Chapter 356: Yu Huatian Leaves Beijing, the Curtain Is About to Open
Longjiang Naval Shipyard is the largest shipyard in the imperial court. It is heavily guarded and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Early in the morning of this day, a group of Dongchang eunuchs surrounded the Longjiang Naval Shipyard with a large number of troops.
Wan Yulou, the governor of the Dongchang, came in person to cause trouble for Qianzhi, the assistant minister of the Five Military Governor's Office.
The duty of the Dongchang is to monitor the officials of the outer court. In theory, what they do will only make officials strict with themselves and perform their duties. The emperor of the time thought so at first, but as time went by, the claws of these Dongchang eunuchs stretched longer and longer, and the things they did became more and more outrageous.
During the period when Cao Shaoqin and Liu Xi were in charge of the Dongchang, they were still restrained. Although they did a lot of evil things, they did not develop to the extent of arbitrarily arresting and killing officials.
But in the months when Wan Yulou was in charge of the Dongchang, because the conflict between the officials and the civil servants of the outer court intensified, the Dongchang acted cruelly and recklessly.
"Qianzhi, assistant to the Five Military Commandery, do you want to report me to the emperor?"
Wan Yulou stared at an official in a blue uniform and said coldly: "You guys actually dared to go to the emperor to report me for corruption and bribery. You are so brave!"
"Come on, cut off their tongues!"
Wan Yulou snorted coldly, his face full of cruelty and ruthlessness.
"Boom!"
Just as Wan Yulou finished speaking and his lackeys were about to take action, there was a sudden movement behind him. Seven or eight huge logs as thick as waists penetrated the big ship and smashed down towards Wan Yulou.
Wan Yulou was not a good guy, and the officials of the Longjiang Navy Shipyard were not simple goods.
The big ship was 30 meters long and 10 meters high before it was launched. No one knew what was inside except the craftsmen working on the ship and the supervising officials.
The thick logs broke through the hull and fell on the head, shocking everyone to scatter immediately.
The shipyard officials, as if they had practiced it long ago, fled away from the platform and the big ship, while Wan Yulou ignored the giant tree and looked up at the big ship.
Wan Yulou was a bit smart, and he immediately figured out the cause and effect. He turned back to look at Can Qianzhi and said sternly: "Can Qianzhi, you are so bold to collude with the fugitives!"
He shouted angrily, turned his palm into a claw, and jumped to grab Can Qianzhi. However, at this moment, a giant tree fell from the sky and fell on Wan Yulou's head.
The strong wind whistled, and Wan Yulou had to give up his original plan, clenched his right fist, and hit the giant tree hard from bottom to top.
"Bang!"
The giant tree that fell on his head collided with Wan Yulou's fist, and was shaken off the trajectory by his internal force, changing direction and flying diagonally into the sky.
At this moment, a man in black clothes and a hat came with a sword and stepped hard on the flying giant tree.
He landed his foot, and the huge tree that flew diagonally immediately stood up again. The extremely heavy tree, carrying the force of this man's smash, fell towards Wan Yulou's head again.
"Zhao Huaian! You finally can't hold back? Your cultivation has improved a lot. You have actually broken through the innate level. No wonder you can scare those dead eunuchs in the East Factory all day long!"
Xu Xin in the dark has been observing everything. After seeing Zhou Huaian, now Zhao Huaian, take action, he has a good idea of some plans.
"Boom!"
Wan Yulou snorted coldly, and clenched his right fist and hit upwards fiercely. Two masters, one on top and the other on the bottom, one using his feet and the other using his fists, all concentrated their terrifying power on the huge tree.
"Puff!"
After the dull sound, there was a series of shattering sounds. With the collision of force, countless small pieces of wood on the huge tree splashed out to the surroundings, and at the same time, the huge log also fell to the ground, and Wan Yulou dodged to the side in embarrassment.
"Tell me your name!"
"Zhao Huaian!"
"So you are the remnants of the defeated army of the Minister of Personnel!"
"Wan Yulou, you brewed wine with human heads and drank it. Have you ever thought that these resentful souls will come to seek revenge on you!"
Zhao Huaian swung the long sword in his hand, and the sharp blade slashed Wan Yulou's chest fiercely, tearing the gorgeous robe to pieces, but failed to hurt the other party.
"Golden silk soft armor? You wear this thing inside? You are really afraid of death!"
Zhao Huaian sneered, and a sweeping kick fell down to kick Wan Yulou, and then the long sword came out and stabbed upward from the belt.
A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, and Wan Yulou didn't care about drawing his sword. He stretched out his hand and slapped the ground fiercely, rolling continuously in a mess, and then broke free from the attack of the long sword.
Wan Yulou's kung fu was not bad, but it was only at the acquired realm. Moreover, he was in a high position and was old, so he rarely fought with others directly, which made him look so useless and incompetent.
"Bang!"
Wan Yulou's reaction was very quick, and Zhao Huaian was even faster. At the moment when he was trying to break free, Zhao Huaian raised his leg and kicked him directly onto the support next to the platform.
"Puff!"
A large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. Wan Yulou, who was already as white as paper, had a hideous face, which was even more terrifying than a ghost. The pain in his body made him angry, and the fear in his heart was truly fatal.
"Eunuch! Your men and the people you want to harm are watching you. They will announce your fate to the world! Die!"
Zhao Huaian raised the long sword in his hand, and Wan Yulou's life was reimbursed. He liked to brew wine with human heads, but this time his head was taken away by someone.
Xu Xin had been watching everything in secret, watching Zhao Huaian return to the capital and hang Wan Yulou's head on a flagpole outside a city wall outside the capital, provoking and humiliating him to the extreme.
What happened next was almost the same as he remembered. The remaining leaders of the East Factory were all scared and hid in the heavily guarded Dajue Temple.
Yu Huatian, who had always wanted to make a name for the West Factory, saw an opportunity and led his men straight into Dajue Temple. After teaching the people of the East Factory a lesson and taking away some of their resources, he prepared to leave with his men.
Then... it was the first fight between Zhao Huaian and Yu Huatian. Both of them were innate, but Yu Huatian's skills were deeper and his kung fu was more bizarre.
After a fight, neither side got the upper hand.
Xu Xin watched everything silently, and then watched a palace maid with a special mission leave the palace, and then some news spread out.
"Yu Huatian is really good at playing, pretending to be a palace maid who is pregnant with the dragon fetus. This Su Huirong is pretty, but unfortunately... I have no interest and no time!"
Xu Xin stood on a high place in the capital, taking in everything. He did not intervene in the plot of "Dragon Gate Flying Daggers", but made corresponding arrangements according to some things. After silently watching Yu Huatian and his party leave the capital, he returned to the palace.
Xu Xin will be in the capital for a long time to come. He will be busy with marriage, provincial examinations, and next year's joint examinations and palace examinations. So the plot of "Dragon Gate Flying Daggers" can only be let go.
