Shen Yunfan only hesitated for a moment and then endured the throbbing in his heart.
Pushing open the room, there was mist inside, and you could vaguely see Liu Meiniang's bathing figure behind the screen.
"Master, hurry up." Liu Meiniang's lazy voice made people think wildly.
Shen Yunfan took a bath towel, then turned around the screen and stretched out the towel.
This was not because of how upright he was, but mainly because Liu Meiniang had seduced him many times before when she was in prison, but every time she made him angry, Liu Meiniang would immediately escape.
Just let him see it, but don't let him get it. This is also Liu Meiniang's usual trick.
If it were anyone else, Shen Yunfan would have to hold her down and train her!
It's a pity that he can't beat Liu Meiniang!
With his previous experience, Shen Yunfan secretly vowed not to be fooled again, so this time he worked hard and must not lose his composure!
But as soon as he reached over, a weak, boneless hand grabbed his arm and immediately pulled him towards the other side of the tub.
"Master, come here."
Chen Yunfan's heart trembled, wondering if Liu Meiniang had changed her gender? You know, there are so many men who are thinking about this charming little lady.
As a normal man, Shen Yunfan couldn't stand such temptation!
But when he thought about it again, he felt something was wrong!
Liu Meiniang has always called him brother Yunfan, and she only called him master tonight. How come Liu Meiniang is now a master?
Realizing something was wrong, Shen Yunfan felt his scalp numb! He stepped back almost subconsciously. At the same time, the figure in the bathtub stood up and slashed with a knife!
If Shen Yunfan hadn't retreated, this knife would have disemboweled him!
"Chen Yunfan, take your life!" The woman in the bathtub laughed ferociously, grabbed Shen Yunfan's arm, and then stabbed him up with a knife.
Seeing that there is no way to escape, at the desperate moment, a figure from outside breaks into the door!
The sword light flashed past, and only a clang sound was heard, and the dagger in the woman's hand broke!
"Long Yuan Sword...Chen Zicai?" The woman's tone was a little surprised, and her expression became frightened. Without any hesitation, she flicked her sleeves and a large amount of powder spilled out, stinging people so hard that they couldn't open their eyes.
Chen Zicai felt blind and stabbed the sword, but it didn't hit him. When the powder dispersed, the woman was gone.
"Run away." Chen Zicai walked out of the house, threw the three heads in his hand aside, and said as he walked out: "More than one person wants to kill you."
Chen Zicai met these three killers, so he ran back and just happened to save Shen Yunfan.
Shen Yunfan was speechless and was stunned for a long time before he saluted respectfully and said: "Shen, thank you very much, Mr. Chen, for saving your life. I will keep this great kindness in my heart and will definitely repay you!"
"I'm not saving you, I'm just doing it for Your Majesty." Chen Zicai's tone was much gentler than before, and he waved his hand and left.
"Oh, I owe you a favor now." Shen Yunfan sighed, went into the house to search, and found the stunned Liu Meiniang in the corner.
It seems that the previous floral fragrance was poison!
However, as a warrior, Liu Meiniang's physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. Logically speaking, ordinary poison cannot knock her out for long, so why is she still sleeping now?
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yunfan suddenly stretched out two fingers and probed into Liu Meiniang's cherry mouth.
Sure enough, there was a wax paper bag in her mouth, which must be the source of the poison!
But before she could take it out, Liu Meiniang woke up. The two looked at each other in shock. Seeing Shen Yunfan's actions, Liu Meiniang's face showed a hint of anger, and she slapped him.
"Brother Yunfan, you are a scumbag!"
"Listen to my explanation."
"The slave won't listen!"
…
It rained all night in Beijing.
Early the next morning, after the rain, the sky cleared, and King Beishan entered the palace, with seven of his subordinates behind him.
These seven men were tall and burly, with murderous expressions on their faces. They were obviously the generals on the front line of the Southern Wei Dynasty! As they walked over, the Imperial Guard sergeants all showed fear on their faces and retreated one after another.
The eight people were very arrogant. After entering the palace, they were led by the eunuch to the martial arts field in the back hall.
"When will the Emperor's brother come?" King Beishan was crossing his legs here, looking very arrogant.
"His Majesty will come over after the morning court. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty." The eunuch looked flattering and asked with a roll of his eyes: "Your Majesty, do you want to compete in martial arts when you come to the martial arts field today?"
"No." King Beishan thought for a while and then changed his words: "Yes."
Is it true or not? The eunuch rolled his eyes inwardly, but he didn't dare to ask.
The King of Beishan thought to himself that his uncle said that today's move was called mind-attacking, so it was not considered a contest. However, the purpose of attacking the mind was indeed achieved through a contest.
Therefore, he doesn't care about the martial arts competition. Anyway, he just needs to follow his uncle's instructions.
Now a few people were waiting here quietly, chatting each other.
"Commander Wang and the other three didn't come back all night, brother, why don't you go look for them?" asked a strong man in black armor from behind.
"What are you looking for? The three of them are highly skilled in martial arts and have five ghosts to lead the way. They will be fine." King Beishan smiled, "Maybe they just finished killing people and went to the brothel to have fun."
"It's not that I'm worried about them, the main thing is that there are only seven of us here for today's competition."
"Seven are enough. Just use your martial arts to deal with these little minions in the palace!" King Beishan said with a sarcastic expression.
While he was talking, Emperor Yongkang came down to the martial arts field surrounded by people. Behind him, there were also hundreds of civil and military officials and many soldiers of the Imperial Guard, which was quite majestic.
Liu Cheng, who looked embarrassed, was also escorted by the imperial guards and sat down not far away.
The reason why so many people were brought here is because early this morning, the King of Beishan sent someone to spread the news, saying that he was going to compete with the emperor's men.
He also said that he wanted to take this opportunity to show Liu Cheng the power of the Southern Wei Dynasty, so as to deter this rebel!
Emperor Yongkang didn't know the purpose of King Beishan, but if he refused, firstly, it would damage the emperor's majesty, and secondly, he was afraid that King Beishan would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Therefore, he could only agree.
Hence, the scene where everyone is meeting in the martial arts field.
After King Beishan saluted casually, without mincing words, he instructed a black-armored general behind him: "You must first meet these brothers of the Imperial Guard."
"Okay." The black-armored general jumped onto the ring in two steps and said with a smile, "Who is going to fight me?"
The Imperial Guards looked at each other, and a courageous sergeant stepped forward: "Let me try!"
"Come on!" The black-armored general smiled arrogantly.
The sergeant asked: "Your armor is so thick, why don't you take it off?"
Competitions are different from battlefields. If they don't use weapons, armor won't be of much use at all. In fact, it will affect their flexibility.
"It's too easy to beat you, no need." The black-armored general sneered.
This arrogant attitude made everyone in the Imperial Guard look a little more angry!
