The autumn wind was cold and bleak, causing all sorts of grass to bend over.
Surrounding the originally deserted official road, there appeared several black-robed men who slowly approached the imperial motorcade.
In the beginning, there may only have been a handful, but as the number of people increased, when the warning horn blew, there were thousands of people gathered already.
Moreover, the number of people was still increasing, gradually creating a siege around the entire imperial motorcade.
“Sir , they are members of the Mire Sect.” Someone immediately reported to Jiang Bin.
“Halt the motorscade, form a line, and face the enemy!” As the commandant of the Brocade Guards, as soon as he saw these people, Jiang Bin did not hesitate to issue commands.
Lin Qingyi also appeared next to Jiang Bin in time, and after hearing his order, he immediately instructed people to relay it.
The Brocade Guards who accompanied them this time were all elite and well-trained, and they quickly formed a defensive stance.
Deputy Sect Master Gong Xingqiu of the Mire Sect led a few experts from the sect, following among the black-clothed people. The Heavenly King Chiguo among the Four Kings next to him said, “Leader, our brothers are ready.”
Gong Xingqiu nodded, “Begin!”
Heavenly King Chiguo gave an order to the people around him, “Start!”
“Kill!”
Suddenly, the sounds of killing filled the sky, with hundreds of black-robed people wielding their weapons and heading towards the imperial motorcade.
Looking at the brave and courageous adherents of his sect, Gong Xingqiu nodded with satisfaction.
As soon as he learned of the news that the emperor intended to go on a tour, he immediately gathered his followers, preparing to assassinate the muddled ruler. Unfortunately, this time there was not ample time, and he could only gather these many people.
Looking at the hordes of members from the Mire Sect who came charging from all sides, Jiang Bin was smiling coldly and gave a slight nod to Lin Qingyi.
Lin Qingyi accepted the command with a fist salute, then turned around and pulled out the Embroidered Spring Knife from his waist, and swung it down in midair.
“Fire!”
As soon as the words fell, powerful bows and crossbows fired simultaneously, thousands of arrows rained down.
Faced with the rain of arrows, the assaulting Mire Sect members could not avoid it in time, and immediately numerous people were hit by arrows.
“It’s a pity that there’s so little time this time, and bows, crossbows, and armor are all prohibited items, and it’s difficult to transport them over this quickly.” Looking at the rain of arrows fired by the Brocade Guards, Gong Xingqiu couldn’t help feeling regretful.
Although weaponry is not banned in the Great Ming territory due to the thriving Martial Arts, bows, crossbows, and armor have always been prohibited.
Therefore, even most martial artists do not use bows and crossbows as their primary weapons. Those who are proficient in using them are mostly from the military or some mountain hunters. Those martial artists who have armor protection are mostly people with profound backgrounds.
The Mire Sect, being experts in rebellion, has accumulated a lot of bows, crossbows, and armor, but usually choose to hide these important materials to avoid being searched by official soldiers.
The news this time was very last minute, and even this plan was solely pushed by Gong Xingqiu, hence although a number of people were gathered, they simply could not equip these weapons and armour in time.
“Leader, don’t worry.” The Heavenly King Chiguo said to the deputy leader Gong Xingqiu.
Just as he finished speaking, these adherents seemed to have gone madly brave to face such a dense rain of arrows, not retreating and being brave enough to continue their charge amidst the arrows.
The Brocade Guards only managed two rounds of volley arrows before they were reached by the enemy.
In close combat, powerful bows and crossbows were no longer useful. These Brocade Guards unhesitatingly gave up their bows and arrows, and both sides began fighting fiercely.
“You should do it personally. Don’t waste time to avoid dragging in reinforcements.” Gong Xingqiu watched the fierce combat ensue and said to the Heavenly King Chiguo standing by his side.
According to the information he received, there were not many powerful combatants accompanying the emperor on this trip. There was only one first-grade martial artist, and the rest were restricted due to various pieces of news.
So there’s a great chance to kill the muddled ruler this time, and time can’t be wasted.
It seems that there is collusion between the Brocade Guards and the people of the Mire Sect, otherwise, even such confidential news would have come to the knowledge of Gong Xingqiu.
“Yes!” Upon receiving the command, the Heavenly King Chiguo, together with many experts behind him, leapt up and slaughtered towards the imperial motorcade.
Once these experts rushed into the midst, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and they had not met any resistance at all, with the common Brocade Guards being no match for them at all.
Wherever the long blade swept across, these Brocade Guards were easily beheaded or their chests pierced.
However, their goal was not here. They merely cleared a path in the battlefield and headed straight for the emperor’s carriage.
Gong Xingqiu, the deputy leader of the Mire Sect, was also the planner and initiator of this operation, and he leisurely followed behind the Heavenly King Chiguo with a curved knife hanging around his waist. He turned a blind eye to the scene, which was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He seemed to be smiling slightly at the corners of his mouth, with his eyes pointed at the emperor’s carriage.
If there happened to be a Brocade Guard approaching Gong Xingqiu, he did not even bother to draw his knife. He only gently waved his sleeve, crushing the person’s heart, demonstrating his ruthlessly efficient methods.
Needless to say, the appearance of this group of experts was also noticed by people on the side of the Brocade Guards.
“Where are the four commanders of the Brocade Guards!” Jiang Bin shouted.
Qinglong, Baihu, Xuanwu, and Zhuque stepped forward and reported, “Here!”
“Kill those men!” Jiang Bin was wearing a Flying Fish uniform, his right hand holding the hilt of the Embroidered Spring Knife, and he pointed with his left hand towards the group of people led by the
Heavenly King Chiguo.
The four commanders took the order.
“Everyone, I ask for your assistance.” Jiang Bin spoke to the high -ranking fighters from the Martial Academy who had gathered around the emperor.
Just now, Qingyang Zi had already given his orders that these people from the Martial Academy were all under Jiang Bin’S command.
“Sure!”
The experts from the Martial Academy responded, among whom was Pei Xuanjing.
“Brother Pei, please hold on!” Jiang Bin stopped Pei Xuanjing who was prepared to join the fight.
Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s puzzled expression, Jiang Bin said, “To avoid the enemy’s strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, I kindly ask you to guard the carriage with me.”
At this moment, the voice of the emperor came from the carriage, “Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, ask your men to join in as well. Jiang Bin, everything is handed over to your command, killing all these people. These people dare to assassinate me, I am very unhappy.”
The emperor was already unhappy about going on a tour, now faced with an assassination attempt by the Mire Sect, he was filled with even more rage.
If not advised by Qingyang Zi, the emperor would have even wanted to personally command this battle.
However, even with Qingyang Zits advice, the emperor’s anger had not subsided, and he decided to annihilate all these people.
The persons named Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong in the emperor’s mouth were the supervisors of the Dong Factory and Xi Factory.
Upon hearing the emperor’s words, both men and Jiang Bin understood that the emperor was really angry and bowed to confirm their understanding.
Immediately afterward, several experts from Dong Factory and Xi Factory came out one after another and went to kill the people from the Mire Sect. Soon, both sides were fiercely fighting against each other.
However, these people were no opponent to Gong Xingqiu. The full strength of a first-grade martial artist was demonstrated, and several high-ranking fighters were killed within a few moves..
