The appearance of Wan Jianshan was really beyond Ye Hongyi's expectation.
No wonder Ye Hongyi felt that she was no match for someone who dared to assassinate a strong man who was two places higher than him on the master list.
So she chose to retreat.
She ducked into a deep alley, relying on her familiarity with the capital, Ye Hongyi planned to get rid of Wan Jianshan.
"Don't you dare to fight?" Wan Jianshan was chasing after him, getting closer and closer, taunting him.
Ye Hongyi laughed at him: "Why don't you dare to go to Fangjiazhuang to kill me?"
Wan Jianshan was silent.
There is a person in Fangjiazhuang who is ranked fourth in the world, but he is ranked eighth. If he goes there, is he looking for death?
And I heard that Lin Hu, who was ranked sixth, had died in Dianyi's hands.
Wan Jianshan naturally did not dare to tease such a master, so he had no choice but to intercept and kill Ye Hongyi in the city.
"What you said makes sense, but I have to bully the small today." Wan Jianshan flew several times, stepping on the wall and speeding up, and actually blocked Ye Hongyi.
Ye Hongyi immediately ran to the left without thinking.
And at the same time he shouted: "Where is the patrol camp?"
What's the point of saving face? Being hit by a sword can be fatal.
Wan Jianshan continued to chase and couldn't help but sneered: "Don't bother, the patrol battalion won't be here tonight."
"It seems that King Qi also has someone in the patrol camp..."
Ye Hongyi got the information he wanted to know.
"call out--"
A sound broke through the air and hit behind Ye Hongyi.
She stumbled, almost falling, and suddenly turned back and drew her sword to block.
Wan Jianshan, who had just released his sleeve arrows, was already coming to kill him, and the two swords collided violently.
Ye Hongyi took advantage of the force and flew backwards, running towards the next alley.
Wan Jianshan was about to give chase, but found a gap in his sword.
"Huh?" Wan Jianshan was confused. His internal strength was higher than Ye Hongyi's, so logically speaking, such a situation would not happen.
There is only one possibility, that is, Ye Hongyi's sword is better than his.
"I can still get a good sword today, Ye Hongyi, you can't escape."
"If you are hit by my poisonous arrow, let's see how long you can run."
Under the moonlight, there was a streak of reflective blood on the ground at the entrance of the street, making it easier for Wan Jianshan to chase.
It took almost no effort to catch up with Ye Hongyi. At this time, she was lying on her back on the ground, as if she was completely powerless and could only squirm.
"Your physique is too poor. You are a woman after all. You can't handle my poison." Wan Jianshan said calmly.
"The third most beautiful woman in the world... Haha, I'm sorry, Master Young Master, she is mine to enjoy."
With that said, Wan Jianshan walked forward, but did not let go of the sword in his hand, still remaining vigilant.
With a light lick from the corner of his mouth, Wan Jianshan had already begun to imagine the beauty. Ever since he was listed as a villain by Emperor Zun Pavilion, he had not lived a human life.
After fleeing for thousands of miles before finding a place of refuge in the capital, Wanjian Mountain has not had a taste of it for half a year.
I'm getting a little excited.
But he is cautious by nature and is never careless. Especially when he is having fun with a woman, he always likes to get rid of her aggression first.
For example, drugging it makes it lose its strength and can only be manipulated.
"Are you really out of energy?"
"Try her..."
Although he was very confident about his poison, Wan Jianshan was still cautious and aimed his arrow at Ye Hongyi.
Ye Hongyi suddenly raised her hand.
"Sure enough, there is a scam!" Wan Jianshan saw the opportunity and blocked the sword in front of him.
Hidden weapons such as sleeve arrows require a sudden attack and are useless against these masters if they are prepared.
"Seven steps..." Ye Hongyi looked up and saw Wan Jianshan walking close enough, so he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang!"
A loud noise exploded in the dark night.
Wan Jianshan felt a huge force hit his sword, and he showed fear in horror.
"Qiang——"
The sword was bent and almost fell out of his hand, causing pain in his mouth.
"Bang!"
The second sound sounded, and Wan Jianshan knew that he couldn't stop it. The hidden weapon was too fast and too powerful.
He could only continue to hold the sword in front of him.
But this time it didn't stop.
In an instant, Wan Jianshan felt that half of his body was paralyzed, and his left abdomen was hit by a "hidden weapon". His body seemed to have been drained of blood, and he staggered.
He wanted to escape without hesitation.
But it's too late.
"Bang! Bang..."
Wan Jianshan could no longer hear clearly how many times he heard them, because his consciousness began to fade.
"Why..."
Wan Jianshan was not convinced. He had never seen such a fast hidden weapon in his life.
Even if it was a powerful crossbow, he could block it with his sword skills, but he couldn't block this tiny hidden weapon.
Wan Jianshan was hit in the lungs, and even his breathing was bloody. He covered the wounds and pointed at Ye Hongyi.
Before he could say anything, he fell to the ground, his eyes staring with great reluctance.
Ye Hongyi stood up and took off the sleeve arrow from his back. The arrow was not stained with blood.
"Fortunately, I'm wearing inner armor. The capital is certainly not safe either."
He walked over and took a look at Wan Jianshan, who still had his eyes open, but Ye Hongyi didn't get too close.
Five steps away, he raised his hand and shot out a sleeve arrow, nailing Wan Jianshan's forehead.
He didn't respond at all.
"It's so dead..." Ye Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the Qiushui Sword on the ground, separated a corner of his clothes, and wrapped the wound on his hand.
In order to make Wan Jianshan relax his vigilance, Ye Hongyi deliberately shot an arrow, then cut his finger to bleed, pretending to be injured and fled.
"You are really a flower-picking thief, he is going to kill me, and he is greedy for my body... If you had been more decisive, I would not have had the chance to kill you."
Ye Hongyi shook her head. She dared to design it this way because she knew enough about Wanjian Mountain.
This man was a lustful ghost who committed crimes while picking flowers in Lingnan. He also killed several rangers who captured him before he was listed on the list of villains.
"There was such a big movement, but no one from the patrol camp came. It seems that they really conspired with King Qi."
Ye Hongyi's face was slightly cold. The main street of Zhuque was just a few steps away, but she didn't dare to go out rashly.
I don't know if that group of arrows has really left. If they are still hidden, it would be dangerous.
"Aren't there any people from the Xuanjian Division in the capital nearby? No one came to investigate... Are there people from King Qi in the Xuanjian Division?"
Ye Hongyi didn't believe it. If King Qi was so capable, he would have been favored by His Majesty a long time ago.
Xiao Luoye was the only one who could place powerful figures in the Xuanjian Division, and it was because he could take advantage of the emperor's influence.
"The area around the main street is under the jurisdiction of the patrol camp. The Hanging Sword Division is in charge of the dark alleys and underground forces... so we have to wait until dawn before leaving."
After careful consideration, Ye Hongyi decided to wait.
However, they didn't wait until daybreak. A moment later, a group of people passed by, and it was the Imperial Army who heard the gunfire.
Lu Xin, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, led the team, all carrying torches. They came forward after hearing the sound of gunfire, but there was no one there.
"Commander Lu, there are arrows on the ground!"
Someone walked in front and exclaimed: "No, a war horse has been shot. Be on guard!"
Lu Xin suddenly frowned and looked around: "Where are the people from the patrol camp?"
Logically speaking, the night curfew in the capital is under the control of the patrol camp.
The Forbidden Army can also take care of it, but the protection range of the Forbidden Army is too large. Generally, the patrol battalion will deal with it first before the Forbidden Army arrives.
"It seems that this is the place where the noise was made. Someone should be fighting. A team of ten people are checking everywhere." Lu Xin waved his hand.
Suddenly, a figure walked out of the alley, dressed in red like blood, like a ghost.
Some soldiers were startled: "Who?"
Lu Xin looked at it and asked tentatively: "Master Ye?"
In the entire capital, only Ye Hongyi from the Xuanjian Division wore this style of red clothes. Lu Xin signaled his men not to move.
Ye Hongyi staggered out with a sleeve of arrows on his shoulders: "Someone has assassinated my envoy, please report it to the Xuanjian Division immediately..."
As he said this, he fell down in front of everyone and "fainted".
"Hey, Mr. Ye?" Someone quickly went to help him.
Lu Xin was shocked: "Who is so bold and dares to assassinate the sword wielder in the capital... It seems that the situation in the capital is going to be in turmoil again."
"Commander, Mr. Ye has been hit by an arrow. Will it be poisonous? Do you want to call a doctor?" the soldier asked smartly.
"Quick, go and ask for Doctor Huo!" Lu Xin reacted quickly after hearing this.
If Ye Hongyi died in front of him, it would immediately offend the Xuanjian Division and the Young Master, which would not affect his career.
This is fatal.
Patrol camp, I'll go to your uncle... Lu Xin yelled, but the patrol camp didn't seem to hear such a loud noise. It was simply outrageous.
…
By the time Fang Jue arrived, it was already after midnight.
In the Hanging Sword Division, the atmosphere was stagnant and gloomy, and everyone held their breath.
"Young Master..." Xiao Chaoguo was woken up by someone. After knowing what happened, he immediately went to the door to greet Fang Jue in person.
He knew, however, that his beloved disciple had already settled a private matter with Fang Jue.
If Fang Jue is not given an explanation for this matter, I am afraid that Xuanjian Division will have a difficult time.
"Huo Shenxian is here too?" As soon as he entered the house, Fang Jue saw an acquaintance.
"Young Master, I've shown it to Mr. Ye. It's fine. It's just blood loss. The arrow is just drugged and not poisonous." Huo Shenxian handed over his hand.
Fang Jue cupped his hands and thanked her, then looked at Ye Hongyi on the bed.
"What's going on?" Fang Jue looked at Ye Hongyi, who was lying in his room with a pale face, and his face gradually darkened, "Who did it?"
