Eternal Sword

Chapter 247: One Cut Result
Sheriff's Mansion.

Zhao Ruqi hugged his concubine and tossed and turned. Just as he fell asleep, he heard a loud commotion outside.

"what happened?"

Zhao Ruqi opened his sleepy eyes and looked outside.

Rays of firelight shone through the windows. There was no telling how many people were holding torches outside, making the room extremely bright.

Before he could react, someone knocked on the door and the butler's voice came: "Master, get up quickly. Something bad has happened!"

Zhao Ruqi frowned, put on his clothes simply and opened the door.

The housekeeper was sweating profusely and said in a panic, "Master, the imperial envoy has massacred Xuantian Temple! He has already brought Master Ye into the county governor's mansion!"

"what!"

Zhao Ruqi was horrified, his whole body shuddered, and he woke up instantly. He asked quickly, "How many people did he bring into the city?"

"nobody else."

The housekeeper said quickly: "He alone killed everyone in Xuantian Temple. There are corpses everywhere and blood is flowing like a river. It's like a Shura field!"

Zhao Ruqi breathed a sigh of relief.

He also thought that the imperial envoy brought a large army into the city to destroy Xuantian Temple.

"Has Qinglongsi learned the news?"

Zhao Ruqi asked again.

The housekeeper said, "I see. Captain Lou is bringing his men over here."

"Why panic!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ruqi felt relieved and said, "Take my official seal and transfer all the city defense troops here. They will obey my orders then!"

Zhao Ruqi took the long sword handed to him by the servant with both hands, tied it around his waist, sneered, and said, "I will go meet this imperial envoy first to see what he wants to do!"

As soon as he rushed to the front hall of the county government, he saw a tall young man holding the imperial token in one hand and a long sword with a cold glow in the other. He had a sharp gaze and an imposing aura!

Ye Zhi, the master of Xuantian Temple, was crawling at this man's feet, trembling and saying something intermittently.

Zhao Ruqi simply listened to a few words.

What Yeats was talking about was exactly how to poison the porridge and frame the monks of Changqing Temple.

Next to the two of them, the county magistrate was half-sitting on a chair, his face pale, with a pen in his hand.

As Yeats said, write on a blank sheet of paper.

"My Lord, what do you mean?"

Zhao Ruqi rushed in from behind with many constables and yamen runners, looking unfriendly and asking in a deep voice.

"Master Zhao, save me!"

When Ye Zhi heard Zhao Ruqi's voice, she was greatly encouraged and quickly asked for help.

The county magistrate next to him also wanted to stand up and move closer to Zhao Ruqi.

puff!
Without saying a word, Chen Tang slashed Ye Zhi's ankle with a knife, instantly severing his tendons!

"what!"

Ye Zhi screamed in pain.

Chen Tang stepped on his vest and said slowly: "I didn't ask you to stop, so just keep talking!"

The county magistrate next to him had just stood up, but before he could take a step, he trembled with fear and sat back down, staring at the white paper in front of him, ready to continue writing.

boom!
At this moment, a group of Qinglong guards rushed in from outside the door, led by Lou Yan, the captain of the Qinglong Division.

Behind him, there were five Qinglongsi Weiwei and dozens of Qinglong Guards.

"It's you?"

Lou Yan obviously recognized Chen Tang and let out a light exclamation.

But a hint of determination flashed across his eyes, his face darkened, and he pointed at Chen Tang and shouted, "Qinglong Guards, listen to my order, capture this man!"

"Here is the imperial token. If His Majesty comes in person, I wonder who dares to move!"

Chen Tang held the imperial token in his hand, looked at the Qinglong Guards, and said coldly: "Anyone who dares to approach is treasonous!"

Many Qinglong Guards looked at each other, feeling a bit confused and fearful.

No matter what, the Qinglong Division nominally obeys the orders of the emperor.

"What is the imperial token?"

Lou Yan said loudly: "This person's identity is fake!"

"Lou Yan ignored the token bestowed by His Majesty and attempted to rebel. Capture him!"

Chen Tang shouted loudly, but the many Azure Dragon Guards remained motionless.

The current situation was a bit confusing, and they couldn't bring themselves to take action against Lou Yan.

At this moment, several black iron balls rolled down to the feet of the many Qinglong guards.

Before they could react, several black balls suddenly exploded, emitting a choking smoke that blocked their vision!
"Cough cough!"

"Go back!"

"Where to go!"

There was a sudden chaos in the front hall, and a violent coughing sound was heard.

Bang, bang, bang!

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

In the smoke, it seemed that someone else broke in and fought with Lou Yan in the thick smoke.

"who are you……"

Lou Yan scolded harshly.

There was no response, only a violent attack.

"The city defense troops are entering the palace!"

Zhao Ruqi gave the order immediately.

There was a gentle breeze, and soon the smoke gradually dissipated, revealing that there were about twenty more people in the hall.

Lou Yan's hair was disheveled and he looked in a miserable state. He had been restrained by someone pressing his acupoints and was unable to move.

The two people standing next to him pulled off the veils on their faces. They were Yan Qi and Jing Wuming.

Qilin Guard and Suzaku Guard are all here!

"head!"

Upon seeing this, several Qinglong Division guards exclaimed and were about to step forward.

"Don't even move!"

Jing Wuming held the knife on Lou Yan's neck, his eyes sharp, and he shouted, "I am Jing Wuming, the captain of the Qilin Division, and this is Yan Qi, the captain of the Suzaku Division."

"Lord Jing, Lord Yan, there must be some misunderstanding here."

A Qinglongsi guard clasped his hands and clasped his fists, frowning and saying, "Please release our Lou Xiaowei."

Yan Qi said calmly: "Intent to attack the imperial envoy is tantamount to treason. There is no misunderstanding at all."

"What nonsense!"

Although Lou Yan couldn't move his body, he could still speak and said loudly: "This man's surname is not Yuan, his name is Chen Tang, also known as the Lion-Tiger Arhat, he is the Prince's Guardian, not an imperial envoy at all!"

"good."

Chen Tang admitted it frankly, holding a long knife and walking towards Lou Yan, nodding and saying: "I am Chen Tang."

Hearing the words "Lion-Tiger Arhat", many Azure Dragon Guards looked at each other with strange expressions.

This name has become well-known recently.

Most people who work in the court have heard of this name.

It is said that this person killed a barbarian genius in the arena in the capital and saved the face of Qian Kingdom and the emperor.

Chen Tang came to Lou Yan, smiled calmly, and said: "However, you are too behind the times. I am no longer the crown prince's guardian. This token was also handed to me by the emperor himself."

"Chen Tang, why are you so proud?"

Lou Yan sneered and said, "The emperor's new policies have angered the heavens and the people. Now that the punishment from heaven has been sent down, it is inevitable that he will lose power!"

"Without the emperor's protection, you are nothing. I wonder how long you can continue to be so arrogant!"

"I don't know how long this arrogance will last. At least, you won't be able to see it anymore."

After Chen Tang finished saying this, he raised his hand and slashed Lou Yan's throat with a knife!
Blood gushed out instantly!

"you……"

Lou Yan was stunned and looked at Chen Tang in disbelief.

He didn't expect that Chen Tang would be so cruel and didn't even give him a chance!
He was a captain of the Qinglong Division. No matter how serious the crime he committed, he would be taken to the capital and tried in the Dali Temple before being convicted.

This Chen Tang didn't even give him this opportunity!

One cut, clean and neat.
