Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1521 Assassination
Under the moonlight, that crossbow arrow dragged the phantom through the void, splitting the air and sending out a short scream!

Qiu Shenji was scared out of his wits!
It's actually a powerful crossbow in the army? !

However, before his brain could react any further, there was a muffled sound of "puff puff puff", and more than ten crossbow arrows had all been nailed into his body...

"what--"

Qiu Shenji only had time to let out an earth-shattering roar before he fell on his back like a hedgehog and died on the spot.

The soldiers and the Qiu family who rushed out from the side rooms on both sides will be horrified!

Look at the neat and tidy actions of this group of men in black, their advances and retreats are orderly, their momentum is breathtaking, especially those crossbows... This is the army!

Who actually used the army to assassinate Qiu Shenji? !

The soldiers and the Qiu family will immediately react completely differently to the fierce attack of the man in black...

The soldiers were only ordered to escort Qiu Shenji to the South China Sea. Even if Qiu Shenji died, everyone would be punished after returning. Man, look at the crossbow in his hand, isn't that fatal?
Then, I don't know who shouted, and the soldiers immediately ran away without saying a word, like birds and beasts...

They can escape, but the generals of the Qiu family cannot escape!
Of course they could also disperse, but now Qiu Shenji has been pierced by thousands of arrows to death, even if they escape with their lives, what will happen to the parents, wives and children who stayed in the Qiu family?

According to Qiu Xinggong's consistent violent temperament, there is absolutely no reason for his family to survive. On the contrary, even if he died on the spot, his family would be treated favorably.

The generals of the Qiu family were all born in the army and fought fiercely. It is natural to see that the men in black in front of them are fierce and well-equipped, but since there is no way to retreat, they must face it head-on!

When the two armies meet, the brave wins!

The man in black at the head saw the Qiu family general's fearless charge, snorted coldly, raised his hand, and shouted: "Get ready—let it go!"

"Boom!"

Another round of crossbow arrows was shot out, no matter how fierce the courage was, the fine steel arrows would pierce into the body and tear the flesh and bones. Death and retreat are also death, so why not die on the way to charge? !

The man in black showed admiration. No matter whether he was in a desperate situation or not, a warrior who could face life and death should be respected.

Although the lethality of the crossbow is huge, its disadvantage is that the arrow speed is too slow. After two rounds of shooting, it is too late to raise the arrow. The leader of the man in black clenched his horizontal knife tightly, and said a word coldly: "Kill!"

"kill!"

The man in black behind him let out a muffled snort, his formation was strict and his steps were vigorous, and he waved a horizontal knife to meet him...

With a sound of "cha", the Qiu family who rushed to the front slashed the horizontal knife in his hand at the enemy with all his strength, but was stunned to find that the horizontal knife in his hand was cut off when the enemy raised the horizontal knife to block it. Two cuts, and then in his disbelief, the enemy's horizontal knife took advantage of the situation to cut off his neck.

How can this be?

What I have in my hand is a military standard horizontal knife...

This is the last doubt, because his head has flown into the sky.

The generals of the Qiu family rushed forward screaming, and the men in black faced each other in silence. The hand-to-hand combat took only a few tens of breaths, and the two sides broke apart as soon as they touched each other, and the battle was over.

The leader of the men in black looked indifferently at the corpses all over the place, and ordered: "Search to see if there are fish that slipped through the net, gather the corpses, deal with the scene, and burn them all."

"Here!"

More than a dozen men in black put their knives into their sheaths, a few of them searched the rooms one by one, and the rest rushed out to pull out all the crossbow bolts from the corpse, and then dragged the corpse to Qiu Shenji's room. The bamboo tube hanging on the lower waist, poured the black and slightly viscous black oil in the bamboo tube on the walls, furniture, and corpses, then exited the house, took out a fire pocket from his arms, blew on it, and threw it into the house.

"Pong"!
With a soft sound, the fire was ignited instantly, and within a few breaths, the fire was raging and thick smoke billowed.

The blazing flames reflected brilliant light on the pupils of the leader of the man in black. He waved his hand and softly shouted: "Get out!"

A group of people came and went like the wind, and quickly disappeared into the night of Xijindu.

When the garrison soldiers of Xijin Ferry rushed to the scene, there was no one there, leaving only the raging fire and thick smoke, covering most of Xijin Ferry...

*****
Changan.

July is hot, summer is scorching.

But it did not stop the enthusiasm of the students at all...

Because the imperial examinations are gradually being valued by the families and students from the poor families, they regard this as a way to become an official besides "recommendation" and "indulgence". One is to get familiar with the climate and food in Beijing, and the other is to worry about the high mountains and long rivers on the way to the capital, in case some accidents happen on the way and delay the exam.

It is not as good as those children from aristocratic families. Students from poor families have to bear great pressure in life when they go to the capital. "It is not easy to live in Chang'an". There is no money left to participate in some entertainment activities.

Some students even have to find a job as a clerk and accountant to maintain their lives in Beijing...

Humans are social animals, and subconsciously yearn for the same kind of communication, but meeting places such as teahouses and restaurants are expensive, how can they afford this money?Under such circumstances, students from poor families often find a place with green mountains and green waters outside the city, and gather in groups of three or four to discuss poetry, songs, Fu, classics, history and classics, and exchange ideas to answer doubts.

However, in recent days, these impoverished students staying in the middle of the capital have given up the outdoor recreation of small bridges and flowing water outside the city, and instead went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War in groups to admire the "shocking" legendary calligraphy ...

"Tsk tsk, although Fang Erlang's usual behavior makes me not agree with him, but the attainment of this calligraphy alone makes me very impressed, he can be called a master of calligraphy in the world!"

"Look at the word 'no'. The horizontal line is surprisingly long and out of the norm. Most people would never write it like this. But when you look at it vertically, it looks simple and powerful."

"It doesn't stop there? Look, every time Fang Erlang writes the strokes and the strokes, he doesn't drag them downwards, but stretches them to the left and right. It can be said that the ending point of the strokes and the strokes has reached Extreme. Writing in this way leaves a lot of space for the strokes covered by the strokes, allowing them to fully express their respective postures, enhancing the momentum of verticality, and appearing chic and generous."

"He is truly a genius! I heard that this Fang Erlang is not usually too hardworking. He spends far more time playing with knives and sticks than writing with a pen, but he is able to find a new way to start his own family. 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 scroll hanging on the wall, shaking their heads in admiration.

Someone said: "Don't you just pay attention to how outstanding the font of this picture is? Hehe, in a certain view, the handwriting of this picture is beautiful, but the meaning of this picture is more than enough to pass on to future generations. Good story!"

When he said this, others just woke up.

"Not bad, [Young Mansion Prison and Dogs Are Not Allowed], haha, you are worthy of being the most talented person in the world. Although there is only one word 'dog' in the whole article, there is no insulting words, but the strong contempt and spurn between the lines is very strong. When it comes to life on paper, this is more powerful than a hundred swear words!"

Everyone agreed.

It's no wonder that the prisoner of the Shaofu Supervisor couldn't get sick after returning home after being disgraced here, and even heard that he had written to His Majesty requesting to resign from his old age and become an official...

Facing Jiangdong's elders without face!

Just as everyone was expressing their admiration, a pair of cavalrymen came galloping from a distance. When they arrived at the entrance of the military department, they reined in their reins and jumped off their horses. A sturdy guard surrounded an eunuch and walked quickly the door.

The students onlookers at the door hurriedly avoided the two sides, flashing a path.

The eunuch was also kind, with a smile on his white and beardless face, and he nodded frequently to the students. When he reached the door, he looked up at the words posted on the wall next to the door, and turned back to the guard behind him and said: "Hurry up, take it off."

"Here!"

The imperial guard responded, then walked to the wall, and stretched out his hand to uncover the words "The Shaofu prison and dogs are not allowed to enter"...

The students were startled when they saw it, and those who had the courage stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask this angel, why did you remove this writing?"
