The Emperor is Above

Chapter 64 He is our Zuoshi's brother
Outside the east gate of the central city, there was already a chaotic battle.

Long spears, swords and knives were scattered on the ground, and it was just a matter of seeing whose fist was harder.

The city guards had at least mid-level body-building strength, and their overall level was much higher. More and more militiamen from Huaiqiu were knocked down or captured.

Tun Shigu was knocked down in the first wave. His fat face was bruised and swollen, and his eyes were so swollen that they could not be seen. Chai Yong was in danger facing the siege of two sergeants of the city guards.

"You women from the city guards are not brave enough to bully others. I'm going to play with you for a bit!" Following a rough shout, dozens of soldiers at the city gate rushed over without hesitation.

"Ouch - you hit me in the eye -"

"What does this have to do with you, you bunch of bastards from Master Zuo?"

The city guards, who had already gained the upper hand, were suddenly attacked by another force. They cursed in pain and started fighting with the newly arrived soldiers from the left division.

However, this group of soldiers from the Left Division numbered more than 30 people, and their overall strength exceeded that of the City Guards, so they crushed the City Guards to the ground one after another.

Zuo Gongyu wanted to deal with Qing Yi quickly, but as time went by, he became more and more surprised that the young man in front of him was always able to find his flaws and escape danger every time when he was in danger.

The more he saw how talented his opponent was, the more determined he became to kill Qing Yi. Every move with the halberd in his hand was deadly, and it seemed that he would be able to win with just a dozen more moves.

However, the group of Zuo's soldiers who suddenly appeared inexplicably attacked the city guards, disrupting Zuo Gongyu's plan.

He shouted angrily at the burly man in the lead: "Zi Che Zhongxing, this man is transporting armor and weapons with the intention of attacking the city. The city guards are responsible for arresting him. How dare you help him!"

"hey-hey!"

The burly and dark Zi Che Zhong Xing grinned and said with disdain, "Zuo Gongyu, stop pretending to be an elephant with a pig's nose and a green onion in it. It's right that the city guards searched and seized the carriages and horses entering and leaving the city gate.

But you used that little power to deliberately embarrass Brother Qing Yi. Since our brothers in Zuo Shi saw it, they will never let him be bullied by you."

Before he finished speaking, he picked up a stick and rushed over. Zuo Gongyu had to give up fighting with Qing Yi and turn around to resist Zi Che Zhongxing.

As a veteran grassroots officer of the Zuo Division, Zi Che Zhongxing had been promoted to the rank of seventh-rank lower-armor soldier for many years. His combat effectiveness far exceeded that of Zuo Gongyu, who had just been promoted to the seventh rank not long ago. He soon forced Zuo Gongyu to retreat step by step.

Several captains and squad leaders of the Left Division surrounded and beat up the three squad leaders of the City Guards, cursing, "You blind bastards, why do you have to bully Brother Qing Yi when there are so many other people you can bully? He is our brother of the Left Division!"

"boom--"

Zi Che Zhongxing punched Zuo Gongyu in the face, eye sockets, and chin several times in succession. Seeing that Zuo Gongyu was too weak to continue fighting, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing the attack.

At this time, the soldiers of the Left Division had knocked down all the city guards, and enthusiastically helped up the Huaiqiuli militiamen, and then scrambled to get close to Qing Yi.

Zi Che Zhong Xing said in a rough and loud voice: "Brother Qing Yi, do you still remember me? I am Zi Che Zhong Xing, the left commander under the command of Lieutenant Ran You."

"Today, it's all thanks to Brother Zi Che and all the brothers of the Left Division for their help. Thank you very much!" Qing Yi greeted them sincerely and enthusiastically, and the soldiers of the Left Division didn't realize that he didn't recognize them just now.

After all, Ran You had hundreds of people under his command at the time, and many of them were wearing helmets and armor. It was impossible for Qing Yi to remember them all.

The straightforward soldiers of the Left Division didn't pay attention to the details at all, and took turns to greet them enthusiastically:
"Brother Qingyi, it's been a while since we last met. Nice to meet you!"

"Brother Qing Yi, long time no see!"

"Brother Qingyi, we invite you to dinner now that you are in the capital!" Zi Che Zhongxing said with a smile, "Don't waste time. Let's help each other and take our little brother Qingyi to the camp of the Left Division. Captain Ran You will definitely be happy to see him."

More than thirty soldiers from the Left Division worked together to help load the scattered debris onto the vehicles. You might have thought they were responsible for guarding the city gate.

Zuo Gongyu covered his dark eye sockets with one hand and shouted angrily, "Zi Che Zhongxing, this country boy attacked the city gate, and you, Master Zuo, dared to protect him. He will not be able to escape."

At this time, the city guards whistled in the distance, calling for help: "Hi, hi, hi, hi..."

The whistles were sounded in more than one place. City guards from several directions received the alarm and gathered towards the east gate of the central city. The total number of people was as high as two or three hundred.

The defeated city guards were already resentful, and when they saw their comrades coming, they either shouted for help or warned loudly:
"Brothers, help me——"

"Be careful of the bastard Zuo--"

The hundreds of city guards who came to support included dozens of men under Zuo Gongyu, as well as two city guard Simas who were responsible for patrolling the city’s security.

They had previously thought that the city gate was under attack and had hurried over to provide support, but now, seeing their colleagues being knocked to the ground by the soldiers of the Left Division, they all rushed over in anger.

Qing Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly at Zi Che Zhong Xing and said, "Today's incident has implicated all of Zuo Shi's brothers."

"The situation is indeed a little bad, but don't worry, Brother Qingyi, we can ask for help!"

Zi Che Zhongxing scratched his head and quickly ordered the two soldiers of the left division beside him, "Go to the camp and ask for help from Lieutenant Ran You. I'm afraid this incident today has become a big deal."

However, it takes time for the left division camp to go back and forth, which is like distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

The soldiers of the Left Division are only slightly stronger than the City Guards, but there is no difference in their realms. Facing ten times more City Guards, even Zi Che Zhongxing, a seventh-rank lower-armor soldier, would suffer a loss.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Left Division were being beaten, someone inside the city gate shouted, "The women of the city guards are beating up the brothers of the Left Division. The brothers of the Right and Central Divisions, go and help."

It turned out that there were many people entering and leaving the city gate at that time. Many officers and soldiers from the Right Division and the Middle Division of the Third Division went out of the city together.

Seeing hundreds of city guards beating more than thirty soldiers from the Left Division at the city gate, they rushed forward to help without asking why.

Although Qing Yi wanted to fight against the city guards, Zi Che Zhongxing was worried that he would be accidentally injured by the people from the Left and Right Divisions, so he was pushed out and could only watch the battle.

Not only him, but also the Huaiqiuli militiamen such as Tuan Shigu and Chai Yong could only watch. When they saw Xizi, Huaimu and several other young men taking care of the injured Gongsun Wu, they hurried over to check on his injuries.

Seeing Qing Yi coming over, Xizi said worriedly, "Brother Xiao Yi is in trouble. I'm afraid Gongsun Wu was kicked in the heart meridian just now. He has been coughing and spitting blood. I don't know if he can be cured."

"Damn Zuo Gongyu!" Qing Yi cursed angrily, and said with a very determined look, "Brother Gongsun must be cured. Master Zuo often faces wars, and he should have a lot of magical medicines to heal his wounds.

Once the current situation is resolved, I will ask Captain Ran You if he has any magical medicine. Doctor Yuan Mu and Old Man Shi should also have some."

After hearing Qing Yi's words, Xizi and the others' worried faces eased a little, but when they saw the chaos at the city gate, they became even more worried:
"There are more than 300 city guards, and the Left Division, Right Division, and Central Division together have nearly 300 people. More than 600 people are blocking the east gate of the central city and fighting. Today's incident is really a big deal. I don't know how it will end in the end!"

Even Qing Yi couldn't help but feel a headache at this moment. He originally just wanted to have a scene with Zuo Gongyu, and then show the spring farming suit to the king. Now it seems that he thought too simply.
