The sun was getting darker, the air was filled with a long mist, and the dark night sky pressed against the earth, there was no wind and no moon, and only a few cold cicadas chirped intermittently.

With his face covered, he led several black-clothed people with strong martial arts to a small attic not far away, with a grim expression. He found out today that in recent days, a force has unconsciously sprung up on the edge of the capital. Although this force is not large, it is growing rapidly. The emperor felt faintly uneasy, and in order to eliminate the disaster, he specially ordered himself to bring some people to explore the details, and if necessary, he could cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Ci Feng watched quietly for a long time, and when he saw that there was no movement in the attic, he made a gesture and approached cautiously.

They approached the attic door and listened with bated breath, but there was no sound inside, not even breathing. Ci Feng frowned and became more vigilant. He ordered two of his subordinates to push the door open, only to see that it was pitch black and empty.

Ci Feng was puzzled, and was about to order someone to hold the lamp, when he suddenly heard a shout, followed by the sound of weapons colliding and rubbing, and the sound of swords piercing into flesh. Ci Feng instantly understood, and they entered an ambush!

Ci Feng immediately took up his sword, and with his deep internal strength and keen hearing, he stabbed at the enemy's vital points, and every move was precise and powerful. In a short time, he lost the lives of more than a dozen people. Even though the enemy has great martial arts, he has suffered heavy casualties, but his side is not much better.

After less than a stick of incense, there were few people left on both sides, which was enough to see the fierceness of the fight. Although the rhetoric was still unscathed under the siege, it was a little tired.

Suddenly, the attic was brightly lit, and a woman floated in through the window, raising the sword in her hand and pointing straight at the wind, and the place she passed was filled with dark fragrance.

The woman was dressed in red, delicate and fiery, her face was covered with a light veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but she could only see her moving eyes like autumn pools, which were soul-stirring.

Ci Feng immediately raised his sword to parry, but he was already a little tired, and the woman was strong in martial arts, so she gradually became at a disadvantage.

The woman's attack became more and more violent, and when Ci Feng couldn't parry, Long Yichen came to the attic, and saw that Ci Feng was fighting with a woman, so he knocked the woman to the ground with one palm. The woman did not stop after getting up, but covered her wounds and withdrew with the rest of the men in black.

Ci Feng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saluted Long Yichen, and said, "Master, subordinates ......"

Long Yichen motioned for him to get up and said, "Let's get out of here first, and then we'll talk about it when we go back." With that, he glanced to the top of the attic, his gaze deep. Then he quietly withdrew his gaze and strode out of the attic.

Above the attic, a man in white stood at the top. He stared coldly at Long Yichen's departing figure, and then picked up a white jade Xiao, put it to his lips, and played it faintly.

After a while, the woman in red knelt down behind him on one knee and said with a low chin: "Master, my subordinates should be damned, they didn't trap them......"

The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and the man in white said faintly: "It's not your fault, his arrival is really unexpected, with your martial arts, it's not surprising that you can't beat him." ”

The woman in red raised her head and asked, "Then what should we do next?" ”

The man in white took out a handkerchief from his arms, gently wiped the Yu Xiao in his hand, and said, "If we continue to be here, he will definitely launch a series of attacks." For now, he can only temporarily evacuate the capital and not attract his attention too much. ”

When the woman in red heard this, she felt reasonable, but she was puzzled: "Evacuate the capital, it will be difficult for us to do it, wouldn't it be even more difficult to do it?" Isn't the master's plan ......?"

The man in white hooked his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, isn't there still King Xuan, I believe he will not let us down." ”

The woman in red smiled and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

In the Yunyi Pavilion.

Xue Wanqing tugged at her dress and paced around the house. Qiaoyun on the side couldn't look at it, and said to Xue Wanqing; "Oh miss, don't walk around anymore, it's so late, go to bed first."

Xue Wanqing walked over, sat beside Qiaoyun, raised her eyebrows and said, "It's so late, the emperor hasn't returned yet, is something wrong!" She went to look for him three times today, but the eunuchs beside him said that he was not there, that he had gone out on important business, and she returned. But it's been so long, he hasn't come back yet, and the soup he boiled for himself has been cold twice, how can he not worry.

"The emperor will be fine." Qiao Yun took a piece of pastry from the plate on the table to eat, and said vaguely, "The emperor's martial arts are such as this high, in this world, who can help him!" Qiaoyun swallowed the pastry in her mouth, and said with a mysterious smile: "I'm afraid only you can do anything about the emperor, Miss." ”

When Xue Wanqing heard this, her face flushed slightly, and she said angrily: "Just your nonsense!" ”

At this time, Qiao Lan walked in, she looked at Xue Wanqing's anxious face, and said, "Beauty, let the slave maid go to see if the emperor has returned, and when the emperor comes back, the slave and maid will come back and tell you how well?" ”

Hearing this, Xue Wanqing's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Then you can go quickly." ”

After Qiao Lan left Yunyi Pavilion, Xue Wanqing felt a lot more at ease, and she was no longer as impatient as Fang Cai. She took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Qiaoyun, what about the medicine that my father gave me before?"

Qiaoyun turned around, took out two packets of medicine from a delicate small box, and handed them to Xue Wanqing.

Xue Wanqing glanced at it lightly and said, "Throw it away." "In any case, she will not hurt her man in order to help King Xuan, whom she has never met.

"No."

"Beauty, beauty!" At this moment, Qiao Lan ran in panting, and while stroking her chest, she said, "Beauty, beauty, the emperor is back, back......"

Xue Wanqing was overjoyed in her heart, she couldn't even take care of Qiaolan and Qiaoyun, and hurriedly left Yunyi Pavilion and went to Qianning Palace. Qiao Yun was about to chase after him, but was pulled by Qiao Lan: "Let the beauty go, let's not follow." ”

Qiao Yun frowned, and said with a pout: "Why does the young lady run to the emperor all day long, I am tired to watch." ”

Qiao Lan chuckled and said: "The beauty and the emperor are like glue, and they don't want to be separated for a moment, how can you understand this little girl!" ”
