Han official!

Chapter 36 Ming Dy
Wei Guang, who was standing next to him, was filled with anger when he heard this. As a cavalry slave, he hated being looked down upon the most.

Jia Ziguang actually despised his brother Guo Jie. What was even more hateful was that a poor gatehouse chief dared to look down on the Gaojie chief who had been repeatedly appreciated by the Chang'an Wei.

"Snapped!"

Wei Guang picked up the copper wine cup on the table and swung it hard, smashing it towards Jia Ziguang's face. "Today, I will take your life! How dare you, a little boy who has offended Dou Pengzu and is so scared that he hides in the Jiashe courtyard and dares not go out, look down on me? Ah, ah, ah, I will teach you that the Gaojie Duting is the most ruthless Duting among the many Dutings in Chang'an!"

He gripped the iron halberd with the word "卜" tightly in his hand, swept it with force, and smashed it towards the garrison soldier holding a red-painted double-arc shield who was blocking in front of him.

Several knights in crimson clothes drew their two-foot swords and followed closely behind, charging towards Jia Ziguang who was standing next to Fu Yu. Their eyes were gloomy, and they did not charge directly, but tried to bypass the gaps in the garrison formation.

Guo Jie's face was gloomy. He immediately walked out of the main room and took out the small copper crossbow hidden in his sleeve. It was an exquisite and compact hand crossbow specially made by a craftsman. It was not very powerful, but its biggest advantage was that it was easy to hide.

He stood under the corridor with small double eaves and shot a special copper arrow installed on a copper crossbow into the sky.

Whoosh! Whoosh! A sharp explosion echoed in the cold winter sky!

The bronze whistling arrow is a special crossbow arrow, cast in bronze and cylindrical in shape. Four long air holes are drilled in the body of the arrow and embedded in the end of the arrow shaft. As the crossbow arrow flies through the air at a high speed, the long air holes pass through a large amount of air and make a harsh sound.

The explosion was very loud, and it happened in mid-air. There were no walls or houses to block the sound, and it could be heard clearly a mile away!

"kill!"

At the main gate with a sheep's head hanging on it, dozens of knights in crimson clothes heard the whistling of bronze arrows and immediately drew out their two-foot swords and rushed in. The Jia family members at the gate wanted to stop them, but were beheaded from behind by several knights in crimson clothes who climbed over the wall.

The tall rammed earth wall could not stop the crimson-clad knights from Hui Ren's family.

Zhang Qian suddenly turned his head and looked towards the sky above the main room, and heard the whistling of bronze arrows again.

One sound means take action.

The second tone is urgent.

The third sound means that the enemy is too numerous to resist and should be evacuated from the powerful's Jiashe courtyard as soon as possible.

Zhang Qian's face changed when he heard two sharp sounds of bronze arrows, which meant that he needed to rush to the rescue as soon as possible. He drew out his ring-handled sword and stared at the door of the warehouse not far away.

More than fifty Jia family knights, armed with ring-handled swords and red-painted double-arc shields, blocked the door.

The leader, wearing the standard fine linen robes of a frontier fortress fire chief, heard the shrill whistles of the bronze arrowheads and immediately shouted, "The first squad will hold shields and block the entrance to the inner chamber. The second and third squads will be ready to support the first squad at any time. The fourth and fifth squads will patrol the walls on both sides of the warehouse to prevent thieves from climbing over the walls."

Zhang Qian faced dozens of Jia family knights who formed an army formation. Although they were far less elite than the main house's garrison soldiers, he was able to unite a group of rabble into one.

"kill"

Zhang Qian's mind suddenly hardened as he charged forward. "One day, while accompanying the Han envoys to the Western Regions, if I encounter Xiongnu envoys on the same mission, I will rush into their camp and kill them all without hesitation. What's more, they are just a bunch of stupid thieves from powerful families!"

People at the bottom of society can only fight for their lives.

There is a way out!

"boom!"

Two sounds of bronze arrows rang out in the air, alerting Zhang Qian in the warehouse and Ji Shaogong and his two companions who were lying in ambush outside the Jiashe courtyard. Guo Jie put away the bronze crossbow trigger, hung it on his waist, kicked over the table, and rushed towards Jia Ziguang.

The soldiers stationed at the border understood the military formations, and they were unable to use the iron halberds in the room, which greatly hindered Wei Guang. He was unable to break free from the soldiers, and was so angry that he screamed.

Guo Jie came closer and observed the situation inside the white-walled room. He sneered and quickly walked to the horseshoe-shaped stove. He kicked the cauldron that was bubbling with steam. "Bang!"

The red-hot cauldron made a dull sound and smashed towards the garrison formation not far away. The boiling hot soup splashed out, which was comparable to the golden juice used when defending the city. The soup with dogwood and coarse salt was poured on the airtight bun of the garrison soldiers and flowed onto their bearded faces.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

The soldiers let out shrill screams, threw away the ring-handled swords and red-painted double-arc shields in their hands, covered their faces, and rolled on the ground. Due to the severe pain, their robes and trousers were torn.

"Which way to go!"

Guo Jie shouted loudly, and with amazing physical strength, he rushed to Jia Ziguang at a speed. "I am not here today to collect corvée labor. I am here on the orders of the Chang'an Wei to arrest you, the foolish thief who hid armor."

Secretly hoarding armor?

Jia Ziguang was confused. He didn't understand what Guo Jie meant. When had he ever hidden armor? There was not a single set of armor with red ribbons in the armor house in Guo's quarters, so how could he have hidden armor?

"boom!"

Before Jia Ziguang could react, Guo Jie kicked him on the knee under his long purple robe. With a "crack", the knee was broken on the spot. He screamed and fell backwards, knocking over the branch lantern that only nobles and powerful people could afford.

Lamp oil is precious, and more than ten lamps can be lit on the branch lamp at the same time, which is extremely luxurious.

"what!!!"

When Jia Ziguang was young, he was also a hero who roamed all over Nanyang County. He was more famous than Guo Jie, who was a violent man in the county. But at this time, he was like a chicken or dog waiting to be slaughtered, lying on the ground and wailing.

Everything happened so fast that by the time the Jia family knights outside the tiled corridor reacted, the main room was already in chaos, with everyone's mouths wide open in shock.

"Wei Guang."

Guo Jie shouted loudly, grabbed Jia Ziguang by the collar of his long purple robe, and shouted, "Drag him away and find Zhang Qian!"

"promise!"

Wei Guang was looked down upon by Jia Ziguang and was filled with hatred. What's wrong with being born a cavalry slave? Who doesn't want to have a good background? I can't change my birth, so why should I be looked down upon by the powerful and rich?

It's just that he came from a good family.

If you have the guts, let’s have a one-on-one fight and see who has the last laugh!
Wei Guang grabbed Jia Ziguang's collar, still filled with resentment. His bloodshot eyes glared at the soldier writhing on the ground, and he swung his iron halberd with the inscription "卜" (divine symbol) across his face. "He eats the imperial salary, yet he doesn't think of killing the Xiongnu. Instead, he aids the powerful and acts as an accomplice to the evil. He deserves death."

The iron halberd with the character "卜" beheaded several garrison soldiers on the spot.

Several knights in crimson robes knew that the garrison soldiers in front of them were the biggest threat. While the garrison soldiers were still dazed and had not reacted, they immediately cut the necks of the garrison soldiers who were still standing, and then stabbed the garrison soldiers on the ground to death one by one.

All the enemies in the main room were wiped out.

The Jia family knights in the tiled courtyard finally reacted and rushed in one by one with two-foot swords in their hands. The corridors were crowded with people, staring at Guo Jie and others with hatred.

Guo Jie showed no fear at all. He pinched Jia Ziguang's neck as if he were holding a pheasant. "Jia Ziguang's possession of armor is punishable by death. Do you want to die with him?"
