Chapter 228 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue

System: [Is this really okay? Your father won’t be angry,

will he?] Xue Chen: [Don’t worry, just pretend to be sick when the time comes.]

System: […]

You don’t care about your father and your brother’s life or death, right?

After throwing the problem to his brother, Xue Chen felt relieved and continued to discuss with Ximen Chuxue.

When Pei Rui and Lu Xiaofeng circled around and ran to Li Ze Gate, a fight had already broken out there, with more than a dozen people dead. The imperial guards fought and retreated repeatedly, and now no one can be seen. Only a few eunuchs were left hiding in the distance and trembling.

Lu Xiaofeng kept walking and went straight into the palace.

The soldiers under the Taiping King were arresting people. Those who gave up resistance were directly locked up in the side hall of the Yanhe Hall. Some who would rather die than surrender had their joints removed. They lay on the ground, clenching their teeth, their faces pale with pain, and trembling all over.

Lu Xiaofeng saw a young man with a rather feminine and beautiful face walking up to a person. He had a gentle expression, a calm smile, and looked kind and amiable.

He raised his hand and removed one of the other's arms neatly, ignoring his wailing, and then reached to the other side.

"Stop!" Lu Xiaofeng couldn't stand it anymore, "If you think he's a nuisance, just knock him out. Why torture him like this?"

"Torture?" Yuan Feishuang reconnected his bones and dragged him to Lu Xiaofeng, "Look for yourself. If my bone-setting skills are second to none, who dares to say they're first? I'll do it myself. After a few days of recuperation, I guarantee it will be restored to its original state. It's bad for the body to knock someone out. A stronger person will be beaten to death."

After saying that, he twisted the man's bones again and repositioned them.

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

Frequent dislocations are worse for the body!

You're just looking for an excuse to torture people!

This is a counter-thief. No matter how good-tempered he seems, he is still a counter-thief. His stance is different, so it is not surprising that he is a little brutal to his enemies.

However, Lu Xiaofeng did not realize this in time when he saw Yuan Feishuang.

He was so naive that he thought he could communicate well with him. He adjusted his mentality in time, and when he looked at the young man again, he still felt that he was gentle and lovely, and he could not raise any guard.

It was really a ghost.

Yuan Feishuang disabled the palace servant's ability to move, and removed his jaw to prevent him from committing suicide. He clapped his hands and turned to look at Lu Xiaofeng: "Are you here to help too?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Where is Gong Jiu?"

Yuan Feishuang looked at the soldiers standing in the distance: "Who of you is called Gong Jiu?"

No one answered, whether military officers or palace servants.

Yuan Feishuang: "There is no Gong Jiu here, you can look for him somewhere else."

He was quite approachable, but his hands did not stop moving, and he was still removing joints.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't tell who was more cruel between him and Ximen Chuxue. Although Ximen Chuxue killed people, he was quick and decisive when he did it, and his enemies usually died without feeling much pain.

Those whose joints were removed by this young man would definitely have to go through other tortures, and they might not survive in the end.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt very powerless.

What good could he do if he guessed the King of Taiping's plan? He was a step too late, and he could not stop anything.

It would be strange for two people who knew each other to meet without saying hello, so Yuan Feishuang pretended to act: "Pei Rui, what are you doing here again?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know each other?" Lu Xiaofeng said, "By the way, I don't know how to address you."

"His brother-in-law and I are friends. I met him a few times in Prince Taiping's Palace when I visited Xue Chen before, but we were not familiar with each other." Yuan Feishuang said, "My name is Yuan, Yuan Feishuang."

Lu Xiaofeng: "Bingchi..."

Yuan Feishuang interrupted quickly: "Okay! I have something to do, so I won't talk anymore. Go and have fun."

After that, he picked up the palace maid on the ground and left with her.

Lu Xiaofeng was in a complicated mood: "It is said that he is the junior brother of the Six-and-a-half Hall's Grand Master Di Feijing. The two brothers are very close, and the Daqizi grappling hand has long been superb."

Pei Rui: "I don't know."

Lu Xiaofeng felt very lonely. His friends were around him, but there was no one to talk to. Patting his shoulder: "Let's go."

Di Feijing was the second in command of the Six-and-a-half Hall, and Yuan Feishuang was his junior brother and the head of the Six-and-a-half Hall. It seems that he was very close to Cai Jing in the past, and he also had some face in front of the emperor.

Such a person was actually the Taiping King's man!

Cai Jing was so negligent that he died. It was really not unjust.

Even the Liufenbantang is helping the Prince of Taiping. Cai Jing's old party should have been won over. The general trend is set. Even if all the other people in the court unite, they may not be able to resist.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng's psychological pressure was relieved and his mood improved a lot.

"What do you think of the Prince of Taiping?" he asked Pei Rui.

"Very warm."

Pei Rui was born with less visual sense than others and his reaction was slow, but those who could practice peerless swordsmanship were definitely not idle people. His other senses were very sensitive and his intuition was strong. People who could make Pei Rui feel warm should not be more cold and selfish than the original emperor.

Think about what Zhao Ji did. He built palaces and Mount Genyue without caring about the national crisis. He tolerated his favorite ministers who caused trouble for the people. He also set up special offices all over the country to transport flowers and stones, causing rebellion everywhere. If it weren't for the King Taiping to manage the army, it's hard to say how long the Daxing could last.

The King Taiping ascended the throne, which was not a bad thing in the short term.

Lu Xiaofeng walked around the palace. The soldiers under the King Taiping wore gold-painted iron armor, held their heads high, and were different from the others in spirit and spirit.

They didn't hurt anyone, nor did they guard the palace gates. They just ran around in the pavilions and towers, looking for something.

Pei Rui moved his nose and raised his hand to touch the flowers, as if he came here for an outing.

At this time, fighting broke out outside again.

Lu Xiaofeng went over to see that it was the Crown Prince Zhao Huan who had come with a group of people and was confronting someone at the Dragon Pavilion. Fighting broke out in an instant, and the palace was in chaos.

Pei Rui sensed danger and drew his knife.

He took a defensive stance and did not join the battle, but the prince suddenly pointed his spear at him and issued an order: "That man is the adopted son of King Taiping, he must be the leader of the rebels, take him down quickly!"

Pei Rui stepped forward, blocked in front of Lu Xiaofeng, and said to him: "I will hold them, you go quickly."

Now even Lu Xiaofeng became their target.

Several hundred imperial guards quickly surrounded them.

Lu Xiaofeng did not want to hurt anyone, and Lingxi could easily clamp the weapon with one finger, but the enemy had more people and he only had two hands, so it was quite difficult to dodge.

Pei Rui did not have so many concerns, his long sword shone brightly, and he did not distinguish between enemies and friends when fighting, and quickly killed all those who approached him.

Lu Xiaofeng felt more stressed, and he finally remembered the assassination attempt he had with Pei Rui.

He shouldn't have stayed!

Now, no one dared to deal with Pei Rui, and they all rushed towards him.

Zhao Huan was anxious, "Don't worry about that man! Pei Rui is blind, let's go together and kill him! Whoever takes his head will be rewarded with three hundred taels of gold and be made Xie Zhonglang!"

The morale of the imperial guards was greatly boosted by him.

Pei Rui killed several people close to him, and as if he had just reacted, he said slowly: "Are you the emperor?"

Yes, only the emperor has the power to reward officials. What's the use of an unfavored prince? Whether he can ascend the throne smoothly is a big question.

The imperial guards, who were already hesitant, became even more timid.

Pei Rui was unstoppable and rushed directly to Zhao Huan. Zhao Huan was hesitating about how to deal with him. Zhao Huan was so frightened that his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand. He took two steps back, and when he came to his senses

, he felt ashamed. He drew the sword of the guard beside him and stabbed Pei Rui. When he realized that something was wrong, his chest was already bleeding. He didn't even feel the pain and lost consciousness.

"The prince is dead! The prince is dead!"

Pei Rui wiped the blood on the knife with his elbow, looked straight ahead, and said coldly: "Let's go."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly.

No wonder the atmosphere was relaxed after entering the palace. The people under King Taiping treated him very friendly. It must be because he came here with Xiao Mian and was treated as one of their own.

Once the crown prince is dead, even if he says that he is not in cahoots with Prince Taiping, it will be hard to convince people.

"Pei Rui!"

Lu Xiaofeng looked closely and saw that it was Zhuge Zhengwo.

He probably heard about what happened here, and hurried over from the south, just in time to meet them preparing to leave.

Pei Rui had a knife in his hand, and blood on his clothes. Although it was not very obvious in the black clothes, it was still visible if you looked carefully.

Pei Rui seemed to be still on alert. When he heard someone calling him rudely, he picked up the knife and killed without hesitation.

Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "Stop, Xiaomian, stop! He is Zhuge Shenhou!"

Pei Rui hesitated and stopped.

Zhuge Zhengwo was so overwhelmed by the things that happened just now that he calmed down and figured out the current situation.

Cai Jing was assassinated, the emperor was missing, and the palace was breached. This was a rebellion! There was

no leader in the palace, and he couldn't get away for a while. He could only send a few palace servants out to inform Wuqing and others, but he didn't know if they left the palace.

Hearing that the prince brought the imperial guards to suppress the rebellion, Zhuge Zhengwo hurried here, but he ran into Pei Rui and knew that this matter was related to King Taiping.

He was angry and blamed himself, hating himself for relaxing his guard, neglecting to pay attention to Pei Rui, and failing to discover his little tricks in time.

I don't know how much information Pei Rui has stolen from the Shenhou Mansion. With such a traitor by his side, how can he win the fight?

It's too late to say anything now.

Pei Rui no longer pretends, which can only mean that the Shenhou Mansion is no longer important to them.

Zhuge Zhengwo: "Where did you take the emperor?"

Pei Rui: "I don't know."

Zhuge Zhengwo: "Are you trying to kill me?"

Lu Xiaofeng tried to smooth things over: "My Lord, you misunderstood. Pei Rui really didn't know. After I came to the capital, the first place I visited was the Shenhou Mansion. At that time, Cai Jing had just been assassinated and there was chaos outside. Pei Rui was in the city with the constables..." Glancing at Pei Rui, "I forgot to ask, who did you catch?"

"Cai Jing's accomplice."

This can be considered a good thing. Lu Xiaofeng thought embarrassedly.

He continued, "After that, I took him out for a meal. I saw a commotion in the city, so I chased him all the way and finally came to the palace. To be honest, I did find some clues when I was running around. I thought that the Prince of Taiping might have some rebellious intentions, so I was just about to inform several adults in the court, but I was a step too late."

Lu Xiaofeng was still trustworthy.

Zhu Ge Zhengwo asked, "Where is the prince?"

Lu Xiaofeng's smile became forced: "The prince led the imperial guards and wanted to kill Pei Rui without any explanation, and even didn't let me go. Pei Rui didn't understand the situation, and in order to protect himself, he killed the prince by mistake."

He knew Pei Rui too well. With Pei Rui's reaction ability, he definitely didn't recognize the identity of the prince. But even if you tell him who the crown prince is, he may not know how important the person in this position is.

Zhuge Zhengwo: "You seem to be biased towards Pei Rui."

Lu Xiaofeng: "Pei Rui is taciturn. It is difficult for him to explain the situation. I am just afraid of misunderstandings."

Zhuge Zhengwo: "In this case, why not explain it in one breath. What did the King of Taiping do?"

Although the situation is changing now and the situation is different every moment, if you don't figure out the situation, you don't know where to put your efforts. Exchange of information is inevitable.

Lu Xiaofeng started from the time he encountered the murderous flute sound, and told it in detail but skillfully.

Xue Chen: [Sometimes I really admire myself. Lu Xiaofeng's impression of each vest and the reaction he made every time were exactly as I expected. 】

System: 【I also find it amazing. I don’t know whether to say that Lu Xiaofeng knows your vest settings too well, or you know Lu Xiaofeng too well. 】

Xue Chen: 【I don’t understand him, as long as I understand that he always stands on the side of kindness and justice. 】
