Soon, there was a sound of footsteps, and a maid came over with the servant.
The maid was short and timid, she was Hong Ming.
She was extremely timid. Although she saw her cousin's hairpin, she was still uneasy and followed by two guards.
The three men heard the noise, threatened the woman, and then ran towards the west of the alley.
The servant opened the door. Seeing that it was her cousin, Hong Ming smiled and said, "Second sister, why did you come to see me? Is there something wrong?"
The woman bit her lip and said, "Sister, my second sister is in trouble and needs your help."
Hong Ming puffed up her chest and said, "What's the matter? Just say it! I will definitely help you!"
The woman said: "Can you come out? I want to find a place where no one is around to talk to you."
Hong Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay then." She turned around and asked the two guards to wait for her at the door. She walked out of the side door and followed the woman to the west along the alley.
On the tree trunk, Ping Qi landed quietly on the ground and ran for a distance in the direction the two of them were walking.
Then he jumped up, grabbed the edge of the wall, and peeked out of the wall with half of his head exposed.
The two women happened to be directly under him, separated from him by only a wall.
However, when they got here, a corner appeared in the alley, and the two women turned a corner, getting farther and farther away from the high wall of the palace.
Ping Qi pushed hard with his fingers, climbed over the courtyard wall, and followed the two of them.
After walking for a while, Hong Ming gradually became uneasy. She turned back and glanced in the direction of the palace and said, "Cousin, there is no one here anymore. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
This place is still some distance away from the alley that the three men requested. The woman gritted her teeth and said: "Sister, please walk with me for a while, and just turn a corner ahead."
However, Hong Ming refused to leave no matter what, saying: "Cousin, if you don't tell me, I will go back!"
The woman was so afraid of the three men that she didn't dare to disobey them, so she stretched out her hand to pull Hong Ming's wrist.
Hong Ming was shocked and shouted: "Cousin, what are you doing?" She shook her hand hard.
It's a pity that she was too weak to get away, and was dragged forward by the woman. Hong Ming screamed: "Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!"
This place is far away from the palace, so the sound did not reach the palace, but was heard by three men hiding in the alley far away.
They immediately ran over and surrounded the two women in an instant.
Hong Ming was so frightened that she cried loudly and cried: "Cousin, why do you want to harm me?"
The woman lowered her head and said: "I...I can't help it. They just want some money. Give it to them quickly, otherwise they won't let me go."
With a swish sound, the three men had three shining steel knives in their hands.
The scarred man said coldly: "You are wrong, we only want our lives, not our money!"
The woman said in horror: "You...that's not what you just said!"
The one-eyed man sneered: "Stupid woman, of course we lied to you!"
Hong Ming cried loudly and threatened: "If you... kill me... the prince... will not let you go... wuwu..."
The one-eyed man licked the tip of the knife and hummed: "Others are afraid of Wu Chengsi, but we are not!"
The man with the scar said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take action. After all, this is next to the palace, and accidents are easy to happen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed towards Hong Ming's neck with the knife.
At this moment, Dan saw a flash of white light, and Ping Qi ran past the scarred man and stood in front of the two Hong Ming girls.
Seeing that he was wearing a familiar black outfit with white trim, Hong Ming said happily: "Brother, are you a personal guard of the palace?"
Ping Qi puffed up his chest and said, "Exactly!"
The one-eyed man's expression changed drastically. He didn't know whether to retreat or step forward to fight the guard. He shouted: "Boss, what should I do?"
As soon as the sound fell, there was a pop and the man with the scar fell to the ground, with a bloody wound on his neck.
The remaining two people were immediately frightened and ran wildly into the distance.
Ping Qi killed one person and his eyes turned slightly red. He was not willing to let them go. He chased after them and stabbed them twice in succession, trying to pierce their necks.
At this moment, there was a sound in the air, and Ping Qi felt that the tip of his sword was hit by something and tilted to one side.
Immediately afterwards, there was a continuous sound of breaking through the air, and several black lights shot toward Pingqi's vital points.
Ping Qi was startled, and while retreating, he swung his sword to knock down all the black lights.
When he looked up again, the two of them had disappeared. Ping Qi suddenly turned his head and saw a black figure standing on a roof on the side.
The black shadow rose and fell, and the figure disappeared from the roof of the house.
Ping Qi thought to himself: "That man used a concealed weapon to attack me with great force. His martial arts seems to be superior to mine, so it would be better not to pursue him."
Looking towards the ground, I saw several plum blossom darts falling on the ground.
Pick up the plum blossom dart. This dart is a four-edged dart with exquisite workmanship, just like a big butterfly.
He liked them very much, picked up all the plum blossom darts, and stuffed them into the leather pouch around his waist.
When he was picking up the dart, Hong Ming ran away in the direction of the palace.
Ping Qi looked at Hong Ming's cousin. The woman's face was full of fear. She was afraid that he would kill her too. She screamed and ran in the other direction.
Ping Qi shook his head, glanced at the scarred man's body on the ground, and thought to himself: "Should we dispose of the body?"
After thinking for a while, I felt that it was not necessary, so I turned around and returned to the palace.
After climbing over the wall and returning to the palace, he continued to patrol as if nothing had happened. It was not until night that he returned to Dongkuayuan. At this time, Long Yang and Fengying also came back.
At dinner time, all nine people came to the dining room and prepared to eat.
At this time, the surrounding guards looked at them differently.
Many personal guards saw them practicing martial arts in the courtyard. After seeing their terrifying martial arts skills, they both admired and feared them.
Everyone waited in the dining room for a long time, but the cooks still didn't come.
Feng Ying complained to the team leader: "Didn't you say that dinner would be served at 1:00 p.m.? It's already 2:00 p.m. now!"
The team leader scratched his head and said, "Maybe the prince is late again."
"His Royal Highness is late, what does it have to do with us?"
A guard at the east table said: "If His Highness doesn't come back, His Royal Highness the Princess and the others won't serve the meal. If they don't serve the meal, we will naturally have to wait."
Feng Ying was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't have much common sense, she also knew the difference between superiority and inferiority, so she stopped asking immediately.
After a while, the food delivery boy finally came with the food.
The nine people lined up to prepare their meals, then sat down at the same table together, sitting upright and looking at each other with wary eyes.
Ping Qi glanced at the eggs in the bowl, then at Feng Ying, and thought to herself: "Feng Ying loves to steal my food. If this continues, I will have to eat dry food every day."
In the midst of worry, he suddenly recalled that when Feng Wu was around, the two women loved fighting each other the most, so they often ignored him and said immediately: "Wait a minute."
Fengying smiled and said: "Xiaoping, are you scared? If you call me good sister, I will leave you a vegetable leaf."
Ping Qi snorted: "I'm not afraid of you."
"Then why did you stop?" said the fat woman. She can maintain such a fat figure, so her martial arts skills are not bad, and she is only a little behind Fengying and Long Yang.
Ping Qi said: "Now that we are personal guards like Feng Wu, we can't exclude her before eating. I think we should wait for her to come over before we start!"
Feng Ying said impatiently: "How long will it take?"
Ping Qi smiled and said: "Feng Ying, are you afraid of Feng Wu?"
Feng Ying was immediately furious: "Am I afraid of her? Well, if you want to wait, then just wait!"
Immediately, the nine people swallowed their saliva and looked in the direction of the door.
Many people in the distance still wanted to watch their food fight. When they saw that they were not moving, someone asked: "Why don't you fight... and stop eating?"
Feng Ying hummed: "We have to wait for Feng Wu to come over!"
The man smiled and said, "You don't have to wait. Captain Feng and the prince are eating at the same table and won't come over."
Feng Ying was very jealous and shouted: "Why can she eat with His Highness?"
The guard thought to himself: "Of course the prince appreciates her." However, it was not appropriate to say this, so he did not answer.
Feng Ying had a bad temper, and in the ensuing food fight, she robbed Ping Qi of all the dishes. Ping Qi chewed the rice silently, filled with grief and anger.
At this moment, a roar was heard from outside: "Chen Shen, get out of here!"
All the guards were surprised, and a guard with a solemn expression stood up and strode out.
The rest of the bodyguards followed him out.
Fengying and others were also a little curious and followed the guards to the courtyard.
However, they were all worried that someone would take the opportunity to steal food if they were too far away from the food, so they took out the bowls.
There was a group of guards in the courtyard, wearing dark red leather armor unique to the palace guards.
The leader was a big man with a beard, Lu Xiong, the commander of the palace guards.
The man with a stern face was Chen Shen, the deputy captain of the personal guard. He crossed his arms and raised his chin: "Commander Lu, my brother didn't offend you, did he? Why did he say so uncleanly?"
He participated in the Battle of Liaodong. Although his position, qualifications, and martial arts were not as good as those of Lu Xiong, he thought highly of himself and did not look down upon the other party too much.
Lu Xiong said coldly: "You didn't offend me, but your men bullied my brothers. Mr. Lu had to come to seek justice!"
After saying that, he shouted behind him: "Don't come out yet, let Vice Captain Chen have a clear look!"
The two guards responded and walked out from behind him. Seeing the appearance of these two people, all the guards were shocked.
I saw that their entire faces were swollen and bruised after being beaten.
Especially near the eyes, there are densely packed bags the size of copper coins, squeezing the eyes into a gap.
Lu Xiong said coldly: "After beating someone like this, if Mr. Lu doesn't come forward, I'm afraid someone will poop and pee on our guards' heads in the future!"
"Hey! We are eating, please speak more clearly!" Feng Ying scolded angrily.
Lu Xiong was startled when he heard the female voice, thinking it was Feng Wu.
Looking around, he saw a strange woman, and there were several women beside him. He thought to himself: "Why has the prince accepted so many female guards? Aren't you afraid of making the princess angry?"
Chen Shen saw the miserable condition of the two guards, frowned, and said coldly: "Whoever beat him, come forward!"
The guards behind him all looked at each other in shock, and no one came out.
Lu Xiong said: "Huh! It seems that you guys, the guards, are all cowards who dare to do things but don't want to be!"
Chen Shen was furious: "Lu Xiong, don't use a gun or a stick when you speak!"
Lu Xiong was about to retort when suddenly, a beaten guard next to him pointed at someone and screamed: "It's him, he's the one who beat us."
Everyone in the valley looked in the direction of his finger and found a man holding a rice bowl.
That man's eyes were extremely small, like two soybeans, and he was exactly the bean-eyed man among bad people.
The bean-eyed man's face is wide and flat, and combined with his small eyes, he looks extremely honest.
No one would believe that such a person with a harmless face would beat others like this.
However, before others could question it, the bean-eyed man nodded and said, "Yes, I hit you!"
Lu Xiong crossed his arms and sneered: "Okay, just admit it."
Chen Shen said in a deep voice: "Why did you hit him?"
The bean-eyed man didn't answer.
Feng Ying said: "Dahuang, tell me quickly, why did you hit him?"
The bean-eyed man muttered: "He scolded me first and said he wanted to teach me a lesson, so we started fighting."
Feng Ying frowned and said, "What did he scold you for?"
The bean-eyed man hummed: "He called me a fool, and said that a person like me could not be His Highness's bodyguard. I said: 'If you don't believe it, then let's make a show of words!' They agreed, and then lost to me.
.”
Lu Xiong said angrily: "Even if there was a quarrel, why did you strike so harshly?"
The bean-eyed man hummed, "I've already started very lightly."
He was telling the truth, and the bad guys around him knew it very well.
Dahuang appears to be honest, dull and taciturn, but his character is extremely cruel and he likes to torture others to death.
However, to Lu Xiong's ears, these words were tantamount to naked provocation.
Even Chen Shen couldn't listen and said, "Brother, please apologize to them."
Dahuang glanced at him, turned to Long Yang and asked, "Brother Yang, do I want to listen to him?"
Long Yang took a sip of food and said nonchalantly: "The deputy commander is not here, so we only need to listen to His Highness's words and ignore what others say."
Chen Shen was immediately furious. If he hadn't been afraid of the martial arts skills of these people, he would have stepped forward to teach them some rules.
Lu Xiong sneered a few times and said, "That's great. It seems you don't take Mr. Lu seriously at all, so don't blame me for being rude."
Feng Ying was taken aback and said: "You...you don't want to complain to His Highness, right?"
Lu Xiong said angrily: "Asshole, who do you think I am!"
Fengying smiled and praised: "Yes, this is a good man." She thought to herself: "If you praise him a few times, he will be embarrassed to complain."
Lu Xiong snorted: "It's too late to say good things now."
Fengying smiled and said, "Then how do you want to end it?"
Lu Xiong twisted his wrist, picked up a stone, drew a circle on the ground, and then entered the circle.
"As long as one of you can knock Mr. Lu out of this circle, this matter will be over for now."
Fengying was shocked and said: "Is what you said true?"
Lu Xiong said coldly: "The person named Lu spits out every word and has no regrets. But if you can't do it, you have to kowtow and apologize to my two brothers!"
Fengying said: "Wait a moment and we will discuss it."
Several people immediately formed a circle, and Feng Ying whispered: "Brother Yang, I see that guy's martial arts is not very good, why is he speaking so loudly? Could it be that I made a mistake?"
Long Yang touched his chin and said: "Although I also think he is weak, Confucius said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles. Before we fight, we can't be careless."
The oval-faced woman questioned in a low voice: "Brother Yang, did your grandson say this?"
Ping Qi was secretly surprised: "Why did Xiaoning say such foul words?"
Long Yang blushed and said loudly: "How do you know that Confucius didn't say it?" He put his face in front of the oval-faced woman and asked: "Have you read the Analects of Confucius? Have you listened to "The Great Learning"? Do you know "The Analects of Confucius"?
What is the Book of Changes?"
The oval-faced woman stepped back repeatedly to dodge his saliva, how could she dare to talk back again?
Long Yang snorted, crossed his arms and said, "For the sake of safety, should I take action myself?"
Feng Ying put her hands on her hips and said, "That should be me too. Can you beat me?"
"Look, Rhubarb has passed." Pinky shouted.
It turned out that when the two were quarreling, Dahuang handed the bowl to Pinky and walked silently into the circle.
Lu Xiong crossed his arms and nodded: "Very good. I finally dare to stand up and take responsibility. It's not too cowardly."
At this moment, Long Yang hurriedly shouted: "Dahuang, don't strike too hard!"
Feng Ying followed: "Don't use your bone-crushing hands!"
Ping Qi continued: "There are also broken Yin feet, but they can't be used either!"
Dahuang responded dully: "I know."
Lu Xiong's beard and hair were all spread out, and fire almost burst out of his eyes: "You bastards, don't bully others too much." He was like a King Kong with angry eyes.
Dahuang didn't even say hello, but suddenly stepped forward and hit Lu Xiong in the throat with a jab.
When Lu Xiong reacted, his fist was only one foot away from him. He was suddenly frightened. He turned his right hand inward, blocked it, and at the same time stepped back with both feet.
Seeing Lu Xiong's quick reaction, Long Yang touched his chin and praised: "Well, this Commander Lu's martial arts is not that bad, he is probably about the same as Xiaoping."
Fengying nodded and said: "Even if I take action, it will probably take thirty moves to deal with him."
The fat woman sighed: "It's a pity that when I encounter Dahuang, I probably won't be able to survive twenty moves."
Feng Ying did not refute, nor was she angry. She seemed to agree with the fat woman's statement.
At this moment, Lu Xiong roared: "You are so despicable!"
The two of them were punching and kicking, and they had already left the circle. However, Dahuang showed no intention of stopping. He punched Lu Xiong one after another, targeting Lu Xiong's throat and chest.
However, when Lu Xiong tried to deflect or block his fist, he was kicked by Dahuang one after another in the leg. If his lower body had not been stable, he would have fallen down long ago.
Only then did Lu Xiong understand that when Dahuang attacked his throat and chest, he also attacked his feet.
Moreover, his footpath happened to be hidden under the fist path, and his sight was blocked by the fist path, so he was attacked by surprise.
Fortunately, the punches and kicks were used at the same time, and the force on the feet was not strong. Otherwise, Lu Xiong would have been defeated long ago no matter how solid his lower body was.
When he spoke out, not only did Dahuang show no shame, his eyes flashed and he suddenly kicked up a pile of leaves.
Then his body sank, his feet kicked forward, and he punched a dozen powerful and heavy punches in an instant.
Lu Xiong was distracted, and his sight was blocked by the leaves. Where he could resist, he was punched on the shoulder, chest and face, and his whole body flew backwards more than ten feet away.
All the guards were shocked. They knew that Lu Xiong was very skilled in martial arts. Even if he fought against Captain Feng, he could still sustain more than twenty moves.
Who would have thought that he would be defeated by a humble guy like Dahuang with more than a dozen moves?
Because Dahuang withdrew his punch, Lu Xiong was not seriously injured.
He stood up like a carp and glared at Dahuang: "You bastard, you are so despicable!"
Dahuang frowned and said, "You scolded me again." He turned to Long Yang and asked, "Brother Yang, can I kill him?"
Long Yang said angrily: "Idiot, I told you that you are one of our own, so you can't do anything harsh, and naturally you can't kill anyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed, and Dahuang rushed over fiercely, hitting Long Yang's throat with a jab.
He has a violent and cruel temper, and he hates others scolding him the most, and even disowns his relatives when he takes action.
Long Yang was not surprised, he deflected his attack casually, and used his foot to seal his vaginal foot in advance, humming: "Dahuang, the deputy commander is no longer here, do you think no one can cure you?"
When Lu Xiong saw Dahuang turning around and fighting with his own people, without taking him seriously at all, he became even more angry.
But his skills were inferior to others, and he had no choice. He stamped his feet and said, "Just wait for me!" He turned around and walked away with the others.
Chen Shen saw Lu Xiong walking away angrily, with a worried look on his face, and was about to give Da Huang a few words of advice.
Only then did he notice that Dahuang and Long Yang were fighting more and more fiercely, especially Dahuang, who never left Long Yang's vital points with his moves, and was likely to kill him.
Long Yang was still calm, holding the bowl in one hand and using the other hand to defend himself.
During the fierce fight, he could still say: "Dahuang, these fierce moves of yours are still useful against people with lower martial arts skills than you, but they are a bit too young to use against you, Brother Yang."
Chen Shen gave a wry smile. Each of these people was more powerful in martial arts and they were all so young, which made him feel a little disappointed. He shook his head and returned to the dining room in low spirits.
Feng Ying, Ping Qi and others had already become accustomed to the strange situation and returned to the dining room with bowls in hand.
After a while, Dahuang and Long Yang both came back. Long Yang was unharmed, and Dahuang had a purple-green fist mark on his right eye socket.
Everyone laughed and praised Long Yang and teased Dahuang. Long raised his eyebrows and danced with joy, while Dahuang ate with his head down.
At noon the next day, after lunch, Fengying and the nine people prepared to patrol again and practice martial arts.
Suddenly, there was a dense sound of footsteps, and Lu Xiong led a large group of guards to the East Crossing Courtyard.
Lu Xiong's face was full of resentment. When he saw the nine people, he shouted loudly: "You bastards, you actually poisoned them, I can't spare you!"
Feng Ying frowned and said: "Hey, isn't the matter yesterday settled? Are you still finished?"
Lu Xiong said angrily: "End it? Okay, I will end it with you today! Brothers, arrest them all!"
Feng Ying put her hands on her hips and shouted sweetly: "Do you want to rely on the large number of people? You may not be able to defeat us!"
At this moment, Chen Shen and other personal guards heard the noise and came out of the house. Seeing that Lu Xiong seemed to be serious about it, they were surprised and said: "Lu Xiong, are you crazy?"
Lu Xiong said angrily: "They killed someone, I will arrest them and take them to the princess for judgment!"
Fengying was surprised: "Killing?"
Lu Xiong said sternly: "Do you still want to pretend to be confused? This morning, Brother Lu Song was found dead in an alley on Yanxing Street. Who else could have done it if it wasn't you?"
Feng Ying secretly thought to herself that the Lu Song brothers must be the two people who were beaten into pig heads by Dahuang. She turned to look at Dahuang and said sternly: "Dahuang, are you looking for them again?"
Da Huang muttered: "No."
Feng Ying breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Dahuang never lied, and said to Lu Xiong: "We did not kill the person, you are mistaken!"
Lu Xiong said angrily: "Of course he won't admit it, and you may all be accomplices!"
Chen Shen thought: "The two people who were killed were also named Lu. They may be relatives of Lu Xiong. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to resolve today."
He said to a guard beside him: "Go and ask General Manager Wen to come over!"
…
Tomorrow is the new year. I wish you all peace and success! If you have any goals, you must stick to them!
