Volume 4: Holy Capital Tribulation Chapter 252: Heavenly Punishment
"Wow wow...I'll kill you!"
These mad Yulin guards roared angrily, as if they had seen some kind of hallucination.
After knocking down the Jinwu Guards one by one, they would either grab the opponent's neck madly and try to strangle them to death.
Or he would draw out his heavy sword and slash at the opponent fiercely...
However, not all of the Yulin Guards went crazy. A small number of them felt dizzy after vomiting and fainted on the spot.
There were also a smaller number of people who were fine. They looked at their comrades in arms in a daze as they suddenly turned into murderous monsters. They were all terrified.
While they were frightened, the frantic soldiers pushed them to the ground...
Swish…
ah……
As the heavy sword broke through the air, a Jinwu Guard was hit on the cheek by the mad Yulin Guard. Blood gushed out immediately and the man rolled on the ground wailing in pain.
Then another mad Yulin Guard slashed at him with a sword, and the man closed his eyes in despair.
However, after waiting for a while, he found that he was not hacked to death.
When he opened his eyes
Immediately afterwards, the man's center of gravity dropped, and even though the mad soldier was big and strong, he still fell to the ground headfirst like a bull hitting a wall.
The fall was so severe that he fainted.
The person who acted in time was none other than the slightly short Ah Xiu.
"What...what did I say?" Ash rushed towards another frantic soldier and said to the sober Jinwu Guards, "Something has happened to the Holy Capital. These people have taken poison and have been bewitched!"
“Ah? This… this…”
At this moment, the golden-armored guards guarding the city gate were all stunned. They had been guarding the palace gate for so long and had never seen such a weird thing.
"Everyone listen to my orders," Ash shouted, "We must protect the safety of the palace even if it costs our lives. The Jinwu Guards that just entered are the biggest threat.
"So, you must now split into two teams. One team will follow me in to rescue the emperor, and the other team will stop these crazy soldiers and prevent them from entering!"
"yes!"
The Jinwu Guards are all excellent soldiers who have received the most rigorous training. Seeing the situation before them, everyone knows exactly what they should do.
"Listen, listen..." The one who was slashed in the face happened to be the sergeant of the Jinwu Guard. He immediately shouted loudly, "Those on duty in the inner courtyard, follow this inner guard to rescue the emperor, and those on duty in the outer courtyard, guard the palace gate. Whoever dares to rush in, no matter if he is a human or a monster, beat him out!"
"yes!!!"
After the sergeant shouted like this, the morale of the Jinwu Guard soldiers was immediately boosted. They broke free from the Yulin Guard soldiers who were charging and tearing them apart, and then divided into two teams in an orderly manner.
One team fought with these crazy soldiers, while the other team quickly retreated into the palace gate.
After retreating into the palace gate, they saw that the young eunuch who had brought the news had died in the flowers beside the gate due to excessive bleeding.
Before everyone had time to take a closer look, they heard screams of fear and howling everywhere in the palace...
…
At the same time, a team of inner guards had already arrived at the Beiya Army. They came this time to arrest the minor officials who were promoted by Yan Hai, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
However, as soon as they entered the Bei Ya, they found that the place was already in chaos. Many people had red eyes and pounced on anyone they saw. Others had already drawn their weapons and hacked and killed indiscriminately. Everyone was screaming and shouting, and was extremely manic.
"Oh no! Envoy Xu was right!" After seeing this, the head of the inner guards immediately turned his horse around and ordered the inner guards, "We can't take care of this place anymore . Let's go to the military kitchen!"
"yes!"
After a while, a group of inner guards came to the place where the army cooked. The number of Northern Yamen Forbidden Army was large, so the scale of cooking and dining was naturally extremely large. There was a separate military camp used as a restaurant, and a whole row of bungalows at the back were stoves.
At this moment, rice was cooking in the big pot on the stove, and some kitchen helpers were carrying buckets of food to the dining area in front to provide meals to the imperial guards.
"Quick!" the head of the inner guards immediately ordered, "You guys go to the restaurant and inform the officer in charge to tell everyone to stop eating. No one is allowed to eat anything else!"
"yes!"
"Everyone else, follow me to the kitchen," the commander ordered, "tell them to stop cooking!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the guards immediately rushed into the kitchen and took all the cooks, kitchen assistants, and clerks in charge to the open space outside.
These people didn't know what was going on and they all looked at the guards in confusion.
"Come here," the commander called a clerk over, then read out a name on the list and asked, "Do you know this person?"
"ah?"
Unexpectedly, the clerk's eyes suddenly changed and he turned around and ran away.
Swish…
The inner guards were no pushovers, and immediately a crossbow arrow shot from somewhere, knocking the clerk to the ground.
"Ah..." The clerk cried out in pain, covering his wound.
The commander came close, stepped on him and shouted, "You are confessing yourself! Tell me, where is your poison?"
As a result, with the commander's shout, several people ran out of the crowd!
"Damn, that many!?"
The commander was dumbfounded. There were so many people just to defend against the poison. How much poison would they have?
…
At the same time, dangerous situations also occurred on the streets of the Holy City. Many patrolling imperial guards turned into murderous demons in the blink of an eye and began to frantically attack their teammates and innocent people on the street...
Among them, somewhere in Jianyefang, a mad soldier pounced on a passerby and rushed into a shop with the passerby.
As a result, the shop's door plaque fell down and hit a little girl on the head at the door of the shop.
call……
A strong wind blew by, and the door plaque shattered and exploded above the little girl's head, but the little girl was not hurt.
"Wow..." Even so, the little girl was still scared and started crying.
"Little sister, don't cry, don't cry," a middle-aged man with a goatee and an ordinary face walked by. He squatted beside the little girl and comforted her, "I'll ask your father and mother to buy you some candy later! Hehe..."
“Wow!”
The next second, the mad soldier stood up from the collapsed shop, and after seeing the middle-aged man, he immediately rushed over like crazy.
The middle-aged man still kept smiling and didn't even stand up. He just threw a punch in the air lightly.
Then the mad soldier flew backwards as if he had been hit by a giant hammer, and hit the wall and fainted...
…
At the same time, outside the east wall of Wanfu Palace.
With a slight noise, several ropes dropped from the courtyard wall several meters high.
Immediately afterwards, people began to slide down the high wall along the ropes.
It was obvious that these people all had kung fu skills, as they slid down as lightly as a swallow without making any sound.
However, although they did not make any sound, the palace was already filled with shouts and screams, and was in chaos.
The first to come down were two men and one woman. The two men were wearing the armor of the Jinwu Guards, but their faces were hideous, which looked very inconsistent with the real Jinwu Guards.
The woman was wearing the clothes of a palace maid and her face was as white as wax paper, like a female version of Bai Wuchang.
"Well, I told you so," the woman snorted, "It's already a mess inside, why are you changing clothes? It's so messy and ugly!"
"That's right, that's right," one of the men with gloomy eyes said, "Saint Qu is so fair, it's only appropriate for her to pretend to be a princess."
"I think," a man with triangular eyes and scars on the corners of his eyes said jokingly, "Saint Qu is more like a queen mother, hehe..."
"You..." The woman's eyes were immediately filled with murderous intent.
However, with the appearance of a person behind her, she could only suppress her anger and remained silent.
But the person descending from behind was a woman dressed in silk and satin, dressed like a noble lady in the palace.
Although the woman is old, she takes such good care of herself that she looks radiant and energetic, and you can't tell her actual age at all.
Her demeanor was so graceful and elegant that if anyone in the palace saw her, they would simply think she was the empress of that palace.
After the woman appeared, the three people in front stopped acting rashly and immediately gave up their seats to let the graceful woman stand in the front.
The woman looked up at the towering Wanfu Palace, with an indescribable excitement in her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, behind them, more people came down from the top of the wall along the ropes.
Row after row, row after row...
In just a short moment, as many as a hundred people descended!
Each of these people was agile and murderous, and among them were many beautiful young women.
These women were none other than the Xuanmen female assassins who had mysteriously disappeared before.
After seeing everyone gathered, the elegant woman at the front said with a firm look:
"The upper Xuan destroys the dissidents, and all the gods return to their origin. The upper nine gates are cut off, and the lower ones are destroyed. If the Xuan has the Tao, it is extremely mysterious; if the Xuan has no Tao, it will surely suffer a heavenly calamity...
“Lin Ziniang…” She had an evil smile on her face, “I’m here to collect your debt, be prepared to accept your heavenly punishment!”
