That night, there was chaos in the palace, and the guards of the Janissary Army shouted "Catch the assassins" and made a noise all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Rui rushed into Wude Hall with a team of Flying Tiger Banner soldiers.

If Xiao Rui and Zifeng fought alone, it would be a personal grudge, and when he appeared in the name of the Flying Tiger Banner, he did not represent him personally, but the forbidden army.

Zi Feng glanced at the hundreds of Flying Tiger Banner soldiers wearing armor and holding swords in front of him, hugged his fist at Xiao Rui, and asked:

"Dare to ask General Xiao, what is your business to come to my Wude Hall today?"

Xiao Rui pressed the hilt of his sword, his eyes were blazing, and he said loudly: "Yesterday, two assassins were found in the palace, and the assassins fled the palace all the way, according to the people who tracked them, these two escaped into your Wude Hall, so Xiao and his brothers came to search for the assassins. ”

Zifeng said in a cold voice: "The Wude Hall was set up by His Royal Highness the Prince, you said that the assassin hid in the Wude Hall, don't you want to say that this assassin was instructed by the prince?" ”

Xiao Ruiyang said, "Brothers, this is what the hall master of Wude Hall said, have you all heard it?" ”

"I heard, I heard, I heard!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

Zi Feng sneered: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, I don't bother to argue with you, but it is not so easy to search my Martial Arts Hall." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, about 200 warriors with swords rushed out from the corridors on both sides of Hulala, surrounded Xiao Rui and others, and immediately their ears were full of swords out of their sheaths, and they shouted loudly, and the two sides looked at each other angrily, and their swords were tense.

Xiao Rui said in a deep voice: "Zifeng, you have to find out, who are you talking to, we are the Flying Tiger Banner, responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor and the capital, since there are assassins in the palace, let alone your Wude Hall, it is the ministers and eunuchs of the whole capital, and I have found the Flying Tiger Banner." Although your martial arts hall is set up by the prince, it is not a legitimate army, and a group of Jianghu grass robbers actually dare to interfere with the action of my Flying Tiger Banner, is this going to be reversed?! ”

"Xiao Rui, you have such a big breath!" The crown prince Ji Cong slowly walked out of the study, his face pale.

As soon as he saw the prince, Xiao Rui hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Xiao Rui, the deputy commander of the Flying Tiger Banner of the last general, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

The prince's eyes swept over the crowd of swords, and he raised his voice: "Xiao Rui, are you here to smash the prince's field?" ”

Xiao Rui bowed and said: "Xiao Rui doesn't dare, it's just that the last general, as the deputy commander of the Flying Tiger Banner, must fulfill his duties, and it is the duty of the last general to arrest the assassins in the palace, and I hope His Royal Highness will understand." ”

The prince's eyes were sharp, and he said in a cold voice: "Let me ask you, I found the assassin last night, why did you come to Wude Hall to search early this morning?" ”

Xiao Rui was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied calmly: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, because the brothers who followed him found that the two gangsters had hidden in the Wude Hall, it was precisely considering that the Wude Hall was His Royal Highness the Prince's territory, so he didn't dare to act rashly, he thought that the gangsters were just temporarily hiding here, and they would definitely flee, so the brothers laid an ambush outside the hall, but they didn't come out until dawn, so they had to report the matter to General Qu Yan, and the general was worried that the assassin's behavior would be suspected of deliberately damaging the reputation of His Royal Highness the Prince, so he ordered the general to immediately arrest the assassin. It's good to return your Royal Highness the Crown Prince's innocence. ”

The prince sneered: "So, are you searching my Wudetang or are you thinking about this prince?" Does this prince still want to thank you? ”

Xiao Rui said: "There is no need to be grateful, the duty of the Flying Tiger Banner is to protect the emperor and maintain the reputation of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

He added: "Now that the assassin has not yet come out of the Wude Hall, His Royal Highness the Prince, your safety is now more important than anything else, with the Flying Tiger Banner, the last general guarantees that no villain can hurt you." ”

Speaking of this, he shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers of the Flying Tiger Banner, protect His Royal Highness the Prince, catch the assassins with this general, hand them over to the emperor, and they will be torn to pieces!" ”

Suddenly, more than ten soldiers rushed to the prince, surrounded him, back to back to form a circle, the sword peak outward, it looked as if he had faced thousands of troops, one by one loyally protecting the prince of the dynasty, and at this moment the prince's face was blue and purple, purple and white, and he no longer knew what color it was.

Xiao Rui led a group of horses and horses to stride towards the backyard passage, and Zifeng stepped forward and stopped in front of him.

Xiao Rui sneered: "Zifeng, you want to stop me?" Could it be that the assassin is really from your Wudetang? ”

"It's not!" Zi Feng's voice was cold.

"If not, what are you afraid of? Don't even dare to let us search? What is your intention? Xiao Rui is also pressing step by step, not giving an inch.

"Let him search!" There was a hint of suppressed anger in the prince's voice.

Xiao Rui pointed his thumb in the direction of the prince, but the corners of his mouth slashed upwards diagonally, and said, "Zifeng, do you hear me?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said let's search for it, but you came to get in the way? Or are you going to have a big fight with my Flying Tiger Banner soldiers? ”

Zi Feng's eyes stared coldly at Xiao Rui, whose face was full of provocation, and paused for a moment, before slowly taking a step aside, Xiao Rui sneered and said loudly:

"Brothers, search for me, don't let go of an inch!"

"Yes!" And all the soldiers went straight to every church and house.

When Xiao Rui passed by Zi Feng's side, he deliberately hit his arm with his shoulder, and the provocation was self-evident. He walked to the bottom of the porch and stood still, his eyes slanted at the purple wind, and said coldly:

"Purple Wind Hall Master, you and General Ben just wait here and see what they can find, let's wait and see!"

Zifeng's cold eyes swept to the prince's face, seeing that his fists were clenched at the moment, and the blue tendons on his forehead were in danger of bursting at any time, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and a scene that happened last night flashed in his mind......

It was late at night last night, Zi Feng was sitting in the study reading a book, and he heard a faint sound outside the door, his face changed, Huo Ran got up, his feet were as fast as lightning, and he quietly flashed behind the door, and suddenly opened the door.

I saw a person standing outside the door, looking at himself with a smile, when he saw this person, Zifeng was stunned, hurriedly pulled him in, and then quickly closed the door.

Happy actually sneaked into the martial arts hall.

Zifeng said in a deep voice: "You are so bold, you dare to come here?" There are samurai patrols on duty every twelve hours of the Takedeok Hall, how did you get in? Did you hurt them? ”

Happy whispered and mocked: "You samurai are really not good, if I want to kill them, I'm afraid you won't have a few left here, don't worry, I won't startle the snake." ”

Zifeng asked, "Is there something wrong with you coming over in such a hurry?" ”

Happy stretched out two fingers and said, "Two things, the first is a private matter, Liu Qingyun came to find the Wing King, she begged the Wing King not to kill the Heavenly Tiger." ”

"What did you say?"

Zi Feng couldn't believe it at all, it seemed that in his impression, Liu Qingyun would never bow his head to anyone, let alone beg the Wing King not to kill her father, and what he didn't expect was that Liu Qingyun would actually defend the Sky Shaking Tiger like this.

happily said: "Don't worry, it's understandable for people to do this for the sake of their father's life, it's just that I want to ask you, how did Jiang Yuyan die, do you know?" ”

Zifeng's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he said, "What are you asking for?" ”

happily said: "Just tell me what you know, and don't ask anything else." ”

Seeing his serious expression, Zi Feng paused for a moment and replied: "Although the Sky Shaking Tiger robbed Jiang Yuyan, he loved her very much, but his nature of messing with flowers and grass did not change, and he was discovered by Jiang Yuyan, and quarreled in anger, resulting in premature birth, and it was impossible to give birth to a child. ”

Happy and asked: "I heard that Jiang Yuyan's talisman is a golden wing, since she passed on all her internal strength to Liu Qingyun, why is Liu Qingyun still a white wing after many years of cultivation?" ”

Zi Feng said: "Liu Qingyun was only six or seven years old at the time, and she didn't practice martial arts, so she couldn't fully absorb Jiang Yuyan's skills, and Liu Qingyun never liked to practice martial arts, so she fished for three days and dried her nets for two days, so until today, she has only practiced white wings." ”

nodded happily, and said: "Then the second thing is the right thing, you must remember every word I say to you now, it is a matter of your life and death, there can be no sloppiness, there will be assassins in the palace tonight, and someone from your Wude Hall will come to search tomorrow, you don't have to embarrass them, just let them investigate, and then report what happened here to the prince immediately, you say so......"

After glad to explain this, he quickly left.

But he never thought that the plan did not change quickly, and there was no need for Zifeng to report to the prince at all, and the news of the assassins infiltrating the palace at night had already reached the ears of the prince, and he rushed to Wudetang early in the morning, so this scene fell firmly in the eyes of the prince.

……

There was a noisy noise and roaring in the backyard, and after a long time, a burst of footsteps rushed out of the backyard, and a soldier stood still in front of Xiao Rui and reported:

"General Xiao, both guys have been caught, and they are both hiding in the firewood room in the backyard."

Xiao Rui sneered, his eyes glanced at Zifeng again, and said, "Okay, it's really here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers escorted two men in black with dirty faces and walked out.

The crown prince was immediately shocked.

Xiao Rui said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I have to trouble you to come and take a look, can you recognize these two people?" Are they from your Wudetang? ”

The prince gritted his teeth and said: "There are thousands of people in Wudetang, where does this prince know so many people?" ”

Xiao Rui pretended to be shocked and said: "Oh, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the last general originally thought that Wudetang was just an ordinary place to practice martial arts, but I didn't expect that there were thousands of people, so wouldn't it be trivial for these hundred or so people?" Eventually, there will be no eyes. ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly turned white again.

Zi Feng stepped forward and looked at the two assassins carefully, shook his head, and said, "These two are not the brothers of Wude Hall. ”

Xiao Rui suddenly smiled "haha", hugged his fist at the prince, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what am I talking about, these two people either strayed into Wudetang to hide on the way to escape, or they had sinister intentions and wanted to blame the prince for the name of assassination. ”

After that, he waved his hand at the soldiers: "Let's go!" ”

……

After Xiao Rui and the others all withdrew from the Wude Hall, the prince's anger finally uncontrollably vented, and he swept all the tea cups on the table to the ground, "crackling" to the ground, his eyes were red, and his chest rose and fell violently......

"Purple Wind!" He yelled.

Zifeng stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince's eyes turned to him, his trembling face was almost hideous, and he said in a deep voice: "Those two people are indeed not our people?" ”

Purple Wind's forehead: "No." ”

"Then who is going to assassinate Prince Ben?!" The prince roared.

"Purple Wind will check."

"Check, what check? The ministers are impeaching the prince, and after this trouble, people all over the capital will think that I did it, and no one will believe it! ”

The prince's eyes flickered with confusion, he sat on the chair, his hands holding the armrests were trembling slightly, and he muttered: "No, no, if it goes on like this, my father will abolish me sooner or later." ”

He raised his hand and pointed at Zifeng: "Quick, quick, immediately send someone to call me Mo Jiechen, quick!" ”

Zifeng forehead: "Yes, Zifeng personally went to invite." He withdrew from the room.

The prince's eyes bumped back and forth in his sockets, and he said to himself in a panic: "It's too late, it's too late for my father to really abolish me......"
