C342 (1/2)
Just as the two guards drew their swords, Fei Hong had already rushed to their sides and punched the guards on the left. With a crisp sound, a few of the guards' ribs were broken, causing him to scream in pain. Just as the guard bowed, Fei Hong had already snatched his blade away.
”Clang …”
Just at the moment when Fei Hong was seizing the blade, the right guard's blade came flying over. Fei Hong who had been through the battlefield for a long time heard the wind from the blade and raised his hand to block, just in time to block the blade edge of the guard. Fei Hong casually pushed the guard on the left to the front of the guard on the right.
The right guard was stunned for a moment before retracting the saber in his hand. Just as he retracted his blade, the blade in Fei Hong's hand stabbed forward fiercely, like a bolt of lightning, the right guard's neck was instantly sliced off by Fei Hong, the blood column sprayed out.
As Jian Shuo was sitting on the mat, when Liang Ming threw himself in front of him, Jian Shuo's blade had not yet been drawn. Liang Ming first threw a right fist into Jian Shuo's waist ruthlessly. Before Jian Shuo could scream, his left hand grabbed Jian Shuo's hair and twisted fiercely, he heard the bones in Jian Shuo's neck break.
Just then, Pan Yin, who heard the shout, rushed in, followed by a dozen soldiers behind him. But when they saw the scene in the room, they were stunned for a moment. Fei Hong and Liang Ming jumped over, with one hand holding Jian Shuo's head and the other holding onto his blade, they stood in front of Zhang Banxian.
The Zhang Banxian stood up without any hurry, his left hand trembled slightly, and an imperial edict appeared in his hand. Zhang Banxian's face was cold as ice as she shouted: ”Jian Shuo is conspiring, he is being ordered to kill, whoever dares to stop him will be punished according to the terms of his conspiracy, he will be exterminated.”
At this moment, the sound of fighting also came from downstairs. It turned out to be the Youzhou soldiers who were lying in ambush on the streets. According to the agreement, they had rushed in a short while after Zhang Banxian, Fei Hong, and Liang Ming had entered the Moon Slaughter Tower, and were currently fighting against the Western Gardens Soldiers guards on the first floor.
”Are you planning to rebel?” Seeing that Pan Yin and the others were still blocking the entrance, the Zhang Banxian asked coldly.
The soldiers of the West Garden Army were either the descendants of famous families, or the sons of fallen soldiers, or the Scholar s of Henan, Henan, and Henan. Although they might not be able to fight, but they were very loyal to the Darky Court. Especially towards the Emperor's decree, they didn't dare disobey it at all.
And the commander, Pan Yin, was one of Jian Shuo's helpers. The two were very close friends, and when Jian Shuo wanted to kill He Jin, he was the one who made a beheading gesture towards He Jin. Only then did he remind He Jin, allowing He Jin to escape from the Imperial Palace, only then did he pick up his life.
”Get out of the way!” Those who block me, die! ” Liang Ming bellowed, holding Jian Shuo's head in one hand and his blade in the other, he stared at the Western Gardens Soldiers cultivators fiercely and walked forward.
Those Western Gardens Soldiers s looked at each other in dismay. They couldn't help but retreat and not long later, opened a path. Zhang Banxian brought Fei Hong and Liang Ming out, but no one stopped them.
Pan Yin seemed to have woken up from his stupor and brought the soldiers to follow behind the Zhang Banxian and the rest. He was also a Scholar, and participating in the West Garden Army was equivalent to seeking a way out for him to be promoted. Although Jian Shuo trusted him a lot, there was no need for him to be buried for Jian Shuo.
Moreover, he was He Jin's friend, and Jian Shuo was He Jin's enemy. Now that Jian Shuo's head had been chopped off, he had to think of a way to notify He Jin immediately. This was a great contribution, this time He Jin would definitely use him heavily.
”Stop! Hands on mine! ” Following Pan Yin's explosive shout, the great hall immediately quietened down. All of the Western Gardens Soldiers s kept their weapons and turned to look at Pan Yin. Pan Yin cleared his throat and said loudly: ”We have orders to kill Jian Shuo, everyone step back.”
Western Gardens Soldiers was stunned for a moment. They were truly unsure whether it was Pan Yin who ordered Jian Shuo's death, or that group of people with unknown identities who ordered Jian Shuo's death. They could only watch as that group of people with unknown identities walked out of the Moon Tower and left.
Pan Yin rushed out of the Moon Pavilion, and when he saw Zhang Banxian and the rest had already gone far away, he immediately looked around. Suddenly, he saw a middle-aged merchant who was driving a carriage over. He rushed over and grabbed the horse reins: ”Get off quickly. Let me borrow your horse.”
The middle-aged merchant was scared out of his wits when he saw a high-ranking officer with a saber stop the carriage. In this day and age, merchants were the weakest of the vulnerable, and even peasants were inferior to them. Seeing an officer borrowing a horse, how could he dare to refuse? He quickly said, ”Please feel free to go.”
Pan Yin did not stand on ceremony with him, he cut the rope on the horse in one slash, then jumped onto the horse and ran away. The West Garden Army people that followed Pan Yin looked at each other, staring blankly at the distant Pan Yin, they did not know what to do.
Pan Yin sprinted all the way, shocking the people on both sides of the street to the point that they had to step aside. A few elders who couldn't dodge in time were knocked onto the ground by him, but he didn't even spare them a glance. Right now, he only had one goal, and that was to quickly rush to the northern troop camp and be the first to inform He Jin about the news of Jian Shuo's death.
