The Imperial City of Dai Viet Kingdom has towering walls and extraordinary momentum.
The city is also a bustling scene, with rows of houses and criss-crossing streets.
Early in the morning, the street was full of people coming and going, making it quite lively.
Gui Che has been the fake emperor for ten years. Although he does a lot of bad things behind the scenes, he is still considerate of the people on the surface, especially the people in the capital, just like he did when the late emperor was there.
After all, it comes to the human world to have fun, so how can it have fun if it kills everyone?
So even though it is hell on earth outside the capital, the world inside the city is still a world of flowers and flowers.
From high-ranking officials to ordinary people, it is time to eat, drink, and have fun. It is quite a prosperous time.
Although there have long been rumors that the emperor was a monster in disguise, they were just rumors after all and should not be taken seriously.
And even if it were true, how many people would dare to conquer demons?
Besides, this emperor had no excessive behavior except that he was a little more violent than before and would often kill several ministers to establish his authority.
In other places, boys and girls must be handed over to the palace every three years, but the people in the capital do not have this burden.
Therefore, no one in the imperial city said anything wrong with the Holy One. On the contrary, there were endless voices praising his virtues, which made the ghost car quite proud...
The city gate opened the moment the sun rose, and most of the people coming in and out were traders and travelers.
At this moment, two men in white robes were seen walking slowly from a distance.
Although they didn't have weapons in their hands, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate immediately became nervous.
Yes, these two guys are no ordinary people at first glance.
A face as black as coal and a body like an iron tower, the ground beneath his feet would tremble slightly with every step he took.
Although he has a thin body, his face wears a metal mask that changes color at any time.
A pair of eyes sparkling, making people dare not look into them.
Behind the two men was a large dog with a hunched back, narrow waist, sharp muzzle and long tail.
He walked with light steps and made no sound.
"Stop, what are you doing!" the officers and soldiers shouted and surrounded them at the same time.
"As a tribute." The masked man agreed and continued walking forward.
"Send, send filial piety?" The leading school officer was startled, then realized, isn't this white robe a filial piety dress, and quickly asked: "Who are you sending filial piety to?"
"Here you are, Your Majesty!" This was what the big man said. Before he finished speaking, he pulled all the soldiers aside with his hands.
Ding-dong-dang-dang!
The armor fell to the ground and the weapons broke.
Some people were lame, some had lost their arms, and there was a chaos of howling and howling ghosts.
There were still officers and soldiers on the city tower. At this moment, they shouted and fired arrows at the same time. But wherever they could hit someone, they saw two mourners passing through the city gate with the big dog, running toward the Eagle Tower.
.
Well, there are no high-rise buildings in the city, even the tallest building in the palace is only three floors.
Therefore, the Eagle Tower, which is more than ten stories high, looks particularly abrupt. You can see it as soon as you enter the city gate.
The tower looks like a giant vulture.
The whole body is pitch black and extremely eerie.
Its location is at the main entrance of the Royal Palace, which is also the finish line of Royal Street.
I used to be able to see the palace at a glance while walking on the Royal Street, but now I can't see it.
Anyone who wants to enter the palace must first go around the Eagle Tower.
The gate of the tower is closed all year round and no one can enter.
There are no windows in the tower, only a small door at the top.
Inside the door is an eagle's nest, and a group of three strange birds always come in and out on weekdays.
The number remains constant at nine, and there have been neither more nor fewer in the past ten years.
They usually only fly around the Eagle Tower, neither disturbing people nor damaging other buildings.
So as time went by, the people became accustomed to it.
Then I don't know who started it, saying that this strange bird is a sacred object, and offering incense can bring good luck.
So the bottom of the Eagle Tower was filled with incense and candle offerings, which has now become a major local custom.
Although it is morning now, there are already many pilgrims.
Waves of smoke rose up, covering the tower loomingly.
The nine strange birds on the top of the tower usually still sleep in the eagle's nest at this time, but now they all came out and stood in a row on the platform on the top of the tower, with three heads and six eyes looking straight at the city. Door direction.
Chen Yan and Lu Xiaojun were also watching them. They put on their armors and just took out their sledgehammers when nine strange birds pounced down.
Ping ping ping pong!
He raised the hammer and dropped it, and in the blink of an eye they were all killed.
Well, even though they are door handles for ghost cars, and they all have an extra head, they still can't withstand the beatings of four sledgehammers.
Especially with Chen Yan's hammer, he was so close to death that he didn't even have a chance to escape.
The people were all frightened.
What the hell is going on?
Do you dare to fight the "magic bird"? You are too brave!
A few pilgrims, not knowing whether they were old and confused or just burning incense, rushed up to try to reason, but were kicked out of sight by Lu Xiaojun.
Well, I flew directly over the rooftops on the street without even hearing the sound of landing.
"Kill, don't let the thieves escape——!" Officers and soldiers came from all directions. In addition to dozens of city defense troops, most of them were ordinary soldiers patrolling the streets and police officers from the yamen.
The fighting ability of this group of people is mediocre, and they will die if they come up.
However, they also knew this, so there were few people who dared to move forward even though the thunder was heavy and the rain was light.
At this moment, I saw a guy running a few steps behind Chen Xiaoqiang's butt. I don't know whether he was pushed under his feet or pushed by someone.
Then before he could stop, his neck was bitten off by the barking dog.
Chen Xiaoqiang's murderous intention is actually much more serious than Lu Xiaojun's.
And it doesn't have the ability to kick people away, so it just greets people with its teeth.
After biting it, he walked away without looking back.
The officers and soldiers were so frightened that they all stopped and some people peed on the spot.
This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a ferocious and cruel dog. Fortunately, I was running slowly just now, otherwise my head would be moved now.
At this time, Lu Xiaojun had already arrived in front of the Eagle Tower door and kicked down the heavy iron door with his foot.
There was a loud bang, shaking the ground several times.
As soon as the door opened, a high-pitched and loud singing voice immediately came from inside: "I am a little bird...I want to fly, but I can't fly high no matter what I do!"
The sound was slightly dull and had a metallic echo.
After taking a closer look, it turned out that it was coming from a large copper bell.
This bronze bell must have been cast specially, it looks extremely heavy.
There is a thick iron chain on each of the four corners, which is firmly locked on the four iron ground stakes.
There was no one in the tower, so Lu Xiaojun rushed in, broke the four iron chains with a hammer, and lifted the bell, when a big snake suddenly jumped out.
The calf was caught off guard and its nose was bitten.
Chen Yan was behind, and he quickly broke the snake's body with his hammers.
But the snake's head still held on, and the pain caused Lu Xiaojun to loosen his right hand, and the bell fell back again.
