As I rode out, cold wind and snow hit my face, disturbing many pedestrians. I just turned across a bridge and suddenly felt something was wrong. There were no pedestrians on this bridge.
For a moment, Pei Ziyun felt his hair stand on end. He turned over and hid under the horse. He heard several "puff" sounds, and in an instant, more than a dozen arrows hit the horse.
The horse neighed sadly and fell down. Pei Ziyun had already jumped out and stuck to the ground. Like a ray of light, he instantly jumped into a group of men in black.
As they got closer, the crossbow had no time to fire, and only one person let out a short sharp whistle. The ten people immediately divided into two groups. The first group of five people suddenly pulled out a lasso and lassoed it towards Pei Ziyun.
This change was unexpected. The lasso was extremely proficient. The remaining five groups drew their swords, and sword light gushed out.
"Wind body and cloud body!"
The figure flew past, the speed increased even more, all the nooses failed, and with a "pop", the nearest person staggered sideways and fell, blood spurting out from his right side.
Without hesitation, the sword light came down fiercely, with a "clang" sound and sparks flying. The sword held the sword, and the person who took out the sword was shaken all over, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Instead of advancing, he retreated, and the sword light went straight up.
This wasn't about killing the enemy, it was about trying desperately to intercept Pei Ziyun's direction. The three swords from behind were fired in unison, overwhelming the enemy and blocking all the space.
"I am invincible!" This is the sword technique of a soldier.
"Zhengzhengzheng" the figures scattered in all directions, sometimes joining together and sometimes separating.
Pei Ziyun appeared, with a cold light in his eyes. He saw that his clothes were torn, and there was a layer of soft armor inside. The soft armor was cut open, but miraculously, the skin was not broken, only a trace of red line.
This is the injury caused by the sword energy.
"Uh..." The guard in black on the opposite side fell out, blood gushing out like a fountain.
The right leg of the one on the right was missing, and he fell heavily to the ground and struggled. The top door on the left was flattened, and the white and red under the white skull could be seen.
In the next moment, Pei Ziyun didn't stop, and pounced on him with swords and men. He didn't give the black-clothed guard any time to breathe and adjust, and his movements were smooth and fluid.
After throwing away the lasso and drawing the sword, Pei Ziyun's figure suddenly disappeared, no, it did not disappear, but quickly turned and sank, followed by a sword light that showed no mercy.
"Poof" seemed to be the sword in the captain's black-clothed guard's forehead. The forehead was very hard. At this time, it was like tofu. There was not much blood there, and there was only a muffled sound. The captain subconsciously touched his forehead and reached halfway. He lost strength and consciousness and fell straight down.
A guard in black suddenly shouted, without dodging or evading, he allowed a sword to penetrate from his chest to his back, and desperately grabbed the edge of the sword: "Kill me..."
The guard in black behind him stabbed straight with two swords, and with two "puff" sounds, he pierced the body of the guard in black, bringing up a fountain of blood and continuing to stab him.
The guards in black on the left and right roared angrily and attacked each other simultaneously, slashing with two knives alternately.
"The only essence of military swordsmanship is to surround and kill at all costs." Pei Ziyun could instantly hear the two long knives piercing the body of the black-clad guard facing him, making a muffled collision sound in his body.
The black-clothed guard's eyes were wide open, he was certain to die, but at this moment, he was not dead yet, and his eyes were filled with the light of realization that he had died in the line of duty.
Pei Ziyun suddenly shouted, and drew the sword with great force. The guard in black grabbed the sword with all his strength and cut it like tofu. The sword body instantly separated from the body, and the figure changed, creating a superimposed shadow, and the sword tip turned sideways. A black-clothed guard's shoulder was cut open, breaking the bones and spurting out a fountain of blood.
After breaking up the formation, they felt relaxed immediately. The sword light changed again, and the remaining three people fell out with a "puff puff".
The two sides were fighting at an indescribable speed. In the blink of an eye, all the black-clothed guards were killed. Only then did the black-clothed guard holding the sword see the change, let out a long cry, and fell out.
Pei Ziyun stepped forward slowly and cut back on the black-clothed guard. He heard repeated pop-pop pop-pop sounds, and there was a smell of blood in the field. He threw away his shirt and it was suddenly clean.
There wasn't much time left at this time. Seeing the heavy gray clouds and the sleet turning into snow again, I turned around and found my way out of the alley and ran to the street. I scanned the shops along the way and my eyes suddenly lit up.
This is a hotel with a small facade. There are only five tables inside. It is cold and dark at this time, soybean oil lamps are lit, and there are only two or three guests.
When the waiter saw Pei Ziyun, he waved a cloth towel to greet him and said, "Sir, please come in quickly. It's cold, so you can warm yourself up by drinking from the big pot."
Even though time was of the essence, Pei Ziyun still nodded, sat at a table in the corner, and ordered: "Bring on the wine and some more dishes!"
The waiter smiled and agreed, and saw the Prince's Mansion token revealed on Pei Ziyun's inner hand. Although it flashed by, the waiter was still startled. In a blink of an eye, he picked up a tray and shouted: "The braised chicken in my store is the best." , and add a plate of five-spice peanuts, you are guaranteed to be delicious!"
"If you want anything else, just ask." He said and came closer.
Pei Ziyun whispered: "I am Pei Ziyun, Yingzhou Jieyuan. Quick, inform the superiors that the prince is in danger. I want to meet him when he passes by."
"Go quickly, if you delay the prince's important affairs, I will behead you!"
After finishing speaking, Pei Ziyun said loudly: "Another plate of fried mushrooms!"
The waiter's face turned pale, but he responded: "Okay, sir, wait a moment!"
Pei Ziyun calmed down, poured wine, and ate meat. After a while, the waiter came up with the fruit and hinted that Pei Ziyun pretended to finish eating and went out. In the dim light, several people in raincoats approached quickly.
"Is it Pei Jieyuan?" One person looked at it, waved and said, surrounded by several people vaguely surrounding him for protection.
Pei Ziyun raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you the secret guards following the prince? Can you contact the prince now? I will bear all the responsibilities!"
The man's muscles twitched, he took a deep look and said, "Okay, if the prince passes by, we can pick him up with a flag from a distance. You can get closer to the turning point, but the prince can't see you. This is the prince." It’s decided.”
At this moment, there was already a sound, and there was only a chariot, whose model was only slightly inferior to that of the Emperor. There were six knights in the vanguard, divided into two ranks, and two horsemen holding crossbows.
There were twenty halberdiers on the left and right, eight more armored men following the chariot, and four guards watching from the left and right. There were six more knights in the rear guard, divided into two layers, with two more horsemen holding crossbows.
At this time, if someone was making a gesture, the guard looked at it intently, went in again, said something to the prince, and came out to make a gesture. The guard did not change anything and continued to move forward.
At this time, the sky was overcast, the wind was howling, and the snow was gradually getting heavier, covering the ground with a thin layer. When turning a corner, a sudden figure flashed, which seemed to be just an illusion, because there was no movement from the surrounding guards.
The chariot continued to move forward steadily. The prince inside was holding a hand stove and smiled: "Master Qining, what happened to you who are so anxious to see me alone?"
"Come, sit down and wipe your face with a hot towel first."
There was also a maid inside. At this time, she took out a towel and a silver bottle covered with cotton cover, poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Pei Ziyun.
"The prince must be calm when faced with big things!" Pei Ziyun smiled dumbly at these words, thinking to himself, he is the prince, although he is not talented, but he has cultivated his temperament after being in the position for a long time.
But when he glanced over, he saw the prince's hand trembling slightly, and he smiled to himself, but he said calmly: "Is the prince going to the palace to explain about Concubine Jin?"
The prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took a glass of wine and drank it. He seemed to appreciate the aroma of the wine and said, "This is just a small matter. There is no shortage of women in my prince's house. This concubine is not stunningly beautiful. How could I have an affair with her."
"I have already figured out that this Jin concubine also has a scope of activities, and we can't see each other casually or alone. Moreover, I have time and entry and exit records when I enter the palace. It is even more difficult to be coincidental. When the emperor asks, as long as the time is correct, it will be clear. "
"If Zhenren is here for this, then Gu De said, it's not a big deal."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth: "I already know who that servant is. He sold himself to bury his father. I took it because he looked pitiful. The monthly salary is more than usual, and the annual rewards are also quite large. I don't want to do such a thing. I won't do it again." If you are generous, I will skin him when you get back!"
Pei Ziyun was speechless after hearing this. He saw that the wind and snow were even more blurry and the scenery was not very clear. He sighed and smiled: "What the prince said is that this is obviously a villain's slander. But everyone knows this, why would a villain want to do this?" Tell this secret?"
The prince was startled, then listened to what Pei Ziyun said: "Since there is a spy in the house, why can't there be a second one? For example, the prince now has a love letter to Jin Concubine or something else in his inner pocket."
"I went into the palace to check and found out. Do you think the emperor believes it?"
The prince's color suddenly changed.
After a while, the chariot shook, and the guard quickly asked: "Prince, what's the matter?"
"Nothing, I dropped a tea cup, continue." The prince's voice came from inside.
The chariot continued to move forward. Looking through the glass (there was opaque glass in ancient times), velvet-like snowflakes were falling outside. The prince's face was ashen and his whole body was trembling. What he took out was a medicine bag with several longan in it. Big and small meatballs, refined with beeswax, smell it, and the aroma will hit your nostrils.
"What is this, poison? Poisoned by Slander?"
"Who wants to kill the traitor of the Nine Tribes and secretly puts this in Gu's pocket?"
"It may not be poison!" Pei Ziyun took a pill, opened it, licked it, tasted it carefully, and said, "I know some medical skills - judging from the properties of this medicine, it seems to be a pill for nourishing yin and strengthening yang."
The prince's face turned darker after hearing this. This is an aphrodisiac. The prince entered the palace with an aphrodisiac at the time when it was rumored that he had an affair with Concubine Jin. What do people think
At the moment, my lips were trembling and I couldn't speak.
"I'll go down if there's a turning point nearby!" Pei Ziyun sighed and stood up, saying: "This kind of trick is because you are not prepared. If you are prepared, you can't get to the prince!"
"We're close to the imperial city now. It's not appropriate for me to go in, so I'll say goodbye."
The prince glanced at Pei Ziyun and said slowly: "You have made a great contribution this time. I will remember it. Go down!"
After saying a few instructions, he turned a corner and disappeared. Seeing this person leave, the prince frowned, his face was so pale that there was no blood at all, and his eyes flashed with a faint light, and he felt resentful. Said: "Those sellers are good thieves!"
There was murderous intent in his tone.
