Chapter 6: Taking Advantage of the Fire
In Yong An City, the city guards were patrolling everywhere. In an alley, several figures flashed past. The leader was Chu Boping, who had sneaked back into the city. At this moment, he had changed into black clothes and wore a black mask. He looked like a black-clothed assassin. The huge wooden box behind him was no longer there. The three figures behind him were actually puppets. They did not look like small puppets that had been used before. The three puppets were extremely similar to humans. Their movements were nimble and smooth. One could even see the changes in their expressions. If one did not look at the material, He was no different from a living person. He wore a set of simple armor, which looked completely different from his current armor. He held three weapons: a knife, a spear, and a bow..
The three puppets were not far from Chu Boping. The saber puppet and spear puppet were hidden in the shadows on the left and right respectively. The bow-wielding puppet was further away, ready to shoot at any time..
Chu Boping wore a pair of strange gloves on his hands. They had a metallic texture and were flexible no matter what movements his fingers made..
The three puppets and gloves were items that Chu Boping obtained when he obtained the inheritance of the ancient Mo family. They were hidden in various places in Yong An City. There were also some hidden in the palace. Now, they could not be retrieved, but even if they were lost, outsiders could not use them..
The objects outside the palace were recovered after sending Sun Zheping away, which became the greatest honor of Chu Boping's operation..
Chu Boping walked out of the alley and stopped a group of city guards who were advancing. He lured them into the alley with a commanding tone. The three puppets attacked together with Chu Boping. In an instant, five of the six city guards were killed. The leader of the group was grabbed by Chu Boping's neck and pressed against the wall. As long as he exerted a slight force, he would die on the spot..
"Lord, spare my life. Please let me go. There are both old and young. Please don't kill me..
The captain knelt down and cried..
" Answer my question!" Uncle Chu said fiercely..
Chu Boping tightened his grip on the captain's hand and asked sternly," Otherwise, you know the consequences!".
"Vice Commander Yan was captured by Duke Dingguo earlier today on the charge of collaborating with the enemy. Currently, Vice Commander Yan and a few of his close friends, such as Vice Generals and Qianhu, are imprisoned in the dungeon at the East City Gate. It is said that they have not been punished yet..
The captain answered the question with trembling hands and said everything he knew. In order to survive, he even explained what he had heard..
" Who is commanding the city guards now?" Chu Boping continued to ask. His expression relaxed slightly, as if he was relieved of something..
"Cao De, Duan Xu, Guo Qi, and Sun Xing are now commanding the four city guards. The younger one is under the command of General Cao De. Now, my team and the other five teams are heading to the home of the Minister of Rites to control all relatives and servants..
The captain told them all about himself..
"I told you everything I know. There was no hiding or cheating. Let the little ones go.".
The captain continues to beg for mercy..
"Your information is very useful, but I'm sorry.
Chu Bo used his strength, and the small captain's body collapsed softly and died..
"Now I can't leave any gaps..
Xingguo Gong Mansion, as the official residence of the most powerful civil minister of Jin 'an Dynasty in the world, is located in a very prosperous place in Yong' an City. It is a courtyard with ten entrances and ten exits. The pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard are intertwined. There are many rockery trees. The huge red lacquer courtyard door, the gold plaque with the three characters "Xingguo Gong" written in small seal characters above the door, and a pair of white jade lions in front of the door all show the dignity and dignity of the owner..
At this moment, the Xingguo Duke's Mansion was at war. More than a hundred city guards broke into the courtyard. Led by a thousand households, they held weapons and seemed to have the possibility of attacking at any time..
Opposite the city guards were the guards and servants of the Xingguo Duke's Mansion. There were also seventy or eighty strong men, led by a refined and somewhat thin young man holding a sword..
The ladies, young and old are watching in the backyard.
"Young Master, we are also following orders. Why are you making things difficult for us?.
"The tone of a thousand households is not domineering, and there is even some helplessness..
"As long as you cooperate and don't leave the residence, I promise that we won't do anything rough until we receive orders from our superiors..
"This is the residence of the Duke of Xingguo. My father is the head of the civil ministers of Jin 'an. Without the king's decree, who dares to force his way in? You traitors and thieves, why don't you retreat? When the government troops arrive, you can only submit to the law!" The leader of the son is Jia Xiaoxian, the second son of the Duke of Xingguo. Although Jia Xiaoxian doesn't know what happened, he sees that the city guards forced their way into the minister's residence without the emperor's decree. Something big must happen. He must not wait for death..
" I didn't want to make a move, but Young Master didn't appreciate it. Listen to my orders and kill those who resist!" Qian Hu sighed and gave the order. The City Guards immediately attacked the young men who were confronting him. How could the guards and servants of the minister's residence be a match for the City Guards? Coupled with the disadvantage in numbers, the battle was almost instantly decided. After a while, most of them were killed..
Although Jia Xiaoxian also held a sword, he didn't practice martial arts and his body was still weak. If it wasn't for his luck and his servants 'desperate protection, Jia Xiaoxian would have died several times..

"Master Jia, you are good at reciting poems and writing poems, but killing and killing things is not suitable for you.".
Suddenly several figures flashed across the roof, falling from the sky and joining the melee..
" Your Highness, what happened?" Jia Xiaoxian shouted at the person who came..
It was Chu Boping. Besides the three puppets, there were two more people beside him. One was a commoner youth with two halberds and the other was a handsome woman with two knives..
These two people are royal palace brocade clothes armor will participate, is a couple, young name list Feiyu, female name Meng Lingxi, tonight should not be two people on duty to escape disaster.
Those who could guard the palace were generally loyal. Even after such a big change, few soldiers in brocade clothes betrayed them. The soldiers on duty were almost killed, and the soldiers who were not on duty were also captured and killed by the city guards..
When the two were besieged by dozens of city guards and were in danger, they were rescued by Chu Boping. The two had always been on good terms with the prince. After a short exchange, they acted together with the prince..
After the three people and three puppets joined in, the situation immediately reversed. The city guards were beaten back one after another. Qianhu saw that the situation was not right and immediately sent his subordinates out to ask for help..
" Xiaoxian, I, Jin 'an, have encountered a great change today. The country is about to fall, and the Duke of Xingguo is also in danger. Why don't you follow me out of the city and leave it as a green mountain? Come back openly in the future!" Chu Boping advised Jia Xiaoxian as he fought against the city guards..
"Make a quick decision. The enemy reinforcements will arrive soon. We won't last long..
"But, my family…" Jia Xiaoxian hesitated, his face twisted..
" Unfilial son, what's the point of staying? If anything happens, it's just a few dead souls. Why don't you leave? Even if my Jia family dies today, at least you can leave behind incense. Maybe you can avenge us one day!" A noble woman in her fifties walked out of the backyard. Her voice sounded like a yellow oriole, and her tone was slightly angry. Then, her tone softened..
" If you feel guilty, take your nephew away. Your elder brother died young, leaving behind this miserable child. There is hope for the two of you to survive!" Jia Xiaoxian's eyes gradually became determined. He desperately ran to the backyard and picked up a four or five-year-old boy." Mother, I am unfilial. If something happens to my Jia family today, I will avenge my Jia family no matter what means I use! Chu Boping saw that Jia Xiaoxian was ready to leave and immediately commanded three puppets to resist the city guards, indicating that Shan Feiyu should carry Jia Xiaoxian and Meng Lingxi should carry the child..
"Madam, take care. I will protect you both first..
Chu Boping bowed slightly to Jia Mu and led a group of people to gallop away..
After Chu Boping and the others left, the Xingguo Duke's Mansion no longer resisted, and the city guards did not attack again. They only controlled everyone..
That night, Chu Boping found and rescued 16 sons and nephews of Jin 'an's old ministers..
