Chapter 229 Entering the Hou Mansion
"Stop! This is Nanqinghou's Mansion, don't let anyone else come near!"
As soon as Chu Tang approached the gate of the Hou Mansion, two soldiers guarding the door stepped forward and blocked his way.
The two men were holding long spears, looking solemn and mighty, with indifferent expressions.
Chu Tang looked at them a few more times and said with a smile, "Aren't you the guards of the Hou Mansion?"
One of them shouted: "Yes or no, what do you want to do?"
Chu Tang said: "If it were the guards of the Hou Mansion, they would not be able to recognize Chu."
"Chu...are you Chu Tang?" The two guards immediately took a few steps back as if facing a formidable enemy, picked up their spears and made defensive movements, and said threateningly, "The surname is Chu, my garrison is ordered to guard the prince. Mansion! Please don’t make it difficult for us and retreat quickly!”
"The garrison?" Chu Tang was stunned at first, and then laughed, "I didn't expect that the arrogant and domineering Crown Prince Nanqing, who was always used to his majesty, would be so afraid of death. He was so unconfident even if he had guards to guard him, and he had to call in The garrison troops go to the Marquis' Mansion to defend themselves! If you use official weapons for personal use, you are worthy of being a soldier of Yao's court!"
One soldier said in embarrassment: "We just obey orders and do what we are told. Don't ask why."
"Don't ask why!" Chu Tang sneered, "What if Chu insists on going in?"
"Then we'll have to fight to the death to stop him!"
Chu Tang was silent for a moment and said: "You are acting according to military orders, and Mr. Chu is acting according to Yao's laws. Today, as a police officer, Mr. Chu wants to enter the house to arrest people. You and others are going to fight with Dayao's laws." Is the law right?"
He raised his profile a lot, and used the court's laws and justice to suppress others.
The duty of the garrison is to defend against large groups of troops attacking the city, or to go to the surrounding areas to suppress bandits. This is also their job. However, it is not their responsibility to take care of the yamen arresting people quickly.
The two looked at each other and finally shook their heads and said: "The military order is like a mountain, we have to obey it!"
Chu Tang nodded heavily and said, "Then don't blame Chu for being cruel!"
Today, he is full of murderous intent, just for the purpose, no matter the process, no one can stop his will!
"Get out of the way!" After Chu Tang shouted in a low voice, he took a long stride and Ling Bo made a small move. When the two soldiers were caught off guard, he jumped between them.
"Ah!" The two soldiers only felt a gust of wind blowing by, and the person in front of them disappeared. When they met again, they had passed through their defense and entered the door threshold.
"Stay!" The two of them were shocked. Two spears were thrust out at the same time, stabbing Chu Tang in the back.
Chu Tang only felt the wind blowing behind him, and did not look back. He just let out a hey, flashed his body, and his steps became even weirder. He rushed forward and let the two spears miss.
"Damn it! Come back!" The two soldiers were furious and rushed into the gate of the Hou Mansion, shouting "enemy attack".
Whoosh whoosh!
The movement here quickly alerted the defense forces inside, and a group of soldiers patrolling nearby rushed over neatly.
They were all dressed in bright armor, and they moved in the same way. They all held red-tasseled spears. They were dressed the same as the two previous soldiers. They must have been members of the garrison.
Chu Tang's face looked ugly. Judging from the situation, many garrison forces came to Nanqinghou Mansion.
"Wang Haochen, you bastard!" Chu Tang was furious. He knew that this trip was difficult, but he had no intention of going against the garrison.
Nearly twenty spears were held in a circle, surrounding Chu Tang in the middle.
"Chu Tang, this is the Marquis Nanqing's Mansion, and you won't be allowed to be arrogant!" The guard who was guarding the door shouted again, "Get back quickly, I can let you go!"
Chu Tang glanced at them coldly and said: "Chu is a police officer from the Yamen. This trip is to capture the traitors in the Marquis Mansion. They are enforcing the laws of Yao. If you help Zhou commit evil, If you persist in your obsession, you will be as guilty as the person who committed the crime! As a police officer, you have the right to take down all the criminal accomplices. However, if you have no eyesight with swords and guns, if you use your hands, death and injury are inevitable! You are all soldiers, and it is your duty to protect your home and country. It’s your duty to wait, not to be someone’s lackey in a prince’s mansion!”
All the soldiers looked at each other.
"We, the garrison, are following the order of the general to guard Nanqinghou Mansion and protect the safety of the prince and son!" a soldier said loudly.
"Then let each of you do your own thing!" Chu Tang sighed, "The person Chu came to pick up today is Wang Haochen! Even if you haven't seen him in person, you must have heard about him. Since you insist on protecting him, then in Chu In my opinion, I am no longer an innocent person! When you meet the King of Hell, don’t blame Chu for not reminding you!"
"Boy, you are arrogant!" Suddenly, another spear squad rushed over. One of them was in armor, like a general. As he came up to meet him, he angrily shouted, "We, the garrison, are doing things, and you will not tolerate your comments! This is Qingcheng. It’s not you Guijun!”
Chu Tang looked at this general man in his thirties and laughed: "I know Guijun, it seems you know who Chu is."
The general said with a cold face: "The majesty of Chief Chu has been spreading throughout Qingcheng for nearly a month. No one knows about it, no one knows about it!"
Chu Tang said: "Since we know how powerful Chu is, how dare you and dozens of other people stop me?"
The general said expressionlessly: "Dozens of people can't do it, but what about hundreds?"
Chu Tang was startled and said, "How many hundreds of people are you here?"
The general clasped his fists and said, "Pan Changgong, the general of the Qingcheng garrison, was ordered to lead five hundred brothers to guard Nanqinghou Mansion! Among them, there are two hundred swordsmen, two hundred spearmen, and one hundred crossbowmen."
Facing the enemy, he described the military situation here in detail without showing any signs of vigilance.
But Chu Tang knew that the other party was showing off his muscles and warned him!
There is only one meaning: I have many brothers and all the equipment. If you are wise, run away!
But will Chu Tang be frightened?
"General Pan, right?" Chu Tang pointed to the surroundings and said, "There are many buildings in the Marquis Mansion, and there are also many rockery pavilions and trees. This kind of terrain is not conducive to your march. So what if there are many people? Haven't you heard of Chu Is Mr. Chu the best at Qinggong? People like this can’t scare Mr. Chu!”
Pan Changgong said coldly: "Then you can give it a try."
Chu Tang looked around again and asked: "Where are the guards of the Hou Mansion? Where is Wang Haochen? Where is Pei Nu? There is such a big commotion here. They must have received the news. Why don't they dare to come to see Chu? Do you want you to be the scapegoat and consume Chu first?"
Pan Changgong still had a cold face: "Your Excellency, there is no need to provoke the generals. This will not shake our military morale! If you want to see the crown prince, just walk past us!"
Chu Tang smiled.
He had been preparing for so many days, and had built up his momentum so much, but failed to do so. Wouldn't it mean that his inner demons were really affecting his mind?
Keng!
Without saying a word, Chu Tang responded by drawing the divine weapon Yitian.
Pan Changgong's pupils shrank, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the soldiers to start forming formation.
The nearly fifty soldiers in front of me should be from the pike team, and the posture of each person holding the gun is generally the same.
They lined up in twos and threes, some in a single character, some in a herringbone, some in a square, or some in a circle, pressing towards Chu Tang step by step.
Chu Tang glanced around coldly, and without saying a word, he rushed into the crowd with a slight step using Lingbo with his sword.
"Go! Stop him!" Pan Changgong shouted. He used a long knife and rushed towards Chu Tang's figure as fast as lightning.
when!
His sword was easily blocked by Chu Tang's sword.
"Gang Qi?" After sensing the other party's power, Chu Tang couldn't help but smile coldly, "With the cultivation of the four realms, I can't stop Chu!"
As he said that, his left hand turned into a palm and struck out Kang Long Youhui with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
hold head high!
The sound of breaking through the air was deafening, and the fierce palm wind hit Pan Changgong's chest, causing him to fly up with a bang.
However, Chu Tang didn't even look at him. He was like a dragon and moved like a rabbit. He moved left and right from the spear array in a few seconds.
Although he knew that these low-level soldiers were quite innocent, Chu Tang, who knew that today was in trouble, showed no mercy at all. Every time he flashed, he would either stab with the sword in his right hand, or attack with the palm or fingers of his left hand in coordination with each other. Wave.
The palms are the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and the fingers are Yang fingers.
For a moment, the wind of the palm or the force of the fingers struck in all directions, causing dozens of people in the garrison to flip over and wail repeatedly.
In just a few breaths, Chu Tang passed through their encirclement and rushed into the Nanqinghou Mansion.
"Ah..." When Pan Changgong vomited blood and got up, he could only see Chu Tang's back pulling out afterimages in the air, and he couldn't catch up.
Looking around again, he was completely cold and took a few breaths of cold air——
The spear formation he had always been proud of, a battle formation composed of dozens of people, could compete with one or two hundred barbarian soldiers on the battlefield, but now it was so dead and injured that almost no one could still stand. It's alive!
Either lie on the ground and wait for death, or wail and struggle on the ground.
Some had holes poked in their bodies, and some had their limbs broken.
There was also a pool of blood on the ground!
"This..." Pan Changgong was angry and angry, and his heart sank to the bottom.
"Is it difficult for Jianghu strongmen to compete with ordinary military formations? No wonder the imperial court wants to set up a crossbow array, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" After Pan Changgong sighed with emotion, he immediately realized that he could not delay now.
He had to catch up with Chu Tang and continue to form a formation to fight against him, otherwise the Nanqinghou Mansion would be penetrated by him!
"I still have hundreds of brothers behind me, and I still have the strength to fight!" Pan Changgong encouraged himself, and then told his men in front of him to rescue the wounded, and then followed Chu Tang's trail.
Along the way, Pan Changgong also saw several guards lying on the ground.
That was the defense force of Nanqinghou Mansion, and they were either injured or dead, lying straight on the ground.
"Is this Chu Tang going crazy?" Pan Changgong had an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
This Chu Tang is not a kind person. He went to the Hou Mansion today and vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal. He will kill anyone who blocks his way!
"This guy's murderous nature is so terrifying!" After turning a few corners in the yard, Pan Changgong counted at least nearly twenty guards lying on the ground.
When he came to the backyard and heard the clanging sounds inside, he couldn't help but feel a sudden thought: "No! This is the courtyard where Nanqinghou Crown Prince is resting! Did Chu Tang fight inside?"
Pan Changgong didn't dare to stay, so he rushed into a courtyard with a long knife.
When he first saw the scene in the field, he was stunned——
There are heads everywhere in the rather small courtyard!
There were his soldiers, as well as soldiers from the Hou Mansion, totaling nearly five to six hundred people.
Pan Changgong also saw Wang Haochen. Under the protection of a group of soldiers and guards, he stood at the rear and faced Chu Tang.
Looking at Chu Tang again, he was already surrounded by hundreds of people.
Around him, there were three layers inside and three layers outside, filled with people, including both guards and garrison troops.
Under his feet, more than a dozen guards and soldiers were lying down, and his white clothes were dyed red with blood.
"General Pan, you are here, hurry up, let your soldiers kill this thief!" Pei Nu, who was standing in front of Wang Haochen, was happy when he saw Pan Changgong and shouted.
Pan Changgong made a few gestures, and immediately, the hundreds of soldiers who had surrounded Chu Tang began to run.
They changed the encirclement situation, and instead formed an array in layers to stand in front of Wang Haochen and confront Chu Tang.
In the first line was the spear team, divided into three or four lines, holding up their spears and pointing the blades at Chu Tang, like walls.
The second formation is the broadsword team. Standing behind the spear team, it is also divided into two or three lines. They can advance to attack and retreat to defend.
Finally, there were hundreds of crossbowmen, divided into several rows, bending their bows and setting arrows, facing Chu Tang from a distance.
It is indeed a garrison that has been on the battlefield and is capable of recruiting and fighting. Just this well-organized, offensive and defensive array is countless times stronger than many rabbles.
The guards of Nanqinghou Mansion, perhaps because they had been away from the battlefield for a long time, panicked when Chu Tang came to kill them, and their formation was also in chaos. Except for some of them surrounding Wang Haochen for protection, others were scattered around, participating. The siege of Chu Tang.
During this siege, the crossbowmen of the garrison and the crossbow and arrow guards of Nanqinghou Mansion were also useless, making it difficult to attack their own people.
This resulted in Chu Tang killing many of them, but nothing happened to him.
After the garrison was in position, the troops from Nanqinghou Mansion stopped fighting Chu Tang and retreated.
For a moment, no one in the field took action anymore and everything became quiet.
But no matter how you look at it, the situation is not good for Chu Tang.
He was alone, but there were five to six hundred soldiers on the opposite side.
But Chu Tang, who was holding a long sword, had a calm look on his face and glanced at everyone coldly, letting the blood on the sword fall to the ground.
Tick tock! Tick tock!
The sound is very soft, but it hits people's hearts like morning bells and evening drums.
"Chu Tang!" Wang Haochen from behind gritted his teeth, became furious and jumped around.
Ten days ago, he had made all preparations to prevent Chu Tang from coming to cause trouble. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use Nan Qinghou's token to mobilize the city defense troops.
Five hundred garrison troops helped guard the Hou Mansion, which really made Wang Haochen feel at ease.
He even began to expect Chu Tang to come and die.
However, time passed day by day, and their house was tense for ten days, completely on guard against loneliness.
Just when Wang Haochen thought that Chu Tang was afraid of death and would not come to visit him again, the other party came to kill him today.
He was having fun this time when he received Chu Tang rushing into the gate of the Hou Mansion.
It only took a moment to hear the other party killing and wounding many soldiers and guards, rushing towards him.
Wang Haochen immediately asked Pei Nu to prepare for the enemy. As soon as the troops and horses were pulled up, Chu Tang arrived.
After seeing him from a distance, Chu Tang rushed towards him as if he didn't care about his life.
Wang Haochen was also stunned. He had never seen anyone dare to charge alone in front of hundreds of soldiers.
This is not an ordinary feud in the world, it is simply crazy!
Wang Haochen also discovered Chu Tang's abnormality. When he saw him, he showed no mercy at all and would kill anyone who stood in his way.
Regardless of whether you are a guard or a garrison, he will always use one sword and one sword, or one palm and one finger.
And Chu Tang's body skills meant that he was not afraid of group battles.
The soldiers and guards didn't even hurt him, and dozens or twenty people fell down.
Wang Haochen was frightened by him.
Fortunately, there are hundreds of soldiers guarding him now, and Wang Haochen is much calmer again.
He is now thinking about how to kill Chu Tang, wash away today's humiliation, and tell the world that if he offends him, Wang Haochen, no matter what martial arts genius or young hero you are, you must die!
