Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 20 Whose charity hides regular troops? !

"drive!"

Zhao Qian'an jumped onto the carriage and pulled the reins hard. The horse neighed in pain and ran forward at full speed.

Shortly after he left, a group of people hurried over from the direction of the palace.

A young general in silver armor rode his horse in front, and two servants followed on horseback behind him. Each of them held a large flag in his hand, and the flag fluttered as they charged.

The left flag has four large characters embossed from top to bottom: "Patronizing the Heaven".

The right flag has three characters written horizontally: "丙二六".

Behind the flag-bearing servant, there were five black-armored guards following, each holding a two-person-long halberd in their hands. Their armor creaked as they ran, and their movements were in unison.

The only one who could ride a horse and parade through the streets of Kyoto's inner city during curfew was the Astronomical Patrol!
The four big characters "Patient to Heaven" were given to the imperial teacher by the founding emperor of the Daqian Dynasty when he established the Astronomical Observatory.

The Astronomical Observatory had many duties, one of which was to patrol the capital city day and night.

"stop!"

When the two servants came to the place where the carriage was originally parked, they stopped the horses, raised their hands and clenched their fists, and shouted to the team to stop.

But when they looked up, they saw that the horse in front was still running forward and was about to reach the other end of the long street.

However, the young general in silver armor on his horse seemed to be dozing off, his head nodding.

"Tiger cub!"

With a loud shout, the young general of the Yin family was suddenly startled, and hurriedly reined in his horse. He looked back and saw that he had been away from the team for a long distance, and hurriedly rode back.

After meeting up with the team, he got off his horse, bowed to the two servants, and yawned: "Brothers, please don't blame me. It's the middle of the night. Awooo... I'm really sleepy."

The two servants tied their flags to their horses and dismounted. The servant on the left said with a smile, "When we found you, you were drinking with a girl in the Early Spring House. You didn't look sleepy at all."

The servant on the right snorted coldly: "You went to the Jiaofangsi to have fun while on duty. Tomorrow morning, I will report you to the general."

Be it a joke or sarcasm.

Zhao Guanxiang was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed out loud: "Young men should be as romantic as me."

Everyone was helpless, but after all, they were working under Zhao Guanxiang, and they were used to the behavior of this rising star in the Astronomical Observatory.

While they were chatting, their subordinates had already completed the on-site inspection.

"Report, we found traces of a fight."

"Report, I found a bloodstain. I tasted it and it tasted bitter."

"Report, a headless body was found in an empty house."

To deal with this kind of thing, the people in the Astronomical Observatory were already in good order, some collecting evidence and some moving the body.

At this moment, a subordinate came hurriedly holding a piece of human skin:

"Report, a human skin was found."

At first, they didn't care, but when the servant took it over, their expressions changed: "Evil spirit? Tiger cub."

Zhao Guanxiang's face darkened, and he quickly stepped forward and took the human skin from the servant. He knew what it was after touching it, and said with certainty, "Someone is raising a 'ghost' in the capital."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions.

Mei is a kind of ghost magic.

If one wants to raise a ghost, one must find a virgin born on a yin month, yin day and yin hour, kill her when she reaches the age of marriage, peel off her intact skin, take her essence and blood, draw a spell on the skin, trap her soul inside the skin, and then nurture her with filthy things for 49 days before she can become a "ghost".

Whether it is the evil method of refining ghosts or the existence of such ghosts, they are too harmful to the world and are evil methods prohibited by the laws and civilization of the Daqian country.

In Kyoto, under the emperor's feet, ghosts and spirits bred...

Whether it was natural or man-made, this was a major dereliction of duty by the Astronomical Observatory!
Several people immediately became worried. If they couldn't find out the origin of this "ghost" and this matter fell into their hands, their small team would be in big trouble.

Zhao Guanxiang picked up the human skin and put it under his nose and sniffed it.

Mei is proficient in illusions, and ordinary weapons are useless against her. Only the warrior Blood Evil can deal with her.

Every warrior, after reaching the Transformation Realm, can release Blood Evil. But the Blood Evil of each person, even brothers from the same sect, is slightly different.

It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the subtle differences, but Zhao Guanxiang can.

When he first entered the Astronomical Patrol, he relied on his keen nose to solve many cases, which earned him the appreciation of his superiors and allowed him to stand out in the Astronomical Patrol.

To find out the origin of this "charm", we naturally have to find out who killed it.

However, Zhao Guanxiang did not hold out much hope. After all, who knew what kind of people were hiding in this crouching tiger, hidden dragon city of Kyoto? If the bloody aura left on this person's skin was unfamiliar, he would not be able to recognize who it was.

But when he sniffed it carefully, his expression froze on the spot.

This bloody aura is not unfamiliar...

Is it a bit too familiar?!
Just as Zhao Guanxiang was stunned, a ball of fireworks suddenly exploded above Kyoto City.

He looked up, brilliant fireworks exploded before his eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

That was the summons from the Sky Patrol...

What's going on tonight? Why are there so many troubles?!

"Mount, mount!"

"go!"

Zhao Guanxiang shouted twice loudly, immediately jumped on his horse, and led the team towards the north of the city.

……

The North City Health Hall has now become a scene of chaos.

The eastern gate was blown to pieces, and countless assassins in black tried to break into the Yangsheng Hall, but what stood in front of them were solid walls of shields.

Behind the shield wall were Owl Guards wearing black iron masks.

The assassins who attacked Yangshengtang tonight were all experts in the martial arts world. Each of them was a martial artist of a certain rank, and among them there were even martial artists of the fifth or sixth rank.

But they were like a group of guerrillas, facing an organized and well-trained army.

The Owl Guards used a shield wall to block the way, and with the help of the rain of arrows from the archers in the rear, the assassins were exhausted, not to mention breaking into the Health Hall.

The assassins were able to cope at first, but as their spiritual energy was depleted, casualties gradually began to occur.

But the situation did not lean towards the Xiaowei, because there was an existence among the black-clad assassins that could not be ignored.

He was a "monster" man.

The man wore an iron mask on his face and only a sleeveless jacket on his upper body. His chest was open, revealing his muscular body. His three-meter-tall body made him look like a giant. An ordinary person standing next to him would only reach his waist, making them look like children.

And on his shoulder, there was a small head, and it belonged to a charming girl.

The woman had a very long neck, and she twisted it flexibly like a snake.

It was this "monster" that fell from the sky and smashed the door of Yangshengtang. Otherwise, this group of black-clad assassins would not be able to even break into the door of Yangshengtang.

"Roar!"

The roar resounded through the sky, as if it was going to shatter the entire world.

The giant warrior rushed into the shield wall formed by the Owl Guards, waving his huge fist and punching the nearest Owl Guard. The fist fell down with a whistling sound.

The owl guard couldn't even utter a groan, and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, with blood all over the ground.

The giant warrior was like a god of war, charging into the formation of the Owl Guards, causing casualties among them.

However, the casualties did not crush the morale of the Owl Guards. More and more shield teams surrounded them, and they fought bravely and fearlessly.

The woman's head that grew on the giant warrior's neck was suddenly filled with shock and anger: "There are so many elite warriors. Is this a health center for orphans and widows? Or is it a forbidden area in the imperial palace?!"

"Could it be... that we have come to the wrong place?"
