My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 71 looks like shooting a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

The sky, which was originally cloudless, was suddenly covered by thick clouds that blocked out the sunlight, but Luoyang remained hot and dry.

"Report! Your Majesty! The central army has surrounded the residence of the General Who Conquers the West."

"Your Majesty! The Prince of Guangping's villa is also surrounded!"

"Your Majesty..."

His personal guards were almost constantly relaying messages back to him.

Yuan Yi remained unmoved!
Then, a familiar figure, led by a general of the Imperial Guard, strode over. It was none other than Liu Teng, a close attendant.

"I've met the king!"

"No need to be polite."

Yuan Yi then smiled and got up to greet him.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty sent me to inquire what exactly happened in Luoyang."

"Please report to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager that I have just received a report that some scoundrels in the Central Army have gathered a crowd and set fire to the Ministry of Personnel. I have immediately dispatched the Imperial Guards to arrest all the perpetrators and await Your Majesty's judgment!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty!"

Liu Teng was startled to see Yuan Yi fully armed. It seemed that the Prince of Jiangyang had just received the news. However, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He gave Yuan Yi a deep look before turning back to report the news.

After watching him leave, Yuan Yi went outside the main tent and began to relay orders. Soon after, six heavily armored men came before him and bowed.

"Meet the general!"

Yuan Yi nodded, then called out a name, "Erzhu Rong!"

"The general is here!"

A fair-skinned, handsome man immediately responded loudly!
This man was Erzhu Rong, whom Liu Gui had been trying to introduce to the Gao brothers. As a member of the Qihu Yanchen clan, he was currently serving as a guerrilla general in the Imperial Guard.

"Take five hundred elite cavalry to the Prince of Guangping's villa and detain the rioting soldiers!"

"Here!"

Erzhu Rong clasped his hands in obedience!
Yuan Yi was quite pleased with himself, and now was the time to reap the rewards. This farce in Luoyang caused by the central army was finally coming to an end, and he would be the greatest contributor to saving Luoyang!
Erzhu Rong was also very satisfied. On his way back to Luoyang from Xiurongchuan, he presented Yuan Yi with a hundred fine horses. These investments would pay off in the near future.

Yuan Yi nodded and then spoke again.

"Shedigan, Daxiwu, you two will go with Erzhurong!"

"Here!!"

The three immediately left, gathering their men and preparing to depart!
Yuan Yi possessed detailed information and knew that the number of soldiers from the central army heading to the Prince of Guangping's villa was small, while the majority, numbering over a thousand, were with Zhang Yi.

He has to handle this personally!

"The rest of you, follow me to the residence of the General Who Conquers the West!"

………………

Cui Xian reacted extremely quickly, dodging a slash aimed at his vitals, and then retaliated by thrusting his sword at the rogue who was taking advantage of the chaos in front of him!
Not to be outdone, Jia Sixie, who looked old, thrust his long sword and killed one of them as well!
"Why is such thick black smoke rising from the direction of the Ministry of Personnel?!"

"They're saying the central army has rebelled?!"

"I don't know, but seeing that these vagrants dare to take advantage of the situation to rob and cause trouble in Jinshi, even if the central army hasn't rebelled, it's probably not far off!"

"careful!"

"It doesn't matter!"

While talking, the two worked together and quickly killed the five or six thugs who had rushed into the tavern to take advantage of the chaos. The beautiful women who had been cowering in the corner were nowhere to be found.

Cui Xian didn't forget to flatter him, "Brother Zhixing, your martial arts are superb!"

Jia Sixie also joined in with some mutual flattery, saying, "The Six Arts of a Gentleman! Brother Ji Lun, you're not bad either."

The two men smiled at each other. Both the Cui and Jia families of Boling and Qingzhou were prominent families. They were not weak scholars who could not even kill a chicken. In addition to studying the books of the sages, they also practiced martial arts. They could fight the barbarians on horseback and draft military documents on foot. They were generals and ministers. This was the behavior model for the sons of noble families after the Han Dynasty.

Even if he didn't go into battle to kill the enemy, it was still easy for him to take down a few vagrants.

"This is no place to linger!"

"Of course!"

After Cui Xian made the suggestion, the two immediately rushed outside the tavern, seized two horses, and galloped off at full speed, not caring whether they would bump into anyone, and rushed straight out from the West Market.

At present, the people of Luoyang are all in danger and keep their doors and windows closed. Apart from groups of delinquent teenagers, there are hardly any other people to be seen on the streets!
The two of them, on the contrary, enjoyed the privileges usually reserved for princes, galloping wildly through Luoyang City!

After turning a few corners, the two made sure no one was chasing them before slowing down.

Jia Sixie gazed at the billowing black smoke and towering flames in the direction of the Ministry of Personnel, his heart heavy. "This disturbance in the Central Army has caused quite a stir. When the court investigates it later, I wonder how many more people will be implicated."

"otherwise!"

Cui Xian shook his head. "Brother Zhixing, do you still remember what I said at the Imperial Academy yesterday? The central army has tens of thousands of soldiers, all from good Xianbei families. They are deeply entrenched and their situation is complicated. Moving one of them will affect the whole situation. How difficult it is to deal with them!"

“If they are not dealt with, where will the court’s prestige be?” Although Jia Sixie felt that his friend’s words made sense, he still felt that the court could not let these troublemakers off lightly in order to maintain its dignity. However, he did not want to argue with his friend, and now was not the time to discuss this, so he continued.

“The situation is not clear right now, so we should not linger on this street to avoid trouble. My residence is not far from here. Brother Ji Lun, you may come with me. We can go back after everything is settled.”

"Then I thank you, Brother Zhixing!"

After riding their horses around several street corners, the two entered a neighborhood and suddenly heard a loud shout from ahead.

The sound was as loud as a great bell, and could be heard even from tens or hundreds of steps away.

"I am Moheduo, a barbarian from Huaishuo! The Princess Consort of Guangping is here! By the Princess Consort's decree, anyone who dares to cross this arrow even half a step shall die!"

Cui Xian and Jia Sixie exchanged a glance and quickly dismounted to secretly observe the source of the sound!
Look from afar!

A young man dressed in Hu clothing stood on the courtyard wall, holding a bow, looking down at the surroundings. In front of him were hundreds of soldiers of the central army.

But what surprised them was...

Hundreds of soldiers in the central army were intimidated and driven back by this young man alone; not a single one dared to step forward and cross the line!
Cui Xian's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, "A true hero!"

Jia Sixie was a beat slow to react, but he nodded as well.

"I previously thought that the 'Dangyang Duanhe' was just a novelist's nonsense, but seeing it today, I realize it's true!"

Those who were far away did not know what was happening, but the fact that no one in the central army dared to move forward was clearly seen by them!
The two of them widened their eyes and stared intently at the boy on the courtyard wall who called himself "Huai Shuo Barbarian"!

………………

On the pagoda inside Jingyue Temple!

Yang Kan carried his younger sister on his back, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the window. He witnessed Gao Yu firing six arrows in rapid succession, each one hitting its mark!
And every arrow hit a vital spot!

"Brilliant! What a true hero!" he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Truly a divine archer! This young man's archery skills are so remarkable! I really want to have a match with him."

However, when he heard Gao Yu shout to intimidate the soldiers in the central army, he couldn't help but look disappointed and sigh repeatedly.

"It's a pity he's a Xianbei..."

Yang Changchu's clear eyes sparkled as she excitedly said, "Brother, the Xianbei archery seems to be even better than yours!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Kan's expression immediately changed, and he blurted out, "Bullshit!"

………………

Among hundreds of soldiers!

Kou Wen stared intently at Gao Yu with a venomous look in his eyes.

Those damned Huai Shuo barbarians!
He looked around and realized that these hundreds of soldiers were truly terrified by Gao Yu alone!
Firstly, Gao Yu's archery skills were unbelievable, and his methods were ruthless. He fired arrows in rapid succession, each one hitting a vital point. In the blink of an eye, he had fired six arrows, killing six people instantly. This was completely beyond the comprehension of the soldiers in the central army.

Secondly, Gao Yu was quite famous within the central army; he wasn't someone who didn't exist.

During the northern expedition against the Rouran, many men from the central army went there, and they had the most direct experience of Gao Yu's bravery!
Even the soldiers of the central army who did not follow Li Chong north to conquer Rouran had more or less heard the story of a young man from Huai Shuo who fought against the three Heba brothers single-handedly, holding his own and even nearly winning.

"It's him! That second-year high school student from Huai Shuo High School!"

"Such superb archery skills must belong to him..."

“I heard from those who returned from the northern expedition against the Rouran that this man was extremely brave.”

"It's more than just bravery! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's unparalleled in archery and horsemanship, and unmatched in spear and lance skills!"

"Then let's..."

Seeing that these people were having second thoughts, Kou Wen didn't care whether his words were contradictory and immediately spoke up!
"No matter how brave he is, he's still just a man. What's there to be afraid of!"

"Even if we let him shoot, how many arrows can he shoot?!"

"Let's all rush in..."

Seeing that some people in the crowd dared to continue inciting others, Gao Yu immediately grabbed another arrow and drew the bowstring taut.

"Let me wait..."

Kou Wen excitedly urged them on, but all he heard was the sound of something breaking through the air.

His body jolted suddenly.

At the same time, a sharp pain shot through his neck, and he realized that he could no longer make any sound. With each exhale, he could only spit out one bloody bubble after another.

With difficulty, he turned his head, his eyes wide with astonishment and disbelief, and looked at Gao Yu on the courtyard wall.

Those damned Huai Shuo barbarians!
They actually dared to...

Kou Wen collapsed instantly.

Gao Yu calmly drew five or six more arrows from his quiver and nocked them on his bow. His gaze was sharp, his killing intent like a knife, and his voice like thunder.

Those who incite unrest shall also die!
