Facing Wu Ling's threat, Shen Lie looked calm and unconcerned. He first gave the other party a cold smile, then turned to Yuan Bin and others and said: "Even if what they said is true, Shen believes that Princess Fenyang has her own way to deal with it properly, so there is no need to worry about the Prince Consort's Mansion. As for that, They..."
Shen Lie looked at Wen Xiao and Wu Ling: "For me, whether you fall into my hands or the hands of the imperial court, the effect is almost the same, so if you are willing to warn someone, then just scream. Shen is happy to watch the fun."
Wen Xiao raised his hand to stop Wu Ling who was about to speak, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, there is no need to lose both sides. In a sense, you and I have a problem with the emperor's court. We might as well calm down and talk about a deal. how?"
"Oh? What's the deal?" Shen Lie asked leisurely.
"As long as you let us go, the conditions are whatever you want." Wen Xiao responded: "It is only natural that you seek revenge on Lao Jianhua, and we have nothing to say. However, there is no Lao Jianhua here, only his misfortune Disciple and this unlucky friend like me, we have the wrongdoer and the debtor, so why bother to kill us all?"
Shen Lie showed his signature smile of "The Living King of Hell" and said coldly: "I can promise not to kill you, but you must surrender and surrender the rest of the spies from the Huben Camp."
Wen Xiao's expression changed: "Isn't this a bit overwhelming? Do you have to fight to the death today?"
Shen Lie's eyes flashed with a chill: "Then stop talking nonsense and do it!"
Following the words, he suddenly swayed, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of Wen Xiao. His palms transformed into countless palm shadows, directly covering the thin Wen Xiao.
Almost at the same time, Yuan Bin swung his sword and rushed towards Wu Ling, while Shi Feng leaped forward and attacked the masters from the Huben Camp who were guarding Lian Ji.
In an instant, blades were flying and fists and palms were intersecting in the small courtyard. Dozens of people were instantly mixed together and started fighting fiercely.
Wen Xiao showed off a pair of iron claws, screamed strangely, and fought hard against Shen Lie. His martial arts specializes in fierceness. When he was first in the Beiya Nilin Division, Shen Lie was just a young boy who had just debuted. No matter his internal strength or moves, he was far inferior to this famous iron hand senior.
However, after so many years, Shen Lie has quickly grown into a top master. Not only has he improved greatly in Wind and Thunder Palm, but he has also become extremely rich in combat experience. Coupled with his age advantage and long energy, he quickly gained the upper hand in the competition.
Fighting against the opponent's sharp claws on his shoulder, Shen Lie hit Wen Xiao's chest and left wrist with two heavy palms in succession, causing the opponent's mouth to spurt blood and his left hand to be disabled.
Wen Xiao roared angrily and advanced instead of retreating. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and aimed directly at Shen Lie's face.
That kind of indomitable momentum regardless of the cost, it is clear that he wants to die together with Shen Lie. If he is really hit by his claw, half of his face will be ripped off.
Shen Lie had the initiative and naturally did not want to lose both sides with Wen Xiao, so he retreated calmly and used his ghostly speed to dodge the opponent's fatal blow. Unexpectedly, Wen Xiao became ferocious. Seeing Shen Lie retreating on his own initiative, he immediately gained the upper hand and pressed forward, never leaving the vital position of Shen Lie's head and chest.
Shen Lie waved his arms to block and laughed loudly: "Brother Wen, your temper is already messed up, so you should admit defeat. For the sake of his former colleagues, Shen can consider sparing your life."
Wen Xiao knew that this was a trick to attack the heart, but he was so angry that he couldn't bear it anymore. His eyes were bloodshot and he shouted viciously: "Bullshit! That bastard Qin Zhu was trying to please Li Chengwen , caused my family to be ruined! Aren’t you his apprentice, just in time to pay off the debt!"
After saying that, Wen Xiao sped up and jumped, reaching out to grab Shen Lie's heart. However, when he struck out in anger, he violated the taboo of not leaving any force behind. He swung his claws wildly, leaving flaws everywhere.
What Shen Lie wants is this opportunity. He saw that the blind spot under the opponent's ribs was completely unprotected, and he turned sideways to avoid the claw attack. At the same time, he raised his foot and kicked Wen Xiao right in the soft ribs.
There was just a crunching sound, and three of Wen Xiao's ribs were broken on the spot. Blood spurted out and flew out, and then he fell heavily not far away.
Shen Lie put away his offensive, looked coldly at Wen Xiao who was lying on the ground coughing up blood, and said calmly: "You are wrong, and it is a big mistake! When my master removed you, it was not to please the emperor. It was because I was worried that Li Chengwen would hold you accountable after he ascended the throne, so I took the risk of being punished and asked you to leave the imperial capital in advance. Unfortunately, you were too resentful and only looked for opportunities to take revenge, but missed the opportunity to rush back. The time to protect your family. Wen Xiao, it was you who harmed them."
"You fart! Fart!" Wen Xiao's pale and disheveled hair couldn't help but tremble: "I have fought hundreds of battles for the emperor, and I have contributed to the Beiya Nilin Division! I have contributed to the Shengtang! Why are you chasing me away like a wild dog? ?Why?!"
Shen Lie had an unbearable look on his face.
Wen Xiao suffered the injustice of expulsion, so why not herself? As the leader of the Nilin Division, what can he do if he is loyal? So what if you have great achievements? In the end, wouldn't he also be kicked out, or even accused of being accused and thrown into jail?
He sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps... this is the fate of people like you and me. Loyal to the emperor, loyal to the Holy Tang, but your hands are also stained with blood, which can never be washed away... Text Senior Xiao, please take a step first and go down below to spend time with your family. Everything in this world is no longer worthy of your nostalgia."
As he spoke, Wen Xiao's angry eyes gradually lost their luster, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing was completely cut off.
The ribs that had just been broken pierced his heart, and together with severe internal injuries, the life of this thin old man had been taken away.
Shen Lie looked at Wen Xiao blankly, his heart suddenly felt empty, and he didn't know what to think.
Suddenly, a shrill roar pulled him back from his thoughts. Shen Lie followed the sound and found that Wu Ling, the deputy general of Huben Camp, with his hair disheveled and his face covered in blood, was being besieged by Yuan Bin and two other intelligence department masters.
The roar just now was made by Wu Ling in shock and pain when Yuan Bin cut off his right arm with a knife.
Shen Lie raised his eyebrows and reminded: "Keep him alive!"
Yuan Bin agreed loudly, and while Wu Ling was going crazy to resist the other master's attack, he raised his leg and kicked his ankle, knocking the opponent down directly.
At this time, Shi Feng had successfully succeeded. All the Huben masters responsible for protecting Rui Ji were killed, and Lao Jianhua's number one Fengchen spy was back under control.
Shen Lie looked around and saw that except for Wu Ling, there was no one alive among the rebel spies. He waved his hand and ordered: "This is the enemy's retreat gathering point, and there will probably be more people coming. Shi Feng, you take five brothers to escort Rui Ji back and hide it properly. Yuan Bin and the others stay with me." , prepare to clean up other rebel spies!"

"Lord Captain, the imperial edict is here!"
A forbidden soldier hurried forward, followed by the panting chamberlain who delivered the order.
Zhang Yangzeng was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly stepped forward to support the chamberlain who was almost fainting from exhaustion: "Father, where is the imperial edict?"
"Yes, here." The chamberlain responded breathlessly while holding up the yellow silk scroll with both hands: "Your Majesty has a decree to order the imperial army to enter the Prince Consort's Mansion to search for treasure thieves. All soldiers and civilians are Please cooperate and assist.”
Zhang Yangzeng laughed, said "Okay", and then took the servant and walked towards the gate of the Prince Consort's Mansion.
When the royal ministers guarding the door heard that the emperor had really issued the decree, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned. At the same time, they all looked at Fenyang Princess Li Xi.
Li Xi seemed unhurried, and nodded with a smile: "Since the holy will is like this, and the behavior of the forbidden army is also in line with the rules, then I must obey the order. Please, please, go up and down, inside and outside, whatever you want in the Prince Consort's Mansion. You search!”
Dong Tianxing was still a little worried that Shen Lie was inside, and couldn't help frowning: "Princess, you are just a thief who steals treasures. Can't the soldiers in your house search for you? There is such a commotion in the middle of the night. If it spreads..."
Li Xi raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "Master Dong, it's okay. The Queen must have felt sorry for Qibao Fengchai, so she begged Your Majesty to issue a decree to let the imperial army enter the palace to catch the thief. We ministers, always We should welcome the Holy Will. Anyway, our house only has such a big space, so just let them rummage around."
Seeing this, Zhang Yangzeng said "offended" and then waved his hand: "Team 1, Team 2, Team 4, Team 5, Team 6, all go in and look for me carefully!"
The soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry responded in unison, and then entered the Prince Consort's Mansion in order, and according to the pre-planned plan, they launched a blanket search in the areas they were responsible for.
These people had received instructions in advance and had specially memorized Shen Lie's portrait. Their mission was not to find the thief who stole the treasure at all, but to identify Shen Lie and the spies of the Zhenjiang Intelligence Department.
Therefore, each team of tiger and leopard cavalry, with the cooperation of the Nilin Division, searched door by door, inch by inch. Everyone in the Prince Consort's residence, regardless of whether you were a maid or a servant, whether you were a cook or a gardener, including the old lady who did the laundry, were all called out and their identities were verified one by one.
In addition, the room cannot be spared. Hu Baoqi searched every house in the house, and the Nilin Division spies helped determine whether there were any hidden rooms or secret passages in the house. The focus of outdoor activities is on wells, rockeries, ponds, garden nurseries, bamboo forest canopies and other places to check whether there are any hidden people.
Thousands of forbidden soldiers were tossing around in the Prince Consort's Mansion for a full hour and a half. They searched back and forth three times, but found nothing unexpected. They couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
News came one after another, and Zhang Yangzeng, the commander-in-chief of the scene, felt even more uneasy about it.
He secretly considered whether he should discuss with Tian Mu and use the "outlaw thief" prepared in advance to end this farce. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the excited shouts of soldiers suddenly came from the direction of the side courtyard: "Found it! Found it! There is a secret passage leading to the outside!"
