Chapter 42: Summoning
After being severely scolded by Lu Yi and being pushed to the limit, Xiong Dingtian immediately lost his temper.
The imperial guards surrounded the place on all sides, and countless masters from various government agencies, including the Palace Guards, the Sikoutai, and the Fengtiaofangling Yamen, gathered here, equipped with long spears and halberds, heavy armor and thick shields, as well as countless strong bows and crossbows to guard all directions.
In such a situation, Xiong Dingtian took action and killed Lu Yi in public!
Such behavior is extremely stupid.
Originally, Lu Yi was only blamed for 70% to 80% of the crime, but this time, Xiong Dingtian himself firmly blamed him for 100% of the crime.
The guards and the officers of the Sikoutai surrounding Xiong Dingtian screamed and flew backwards. They had never dreamed that Xiong Dingtian would dare to fight back. Xiong Dingtian was very tall and strong, like a black bear suddenly rising up. With his arms raised, more than a dozen people rolled and flew out.
A loud roar like thunder rang out, and several Sikoutai investigators who were questioning Lu Yi's confession screamed in surprise. Blood spurted out of their ears, and the eardrums of several people were shattered by Xiong Dingtian's roar.
These expert investigators are extremely smart and meticulous. They are well versed in all the legal provisions of Dayin, as well as the explicit and implicit rules of dealings between government offices. They are top experts in handling various cases.
However, they are not included in the list of detectives of Sikoutai, and although they are proficient in paperwork, their skills are extremely weak.
The eardrum was shattered, and several good investigators dropped the paper and pen in their hands, subconsciously covered their ears with their hands, opened their mouths and screamed in pain, blood already coming out of their mouths.
The bear roared so loudly that it not only shattered their eardrums but also injured their internal organs.
In the alley, several captains of the Sikoutai were shouting in anger.
On the high building, the archers of the palace guards pulled their bows and crossbows, but they did not dare to shoot as they saw the rolling and swaying figures.
On both sides of the alley, the imperial guards shouted in unison and thrust their spears forward like a forest, trying to charge in formation, but their way was blocked by the people from the Palace Guards and the Sikoutai who were knocked away.
The coroners screamed in unison. They dropped their tools one by one, and huddled into the corner with their heads in their hands with self-awareness. Some even rolled to the sides of the alley.
Luo Qingzhou's eyes narrowed, and the soft sword at his waist came out of its sheath silently, like a spirit snake crossing the void.
With a flash of cold light, he silently caught several people from the Palace Guards and the Sikoutai who were flying towards him, dissolving the heavy force on their bodies and allowing them to land safely.
As the sword flashed, Luo Qingzhou took a step forward, more than one step faster than several constables from the Sikoutai. With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, he pounced towards Xiong Dingtian who had suddenly attacked.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Luo Qingzhou glanced sideways at a few police captains from the Sikoutai.
Seeing that their reactions and attacks were much slower than his own, Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling quite proud.
It seems that among the many government offices in the city of Haojing, the power of the Palace Guard is still much higher than that of other government offices.
Just as Luo Qingzhou was feeling proud, a gust of wind swept up beside him and rushed out with a "whoosh".
Luo Qingzhou's heart was shocked. He looked up in horror and saw only the burly figure in heavy armor.
With a loud roar, a heavy fist came down on the head, and several people around him vomited blood and rolled on the ground.
Lu Yi saw Xiong Dingtian's movements clearly.
Xiong Dingtian was extremely ferocious, but his body movements and speed were flaws. Lu Yi originally wanted to dodge and avoid a head-on confrontation with Xiong Dingtian.
However, he was surrounded by people from various government offices, and Xiong Dingtian was going to attack and kill Lu Yi in full view of everyone. If he just avoided them, it would ruin his reputation and leave him with a reputation of being "cowardly" or "slippery and ruthless".
As the heavy punch came at him, Lu Yi shouted loudly, and the Cang Hai Jing Yuan Gang that had just recovered a little in his body was shaken with all his strength, and his hands were suddenly covered with a layer of faint blue light.
A roaring sound of waves rang out in the alley. Lu Yi stood at attention and blasted out with both palms in succession, while shouting: "Okay, Xiong Dingtian, you want to kill people to silence them, and this just confirms your guilt!"
Xiong Dingtian, who pounced forward in a rage, suddenly became three points weaker in momentum and his attack became three points slower.
Lu Yi's palms swept up, "bang bang bang", and hit Xiong Dingtian's fists with more than ten consecutive palms.
A huge impact force came, and Lu Yi groaned. Every time his palms collided with Xiong Dingtian's fist, his body shook violently, and then he involuntarily took a step back.
After more than a dozen palm strikes, Lu Yi retreated more than a dozen steps. His palms felt extremely painful, as if his joints were broken. His elbows and shoulders were also dislocated. People near and far could hear the crisp "crackling" sound when Lu Yi's joints were dislocated.
Luo Qingzhou exclaimed in a busy manner: "He is indeed a good man who guards my palace."
Several constables from the Sikoutai followed Luo Qingzhou and rushed out, rushing towards Xiong Dingtian at full speed.
Hearing Luo Qingzhou's boasting, a dark-faced police chief sneered, "Palace Guard? Good man? Ha, has being a good man become so cheap these days?"
Luo Qingzhou was furious, and while charging, he did not forget to turn his head and glare at the other party.
The black-skinned captain glared at Luo Qingzhou without showing any weakness.
The two of them snorted coldly at the same time, and couldn't help but quicken their pace at the same time, rushing towards Xiong Dingtian even faster.
Lu Yi retreated more than ten steps and finally managed to stand firm, but Xiong Dingtian's heavy fist had already come down on his head with a sound of breaking through the air.
Lu Yi's arms dropped down, no longer able to resist. He let out a long and was about to use his body skills to avoid Xiong Dingtian, but a burly figure suddenly rushed past him from behind and punched directly at Xiong Dingtian's heavy fist.
There was a loud bang.
It was like a muffled thunder in the alley.
Xiong Dingtian let out a howl of extreme pain, and his right arm shattered into pieces with a "crackling" sound. This man actually hit his entire arm with one punch, and it broke into pieces like a piece of sugarcane.
Seeing Xiong Dingtian's arms twisting and shaking strangely, his flesh was torn apart, and pieces of white broken bones with blood flew out from the torn flesh, like arrows, breaking through the body and flying far away with a sharp whistle.
Xiong Dingtian let out a loud howl.
The burly figure in heavy armor took a step forward, allowing Xiong Dingtian's left fist to hit his chest hard in pain.
"Bang!"
Xiong Dingtian's left arm was hit by the man, and his left arm suffered the same fate as his right arm, and was also broken into pieces.
Then, the man rushed into Xiong Dingtian's arms with great brute force, and leaned heavily against Xiong Dingtian's chest like a mountain.
Xiong Dingtian's chest caved in and his ribs cracked with a sound like popping beans. His huge body flew backwards, his feet lifted more than half a foot off the ground. Like a nimble swallow, he glided backwards for more than ten feet and crashed head-on into a team of imperial guards formed at the other end of the alley.
Several thick steel shields made of rhinoceros skin with painted animal faces stopped Xiong Dingtian from flying backwards. Then there was a loud noise and the soldiers of the imperial guards holding heavy shields were knocked back one after another. Dozens of tall and strong elite imperial guards were knocked to the ground and Xiong Dingtian was able to stop himself with the help of the shielding force.
A mouthful of old blood spurted out seven or eight feet away, and Xiong Dingtian's face turned pale. He stared straight at the burly figure who had seriously injured him, unable to utter a word. He rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.
"A bunch of trash!" The burly man who had attacked brazenly and severely injured Xiong Dingtian with one blow clapped his hands and said slowly, "What a bunch of trash."
Turning around, the burly man pointed at Luo Qingzhou and several constables who were rushing towards them.
"Oh, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not referring to any of you in particular. I'm saying that, except for my imperial guards, all of you present here, whether you're from a prison, a bureau, or a government office, are fucking useless."
Shaking his head, the young man, who was over eight feet tall, shaped like a bear, with a face like a xiezhi, and an arrogant and domineering demeanor, looked up to the sky and sighed: "The country spends a lot of salary every year, but it actually supports a bunch of useless people like you?"
"Well, in my opinion, I should just drive you all away and let you go back to your old ways. I can save your salaries and use them all to support my imperial guards. The number of my imperial guards can at least be increased several times, tsk tsk."
In the alley, everyone who was not part of the imperial guards, including the guards, constables, yamen runners, and military marquises from the Palace Guards, the Sikou Office, and the Fengtiaofangling Yamen, had red faces and ears, and inexplicably developed a sense of "common hatred against a common enemy", staring at the arrogant and domineering man with unfriendly eyes.
But no one said a word.
First of all, this man was indeed able to severely injure and subdue Xiong Dingtian easily.
Secondly, he is Le Shan, the left general of the imperial army stationed in Fengtiaofang. His surname is "Le", the same Le as the great general Le Wu of this dynasty, and also the "Le" of the current Empress Dowager Le.
"Nothing to say?" Le Shan chuckled a few times, crossed his arms, and walked back two steps with his arms crossed.
Walking past Lu Yi, Le Shan suddenly reached out and patted Lu Yi's shoulder vigorously. He then compared his own height with Lu Yi's and was surprised to find that Lu Yi was actually more than an inch taller than him.
"Good man, that's right. With your character and appearance, it's a pity for you to join the Palace Guards. They are a bunch of despicable bastards who specialize in doing dirty work... How about joining my Imperial Guards? As long as you come in, I will give you a career as a powerful lieutenant."
Luo Qingzhou was angry.
He coughed heavily and said, "General Le, Lu Yi is my palace guard."
Le Shan rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle: "I just heard his name is Lu Yu. He is the Lu Yu who made Bai Changkong vomit blood in the street. That's why I am interested in recruiting him."
Le Shan smiled at Lu Yi and said, "Think about it carefully, ok?"
Luo Qingzhou's face became increasingly gloomy.
Lu Yi smiled at Leshan and said nothing.
Shuiying, the Fengtiaofang commander, who had just been standing at the entrance of the alley and had not made any movement when Xiong Dingtian suddenly attacked, now stood with her hands behind her back, staring at Lu Yi with eyes as cold as spring water, without blinking.
At this moment, a clear cry sounded from the sky.
A huge white crane with a wingspan of over two meters flapped its wings and slowly descended. A short and thin eunuch who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old jumped down from the crane's back.
Panting, the young eunuch shouted loudly: "Oh, who is in charge here? Come on, the emperor summons you, hurry up!"
