The ace special forces who dominated the Sui dynasty's late period

  Yang Guang finished speaking and pressed the second mechanism. The carriage suddenly shook, and Gao Xiuer's body swayed up and down, as if actively welcoming it. Xie Xiangru and the other beauties all covered their faces in shame. The posture of having her legs wide apart was already humiliating enough, now she was completely exposed, Gao Xiuer could no longer bear it, tears streaming down her face, in unbearable pain.

  "Your Majesty, I'll help you change." Xu Tingfu assisted Yang Guang in removing his dragon robe with a flattering expression, but then turned around and scolded the several small eunuchs, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly take off her clothes!"

  Yang Guang waved his hand: "You all step aside, I'll take care of it myself."

  Gao Xiuer was trapped in the carriage, unable to move. Yang Guang pounced on her like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey in a cage, his eyes gleaming with malice as he reached out with his demonic claws towards the waist of her Luo skirt.

  Suddenly, a loud "bang" was heard, and the tightly closed door suddenly shattered into several pieces, flying into the room. The few small eunuchs who were retreating towards the door were caught off guard, and in an instant they were smashed to the point of having their heads broken and bleeding, with bones fractured and tendons torn.

  Ma Zhong's figure flashed, blocking Yang Guang behind him, and with a swing of his iron fist, he shattered the flying door panel into pieces.

  Shards flew everywhere, and the beautiful women standing nearby were suddenly affected by the flying debris. Some had their skin cut open, while others suffered broken bones, letting out waves of pitiful cries. Xu Tingfu was hit the hardest, directly struck on the left leg by a hard wooden plank, causing him to kneel down on the ground, wailing in agony. The room fell into chaos instantly.

  It's already deep autumn, and the cool air is biting at night. The building has a stove, which makes the room warm like spring. The beauties are all wearing only a thin shirt, and Yang Guang is left with only one pair of pants. Suddenly, the door bursts open, cold wind blows in, and everyone shivers. Even Ma Zhong and Wang Hong, these two masters, can't help but shrink their necks.

  In the cold wind, a black figure with a mask on his face mixed with a cluster of mist rushed over and shouted loudly: "Yang Guang, come to your death!"

  "Your Majesty, hurry!" Wang Hong reacted and pulled Yang Guang towards the back of the building and ran.

  Ma Zhong let out a loud roar and stood up straight to face the black figure, shouting: "You scoundrel, watch my fist!"

  Just as she was about to be publicly humiliated by Yang Guang, Gao Xiuer, who had already given up all hope, suddenly heard a commotion around her and quickly opened her eyes to see a black figure pouncing on Ma Zhong. From the figure alone, Gao Xiuer couldn't be certain, but the punch that the figure threw was unmistakably the same as the one she practiced every morning.

  Gao Xiuer entered the palace to assassinate, had already taken a desperate heart, but she did not want Liu Ziqiu to take risks, just thinking of shouting for him to leave, but the unwillingness to be humiliated suddenly took over, and she blurted out: "Lang Jun, save me!"

  Yang Guang had already been pulled away by Wang Hong for seven or eight steps, and upon hearing the voice saying "Lang Jun", he was consumed by jealousy, turned around and pointed at the black shadow who was entangled with Ma Zhong, shouting: "Take away the Ruyi chariot! Kill him!"

  Heiying was indeed Liu Ziqiu. Although he had entered the imperial palace three times, he didn't think it was the best place to make a move. Once his tracks were exposed, the high walls of the palace would be filled with soldiers, and no matter how great one's martial arts skills were, it would be hard to fly away. The Weilin Garden was different. The surrounding walls were only as tall as a person, and there was also a waterway leading outside, so even if things went wrong, the chances of retreating wholeheartedly would be much greater.

  Yesterday evening, Liu Ziqiu went to Xiyuan to explore the route, confirmed the entry and exit routes, and today is the day to take action. Originally wanted to catch a few more live mouths, but unexpectedly encountered Wang Guizhi first, which saved a lot of effort.

  Liu Ziqiu knew that the best time to take action was when Yang Guang was on the verge of death. However, when several small eunuchs opened up, Liu Ziqiu suddenly found that the woman trapped in the carriage looked like Gao Xiuer, and she hastily launched a premature attack.

  In the Five Elements Fist, the Water Fist is not the most powerful one. However, Liu Ziqiu had just emerged from the lake and was soaking wet, so he used this style of fist which belonged to water, but was identified by Gao Xiuer.

  Experts can tell at a glance. Wang Hong only saw the black shadow and Ma Zhong exchange three moves, and he knew that even if he joined forces with Ma Zhong, it would be difficult to win. In the Upper Forest Garden, apart from women and eunuchs, only he and Ma Zhong had any real skills. Protecting Yang Guang was the most important thing, and for now, the best plan was to take advantage of the fierce battle between Ma Zhong and the black shadow to escape with Yang Guang.

  Wang Hong ignored Yang Guang's rebuke and pulled him to continue fleeing towards the back of the building.

  Those little eunuchs have been injured by the broken door panels and are rolling around on the ground, wailing in pain. They don't have the strength to lift the imperial carriage anymore. On the other hand, several beauties who want to win Yang's favor hurriedly ran over to lift the imperial carriage. Unfortunately, their delicate bodies couldn't budge it at all.

  With a loud "bang", Liu Ziqiu and Ma Zhong's fists heavily collided. Then, Ma Zhong flipped over in mid-air, flying out three zhang away, stumbling a few steps before finally standing still, with two bloody holes on each of his palms.

  Liu Ziqiu had just used a tactic of making a false move to the east while attacking in the west. On the surface, he was going to assassinate Yang Guang, but in reality, he had already changed his mind and decided to rescue Gao Xiuer first. Before taking action, he had observed that among the people in the house, only Ma Zhong and Wang Hong were steady on their feet and possessed martial arts skills, while the others were not worth considering.

  Now, Wang Hong protected Yang Guang and hastily retreated. Liu Ziqiu was unwilling to entangle with Ma Zhong again, and had already pulled out the three-edged dagger from his sleeve. Ma Zhong was unaware of this, and swung his fist upwards, only to be stabbed until he was covered in blood.

  At this time, Liu Ziqiu also heard the cry for help and was certain that it was Gao Xiuer. After repelling Ma Zhong, he immediately leaped forward to the front of the carriage. However, Gao Xiuer's limbs were locked in copper rings, her body still swaying up and down, but Liu Ziqiu did not know where the mechanism was located.

  Those beauties who were trying to lift the Ruyi chariot saw Liu Ziqiu rushing over and were so frightened that they lost their composure and scattered in all directions.

  Suddenly, Liu Ziqiu heard the wind behind his head and turned around to slap it with his palm. It was a jade flute. The jade flute flipped twice in mid-air before falling to the ground, shattering into powder.

  It turned out that Xie Xiangyun didn't hear Gao Xiuer's shout, but thought Liu Ziqiu was going to chase after Yang Guang. In the chaos, she suddenly gained strength and hugged Yaoqin to hit Liu Ziqiu.

  Yuan Ziyen clearly heard the sound, knowing that this person was here to rescue "Shi Hui Niang", and hastily pulled Xie Xiangwen, saying: "Sister, it's dangerous here, let's run!"

  Xu Tingfu actually fell beside the carriage, he crawled backwards while looking at Liu Ziqiu with his eyes, feeling that the figure was somewhat familiar, but couldn't think of where he had seen him before. Suddenly, a severe pain like an external heart attack occurred in his injured leg, and he vaguely saw a black shadow trampling over his body, unable to bear a mournful cry, and fainted.

  Ma Zhong was the one who knocked Xu Tingfu dizzy. His two hands were pierced by three prongs, and blood flowed freely, but he knew that at this moment he could not escape, and had to hold on tightly to Liu Ziqiu, waiting for reinforcements. Suddenly lifting his head, Ma Zhong saw the precious sword stuck in the roof, so he jumped up, pulled out the sword to fight Liu Ziqiu, but unexpectedly tripped over Xu Tingfu's body as he was retreating backwards and fell down himself.

  Liu Ziqiu couldn't find the mechanism, so he randomly slapped at it a few times on the Ruyi chariot. Suddenly, he heard a "hua la" sound, and several layers of brocade curtains fell from the top of the chariot, surrounding the Ruyi chariot all around. The jade pieces and golden bells on the curtains collided with each other, making a crisp "ding ding dang dang" sound, which startled Liu Ziqiu.

  On the other side, Ma Zhong was already propping himself up with his treasured sword and struggling to get up. Liu Ziqiu no longer hesitated, secretly mobilizing his inner energy, and heavily slapped a palm onto the Ruyi chariot. The Ruyi chariot violently jumped once, and stopped swaying. Gao Xiuer, who had already been shaken dizzy, involuntarily let out a long sigh and said: "Lang Jun, you quickly run!"

  After a brief panic, Gao Xiuer had thought it through and realized that she could only be a burden to Liu Ziqiu, and perhaps neither of them would be able to escape.

  Liu Ziqiu didn't bother with her, let out a loud roar, and struck the Ruyi chariot twice with his palms. These two palms used up all his strength, and all that could be heard was a light "pa" sound, as the copper rings on Gao Xiuer's hands and feet suddenly popped open. Immediately after, there was a loud "hong" sound, as the Ruyi chariot suddenly burst apart, sending fragments flying everywhere.

  Ma Zhong, who had just climbed up, hadn't yet steadied himself when he was struck in the chest by a broken wooden beam. The force of this blow was enormous, and his throat felt sweet as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood before falling down again, directly on top of Xu Tingfu's body.

  Gao Xiuer lost her restraint and fell straight down, less than half a foot away from the ground. She couldn't help but let out a loud cry of surprise, but was caught by Liu Ziqiu in one swift motion, like an uprooted scallion, and they were already at the door.

  All this happened between dawn and dusk, just a matter of minutes, the small building in the Weiyin courtyard had become a mess.

  Gao Xiuer struggled with all her might and said: "Lang Jun, let me go, you can leave quickly by yourself!"

  "Stop talking nonsense! I won't abandon you!" Liu Ziqiu carried Gao Xiuer on his back and asked while running, "Can you swim?"

  Gaixiu shook her head. Born into a wealthy family, Gaixiu was raised as a lady by her father and naturally wasn't taught how to swim. Later when she arrived at Changshan Village, the fish and shrimp they relied on for food were all given by the village uncles and aunts, but she herself had never been in the sea before, a typical land duck.

  The Shanglin Garden is heavily guarded, and the safest way to get in is by water. Liu Ziqiu had swum in twice before, so it was natural that he would take the same route to rescue Gao Xiuer. However, he hadn't expected that Gao Xiuer couldn't swim.

  Liu Ziqiu was hesitating when he heard the sound of breaking air behind him. Judging from the direction, it was heading straight for Gao Xiuer's back. Liu Ziqiu didn't have time to think much and quickly shifted his body to the right, but felt a severe pain in his left shoulder, only to be stabbed by Ma Zhong's sword as he struggled to get up.

  Gao Xiuer was so anxious that tears streamed down her face, and she exclaimed: "Lang Jun, you..."

  Liu Ziqiu endured the severe pain and launched a flying kick that landed squarely on Ma Zhong's jaw.

  Ma Zhong had just used up all his strength to stab Liu Ziqiu with one sword, and he couldn't dodge this kick no matter what. He let out a miserable cry, like a kite with a broken string, and flew straight out, crashing into the wall with a "thud". Three more ribs were broken, and he was finally unable to fight back.

  Liu Ziqiu had actually made up his mind to kill, but just as he was about to do so, his left shoulder suddenly got injured. This kick went out, but it didn't use full force. Time was pressing, Liu Ziqiu ignored Gao Xiuer's pleading and carried her straight to the lake.

  In the water pavilion, He Dong also heard the movement coming from the small building in the Qi Yin courtyard. He was looking in that direction when he suddenly saw a black shadow rushing over. He Dong hastily spread his arms and shouted loudly: "How dare you! In the imperial garden, how can you be so presumptuous!"
