Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 121 You are the best person I have ever met

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wumian rushed forward, his body breaking through the snow curtain, with the knife following him.

The imperial guards are basically divided into groups of three. One person holds a large black iron shield in both hands, and the other two stand behind the shield soldier. One holds a knife and is responsible for protecting the shield soldier closely. The other holds a halberd and has a bow and crossbow on his waist and is responsible for killing. It is a small three-talent formation specially designed to deal with people from the martial arts world. However, now that they are surrounded, it is naturally impossible to rely on this small formation.

Therefore, when Zhao Wumian rushed forward, the shield soldiers who had been prepared immediately stepped forward, lifted up the large black iron shields weighing nearly 100 kilograms with both hands, and inlaid them together like an iron city wall.

He could lift a huge black iron shield of this weight easily, which meant he must have practiced some decent external skills... After all, the imperial guards who are responsible for the security of the imperial city are the elite among the elite. If foreign enemies really besiege the capital someday, they will be the ones to defend against them.

The shield wall was not built higher because if Zhao Wumian dared to use his lightness skills to fly over their heads, they could immediately pierce him into a human gourd with their halberds.

The densely packed long spears from below are undoubtedly a mountain of thorns. No matter how good a warrior's martial arts skills are, he cannot fly after all and must always land to gain leverage.

Therefore, if you want to break through the encirclement of the guards, you can only fight head-on.

Now with a huge black iron shield weighing over 100 jin in front of him, what could Zhao Wumian use to fight back?
Behind the shield wall is Chaotian Gate. On the wall, there are many guards holding heavy crossbows pointing directly at Zhao Wumian. From their perspective, they can have a panoramic view of the scenery in front of the Taiji Hall.

Their foreheads were covered with sweat, and they dared not blink even when it got into their eyes. Although their arms did not move at all, they did not dare to pull the trigger at all.

Behind Zhao Wumian was the Queen, and no one dared to shoot an arrow and risk accidentally injuring the Queen.

They could only watch Zhao Wumian rush towards the shield wall. Once Zhao Wumian entered the encirclement of the imperial guards, they would no longer have the opportunity to shoot arrows... After all, by that time there would be so many people around that using heavy crossbows would only accidentally injure friendly forces.

They comforted themselves in their hearts that human power is limited. Although Zhao Wumian was able to fight against thousands of guards alone and was very heroic, he was only heroic. If a fight really came, he estimated that he would not even be able to break through the shield wall... There was no need for them to use heavy crossbows at all.

And the fact was just as they expected. Zhao Wumian hit the shield wall like a cannonball. The shield wall, which was as solid as a mountain, trembled slightly. The impact force spread to all directions and formed a hole under the snow curtain.

But the shield wall weighing hundreds of pounds is connected to each other and can absorb each other's force. It is no longer the weight of just one shield.

If they really want to break the shield wall with a single punch, they'll need at least someone as skilled in martial arts as Eunuch Lin or Chief Constable Su to do it.

Although Zhao Wumian was extremely strong, he was obviously not the best in martial arts.

Seeing that Zhao Wumian's move had no effect, the shields in front of Zhao Wumian kept connecting with each other and slowly retreated, while the rest of the shield walls surrounded Zhao Wumian on both sides, determined to surround him. At that time, they could either stab him to death with the halberd, or consume his physical strength to surround him to death, or wait for the masters of the palace to come and encircle and suppress him.

The archers on the city wall thought so too, but the next moment their eyes turned into horror.

Zhao Wumian was just testing the hardness of the shield wall just now. After one move, he had a guess in his heart, and he stabbed it with his sword. It was a sword move from the Wan Yue Xian sword technique, with extremely strong penetrating power. The external martial arts master Jiang Bai had died from this move.

Now I have the Wuhen Knife, and I use the knife instead of the sword. Although the weapon is different, its lethality is no less.

There was a loud 'clang' and the shield instantly cracked. The sword went straight through the shield. Then Zhao Wumian held the sword with both hands, his forearm muscles bulged, and with a loud shout, he slashed horizontally, instantly cutting off more than half of the large black iron shield in front of him, revealing the horrified and unbelievable expressions of the guards behind the shield.

Zhao Wumian was in a desperate situation. The unleashing of his potential and his superb skills in Wan Yue Xian were only one of the reasons. It was also true that the Wuhen Sword could cut through iron like mud. If he had used the Kunwu Sword he had before entering the palace, Zhao Wumian would have had to chop four or five times to break his shield. By then, Zhao Wumian would have been surrounded.

But the guards reacted immediately after a brief surprise. In an instant, four long spears stabbed through the gap created by Zhao Wumian. If Zhao Wumian had tried to rush forward through the gap, he would have been stabbed with four bloody holes.

But Zhao Wumian is no longer the newbie he was when he just woke up, so he can guess the reaction of the imperial guards.

So he held the knife in one hand and tightly grasped the gap of the shield with the other hand. Veins bulged on his forehead. In the next moment, Zhao Wumian pressed the shield down hard and it fell heavily on the floor. He followed the downward force and pressed his body down. Four long spears swept past Zhao Wumian's head.

At this point, the shield wall was wide open, and behind the shield wall were densely packed guards.

"The shield wall is broken!"

"Hand-to-hand combat! Draw your swords!"

"Behind Zhao Wumian is the Queen, remember not to hurt Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Surround him to death!"

The guards were not at a loss, and their leader gave orders calmly.

Zhao Wumian took a deep breath, then stomped his boots on the ground, and turned into a shadow as he rushed into the group of imperial guards. As he swung his sword, blood splattered on the snow.

The sounds of screams, hacking, the sound of swords hitting flesh, and the sound of weapons clashing came into the ears one after another.

The Queen was lying on Zhao Wumian's back with her eyes closed pretending to be faint, but these noises continued to come to her ears one after another. Zhao Wumian was moving around so fast that he almost threw the Queen off several times. It was because she held on to Zhao Wumian with all her strength that she did not fall down.

The queen also learned martial arts, and she could even sense that many long swords were almost about to hit her, but then they quickly stopped and turned to hit Zhao Wumian's legs, arms and other parts.

Some were blocked by Zhao Wumian, and some were not.

Blood sometimes splattered on her phoenix skirt.

Although the queen claimed that she was once a woman of the underworld, she was the eldest daughter of the Shen family after all. Even if she had learned martial arts, she had never been to the underworld seriously.

She couldn't help but think, when Zhao Wumian escorted Luo Chaoyan, had he ever carried her on his back and fought through thousands of troops? Did Zhao Wumian often experience such a desperate battle, where he fought one against a thousand? Wasn't he afraid when he faced the dark guards and the shining swords in front of him?

It's easy to say that one can defeat a thousand people, but how many people in the world dare to face the imperial guards?
She didn't know Zhao Wumian very well. After all, they had just met tonight and had barely exchanged a few words. But at this moment, she was lying on this man's back, fighting with him among thousands of soldiers, just to get out of the palace.

Yes, leaving the palace... It has been a long time since the Queen had this thought.

She entered the palace in the first place to prevent Shen Xiangge from doing things she didn't like or marrying a man she didn't like. Shen Xiangge was only fifteen that year, and the queen thought that as an aunt, she should do something for her niece... But in fact, the queen was only eighteen when she entered the palace.

She married into the palace at the age of eighteen, and in the future she might have to sleep with a man she doesn't like at all, and there is no one around her she can trust.

The queen was indeed afraid and terrified in her heart, so she put a pair of scissors under her pillow, saying that she was going to commit suicide, but in fact, she just wanted to make herself feel a little more at ease in the palace.

Every night, the eighteen-year-old queen could not help but hide in her bed and curl up crying.

The thing she hoped for most was to leave the palace and regain her freedom. She wished that Emperor Jingzheng would divorce her and let her go... But how could the queen divorce him just like that? There were too many forces involved. The Shen family was the first to disagree. Moreover, Emperor Jingzheng married her in order to win over the Shen family and suppress the voices in the court.

If one day she could really leave the palace, unless there was a coup, she would have to be taken out of the palace by someone and killed... But by then, the Shen family would be finished. The queen would elope with her lover, and it would be a scandal in the world. The Shen family would at least end up with three clans exterminated.

Therefore, when she was twenty years old, the queen no longer fantasized about leaving the palace, which was an unrealistic reality.

The queen at that time thought that the end of her life from the age of eighteen to the future eighty-eight could be seen at a glance.

But now, at the age of 28, she was actually being carried on the back of a man and protected as she rushed out of the palace... It was as if Zhao Wumian was trying to rescue her from the deep palace.

Thinking of this, the Queen's heart trembled slightly, but in fact it was not the case. Zhao Wumian wanted to save his life and pass the news of Dong Yan out of the palace. The Queen stammered with her red lips, and couldn't help wanting to say to Zhao Wumian, why don't you take me out of the palace.

But saying more at this moment would only distract Zhao Wumian, and if she was really taken out of the palace by Zhao Wumian, the secret guards headed by Jing Jin would certainly not escape the blame, and their entire family would be executed after being held accountable.

Moreover, why would Zhao Wumian help her? The two of them had no relationship. Zhao Wumian was working for Shen Xiangge. He was neither the queen's friend or subordinate, nor her lover.

If the queen was eighteen years old, she would definitely ask for it, and might even fall in love with Zhao Wumian uncontrollably, but the queen is now twenty-eight years old.

The queen pursed her red lips tightly and hugged Zhao Wumian tighter, with her little face pressed against his shoulder, trying to shield him as much as possible, making the guards even more fearful and afraid to take action.

In her heart, she couldn't help but secretly think, should she just think that Zhao Wumian was taking her out of the palace? Although the truth was not so, by comforting herself in this way, the Queen could feel a little comforted and could satisfy her unrealistic wish at the age of 18.

It was at this moment that the queen heard the slightly panicked shouts of the guards.

"Chaotian Gate! Zhao Wumian has charged into Chaotian Gate!"

"Keep encircling and suppressing! His physical strength cannot be infinite!"

There were also many hasty shouts from the palace masters, including the shouts of Jing Jin, the queen's personal guard.

"The guards just surround him from a distance and make room for us! Let us take action! Your martial arts skills are not at the Grandmaster level, so you can only consume his physical strength and cause more casualties!"

"Don't be too careful with your hands, don't hurt the Queen!"

This was natural. Zhao Wumian was surrounded by the imperial guards at the moment, and it was impossible for the masters of the palace to intervene.

Then came the angry curses of the commander of the imperial guards.

"Bullshit! Zhao Wumian is covered in wounds and his sword moves are not as fast or ruthless as before! Who said that brothers can only consume their energy?!"

"Two fists against four hands. Now that we have left Chaotian Gate, we are still a hundred feet away from the outer city wall. This is enough time to wear down Zhao Wumian!"

"This is really a master!? Why do I feel like he's even more powerful than Eunuch Lin!?"

"Where's Eunuch Lin!?"

"We've been entangled by Zhao Wumian's accomplice, who is also a martial arts master!"

"Damn, I came prepared!"

The guards, who were always well-trained, were actually cursing at this moment. They were also broken by Zhao Wumian.

At this moment, the queen heard the panicked voices of the guards again.

"Enemy attack!!!"

"Zhao Wumian's reinforcements!?"

Before the guards could say a few words, the queen felt her body suddenly flying into the air. She opened her eyes and saw a man in a black robe grabbing Zhao Wumian and flying towards the outer city at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, Zhao Wumian was covered in blood, and there seemed to be not a single piece of good flesh on his body.

The queen looked back and was slightly stunned, only to see a blood-stained road from the front of Taiji Palace to Chaotian Gate, with countless black-armored guards lying on the ground... Was all this done by Zhao Wumian?

Then, when a group of palace masters saw that the queen had also been captured, their faces changed drastically and they flew over, densely packed like locusts.

At this moment, the queen suddenly heard Zhao Wumian's secret message.

"Queen, if you want to leave the palace, just nod your head."

The queen's heart suddenly trembled, and she looked back at Zhao Wumian in disbelief.

Zhao Wumian's face was covered in blood, and there seemed to be a cut on his forehead, with blood flowing into his eyes. He closed one eye, looked back and glanced at the queen with a calm expression, but it didn't sound fake.

The queen shook her head silently... She couldn't leave. If she left the palace, hundreds of people in the palace would be convicted and beheaded.

"Really..." Zhao Wumian was silent for a moment, then smiled, "When Chaoyan becomes the emperor, if the queen wants to leave the palace and regain her freedom, she will not refuse... Chaoyan is very gentle, she is the best person I have ever met."

The queen didn't say anything. She suddenly thought in her heart, you are the best person I have ever met.

After saying that, Zhao Wumian untied the rope tied around the queen's waist with one hand, and the queen fell backwards due to gravity.

"Empress!" Jing Jin was horrified. He quickly flew over and hugged the queen, then stepped backwards and landed on the palace wall.

“Shoot the arrows!!!”

Seeing that the queen was rescued, the guards finally had no more worries, and the commander of the guards shouted at the top of his voice.

Xiu Xiu Xi——————

A tide of black arrows instantly rushed towards Zhao Wumian and the man in black robe in mid-air, but the man in black robe simply waved his sleeves lightly, and the nearby arrows fell lightly.

"Damn it, it's Wu Kui again!!!"

"There are less than 20 martial arts champions in the world, and two of them appeared tonight!"

The queen looked at Zhao Wumian's back as it slowly disappeared behind the palace wall. For some reason, her eyes felt a little sore and she suddenly started to cry.

"Is your Majesty injured?" Jing Jin hurriedly comforted her upon seeing this. "Your Majesty was frightened. I am to blame. I will take the blame later. But you are fine now."

The queen shook her head slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "I'm not feeling well... Let's go back to the palace first."

"As ordered."

Zhao Wumian held her hostage for another reason, in order to save the Shen family from danger, and the queen would never forget that.

Only Jing Jin caught the queen and fell down, while the rest of the palace masters chased straight out of the palace, determined to bring Zhao Wumian and the black-robed man of unknown origin to justice.
