Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 18 Since you are unreasonable, I also know a little bit about fighting
The four big men were burly and strong. Each of them was dressed in the same dark blue shorts. They had one hand behind their back and wore a strange mask on their face.

The four of them lined up in a row, like a wall, blocking the alley, which was not very spacious to begin with.

Sun Qiang held the hilt of the knife with his right hand, "My lord, this person is not a good person."

Su Chen nodded, waved the folding fan in his hand, and looked back.

Okay.

There are also four burly men behind them. Their looks are not exactly the same, but they are roughly the same.

"What did you do when you encountered this kind of situation in the past?"

"Look at me."

Sun Qiang smiled slightly, put one hand on the hilt of the knife, and strode forward.

"I am Sun Qiang from the Prince's Mansion. May I ask where you brothers are from?"

"..."

"This Mr. Su Chen is the honored guest of our Eastern Palace Crown Prince. You are blocking our way with ill intentions, but have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"..."

The eight people on the other side said nothing.

On the contrary, when Sun Qiang mentioned Su Chen, the hands hidden behind his back slowly lowered.

Everyone held a short knife about a foot long in their right hand.

Sun Qiang: “……?”

They are enemies, not friends!

The sword is slightly raised, as if ready to strike.

"It seems that your method of the East Palace is not very effective."

"..."

Su Chen smiled and stepped forward, cupping his hands, "I have never met you before, let alone talk about any grudges."

"Now that you are blocking my way, I'm afraid this won't end well..."

The eight men raised the daggers in their hands and rushed over quickly.

"But the King of Wei sent you here?"

Facing Su Chen's question, the eight people remained silent, but the short knives in their hands created a whistling wind!
"Be careful, son!"

Sun Qiang drew his sword and protected Su Chen behind him.

There were only four people on the other side, and they couldn't maneuver in such a narrow alley.

He could just defeat them one by one!

"Since you guys are being unreasonable, I know a little bit about fighting."

Seeing that these eight people were so ungrateful, Su Chen's face gradually became gloomy. He put away the folding fan in his hand and touched the earthen spear at his waist.

"Sir, please stop saying such harsh words. They are clearly out to get you!"

Sun Qiang leaned his back against Su Chen and pushed him into the corner. "I'll cover you as you rush out."

"There are many patrol officers in the West City area. Young Master, just shout and they will soon attract attention."

"Is it too late to shout now?"

Ding!
Sun Qiang did not respond because he was already fighting with four people in front of him.

The opponent came with great force and advanced and retreated in a measured manner, which made Sun Qiang terrified.

It stands to reason.

In an alleyway that can accommodate four people, there is no need for too many people. Just one veteran warrior can resist a hundred or eighty people, making it difficult for the enemy to advance.

However, the four opponents actually knew how to attack together, and they knew when to advance and retreat, which showed that they were well prepared!

He is determined to kill Su Chen!
"Go away!"

Sun Qiang held the knife in one hand and the scabbard in the other to block.

Even if he was hit by the opponent's knife, he had to force back the four people in front of him and turn around to chop at the four people behind him in order to ensure Su Chen's safety.

At the same time, Su Chen took out his homemade gun.

Bang!
The gunshot caused the man to fall to the ground.

The killer wearing a ghost mask had a pool of blood gushing out from between his brows.

The seven killers in the alley were all stunned.

What kind of hidden weapon is this that can take the life of a companion with just one strike?

"Did him!"

The fatal shot not only failed to scare away the remaining seven killers, but instead made them even more ferocious.

They rushed towards Su Chen and the others like crazy.

It seemed as if he had made up his mind to make Su Chen look bad even if he died.

Whoosh!
An iron rod came from far away, broke through the air and hit a killer who was chopping with a knife.

Then there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a big man running like a tiger appeared in front of Su Chen.

He picked up the iron rod on the ground with his right foot and hit the killer.

"One of our own?"

"Bad people."

Su Chen looked thoughtfully at the wound on Sun Qiang's left shoulder, where blood had already stained a palm-sized stain.

But Sun Qiang seemed unaware of it. The sword in his hand became more and more sharp and ferocious. Every move he made was simple and crude, aiming directly at the vital points.

With a fighting style of either you die or I die, he actually suppressed the four opponents.

Bang bang!

The three killers fell to the ground and could not get up. It was obvious that their legs and feet were broken.

Without saying a word, the big man turned around and joined Sun Qiang's fighting team. He advanced and retreated, and within thirty seconds, he had captured all the remaining four killers.

call……

Sun Qiang bent over and gasped for breath, supporting his knees with his hands to avoid being too embarrassed. It seemed that the adrenaline gradually dissipated, and he realized that he had been stabbed by someone. He grimaced in pain and leaned against the wall to check his wound.

"Into your mother!"

"I beheaded seventy-eight people in the battle of Liangzhou. Why would I be afraid of a bunch of bastards like you?!"

Not even feeling satisfied, Sun Qiang spat viciously.

Su Chen smiled and raised his hand, but was stopped by Sun Qiang, "Don't shoot, it hurts a little."

Su Chen grinned: "It seems to be a minor injury."

Sun Qiang: “…”

"What do you call this friend?"

"Jin Yong."

After Jin Yong clasped his fists and announced his name, he frowned and looked at the alley entrance, then asked, "What kind of trouble did you two get into that caused you to be blocked and killed?"

Sun Qiang looked at Su Chen, who smiled and shrugged, "A pig."

Jin Yong: “……?”

Provoked a pig?

"Since you two are fine, I will take them to the government office."

"Wait a minute."

Su Chen stopped Jin Yong, squatted beside the eight killers, and fumbled around for a while.

Sun Qiang and the other man looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.

"Unfortunately, there is nothing left except a few copper coins."

Su Chen weighed the purse in his hand and threw it to Jin Yong. "Being a bad guy is not a job that can make you a living. Are you interested in working with me?"

Jin Yong glanced at the purse in his hand, then looked at Su Chen.

Snapped.

A bag of silver was thrown over.

After all, the sound of silver colliding is very different from that of copper coins.

Jin Yong could tell just by the sound that there must be a lot of silver in the purse.

"I am willing to obey your orders!"

"Kill them and throw them to the government office. Come to the Prince's Residence near the West Market to find me tomorrow morning."

"...?"

Jin Yong's eyes widened.

kill?

Throw it to the yamen?

Prince's residence?
These three words together made Jin Yong's heart beat faster.

After Sun Qiang had a good rest, he wiped the blood off the knife and put it back into the sheath.

"How did Brother Jin know that we were robbed?"

"When I was wandering around just now, I heard a strange noise, so I came to take a look."

The strange sound was undoubtedly Su Chen's gunshot.

but.

After Jin Yong stepped forward, Su Chen put it away.

"Is this the territory you are in charge of?"

"No."

Su Chen nodded, smiled and waved, "Let's go."

Jin Yong: "Sir, take care!"

After watching Su Chen and the other two leave, Jin Yong looked down at the seven killers on the ground and picked up their knives.

"Why don't you continue asking?"

Sun Qiang was a little confused.

If someone is attacked for no apparent reason, we must get to the bottom of it and get to the bottom of it.

"You just said that there are many patrolmen in West City."

"Yes, the West Market is prosperous, and merchants from all over the country gather here. There are naturally many patrol police and bad people responsible for patrolling."

"But……"

Su Chen said in a gloomy tone, "The people who came to help us this time were the bad guys who passed by here."

Sun Qiang: “……?”

So many patrol police and bad guys disappeared, and instead, Jin Yong who was passing by stepped forward to help.

If you think about it carefully, Sun Qiang's silence is deafening.

"It seems that the prince was too violent that night."

Su Chen put his hands behind his back and looked from the bustling streets of West Market to the blue sky. "I really want to make it into a braised lion's head."

"It's settled, let's go eat braised lion's head."

"Well, sir, I'm still injured!"

"Just right, I'll give you some supplements."

……

ps: The patrol police adopt the method in the Old Book of Tang Dynasty Official Posts, which is to be in charge of patrolling the palace and the capital day and night to enforce the emperor’s will.

Volume 25 of the Tang Dynasty's Six Codes also states that the General of the Household was in charge of the government and was responsible for supervising the day and night patrols on the six left and right streets in the capital.

I originally planned to use yamen runners, but later I looked it up and found that it was easier to understand so I used patrol officers. Sorry for not marking it before.
