At that moment, Xiao Chongguang felt as if his chest had been hit by a boulder of several catties, and flew backwards, and at the same time, a mouthful of blood vomited out of his mouth, and finally turned over and fell into the river.

"Brother Xiao!"

"Brother Xiao!"

"Xiao Tou'er!"

Lu Yunsheng and the others were shocked when they saw this, and shouted loudly, Yunsheng even ignored his injuries and jumped into the river, Yan Lingfeng also followed, they had all trained in water, and they also played freely in the river, the two grabbed Xiao Chongguang left and right, and dragged him onto the boat.

Xiao Chongguang trembled, and Ling Feng took off his coat and wrapped it tightly around Sogo's body.

Yun Sheng grabbed his hand to check the pulse, and his face suddenly changed: "It's not good!" The poisonous gas rushed through the meridians and began to spread! Lingfeng, hurry! Spot the acupuncture point on his right shoulder blade. ”

"Good!"

Yan Lingfeng nodded, stretched out his middle and index fingers, and then rose together, pointing at the blood vessels in his right shoulder to block the poisonous gas.

"I thought I had a lot of ability, but I didn't expect it to be just that."

Hua Mantian said lightly with an expressionless face, she was dressed in white and snowy, as beautiful as a celestial, revealing a cold temperament.

She stood on the top of the canopy, the cold wind blowing, blowing her sleeves, floating like a fairy from the Moon Palace to the mortal dust.

"Sure enough, there are basically no high-ranking people in the court, and even if there is, it won't be just a small guard." Hua Mantian's tone is still arrogant, which is in line with her expression of refusing to be thousands of miles away.

"You ······" Lu Yunsheng had a fierce look on his face, gritting his teeth and staring at the sky.

Hua Mantian said with a smile: "You don't need to look at me with this expression, if you are not convinced, take out your skills to compete, this young master is here waiting to be taught." ”

A fire burst out of Yunsheng's heart, and he was about to fight, when a hand suddenly grabbed his clothes, Yunsheng looked back, only to see that it was Yan Lingfeng who stopped him, he stared at Yunsheng's eyes and shook his head. Yunsheng struggled in his heart and could only give up.

"I, I······ I haven't thrown in the towel yet······"

Xiao Chongguang's eyes were half-opened, struggling to get up, but Yunsheng and Ling Feng hurriedly put Sogo's arm on his back and helped him up.

Hua Mantian smiled lightly: "I admire your courage, but look at your current appearance, you have to rely on others to stand up, how can you fight me?" ”

Before the words fell, she "swished", swept to the stern of the boat, pulled out the sword of Nianqiu, and then returned to the canopy, holding the sword obliquely, and said: "However, even if you are injured, I will still not be soft, if you have to seek death, I will work hard to give you a ride." ”

"Forget it! Xiao Weichang! ”

A crisp voice sounded, and everyone looked at it, only to see Fang Yingchun jumping down, Li Nianqiu was not at ease, and followed closely behind, and jumped on the boat with Yingchun.

Fang Yingchun stopped in front of Sogo and said, "Xiao Weichang, I believe in you, you are really a good person, I believe that Sun Ming will not be harmed by you." ”

"Miss Fang, I'm ······"

"Xiao Weichang, I was originally from the Gate of the Pomegranate Palace, and if I violated the door rules, I should be punished," Sogo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Fang Yingchun with a smile, "Thank you for coming forward to save me, but this is my own problem, I really can't bear to watch you hurt for me." ”

After speaking, she turned to look at Hua Mantian, knelt down and pleaded: "Young Palace Master, Yingchun is willing to be punished, I don't want to affect others, I really have only one side relationship with Xiao Weichang, and there is no personal affection mixed with it, he took action for me, but he took pity on me, and hoped that the Young Palace Master would not take his life." ”

"You get up," Hua Mantian's voice still didn't have any feelings, "Don't worry, I won't kill people in front of so many people, my reputation of the Pomegranate Palace can't be ruined because of this incident, and I won't let the Pomegranate Palace go against the court in order to kill a captain." ”

"Young Palace Master Xie."

Fang Yingchun kowtowed three times to the sky before slowly getting up.

"Don't, don't go······ I can fight again······" Xiao Chongguang shouted at Fang Yingchun vaguely.

Yingchun didn't answer, she jumped onto the canopy and stood on the left side of the sky, while Li Nianqiu stood on the right.

She turned her gaze to Xiao Chongguang again, only to see that Sogo's eyes were full of worry, pursed his lips, and shook his head desperately at herself.

Fang Yingchun said with a smile: "Captain Xiao, I only hope that you will find out the real murderers, kill them, and avenge Sun Ming, in this way, I will also be blind under Jiuquan." ”

"I, I, promise you." Xiao Chongguang nodded vigorously, listening carefully to his voice, he was still very weak.

"Thank you." Yingchun solemnly bowed to Sogo.

"That's it," Hua Mantian said loudly, her eyes glancing at Sogo, "Captain Xiao, I know you are unwilling, because this is not your full strength, if you are not convinced, you can come to the Pomegranate Palace to find me at any time." There will be a period later, goodbye to the rivers and lakes. ”

After that, Hua Mantian inserted the saber back into Li Nianqiu's scabbard, grabbed Yingchun and Nianqiu with both hands respectively, and finally jumped up, like wings on the ribs, stepped into the air, and disappeared on the other side of the tavern.

"Wow!"

When the people watching the battle around saw this, they were all stunned and screamed in unison, and some even called them "immortals" directly.

"Could this be the floating flower body method of the Pomegranate Flower Palace stepping on the snow without a trace?" Lu Yunsheng exclaimed.

He has also seen a lot of wonderful body techniques, but the Pomegranate Palace is rarely in the world, so many strange martial arts in their palace are only passed on by word of mouth, and few people have seen them.

Watching the three of them leave, Xiao Chongguang's strength instantly relaxed, his eyes turned black, and he fainted.

"Brother Xiao!"

Eastern Capital, East City, Yihefang, Prime Minister's Mansion, Sichu

Liang Ziqing paced back and forth in the inner hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He didn't know if his decision was right or wrong.

This morning, the Tiwei Mansion sent people to the mansion, hoping that he could come forward and persuade the Holy Admiral to transfer the patrol battalion back to the Eastern Capital.

At that time, Liang Ziqing was completely stunned after hearing this.

Because, according to his analysis, Xiao Chongguang may be the mastermind behind all this, if he wants to achieve the plan of revenge for the sect, then everything in the Eastern Capital must be in his hands at all times.

If the patrol battalion is repatriated, the Tiwei Mansion will first lose the authority to inspect and defend the eastern capital. Secondly, if the patrol battalion obtains the above-mentioned powers, every move of the guards will be under the eyes of the patrol battalion, and if there is any abnormal movement, they will be the first to know. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Xiao Chongguang to complete his revenge plan.

So what is his purpose?

Liang Ziqing hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed, because he wanted to see what Xiao Chongguang would do next, and at the same time, if he responded quickly, he could also make Xiao Chongguang not suspicious of himself.

In Ziqing's heart, the worst situation is that the patrol battalion is also a henchman secretly cultivated by Xiao Chongguang, and plots to rebel.

But he was not afraid of this situation, half of the 12 guards in the Eastern Capital were his henchmen of Liang Ziqing, if there was a change in the Beijing division, he would immediately let the 12 guards do a good job of defense.

"Didn't I wronged him?"

Liang Ziqing is very worried, of course, this worry has begun to germinate since Liu Yuanzhen's assassination, but Ziqing's heart told himself that what really disturbed him was not these assassination cases, but always felt that something big would happen.

Because he didn't have a definite goal, he could only point the finger at the nightmare that had haunted him for five years, but it still couldn't make him a little calm, and he always felt too far-fetched.

There is another thing that worries Ziqing, that is, the saint ordered himself to ask Xiao Chong to enter the palace on the bright day, wanting to meet him secretly. This made him a little frightened, because he didn't want to contact Xiao Chongguang in this special period.

Liang Ziqing slowly walked out of the inner hall, came to the hall, and sat on the main seat in contemplation.

At this time, a servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly came, knelt down with his hands crossed to Ziqing, and said, "Xiangye, just now the Cao guard came back with a dead body, and now it will stop outside his chamber." ”

Liang Ziqing frowned and said, "What's the matter?" It's almost the New Year, why bring such an unlucky thing home? Do you know who died? Could it be Zixiao's friend? ”

The servant said: "The villain doesn't know this, and Cao Guard didn't say it." However, the villain saw that the corpse was wearing a night suit, like a thief or a thief. ”

"Nightwear?"

Ziqing was very curious in her heart, and said: "You go and call Cao Zixiao to me, and I will ask him personally." ”

As soon as the Cao guards put down the corpse and sent the people who carried them, they hurried out, otherwise the little ones would not dare to look at the dead man carefully. The guy who quietly followed said that Cao Escort was running to the coffin. The servant said.

Liang Ziqing said: "Why don't I know when he goes out?" ”

The servant said: "Because Xiangye, you entered the inner hall as soon as you came back, and when Cao Escort left, he didn't say a word, so he ······."

"This stinky boy is getting more and more arrogant," Liang Ziqing said angrily, "I didn't even come to say hello when I went out, wait for him to come back, and see how I punish him!" ”

Dongdu Dongshi Jingkangfang Tiweifu Sichu

Lu Yunsheng rode a horse, carried Xiao Chongguang on his back, and took a group of people back to Tiwei Mansion.

The other people left behind in the mansion were stunned when they saw this scene, Xiao Tou'er, who was usually dignified, was wet, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant, paralyzed on Lu Yunsheng's back, trembling constantly, like a seriously ill patient with an incurable disease.

"Ji Yun! Brother Ji! Come out of here! ”

Yunsheng was sweating profusely with Sogo on his back, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the compound.

"Lu Tou'er, Xiao Tou'er, what's wrong with him?"

The rest of the unsuspecting guards gathered around and asked eagerly.

Yunsheng didn't have time to pay attention to them, just looked around and shouted, looking for Ji Yun.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Brother Lu, what's going on? ”

Ji Yun and Guo Ting hurriedly ran out of the east wing room together and rushed to Yunsheng's side.

"Hurry up and help me take a look at Brother Xiao's injuries."

Lu Yunsheng said very urgently, slowly putting Xiao Chongguang down as he spoke, Ji Yun and Guo Ting stepped forward to take over, carried Xiao Chongguang into the infirmary on the west side of Tiwei Mansion, and helped him lie on the hospital bed.

Ji Yun sat on the edge of the bed to check his pulse.

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong?" Guo Ting asked in surprise.

Yunsheng, who came over, said: "Brother Xiao was fighting against people in the tavern just now, but I hated that the thief woman took advantage of the unpreparedness and fired a poisonous hidden weapon to slander Brother Xiao. ”

"What a mess." Ji Yun frowned, and hurriedly pierced the wound of Sogo with the prepared needle, and quickly pulled it out, only to see that the tip of the needle was already blackened, with a little bruise.

"It's Ice Toad Poison!" Ji Yun was shocked, "Hidden weapon······ Pomegranate Palace? You've met someone from the Pomegranate Palace! ”

Lu Yunsheng nodded and said, "Yes, that thief woman is the young palace master of the Pomegranate Flower Palace.
