6. Dust walks across Chang'an Road, wind blows across the sky

At that time, the bright moon hung high and the mountain wind was bitter.It can be said that the two people with the highest martial arts in the world are facing each other.

Shao Yan looked at the person standing in front of him, and felt a little uncomfortable: Lou Yefeng had obviously been following him, and he thought he had thrown off all the shadow guards, but he didn't notice Lou Yefeng's approach at all.The existence of Ye Feng.

The apprentice he disliked the most back then... had to admit that he was extremely talented and invincible in the world.Back when Lou Yefeng had achieved great martial arts, he no longer dared to face him directly.Although he has a new opportunity now, he still cannot be underestimated.

Shao Yan couldn't help asking:

"... When did you follow?"

Lou Yefeng was not in a hurry to do it - the longer the delay, the more likely other shadow guards would come over.So he Shi Shiran asked:

"I heard that Master likes to do business with people, so why not do a business like what Master and Pei Nianzhen did. Now I also have a question, and I hope Master can clarify."

Shao Yan is well aware of what he is planning, but he is not afraid of anyone other than Lou Yefeng.This place is tens of miles away from Capital City, and there are not many shadow guards. He doesn't think Lou Yefeng will be able to find someone after a while.

"Near the relationship between master and student in the past, you can ask."

"What's so strange about Li Han's life experience?"

Shao Yan burst into laughter when he heard the words:

"Good apprentice, good apprentice, you were not such a temperament before, so meddling in other people's affairs. If you ask this, the business will lose money. Because——I don't know."

Lou Yefeng's heart tightened.

"You should remember that he came out of the Shadow Guard Camp in the same year as you, but he entered the camp in a different year. He came later than you. When he first came, he behaved secretly. I only knew that he had a different identity. When he wanted to investigate further, he was caughtPeople blocked it, so I don't know the details."

"——I just lied to him, but he was really in a hurry, ha! He probably has a ghost in his heart, and I can't blame the teacher for this!"

Lou Yefeng looked at him with tightly pursed lips, as if he was judging the truth of what he said.

"Then, it's time for me to ask you—I'm curious, how did you catch up?"

Lou Yefeng chuckled lightly:

"It's not a big deal. A few days ago, I went to the palace every night to take a walk and read some ready-made information from Li Han's men."

"As for today, I was there before you entered Qingyan Palace. You tricked Li Han into jumping back and ran away. I know they can't catch up with you, so naturally you can only follow out by yourself."

"So, you swear to stop me?"

"That's right. It's about the relationship between master and apprentice... Hand over the jade box, and I'll let you go."

Shao Yan looked coldly at his least favorite disciple, who was also the disciple with the highest martial arts.He still has a seventy-eight percent understanding of this apprentice's xinxing:

"Do you think I'll believe it... I've already seen the contents of the jade box. If you've already guessed what it is, then you really are working together. Whether I hand it over or not, you won't spare my lifeof."

Lou Yefeng still looked calm:

"The master is still so sharp, the apprentice admires it."

"...Since there is nothing old to talk about, then draw your sword! Let me also see the shadowless sword that your master gave you."

"I'm going to ask Master to give me some pointers."

With only one arm left, Shao Yan unsheathed the long sword with his left arm backhand, and suddenly snorted coldly, sarcastically speaking:

"You're really confident... Lou Yefeng, now that you have a entanglement in your heart, your killing intent has long since disappeared. Do you really think you can kill me with just your skills?"

The shadow of the sword rose suddenly, and a fine iron sword soaked in years of weather and frost intersected with the light-colored Wuying sword's moves, and it has gone through more than ten rounds in a blink of an eye.

"Lou Yefeng, Lou Yefeng, the swordsman has no sword heart, how can you win me? You die here today, let's treat it as the last lesson for my teacher. I will wait to see your master come cryingCollect the body for you."

Lou Yefeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and Jianfeng froze.

As experienced as he is, he will certainly not be distracted by the enemy during the battle.But he himself is not unaware of the flaws in his state of mind.

Shao Yan saw through his weakness at a glance.

——The heart is concerned, bound by love, the sword will be damaged and decisive, and the decision between changing moves in the face of battle is easy to change.

but……

"If I don't try, how can I know I can't beat you? Besides, I have no other choice."

…………

But it is said that in the palace here, Pei Nianyu has already gone to sleep.Although he knew what Shao Yan might be doing outside these few days, he trusted his younger brother very much, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He has always been very self-aware, thinking that if it is something that Pei Niancheng can't handle, no matter how much he pays attention to it, he may not be of much help, it's better not to add trouble.

Therefore, he is in a good mood these few days. During the day, he gossips with Pei Nianzhen and He Yanjun about the culinary competition, and discusses the ideas of dishes that are blooming and emerging one after another.At night, as usual, he hugged Ye Feng, his family, and slept soundly - he didn't notice that Ye Feng sneaked out every night.

Until tonight, not long after he fell asleep, he was suddenly woken up by He Qi.

He Qi received a message from the shadow guards in the palace—something happened in the palace that made Shao Yan run away. They were short of manpower, so they asked the shadow guards of the palace to assist in the search.

Originally, if he just sent his subordinates to work, He Qi, as the commander, could directly make the decision.But there was another secret order written by Pei Niancheng, with four large characters written on it: King Yu himself.

He Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and wake up his master in the middle of the night.

Poor Commander He Da pushed his master's bed and shook it crazily to wake him up.

Pei Nianyu straightened up from the bed, rubbed the resentment on his face for getting up, and looked at He Qi sleepily.

"Old He, what are you doing..."

He Qi briefly described the matter and handed him the secret order note.

Pei Nianyu unfolded it and saw Xiao Sheng's handwriting inside, which was very scribbled and appeared to be in a hurry:

"Shao Yan opened the mechanism from the late emperor's palace and took away a rectangular jade box. I guess it might be that thing. Send someone to stop him."

Pei Nianyu gasped and woke up all at once.

That thing... He really couldn't imagine the consequences if he was allowed to escape.This is the foundation of the country that Xiaosheng managed to stabilize. The common people, soldiers and civilians have managed to live in peace for two or three years, and have just regained some vitality.

But He Qi didn't know about this matter, so he still had to let the old building handle it.

However, when he subconsciously stretched his hand into the bed beside him, he found that the bed was empty.

"...What about the old building?"

He Qi shrank his head like a quail:

"He said just now that he was going out for a while and asked me to protect the master..."

Pei Nianyu's heart rate soared instantly, and his blood pressure rushed to his forehead.

"Lou Yefeng!!!!!!"

After walking together for so many years, Pei Nianyu knows him too well:

Lou Yefeng always likes to keep everything under his control, so he must have secretly gone to the palace to watch. Now that there is something wrong with Li Han for some reason, he must be the first to make up for it.

However... Li Han and so many shadow guards failed to stop Shao Yan, how good is his master's martial arts?Is Lou Yefeng going to let him go like this?

Pei Nianyu's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Lou Yefeng, bold and bold... When the old building comes back, he must... want to...

Wait a fart!Don't wait!

Pei Nianyu flipped off the quilt, turned over and jumped off the bed.While grabbing the outer robe hanging on the hanger next to him and putting it on his body, and tied the belt in a random way, he arranged:

"Let Jiangxue go to the palace by herself to follow Xiaosheng, in case the power in the palace is empty and Shao Yan kills her. Liu Lianxiao and a group of shadow guards are sent to watch the house, and all the other shadow guards are sent out to find Shao Yan.Come to Ye Feng to support him!"

"Also, Old He, you quickly take my elder brother to hide anywhere in the city - don't show your tracks, don't be found, and keep him safe."

He Qi was startled: "Master?"

Pei Nianyu pulled the hair tie on the table, and hurriedly tied up his messy black hair so as not to interfere with activities.One side said to He Qi:

"...I don't have time to explain the whole story to you now. I'm not sure if what he took away is what I guessed. But Shao Yan may hold Pei Nianzhen hostage and use his identity to do something."

"I'm not sure, but in short, you must take him away first, don't stay in the palace. If he really comes to Pei Nianzhen, everyone in the palace will be in danger, and Lian Xiao will die."

He Qi didn't answer.

While talking, Pei Nianyu had finished dressing briefly, picked up the weapon folding fan next to the pillow, tied it around his waist, and stepped out the door.

He Qi dodged to stop him:

"Master! Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find the old building."

He Qi knelt down:

"Master, please don't act rashly. If something happens to you, your subordinates will die."

Pei Nianyu took a deep breath.

He knew that Old He was also stubborn, and he was as stubborn as old building.He also knew how outrageous his order was - in the face of a crisis, he asked his shadow guard leader to leave his master behind to protect his little boy.

But he can't be tough with He Qi, otherwise, if Old He gets serious, he might hurt Old He.

Pei Nianyu reached out to hold He Qi's shoulder, that palm was warm, firm and strong.

"—He Qi, your master has martial arts. He doesn't hide in the mansion and only eats, drinks, and waits for others to protect him. This matter is really important, otherwise the old building won't chase him out like this. Go, if IThere will be a signal if there is danger."

He Qi didn't know what to do.In the face of a determined master, he can die, but in the face of a gentle master, he is helpless.

"...Yes, this subordinate takes orders."

He watched helplessly as his master used his lightness skills to fly away. While sending some shadow guards out of the city to search in groups, the other part followed the master... Although he knew that with the master's long internal strength, most of these guys would not be able to keep up.

…………

Pei Nianyu flew out of the mansion, stood at the highest point of Capital City and looked around, but was still unable to determine Lou Yefeng's whereabouts.While thinking about it, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and went to the palace.

He quickly circled the palace wall for half a circle with his superb lightness skills, and his nose, which is used to distinguishing various smells, keenly caught a hint of the light fragrance of gardenia.

It was the new house incense that he just tried yesterday, but his hands shook a little while making it, and the finished product was overturned, Lou Yefeng complained about whether it was too thick.

— but it was of great help here.

Although not necessarily accurate, this is probably the only hope.

Pei Nianyu looked up at the full moon beside the city. He didn't know what kind of murderous intent was waiting for him, but he still chased after the faint, faint scent of gardenia.

…………

In the mountains west of the city.

At that time, Lou Yefeng and Shao Yan had used more than 300 moves, one fought and fled into the mountains, the other refused to let go, the moves were locked tightly.

In the middle of the battle, the two of them had already walked halfway up the mountain, and the capital city in the distance became more and more distant and blurred.

Lou Yefeng's moves became more and more difficult.Although he regained his martial arts after losing all his martial arts, his internal strength even went a step further.However, the life in the palace for three years has less accumulated experience than his master's wandering in the rivers and lakes these years.

What's more... his master has learned a strange kung fu from somewhere, and his internal strength is not as high as his, but the power of the moves he displays is far superior to him.

Thanks to the Wuying Sword he brought out today, relying on the uniqueness of the weapon, he was able to fight him evenly.

Just when the two were deadlocked for a long time, when Lou Yefeng gradually felt that he was invincible, he suddenly heard Shao Yan looking behind Lou Yefeng, and said in surprise:

"Why did your master come here? You are so overwhelmed!"

Unexpectedly, Pei Nianyu was not behind Lou Yefeng, but on a treetop a few feet behind Shao Yan.

He followed Lou Yefeng's trail so far, and only passed the treetops all the way into the mountain, neither of them raised their heads to look at the treetops during the fierce battle, and the sound of the wind blowing the branches covered them, so they didn't find him.

Pei Nianyu had just found the two who were fighting, and he didn't dare to make a sound for fear of distracting Lou Yefeng.Although he knew that there might be his or Xiaosheng's other shadow guards in this direction outside the city, he didn't dare to signal fireworks to attract Shao Yan's attention.

So he simply found a tree with dense branches and hid it, not daring to breathe.

While he was desperately recalling all the essentials of internal force exhalation that Lou Yefeng had taught him, he heard Shao Yan say to Lou Yefeng——Is your master behind you?

But I'm clearly on top of you two!

Pei Nianyu was stunned for three seconds before realizing:

——No, he cheated!!

Sure enough, Lou Yefeng was shocked when he heard this, and thought that he was invincible now, if he wanted to distract his master to protect his master, it would be even more difficult...

There is no distraction in the master's moves, it is the moment when Lou Yefeng is in a trance, and the sword moves are dull.Shao Yan went straight into the central palace, hit his chest with a palm, and knocked him flying.

Shao Yan knew that his palm would seriously injure him, Lou Yefeng was no longer able to follow him.However, mature shadow guards always cut grass and roots...

He stepped forward and looked at Lou Yefeng who had fallen to the ground with blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes were calm and compassionate:

"Good apprentice, martial arts are good, but there are too many unnecessary emotions..."

Seeing that he was about to stab with the sword, Pei Nianyu felt very anxious, summoned all the internal strength of his body, and drew the center blade of the folding fan mechanism out of its sheath.In the gentle silvery moonlight, a sky-blue figure rushed down from the treetops:

"go to hell!"

Shocked, Shao Yan was about to turn around, but his internal energy had already been exhausted after a night of fierce fighting, and Pei Nianyu had a strong desire to kill.

Before he could react from his relaxed mind, he felt a pain in his back, and a thin sharp blade pierced his back.The anesthetic on the blade rushed into the limbs and bones in an instant, and he could no longer move.
