Chapter 826: Putting an end to the chaos
"Go to Shisong Hutong Street!"

"Quick, mobilize the troops! The raid can be done later!"

"Pass the order! Pass the order!"

Dong Qianran sat in the carriage, listening to the shouts of the patrol soldiers and the sound of horsemen running outside the window, her brows gloomy.

These soldiers have almost controlled all the important roads in the capital... Mingjian Pavilion did not take any action, and the Imperial Guards did not take any action either. The patrol battalion, which had little presence in the past, has become the most powerful force in the capital.

"I hope Senior Brother Li can sort out the situation in Mingjian Pavilion as soon as possible..."

"Shisong Hutong Street... Senior Brother Ning's residence is also on this street. Is there anyone resisting the patrol camp there?"

Dong Qianran stroked the Xian sword with his hand, pondering slightly.

Nowadays, horse-drawn carriages are no longer allowed on the roads in the capital, but hers is not one of them.

Her carriage had no driver, only an old horse pulling it at a leisurely pace, but with each step it took it seemed as if the earth had shrunk several feet, and its speed was no slower than any fast horse running.

At the rear end of the carriage was a flag with the words "Sword in Hand" written on it.

Even if the carriage of the dean of the Sword Academy drove into the imperial city, no imperial guards would dare to stop it!
It’s not necessarily because the position of dean is so transcendent and powerful.

But now, all the officials in the court, regardless of their position or background, whether they were civil officials or military generals, were more or less once students of the Sword Academy.

Even if one did not enter the academy through the minor imperial examination, who among those who served in government had not attended classes in an academy?

Even some people in the martial arts world who have made military achievements can enter the Sword-Bearing Academy to study, let alone the officials?

They have all worshipped the founder of the academy and sworn an oath in the academy... No matter how time passes, as long as Dayan survives, they will never be able to make a move against the Sword-Bearing Academy!
Therefore, even though the soldiers from the patrol camp frequently looked at the carriage along the way, they did not dare to show any hostility in their eyes.

Of course they also saw that the carriage was moving in the same direction as them.

Of course they also know that what they are doing... is not so just.

Next, they might even come into conflict with the people in the carriage.

The soldiers finally turned their heads away and pretended not to see the carriage.

This matter should be left to the commander to decide...

The carriage followed the soldiers not too far away and soon approached Shisong Hutong Street.

Dong Qianran's ears moved slightly and she heard the sounds of fighting coming from the alley.

She frowned slightly and did not leave the carriage, but as her pupils flickered, her gaze instantly penetrated the carriage boards, passed through the heavy soldiers in front, passed through the twists and turns of the alleys, and went to the source of the sound of fighting.

That's outside the gate of Yan Mansion!
The guards who rushed out of Yan's mansion had already engaged in a fight with the soldiers from the patrol camp.

These guards...are not ordinary guards.

It turns out that all of these more than one hundred guards had reached the fifth level of martial cultivation or even a higher level. When their swords were swung up, there was a continuous sound of violent breaking through the air, and the soldiers' halberds and spears were shattered like paper under those swords!
Not only that, looking at their well-trained and well-coordinated appearance, they don’t even look like gangsters, but more like military masters!

They rushed out from the gate of Yan's Mansion, and taking advantage of the narrow alley and the difficulty in being surrounded, they slowly pushed forward. They had already killed dozens of steps forward and left behind the body of a soldier!
"Prime Minister Yan's guards are really cruel."

Behind the vanguard soldiers, the patrol battalion commander Cheng Dong took a deep breath.

Of course he knew that Yan Yidong's bodyguards were all elites in the army... and many of them were even his former comrades in the army.

That was the preferential treatment the emperor gave to the old prime minister, allowing this head of civil servants to have the ability to deter lawless elements.

So, this "outlaw" made up his mind and waved his hand vigorously: "Light the fire and shoot the arrows! Call in the masters of the noble families!"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of dense string sounds suddenly rang out in the alley!
Countless flaming arrows were thrown high into the air, drawing an arc and falling towards the guards of the Yan Mansion.

Not only that, a group of people suddenly jumped out from among the soldiers! They wore the same armor and carried the same weapons as the patrol soldiers, but when they jumped out, one could clearly sense their impressive strength from their cold and calm eyes and the murderous aura emanating from their bodies.

A master from a noble family.

These masters secretly raised by the Yuan and Lan families were actually hiding among the soldiers!
The rockets fell, and the guards did not dare to delay. They raised their swords to chop them down. But in this brief moment, the vanguard soldiers had already stabbed forward with their halberds, and those masters from the aristocratic families were like dragons entering the water, and they slashed into the guards' formation!

In the blink of an eye, the first few guards were chopped down, and some people in the back had no time to block the arrows and were shot by them, and their bodies quickly started to burn.

In an instant, the security team, which had been advancing with great momentum just now, was immediately thrown into disarray.

In the carriage, Dong Qianran's eyes narrowed slightly.

The next moment, the door curtain of the carriage shook slightly, and her figure disappeared from the carriage.

In the alley, in just a few moments, those masters from the aristocratic families had used the cover of rockets to kill their way in and out among the guards of Yan's mansion. At least a dozen guards died under their swords. The soldiers of the patrol battalion took this opportunity to advance forward and pushed the front line back a lot, and they were about to return to the gate of Yan's mansion.

But at this moment, a righteous force suddenly descended from the sky!

This power is not directed at anyone. It is just dignified and majestic, like an emperor sitting on the top of a mountain. Others will be impressed by its imposing manner at a glance and subconsciously...

Kneel down.

Thump, thump, thump!
In the chaotic alley, a strange scene suddenly appeared.

Except for the guards of Yan Mansion, all the people knelt down at the same time!

Even the commander of the patrol battalion, Cheng Dong, couldn't help but kneel down.

“What, what!”

Cheng Dong widened his eyes and wanted to stand up, but the trembling and submission rose from his heart and he was unable to resist.

Those masters from aristocratic families were still in the Yan Mansion's guard team. After they knelt like this, they didn't even have time to dodge or resist, and were killed by these guards in the blink of an eye!

The archers who had lit the rockets but had not yet shot their arrows knelt down, and flames started up under their feet, engulfing a few people from time to time. Amid their screams, the fire began to spread.

In an instant, the situation reversed again.

Cheng Dong turned around in horror.

The burning flames split into two sides, and a graceful figure slowly walked over, holding an extremely simple and ordinary long sword in her hand.

"Yes... it's you..."

He looked at the person who came and said in a trembling voice: "Dean, Dean..."

Dong Qianran slowly walked through the kneeling crowd and came in front of Cheng Dong.

Her face looked young, but her hair was already gray, and her eyes had an indescribable sense of vicissitudes. As she looked down at Cheng Dong, her calm and sad eyes were filled with an unspeakable murderous intent.

The sword was raised.

At this moment, an old voice sounded.

"President Dong, don't kill him."

As he was speaking, the guards of the Yan Mansion, who were panting heavily after the bloody battle, made way for him.

Yan Yidong walked slowly over with the support of his son and said with a smile: "It is easy to quell the chaos in the capital, but it is not easy to quell the chaos in the world... Keep him, I have a lot to ask."
