Xu Anping and Luo Jingchun rode fast horses respectively, and after two days of hurrying, they came to Guangxu City in a low-key manner.

Although the Luo family has no property in Guangxu City, when they set the action plan before, they bought a small mansion in a relatively remote location in the city for Xu Anping and his wife to settle down temporarily.

At this time, Xu Anping and Luo Jingchun pretended to be a pair of grandchildren and lived in the house in a low-key manner.

After arriving in Guangxu City, the two only need to cultivate with peace of mind and wait for instructions.

……

The other side.

Under the huge network of contacts accumulated by the Luo family for thousands of years, with Guangxu City as the center, an inconspicuous undercurrent is quietly surging.

The city guards of Guangxu City, the government army of the Qingyang Palace, the worshippers, the senior guards and stewards, etc., under the intervention of a seemingly unrelated force, successively or far away from the palace, or neglected to take precautions.

Until one day, it seemed that all kinds of coincidences had come together, and all the top powerhouses related to the Qingyang King had left the Qingyang King at the same time for various reasons.

It was this afternoon.

Xu Anping and the others received an order to act.

"Let's go!"

The two glanced at each other, still dressed as grandchildren, and according to the instructions of the intelligence, they came to the outside of the Qingyang Palace.

At this time, there was a young man from the Luo family waiting not far away, and when he saw the two of them coming, he didn't dare to salute, but just nodded slightly, and let them change into the clothes of the miscellaneous servants of the Qingyang Palace.

Then, a group of three people pushed a car into the Qingyang Palace, and the road was almost unimpeded, and even the guards who checked their identities seemed to be bought, just casually glanced at them and let them go deep into the palace.

After walking around the palace for a while, the three of them stopped in a no-man's corner of the palace.

"King Qingyang is usually in the courtyard over there, and after entering, the room facing the courtyard gate is, if something goes out, Nei should remind me, but there should be no reminder just now, presumably still inside."

"Be careful, you two, I must leave first, and you will have to evacuate by yourself later."

After speaking, the young man lowered his voice and whispered a few words beside the two, and hurriedly pushed the car away.

"I'm over."

Xu Anping glanced at Luo Jingchun, nodded to the other party, hid behind him with the long sword he pulled out of the car, and then turned around and strode in the direction of the courtyard on the left.

The two guards at the gate of the courtyard immediately looked over, and one of them let out a low shout:

"What for? Idlers are not allowed to come near here! ”

Xu Anping's footsteps did not stop at all, and he still strode over.

The two guards were immediately alert.

At this time, Xu Anping had already approached within four feet of them, and his feet suddenly moved, turning into a black shadow and shooting out.

……

Inside the study.

Duan Xinghe, the king of Qingyang, was looking at a few secret letters on the desk, these letters recorded the major events that happened in the entire Qingyang Prefecture, the dynamics of the major forces, and the information of the powerful people who became famous in various places.

Suddenly.

"Enemy ......"

A panicked and hurried cry rang out, but only had time to utter a syllable, and the next moment it stopped abruptly.

"Huh?!"

Duan Xinghe's face changed, and he immediately put down the letter in his hand, came to the wall and picked up a long sword with a delicate and gorgeous shape.

Although he is confident in his own strength and does not feel that anyone can threaten him, he has been used to doing his best in the first place in the face of unexpected situations.

And the next moment he picked up the long sword, the door of the study was pushed open, and a tall figure appeared at the gate.

It was a young man dressed in gray burlap, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a dashing and indifferent temperament, and a calm face, standing at the door with a blood-dripping long sword, as if waiting for him to go out to fight.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Duan Xinghe's mind, and he subconsciously thought of a name, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Anping? ”

Breaking into the palace, it is impossible not to know his identity and strength, and the other party is so old, and he dares to behave so calmly and indifferently in front of him, he must have a certain amount of confidence, except for Xu Anping, he almost does not think about second people.

In addition, since the other party can appear here with a big grin, there must be a secret cooperation in the palace.

However, apart from anger, Duan Xinghe didn't have the slightest nervousness or panic at all, because he didn't hear the footsteps or breathing of other people outside.

This shows that Xu Anping is the only one outside.

Looking at the entire Qingyang Prefecture, no matter who it is, if he wants to fight him one-on-one, he has no possibility of being afraid.

What's more, it's just a Xu Anping?

"Ridiculous!"

"Think that if you create a one-on-one opportunity, you can do me a disadvantage? What ignorance! ”

Before Xu Anping could answer, Duan Xinghe sneered and walked out step by step.

Xu Anping slowly retreated.

The two tacitly came to the courtyard outside the study, standing opposite each other about ten meters apart, and the solemn and solemn atmosphere permeated the audience.

Neither of them meant to talk nonsense.

"Hammer!"

Duan Xinghe directly drew his sword out of the sheath, threw the scabbard aside casually, and as soon as his feet moved, the whole person rushed forward.

A cold light flashed in the air.

The silver sword light shot out like a thunderbolt through the air, slashing straight towards Xu Anping.

Xu An's face was calm and indifferent.

Since becoming a martial artist, he has already experienced dozens of battles, some crushing, some evenly matched, and some barely supported, so to speak, he has experienced all kinds of scenes.

Even now that he was in the Qingyang Palace, fighting with Duan Xinghe, who was known as the strongest and most powerful in Qingyang Prefecture, he did not have the slightest nervousness or worry, but only had a strong battle intent in his heart.

"Die!"

Xu Anping took the initiative to meet him with a sword.

Two figures that were also as fast as lightning collided fiercely, and the blades struck violently, making a piercing crashing sound.

Although this was a tentative attack, both of them used all their strength, and from this, they also tested the approximate strength of the other party, so that they had a rough judgment of the other party's cultivation.

"He's really a blood exchanger!"

"And it's likely to be the same mid-stage as me, and the cultivation is no less than mine."

Duan Xinghe's face was much more solemn, but he did not hesitate in the slightest in the movements in his hands, his feet moved, his body turned, and the long sword changed an angle and slashed towards Xu Anping's waist again.

Xu Anping's reaction was not slow at all, and he also changed his moves at the first time, and the subtlety of his moves was no less than that of Duan Xinghe, who had been famous for many years.

The two of them tossed back and forth, like a large group of shadows entangled together, wandering around the spacious courtyard, and the sound of metal clashing was constantly heard, and it was obvious that the battle was extremely fierce.

After realizing that he couldn't take down Xu Anping quickly, Duan Xinghe's eyes became more and more solemn.

At a certain moment, he suddenly jumped backwards, briefly broke away from the battle circle, and when the person was still in the air, he shouted:

"Someone!"

This loud shout was like a spring thunder explosion, which instantly alarmed everyone in the entire Qingyang Palace.
