The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 60: Sword, Light, Sword and Shadow

After hearing Pei Ruochen's words, Pei Linpu just smiled coldly, "Such a simple truth, doesn't it mean that my father doesn't know?"

Pei Ruochen was startled, and then heard Pei Linpu continue: "Remove He Lanqin, His Majesty may support another general of the Celestial Dynasty, Xiahou can't dominate under any circumstances - but no matter which one is replaced, it will not be like He Lanqin , let the father feel like a light on his back."

"Father……"

"Ruochen, is He Lanqin really as respectful as he appears on the surface? When he lent the tiger amulet to Yiren, didn't he know it was a trap? But he still borrowed it because—" Pei Linpu sighed deeply After a while, Fang said: "That's because he has reached the point where he has nothing to fear. Now the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty, even Xiahou's army, respect He Lanqin like a god of war. Such a general who has mastered the morale of the army brought to the Celestial Dynasty The threat is far greater than the covetousness of the Yan Kingdom."

"But General He Lan is dedicated to the country, there is no doubt about it." Pei Ruochen retorted without doubt.

"Yes, He Lanqin is dedicated to the country, but not to His Majesty." Pei Linpu left a sentence coldly, as if he didn't want to continue the conversation on this topic, and brought up the question just now, he asked: "You said just now that you are a Yiren , just out of heart?"

"Yes." Pei Ruochen answered with bowed head.

Pei Linpu was noncommittal, and stood with his hands behind his back for a long time, Fang said slowly, "I would rather you didn't do it out of your own heart, and I would rather you have no intentions."

Pei Ruochen looked at his father inexplicably, and was about to ask for clarification, when a dead member of the Pei family rushed over and quickly said, "Prime Minister, we have found the whereabouts of King Xiaoyao."

"Where's Lu Chuan?" Pei Linpu restrained his face and asked cautiously.

The situation of Lu Chuan when he first appeared in the face, thinking about it now, is still thrilling.

The formation is so tight that it is obviously a reinforced iron barrel, but he appeared, one person with one sword, no rules, no steps, only using the peerless swordsmanship that can save time and span the fleeting years, force this formation, Torn apart.

The most precise layout cannot resist the most irresistible force.

In front of that sword, the so-called Qimen gossip is just a joke.

Everyone couldn't see how Lu Chuan made his moves. They only knew that he was coming. Xuanyi and white light flashed in front of his eyes. The dead soldier that the Pei family was proud of, the invincible warrior of the Celestial Dynasty, was vulnerable to a single blow!
In the blink of an eye, the originally quiet and peaceful suburb of Suiyuan has become a Shura battlefield.

Blood flows into a river.

If it wasn't for Pei Linpu's quick response, decisively ordering the rest of the team to evacuate immediately after a group of people were killed, their losses would have been far more than this.

Therefore, even after finding out about He Lanxue, Pei Linpu still had to ask: Where is Lu Chuan?
The person who came to report the letter also had a look of panic, but the news he brought was excellent, "Return to the prime minister, Lu Chuan is no longer here."

Lu Chuan left.

He only promised Feng Jiu to help He Lanxue out of the siege, and he didn't care about other things at all.

To Lu Chuan, the majestic prime minister of the celestial dynasty is nothing more than 'other things'.

Pei Linpu felt a little at ease, but he couldn't help feeling annoyed in his heart - since he defected to Mrs. Xi and set up his own family, Pei Linpu had never been in such a mess, and he ran away before fighting.

Even if Lu Chuan is an outsider, such an existence is still too scary and threatening.

It's just that he couldn't think of a way to restrain it for a while, so he could only pay attention to it secretly, so as to plan for future affairs.

"If Mrs. Xi is..."

He couldn't help talking to himself, Pei Ruochen vaguely heard the word 'madam', and when he wanted to listen carefully, Pei Linpu had already walked quickly towards the direction the scouts were looking for.

Pei Ruochen had no choice but to follow closely behind.

The purpose of them being sent to Suiyuan this time was to capture He Lanxue, if they could not complete the imperial mission, it would be very difficult for them to return.

They found the woods.

Also found the entire woods extremely heavily guarded.

The guards on the periphery also coincided with the technique of Qimen gossip, and I don’t know who arranged it—it should be Feng Jiu—on every treetop, there is an excellent secret door, even for a person with mediocre martial arts skills. , in this position, it can have the effect of 'one man is the gatekeeper, ten thousand men are not open'.

This formation is no less than that of Pei Linpu's before.

On Pei Linpu's side, there was no one as inhuman as Lu Chuan.

When the spies reported that Pei Linpu was hesitant to enter, he saw Yiren.

Along the way, because of Yi Ren's identity, the people placed at the front of the formation did not target her. To her, this layer of guards was like nothing.

Yi Ren walked in unimpeded, and now, walked out unimpeded.

Pei Ruochen also saw her at the same time.

Seeing Yi Ren, Pei Ruochen's heart that had been on hold for a long time was relieved immediately, and a smile escaped unconsciously from the corner of his mouth. Just as Pei Linpu turned his head, when he caught the smile from the corner of his eye, his expression changed suddenly, and he immediately waved his hand, Several figures were ordered to rush out, and the guards at the edge of the forest also responded in time, but at this time the location was already on the edge of the formation, which seemed a bit beyond their reach.

The situation was immediately in Pei Linpu's hands. When Yi Jian came after him, Yi Ren was surrounded by Pei's family and retreated out of the woods under cover.

Seeing this, Yi Jian didn't have time to think about it, he sent someone to inform the prince, and joined the battle.

And the person who was sent to inform He Lanxue was the guard who told 'Master Yi is trapped by the prime minister' just now.

So when Feng Jiu and He Lanxue arrived, the battle was still at a stalemate, and there was no conclusion.

However, Yi Jian has already shown his defeat. The guards in the forest didn't get Feng Jiu's order, and they didn't dare to leave their posts without authorization, so they could only watch from the sidelines.

Yi Ren, on the other hand, stood blankly in the shadow of swords and swords, watching someone shouting, someone falling down, and someone's blood splashing on her trouser legs.

She shivered.

This is the first time she understands fighting, and she has never seen such a bloody scene before.

The fight on the side was still going on, but no one hurt her. The place where Yi Ren was located was like a safety island on a busy street, but there were constant car accidents and horns blaring.

The first time she saw He Lanxue, she instinctively wanted to lean over, but her footsteps moved, and she stopped in the same place in a daze.

Less than a hundred steps away, separated by the clashing sound of swords.A strange and cruel picture.

He Lanxue saw the momentary dissociation in Yi Ren's eyes.She looked away immediately.

He Lanxue's heart froze.

"My lord, you can't work hard now, otherwise, it will be very troublesome in the future." Feng Jiu's eyes were quick, and seeing He Lanxue's intention to rush in, he immediately pulled him back.

He Lanxue ignored Feng Jiu's warning at all: an out-of-control long sword came out of his hand, and it happened to fly towards Yi Ren.

Yi Ren also saw the sword flying towards him, and wanted to avoid it, but it was just a flash, how could a mortal body avoid it?

He Lanxue's heart jumped into his throat, he broke free from Feng Jiu's restraint, leaped into the battle like lightning, and threw himself at Yi Ren.

His movement is already very fast, as fast as a star chasing the moon, but it is still not enough. He watched the sword getting closer and closer to Yi Ren, and Yi Ren's big eyes could almost reflect the sword. of all reflections.

He Lanxue panicked, and the true energy in her body leaked out of nowhere, and she fell from mid-air, her throat felt sweet, before she landed, she spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.

He suddenly lost his strength, if Yi Jian who was nearby hadn't rushed over to support him immediately, He Lanxue might have collapsed in this chaotic battlefield.

Feng Jiu, who was waiting at the side, shook her head lightly, a trace of unconcealable worry flashed across her eyes.

After taking that kind of strong medicine, luck is the most taboo, not to mention, it is still such a desperate way.

The residual poison penetrated into the bone.

Trouble, very troublesome.

Feng Jiu was very depressed: Why don't all the patients like to listen to the doctor's words?
He Lanxue supported Yi Jian's arm across his chest, and watched Yi Ren hovering between life and death. All the changes were just a moment. , it was even more turbulent and powerless than when Rongxiu brought the medicine to him.

Yi Ren's departure, he was completely unprepared.

He has always been too sure of her.

Just for a moment.

—a long moment.

The corners of He Lanxue's lips were bleeding again.

Yi Ren also thought that this life was over.

It's not like there was no panic, but she didn't feel too sad either. The sword light had arrived, and she subconsciously closed her eyes, as the cold light rushed towards her face. Suddenly, the hair on her forehead rose slightly.

But after waiting for a long, long time, the expected thing did not happen.

Yi Ren couldn't help but narrow his eyes, staring blankly ahead.

One hand had already pinched the blade, blood seeped from between the fingers, the fingers were slender, delicate and powerful.

Her gaze went up her arms, and then she saw Pei Ruochen, the calm Pei Ruochen, the handsome and upright Pei Ruochen.

"It's dangerous here, let's go." He threw the long sword in his hand to the ground, then pulled Yiren up with his uninjured left hand, and walked out of the battle circle without any explanation.

"Ruochen!" Outside the battle circle, Pei Linpu's shout was mixed with anger, "You want to disobey me?"

Pei Ruochen stopped in his tracks, held Yi Ren's hand faintly, his expression didn't fluctuate much, but from Yi Ren's point of view, he could almost see the faint pain in his eyes, his embarrassment.

He probably has always listened to his father, Yi Ren thought, he is a good boy.

"Ruochen," He Lanxue's voice came next: "The person you want is me, why do you want to affect the innocent, don't you forget what you promised me?"

He entrusted Yi Ren to him, Pei Ruochen naturally remembered.

"Of course I haven't forgotten." Pei Ruochen pondered for a moment, then turned to He Lanxue, and said calmly, "But it's not me, but you who put her in danger."

After finishing speaking, Yi Ren staggered a bit with Pei Ruochen's hand, and then followed out step by step.
