After a while, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded at the end of the long street.

The killers turned around and saw hundreds of cavalry charging towards them. These people finally showed frightened and desperate expressions.

Pei Yue personally led 300 cavalrymen to arrive in the shortest possible time. The situation turned instantly. Except for a few killers who still refused to give up and tried to escape, the others dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Pei Yue and Ye Qi came to the carriage and asked with concern: "Sister, have you been injured?"

Pei Ning opened the car curtain and did not look at the blood stains and corpses on the ground around him. He shook his head and said, "Liangyan and I are fine. Third brother, who are these people?"

Pei Yue said apologetically: "I am the one who has caused trouble for my eldest sister."

Pei Ning Bingxue was smart and immediately understood the meaning of this sentence. A touch of pity appeared on her face, and she said softly: "You and I are brothers and sisters who are connected, regardless of each other. What does it mean to be involved? You shielded your sister from the wind and rain, and even risked your life."

At the risk of offending His Majesty, can't my sister even bear this little thing? Third brother, I can't let my sister be like this again in the future."

Pei Yue was startled, as if a warm current surged through his heart, and he forced a smile and said: "Okay, I'll listen to my sister. I still have some things to do, so I'll let Ye Qi take you back home. This journey may not be peaceful, don't let me

I wouldn't trust her if she gave it away."

Pei Ning nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment and then advised: "Third brother, I know you want to seek justice for these wounded and wounded soldiers. My sister will not stop you at this time, but I hope you will not be too impulsive and hurt yourself.

"

"I understand." Pei Yue agreed, and then said: "After returning home, no matter who comes to visit my sister, ignore them. Let good words close the door of Qingfeng Garden, or if it doesn't work, you can directly use my name.

Put it out."

"Okay." Peining nodded solemnly.

Pei Yue then turned to Ye Qi and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Qi looked at him intently, but hesitated to speak.

Pei Yue knew that she was worried about his injuries, so he shook his head and said, "I probably won't do anything next."

Ye Qi did not persuade her, but said firmly: "I will send eldest sister back first, and then I will come to find you."

After saying that, he turned around and moved forward.

The carriage drove slowly, and Deng Zai led some of his uninjured soldiers to continue escorting them.

Pei Yue stood there and watched the carriage leave Gushui Street.

At this time, a soldier came over quickly and reported: "Master Marquis, Commander Fu has arrested someone over there."

Pei Yue's eyes were cold and he said in a cold voice: "Seal this street. No one is allowed to come in without my order!"

"Follow the order!"

Dozens of the three hundred sharp soldiers were separated to guard the tightly bound surviving killers, and the others were divided into two halves to block both ends of the long street. In a short time, the Kyoto Prefecture's officers and the soldiers from the patrol camp affiliated with the Kyoto garrison arrived at the ancient city.

Water Street, but faced with the cold-looking elite Tibetan Guards, they only dared to step forward and ask politely, and retreated in disgrace after receiving no reply.

These people could only report to their superiors immediately, and at the same time, undercurrents were already surging in Kyoto.

The eldest daughter of Dingguo Mansion was attacked on her way back to the mansion. Pei Yue, the Marquis of Zhongshan, led 300 cavalry in a rapid advance in the capital. This news was enough to shock everyone.

The Military Academy, the Government Hall, the Taishitai Pavilion, the Five Military Governor's Office, the Yushitai, the Kyoto Garrison Division, the chief officials of the Kyoto Prefecture and even the Six Ministries and Ten Temples, as well as countless martial arts dignitaries, these big shots learned about this

There were different expressions after the incident, some were thinking hard, some were gloating, and some were worried.

It was already dark at this time, the palace had already locked its keys, and would never open its doors under normal circumstances.

An ordinary sedan came to a stop outside the palace gate. As soon as Silent Cloud got out of the sedan, he saw two sedans arriving at the same time not far away.

The Duke of Wei, Wang Pingzhang, and the left governor Mo Haoli appeared one after another. Silent Cloud stepped forward to greet them, and then stood quietly aside.

Mo Haoli coughed lightly and sighed: "I hope that boy won't make things end badly."

Wang Pingzhang looked calm. Silent Cloud glanced at him, and then said calmly: "Some people have gone too far. I can't blame Pei Yue this time."

"That's all, it's important to meet the saint first."

Mo Haoli said softly, and immediately someone went to notify the general guarding the palace. Although the palace door was not open after sunset, the general guarding the palace also knew the seriousness. He only took a look at the three important ministers outside and knew that something extremely terrible had happened. He did not dare to open the door without permission, so he could only send someone to the harem to report it.

After about a stick of incense, the heavy palace door creaked and was slowly pushed open.

…

Gushui Street, in a remote alley.

Lu Jiang had two long knives held against his neck, his back was against the wall, and his body could not move.

With the flickering torch, he looked at the handsome young general and sneered: "Are you Fu Hongzhi under Pei Yue? I heard that you were born with a dog nose, is it true?"

Fu Hongzhi remained silent.

Lu Jiang continued: "Pei Yue is really good at planning. He used fifty soldiers to protect him on the surface, and secretly asked Ye Qi to follow him. At the same time, he also asked you, a good dog, to lead people to me. But there is one thing I can't think of. Understand, he has always prided himself on valuing love and righteousness, why would he let Peining be used as bait today? Could it be that the righteousness he showed in the past was all an illusion? Have you ever thought about this problem? "

The two elite Tibetan Guards holding swords looked at him as if they were idiots.

The playboy habit in Lu Jiang's bones exploded, and he said angrily: "Do you think that if you catch me, you can get away with it once and for all? Let me tell you, don't expect to get any useful information from me!"

"Then why don't you bite your tongue and commit suicide?"

A cold voice sounded, and Pei Yue stepped into the alley.

Except for the two soldiers responsible for guarding Lu Jiang, the others bowed and saluted at the same time.

Pei Yue came to Lu Jiang, signaled the two soldiers to put down their swords, and then said sternly: "I didn't let them gag you, why don't you commit suicide?"

The enemies were extremely jealous when they met each other. Lu Jiang remembered the humiliation he suffered when leaving the garden, and remembered his father's death-grinding look. Then he let out a roar from his throat and rushed towards Pei Yue.

Pei Yue raised his hand and slapped him on the face.

Lu Jiang was knocked to the ground.

Pei Yue took two steps forward, grabbed Lu Jiang's throat with his right hand, then lifted him up against the wall and said in one word: "The thing I regret most is that I didn't kill you with a knife in Liyuan."

Lu Jiang's eyes turned red and he suddenly spat at Pei Yue.

Pei Yue turned his head and said in a cold voice, "Tell me, who is helping you secretly?"

Lu Jiang's face gradually turned red, his breathing became more and more difficult, and his hands and feet moved involuntarily.

Pei Yue put him down but did not move his hand.

Lu Jiang stared at him for a long time, until his breath calmed down, and then suddenly let out a ferocious smile, and said proudly: "Although I didn't succeed this time, there are still people who are willing to try their best to deal with you. If it fails once, there will be two, you can prevent it How many times will you stay? From now on, those people you care about will always live cautiously, not daring to go out, not daring to eat, and even drinking water must be checked repeatedly. Pei Yue, these are all thanks to you, They have to live in fear all their lives, this is retribution, hahahahahaha."

He finally stopped laughing, looked at Pei Yue's stern face and said, "Want to know who is helping me secretly? Kneel down and beg me."

Pei Yue said: "Do you think I can't do anything to you?"

Lu Jiang mocked: "It's nothing more than death. Do you think this can scare me? The law of Daliang clearly states that if I do something like this, I will only be sentenced to beheading at most, not even Ling Chi. Confiscating the family and exterminating the clan?"

Implicating relatives and friends? You think you are the emperor!"

"Yeah?"

Pei Yue was unmoved and suddenly chuckled: "You seem to have forgotten one thing. I have never been a gentleman. You might as well guess whether there is any way for me to operate on the living people of the Lu family."

Lu Jiang's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "How dare you!"

Pei Yue asked, "Do you think I dare?"

In the alley, there is a chilling atmosphere.

Of course Lu Jiang knew that Pei Yue didn't dare to do it, but would definitely do it.

Pei Yue continued: "After you are executed, meet your father below and tell him not to be sad. I guarantee that within a year at most, hundreds of members of your Chengguolu family will be reunited below."

Lu Jiang suddenly struggled fiercely. Pei Yue exerted force with his right hand and pinched his throat tighter and tighter. He slowly let go until he rolled his eyes. Lu Jiang gasped for air, and he was shocked by the feeling of being on the verge of death.

fear.

Pei Yue said coldly: "Fu Hongzhi, tell him."

Fu Hongzhi immediately said: "Pingkangfang, Guluo Lane."

Lu Jiang's complexion changed drastically, and there was panic in his eyes.

Pei Yue stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that you are still a passionate seed. That girl Gu must have been with you for three years, right? How about I let her go down to accompany you first?"

The strength in Lu Jiang's body seemed to be drained instantly. After a long silence, he sneered: "Even if I tell you, do you think you can deal with that person?"

Pei Yue said: "What to do is my business. You only need to answer me who is secretly helping you."

Lu Jiang suddenly laughed nervously until tears came out, and said with a mocking look on his face: "The person who asked me to kill Pei Ning is the eldest prince, what can you do to him?"

Pei Yue remained calm and asked calmly: "What's the evidence?"

Lu Jiang sneered and said: "Are you stupid? How can you leave evidence for such a thing? However, if you really have the courage to deal with the eldest prince, I can help you identify him, but I have a condition."

"explain."

"I will die without a doubt. After I help you identify the eldest prince, you have to save two people."

"who?"

"My mother, Gu Ruyan, and the rest of the Lu family are all a bunch of idiots clinging to my father's title. I wish they could all die. The more miserable the death, the better!"

Pei Yue thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I promise you."

Lu Jiang looked at him for a moment, then smiled and said: "They say that the Marquis of Zhongshan promises a thousand pieces of gold. I hope you can keep your word."
