The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

The person who blew the smoke into the room didn't have time to struggle, so he straightened up and passed out on the ground.

The incident happened suddenly, another watchman next to him saw his companion fell to the ground, and hurried over to investigate the situation.

As soon as he touched his shoulder, the man saw the door open inside and stared at the two people in the room in disbelief. How did the other party know? !

Before he could make a sound to remind his companions on the roof, his neck was snapped with a click.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the assassin who was facing him just now, but now the back of his head was turned away from them, and couldn't help shivering.

It looks a little weird.

After breaking his neck, Shi Yunchen didn't hesitate, took out the hook and sickle gun from behind the door, and stepped out of the room in one step.

When they came to the corridor, there was no one in their yard for the time being, but they could see a faint flash of fire in the front yard, as well as the sound of hurried footsteps.

This is trying to set them on fire!

The people on the roof probably heard the movement just now, and eight or nine masked men jumped down from the top and landed in their yard. After the other party glanced at the two companions on the ground, they rushed over with their swords in hand.

Shi Yunchen held a hook and sickle in his left hand, and rushed up alone.

The sound of the collision of cold weapons made this silent night even more solemn. The whole night was dark and quiet, and this space seemed to be isolated from the world. I am afraid that the two of them are the only people awake in this courtyard, and everyone else must have been tricked.

Lu Xiuyuan thought of Nan Xing who was sleeping in the side room next to him, the fire outside would burn inside after a while, so he hurried over and kicked the door open.

The target of those masked men was originally Lu Xiuyuan, and seeing him move now, two of them immediately withdrew from Shi Yunchen's side, and rushed towards him with their swords raised.

Lu Xiuyuan rushed into the room, saw the two people behind him pointing at him with a clear goal, and quickly closed the door behind him.

He came to the bed and shook Nan Xing twice, but there was no response. The door outside was also kicked open. Time was running out, so he could only pinch Nan Xing's thigh hard.

"hiss!"

Nan Xing was awakened by the pain, and just about to open his mouth to curse, he was frightened by the sword light that struck his eyes.

Lu Xiuyuan staggered away with the man, and then smashed the surrounding benches and other things that he could carry to his back. The two ran back to the yard in a hurry, and three of the remaining seven masked men fell down.

At the side, Yun Chen saw that the two masked men behind him were about to hurt Lu Xiuyuan, so he quickly picked up the sword in the hand of the corpse at his feet and threw it away.

To be honest, seeing a sword flying towards him was quite scary, but since the sword was thrown by his family, Chen, it was better for him to keep his current posture and escape.

Sure enough, the blade of the sword whizzed past their ears, and then pierced the chest of one of them behind him, buying Lu Xiuyuan a lot of time.

I don't know how many people were there in the front yard, so he asked Nan Xing to find a safe place to hide for a while, and then go there together after finishing these matters.

He himself ran to the small kitchen next to him, and the rest of the people followed him in.

The space in the small kitchen is small, the assassin saw Lu Xiuyuan rushing in like throwing himself into a trap, and smiled inwardly, just in time to catch a turtle in the urn.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the people on his side entered, they were sprayed in the face with a mixture of chili powder and pepper.

Covering his eyes uncontrollably, the man screamed in pain.

Burning pain in the eyes, coupled with uncontrolled sneezing from the nose.

It made him dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan knew that the opportunity must be missed, so he quickly picked up the uncut firewood next to him, and threw it directly at the man's neck.

The two sticks went down, and the man fell to the ground without breathing.

He still remembered that Yun Chen's internal injury was still not healed when he was outside, so he quickly found the hatchet in the corner of the kitchen, repaired the knife for the person on the ground, carried it and ran out.

There was only one person left in the yard now, when Lu Xiuyuan went out, he happened to see the two entangled together, the young master's weapon was blocked by the man's two knives.

It is very dangerous to be caught by close combat at a long range, and the weapon is still suppressed!

As soon as his worried heart was suspended, he saw the young master give up his weapon directly, and punched the person flying about two meters away.

After the opponent fell to the ground, he got up clutching his chest in disbelief.

The ribs were all broken, it took so much strength, in vain he thought the opponent was not good at melee combat, and forced him to fight close to him.

It turned out that he was courting death.

Shi Yunchen didn't give the other party a chance, he quickly picked up the spear/spear on the ground and threw it at him. The man was pierced through his chest, and after struggling twice, he fell silent.

The fire outside was getting more and more intense. Just as the three of them were about to go to the front yard, they bumped into a group of people who set fire to the front yard. The other party was rushing towards the back yard carrying oil barrels and torches.

The two sides met face to face, those people didn't expect that the brothers who poisoned behind were all dead, they were stunned.

Shi Yunchen rushed up with the hooked gun in his hand, but his target was not these people, but the oil barrel on the opponent's shoulder.

The wooden barrel was picked apart by the sharp spear point, and the oil inside immediately splashed out, and the oil dripped onto the torch next to it, and a large flame burst out instantly, surrounding the small group of people here.

Those people only felt a blur in front of their eyes, and their whole bodies were burned by the fire, and the next second there was a miserable scream.

The person on the other side dropped the utensil in his hand and rushed up with a sword.

Those people were attacking Lu Xiuyuan next to him. After all, this person was their main target, but Yun Chen's spear/spear was so annoying at that time, every time he almost stabbed at him, the spear that got in the way was blocked back .

When the weapon was blocked, Lu Xiuyuan didn't sit still, and if he used his yin leg, he could also destroy most of a person's combat power.

After going back and forth like this a few times, those people simply gave up attacking him, and instead started beating Shi Yunchen seriously.

I don't know if I don't fight, I was shocked when I hit it, when those masked people saw their companions being directly picked up by a spear/gun, the masks on their faces couldn't hide their surprise.

The information given to them by the servant is wrong!

It was agreed that he could only play tricks on a delicate and frail little brother, why can he pick someone up with one hand? !

Still left handed!

After staring at it carefully for a while, the man suddenly seemed to find a flaw.

That brother seems to have injured his right hand. They fought so fiercely that they didn't see the other party using his right hand!

"Brothers, his right hand is injured, attack his right side for me!"

When the voice fell to the ground, everyone's eyes lit up, and their eyes were fixed on Shi Yunchen's right hand that had been hanging down all the time, and the weapon in his hand also launched an attack towards the dead corner on the right.

Lu Xiuyuan, who was behind him, saw the ferocious appearance of those people, and his heart was raised again. Ah Chen's injury is still not healed, and he might be injured in this situation.

He raised his hatchet and was about to rush forward to help, but it was Nan Xing who was next to him desperately holding him back.

"Swords have no eyes, my uncle stepped back, carefully bumping into you!"

He didn't understand Nan Xing's operation: "Isn't the injury on Ah Chen's right shoulder still healed? I'm going up to help him!"

Hearing this, Nan Xing scratched his messy hair guiltily. His young master's right shoulder was only bruised and purple, which looked scary. The real injury was the internal injury caused by the palm, and his right hand was not affected.

But how should he explain it? Could it be that the reason why the young master doesn't use his right hand is to let the uncle feed better?

I'm afraid the young master will beat him to death afterwards.

Nan Xing covered his face: "Oh, uncle, let's just wait and see here."

Then Shi Yunchen, amidst the malicious smiles of those assassins, switched the hook and sickle gun to his right hand, spun it around twice easily, and took all the attacks from their side under his crotch. The man's head.

The whole place fell silent for a moment.

Apart from the crackling of the fire burning in the front yard, there was no movement to be heard in the yard.

The group of people were dumbfounded. They thought it was the opponent's weakness, but in the end, everyone attacked with all their strength and were counter-killed. This scene had an impact on the assassins beyond 01:30.

The leader died, and the rest was basically a mass of loose sand. Everyone present rushed up, lay down and rested and was sent to see their leader by Shi Yunchen.

All the assassins tonight were dealt with, Nan Xing hurriedly went to the front yard to see if there were any survivors, and he hurriedly supported the young master next to him to prevent him from falling to the ground.

Although Shi Yunchen's right hand was fine, he was still a little uncomfortable with the violent movement just now, and the throbbing in his chest, but after seeing Lu Xiuyuan's worried eyes, the other party forcibly endured it.

Helping the other party smooth his chest, he looked at the smoky fire in the front yard, and said nervously: "The fire is so big, I guess those guards who fainted in the room are in danger..."

As soon as he finished speaking here, Nan Xing came back with a mournful face supporting a guard.

"My lord, the house in front of me was basically burned down, only Tian Shiqi survived because he was outside the courtyard."

There is no way to manage so much at this meeting, the most important thing is to leave this place first.

The fire has been burning for so long, and there is no movement around. Someone must have said hello, and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Shi Yunchen scouted the way ahead with a hook and sickle gun, and Lu Xiuyuan was the only surviving guard with Nan Xing.

The other party was hit in the back of the head, and even with his eyes open now, his consciousness was blurred and he couldn't find Bei on foot.

There was no way to leave the main entrance, so they walked through the side entrance, which they didn't usually use, and opened the door stop, and the young master went out first vigilantly.

It was still pitch black outside, except for the faint firelight behind them, and occasionally a few reflective things could be seen nearby.

After seeing clearly what the reflective object was, Shi Yunchen's eyebrows twitched.

"who?!"

He stretched out his hand to block Nan Xing and the others behind him, and raised his gun in a defensive posture.

Just after solving the crisis, he was about to get out of danger, and now Lu Xiuyuan suddenly heard that there were people outside the door, his heart was agitated, and he hurriedly followed the young master's line of sight to look at him carefully.

Although it was pitch black outside, with the flickering fire behind them, one could vaguely see a man in armor standing not far in front of them.

The dry autumn wind blew past, and the fire behind him burned even more fiercely. Under the reflection of the fire, Lu Xiuyuan finally saw the face of the man standing in front of them clearly.

It turned out to be King Ming!

Why did the other party appear here at this time, and what is their purpose?Are those assassins his mastermind?

Didn't the other party save him before?Why is it here again now?Could it be that King Ming was not the one who saved people in the hunting ground?

Things were so complicated that Lu Xiuyuan couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Shi Yunchen who was next to him didn't think too much about it. Although the other party still felt uncomfortable after the fierce battle just now, he still firmly stood in front of them.

Unexpectedly, King Ming in front of him glanced at them, and then turned sideways to get out of the way. ! ! !

At this moment, Yun Chen was also stunned, blocking them at the door and not fighting, is it just to scare them?

But this meeting is not suitable for chatting, Lu Xiuyuan greeted Nan Xing, and hurried away with the guards on their shoulders.

The young master stared at King Ming vigilantly, stepped back slowly, and helped them cut off the back.

Because it was too dark outside, they ran in a hurry and could only run based on the impression of the road in their memory. Then Nan Xing and Lu Xiuyuan tripped over a bump on the ground, and the three of them fell to the ground together.

"Hiss!" Nan Xing cried out in pain, not knowing what tripped them up, they could only lower their heads and keep groping.

It is uneven, moderately soft and hard, and a little wet, not like a stone, and it smells a little bloody. Just after Nan Xing vaguely guessed what it was, a fire flashed across the yard, and he got close to a pair of eyes that were dying. Right on.

It's a corpse! !

The other party covered his mouth desperately to suppress his desire to scream, and the whole person was frightened stupid.

Sitting up still in shock, Nan Xing saw the silhouettes of corpses all around by the faint light just now, and his whole body was not well.

"Gu, aunt, aunt!" Nan Xing's voice trembled, subconsciously looking for the living people around him for comfort.

Lu Xiuyuan next to him comforted and patted Nan Xing on the shoulder. He could smell the smell of blood when he fell to the ground, and when he touched the stiff limbs on the ground, he quickly guessed why King Ming appeared here again.

The other party saved him again!

"What do you do when you go back?"

He finally couldn't help turning around and asking.

But the person who was standing by the side door just now is no longer visible.
