Chapter 34: Fight
Shen Yue smacked her lips upon hearing this. "No, I understand that you want to bring Miss Cheng back to the mansion, but shouldn't Captain Changfeng be the one to handle things like catching the traitor?"
The man snorted coldly, "Don't forget that you were once a spy planted by the Nether Palace in the palace. Think back, when you saw Changfeng at that time, would you reveal your skills?"
"Uh, of course not."
The shadow guards of Prince Cheng's mansion are all masters who have undergone years of rigorous training. Their martial arts moves are exquisite and unique. If anyone intends to sneak into the mansion, they will definitely first disassemble and learn the shadow guards' fighting skills. Shen Yue is no exception.
On the day when the Nether Palace broke into the palace, if it wasn't for the purpose of silencing her, Shen Yue would not have risked exposing her skills.
"So, the prince is planning to hold a martial arts competition?"
"Wrong, it's not a duel." The man raised an eyebrow, "It's a brawl."
That night, our little shadow guard thought about it for half the night and couldn't figure out what she had done to make her boss think it was appropriate for her to provoke a fight.
Does she seem out of tune? Is she a troublemaker? Tsk!
Prejudice is indeed an insurmountable mountain.
——
The next day, at the training ground in the backyard of Prince Cheng’s mansion.
The various departments of the Shadow Guard lined up neatly, with the department chief standing at the front of the team.
Today, Changfeng specially replaced the shadow guards on duty near Xiao Yuheng with his confidants brought from the capital, and arranged the others to the training ground.
In other words, the traitor must be among these people in the training ground.
Changfeng first gave a morning training to the directors, and then said a few polite words to the shadow guards, such as "The prince's safety is above all else" and "I will never retreat even if I face danger from any angle". In short, they were all bold words.
After he gave the order and the shadow guards began to practice, he gave Shen Yue a look and then strode away.
Even though the captain of the guards was not there, the shadow guards did not dare to slack off. They all practiced very hard, and the directors also supervised them very seriously.
Only Shen Yue was leisurely folding her arms, leaning lazily on the chair, crossing her legs, and basking in the sun with her eyes closed.
Zhao Si looked at her with disdain and said to Yao San, "I really don't know how someone like him became the director."
"There's nothing I can do. I'm just favored." Yao San laughed and continued to supervise the training.
Although Shen Yue couldn't see, she had excellent hearing and could naturally hear the conversation between the two. She didn't get angry and changed her posture and continued to lean.
After a while, a noise came from deep inside the training ground.
Han Song from the Third Division shoved Zhang Dayong hard. "Hey, you've tripped me twice. Are you looking for trouble?"
Zhang Dayong didn't want to be offended either, so he pushed back and said provocatively, "So what if you're looking for trouble? Are you dissatisfied?"
Seeing that the two were on edge, the shadow guards of the first division came over to try to persuade them.
"It's normal to bump into each other occasionally during training. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
"Yeah, we're all gentlemen, don't take it too seriously, let's go!"
"We can't disperse!" Han Song gritted his teeth. "Once could be considered an accident, but twice must be intentional!"
Zhang Dayong laughed even more arrogantly: "That's right, I did it on purpose. What can you do to me? If you don't like it, come and hit me! Lululu~"
The voice was full of provocation, and Shen Yue, who was far away, almost couldn't help laughing when she heard it.
Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, I asked you to be a humiliator, but I didn’t ask you to be this humiliating.
Han Song was instantly enraged. He threw a punch but missed and was kicked by Zhang Dayong instead.
The shadow guards were serious and surrounded them, accusing them of something. "How could you, the Second Division, hit someone so casually?"
"That's right, I really don't know the rules."
"Oh, the director has been favored by the prince, and it's a glorious time. When one person succeeds, everyone else rises to prominence, and the shadow guards are also following suit!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the shadow guards of the Second Division immediately became furious.
"What did you say?"
"I said your director is bewitching the master and not doing his job. Am I wrong?"
The Second Division Shadow Guard couldn't hold it in any longer and threw a punch: "Shut up your father's stinking fart!"
"You're talking nonsense! You guys in the Second Division are no good!"
The opponent was not to be outdone and slapped back with a palm.
"You guys in Division One are just bastards, you guys in Division Three are all trash, and you guys in Division Four are all just a bunch of wimps!"
…
The shadow guards from each department wanted to strangle each other to death. Roars were heard one after another, and soon they started fighting.
"What are you doing!"
Jiang Da roared, and some of the shadow guards stopped.
Yao San also came over and said, "As shadow guards, your fists are used to protect the prince, not to beat your own people!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue opened her eyes a crack.
Well, you are righteous and have good acting skills, but unfortunately, no matter how I look at you, you don’t look like a good person.
"Chen Er, take care of your people!" Zhao Si also came to join in the fun.
Shen Yue stretched lazily and said, "Directors, it seems that the brothers of the Shadow Guard Division have a lot of opinions about our Second Division."
Bai Yunfei on the side quietly corrected him, "Director, you said the wrong line. I have a problem with you, not with the Second Division."
Shen Yue gave him a glare and said, "Get lost, isn't that the same?"
She suddenly raised her voice, "Ahem, who was it that just now said that this director could seduce the Lord? Everyone from the Second Division, call me!"
"yes!"
When the shadow guards of the Second Division heard the director's words, they all looked excited, raised their fists and surrounded him again.
Seeing this, the shadow guards from other departments were not willing to show weakness and rushed forward with roars.
For a moment, fists and feet were fighting, and the scene became even more chaotic.
Jiang Da frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Chen Er, you are too arrogant because of your favor. Aren't you afraid of the prince's blame?"
Zhao Si: "Exactly. You're not good at martial arts, you just want to attract attention."
"I've never been afraid of anyone. If you, the directors, don't like it, you can join us!"
Shen Yue shrugged and shouted:
"Open the place, bring out all your best skills, today I want to see who is the worst!"
"Okay!" The shadow guards of the Second Division responded in unison, their momentum high as a rainbow.
The shadow guards' fighting spirit had been completely ignited, and they all flew to the weapon rack to get their swords, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard.
Seeing that they couldn't persuade them, the directors had to step down and stop it.
Chen Yue's eyes were like an eagle. She began to carefully observe the moves of the shadow guards, muttering to herself, "Third Division Lin Xiao, Second Division Chen Hu, and the one to Lao Zhang's left..."
Bai Yunfei listened carefully and wrote everything down in the little notebook in his mind.
In the chaos, Shen Yue noticed that one of the shadow guards had very strange moves.
When most people fight, their moves are wide and powerful, and they try to use all their strength, but his moves seem to be stretched out but with some strength left in the air, as if he is afraid of making a mistake and not being able to retract his moves in time.
"What's that person's name?"
Shen Yue had only been in the company for over three months and didn't know everyone, so she asked Bai Yunfei who was standing beside her.
"Director, that's Peng Lei from the First Division."
"Well, this person hasn't revealed his true colors yet, but I always feel like there's something weird about him."
Shen Yue touched his chin and was about to ask Ah Fei to put him on the list of suspicious persons when Yao San came to Peng Lei.
He seemed to be trying to stop the fight, but his moves were ruthless. After a few powerful moves, Peng Lei finally used the "Inverted Galaxy" move to protect himself.
The sword technique came from the Netherworld Palace, and Chen Yue could tell it at a glance.
But if Peng Lei was from the Netherworld Palace's branch in Sifang City, she wouldn't have failed to recognize him. Could it be that they had sent people from other branches or even the headquarters?
If that were the case, her every move would probably have been under surveillance by the Nether Palace headquarters.
Sooner or later, they will come to settle accounts with her for the crime of treason and the revenge of destroying the palace.
