In the middle of the night, Xue Lingfeng was still dressed in armor and rode a horse on a long street in the capital.

Since serving as the commander of the Tiger God Battalion, he has become accustomed to still riding horses on the streets before his son, as the Tiger God Battalion of the garrison of Kyoto City, the position of the commander of the Tiger God Battalion is of course extraordinary, controlling all the gates of Kyoto, no matter what time it is, Xue Lingfeng's position is an extremely eye-catching chair.

However, Xue Lingfeng has always been very low-key.

Not only low-key, but also calm.

If Ximen Wuxian commanded the Shenhou Mansion and almost did not have any dealings with the officials of the court on weekdays, then among the hundreds of officials in the entire capital, the second person known as the lonely minister was Xue Lingfeng.

Xue Lingfeng's background is naturally not weak, his father was also a local military general, when Emperor Taizu pacified the south, the Xue family was subordinated to Dachu, and then the Xue family became the general of the old marquis in brocade, Xue Lingfeng was young, and he had already made a lot of contributions on the battlefield.

Xue Lingfeng was calm, the first emperor wanted to choose a person to guard the capital, and was recommended by the old marquis, and after many assessments, Xue Lingfeng was finally entrusted with an important task by the emperor.

But after Xue Lingfeng became the commander of the Tiger God Battalion, he almost never had a personal relationship with any official in the court, even if it was the Qi family in brocade clothes, Xue Lingfeng never waited for the gate of the Qi family, this is of course an outlier, but no one can deny that Xue Lingfeng is indeed the most suitable general to garrison the capital.

Xue Lingfeng has absolute loyalty to Da Chu, he went into battle at a young age, and his achievements on the battlefield are not few, and he has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and his martial arts are also among the best among the generals in the capital.

Over the years, the Tiger God Battalion has faithfully fulfilled their duty to garrison the capital, and Xue Lingfeng is also in awe of the officials and officers of the DPRK and China.

Every day Xue Lingfeng will go to check in person after the city gate is closed, no one can know which gate he will appear in, but once he finds that there are any slackness of the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, he will personally pick up his horse whip and whip it, and after the whipping, he will order the carrying officers and soldiers to be expelled from the army, for a soldier, dying on the battlefield is the highest honor, and being expelled for dereliction of duty is a lifelong shame, and the guards of the gates of the capital have always kept their eyes open and dare not have the slightest negligence.

When they returned to the palace from the city gate, they were all after midnight.

The whole capital was already silent, Xue Lingfeng rode on the street, followed by four attendants, of course these four attendants are all good hands, every night, the four of them follow Xue Commander through the familiar streets, they are used to it, maybe this law makes them almost numb, or at the end of the day, a few people are indeed a little tired, so they don't notice the figures that appear behind them at all.

But Xue Lingfeng won't.

Xue Lingfeng would never let his guard down, of course he knew that his position was too important, and not everyone wanted to see him sit in this seat all the time.

Most importantly, some strange changes have taken place recently, which has made him more alert every day.

The change of the Black Scale Battalion being incorporated into the Black Knife Battalion is already very surprising, a while ago, the Yulin Battalion of the Imperial City suddenly had three hundred people leaving Beijing, and when they came back, it seemed that there were many fewer people, and the Yulin Battalion was under Xue Lingfeng's nose when they entered and exited the capital, and he naturally knew all about these situations.

Naturally, Yulin Camp has never left the capital, but every time it leaves Beijing, it is to protect His Majesty the Emperor.

But only this time the Yulin Battalion was personally led by Chi Fengdian to leave Beijing with hundreds of elite soldiers, and it was not to protect the emperor, which of course would arouse Xue Lingfeng's vigilance.

Everything seems to be calm in the capital, except for these few things that are almost not paid attention to by the common people, there is nothing big happening, but Xue Lingfeng's keen sense of smell makes him vigilant, he is the supreme general of the garrison capital, and any change in the capital will make him vigilant.

There was a figure behind the side, of course Xue Lingfeng had noticed it, but he remained silent, and walked to the middle of the long street with a few of his subordinates, and walked into the alley on the side, and the four entourages under his hand were suddenly a little surprised, they were very familiar with the road, and they didn't understand why the commander wanted to go to the alley, but this kind of surprise only lasted for a blink of an eye, and they immediately became alert, after all, they were the attendants personally selected by Xue Lingfeng, these people were not only not weak, but also reacted quickly, and quickly followed Xue Lingfeng, At the same time, the saber at his waist had been drawn.

Just as Xue Lingfeng arrived at the entrance of the alley and was about to enter the alley, a figure fell from the sky, but it was ambushed on the roof, volleying down, holding a knife in both hands, and the knife slashed down from the wind, straight to the top of Xue Lingfeng's head.

The knife is piercing, not only unexpected, but also fast and hateful.

Xue Lingfeng's eyes were cold, and when the sword wind hit, he knew that the other party's skills were really not weak, at least in terms of sword skills, he did have extremely extraordinary ability.

Xue Lingfeng, who was riding on horseback, only slightly on the side of his body, just let go of this sharp and ruthless knife, between the lightning and flint, a fierce fist had torn the air and hit the man's chest hard, the sound of rib breaking was clearly audible, the man was actually sent back to the sky by a domineering force, and the swordsman who was in mid-air, with his face covered and only his eyes exposed, showed an incredible look in his eyes, he knew that Xue Lingfeng was not a simple character, but obviously did not expect Xue Lingfeng to have such a domineering fist.

The man's body was in mid-air, and before he had time to taste too much the domineering power of the Tiger God Battalion's dominant fist, the knife flashed, and at the moment when Xue Lingfeng punched, his other hand had already drawn the knife, and when the man flew up, Xue Lingfeng had already cut off the man's head.

For soldiers, against the enemy, there is no sympathy and pity, between the fight, there are only two results, you die, or I die!

When Xue Lingfeng has the opportunity to understand the enemy's life, he will never hesitate at all, and giving the enemy any chance may be a harm to himself.

When the swordsman's head flew up, there were a few "poofs", and the two attendants who followed Xue Lingfeng had already been shot through the neck by crossbow arrows flying from behind, and the crossbow arrows were submerged through the back of the neck and penetrated through the neck, and the tips of the arrows were leaking out of the throat with blood.

The other party is not only good at arrows, but also ruthless.

Xue Lingfeng said in a deep voice: "Be careful! As soon as the words fell, the sound of breaking wind rose again, from the dark alley in front of him, there were crossbow arrows shooting head-on again, Xue Lingfeng did not swing his knife to block, he shouted lowly, his feet kicked violently on the stirrups, and the whole person soared into the sky, and then heard the neighing of the horse, and the good horse that had accompanied him for many years had been shot by crossbow arrows, and a person stood up, as if he wanted to make the last struggle, and then "bang", he fell heavily on the stone slab on the street, and the stone slab on the ground was cracked.

When Xue Lingfeng landed on the stone slab and looked at the horses lying in a pool of blood, more than a dozen figures had already emerged like ghosts around him.

These people were all dressed in black and masked, some were holding arrows and crossbows, and some were holding big knives, and in just an instant, all Xue Lingfeng's retreats had been sealed.

Xue Lingfeng's expression was calm, and he coldly swept over the group of assassins, even the two attendants who were still alive under his hands did not have fear on their faces, but showed a fierce look, since they had fallen into a desperate situation, they should make a last stand.

"Kill!"

In the crowd, one person simply gave an order, and the assassins around him rushed out without hesitation and surrounded Xue Lingfeng and the others.

Xue Lingfeng held the big knife in his hand, let out a low shout, and slashed at the person who rushed to the front, and the two people around him also shouted and rushed forward with a knife.

There was no doubt that the group of Assassins was clearly well-trained and well-planned.

This is the most secluded street that Xue Lingfeng passed along the way, even if there are officers and soldiers patrolling the capital at night, but the patrol time must be first and last, this group of assassins chose to launch an assassination in this location, of course, because this street is sparsely populated, of course, it is also considering the reinforcements of the Tiger God Battalion.

Launching an attack at this time, the Assassins naturally calculated that it was impossible for reinforcements to arrive in a short time, at least in their opinion, the operation was over before the patrol guards noticed the movement on this side and organized their men to support this side.

Although the two attendants under him had courage, but in the face of this group of well-planned assassins, they instantly became one enemy and three, and it didn't take too much time at all, these assassins were sharp and decisive, and when Xue Lingfeng cut off the neck of an assassin with a knife, the two attendants had already fallen in a pool of blood.

Xue Lingfeng was like a fierce tiger, but he was not facing a flock of sheep, but a pack of fierce wolves.

Although the tiger bit a few wolves, he was soon slashed twice, and he was drenched in blood, but at this time, Xue Lingfeng still seemed unusually calm, although he was surrounded by more than a dozen people, but the attack and defense were orderly, but this group of assassins was really experienced, although Xue Lingfeng was brave, he was never able to break out of the encirclement.

"Poof!"

Xue Lingfeng found the right opportunity, and slashed at the neck of an assassin with another knife, blood gushing out, and at this moment, he heard a voice behind him: "Look at the move!" A short and fat man in black has flashed behind Xue Lingfeng like a ghost, Xue Lingfeng turned around suddenly, and before he could make a move, the man in black slapped out with a palm, which had already hit Xue Lingfeng's chest, although Xue Lingfeng was tall and big, but this palm was really domineering, and the sturdy body had flown straight out, and then fell heavily to the ground, "poof", spurting out a mouthful of blood.

There was an assassin on the side who wanted to take the opportunity to step forward, but the man in black had already said in a deep voice: "I'll do it myself." Slowly walking towards Xue Lingfeng, Xue Lingfeng struggled twice on the ground, struggled to stand up, staggered, turned around and ran.
