Cheng Jushu moved slowly and could only rely on the strength of his fists to deflect the steel knife.
The two fought their way from the house to the yard, smashing all the floor tiles and door panels in their path.
After a dozen or so moves, Xing Yusen felt his internal energy surging, and his arms felt as if they were filled with the strength of a thousand pounds!
Cheng Jushu could only feel that the opponent's true energy was getting stronger and stronger, and his speed was getting faster and faster!
Xing Yusen's internal energy surged several times over, breaking through to the ninth rank in an instant!
Xing Yusen has finally reached the realm that countless martial artists have dreamed of.
This was all thanks to the "Spring and Autumn Sword Technique" gifted to him by Li Chang'an, which made him one of the top masters in the capital.
"bass!"
With a soft sound, Xing Yusen's steel knife severed Cheng Jushu's arm!
"Ow!"
With a scream, Cheng Jushu cried out in pain as Xing Yusen kicked him to the ground.
Under the intense pain, even the physically strong Cheng Jushu could not withstand it and fainted.
Xing Yusen searched Cheng Jushu and found only a spy token from the Northern Qi Dynasty.
As the former chief constable of the Ministry of Justice, he was familiar with the various levels of Northern Qi spy tokens.
Even without this token, everyone in the martial arts world knows Cheng Jushu.
"So this guy was actually a spy from Northern Qi."
At this moment, Fan Xian, clutching his completely dislocated arm, staggered over.
He glanced at Old Zhao and Old Zhang, who were riddled with bullets, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He had a very close relationship with these two veterans and trusted them greatly, so he would take them with him wherever he went.
But unexpectedly, his trust led to the deaths of both of them.
"Such a massive mobilization, just to kill me alone!"
"Commander Xing, now that we know Cheng Jushu is a spy for Northern Qi, why don't you kill him!"
Xing Yusen said, "Don't you want to know who's behind this? Who exactly wants to assassinate you?"
“The Dragon Guard Manor is only responsible for the search and arrest; the investigation is the responsibility of the Surveillance Bureau. I will hand Cheng Jushu over to the Surveillance Bureau.”
Although Fan Xian was burning with anger, he was even more eager to know who was behind it all!
He is the Director of the Overwatch Council. Now that Cheng Jushu has joined the Overwatch Council, he should have the right to intervene.
Just then, several of Xing Yusen's subordinates arrived, panting.
Xing Yusen killed several assassins in a short period of time; these people arrived relatively quickly.
Xing Yusen ordered, "Don't touch the scene; leave it for the investigation team to examine."
Search the vicinity to see if any assassins have escaped!
Several bodyguards began searching the courtyard, and Xing Yusen also began examining the corpses.
Upon seeing the sturdy bow on the assassin's body, Xing Yusen's heart skipped a beat. "This is military equipment!"
Fan Xian said with a sneer, "Commander Xing, there are also siege crossbows outside, those are definitely military equipment!"
Xing Yusen glanced outside, then nodded solemnly.
"Not bad, it's the kind used exclusively by the City Patrol Division."
Xing Yusen had spent many years in Beijing and had many friends in the military, so he was very familiar with these weapons.
However, the Shadow Guards do not have the authority to investigate cases, and they will not speak of these matters casually.
Fan Xian glared hatefully at Cheng Jushu, who was lying on the ground. "I'll go to the Supervisory Bureau tomorrow to ask about the interrogation results."
After he finished speaking, he walked deeper into Niulan Street.
Xing Yusen hurriedly shouted, "Young Master Fan, you have just been assassinated. Please do not act alone."
"You are seriously injured, and I'm afraid you won't even be able to muster your inner energy."
"Stay with us until the danger in the vicinity is completely eliminated before returning home."
Because of the deaths of the two guards, Fan Xian was burning with rage, and a surge of resentment burst forth from his heart.
He walked calmly into the empty Niulan Street and shouted angrily, "Whoever wants to kill me!"
"I'll give him a chance to kill me again!"
He dared to say that out of anger; if an assassin were to actually appear, he would be powerless to resist.
However, just as Fan Xian finished speaking, the sound of something cutting through the air suddenly rang out again!
"Whizzing!"
Suddenly, two masked women dressed in white with graceful figures darted out from the second floor of the attic buildings on both sides of Niulan Street!
Both women held strong bows, and two arrows pierced the air!
These two are the assassin sisters from the Si Gu Jian Sect of Dongyi City!
Because of the existence of the Shadow Guards in the capital, Lin Gong sent a total of seven people to assassinate Fan Xian.
Besides the four people who were just killed, Cheng Jushu who was captured, there were also these two female swordswomen from Dongyi City.
In the original series, only Cheng Jushu and these two female swordsmen attempted to assassinate Fan Xian.
Xing Yusen was horrified, but it was too late to rescue him.
Fan Xian's expression revealed a hint of mockery. Heaven, you really know how to play tricks on people.
I told them to kill me again, and sure enough, a new assassin appeared!
The most dangerous moment is often not when you are fully focused on the enemy, because at that time everyone will be on high alert.
After defeating the enemy, it is precisely at this time that we are most relaxed and vigilant.
Lin Gong had more than enough manpower. The two female swordsmen were there in case a master suddenly appeared and defeated Cheng Jushu.
If Cheng Jushu is defeated, then Fan Xian will inevitably lower his guard at times.
Lin Gong himself never expected that Fan Xian would actually give him a second chance!
Fan Xian, dragging his heavy body, could not dodge the arrows that were coming at him no matter what.
With the two arrows already flying towards him, Fan Xian could only curse inwardly, "Damn, what a foul mouth!"
Just then, Fan Xian seemed to see things, and saw several black afterimages approaching him.
Fast as lightning!
Swift as lightning!
Chapter 80: A giant tree has been cut down in the street! The City Patrol Commander is in danger!
The person arrived at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind several afterimages.
The man shoved Fan Xian, and an arrow pierced Fan Xian's arm, but missed a vital spot.
Once the afterimage stopped, Fan Xian saw that the person who had come was a middle-aged man with excellent lightness skills.
He was fair-skinned and beardless, with a somewhat simple and honest appearance, and was holding another arrow in his hand.
"Uh! Uh!"
The two women in white were suddenly knocked unconscious from behind by several men in blue, and then thrown directly from the second floor onto Niulan Street.
The leader of the men in blue said, "The danger in the vicinity has been eliminated!"
Wang Qinian, leave these two alive and hand them over to the Oversight Council for interrogation.
Wang Qinian bowed to the men in blue and said, "Your humble servant obeys!"
Then, the man in blue slipped into the pavilion and disappeared.
Fan Xian then realized that the person who was so fast that only a blur remained was Wang Qinian, the commander of the Shadow Guard.
"Thank you, Commander Wang..."
As soon as he said it, he was met with a stern rebuke from Wang Qinian.
"Whose young master are you? Don't you know any better?"
"The danger hasn't even been eliminated, and you're already running around everywhere. It's one thing for you to run, but you're also shouting randomly!"
"What are you yelling for? Are you calling for someone to assassinate you?!"
Fan Xian was frustrated. He had only acted out of momentary anger; who would have thought he would actually summon the assassin?
Hearing the commotion, Xing Yusen rushed out as well. "Old Wang, this is Miss Ruoruo's brother, Fan Xian."
Xing Yusen had met Fan Xian at the poetry gathering, but Wang Qinian had not yet met him, so he did not recognize him.
Wang Qinian glanced at Fan Xian and thought to himself, "So this is His Majesty's illegitimate son."
Considering the series of disturbances Fan Xian caused upon entering the capital, Wang Qinian basically believed this.
