This was the first time Fu Xiaoguan saw Susu so angry, and the reason was just that bag of pastries!
In Susu's opinion, his life seemed not as important as that bag of pastries. Realizing this made Fu Xiaoguan quite discouraged.
Well, now is not the time to think about this, because the cavalry did not stop attacking because of the fall of the general.
They were like death warriors, not afraid of Susu's brutality.
The bag of pastries was gone, and Susu had an extra hand. She stood in the middle of the long street, punching and kicking, turning her grief and anger into strength, and knocked down nearly a hundred cavalrymen who were rushing towards her.
However, a problem arose. Susu took a step back, and then another step back. Fu Xiaoguan saw that the white gas on Susu's fist gradually became less and then disappeared.
This is why martial arts masters cannot compete with the imperial court.
They are highly skilled in martial arts and may be able to fight against a hundred or even a thousand enemies at once, but when faced with wave after wave of attacks from the cavalry, their internal strength will be exhausted and they will become fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered.
"ah……!"
Su Su accidentally got stabbed in the left arm. Fu Xiaoguan took a deep breath and yelled, "I'll do it!"
Su Su did not hesitate. She took two steps back and adjusted her breathing, hoping to recover some internal strength as soon as possible.
This is a very long street, very old and not wide. If the cavalry charges in battle formation, it can only accommodate three horses running side by side.
Fu Xiaoguan picked up a sword and stood in front of Susu, with his legs slightly bent and the sword in both hands. Facing the cavalry charging again, he did not fight those assassins head-on, but chose to kill the horses!
Instead of cutting off the horse's head, cut off its legs.
He lowered his body, and the cavalry swords on the horses could not reach him, so he slashed fiercely at the horse's legs with his swords.
The warhorse let out a neigh and fell to the ground with a thud. Fu Xiaoguan had no time to care about the assassins who fell off the warhorse. He rushed left and right, knocking the warhorses on both sides to the ground.
The warhorses behind him continued to charge forward. "Retreat!" Fu Xiaoguan roared, slashing and retreating. With the horses charging towards him and the warriors crawling up from the ground around him, Fu Xiaoguan was soon surrounded.
He became calmer, as if he had returned to the battlefield of his previous life. The blood in his body began to boil, and his facial features seemed sharper.
With two "clangs", he blocked the two swords coming from the left. He leaned his body back and swept the sword across. With a "swish" sound and accompanied by a wailing, the abdomen of a dead soldier was cut open. He screamed madly and tried to stuff the intestines that flowed out back into his stomach, but it was all in vain.
Fu Xiaoguan didn't even take a second look. He swung his knife diagonally upwards, sweeping away the knife on the right, and then slashed down. Another assassin was cut from the shoulder to the abdomen by his knife and died with his eyes open.
The sunlight is still soft.
The blood on the ground became brighter and redder.
Fu Xiaoguan's expression became increasingly calm.
He felt as if he had entered a certain state. In his eyes, those living beings were just ants. He was like the god of death, indifferently reaping the lives of these ants.
It was unknown how many times he swung his sword, or how many people he killed, but with a "crack", his sword hit the shoulder blade of one of the assassins, and the sword broke!
Holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, he threw it with all his might and hit a cavalryman in the throat. The cavalryman fell off his horse with a bang, holding the hilt of the knife stuck in his throat.
A knife hit Fu Xiaoguan's back, and a line of blood appeared. He rolled on the ground and picked up two swords.
He suddenly felt a little tired, as if he was trapped in the ocean. He wanted to grab something, but found that there was not even a straw around him.
He wielded the two swords with his hands, and the trajectory of the swords became increasingly chaotic. His hands holding the swords gradually felt sore, and his legs began to tremble.
This is exhaustion.
Fu Xiaoguan shook his head vigorously to make himself more awake.
There was a assassin quietly approaching behind him, but he didn't chop him, he stabbed him instead!
Fu Xiaoguan didn't realize that he was still fighting with the five assassins rushing towards him.
One zhang!
Six feet!
Three feet!
The assassin held the knife with both hands and brought it to his waist. He only needed to move one more foot closer, and he firmly believed that this knife would be able to pierce Fu Xiaoguan!
Just when he was extremely excited, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and his head flew up and away from his body. His body was still standing there, and the posture of holding the knife had not changed.
Stab him to death!
His head gave the order, but his body didn't execute it.
He actually opened his mouth, as if he found it hard to believe.
His head was rolling in the air, his eyes looked up at the sky, the sun seemed very bright today, then his gaze fell on the roof, the unmelted snow on the roof seemed very white, and finally his eyes looked at the ground.
There was water and mud on the ground, but they were all red, as red as blood.
"Bang!" His head fell to the ground, his eyes were blood red.
"Bang!" His body fell down, and Susu came to Fu Xiaoguan's side.
…
Jinling Prefecture Yamen.
Prince Hui's son Yu Lezheng and Ning Yuchun sat opposite each other without any tea.
"Enough." Ning Yuchun said two words lightly.
Yu Le shook his head, "Not enough."
"He is Fu Xiaoguan!"
"He is my third brother!"
"What the Third Prince did was already wrong."
"Even so, it's not Fu Xiaoguan's turn to teach him a lesson! Lord Ning, which is more important, the reputation of Prince Hui's Mansion or Fu Xiaoguan's life?"
Ning Yuchun was silent for a long time.
Prince Yu Lin of Shangjing Hui is a special existence.
As the youngest son of the late emperor, he was deeply loved by the empress dowager. According to the rules, before the crown prince ascended the throne, Yu Lin, as a prince, should have been granted his territory, but the empress dowager changed this rule, on the grounds that she would be happier with more children in the capital.
Prince Hui also abided by the rules, but his third son Yu Jingfan did not.
According to what Qin Mowen said at the time, it would not be a pity if Yu Jingfan died a thousand times, but because of Prince Hui, not only was he not punished, but he became even worse.
There were at least twenty-three criminal records against Yu Jingfan in the North and South Yamen, eighteen of which were cases of abducting women, three of which were cases of beating people to death in the streets, and the remaining two of which were cases of causing injuries.
The Ning family is not one of the six major families in the capital. Although the head of the family is now the Grand Tutor, he has no chance of winning if he goes against Prince Hui's Mansion.
So Prince Hui sent the Crown Prince here, not to intercede for the Third Prince, but simply to keep an eye on Ning Yuchun and forbid him from sending the constables from the North and South Yamen to ruin Prince Hui's plans.
Now the third prince has been carried into Prince Hui's mansion. Before coming to the prefectural yamen, Crown Prince Yu Le took a look. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive, and there was an anger on his father's face that he had never seen before.
Then this matter will naturally be a fight to the death!
"Official Fu is deeply favored by His Majesty."
"So what? Your Majesty can't possibly imprison Fu Xiaoguan now that he's dead. Besides, the Empress Dowager is in good health. My father took me to the palace to see her a few days ago. She can still eat half a bowl of rice in one meal."
"Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess might like him."
Yu Le raised his eyebrows. "There are many young men in the world, and many famous talents. They have no engagements. So even if Her Highness the Ninth Princess is interested in Fu Xiaoguan, she would at most be sad for a while if Fu Xiaoguan died. Do you think I'm right?"
"You may be right..." Ning Yuchun stood up, "but I have to do something."
Yu Le frowned and stood up. "I can collect the bodies, but I can't stop them. It's just like the story of Qingluan Lane and Qingfengxiyu Tower years ago."
"What if I insist on stopping you?"
Yu Le was silent for two breaths, and then Taifu Ning walked in from outside.
"sit down!"
…
In the plum garden in the back garden of Dieyi Palace.
The fifth prince Yu Wendao frowned, but Concubine Shang was calmly admiring the brilliant plum blossoms on the tree.
"If I don't go now, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"There's not much sunshine in Jinling in winter. Look at these plum blossoms. Aren't they even more beautiful?"
"Mother..."
"People usually kill people on rainy days or in the dark because it makes them appear more low-key. I admire Prince Comet for choosing to kill people in such a sunny day. It makes the killing seem poetic..."
Concubine Shang turned around, looked at Yu and asked, "Do you think he will be defeated?"
"Those four hundred cavalrymen were trained by Prince Hui's palace according to military regulations. They can't be stopped by Fu Xiaoguan and that girl named Susu alone!"
"Who told you it was just the two of them?"
“…Who else?”
"You underestimate the Taoist temple." Concubine Shang turned and plucked a plum blossom from the tree. "The Taoist temple has always abandoned the temple in times of chaos. This has been the Taoist temple's rule for thousands of years. Now it seems that such a chaotic time is indeed approaching. Since the Taoist temple has chosen Fu Xiaoguan, the Taoist temple master will not allow Fu Xiaoguan to die."
"Mother isn't forbidding you from rescuing Fu Xiaoguan. I just want to see how many disciples the Taoist temple has sent out, and how Prince Hui cleans up the mess. Isn't the Queen Mother protecting him? If he doesn't do something earth-shattering, there's really no way to get him out of Shangjing!"
"Go to the Jinling prefectural government office and take a look. Remember, just take a look. Don't say anything and don't ask any questions."
…
The ten-mile long street is covered with blood for five miles!
Su Su and Fu Xiaoguan fought bloody battles, and they actually killed half of the 400 cavalrymen alive!
At this moment, both of them were covered in blood, some of their own, but more of it was from the enemy.
Fu Xiaoguan's eyes were already red at this moment, but he still tried his best to remain calm and use every bit of his remaining strength in the most critical place.
Su Su's delicate face was covered with beads of sweat, shining brightly in the sunlight.
"You say...will we die here?"
"Don't worry, you won't die as long as I'm here!"
Su Su giggled, thinking to herself, how dare you, a guy who has not even started practicing martial arts, speak so arrogantly.
But this guy is also quite powerful. He actually killed quite a few people without even blinking an eye.
The opposing cavalry did not give them a chance to breathe, and the remaining two hundred cavalry launched another charge on the long street!
The sound of galloping horses' hooves is like the war drums beating by the god of death!
