Chapter 731: Must Be Captured Alive

At this moment, there was a "boom", but it was different from the muffled thunder before, this time it was accompanied by fire.

Luo Jiang was slightly startled, and looked in the direction.

Because she is not a Taoist, Luo Jiang just felt an uncomfortable aura rising into the sky in the distance, but after careful study, she felt nothing at all.

After only one glance, Luo Jiang put down the booklet, and fell into deep thought: "What happened to make Fang Xiaohou lose his composure?"

Although she is a member of the Imperial City Division, she really doesn't know what happened outside at this time.

"Could it be related to the kings? After all, the city has not been peaceful these past few days, and I was even rumored to be keeping an eye on Duke Dai."

Just now when she was dancing, she had already passed the result of her marking to Fang Zhen with a secret signal. It is said that the task was completed well, but Luo Jiang was not overjoyed, and only squeezed the sword manual again, lowering her eyelashes.

Fang Zhen walked out from the inside, his face already grim, but when he looked in the direction of the constant bang, his breath was even colder.

"Let the horse!"

Because he is serving the current emperor, Fang Zhen can be regarded as powerful and powerful among the powerful and younger generation, and he has also consolidated his status as the son of the world, but this kind of thing is like a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror. Once the emperor loses trust, it may be beaten back to its original shape.

Fang Zhen had to work harder to ensure that everything would not be taken back now.

You know, Fang Zhen also has brothers.

Just now, he came to report to the armored soldiers that Qingyuan Temple did not stop the big monster, let the big monster hiding there run away, and was about to break through the wall and escape from the capital. This situation was like a slap in the face, hitting Fang Zhen hard superior.

Although this matter was sponsored by Governor Zhao of the Imperial City Department, and Huo Wuyong was in charge, but Fang Zhen also participated in it. If the monster could not be killed, the emperor would lay down millions of corpses in a rage, and the consequences would be disastrous .

Fang Zhen was slightly relieved to learn that Eunuch Zhao was supervising the battle ahead.

Compared with other chief eunuchs, Eunuch Zhao has been to the Southwest, and has also stumbled, but he is much better than "talking about soldiers on paper" in terms of using troops.

Moreover, the contacts in the Imperial City Division and the understanding of the capital are not comparable to those in the Southwest. If they stumble there, they may not repeat the same mistakes here in the capital.

"Report!" Just as he was deep in thought, a armored soldier came galloping on horseback, fell directly to the ground, got up again and came in front of Fang Zhen.

"The Imperial City Division has captured the key criminals, and there have been hundreds of casualties. The East Gate is asking for reinforcements!"

Hundreds of casualties?

This is a frontier battlefield, but in the capital!

And this time to capture the monsters, it was not ordinary armored soldiers who went to the front to arrest them, they were all elites. In a short period of time, hundreds of people were lost. This is already an extremely serious situation.

"Qingyuan Temple." Fang Zhen recited the name with a more dignified expression on his face.

This is the most important place to search, and there are many people who go there. It's fine if the big monster is not left behind, and it's fine if the big monster is allowed to escape to the east gate, but the big monster can still hurt people until now?

This monster is so powerful?

The restraint of the demon clan in the capital is the highest level, and there are quite a few Taoist masters in the capital recently, so it is impossible to take them down?

A big monster, more than that?

"Lead the way ahead!" Fang Zhen got on his horse and ordered immediately.

Several fast horses, together with a group of armored soldiers running behind, passed quickly on the street. At this critical moment, this kind of emergency preparedness has been activated.

And anyone who sees horses galloping on the road and teams of armored soldiers running, will definitely give way.

Tonight's capital city is not destined to be peaceful. At night, the ox carts speeding past, the hooves of horses sounded one after another on the quiet road, and the people in these streets, every household has already woken up up.

Even many people far away from the street were awakened by the previous rumbling.

After listening carefully, they found that it was not thunder, but the eerie and ominous atmosphere made them dare not even light the candles. The family hid in a room, held their breath, and listened outside.

Occasionally, one or two courageous people leaned over to the gate, looked out through the crack of the door, and saw the armored soldiers passing by on the street, trembling with fright.

This is going to be a big deal!

But Fang Zhen rode his horse and was led to the east gate ten miles away from Qingyuan Temple. The area next to the city wall was not prosperous.

The few rounds of battles just now did not cause civilian casualties, but the smell of blood and charred corpses in the air was so strong that Fang Zhen almost spit it out when he got close.

Everything in front of me is more like the legendary hell.

I saw dead bodies lying everywhere on the road ahead and by the side of the road. Many corpses were still smoking. They looked charred, let alone rescued, and they were afraid they would shatter if touched.

In an area in the distance, there is still a raging fire, and there is a figure in the fire, trying to break through, jumping over the encircling circle of obstacles, and rushing towards the city wall.

The light of fire, the cold light of weapons, shines brightly in the dark night.

"Roar!" Hearing the roar from the halo and fire, Fang Zhen's expression was grim.

While going around the circle and walking towards the command office, Fang Zhen asked the captain who approached as soon as he saw him: "How's the situation?"

"My lord, it's not good." The captain, who was an acquaintance of Fang Zhen, lowered his voice: "About 120 people have been killed in battle. If we can't kill the big monster, this won't last long."

"Why don't you shoot the crossbow?" Fang Zhen scanned around and found that there were not many crossbow arrows on the ground, and the armored soldiers surrounding this circle were only armed with weapons, and only occasionally shot one or two arrows, causing trauma to the monster. Why? Don't shoot a salvo of crossbow arrows directly?

The essence of the government is that all people come together, and all arrows are fired together. Who will say what rules and morals?

The lieutenant hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice: "This is Zhao Xia's order."

order?what order?Don't let the armored soldiers shoot a volley of arrows at the big monster?

What is this doing?

If the situation here is good, it's fine, so many people have died, and the big monster has not been killed, so just watch the other party break through the encirclement?

Fang Zhen's face was livid, and he couldn't understand.

When he saw Eunuch Zhao standing on a high slope surrounded by a group of people, Fang Zhen hurried forward and asked, "Eunuch Zhao, things are not going well, why don't you order a volley of crossbow arrows?"

This is a suggestion, but it also raises some questions.

Although Fang Zhen is usually respectful, he is the hereditary son of Lord Hou, not Eunuch Zhao's subordinate.

I just asked, and suddenly saw a hundred households coming back from before, and immediately knelt down: "Report! The monster and demon fire can no longer be used! They must be besieged to death!"

"Very good!" Eunuch Zhao glanced at Fang Zhen, and continued to order: "This monster must not die, it must be captured alive!"

Baihu immediately responded and left.

Why?Fang Zhen was even more puzzled, and heard Eunuch Zhao say to him, "Why, you don't understand?"

Fang Zhen also realized at this time that this was probably not Eunuch Zhao's mistake, but another intention, and pondered: "Could it be to find out the purpose of it coming to Beijing?"

Or, does the emperor want this big monster to be useful?

"It's not just like that!" Eunuch Zhao laughed, his voice was cold and cold: "The capital city is where the magic weapon of a country is located, where all laws and changes are made, not to mention monsters, even real people have to bow their heads and bow their heads."

"But now, there is an example of being able to not be oppressed in Beijing and using demon methods. How serious is this? It has shaken the country. Our family was ordered to find out why it was able to enter Beijing and why it was not suppressed. No matter how many people died, They must all be captured alive!"
