Inner city, Huaiying Pavilion
Nie Xiaoli looked at the invitation in her hand and wondered why the owner of this family invited her and her aunts to come, but the invitation mentioned her master, so he came anyway, but without his aunts.
Because if something happens, it will only happen to her.
After entering Huaiying Pavilion, Nie Xiaoli was no longer the same Nie Xiaoli.
An hour later, a goshawk soared into the sky from the Huaiying Pavilion, which indicated that another force was mixed into the extremely turbid and huge whirlpool of the imperial capital.
"Second brother and third child join forces and kill that boy for me!"
Ying Dongning's voice echoed in the sky above this space.
Tao Zongxian and Lu Bangning understood immediately, and they naturally knew that their boss was talking about Luo Bei.
A black line suddenly appeared on Luo Bei's face. He could handle one Lu Bangning, but if Tao Zongxian and Lu Bangning were to fight together, he would be under great pressure.
As for Tao Zongxian, because of his joining, the sword formation is already in danger.
At this moment, he pulled away and joined Lu Bangning in the battle to bully Luo Bei.
The sword formation took a breath for a moment, and Liu Fu's hand holding the handle of the Xiuchundao was trembling.
Just now, Tao Zongxian's sword light all over the sky made his scalp numb. If his companions hadn't pressed hard against his back, he might have escaped.
Letting them Xiaocheng-level warriors face Dacheng-level warriors is equivalent to asking a little white rabbit to fight a lion.
How is this possible?
However, this set of sword formations taught by Master Qianhu is really mysterious. If there is no Dachengjing as a weapon to break the formation, a dozen of them can easily resist those thirty or forty people whose average cultivation level is higher than them. people.
They can even cause effective damage.
But there is one more thing, that is, Liu Fu and the others have crossbow arrows.
The power of the crossbow arrows has no effect on Tao Zongxian, Lu Bangning and others, but it has a great advantage when facing people with a similar cultivation level to his own.
The sword array is now designed to withstand a wave of attacks from the opponent, then push them back, and shoot a wave of crossbow arrows during this gap.
To be honest, the crossbow arrows may do more damage than the sword array itself.
The war groups on both sides fought on their own.
The rebel bandits on the Sword Formation and the Qianhu Station in the Inner City will not go to the battle between Dacheng Realm warriors to seek death.
A Dacheng realm warrior might kill them with a single strike.
Therefore, both sides are fighting for their own purposes and are busy on their own.
Ying Dongning and Liu Xin started fighting again. Liu Xin couldn't keep dodging. Otherwise, Ying Dongning would just rush to the sword formation and break it with a casual slash.
The gap between middle-grade and low-grade products is huge.
"Qianhu, I can't stand it anymore."
Luo Bei couldn't maintain his character anymore. With the joint efforts of Tao Zongxian and Lu Bangning, he suddenly showed signs of failure.
What's more important is that these two people have exerted great power together.
Sighing in his heart, Liu Xin immediately shouted loudly:
"Not ready to take action yet, ready to watch the show until later!"
Ying Dongning was shocked, he was also a very decisive person.
Before Liu Xin finished speaking, he had already withdrawn, not caring about the lives of Tao Zongxian and Lu Bangning.
He was dancing on a knife's edge now, and he couldn't take any chances.
Ying Dongning knew very well that he and others were all cannon fodder for Wang Zhongjie, and they were props to help him use his tricks.
You can discard it at will.
As the former head of a sect, he could understand Wang Zhongjie's thoughts very well.
Liu Xin's roar was very real, but regardless of whether it was real or not, Ying Dongning had to retreat decisively as soon as such signs appeared.
His purpose was not to kill Liu Xin, nor to kill everyone here. He just wanted to make some noise here and then retreat.
Create opportunities for Wang Zhongjie's actions and also create opportunities for his own retreat.
It wasn't until he retreated nearly two to three hundred meters that he shouted:
"Second Brother, Third Brother has an ambush! Get out!"
Liu Xin's side seemed to have been prepared for it. After Ying Dongning retreated, he immediately joined Luo Bei's group.
Liu Xin's roar was very sudden, Ying Dongning's retreat was also unexpected by Tao Zongxian and Lu Bangning, and Liu Xin's intervention came immediately after his roar.
Therefore, Tao Zongxian and Lu Bangning's reaction was a little slow. No, it should be said that Lu Bangning's reaction was half a beat too late, while Tao Zongxian was a beat too late.
Whoever is slow at this time will die.
So when Liu Xin attacked, he directly used [Thunder Drink]!
There seemed to be a dull thunder in the air.
Then a purple sword light was seen striking from the side.
Lu Bangning reacted half a beat faster than Tao Zongxian, and he immediately drew his knife and retreated.
Just because he was half a beat too late, Tao Zongxian wanted to defend himself when he reacted, but was tightly entangled by Luo Bei.
But Tao Zongxian didn't want to die, so he was stabbed in the chest by Luo Bei's sword. Tao Zongxian turned around and slashed hard with all his strength.
The sword was vulnerable to the purple sword light and was inexplicably fragile.
A sword seals the throat.
Tao Zongxian fell to the ground helplessly. He was at a loss until the end. What happened in that short breath just now?
How could Ying Dongning not understand at this time that he had already been fooled.
Sure enough, when he withdrew five or six hundred meters, there was still no movement around him. But at this time, even if he knew that he had been fooled, there was only one way to escape.
"Third brother, run!"
In fact, there was no need for Ying Dongning to yell. A smart person like Lu Bangning had already understood. At this time, he had no time to think about whether his boss had betrayed them. There was only one thing that mattered most at this time.
escape!
Their originally good hand was shattered.
The reason just lies in Ying Dongning's inner thoughts.
He didn't care about the life or death of other people at all, so he would not choose to advance or retreat with others.
The old silver coins are actually the best group of people to deal with.
Their psychological weaknesses are too easy to exploit.
There was no trace of blood on Liu Xin's [Broken Path], and the last drop of blood dripped from the tip of the sword.
He rushed towards the sword formation without hesitation, but when Ying Dongning's subordinates over there saw that all the thousands of households in his family had run away, they immediately lost their will to fight and fled in all directions.
Upon seeing this, Liu Fu, the core member of the sword array, took action immediately. The sword array rushed forward to cut vegetables and melons, leaving more than a dozen lives behind.
"No need to chase!"
Liu Xin issued an order not to pursue the poor enemy.
The key is to catch up, but it's just some small fish and shrimps, not much credit.
The biggest credit goes to Tao Zongxian, who was lying there seriously injured.
Although the last sword directly sealed Liu Xin's throat, Liu Xin did not directly hit the vital point, and now he was only seriously injured.
You can probably ask something else from his mouth.
This is the real credit.
When he saw Tao Zongxian being seriously injured, Dai De'an still showed a look of surprise in the Fusi Yamen of Nanzhen.
He didn't expect Liu Xin to catch someone so quickly. When he heard that all three thousand households from the Inner City Thousand Households Office had appeared, his face suddenly sank.
"I will arrange for people to arrest Ying Dongning and Lu Bangning. As long as the traces are found, the big case law will not let them escape.
Ying Dongning has a very high level of cultivation, Liu Qianhu has worked really hard! "
Liu Xin replied humbly: "It's all what subordinates should do."
Dai De'an nodded with satisfaction and went to arrange it.
Liu Xin led his people back to Qianhu Station. Although the sword array was fierce, many captains were still injured, but it didn't matter. In the end, the silver reward was enough.
Returning to Qianhu Station, I found that Senior Brother Cheng had left a note saying that he was going to do something.
Liu Xin frowned in confusion, what else needs to be done in the imperial capital now?
Is the covert investigation team investigating something important?
However, Senior Brother Cheng is in charge of these matters, so he is not worried. At this moment, he just closes his eyes and rests to relax his body.
Somewhere outside the imperial capital, Changsun He was confronting a person, a young man.
But Zhang Sunhe felt a strong sense of oppression from the other party.
"You hit my man, why don't you give me an explanation?"
Chang Sunhe already knew the identity of the other party, the master of Shanshui Zhai, Dugu Xuanqing.
Dugu Xuanqing raised the tip of his spear and said coldly: "Twenty moves, I only use twenty moves. From now on, forget about it!"
Zhang Sunhe was irritated by him and suddenly became a little angry. This little kid was so rude.
Changsun He no longer worried about the other party's identity and rushed forward with his sword drawn.
result……
Changsunhe's sixth move was to throw his knife.
Changsunhe's eighth move is to break the defense.
Chang Sun and the tenth move fell to the ground.
Dugu Xuanqing looked at Changsun He with contempt:
"With this level, you can actually become a member of Qianhu Jinyiwei?"
Zhangsunhe looked at each other speechlessly with blood at the corner of his mouth.
His marksmanship is too fast, his moves are too clever, his skills are too powerful, and even his internal strength is more dominant as he gets older, and the opponent is more refined than him.
What else is there to say?
There was no need to use his trump card, because the opponent just came to beat him up, not to kill him.
Before Dugu Xuanqing left, he turned around and looked at Changsun He. As if he had forgotten a word, he patted his head and said:
"By the way, Wang Shou went to do something illegal, and now he has been arrested and imprisoned. You must be responsible for this!"
Changsun and Wuyu looked at each other.
He is fishing for law enforcement, huh...
When Chang Sunhe saw Dugu Xuanqing walking away, he slowly got up. But as soon as he wiped the dust off his body, he suddenly noticed something and turned around.
"Sun He, the eldest son of a thousand families of Jinyiwei, colluded with Jinyiwei to rebel against Wang Zhongjie. I don't know what crime he should be punished for?"
Senior Brother Cheng said with a smile.
This is a remote place in the outer city, where no dogs come.
He also got the news by chance that Changsun He was Kou Gang's confidant. This time he was sent out by Kou Gang to contact the underworld and other forces in the city.
That is to say, a complete accomplice.
If Changsunhe could be captured, Liu Xin's career would surely be smoother.
He hadn't realized this when Liu Xin first came. He even guessed that it would be two or three years before Liu Xin reached the level of Qianhu.
Unexpectedly, it has only been two short months. If you add this contribution, you may really be promoted to Qianhu.
Thinking of this, Senior Brother Cheng couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to add fuel to the fire.
Chang Sunhe looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He recognized the other person, but pretended not to know him.
"Who are you and what nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhang Sunhe said angrily.
Senior Brother Cheng waved his hand:
"You don't have to be so hasty to deny it, I heard everything you and Dugu Xuanqing said just now.
And the people you instigated have been arrested. Do you think you can still escape? "
Zhangsun and Mouzi paused. He didn't want to get entangled with the other party, but this person's cultivation level was very high and he couldn't beat him.
Oh, by the way, he was injured yesterday, so it shouldn't be difficult to get rid of him.
"nonsense!"
Changsunhe rolled his eyes, scolded angrily, and suddenly launched his attack, but Senior Brother Cheng had already been prepared.
As soon as Chang Sunhe moved, Senior Brother Cheng followed suit.
Both of them were extremely fast. They ran parallel to one side and stepped onto the high wall.
The two men's movements were exactly the same.
But Changsunhe paused slightly on the city wall and did not jump off the city wall. He just made a false shot.
Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Cheng was not fooled at all.
"Young man, you're still going to play tricks with me!"
Senior Brother Cheng snorted coldly, stepped on the wall, and walked quickly towards Zhang Sunhe.
Chang Sunhe immediately jumped off the wall and ran quickly.
Senior Brother Cheng followed immediately.
Changsunhe's body skills were only average, and he couldn't get rid of Senior Brother Cheng, who had top-notch body skills.
damn it!
Cursing secretly in his heart, Changsunhe turned over and slashed at him.
Senior Brother Cheng's long sword popped out and blocked the sword, while he stepped forward.
The two of them fought in the narrow gap between the two walls. The swords came and went. Senior Brother Cheng was indeed injured, but the eldest grandson and his cultivation were a level lower than him. Therefore, when the two of them fought, Senior Brother Cheng was still able to suppress him. Lives in Changsunhe.
"Why are you pestering me! Who are you?"
Zhangsunhe looked ugly, he still had his own tasks to do!
But this guy kept pestering him. If you can't reveal your trump card, how can you get rid of the other party?
Senior Brother Cheng said nothing, and his sword skills became faster and faster.
After all, Zhangsun and Xiuwei are still weak. If they continue to fight for a long time, they will eventually lose.
The other party's cultivation and skills are all superior to his own.
He was hit twice in a row in one day, and the two blows came immediately after each other, which made him feel angry.
"Damn it, don't blame me!" Zhang Sunhe forced Senior Brother Cheng back with all his strength, then went up with his sword and started to go all out.
Senior Brother Cheng first avoided the edge for a while, and then confronted him tit for tat.
The two of them were going back and forth, and the walls on both sides began to collapse on a large scale.
"die!"
Changsunhe was really angry and started to fight hard.
Senior Brother Cheng also wanted to end the battle quickly, and also started to fight hard.
Once you start working hard, sometimes you can't control your moves.
Senior Brother Cheng feinted with his sword, but Changsun He didn't avoid it at all. He rushed forward and stabbed Senior Brother Cheng's chest with his Xiuchundao.
But Senior Brother Cheng had already anticipated this, so he easily withdrew his attack and at the same time struck the sword quickly and thunderously.
puff!
Changsunhe avoided the vital point at the last moment, but Brother Cheng's sword attached to the sword energy still tore his meridians open. Changsunhe only felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He was stimulated by this burst of pain, and his brain suddenly became clear. He lowered his head and glanced at the sword stuck in his chest, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I...I'm not a rebel!"
Senior Brother Cheng's arm was scratched by Zhang Sunhe's blade. Senior Brother Cheng didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he kicked Chang Sunhe right in the heart.
Changsunhe immediately spurted out another mouthful of blood.
But he was still not dead after he fell to the ground. Of course, Senior Brother Cheng didn't care about Changsun He's life or death. It didn't matter if he was a rebel, he could live or die. He could still get credit if he died.
He came to Zhangsunhe step by step, only to see Zhangsunhe covering his wound, but blood was still flowing out.
"Save...save me! I...I am not a rebel...I am...I am His Majesty's person...I am..."
Changsun He's breath became weaker and weaker, and that sword directly cut off his vitality.
But listen to him. Senior Brother Cheng frowned deeply. Although he didn't believe what the other party said, there seemed to be a huge haze hanging over his head at this moment.
He originally wanted to ask more carefully, but Zhangsunhe struggled twice and died just like that.
died?
Brother Cheng had doubts in his heart, and just as he was about to lean down to take a look at the situation, the wall behind him suddenly exploded and a figure rushed in.
"Changsun Qianhu!"
This is a military commander wearing armor. The moment he broke through the wall and entered, it showed that the opponent was definitely a Dacheng realm warrior.
This man first saw Senior Brother Cheng, and then he was stunned for a moment before seeing Changsun He who fell to the ground.
"Forbidden Army Zhang Yongfeng! Who are you! Changsun Qianhu, how are you?"
Imperial Guards?
Senior Brother Cheng suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and looked down at Changsun He, remembering what he had just said.
Could it be...that he was really the emperor's undercover agent?
Then if I kill him, what will I become...and what will Liu Xin become?
Soon there was the sound of armor rustling around, which was the sound of armor plates rubbing against each other. The sound is very neat, this army must be very strict.
Then two more armored generals appeared. Together with Zhang Yongfeng from before, they surrounded Senior Brother Cheng inside.
Two more great achievements.
Senior Brother Cheng doesn't think he can break out. A fierce general in the army is different from a master of martial arts.
What's more, there are three fierce generals of the same realm, plus an unknown number of forbidden troops.
And he didn't want to break out. Once he broke through, his identity as a "rebellious bandit" would be confirmed.
It didn't matter to him, but he couldn't implicate Liu Xin.
He never imagined that his good intentions would actually do something bad.
No matter what, he would try his best to explain clearly.
The information about his arrest will definitely be passed on to the superiors and Liu Xin by the people from the covert investigation team.
I hope the latter will not be impulsive.
When he was tied up by the two generals who were waiting for him, Senior Brother Cheng still looked stubbornly at Changsun He lying on the ground.
Another general has already gone to check. As a result, he raised his head and shook his head at the remaining two people, which also made Senior Brother Cheng's heart completely sink.
What is this thing called...
Senior Brother Cheng was helpless.
When Liu Xin learned about this, it was already evening.
Liu Xin stood up suddenly, feeling confused.
Senior Brother Cheng actually killed His Majesty the Emperor's spy.
The moment Liu Xin received the news, Dai De'an had already brought the other two thousand households from Nanzhen Fusi to Liu Xin's place.
"Liu Qianhu!" Dai De'an's voice was no longer gentle, and his eyes were full of coldness.
The two Qianhu behind him even pressed their weapons, as if they were ready to take action at any time.
Liu Xin's eyes stayed on the [broken path] on the desk for a moment.
In the end, he turned around and walked out of the desk without picking it up.
"Lord Tongzhi!"
