Chapter XV: Assault
It was already completely dark.
Outside the various restaurants in the capital, they also began to be lively, and all kinds of people kept coming and going.
But tonight, the largest proportion is still the people who came to the capital to participate in the examination.
Whether they are on the list or in the exam, they all gather in groups of various restaurants in the capital.
Restaurants in Kyoto have also taken advantage of this opportunity to make a name for themselves.
In this evening, under the pretext of celebrating the examination, various discounts will be given to everyone who comes to eat.
……
Because of some wine, Chen Yu, who was a little drunk at this time, walked slowly on the way back to the small courtyard he rented after separating from Jiang Hongzhuo.
The little white fox was still used by Chen Yu as a scarf and wrapped around Chen Yu's neck.
As he passed around a corner, a man in a black leotard and a black scarf suddenly burst out of the corner next to him.
The man in black didn't say a word, and directly punched Chen Yu in the head.
Because of drinking, Chen Yu's reaction was a little sluggish.
But after concentrating, that bit of drunkenness quickly disappeared.
Before the man in black could drop his fist, he dodged the wind-like punch sideways and took a few steps back to the side.
At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the little white fox from his shoulder, and threw it to the wall next to him.
Chen Yu looked at the man in black with some solemn eyes, because he had also fought with the mid-day teacher in the martial arts hall.
With the speed of the punch just now, Chen Yu found that the opponent's strength was at least in the middle of the day after tomorrow, and it was very likely to be in the late stage of the day after tomorrow.
After Chen Yu dodged the attack of the man in black.
The black-robed man seemed to turn his head to look at Chen Yu in disbelief, and the whole person paused.
Faced with this gap, Chen Yu naturally would not let go, and clenched his palms into fists and attacked the chest of the man in black.
For a while, in the face of Chen Yu, who had taken the lead, the man in black was a little overwhelmed.
After the two exchanged dozens of moves, Chen Yu punched the man in black in the back.
The man in black staggered a few steps forward, and at the same time took this opportunity to distance himself from Chen Yu.
A few traces of blood spilled from the corners of the black-clothed man's mouth, staining the black mask a little red.
The two confronted each other for a while, and the man in black hesitated, and after taking a deep look at Chen Yu, he seemed to have chosen to give up.
One jumped directly onto the roof next to him, and disappeared from Chen Yu's sight in a few jumps.
Chen Yu looked at the back of the man in black, and he didn't mean to chase at all.
Through these dozens of moves, Chen Yu knew that the other party's realm was obviously higher than him, probably at the level of the late day after tomorrow.
It's not that Chen Yu is boasting, now he has a very clear understanding of his talent, and he definitely belongs to the top ranks.
If it is replaced by another acquired mid-day, maybe within a few moves, the man in black will be able to capture the opponent.
But being able to parry the other party does not mean that Chen Yu can completely defeat the other party, and the two are tied at most.
The reason why Chen Yu was able to repel the man in black just now was because the other party had no intention of attacking Chen Yu at all.
……
Holding the little white fox that jumped down from the side, Chen Yu had some doubts in his heart at this time, he had never had a grudge against anyone in this world.
Why did anyone attack him?
What made Chen Yu even more puzzled was that the other party didn't seem to really want to hurt him, and made moves to avoid the key points.
Inexplicably, Chen Yu felt that the water was very deep.
You must know that this is the capital, and some people dare to use force on the street, which is completely ignorant of the Liang court.
Although the man in black retreated, Chen Yu was still a little uneasy in his heart.
It's not that I'm worried that my life and safety will be threatened, but I can't do it, just return to Daming directly.
The main reason is that Chen Yu came to this world to learn martial arts with peace of mind.
If you have an enmity with an inexplicable big force without knowing it, and the other party comes to look for trouble twice in three days, it will not be good.
And then there's ...... You must bring a sword next time, Chen Yu thought silently in his heart.
……
The other side.
After leaving, the man in black appeared in a hidden courtyard in Kyoto.
Walking outside the house with the lights still on, the man in black knocked on the door.
"Come in."
When the door opened, you could see a middle-aged man practicing calligraphy inside.
"Your Excellency." The man in black knelt on one knee and ripped the black scarf off his face, revealing a slightly pale face with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
After seeing the state of the man in black, the middle-aged man put down the brush in his hand, frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Didn't you just let you catch Chen Yu?" How did it get like this? And what about Chen Yu? ”
Speaking of the middle-aged man in the back, the tone was already a little heavy.
"My lord, the mission has failed." The man in black bowed his head and replied.
Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man asked, "Tell me, why did you fail?" Did you meet someone from the Yamen? Or is it someone from the Xuanwu Division? Or something else? ”
The man in black said cautiously, "That's not true, I know that their patrol points and time have been evaded?" ”
"Why is that? Don't tell me you were beaten by Chen Yu? ”
"Your Excellency guessed right."
“……”
The middle-aged man asked with some interest, "Tell me about it." ”
"That Chen Yu's strength should be in the middle of the day after tomorrow, because his subordinates couldn't hurt him, they were repelled by the other party under the restraint of their hands."
The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and the man in black felt a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Okay, okay."
A cold sweat broke out behind the man in black, and he cautiously glanced up at the middle-aged man.
"Oh, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Chen Yu, I'm happy for my big beam, for Your Majesty to have another pillar of talent."
The man in black, "......" He actually wanted to say that there were no outsiders here, and His Majesty did not have a good ear.
"Chen Yu, oh, it's Chen Gongzi, I didn't expect Chen Gongzi to not only have outstanding knowledge, but also be so talented in martial arts."
"Not only can you cultivate to reach the middle stage of the day after tomorrow at this age, but you can also repel you, who are considered good players in the late stage of the day after tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly thought of something and asked the man in black, "By the way, you didn't hurt Chen Gongzi, right?" ”
Men in Black, "??? ”
“…… No, Chen Gongzi was unscathed, and it can only be said that he has moved his muscles and bones. ”
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." ”
"Also, after Chen Gongzi joins the imperial court and becomes our colleague, we will take the time to apologize to Chen Gongzi."
Men in Black, "??? ”
“…… Be. ”
After thinking for a while, the man in black asked the middle-aged man, "Then sir, ...... this task?"
"The mission is the mission, or you are a failure, but this is also the reason why I gave you insufficient information, so I can give you a chance to make up for it?"
After thinking for a moment, the middle-aged man said, "Just change the target to the fourth one called ......."
"Li Xuebin."
"Yes, let's replace it with this Li Xuebin."
……
At this time, Li Xuebin, who was still drinking with a few friends, suddenly sneezed.
The person next to him coaxed, "Haha, it seems that the girl from which family misses you?" ”
……
