"If you don't want to bet with him, how about you bet with me?"

Just as Lu Yuanfeng and Shen Yunpeng were silently confronting each other thoughtfully, a gentle and soft voice suddenly sounded from the side, which immediately woke the two of them from their thoughts.

Lu Yuanfeng's gaze tightened suddenly, and he hurriedly rushed to Hua Xiangjun, who was standing next to the carriage at some point.

His deep dark eyes paused on Hua Xiangjun's face for a moment before silently retreating to her side.

And Shen Yunpeng, the commander of the Janissaries of Beirong, also turned his head to look at Hua Xiangjun when he heard the sound, but he didn't know that at a glance, he was robbed of his soul by this peerless face that appeared in front of him!

He stood there for a long time, until the neighing of a wounded horse came to his senses.

In addition to being embarrassed, he unconsciously and habitually wanted to straighten the helmet on his head, which was originally extremely upright, but when he raised his hand, he found that he still had a sword in his hand.

Hurriedly put his sword into the sheath, he secretly took a deep breath to calm himself down as soon as possible.

Then, he took a big stride, walked in front of Hua Xiangjun, and solemnly clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general, Shen Yunpeng, has seen Miss Xiangjun!"

Hua Xiangjun bowed back very decently, and said lightly: "It turns out that General Shen already knows my identity, and he must have come for me with his troops to chase after him this time." ”

"Please forgive the last general for being abrupt! The last general was indeed ordered by the Queen Mother to escort the girl into the palace. ”

Shen Yunpeng said as he stepped aside, and at the same time raised his hand to gesture and put on a posture of invitation.

Hua Xiangjun stood there without moving, but a light smile appeared on his face, and said: "I'm afraid the general has forgotten, I have already said that I want to make a bet with the general." As for whether to enter the palace or not, it depends on the outcome of this gamble. ”

Shen Yunpeng couldn't help but be stunned, then shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, girl, you can't gamble in the end!"

"Can't bet, or don't you dare to bet?"

A clear look of contempt crossed Hua Xiangjun's eyes, "Is General Shen so afraid that the Queen Mother will condemn you?"

Shen Yunpeng's face couldn't help but sink, but he gritted his teeth sharply and nodded: "That's true! As the commander of the Praetorian Guard, the last general should act according to orders, and he dare not go beyond the slightest!"

"It's a pity that I, Hua Xiangjun, am different from you, the commander who has always obeyed people's orders, and I don't care what the queen mother thinks. If General Shen doesn't want to disobey his orders, then go and ask the Queen Mother to come and gamble with me herself!"

was repeatedly ridiculed by Hua Xiangjun in public, and Shen Yunpeng, the commander, finally couldn't hold it on his face.

He couldn't help sneering slightly, and said, "The last general is strictly ordered by the Queen Mother, but I'm afraid that the girl will make another opinion!"

Hua Xiangjun listened, but was unmoved.

I saw her raise one jade hand slightly, gently tuss the sideburns that were blown away by the wind, and said in a rambling voice: "General Shen may not know, I am a doctor, especially good at the art of golden needles. Before I stepped out of the carriage, I had placed a golden needle in my body. It's not easy for the Queen Mother to see me, but it's not difficult to see my body!"

"You-"

Shen Yunpeng looked at Hua Xiangjun with a shocked expression, he really couldn't believe that such a woman who looked weak and slender had such a strong will. But he didn't dare to take any risks at the moment and didn't believe her words.

"What do you want to bet with me?" Although he was unwilling, he finally asked helplessly.

Seeing that this commander who exuded a fierce aura was willing to give in to himself, Hua Xiangjun's beautiful and dignified face showed a rare smile that was slightly narrow, "What I want to bet with General Shen is this competition between you and Lu Yuanfeng." ”

"What is that girl's bet?" Shen Yunpeng immediately asked cautiously.

"My bet is on myself. Although General Shen did not dare to bet on me for fear of the Empress Dowager's blame, I had the freedom to bet on myself. ”

Shen Yunpeng secretly gritted his teeth, and then asked, "How does that girl want to bet?"

"I bet you're going to lose. Hua Xiangjun had an extremely confident smile on his face.

"What...... What?!"

Shen Yunpeng didn't turn the corner for a while, and raised his eyebrows extremely unconvinced: "How could I lose?!"

But then his mind turned, and he suddenly thought that the girl in front of him was short of breath and had a delicate body, and she was definitely not a person who practiced martial arts, and she must not have any knowledge of martial arts. And the reason why she bet that Lu Yuanfeng would win should only be out of a blind trust in this young man.

In this way, I can take advantage of this gamble to make this stubborn girl admit defeat and relent, and obediently follow herself into the palace to see the Queen Mother.

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Yunpeng immediately changed his tone: "If I lose, what will the girl do?"

Hua Xiangjun smiled and said, "Actually, I completely agree with General Shen's proposal. If the general loses to Lu Yuanfeng, he will let him leave unharmed. And if the general wins, he can take his life. ”

Shen Yunpeng's heart was suddenly happy, but he still asked cautiously: "What about the girl, doesn't the girl plan to leave with Lu Yuanfeng?"

"I know that General Shen has been strictly ordered by the Queen Mother and will never agree to let me go. Then I will naturally not embarrass the general. As long as you let Lu Yuanfeng leave, I will follow you into the palace to see the Empress Dowager. ”

Shen Yunpeng saw that she said clearly and clearly, the purpose was just to fight for the opportunity for Lu Yuanfeng to escape, and he really didn't have the slightest intention of embarrassing himself, and he was even more happy, so he didn't think about it anymore, and nodded happily: "Okay, this game, I bet with the girl!"

Hua Xiangjun saw that he finally nodded, and his face suddenly bloomed like a spring flower, revealing an extremely touching smile.

Shen Yunpeng couldn't help but look stunned for a moment, and suddenly his heart softened, feeling that it was actually nothing to let go of the young man surnamed Lu, so that at least it would not make such a lovely girl in front of him sad.

But when I think about it, I am the commander of the dignified Praetorian Guard, if I lose to a young man who is not even the weak crown like this, then how can I stand up in front of those Praetorian Guard brothers in the future?

Secretly regretful, he had no choice but to smile apologetically at Hua Xiangjun and said, "I'm afraid that this girl will definitely lose!"

Unexpectedly, when Hua Xiangjun heard this, he was still smiling, and said in a relaxed tone: "If you lose, you will lose, if you really lose, then I will be like Lu Yuanfeng, and leave my life here!"

Shen Yunpeng was stunned when he opened his mouth.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had been calculated!

When he first received the Empress Dowager's edict, he still felt a little inexplicable, but it was just two young men and women with suspicious identities, why did he send him, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, to personally lead the team to arrest him.

But after a little pondering on the road, it occurred to him that since the Queen Mother knew the name of the young woman, she should still have some relationship with her. It is likely that the matter involves the secrets of the royal family, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to know, so he is sent as a confidant.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he didn't think about how difficult the young man and woman were to deal with, he just wanted to get caught and go back to the Queen Mother immediately.

It wasn't until he found out that Lu Yuanfeng was extraordinary, that he was aroused a little interest, and wanted to use this young man to practice swordsmanship, and took his life, which could be regarded as revenge for those Praetorian Guard brothers who were killed and injured by him.

Anyway, the Queen Mother only said that she wanted to bring Hua Xiangjun back unharmed, but she didn't mention this young man surnamed Lu, presumably he was an insignificant character at all.

As a result, it was originally a competition that he, a lonely master, was looking forward to, but he was completely disrupted by a little woman!

I really didn't expect Hua Xiangjun to defend this unknown teenager so much!

She didn't directly threaten him with her own life and let Lu Yuanfeng go, but took such a bet to save the teenager, which should be mainly to not hurt the teenager's self-esteem.

And with her Xiangjun girl's life as a bet, how dare he, the commander, win?!

Shen Yunpeng frowned and looked at Hua Xiangjun's flower-like smile, and secretly sighed in his heart, the Queen Mother said well, the more beautiful a woman is, the more difficult it is!

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty, he finally hung his head and said: "In this way, the last general can only admit defeat!"

Hua Xiangjun smiled at him, then turned his head to look at Lu Yuanfeng, "Xiaofeng, remember my words, don't come to save me." I believe that the Empress Dowager just wants to see me, and will not keep me in the palace for too long. ”

Lu Yuanfeng's lips pursed slightly, and he nodded silently. He sheathed the sword in his right hand and strode away without looking back.

Shen Yunpeng looked at the young man's upright back with some reluctance, and could only shake his head helplessly.

Then, he reluctantly pulled out a smile that he thought was very gentle, and said to Hua Xiangjun: "Miss Xiangjun, please let the last general escort you into the palace." ”

Hua Xiangjun nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the carriage, but after taking two steps, her body shook and suddenly fell to the side.

Shen Yunpeng was already following behind her, and when he saw that the situation was different, he stepped forward and supported her in time.

At this time, he realized that Hua Xiangjun's body was trembling, and his face was even more frighteningly pale.

He hurriedly picked her up by the waist and galloped to his horse.

At this moment, he didn't have time to think about anything else, so he just hugged Hua Xiangjun and flew on the horse.

Then he shook the reins with one hand, turned his horse's head, and galloped away in the direction of the new capital.

Although those Beirong cavalry didn't know what was going on, when they saw that their commander was panicked like this, they didn't dare to say more and ask more, and they all hurriedly followed.

Shen Yunpeng urged the horse, while looking down at Hua Xiangjun, who was already unconscious in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart, sure enough, the more beautiful the woman, the more difficult it is!

This Xiangjun girl is so delicate, but so fierce!

It seems that she is indeed not threatening, but has really put a golden needle in her body.

I don't know what she has to do with that Lu Yuanfeng? In order to save him, she didn't hesitate to do such a ruthless thing to herself!

I don't know what the Queen Mother has to do with her, so she told him in such a rare solemn tone that he must take this woman named Hua Xiangjun to see her unscathed.

And now this girl is dying, and I don't know if she can support it until the moment when the Queen Mother sees her.

This time, he, the commander of the Praetorian Guard most trusted by the Queen Mother, did he have to disappoint the Queen Mother for the first time?

Alas, I really don't know who this Xiangjun girl is, who can force him Shen Yunpeng to bow his head to her and admit defeat, and in the end, she was so at a loss!
