Chapter 331: The Road Meets the Pursuers
Quietly leaving the contact point of the hidden secret spy, Hua Xiangjun and Lu Yuanfeng went to the inn where they lived.
But when they passed through a busy city, they were stopped.
It turned out that it was a man who was carrying a burden and was squeezed by the person next to him, and the burden was knocked over, and the fruit inside was sprinkled on the street.
Pedestrians on the street rushed to pick up the fruits that didn't cost money.
The man who was carrying the burden suddenly became anxious, and while asking for help repeatedly, he was busy pushing away those who took advantage of the fire to rob.
Since the incident happened in front of his eyes, Lu Yuanfeng saw that the man who was carrying the burden was pitiful, so he stepped forward to help him lift the overturned burden, and collected the spilled fruits into the burden as soon as possible.
Hua Xiangjun wanted to step forward to help, but before she could bend down, a person next to her who grabbed the fruit was pushed by the man who carried the burden, staggered back a few steps, and suddenly fell beside her.
And before the man fell, his hands were still waving a few times in the air, but he happened to grab the face-covering hat that Hua Xiangjun was wearing on his head.
As a result, as the man screamed and fell, Hua Xiangjun's face was instantly exposed in front of everyone!
Those who were originally competing for fruit and watching the excitement from the sidelines, after hearing the shout, all turned their eyes to this side, but unexpectedly, they saw a beautiful face that they will never forget!
At that moment, it seemed that everything had come to a standstill.
Regardless of men and women, everyone present stared at Hua Xiangjun silently with their eyes wide open.
As soon as Lu Yuanfeng saw that the situation was not good, he immediately flew forward, picked up the hat that fell on the ground, and put it back on for Hua Xiangjun.
Then, before everyone could fully come to their senses, he had pulled Hua Xiangjun and quickly disappeared into the crowd in the distance.
As soon as they returned to the inn, Hua Xiangjun and Lu Yuanfeng immediately packed up their things and hurriedly checked out and left.
They didn't dare to stay in the city for a while, so they rented a carriage and left the new capital from the south gate.
But soon after leaving the city, they found a group of Beirong cavalry speeding up from behind.
Where can the two-wheeled ordinary carriage outrun the cavalry that is chasing like a swift wind?
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Lu Yuanfeng had no choice but to pull the reins and stop the carriage.
After whispering something to Hua Xiangjun in the car, he jumped out of the carriage, walked a few big steps towards the road, and then stood tall in the middle of the road, looking solemnly at the Beirong cavalry carrying the smoke and dust in the sky and the boundless murderous aura.
The cavalry obviously didn't take this young man who was blocking the road alone in their eyes, and the speed of the horse did not decrease in the slightest and rushed straight towards Lu Yuanfeng.
At the forefront was a Beirong general wearing gold armor. I saw him waving the heavy spear in his hand, and stabbed straight towards Lu Yuanfeng.
Lu Yuanfeng stood there calmly, and only when the spear that stabbed him was only a foot away from his face door did he suddenly fly up, and the unsheathed sword volleyed towards the general's head!
The general's kung fu was extremely good, and he immediately put a diamond iron bridge on horseback, and avoided the extremely powerful sword very neatly. At the same time, the spear in his hand also stabbed upwards and stabbed at Lu Yuanfeng, who was still in mid-air.
Lu Yuanfeng knew that the spear was heavy, and the long sword in his hand did not dare to touch it, but instead used his toe side to kick the spear shaft, and at the same time used his strength to fly towards the Beirong cavalry chasing behind.
Although the Beirong cavalry behind them were also athletic, they were obviously much inferior to the general who made the spear in kung fu, but in an instant, five or six people were cut off their horses by Lu Yuanfeng's sword one after another.
At this time, the general who made the spear had turned his horse's head and attacked from behind Lu Yuanfeng.
Suddenly feeling the fierce murderous aura coming from behind him, Lu Yuanfeng couldn't care about continuing to hurt the enemy, so he hurriedly dodged and rolled through the chaotic hooves of the horses, and rolled directly to the side of the road.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the neighing of horses, and the hooves of more than a dozen horses had been cut off by his sword!
While the wounded horses fell to the ground one after another, they also threw down the Beirong cavalry on horseback who had not yet reacted and were wearing heavy armor.
It was only at this time that the general who made the spear really realized that the young man with a cold face in front of him was actually a very strong opponent!
This immediately aroused his competitive spirit.
I saw him laugh loudly, and he actually hung the spear in his hand on the saddle bridge, and then flew off the horse.
Lu Yuanfeng also stood up from the ground at this time and gently patted the dust on his body.
The Beirong general strode in front of him, drew the long sword at his waist, and said, "I, Shen Yunpeng, have not met an opponent worthy of drawing a sword for a long time! It's rare to meet one here today, it's really fast! This little brother, what's your name?"
"Far wind in the lower land. ”
Although Lu Yuanfeng's voice was still cold and calm, at this time, his heart had already swelled with great waves.
Shen Yunpeng! Commander of the Beirong Praetorian Guard!
This person is born with divine power, and he is obsessed with martial arts, so he can be regarded as a rare master in the world.
It is rumored that as early as a few years ago, Shen Yunpeng, who was only weak, had challenged the Chiyang Sect Leader Duxiaoqiong. The two fought until two hundred moves later, and Shen Yunpeng was defeated.
Moreover, this Shen Yunpeng is a trusted and favored minister of the Empress Dowager Yin of Beirong, and his loyalty to the Empress Dowager has far exceeded his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor of Beirong.
Back then, it was he who was ordered by the Queen Mother to secretly open the palace gate on the night of Shangyuan, and let the people led by the fourth prince Yu Wengang enter the palace.
As a result, in that palace change, not only His Majesty Yuwen Jiheng, the emperor of Beirong, and his empress were killed together, but also the emperor's eldest son Yu Wenhan and several other princes were also killed.
And after Yu Wengang, who was supported by the Empress Dowager Yin, ascended to the throne, of course, he must continue to reuse Shen Yunpeng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard who has meritorious service from the dragon. The new emperor not only handed over the defense of the entire new capital to the Praetorian Guards, but even handed over the Imperial Forest Army around him to Shen Yunpeng.
Such a high-ranking and powerful figure was actually sent to serve as a chaser this time, which shows how much the Empress Dowager Yin attaches importance to Hua Xiangjun.
Just when Lu Yuanfeng was still secretly suspicious, Shen Yunpeng suddenly said, "Lu Yuanfeng, would you like to have a solo competition with me?"
Hearing this rather strange proposal, Lu Yuanfeng couldn't help but glance at him, but saw that Shen Yunpeng's eyes were shining with an extremely excited light.
At this moment, it was obvious that his side had the advantage in numbers, but he, the commander, was unwilling to be outnumbered by the crowd, so he had to choose to fight alone. From this point of view, it is indeed a rumor that this Shen Yunpeng is indeed a person who has become an idiot in martial arts.
"If there is a competition, there will be a win or a loss. I don't know what the result of winning or losing is?" Lu Yuanfeng asked indifferently.
"Little brother, if you win, you can leave on your own. If you lose, stay for your life!"
Lu Yuanfeng listened, but shook his head, raised his hand and pointed to the carriage that Hua Xiangjun was riding, and said, "If I lose, I will naturally leave my life, but if I win, I will take her with me!"
Shen Yunpeng couldn't help frowning in embarrassment, and didn't answer immediately.
Seeing him behave like this, Lu Yuanfeng had a rough judgment of the situation in front of him in his heart.
In fact, only from the few moves he had just made, Lu Yuanfeng had clearly felt that he was by no means Shen Yunpeng's opponent.
But except for Shen Yunpeng, the rest of the more than 100 Beirong cavalry are all low-level martial arts, and they should just be ordinary Praetorian Guards, not masters of the Great Interior.
Therefore, if Lu Yuanfeng wants to escape alone at this time, he does have a great chance.
Shen Yunpeng must have seen this, so he deliberately proposed to compete with him alone.
First, he didn't want to miss a good opponent, and secondly, he didn't want to let go of him, a young master who had just killed many of his subordinates.
In fact, Shen Yunpeng should know very well in his heart that in this battle, Lu Yuanfeng will be defeated, and he will even die in his hands. Therefore, the condition proposed by this young man to take Hua Xiangjun away after winning is simply an unrealizable empty word.
But even if he was absolutely sure that he would win, Shen Yunpeng still refused to take Hua Xiangjun as a bet in this competition.
The reason for this is probably due to the loyalty of this lord to the Queen Mother.
He should have reached the point where he refused to disobey the queen mother's decree in the slightest.
It can also be seen from this that the Empress Dowager Yin should also be determined to win Hua Xiangjun who suddenly appeared.
