Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 107 Bloodbath at the City Lord's Mansion
The rioting warriors who were hiding on the side pushed the large number of people who had been instigated and bewitched by them and brought them in front of the guards.

Then, another group of warriors were dispatched to stand behind the people, preventing them from retreating.

However, the warriors who were standing behind the common people squeezed forward in twos and threes, forming a small-scale guerrilla force, and constantly attacked the guards from the cracks.

These warriors who were causing trouble knew that each of the royal guards was difficult to deal with and that the problem could not be easily solved, so they had made preparations to deal with it early in the morning.

The guards suddenly felt a headache when they saw the people rushing forward and a group of warriors following closely behind them.

If the people did not participate, it would be no problem for the royal guards to deal with the problem even if ten teams came, let alone one.

But once civilians were involved, the guards would not dare to act rashly, for fear of hurting them by mistake.

When Lord Bai first took office in Qizhou, he issued a death order to his personal guards, forbidding them to touch the people without permission. If there was any problem, they had to report it first and then deal with it.

In fact, City Lord Bai's personal guards completely did not understand or agree with this approach.

But as they got along with City Lord Bai day after day, the guards felt more and more that City Lord Bai was not an inflexible person. On the contrary, he was a rare good city lord.

Therefore, since then, the guards gradually began to admire Lord Bai and strictly obeyed his orders.

But now, the guards were surrounded by the people and could not move forward or backward.

In this way, no matter how strong the force is, it cannot be used, which is no different from simply tying up the hands and feet.

While the guards were busy dealing with the troublemakers, an elite force rushed straight to the City Lord's Mansion...

The guards who were surrounded by the people seemed a little at a loss, and were more or less confused by the situation.

At this time, although one of the bodyguards was also a little dazed by the siege, he calmed down a little and looked around for a solution.

His eyes rolled around until he realized something was wrong. He fixed his gaze on one spot and observed it carefully.

Looking at the suspicious group hurrying towards the City Lord's Mansion, he confirmed his suspicions and shouted to the other guards, "Look over there! Their target isn't us, it's the City Lord's Mansion."

The words were spoken neatly and decisively.

Upon hearing this, the guards turned their heads and looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

After confirming those figures, all the guards became nervous at the same time.

After a while, the guards began to talk among themselves, and the crowd became even more excited...

One of the guards seemed to have made up his mind. He nodded to himself and was the first to speak out his thoughts.

"We can't be trapped here. They're sure we won't touch the people. If we just sit there and wait, we'll fall into their trap."

"That's right! We abide by those rules, but that's as long as it doesn't endanger the City Lord's Mansion. In this situation, we can't wait any longer!" The personal guard who replied was even more straightforward.

The discussions among the guards became more and more frequent, and their voices became louder and louder. Most of them were inspired by the words of the two guards who spoke earlier, and their morale was boosted.

But a team has a large number of people, and there is not just one idea, so it is inevitable that different voices will appear.

At this moment, one of the guards really poured cold water on the entire team, stopping the guards' ever-growing thoughts: "City Lord Bai has issued a death order. The civilians cannot be touched."

After saying this, not only did the entire guard team show dissatisfaction, but even the people who surrounded the guards started talking at once.

……

The guards had different opinions and argued endlessly.

Their determination to reach a conclusion inevitably distracted them from their own thoughts. The guards, constantly being beaten and scolded by the people, could have focused on themselves, easily blocking every attack from the people.

But once an argument breaks out, they become somewhat reckless and can only subconsciously block a few times occasionally, or only when they are really hurt, will they withdraw some of their attention and focus on themselves.

As the saying goes, you can't do two things at once. If you keep thinking in your brain and talking with your mouth, it will definitely affect your performance in other areas.

……

Seeing the endless argument among the guards, the troublemakers who were standing behind the common people could no longer bear it and started to speak up.

"Don't waste your energy! We're stopping you for your own good. Let me tell you, today, we're going to massacre the City Lord's Mansion."

The troublemaker guard spoke with a firm attitude and a very arrogant tone, full of disdain for the guards.

"Just wait here. You won't die and you can still remain loyal." Another person said jokingly to the guards.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After the troublemaker finished speaking, a burst of laughter followed.

The roaring laughter of the troublemakers was filled with irony.

All the guards looked very aggrieved about this. They gritted their teeth, and some of them had reached their limit of patience, staring with their eyes wide open, ready to explode at any moment.

As things developed to this point, it was obvious that all the guards were extremely anxious, but they had indeed not come up with a unified plan.

Without a consensus, there is no way to make up one's mind.

"Are we going to do nothing and wait for Qizhou City to be destroyed in their hands?" One of the guards could not help but questioned the other guards in a rage.

The guards glanced at the one who spoke, then turned their heads and set their eyes on the deputy chief of the guards.

The deputy chief of the imperial guards had a serious expression on his face, and coupled with his naturally aloof temperament, he looked as if he was telling people not to approach him or disturb him.

No one in the city doesn't know the title of the Chief of the Guards. Even the guards in the team usually only obey the orders of the Chief of the Guards. The presence of this aloof deputy chief of the guards is indeed a bit low.

He usually acted and carried out missions with ordinary guards. He had never received any special treatment due to his status, and naturally, he had not taken on the responsibility of assisting in the management of the guards.

It can be said that he only has the title of deputy chief of the imperial guards.

He lived a dull life. In the eyes of the guards who ate and lived with him, his mood did not fluctuate much from day to day. He was always indifferent and a little apathetic.

On weekdays, he is taciturn, let alone giving any orders to the team. As the deputy chief of the personal guards, he actually has no authority in the team and has little say.

And there is a reason why he was able to become the deputy chief of the imperial guards.

Because he has good aptitude for martial arts, and he trains diligently and is strict with himself, his current martial arts level is very high, and he is an outstanding existence even among the top martial artists.

Unfortunately, he devoted all his attention to martial arts and did not know how to adapt.

……

One of the guards in the team stretched his neck and looked forward to it. He said to the deputy guard captain, "The city lord is not here, and neither is the guard captain. You make the decision, and we will follow your lead."

"Yes, we brothers will do whatever you tell us to do. The captain of the personal guard is not here, so you have the final say now!"
