Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

“It’s unstoppable!!”

A soldier of the Imperial Guard had a look of anxiety on his face. Everything was fine just now, but suddenly the perfect formation was torn into a big hole.

Even if the Imperial Guards continued to come forward, it would be difficult to make up the gap.

Even a thick shield becomes as thin as paper when facing a thunder bomb and breaks at the slightest touch.

At this moment, the Shenwu Gate was filled with pungent smoke as flames shot up to the sky. A battle that took place in the era of cold weapons eventually evolved into a tragedy of hot weapons.

At the Donghua Gate of the Daming Palace, the sound of gunfire was quietly heard. Compared with the fierce collision at the Shenwu Gate, the noise here was smaller, but it should not be underestimated.

The heavy gate had become overwhelmed by the bombardment of thunder bombs and made a creaking sound. On the tall city wall, arrows broke through the air and continuously shot downwards, but compared with the thunder bombs that could shake the earth and mountains, the impact caused was minimal.

"Damn it!"

"Didn't they say the rebels launched an attack from Shenwu Gate? Why are there also some here?"

On the top of the city wall, a middle-aged man in his forties clenched his fists and pounded heavily on the wall beside him.

There were few people on the Donghua Gate side to begin with, and they came with great force and without any warning. If the Shenwu Gate had not made a fuss first, I'm afraid that this place would have been lost in the panic.

"Deputy General, have the people you sent out come back?"

Standing next to him was a man of similar age, with a square face and thick eyebrows, giving people a sense of solidity and reliability.

"General, Chen Chuan hasn't come back yet"

The general raised his head and glanced far to the north. Compared with Donghua Gate, the situation at Shenwu Gate was obviously much more serious. The explosions were very frequent, and it sounded like the critical moment had arrived.

"Alas~ Even if the message has really been passed on, at this moment, the Shenwu Sect probably can't spare many troops to come to our aid."

The only advantage for him was that the rebels at Donghuamen did not carry many thunder bombs, and their attack frequency was not that high, so they could still barely hold on.

"Brothers, hold on!!"

"Archers, shoot to death. For each head, I will reward you with ten taels of gold!!"

Hearing this, the soldiers defending the city were stunned at first, and then they started yelling and shouting as if they were given an injection of chicken blood. They threw the logs and arrows in their hands desperately, and suppressed the intruders in a short time.

The commander guarding Donghua Gate, named Tian Yufan, is well-known for always keeping his word.

Ten taels of gold may not sound like much, but when converted into silver, it is a full one hundred taels. Even if you guard the city gate for several years, you may not be able to get that much silver.

Right now, if they randomly shoot two arrows down there, they might be able to kill one of them. With wealth within their reach, the danger isn't that big. How can they not be excited?

“I shot that guy to death!!”

"this is mine!!"

Just when these soldiers were blushing and angry, the deputy general came over.

"General, if that doesn't work, let's use fire! Thunder bombs are powerful, but they are also afraid of fire. They don't have catapults. We are standing on a high ground, commanding the enemy, and our attack coverage is far greater than theirs. As long as we control them well, we can drive these people out of the range of Donghua Gate."

Tian Yufan reached out and stroked his sparse beard, his eyes beginning to flicker.

The suggestion given by the deputy general was feasible to a certain extent, but they drove the people away, so where would these people go? If they went to Shenwumen, wouldn't the pressure there be even greater?

"General!!"

The opportunity for battle is fleeting and time is of the essence. The deputy general shouted again.

Tian Yufan no longer hesitated, and waved his hand, shouting, "Someone, get on the rocket!"

In a dark alley, a lame old Taoist priest picked up a girl in green clothes, and his unhurried voice echoed in the dark alley. "Little girl, are you the person assigned by Jia Hong to be with the fourth young lady of the Jia family?"

"Can you tell me where your master is?"

"Pooh!"

Another voice came from the darkness.

"Old man, if you want to know the whereabouts of the young master, you can dream on!"

The old Taoist chuckled, and pinched Lu Yi's neck with his hands like dead branches, and slowly began to exert force. Lu Yi, who was hanging in the air, began to move her hands and feet. At the same time, the hidden weapons hidden on her body were also thrown out by her, but unfortunately, neither the bone-piercing nails nor the shadowless needles were effective. When they were just three inches away from the old Taoist, they were directly bounced away.

"I like people with tough bones. Since you don't want to accept my toast, I don't mind giving you a good beating!!"

Lu Yi coughed twice and angrily cursed: "Old dog, if you have the guts, just kill me. Young Master will definitely avenge me!!"

The girl was not afraid of the old Taoist's threat, but spat again.

The old Taoist's face darkened, and a cold murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Although the person in front of him was a young and beautiful girl, to him, she was no different from a stray cat or dog on the roadside. He was capable of destroying a beautiful woman with a ruthless hand. If the other party didn't know Jia Hong's whereabouts, he wouldn't even bother to look at her.

"Little girl, if you want to die, I will grant your wish!!"

After saying this, the old Taoist tightened his old right hand again, cutting off the last bit of Lu Yi's breathing. Looking at Lu Yi who began to struggle, there was no fluctuation in his calm eyes.

"I'll give you one last chance!!"

The Taoist priest's voice was a little stiff, but the strength in his hands did not weaken at all. God knows whether this sentence was directed at Lu Yi or at himself.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the old Taoist subconsciously turned his head to look. In the dark alley, there seemed to be footsteps.

The next moment, before he could come to his senses, he felt his hand lighten, and the woman he had just subdued disappeared.

"who is it??"

The old Taoist was shocked. Being able to rescue someone right under his nose was something that not everyone could do.

"Miao Miao, aren't you looking for me?"

A voice was heard in the darkness.

The old Taoist's face darkened when he heard this. He was looking for Jia Hong, but there was a difference between him finding the other party and the other party coming to him on his own initiative.

He found Jia Hong first, and he had the advantage at that time. If Jia Hong took the initiative to come to him, it would be hard to say what would happen.

"Lord Jia, you are joking. It has been a while since we last met. I am worried about you. If anything happens to you, I will be guilty of a great crime..."

"Hehe, what happened?"

"Master, are you worried that I'm not dead?!"

Suddenly, a wind blew up between heaven and earth. Two golden rays tore through the night sky, and a war was about to break out.
