shook.
Du Qing shook his head and regained some consciousness. Xu Ying rushed forward again like a shadow. He struck twice with his sword from above and a sweep of his leg from below, hitting Du Qing's ankle.
Bang! Du Qing screamed strangely, his body was knocked sideways, and he fell heavily to the ground. Before he could stand up, he felt a chill on his neck. It turned out that Xuying's sword was already pressed against his throat.
Xuying forced Du Qing with his sword and shouted in a deep voice: "Take it down!"
Following his words, two county soldiers quickly ran forward, knocked down Du Qing's sword, pulled him up from the ground, pulled his shoulders and back, and tied him tightly.
Du Qing was still struggling hard, Xu Ying handed the sword forward slightly, and the blade immediately pierced the skin of Du Qing's throat, and blood flowed out. Du Qing glared at Xu Ying, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes
If you sow it, you will kill me!"
Xuying laughed out loud and said: "Kill you? The person waiting for you in the palace will probably be very distressed, right?!"
When Du Qing heard this, his face suddenly changed. Could it be that...they knew about him and his junior sister, and that his junior sister had fallen into their hands? Thinking of this, Du Qing's eyes turned red, and he roared and rushed towards Xuying.
The latter laughed out loud and took back his sword. Without saying a word, the county soldiers on both sides aimed at Du Qing's lower abdomen and punched each one.
Du Qing's hands were restrained and he received two heavy punches. Of course, it felt uncomfortable. The pain made his waist bend down and his facial features distorted.
The battle on Xuying's side was over, and the battles for others were almost in progress. The shopkeeper and several clerks of Yeshe were either killed or restrained. The dozen or so men in black who tried to escape had already
Nine people fell to the ground, while the others were tightly surrounded by numerous county soldiers.
Not far from Xuying, a man in black was surrounded by more than a dozen county soldiers. The county soldiers all held shields in one hand and spears in the other. No matter which direction the man in black rushed in, he would always be waiting for him.
It is a long shield array, and there are spears thrust out from the shield array.
As the encirclement of the county soldiers became smaller and smaller, the man in black's space for movement was also greatly restricted.
"Kill -" someone among the county soldiers roared, and several spears thrust out from the gaps in the shield, all stabbing at the man in black. The latter shouted and swung his sword with all his strength.
Click, click, click, the spears that stabbed him broke off one after another. Before he could catch his breath, a second wave of spears came at him again. He repeated his old trick and cut off the surrounding spears again.
Losing the spear weapons in their hands, the surrounding county soldiers drew their swords in unison. They held shields in one hand and swords in the other, and continued to approach the man in black.
The man in black exerted all his strength and continuously fired his swords in all directions. The clanging sound was endless, but he could not break through the shield formation formed by the county soldiers at all.
People carried shields and forced them to approach the man in black, squeezing him with their shields and imprisoning him. At the same time, they stabbed him with their swords.
The man in black could not block the front but could not block the back, and the left could not block the right. Puff, puff, puff, the muffled sound of the sword entering the body came one after another. In the blink of an eye, at least a dozen bloody holes were stabbed in the body of the man in black.
This is the most common coordination used by county soldiers in combat. No matter how powerful you are, you will first use a shield to limit your movement space, then gradually shrink the encirclement, making you unable to move, and finally give you a fatal blow.
Except for the man in black who was shot and killed, all the other men in black basically died in this way at the hands of county soldiers.
Seeing that Xuying was looking at him seriously, Zhang Bi stepped forward and explained with a smile on his face: "General Xuying, I have a lot of friends from the martial arts world. On weekdays, I often invite my friends from the martial arts world to the county government.
, let the brothers below compete with them. The most effective way to deal with these martial arts warriors is to work together to annihilate them!"
Xuying nodded and had to admit that the individual combat power of Luoyang County soldiers was not weak, but this was not their strongest point. Their strongest point was their skillful cooperation. They didn't even need to speak to each other.
You can understand the intentions of your companions by looking at them.
This kind of tacit understanding is not something you are born with, but is gradually cultivated after a long period of repeated training.
It can also be seen from this that Zhang Ben has indeed worked hard on the county soldiers under his command. The intensity of training on weekdays is probably several times or even ten times harder than that of lieutenants in the army.
Xuying is a person who rarely praises others, but this time he acted with the county government, and Zhang Bi left a deep impression on him. A smile appeared on his cold face, and he praised: "Not bad."
His words of "not bad" made Zhang Ben smile from ear to ear.
People like Long Yuan and Xuying are not only the guards and followers around the emperor, but also close ministers, brothers who are as close as brothers. The appreciation of Xuying is not much different from the appreciation of the emperor.
Xu Ying's praise made Zhang Bi feel as if he had been given a shot of blood. He was in a state of ecstasy. He held the hilt of his sword, took a few steps forward, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, please do it."
I'll work harder, no one is allowed to escape! Lao Lu, take your people and search everywhere, don't let a fish slip through the net, go quickly!"
Zhang Ben commanded his county soldiers with high spirits. He was full of energy, and the county soldiers worked harder and harder, all scrambling for performance.
The entire county soldier system gives Xuying and others the feeling that it is full of vitality and the end of striving for upwards.
This time Xu Ying, Xu Ting, and Xu Fei jointly cooperated with the county government, and it was a great success. In the entire Tongfu Residence, no one, no matter whether they were real residents or fake residents, escaped. They either died fighting or died.
He was captured alive by county soldiers.
Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei also made a special inspection tour and were very satisfied with the performance of the county soldiers. When they were walking out, Xuying said meaningfully to Zhang Ben who was walking beside him: "Now is the time.
When His Majesty employs people, although Magistrate Dong enforces the law strictly and is not afraid of power, he still adheres to the concept of not seeking merit, but seeking no faults. At best, he is acting wisely to protect himself; at worst, he is unwilling to make progress.
You are different, your road in the future will be much longer and broader than that of Magistrate Dong."
Zhang Ben's eyes were wet with emotion. He bowed and said: "General Xuying, I am your majesty. I will do whatever I want to do without any hesitation!"
Xuying smiled, turned to look at him, and patted his shoulder.
Zhang Bi cleared his throat and whispered: "The position of Luoyang County Magistrate is not easy to sit in. If you don't enforce the law seriously, you will offend the emperor. If you enforce the law seriously, you will offend the powerful people in the dynasty. It's not that Magistrate Dong doesn't want to be promoted, but he knows very well.
There is no chance of promotion at all. It’s not that Magistrate Dong doesn’t want to make progress, but he has offended too many powerful people, so he can only be cautious and walk on thin ice. If he makes a slight mistake, he may be caught.
He was impeached by the officials and will never recover."
His words moved Xu Ying. Not because of Zhang Bi's evaluation of Dong Xuan, but because Zhang Bi was willing to speak for Dong Xuan. It is said that Zhang Bi is a very loyal person. Now it seems that this person is indeed
Very loyal.
Xuying's impression of Zhang Bi deepened. He nodded with a smile, said nothing more, and continued to walk forward.
Let’s talk about the palace.
After Luo You was taken away by Zhang Kun, Yin Lihua couldn't calm down. When it got dark and Luo You hadn't come back yet, Yin Lihua finally couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and went to Qingliang Hall.
On the way, Xueying and Hongjian were not idle. They said to each other: "My lord, no matter how big the matter is, after such a long time, Your Majesty should let Luo You come back!"
"My lord, do you still think that Luo You has not seduced His Majesty? She has stayed with His Majesty for so long, she...she..." What should have happened has probably already happened.
Yin Lihua never said a word.
Arriving at Qingliang Hall, Zhang Kun invited Yin Lihua into the main hall. Liu Xiu was sitting in the main hall reviewing memorials. When he saw Yin Lihua coming in from the outside, he put down the memorials and said with a smile: "Lihua, you are here."
"Your Majesty!" Yin Lihua first saluted, then looked to Liu Xiu's left and right, but could not find Luo You at all. She subconsciously glanced at the inner room and asked: "Your Majesty, is Luo You in the inner room?"
?”
Liu Xiu, who had been busy with official duties all afternoon, had long forgotten about Luo You. When Yin Lihua suddenly mentioned Luo You, he looked confused and asked: "Luo You?"
Seeing this, Yin Lihua was quite annoyed. You summoned Luo You to the Qingliang Hall, and now you are still pretending to be confused with yourself? She walked directly to the inner room. When Zhang Kun saw this, he was about to stop him, but his outstretched hand stopped him.
Shrank back.
Yin Lihua walked to the door of the inner room, turned to look at Liu Xiu, and reached out to push the door open. What surprised her, Xueying, Hongjian, and Li Xiu'e was that there was no one in the inner room of Qingliang Hall. There was no one at all.
Luo You's figure.
Luo You was not in Qingliang Hall, which made Yin Lihua look confused. Xueying, Hongjian, and Li Xiu'e were also surprised and shocked.
Liu Xiu walked up to Yin Lihua and said with a smile: "Lihua should look for Luo You in the West Palace. Why did she come to me to look for her?"
Yin Lihua was almost angry. It was Luo You who you summoned away today, but Luo You has not returned to the West Palace until now. If I don't come to you, who else will I go to?
She frowned and said: "After His Majesty summoned Luo You, she has not returned to the West Palace. I would like to know where Luo You is now."
Liu Xiu blinked and suddenly remembered that this was the case. He turned to look at Zhang Kun and asked, "Zhang Kun, where is Luo You now?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, reporting to your noble lord, Luo You... Luo You is currently being tried in Yeting Prison!"
