Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 479 What a powerful old man!

There is no need to elaborate on how Chen Zhongshu cleaned up the Imperial Guards. With Chen Zhongshu personally present, no one in the Imperial Guards dared to resist. After Wang Zhongzhi and others entered the Imperial Guards, they captured all the rats headed by Jiang Cheng in just a moment.

Just as Chen Zhongshu entered the Imperial Guard, a large number of imperial guards surged onto the four walls of Kyoto City. Nanyang Marquis Lu Baishu stood in front of the city gate tower on the Zhengyang Gate with a big horse and a golden sword, looking coldly at several thousand commanders and captains of the imperial guards.

Behind him were the four marquises of the Twelve Battalions of the Imperial Guards, Xue Ou, Marquis of Guangping, Lü Shizhi, Marquis of Jianliang, Chen Yu, Marquis of Pingjiang, and Xu Yuan, Marquis of Yongkang.

Darong has only six dukes, but more than thirty marquises, and as for earls, there are as many as seventy.

The four people in front of you are all admirals of the twelve battalions of the Imperial Guard.

In front of Lu Baishu were already kneeling three captains, four lieutenant commanders, and other military officers who were brought in one after another.

When Xue Ou and the other three saw this, they looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Lu Baishu was trying to do.

However, they did not dare to ask more questions. Judging from Lu Baishu's expression, this was obviously not a good thing.

At this moment, bursts of noisy noises were heard in the city.

Xue Ou and others heard the noise and looked towards the city. The distance was too far and they could not see clearly, but they could see that it seemed to be a team walking towards them along Zhengyang Street.

"What's going on?" Pingjiang Hou Chen Yu couldn't help but ask.

Yongkang Marquis Xu Yuan shook his head slightly, "I don't know, they don't look like the men of Wucheng Bingmasi, nor do they look like the runners of Shuntianfu!"

As the distance got closer, they finally saw the specific situation of the team.

The team of 300 people were all dressed in black and trotted forward in unison, with one man riding a horse in front of the team.

When he saw the man on horseback, Guangping Hou Xue Ou's eyes lit up.

"It's Jing'an Marquis Yang Zhengshan!"

He had dealt with Yang Zhengshan before. In the Battle of Guanshankou, he had followed the Marquis of Changping to participate in the battle. Later, when Yang Zhengshan was conferred the title of Marquis, he was also present.

"It's him. Such a strong murderous aura!" said Jianliang Hou Lu Shizhi in a deep voice.

At this time, the team on the street was only two hundred meters away from them, but Yang Zhengshan and his men had already stopped.

Riding on horseback, Yang Zhengshan looked towards the city gate tower on the Zhengyang Gate in the south. With his eyesight, he could see Xue Ou and others clearly, but he could not hear what they were saying.

The distance was not far, but the surrounding environment was too noisy. Because of their arrival, many people on the street ran out to watch the excitement.

That’s right, just watch the fun!

The people of Kyoto were also brave. They were not afraid at all of a group of soldiers holding weapons and with murderous eyes. Instead, they were all very curious about where these people came from.

Yang Zhengshan ignored the people watching around him and looked up at the pavilion in front of him with a plaque that read "Chun Zaitang".

"I am under the order of the Emperor to arrest the spies. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!"

He jumped off his horse, took out the imperial edict given to him by Chen Zhongshu, held the edict high in one hand and the spear in the other, and went straight into Chunzaitang.

At the same time, Ding Qiu, Wu Zhan and Luo Jinsong each led a team of guards and either rushed into Chun Zaitang or surrounded Chun Zaitang.

Chunzaitang is a study with a large collection of books. The entire Chunzaitang consists of four library pavilions, a teahouse, two banquet halls, and rooms for rest.

There are pavilions and ponds in it, with classical decorations and tranquil scenery. It is a rare and quiet place to read. Therefore, Chunzaitang is very popular among scholars in Kyoto.

Many scholars often hold poetry gatherings, painting appreciation gatherings, tea parties and other gatherings here.

Although there are no gatherings in Chunzaitang today, there are many scholars reading or having small gatherings in Chunzaitang.

The guards rushed into Chunzaitang, immediately causing panic among the scholars.

"Who are you? How dare you act wildly in Chunzaitang!"

A young man dressed as a scholar saw this scene and immediately stepped forward to question.

In the yard, many of Chun Zaitang's servants became alert upon seeing this. Several of them exchanged glances with each other and then retreated to the backyard one after another.

Yang Zhengshan strode into the yard and glanced at the young man who stood up to speak.

"According to the Imperial Order, arrest the spies. Anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed without mercy!"

He held up the imperial edict woven with auspicious clouds and cranes and glanced coldly at the scholars present.

"Seal off Chunzaitang and forbid anyone to leave. If anyone dares to attack, kill them on the spot without asking any questions!"

The guards ignored the scholars in front of them and rushed directly to the backyard of Chun Zaitang.

Under the intimidation of Yang Zhengshan, these scholars dared not move.

Although many of them were children of powerful officials, they dared not resist Yang Zhengshan who was holding the imperial edict.

Yang Zhengshan just glanced at them and walked towards the backyard.

However, before he stepped into the moon gate in the backyard, he heard the sound of weapons clashing.

By the time he entered the Moon Gate, the guards had already started fighting with a group of Chun Zaitang's men.

There are not only Chun Zaitang's guys, but also many warriors dressed in black.

There were actually more than thirty of them, and it seemed that each of them had a high level of cultivation.

There are so many warriors hiding in a study. No one would believe that there is nothing wrong with it.

Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes and saw that a master had actually broken out of the siege of the guards. He jumped up, climbed onto the roof, and tried to escape to the south.

This person's cultivation is at least at the eighth level of the acquired realm, and it is very likely to be the ninth level.

With his level of cultivation, it was not difficult for the guards to stop him.

But it was impossible for him to escape.

Just as he was about to escape from the roof, a dozen figures suddenly jumped up outside the yard, stepped on the wall, and jumped onto the roof on the south side of Chunzaitang.

The next moment, more than a hundred guards jumped onto the surrounding roofs, and the guards could be seen on the houses and buildings on all sides of Chunzaitang.

The guards of the Yang family are not ordinary soldiers. Ordinary soldiers have to work hard to climb onto the roof, but the guards of the Yang family are all acquired martial artists above the fourth level. It is easy for them to climb over a wall or onto a roof.

The expert wanted to break through, but as soon as he jumped off the roof, seven or eight guards blocked him.

However, his skills were not weak after all. With a flick of his blade, he instantly forced back the guards who were blocking his way. Two of them even accidentally fell from the roof.

But soon several guards came to support and surrounded the man again.

In terms of cultivation, this person is much stronger than the guards.

Yang Zhengshan has already determined that this person has the ninth level of acquired cultivation.

A martial artist who has reached the ninth level of the acquired realm can be considered a master no matter where he is.

The guards' cultivation levels ranged from the fourth level to the sixth level, which was a huge gap compared to this.

However, the outcome of a battle is not entirely determined by the level of cultivation.

The soldiers in the army are good at cooperating with each other, and the guards of the Yang family cooperate even better.

Only seven people were able to entangle a ninth-level post-natal warrior. Although it was difficult for them to capture him, it was also not easy for him to break free from the guards.

What's more, the Yang family is not without martial artists at the ninth level of the acquired realm. Luo Jinsong, Ding Qiu and Wu Zhan all have the ninth level of acquired realm cultivation.

The seven guards fought with the man for only a moment before Ding Qiu came to support them with a long sword in hand.

Yang Zhengshan withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on the yard in front of him again.

There are quite a lot of masters here!
Look, almost all of them are warriors at the sixth or seventh level of acquired realm, and among them there are several warriors at the eighth level of acquired realm.

If it weren't for the guards of the Yang family, if it was any other soldier, a bloody battle would have been inevitable. However, in front of the guards of the Yang family, more than 30 warriors of the sixth and seventh levels of the acquired realm were still not enough.

As soon as the battle started, the Yang family guards suppressed the enemy in the yard. The enemy tried to break out by rushing left and right, but each time they rushed out only two or three feet before being beaten back by the guards!
The battle was extremely fierce from the beginning, with the sound of clanging weapons, shouts, screams, and curses coming one after another.

……

Chun was outside the hall. When the people who were watching the excitement heard the shouts and screams, they scattered like birds and beasts and disappeared without a trace in a moment.

In the blink of an eye, the originally noisy street became quiet.

The people were not stupid, if they were just watching the show, they would naturally be willing to join in the fun, but now there was shouting and screaming, and with so many warriors on the rooftops, no matter how brave they were, they dared not stay here to join in the fun.

Swords and guns are blind and no one can guarantee that innocent people will not be harmed in the chaos of war.

The common people dispersed, but many warriors came to watch.

How many warriors are there in Kyoto?
How many children of the powerful and wealthy are there?

These people were much bolder than ordinary people. When they saw warriors fighting, many of them came to watch.

Of course, they would not come closer, but would hide in teahouses or restaurants not far away, or on rooftops or trees, and watch from afar.

"What happened?"

Chun was in a teahouse to the north of the hall. King Dai heard the noise outside and looked outside with some curiosity.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, there is a fight going on in Chunzaitang. Let's leave here first!" Xiao Anzi heard the discussions of other guests in the teahouse and quickly reminded them.

However, when the King of Dai heard about the fight, he immediately became excited, "Where is it? Chun Zai Tang! Let's go and take a look!"

"Your Highness, no! It's dangerous over there!" Xiao Anzi was startled and hugged King Dai's waist, fearing that King Dai would jump out of the window.

"Let me go!" King Dai said angrily.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I really can't go!" Xiao Anzi was about to cry.

Swords and guns have no mercy. If he were to hurt the King of Dai, he would never be able to redeem himself.

"You you~" King Dai was angry, but he was not an ungrateful person. He knew that Xiao Anzi was worried about his safety.

"Okay, I won't go over there. Let's go upstairs and take a look!" King Dai said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Anzi heaved a sigh of relief. This place was still some distance away from Chunzaitang, so there shouldn't be any danger from here.

"Liu Bin, take me to the roof!" King Dai shouted towards the door.

The door opened and a tall man walked into the box with his body bent and his head lowered.

The man was extremely tall, probably over two meters tall, and he had to bend down to enter the door.

"Your Highness, I'm going to throw you up there!"

Liu Bin stood in front of the window and spoke in a thunderous voice.

"Okay!" King Dai agreed without thinking.

"Liu Bin, be careful, don't hurt His Highness!" Xiao Anzi was furious.

How could you throw His Highness up there?

Can't you help His Highness up?

However, he looked at the window, then at the tall Liu Bin, and finally did not stop Liu Bin.

King Dai flipped out of the window and stepped on Liu Bin's arm. Liu Bin threw him with force, and King Dai jumped two meters high, passed the third floor, and grabbed the eaves of the roof.

"Xiao Anzi, come up!" King Dai has not forgotten Xiao Anzi.

Liu Bin looked down at Xiao Anzi. Xiao Anzi had no choice but to climb out and get on the roof using the same method.

Standing on the eaves, King Dai looked at the location of Chun Zaitang.

Although you cannot see the entire Chun Zai Tang from here, you can see the roofs around the Tang.

"Master, there are masters, those two should be masters of the ninth level of the acquired realm!"

When he saw Ding Qiu and the other person fighting, he couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, be careful, don't fall!" Xiao Anzi stood behind King Dai and grabbed King Dai's robe from behind.

"it's okay no problem!"

King Dai said nonchalantly, his eyes fixed in the direction of Chun Zaitang.

"Go ask who those people are? They all look very powerful!"

"Your Highness, it's not too late to ask after it's over!"

How could Xiao Anzi dare to leave King Dai's side? What if the King got too excited and ran too close?
The King of Dai didn't care and said, "Look at those people. They cooperate very well and their cultivation is not low!"

"Another one comes out, also a master!"

"Look over there, look over there, that shot was so fast!"

He was overwhelmed by what he saw, his face flushed with excitement, and he wished he could go down and fight in person.

Fortunately, he was self-aware and knew that with his level of cultivation, he was not even qualified to serve food.

Just as the King of Dai was shouting excitedly, an old man sitting on the roof next to him suddenly said, "Boy, be quiet!"

Hearing the scolding, King Dai was startled and looked towards the old man.

Only then did he realize that there was someone sitting next to him.

The old man was wearing a tattered green gown, his gray hair was messy and he looked unkempt. He was holding a wine jug in his hand and would raise his head to take a sip of wine from time to time.

The wine flowed down his messy beard and wet his shirt on his chest.

"Old man, when did you come up?" King Dai asked in surprise.

Xiao Anzi looked at the old man in front of him with a vigilant look.

The old man suddenly appeared here, and neither of them noticed him.

"I was here first, and you disturbed me while I was drinking!" The old man glanced at King Dai and said dissatisfiedly.

The King scratched his head and said, "Oh, I'll keep my voice down then!"

He is still very reasonable and he understands the principle of first come, first served.

Besides, he didn't want to talk to an unkempt old man right now. He wanted to watch Chun Zaitang fight.

But just as he turned his head, there was a sudden loud bang behind him, and before he could react, he felt a strong wind passing over his head.

Then he saw the unkempt old man leap more than ten feet like a flying swallow, then lightly passed over the rooftop across the street and flew straight towards Chun Zaitang.

However, the old man suddenly stopped not far from Chun Zaitang.

The King of Dai was astonished, "What a powerful old man!"

The astonishment was not over yet, and his eyes almost popped out again.

Because he saw two figures colliding at a very fast speed in the upper room of Chuntang.
