    65. Zhu Yu's white blade rises to a blue light

    Here, Pei Nianyu and Pei Niancheng came and went to each other in secret, Lou Yefeng saw it, and knew that the master was relying on all the officials to not see it.

    As soon as the officials raised their heads, the two brothers immediately resumed their official expressions of sitting upright, a respectful look of brothers and friends, and a look of harmony between the monarch and his ministers.The speed of the face change even made Lou Yefeng amazed.

    After Pei Nianyu stopped his revenge, the following banquet dishes were served one after another without any small tricks.

    The officials finally breathed a sigh of relief, seized the opportunity that no one was speaking at the moment, and had a good time in one breath.

    However, not long after, Pei Nianyu looked at Lou Yefeng who had been standing up by his side—Bu Cai—kneeling back again, and his slightly happy mood after playing with Pei Niancheng just now sank again.

    It just so happened that the five grains golden noodles were brought up at this moment, Pei Nianyu wondered if he should teach the ministers what kind of grains these whole grains contain, and then feed his family Ye Feng some noodles in clear soup.

    After all, the process of this palace banquet is cumbersome, and the serving of food alone is a pain in the ass.From the beginning to now, only twenty or thirty dishes have been served, but Lou Yefeng has been kneeling here for more than an hour... that is, two or three hours.

    At this moment, apart from thinking about whether his family Ye Feng is hungry, Pei Nianyu started to worry about what to do if his family's Ye Feng knelt down until his legs went numb...

    Pei Nianyu had no choice but to find various reasons for him to serve him vegetables. Standing beside him for two or three hours was better than kneeling all the time.

    So when the golden noodles from the five grains came to the banquet table, Pei Nianyu first instructed him to scoop up a small bowl of clear soup for himself, and then motioned him to put the corn kernels on top into the bowl.But he deliberately ate one by one, so it was delayed for a while.

    After the corn kernels were eaten, Pei Nianyu began to direct Lou Yefeng to pick out the noodles again, a lock of millet noodles, a lock of wheat noodles, a lock of sorghum noodles... one by one in rotation.

    Lou Yefeng knew that the master was trying every means to be considerate of him, and he couldn't help feeling warm when he couldn't help laughing.

    The words he said to his master earlier were not half false, he, Lou Yefeng, was really just fulfilling his duties as an ordinary shadow guard, but it was such a small matter that the master had to pay special attention to.Take care of.

    Behind Pei Nianyu at the banquet table was a Duke of the State.He saw that the royal servant next to Pei Nianyu was busy, and his figure was quite tall, which blocked his sight firmly.But he didn't pay much attention to it, he just said that His Royal Highness King Yu never tires of eating fine food and fine meat, so he has a lot of demands.

    At this time, it was almost three rounds of drinking, and the atmosphere in the hall was no longer as dull as before, but gradually became lively.After obtaining His Majesty's acquiescence, all the people in the palace communicated with the courtiers who could get in in twos and threes.

    As soon as the Golden Noodles with Good Grains came out, the ministers were amazed at the meaning of this ordinary clear soup noodles, and they were discussing something.

    Seeing this opportunity, Pei Nianyu quickly stuffed a spoonful of sweet corn kernels into Lou Yefeng's mouth.Then he turned around quickly and tasted the golden noodles calmly and gracefully, as if nothing had happened.

    But this time Lou Yefeng just ate the food, but suddenly felt a gaze sweeping over his body, and then suddenly disappeared, hidden among the many gazes in the palace.

    Although it was only a short glance, he felt it extremely keenly.Lou Yefeng Bucai's movements paused, alarm bells rang in his heart instantly, and at the same time, his expression became more and more normal, and outsiders looked no different from ordinary imperial meal attendants.

    Lou Yefeng glanced at his master out of the corner of his eye, seeing that the master didn't notice anything, he was a little relieved.After all, the master possesses the internal force behind him, so if someone looks maliciously, he can definitely feel the aura.

    So... Could it be that the gaze was aimed at him?

    But how is this possible?

    Although Pei Nianyu always took the opportunity to feed him, but who is Lou Yefeng, it's easy to see all directions and hear all directions, and every time he is sure that no one is paying attention (except Pei Niansheng and Lin Han's shadow guards of His Majesty)Then pick things up.If it would attract attention, he would have already reminded the master.

    What's more, even if others saw him being fed, if the courtiers saw it, they would be surprised at most, and their eyes must be directed at King Yu.

    If other servants were to see it...these court servants have long been disciplined to be extremely calm or numb, seeing anything would be as if they hadn't seen it.In short, it will definitely not be like the gaze he felt just now——

    It was an unusually sharp gaze, extremely aggressive, so strong that even a person with unrecovered internal energy like him could clearly feel it.

    However, when Lou Yefeng finished serving the dishes, he raised his head and observed calmly for a while, but found nothing abnormal.

    He could roughly feel that the eyes were coming from the opposite side.

    All the banquet tables on the opposite side are seats for military officers. The leader is Li Zongbing, who is over sixty years old and has only one vacancies. He has no real military power under his command.

    Then there are the commanders of the five armies in the front, middle, rear, left and right, and then the commanders of the guards of the Imperial Army.

    These people... Lou Yefeng knelt on the ground with his eyes lowered, his mind racing through thoughts.

    To be honest, these people are not very familiar with the master.Before that palace change, the first prince, the second prince and the third prince were still there, and the master had not yet been established as a prince.At that time, it was the time to hide your strength and bide your time, even the courtiers dared not contact him casually, let alone get involved in military power.

    Later, when he became the crown prince, Pei Nianyu only made public appearances, and still had no close friendship with the courtiers. In fact, at that time, Pei Niancheng was already preparing to completely oust the late emperor.

    Later, when Pei Niancheng came to the throne, Pei Nianyu simply became the shopkeeper and ignored everything. He didn't know about the reshuffle and division of the power distribution of Capital's imperial army.

    Although Lou Yefeng also secretly collected relevant information, he only knew that they were basically Pei Niancheng's direct or half direct descendants.As for some details of their internal relationship and whether there are any conflicts of interest... The master is not in the court, and he has no way of knowing a lot of information because he is slow to contact.

    Pei Nianyu's only friends who can be counted as friendships were when he was in Cloud Province, he had a good relationship with several generals and captains of the Cloud Province border guards.Those at Capital are just acquaintances.

    So it stands to reason that none of these people on the opposite side would have the motive to harm His Majesty or Master... Lou Yefeng has limited information, and he can't figure it out.Heart.

    It is also strange to say that when Lou Yefeng was in Fangchen Hall, he insisted on sneaking into the hall regardless of He Qi's dissuasion, because he had a very strong premonition of uneasiness at that time.He was really worried about his master, so he sneaked in.

    However, when he really entered the palace, the feeling of uneasiness miraculously disappeared.Most of the banquet was over, and it was about to come to an end, but it was still calm, and there was no sign of anything going to happen.

    ——Except for the unfriendly gaze directed at him.

    Lou Yefeng was contemplating this question, but ignored the gaze and swept over him again, this time the feeling was clearer than last time, making him sure that it was not his hallucination just now.

    But when he looked up, he found nothing.

    Lou Yefeng: "..."

    Really saw the devil.

    Does anyone in this hall know him?The problem was that even though he had removed his disguise, he still had the lowest level of camouflage for his face.

    This layer of camouflage is Lou Yefeng's best skill, which is to make his appearance seem plausible.People who are familiar with him can recognize him at a glance, such as the master and His Majesty Li Han and the others.

    And for those who don't know him, or those who have only met him once or twice, his disguise will definitely make people not think of the word Lou Yefeng.

    His bottom layer of disguise can give unfamiliar people a perception that is vast distance away from the appearance they remember.

    There are very few people who can recognize him at a glance. Li Han and the shadow guards are all on the beam, and no one is sitting opposite.So even if this trouble is aimed at Lou Yefeng, he should not be recognized.

    The more Lou Yefeng thought about it, the more confused he became, so he used the banquet table to cover his sight, and tentatively raised his head to find where Li Han was.

    Li Han hid on the beam of the house, quickly received Lou Yefeng's signal, and asked with his eyes.

    Lou Yefeng made a few gestures - "I think someone is spying on you, please be more vigilant."

    Li Han saw his gesture, nodded for a moment, and replied with the same gesture:

    "Received, the situation is under control, take care of yourself, and don't act casually."

    Lou Yefeng felt slightly relieved when he saw it.

    He was not afraid that Li Han would not let him make a move on purpose, even though the two of them were in the same batch of Shadow Guards, the so-called Wen Wu No. 1 Wu Wu No. 2, because Li Han fought against him ten times and lost nine times in training.Because of this, did not lose temper with him.

    But he also knew how rigid and cautious Li Han's temperament was, and he would not make fun of Pei Niancheng's safety.

    At the same time, Li Han also sent instructions to the shadow guards at other points in the hall——

    "Strengthen alert and prepare to close the net"

    ………………

    Pei Nianyu didn't notice the secret communication between Lou Yefeng and Li Han at all, only noticed that Lou Yefeng knelt on the ground again for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.

    He saw that it was getting dark outside, and he saw that the banquet was coming to an end.However, before the end of the banquet, there will be a large-scale song and dance troupe performing tribute from foreign countries, and each country will come next to each other.

    He really couldn't wait any longer, so he began to make up his mind to find an excuse to sneak away quickly so that he could take Lou Yefeng back to his residence.

    This idea is like "Today I'm going to skip class and go to an Internet cafe to play games", as long as it's in my mind, I can't hold it back anymore, but it gets bigger and bigger.

    Looking at the messy cups and plates in the hall and the slightly noisy voices, Pei Nianyu felt that the restlessness in his heart was getting stronger. Coupled with the exhaustion of the night and the slight drunkenness after drinking, he just wanted to return to the quiet Yuwang MansionIn the bedroom, sleep soundly with his Ye Feng in his arms.

    With such a thought in his heart, Pei Nianyu suddenly looked drunk, tilted his body, and fell on the banquet table.The golden bottle in front of him dropped in response, and the wine spilled all over him.

    Then Pei Nianyu pretended to be very sorry, forced himself to get up, and apologized to Pei Niancheng:

    "Your Majesty, I am sorry that I am too drunk to drink, and I am afraid that the emperor will lose his manners. I hope that Your Majesty will allow me to leave the banquet first..."

    While saying this, Pei Nianyu put an arm on Lou Yefeng's body.

    Pei Niancheng understood, and said in a very reasonable way:

    "King Yu just recovered from a serious illness, so first..."

    Before he finished speaking, Lou Yefeng suddenly felt a deep throb in his heart, and that gaze appeared again just now!

    He raised his head abruptly, and this time he finally saw it—it was the imperial catering attendant next to Zongbing Li on the opposite table, staring at him with extremely stern eyes.

    Lou Yefeng was shocked, and was just about to speak to remind the master not to put on a show here and leave here quickly.However, the imperial attendant suddenly drew out the dagger in his sleeve, and with a flash of cold light, he went straight towards Pei Niancheng who was sitting on the throne.

    ...It's not for the master, it's okay.

    However, before Lou Yefeng could heave a sigh of relief, Pei Nianyu, who was standing next to him, suddenly broke free with a great force, tapped his toes, jumped up from his seat, and with his strong inner strength, he slapped him.Throw the disguised assassin to the ground.

    At the same time, there were two crisp sounds of weapons piercing into flesh.

    With the first sound, the short sword in the assassin's hand pierced through Pei Nianyu's shoulder, and the blood instantly stained his complicated court clothes red.

    With the second sound, Li Han's Wuming long sword pierced down from the top of his head with boundless killing intent, and directly nailed the assassin to the ground, making it impossible to survive.

    Enduring the sharp pain piercing his body, Pei Nianyu reluctantly raised his head to look at the man on the throne, and said softly:

    "Xiao Sheng... are you... all right..."

    To be honest, Pei Nianyu's reaction speed was far slower than these shadow guards.However, just now when he saw the sword light rushing towards Pei Niancheng, and getting so close, he felt anxious and rushed forward without thinking.

    After all, he is the seat closest to his younger brother.

    The hall was completely silent for a while, and they didn't dare to let out the slightest breath. Even when Pei Nianyu blurted out the title "Xiao Sheng", the officials pretended not to hear him.

    But Lou Yefeng watched his master get injured, and felt his heart was twisted like a knife, his palm was pinched with bloodstains instantly, but he didn't dare to call out "Master" in front of the crowd, so he had to endure it forcefully.live.

    Immediately afterwards, Pei Niancheng's shadow guard was about to drop from the beam to dispose of the corpses one by one. Unexpectedly, the assassin on the ground had his last breath left, and suddenly raised his arm tremblingly and pointed at Lou Yefeng, his eyes filled with hatred.pole:

    "You...why...don't make a move...!"

    After speaking, he died.

    Lou Yefeng: "..."

    Pei Niancheng's shadow guards immediately surrounded Lou Yefeng.

    Pei Nianyu was shocked immediately, and then became anxious.However, the pain in his shoulder made him almost lose his ability to think, he only thought it was a conspiracy against Lou Yefeng, and the only thought in his mind was that Ye Feng must not let something happen to him.

    Thinking like this, Pei Nianyu regained some strength in an instant. With a wave of his left hand, he pulled out the dagger from his shoulder abruptly, and then made a gesture to pull Lou Yefeng, trying to take him by force.leave the palace.

    Li Han: "..."

    Pei Niancheng: "..."

    He was also on the verge of panic. Worried about his brother's injury, he secretly cursed him for losing his mind—if Pei Nianyu left with his "assassin associates" in full view, or let him yell out a sentence"Ye Feng is my man" Yun Yun, then the fun will be great.

    So Pei Niancheng hastily shouted:

    "Hurry up and take down the assassin! Li Han, pass on the Imperial Physician!"

    Li Han understood in seconds, bent down immediately, and tapped two acupuncture points to stop the bleeding from Pei Nianyu's wound.

    Pei Nianyu was in a state of anxiety when he heard something like "take down the assassin soon" in his trance.Just as he was about to say something, Li Han's third acupressure directly hit his dumb acupoint, and the fourth acupressure directly hit the three action acupoints, so Pei Nianyu couldn't say a word, so he couldn't move.

    At the same time, Lou Yefeng felt relieved seeing that the assassin was dead.Naturally, he didn't make any resistance, and was restrained by the shadow guard very calmly, and he was pushed down.

    ………………

    Here, Pei Nianyu was escorted by the shadow guards and transferred to the side hall to deal with his injuries, while Li Han, who was supposed to be ordered to "transfer to the imperial physician", entered a dark room next to the main hall in a flash.

    In the dark room, Lou Yefeng's acupuncture points were also tapped and he knelt on the ground, surrounded by several shadow guards.

    Seeing this, Li Han stepped forward to untie his acupoints, and then asked himself:

    "Where are people?"

    Lou Yefeng got up and straightened his clothes, and said concisely:

    "It was knocked out by me and placed in a bush next to the imperial dining room."

    While directing his subordinates to catch the real "assassin accomplice", Li Han's face turned frosty, and he scolded him:

    "You did a good job!"

    Lou Yefeng simply ignored him, but asked:

    "Where is my master?"

    "In the side hall."

    Without another word, Lou Yefeng turned around and left.

    The author has something to say:

    Passerby Assassin A: Why doesn't he start eating corn?

    Li Han: can't even tell that they are a young couple, so failed "Assassin Professional Compulsory One"!
