It turned out that after Feiyun left, Duan Qing took Hongjun and Pengchang to discuss the matter and came to the Luling Palace. Luo Chuan was overjoyed and immediately divided the guards in the palace into two teams to guard day and night. Two days passed without incident. Last night it was Duan Qing's turn to be on duty. At the third watch, he heard the strange sounds of night walkers coming from outside the wall. Duan Qingdang flew onto the roof and found more than ten figures approaching quietly from all sides.
Duan Qing was shocked and hurriedly got off the roof and asked the maid patrolling the backyard to wake everyone up. After a while, Hong Jun, Peng Chang and others all got up. Ximen Shan even brought people from the Ximen family to the backyard to protect Li Xian's family.
Ximen Shan ordered Tianying and others to ambush on the roof with a few guards with good qinggong skills. The other guards were hiding in the surrounding rooms, waiting for him to give the signal, and then they would fight out together. Hongjun took his maids such as lark, magpie, parrot, and mandarin duck to hide in the big tree in the courtyard, and hid in the corridor.
Ximenshan also asked Fei Ying and Feixiang to protect Li Xian and Princess Wei in their bedrooms, and asked Shui Duo and Bing Duo to guard Liu E's door. Ximenshan knew that these people must be coming for Li Xian's family, so he told Feiying and Feixiang not to leave under any circumstances. Everyone naturally obeyed the order and returned to their respective positions according to Ximen Shan's arrangements.
As soon as everyone hid, five figures jumped over the high wall and landed in the courtyard. Under the moonlight, I saw that they were all dressed in black and their faces were covered with black cloth. The five people were a little surprised when they saw that there was no one patrolling the courtyard, and the leader let out a frog cry for a moment. As soon as the frog sound stopped, five more people came in from outside. Two of them seemed to be the leaders. After whispering, five people went in front and five people came behind, tiptoeing towards the house behind.
These five people were none other than the Yelu Xingyun brothers and sisters, as well as many Khitan warriors. When they heard that Feiyun was going to Fengtang for an appointment, they thought that the number of guards in the Luling Palace must have been reduced. The Khitans divided their troops into two groups, one to attack the Luling Palace and the other to attack the imperial palace.
Yelu Xingyun walked in front with four maids, and slowly approached Hongjun's hiding place. Hong Jun saw that the leader, Yelu Xingyun, was highly skilled in martial arts and might not be able to succeed with one blow. So she saw the opportunity, suddenly jumped out of the diagonal stab, and swung her sword towards a killer. Hongjun has outstanding light skills and deep internal strength. The sword she wielded with sufficient skill was swift and fierce. When the killer noticed it and tried to dodge, he was unable to do so, so he had no choice but to wave his sword to meet him.
The two swords collided with a clang, and the killer's sword was shaken off and fell to the ground. The killer obviously didn't expect to meet such a powerful master, and couldn't help but be stunned. Hongjun's sword continued to strike, hitting the killer's shoulder. The killer screamed and backed away in pain. Jin Ding immediately followed up and hit him on the chest. Hongjun has already made up his mind, killing one will result in one missing, and he will attack without mercy.
Yelu Xingyun and others were shocked, knowing that the other party had discovered their whereabouts and had been prepared for it. Yelu Xingyun raised his sword and slashed towards Hongjun. Hongjun snorted coldly, raised his sword to meet them, and killed them together. At the same time, other people who were ambushing in the tree rushed out one after another. Peng Chang and several guards on the roof, as well as the guards in the house, saw that Hong Jun had taken action, so they followed him out.
Peng Chang fell from the sky and stabbed a nearby killer with his sword. The killer never expected that there would be a sneak attack. When he felt a sharp sword energy coming from above, he tried to dodge, but he couldn't do it in time. He was stabbed in the head by Hong Jun's sword and died instantly. When Princess Xingyun saw this, she was so angry that her orifices were filled with smoke. He came to sneak attack others, but now he was attacked by others, and in the blink of an eye, he lost two people. Yelv Xingyun was furious and swung his sword to take Hongjun directly. Hongjun saw the ferocity of his approach and the sharp wind of his sword, and knew that he had deep internal strength, so he did not dare to attack him forcefully and hurriedly stepped aside.
Although Yelu Xingyun's martial arts was very strong, he wished he could kill Hongjun with one sword. Hongjun was extremely good at Qinggong. He swayed and dodged Xingyun's swift sword. Seeing that Hong Jun was defeated, Parrot and Yuanyang hurriedly swung their swords to attack Yelu Xingyun from the left and right. Yelu Xingyun had no choice but to stop and force the two maids back with a wave of his sword. Hong Jun took the opportunity to turn around and stabbed with his sword. Although Yelu Xingyun's martial arts skills were slightly better than those of Hongjun and the others, the three of them often practiced swordplay together, and they had a similar mind and a tacit understanding. For a while, Yelu Xingyun could not gain the upper hand.
During the fierce battle, many Luling kings rushed from the front yard. Seeing this, Yelu Xingyun knew that he could not resist, so he hurriedly took the maids around him and escaped from the palace.
Peng Chang wanted to catch up, but Hong Jun was worried that someone else would attack him, so he hurriedly stopped him. Hong Jun looked at the people lying on the ground in a mess, and couldn't help but feel sad and angry. While shedding tears, he asked Peng Chang to take a few guards to the roof to monitor the surroundings. Hongjun asked the other guards to restrain the brothers who died in the battle, and asked several maids to work with him to restrain the dead Bai Ling, Magpie and many guards.
At this time, the grief-stricken Hongjun, Yuanyang and Parrot carried the unconscious guard to the bed. Li Xian and Princess Wei came to the backyard courtyard under the protection of Ximen Mountain.
When Hongjun saw Li Xian coming out, he was shocked and hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, even if the gangsters retreat, there is no guarantee that they will come back and kill them. You'd better stay in the room for safety."
Li Xian looked at the dozens of people lying on the ground, shook his head firmly, choked and said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't be so selfish. I should have come out early and let them kill me, then there would be no So many people lost their lives.”
Hong Jun hurriedly comforted: "My lord, please don't say that. They sacrificed their lives for justice for the sake of peace in the world. These people are obviously coming for Your Highness. By saving you, they are helping the people of the world. Your Highness only needs Please practice more benevolent policies in the future, I believe they will be able to smile."
Duan Qing also said: "Your Majesty, since we have followed you, we have been prepared and are willing to die for you. It is enough for your Majesty to remember these brothers and sisters. Don't take it too seriously. If Your Majesty, Such self-blame will make them feel uneasy when leaving."
After everyone's hard persuasion, Li Xian reluctantly held back his tears. He knelt down to thank the dead one by one, and also wanted to thank Hongjun and others. How could Hongjun and the others dare to accept it, so they hurriedly stopped her. Everyone was busy all night, and until Feiyun and others arrived, they still hadn't finished cleaning up.
After Feiyun listened, he asked about the martial arts moves and weapons used by these people last night. They were tall, short, fat and thin. Feiyun thought for a while and said, "Those people must be Yelu Xingyun's subordinates." Mei Mei immediately shouted: "In that case, why don't we search the capital now, catch them all, and avenge our dead brothers and sisters!" Liangchen said hurriedly: "No. This is just brother's guess and there is no real evidence."
Feiyun felt that what Liangchen said was reasonable and asked: "Liangchen, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" Liangchen thought for a while and said: "They masked their sneak attacks, and we can only suffer the loss of being dumb for the time being. We cannot be blind for the time being. Before taking action, we must first heal the injured. Of course, since they used tricks like sneak attacks, we can also treat them in their own way. But I haven't figured out the specific method yet. If we act rashly, On the contrary, it might alert the enemy!"
Feiyun thought for a while and said: "Everyone has been working hard these past few days. We should take a good rest and recharge our batteries. When the right opportunity comes, we will go to this group to settle accounts and avenge the victims!" Everyone saw Feiyun. Yun has already decided and will say no more. Liangchen asked Liu Lixian again: "Your Majesty, did you send someone to report what happened here to the Emperor?"
Li Xian shook his head and said with sobs: "Not yet. I know that the emperor has a lot of things going on recently, and I was afraid that he would be distracted, so I didn't send anyone there. If you think it is necessary, I will send someone over immediately to report it."
Liangchen said: "I think we should send someone to tell the emperor. First, let him know about Fengtang, and second, let him beware of sneak attacks. I find it strange." After hearing this, Li Xian hurriedly asked two guards to rush to the palace to report the news. , the two guards followed the order and left. Feiyun then asked everyone to work together to clean up the backyard. Soon, everything was tidied up inside and outside the courtyard, and Feiyun asked everyone to go to rest first and discuss things together in the evening.
Feiyun saw that Li Xian and Princess Wei had sad faces and heavy hearts, so she asked Ximenshan and others to accompany Li Xian and Princess Wei back to their room to try their best to comfort them. Feiyun was about to talk to Liangchen when he saw Lian'er walking in. Feiyun thought that Jin Ding's injury had worsened and asked hurriedly: "Lian'er, how is the injured person doing?" Lian'er shook his head and said: "There is nothing for the time being. Changes. But there is a problem. I'm worried that Hongjun can't accept it, so I don't know whether to tell her. Brother, please make a decision."
Feiyun was shocked and asked: "What's the problem?" Lian'er hesitated for a long time and then said softly: "Lark and Magpie were seriously injured. It will take a long time for the other personnel to recover."
Feiyun and Liangchen were shocked when they heard this. Liangchen thought for a long time and then said: "I think it's better to tell him. He will know sooner or later anyway. Tell him early so that he can be prepared, so that it won't be inappropriate to talk about it when the problem comes." Feiyun nodded in agreement, but Ask Lian'er to speak as tactfully as possible.
Lian'er agreed immediately, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although Peng Chang can save his life, he has lost all his skills and it may be difficult to recover. Sister Yuanyang's internal injuries cannot be cured in a short time." Feiyun was stunned, this For Peng Chang, this is undoubtedly a piece of bad news that is difficult to accept. If a person who practices martial arts loses all his skills, it means he becomes a useless person. Many people in the world cannot accept this situation once they encounter it.
Feiyun didn't know how to answer Lian'er for a moment. Liangchen thought for a moment and then said: "Brother, I have some ideas. I want you to decide whether they are suitable or not." Feiyun looked at Liangchen and said, "When did you become so verbose! Tell me!" Liangchen He immediately said: "Since Brother Peng Chang is injured, we must tell Duan Qing immediately..."
Feiyun then said: "You have a good idea. Please tell Princess Hongjun where to find a suitable person later."
