This happened! "

"I didn't expect these young people to be so bold and dare to attack and kill you twice in the martial arts pavilion."

After a brief silence, Pavilion Master Li sighed and said slowly: "I didn't think carefully about this matter. Xue Hai is an alcoholic and he never thought he would be so negligent in important matters."

"For the remaining period of time, you should stay in the courtyard and try not to go out. I will send others to protect you."

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Hearing this, Pei Qiong's eyes flashed with joy. Although he now has a lot of martial arts attainments, it is difficult for him to defeat four hands with two fists. It is definitely good to have someone to protect him.

After saying goodbye, Pei Qiong turned and left.

He followed the stone path and quickly returned to the courtyard where he lived.

Neat furniture is placed in the main room of the courtyard, lifelike murals are carved on the walls, exquisite paintings are hung, and tea sets are placed on the sandalwood table.

Sitting on the wicker chair, Pei Qiong recalled the experience during this period, and her thoughts were like lightning.

Five days ago, Pavilion Master Li left the imperial capital on the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the legitimate son of Marquis Dongjing was attacked and killed.

The attacker is very powerful, one or two levels better than Yan Po from the Western Region Mission, and is most likely a strong person who ranks high on the "Martial Arts Personnel List".

There is also a chance that it may be an old monster on the "Martial Arts Ranking" or a prodigy or a weirdo.

But since Pavilion Master Li returned two days ago, only green-eyed snakes have appeared at night.

The next day, it was only the second senior brother of Xuanwu Pavilion who invited me to receive the delegation from the Western Regions.

Even today, when the mission from the Western Regions attacked me, although the person who attacked me was a first-rate martial arts expert, he was probably not ranked on the "Martial Arts Personnel List".

"This is enough to show that as long as Pavilion Master Li is by my side, a group of people behind the scenes will be afraid and they will not dare to send overly powerful people to attack and kill me."

"You can only try to kill me through small means."

Pei Qiong rolled his eyes slightly and said to himself: "But it should be noted that although the people behind the scenes are afraid of Pavilion Master Li, they have the means to transfer him away."

"From this point of view, if Pavilion Master Li goes out again in the future, I will have to follow him."

"But there is one thing to say. Pavilion Master Li is too busy and cannot protect me all the time. In the final analysis, I still have to improve my strength as soon as possible."

"As long as you are strong enough, you can send demons and demons to suppress and kill them all!"

.........

In the evening, the sun sets over the western mountains.

The morning glow of the sky shines brightly, the golden sunlight shines through the dense leaves, and a large number of light spots fall on the ground.

At this time, Pei Qiong was practicing martial arts in the courtyard when he suddenly heard two footsteps.

Boom--boom--boom--

The next moment, a rhythmic knock on the door sounded.

"Who's coming?"

Pei Qiong slowly gathered his energy and blood, and a sweet voice like an oriole came to his ears.

"On the order of Pavilion Master Li, I came to look after Junior Brother Pei. I wonder if you are in the courtyard?"

The martial arts master sent by the Pavilion Master...

Came so fast...

Hearing this, Pei Qiong turned around and opened the courtyard door. What caught her eyes was a young man wearing dark brocade clothes.

He has regular features, a high nose, and a gentle smile on his face. He holds a long sword in his hand and a sachet on his waist. The energy and blood he inadvertently reveals is amazing.

Beside him, stood a sassy woman wearing a red brocade dress. She had slender eyebrows, delicate and beautiful features, a small nose, rosy pink lips, a jade pendant hanging on her waist, and a folding fan in her hand.

Apparently, it was this woman who knocked on the door just now.

"Pei Qiong has met two senior brothers and sisters."

Pei Qiong looked at the two people in front of him, bowed politely, and asked: "I wonder how you call these two senior brothers and sisters?"

"Just call me Su Yu'er." Su Yu'er, who was dressed in red and looked heroic, pointed to Liu Heng beside him and said, "This is Senior Brother Liu Heng."

Sensing Pei Qiong's gaze, Liu Heng nodded with a gentle expression.

After a brief introduction, the two followed Pei Qiong into the courtyard and looked at the scene inside.

The courtyard where Pei Qiong lives is relatively large, and there are several vacant rooms in it. It only needs a little tidying up and cleaning before you can move in.

Su Yu'er followed Pei Qiong into the main room and glanced at the decoration inside. No luxurious items were seen. The reliefs, calligraphy and paintings on the walls were all ordinary decorations used by Wuge to decorate the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, she said slightly surprised: "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Pei, as the legitimate son of Dongjing Marquis, would be so frugal and not even have a single luxury item in the house."

"Sister, I made you laugh." Pei Qiong said slowly: "The thieves have been thinking about me for half a year. All the money in the bag can only be used to buy medicinal materials to improve my own energy and blood. I don't have any spare money to buy luxury jewelry to decorate the courtyard."

These words are all true. Dong Jinghou did not leave any valuable property to his legitimate son before he was imprisoned, and Pavilion Master Li did not know about this, so he only took care of him and gave him relatively little money.

Dong Jinghou's legitimate son was too embarrassed to go directly to Pavilion Master Li to ask for money.

The final result is the scene in front of him. As the legitimate son of the Marquis, the decoration of the courtyard does not match his status.

"Junior brother has a special status, and it is indeed easy for the younger generation to miss him." Su Yu'er heard this and comforted: "But now that senior brother Liu Heng is by your side, I will definitely keep you safe."

Speaking of this, Su Yu'er rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "After all, Senior Brother Liu Heng is an outstanding figure on the martial arts list. His strength is unpredictable. In his early years, he served as the chief guest of the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce."

"If I remember correctly, Senior Brother Liu Heng was escorting the goods of the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce when he encountered bandits from the Bone Burial Village. In just three moves, he killed the notorious Shibao Village Master of Jing Dynasty."

"It was this move that made Senior Brother Liu Heng famous all over the world. I haven't seen Senior Brother take action in these years. I think my strength must have improved again!"
