The night wind gusts, bringing with it a late autumn chill.

Lu Yuanfeng, dressed in a thin night suit, was lying alone on the roof tiles of a shop on the street, his bright eyes staring closely at the direction of the end of the street.

At this time, the second watch had passed, and not a single pedestrian on the street was missing. Only the lanterns that had been extinguished in front of some shops were blown by the wind and gently swayed back and forth from time to time, adding a bit of gloom to the cold silence.

Suddenly, a few slight noises came from the end of the empty street.

Lu Yuanfeng's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and a murderous aura flashed on his cold face.

Soon after, more than a dozen figures appeared on the empty street.

I saw that these people were all extraordinary, quick and agile in their movements, but in a moment, they surrounded a place where the signboard of the medicine hall was hung.

And this medicine hall happened to be opposite the shop on which Lu Yuanfeng was lying at the moment.

Condescendingly, he could have seen all the sneaky actions of those people.

But after a few glances, he turned his gaze to the end of the street.

When he saw that at some point, a sedan chair carried by two people had stopped at the end of the street, Lu Yuanfeng's dark eyes couldn't help but flash a cold light, and the hand pressed on the hilt of the sword also tightened.

He waited patiently for a few more moments, until the dozen or so figures had disappeared into the medicine hall.

At this time, he quietly got up, lifted his breath on the roof tiles, and between a few ups and downs, he was close to the end of the street.

Then, I saw him suddenly rise up, holding a long sword in his hand, and flew towards the sedan chair that was stopping at the end of the street.

A few feet away in the blink of an eye, seeing that the sharp tip of the sword was about to pierce the curtain of the sedan chair, he was about to pierce the person sitting in the sedan chair -

At this time, a hand suddenly stretched out next to him, and with only two fingers, he firmly clamped the long sword that was carrying the ten successful powers of Lu Yuanfeng!

Lu Yuanfeng was startled, and his left hand immediately pointed at him like a knife, and quickly slashed at the wrist veins of the hand that held his long sword.

But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an extremely subtle cold light that had penetrated the sedan curtain and was hitting his chest.

In a flash of thought, he knew that he had not only been tricked, but also caught in the encirclement of a strong enemy!

At this moment, he could no longer care about hurting the enemy, and his only thought was to evacuate quickly.

I saw that he suddenly withdrew his left hand, and his right hand instantly released the long sword, and then turned over beautifully, narrowly avoiding the deadly cold, and at the same time widening the distance from the sedan chair.

But just when his volleyed figure had not yet stood firm, the person who snatched his long sword had already chased him in front of him with a very strange body method, and punched him with a "whew" punch, which hit him directly at the entrance of the door.

This punch carrying the momentum of wind and thunder seemed simple and direct, but when the layers of fists and shadows were intertwined, countless back moves were conjured, which suddenly made Lu Yuanfeng feel that there was no way to avoid it.

In desperation, he had no choice but to fold his palms, palms outward, bend his elbows and push forward, and at the same time exert force under his feet, ready to take advantage of the momentum to fly backwards to dissipate part of the force of that punch.

Who knows, the other party seems to have expected him to have this move, just when the fist that was enough to break stones and gold was about to collide with his palms, but suddenly shrank back, and then turned his fist into a claw, stretched forward, and grabbed one of his palms!

Lu Yuanfeng was startled, and hurriedly fought with his arms, trying to break free from the iron claw that had broken through the flesh of his palms.

However, at this moment, the other hand's hand had quietly struck his right shoulder.

Feeling that the opponent's left hand has put the general on his right shoulder, once the acupoint is restrained, it is considered to be completely under the control of the opponent.

Lu Yuanfeng gritted his teeth violently, leaned forward, and threw his arms diagonally back with all his might, finally breaking free from his opponent's clamps.

However, because his right shoulder was still in the opponent's palm, and the force of his right arm being thrown back was very strong, as a result, only a soft sound of "click" was heard, and his right shoulder bone was actually detached from the joint.

And the shaking of his shoulders caused by this also allowed him to avoid the other party's finger that pointed to his shoulder.

The nirvana suddenly failed, and the man's reaction was also extremely fast, and then his right palm was slightly raised, and it buckled towards Lu Yuanfeng's throat like lightning.

These hand-to-hand combat, which were as fast as a rabbit's fall, had really forced Lu Yuanfeng, who was only good at making swords, to parry. Now that his right arm is dislocated, he sees that the other party's big palm has hit his throat, but he is no longer powerless to dodge, so he can only close his eyes and wait for death.

Who knew that the man suddenly withdrew his palm, and instantly changed his palm to a finger, directly hitting the middle point on his chest.

Lu Yuanfeng, who couldn't move his whole body at once, couldn't help but widen his eyes angrily, and scolded the man: "Shen Yunpeng, you despicable villain! In vain, you are still the commander of the Beirong Praetorian Guard, and you actually use such shameless means to conspire with others to plot against me! If you still claim to be a martial artist, give me a good time as soon as possible! lest I will expose your despicable deeds to the world in the future!"

was scolded by him, and Shen Yunpeng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, who was dressed as a sedan chair at the moment, couldn't help but be stunned.

He first touched his nose a little uncomfortably, then turned his head to look at the person who had just come out of the sedan chair, and asked very unceremoniously: "Gongyu Sayan, didn't we say that I would do it alone?

Gong Yu Yan Yan heard this, but he smiled slightly, obviously not suppressed by the intimidating momentum of this commander.

"Commander Shen must have misunderstood! Just now I was sitting in the sedan chair, my vision was blocked by the sedan curtain, and I didn't know the situation outside. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the sword breaking the wind in front of him, and it was completely out of self-preservation that he shot out the plum blossom needle.

Later, when I saw that Commander Shen had made a timely move, he had forced the assassin out of the way, so he didn't cast any more secret weapons, because he was really afraid of causing chaos to the Commander. ”

When Shen Yunpeng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, knowing that what this guy said was probably the truth.

A despicable villain like this will naturally treat others with himself and always be on guard against others. He was probably really afraid that he would deliberately not make a timely move and let Lu Yuanfeng stab a transparent hole in his body!

Since he couldn't catch the mistake of this slippery guy for the time being, Shen Yunpeng didn't want to talk to him anymore.

He turned back to Lu Yuanfeng and said, "Little brother, you also heard it, I didn't conspire with anyone to kill you. But if you're still not convinced, then we can compare again. ”

Glancing at Gongyu Sassa Yan behind him, there was a little more contempt and disdain in his tone, "This time, if any guy who can only hurt people with secret arrows dares to intervene, I will be the first to break his neck!"

No matter how high Gongyu's forbearance skills are, hearing this naked threat and provocation, his face can't help but change color.

But he knew very well that this commander was the empress dowager's confidant, and he really couldn't afford to offend him at present, so he could only grit his teeth secretly, and pretended to speak indifferently: "Commander Shen, this person has important information related to the activities of many hidden secret spies in Darong, and it should not be ignored, so as not to miss the major affairs of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Shen Yunpeng didn't even look at him, but he snorted lightly and replied: "This commander is on the order of the Queen Mother to arrest this person, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the important information you said!"

Besides, I have never received an edict from His Majesty the Emperor that I want to discuss any major matter with this Lu Yuanfeng. Didn't Lord Gongyu move out of His Majesty the Emperor at this time just to force me to hand over people to you to dispose of?"

"Before coming here, His Majesty the Emperor did have an edict and ordered him to cooperate with Commander Shen to capture this secret spy alive. ”

Gongyu Sayan still spoke in an indifferent tone, but the words he said obviously carried a kind of insistence, "And His Majesty the Emperor has a strict order to dig out all the hidden secret spies in Darong from this mouth, and completely eliminate their contact points."

No matter what Commander Shen thinks, anyway, from the perspective below, there is no conflict between His Majesty's edict and the Empress Dowager's decree. His Majesty's order, as long as this person confesses, does not say that he will take his life. And the queen mother's intention, as long as this person is captured alive, does not say that she wants to keep him intact.

Therefore, I beg Commander Shen to give me a one-night leniency and let me bring him back to the Dark Guard Division for strict interrogation. Tomorrow morning, I will return the man alive to the adults. I don't know what Commander Shen wants?"

Although Shen Yunpeng was extremely disgusted with this newly favored by the emperor and took charge of the Secret Guard, he could not openly oppose him in official affairs, so as not to arouse the jealousy of His Majesty the Emperor with a violent temperament.

He has commanded the Praetorian Guard for many years, and has been waiting by the side of the emperor and the queen mother all day long, and he is a person with a slightly upright temperament, and he can roughly see the open and secret battle that is taking place between the emperor and the queen mother.

Although the current emperor was single-handedly supported by the Queen Mother, he and the Queen Mother are not completely of the same mind.

The Queen Mother has been immersed in power for many years, and she has lofty ambitions, and what she seeks is the work of Darong for thousands of generations, ruling the world and submitting to all the people. Moreover, the Queen Mother is well aware of the truth that slow things will be completed, and knows that in order to achieve this grand goal, she must be fully prepared and must not rush to achieve success.

And His Majesty the Emperor, who was young and vigorous, was not in line with the Queen Mother's thoughts. He had put all his mind on how to annex Yuguo. He was busy all day long, preparing to launch another southern invasion in the near future.

As a result, their ancestors and grandchildren sometimes have disagreements on government affairs.

This is also the reason why the emperor put aside the Internal Security Department controlled by the Queen Mother, and set up a separate spy agency, the Dark Guard Division.

This secret guard is directly under the imperial front, and Mingli is a secret spy organization sent by other countries in Darong, but secretly he is also doing things for the emperor to monitor hundreds of officials in the court. And Shen Yunpeng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard and the confidant of the Queen Mother, must also be within the scope of his surveillance.

Because of this, Shen Yunpeng finally had some scruples about Gongyu, who was the head of the Dark Guard Division.

Therefore, no matter how disrespectful he was in his words, if it really involved his respective functions, Shen Yunpeng still couldn't tear his face with him, so as not to have a head-on conflict that was difficult to turn around.

At this moment, hearing that Gongyu Sayan was going to take Lu Yuanfeng to the Dark Guard Division for interrogation first, although Shen Yunpeng was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't find a tenable reason to object, so he could only glance at Lu Yuanfeng with some guilt.

"Tomorrow, if you can't hand over someone, you will go and explain to the Queen Mother yourself!"

After throwing this sentence at Gongyu Sayan with a hard erection, he, the commander, flicked his sleeves and strode away.
