The street patrol soldiers caught a barbarian who had escaped over the wall from the corner. The man had a high nose, curly hair, and was wearing a white robe. He staggered and was pushed in front of the officials.
The barbarian raised his hands subconsciously and said: "Dear envoys, I am not a demon, I am the Zhengzheng of this temple. I climbed out of the wall and came to report to the official! The great Sabao of our Sabao Mansion was
The demon is under control, please don't act rashly."
"What's the point!" An official from Youyi Mansion snorted and said, "The law of the Tang Dynasty has made it clear that those who take hostages will be attacked with the hostages."
Zhuo Zheng argued with a bitter face: "Da Sa Bao is not an ordinary hostage. He is Da Sa Bao. He only went to the palace to see the saint last year. The saint granted him the title of Sa Bao of Sa Bao Prefecture and controlled all Zoroastrian temples in Chang'an.
"
"No matter who you are, Tang Law is Tang Law. We just need to enforce the law impartially."
Hucao Luo, who had the highest rank in the middle, joined the army, with a serious face. He was looking at the Zoroastrian Temple in the distance coldly. When he heard Zouzheng's request, he suddenly lowered his head and said: "Not only can Sa Bao make mistakes, but also the evil spirits who commit crimes must
Gotta live.”
"What?" Not only the county lieutenant Zhang Hong, but also Wannian County Magistrate and Youyi Mansion officials were surprised. Youyi Mansion officials spread their hands and said: "What is this? You can't kill the perpetrator.
, how can the brothers below take action?"
Luo Shenjun glanced sideways at Youyi Mansion officials with slight dissatisfaction, and still said in a cold tone: "This is the prince's request, don't ask me."
"Let's discuss, how should people be caught? We can't kill the demon, but we must also prevent the demon from committing suicide."
Wannian County Magistrate thought for a moment, stroked his beard and said: "Then you can't bring sharp weapons in, and you can't have too many people. You need bold and skilled people to go."
County Lieutenant Zhang Hong made a cross-hand salute to the three Shangguan officials before he reported: "Three Shangguan officials, one of them has a low-level position and a bad commander. He is superb in martial arts and quick in action. He once served as a soldier in the Western Regions in Anxi for ten years. Maybe we can try
try."
Luo Shenjun nodded with conviction. Anxi Mansion fought all year round, and the conscripted soldiers narrowly escaped death. Those who could survive as soldiers in the Western Regions for ten years must be somewhat capable.
"Where is this man? Call him over."
After Zhang Hong received the approval, he immediately waved to Zhang Xiaojing, who was standing under the wall of the Zoroastrian Temple: "Zhang Xiaojing, come here!"
Zhang Xiaojing glanced warily, then walked towards the officials with steady steps. He bent down and crossed his arms in front of his chest in a salute: "I am a humble Zhang Xiaojing, and I am waiting for your orders."
Luo Canjun nodded slightly, lowered his head to look at Zhang Xiaojing, saw the faint glimmer in his single eye, and subconsciously turned his gaze away.
Zhang Hong walked up to Zhang Xiaojing first and said: "Zhang Xiaojing, I have asked you to come here for something important. Three demons have mixed up in this Zoroastrian temple and have kidnapped the Zoroastrian Dabaosatha. We must ensure that both the demon and Dabaosatha are alive. We want to send them
Come in, what do you think?"
Zhang Xiaojing frowned, these words sounded so awkward, the county lieutenant placed the demon in front of the Dabaosa, which meant that the demon's life was more important to them than the Zoroastrian Dabao.
He has heard of the weapon that throws away rats and avoids rats. What does it mean to throw away rats and avoid rats?
Zhang Xiaojing was no longer interested in being rewarded for meritorious service, otherwise he would not have been reduced from a high-ranking flying cavalry officer to a petty police chief. This kind of tying-up task was not his style. Thinking of this, he asked: "
Does the demon have weapons in his hands?"
The Youyi Mansion officials looked at each other and Luo Canjun, nodded and said, "Two barrier knives and an iron fork."
Zhang Xiaojing immediately crossed his hands and bowed: "Three criminals must be captured alive, which means they may commit suicide. If I don't bring a weapon, it will be like putting myself under the sword. Although I have practiced grabbing a white blade with my bare hands,
But it’s too difficult to face three people, so I apologize for my incompetence.”
Captain Zhang was immediately annoyed and pointed at him: "Zhang Xiaojing! You..."
However, Luo Shenjun pursed his lips slightly, waved his hand to stop Lieutenant Zhang from scolding, and showed a smile like a flower: "This request is a bit harsh, I will give you some relaxation conditions, at least to ensure that the demon leader is alive, remember, just alive
, The pain of the flesh and blood, the injuries to the muscles and bones, etc. are irrelevant. The last point is, you can choose from all the people here, there are still many talented people in Jinwu Guard Youyi Mansion."
Zhang Xiaojing's expression relaxed, he nodded and said, "Thank you for joining the army. I only need to take one person with me."
"Oh? Who is it?"
He turned around and looked at Li Siye, who was standing under the wall with his hands in his sleeves. He was looking up at the osmanthus tree sticking out of the wall, without any awareness of being at the scene of a serious crime.
"My bad guy, Li Siye."
Luo Canjun followed Zhang Xiaojing's gaze and looked at the wall of the Zoroastrian Temple. He saw a sturdy young man seven feet tall. His face looked like a Guanzhong person, but there was nothing special about him other than that.
County Lieutenant Zhang Hong was very worried about this: "Zhang Xiaojing, this matter is very important and there is no room for omissions. Is it inappropriate for you to use a person who has just joined the team two days ago?"
Zhang Xiaojing thought there was no need to explain, and said directly: "It's not inappropriate, Li Siye is the most suitable candidate."
"Okay," Luo Canjun believed in the one-eyed man in front of him and said with a smile, "When you catch him, I will reward him heavily."
Zhang Xiaojing came to the foot of the wall and asked Li Siye who was standing there: "Brother, can you take a white blade with your bare hands?"
Li Siye was surprised and asked: "What? What do you mean?"
Zhang Xiaojing: "The thing is like this..."
After listening to Zhang Xiaojing's narration, Li Siye thought to himself, aren't you trying to trick me? No wonder he has been so enthusiastic about him in the past two days, is he just waiting for it to be of great use?
He turned around and looked at the many Jin Wu guards wearing thin scale armor and carrying steel swords on their waists, and the Wuhou Fang Ding wearing cloth back armor and holding a big stick. Then he looked at the Gebu round collar robe he was wearing, and he felt a little bit confused.
Twisted. Instead of using the capital’s security forces and the royally paid police officers, the plainclothes captain and plainclothes police officers were allowed to go in and catch the serious criminals.
Faced with Li Siye's deflated expression, Zhang Xiaojing said helplessly: "Brother Siye, I have no one else available, so I recommended you to Zhang County Lieutenant." The law of the Tang Dynasty states that subordinates must not refuse to shirk matters assigned by superiors, otherwise they will be punished.
Being flogged in public.”
Isn't it just taking off the pants and spanking in front of everyone? Li Siye believed that the most severe part of this punishment was not the spanking, but the fact that everyone was watching. This was exposing the naked dignity of the person to the sun.
"Okay, what are your plans?" Li Siye asked in his own way.
"The gate of the Zoroastrian Temple has been closed. Let's jump in from the wall."
After Zhang Xiaojing said these words, he jumped up, put his hands on the top of the wall gently, and climbed over the wall with an indescribable grace.
Li Siye was stunned for a long time, and then followed closely, but the wall was too high. He took a few steps back, spit in his hands, threw himself to the wall, jumped up with his feet off the ground, and his straw sandals were on the wall.
It took him two times to catch the wall, but he was hanging on it, unable to go any further.
Li Siye had no choice but to lower his head and call out to the two Jinwu guards standing at the base of the wall: "Brother, hurry up and help me."
The two soldiers came over, held up the soles of Li Siye's feet, and stood on tiptoes before sending him to the top of the wall. When the officials riding horses in the distance saw this scene, they smacked their lips and frowned. Luo Canjun of Jingzhao Mansion
The cloud on his face became even worse, and Captain Zhang was so frightened that he hid aside for fear of being noticed by others for resisting the thunder.
Li Siye jumped off the wall and into the soft flower bed, landing very gently and steadily. Zhang Xiaojing squatted aside and carefully observed the architectural topography of the Zoroastrian Temple.
He was deeply impressed by Zhang Xiaojing's jumping ability and asked in surprise: "How did you jump up such a high wall?"
Zhang Xiaojing didn't look at him and replied: "Jump up with your feet."
Li Siye choked for a moment and closed his mouth wisely. Zhang Xiaojing, however, lowered his body and stared ahead with one eye, as if lying on the earth wall of Anxi to detect the enemy, but said in a low voice: "When you wear a fifty-year-old coat all year round
When you are charging and escaping on the battlefield with many kilograms of armor, you will realize how light your body is when you take off this armor in the future."
"Okay, let's start taking action. First, we will enter the Zoroastrian God Tower, the main hall of the Zoroastrian Temple. If the three demons are separated, it will be easier to handle. There are two of us, one for each. If they are together, we can only play by chance.
When acting, remember, try not to take human lives, the leader of the demon must survive."
Li Siye nodded to express his acceptance. He pulled out the sword and held it horizontally in his hand, eager to try it.
Zhang Xiaojing looked back at him and said with a cold expression: "If you don't know how to use a knife, don't take it out, you may hurt yourself."
Li Siye made two virtual chops left and right in the air to show that he was very familiar with it.
