when the wind and cloud cry

Chapter 37

The night fell, the night was dark, the wind whizzed past, and it was cold.

The gate of the imperial palace was stepped up, and the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army stood in a row against the backdrop of the torches.

The leader's eyes were as bright as fire and he blocked the palace gate like a door god.

Not long after, a small group of people walked out from the darkness of the deep palace.

Six eunuchs were holding lanterns in front, led by Jiang Sheng, followed by twelve Habayashi guards, with a carriage in the middle, and a dragon knight in heavy armor on each side.

Yuan Feili rode a war horse with a spear, his whole body was wrapped in dragon riding armor, his face was also covered with a veil, and even the shocking evil spirit was hidden in the shaft car.

In the night, he was like a real dragon knight, exuding a battle-tested murderous aura all over his body.

The commander guarding the palace gate saw this group of people coming towards him, so he hurried forward to greet him and said, "Commander Jiang, why are you leaving the palace at this hour?"

Jiang Sheng smiled boldly, and said: "I was ordered by His Royal Highness the Great Emperor Ji to escort the sages out of the palace, but I don't know what happened in the palace, but I asked Commander Zhang to inspect it personally!"

Commander Zhang leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Commander Jiang, don't you know? An assassin sneaked into the womb a few days ago, and he hasn't even been caught yet. Commander Pei has issued a military order to release all gates. The assassin is gone..."

Speaking of this, he made a beheading motion with his hands, and said in a serious way: "The whole team is beheading!"

Jiang Sheng let out a light "Oh" and said, "It seems that there is such a thing, I have heard about it too!"

Commander Zhang immediately looked behind him, and said suspiciously: "At this juncture, are you still leaving the palace?"

Jiang Sheng smiled and took out a handful of gold beads, secretly stuffed them to Commander Zhang and said, "We are afraid that we will delay the time, so I ask Mr. Zhang to make it easier for us!"

"Okay!"

Commander Zhang took the gold beads, but waved his hands at his subordinates: "But we need to search for the car first, I'm offended!"

Jiang Sheng did not dismount, but still laughed and teased Commander Zhang: "Commander Zhang, you are getting more and more courageous. Do you dare to search the car of the sage?"

Commander Zhang smiled wryly and bowed to apologize: "It's my duty, my duty, Commander Jiang must understand this general's difficulties!"

Two officers and soldiers of the Royal Forest Army walked over immediately, stretched out their hands to lift the curtain of the car, and saw a gray-bearded old man leaning inside, sleeping innocently, while Yan Wushuang and Hua Tiandie were taking care of him carefully.

Seeing this scene, Commander Zhang hurriedly waved his hands, and the two soldiers immediately retreated respectfully, and the heavy palace gate was slowly opened.

Jiang Sheng exchanged a few words with Commander Zhang, and when the palace gate was fully opened, the group of them walked out of the palace in a big way.

Yuan Fei looked at the palace gate that was closing, wondering in her heart, why didn't she see the Great Di Ji?
A group of people left the palace and soon arrived at the east gate of Yujing City.

Jiang Sheng obviously felt that the officers and soldiers were much more cautious in their investigations than before, especially the doubled number of troops at the city gate.

When Yuan Feili saw those figures in white clothes, his heart tightened.

The former classmates have now become life-and-death rivalries.

But the expression on his face was quickly replaced by indifference.

The commander of the city defense army, Pei Mu, saw such a group of troops from a distance. The guards in front of the hall personally led the escort, and there were actually two dragon knights accompanying them.

Such a battle is also very rare.

Suspicion suddenly arose in his heart, could it be that the Great Diji was going out of the city?
Do not!
impossible!
Pei Mu quickly denied this idea.

The Emperor Ji's status is so noble, if she wants to leave the city, she will definitely receive the notice from the Ministry of War in advance, and then coordinate with the Jingxie Sword Sect to send a guard to escort her, so it will definitely not be so abrupt.

The city gate in front of him was getting closer and closer, Yuan Fei looked at the guard in front of him fiercely, and couldn't help but feel secretly frightened.

This person is actually a shocking evil cultivator, with two swords on his back, it can be seen that his cultivation is not ordinary.

At this moment, Jiang Sheng said: "Jiang Sheng, the guard in front of the palace, is ordered by His Highness the Great Emperor Ji to escort the sage emperor out of the city. Please let Pei Dutong open the city to let him go!"

As the commander of the imperial city's defense force, Pei Mu is known as the "Iron Face" for a reason.

This person has always distinguished between public and private, recognizes things but does not recognize others, and rarely enters the palace on weekdays, while Jiang Sheng is on duty in the palace, there is no friendship between the two of them, and unnecessary greetings are saved.

After all, Jiang Sheng showed a gleaming gold medal from his arms, it was the token of Xiyue Diji, and with this token, he could travel unimpeded in Xuan Kingdom.

Seeing this, Pei Mu led the horse forward, first confirmed the token, and then opened the curtain of the car, and saw that the person sitting inside was indeed a sage, so he hugged Jiang Sheng and said, "Don't blame Commander Jiang, this general It is also acting according to the rules, since it is the car of a sage old man, you can go out of the city!"

Jiang Sheng replied: "The safety of the imperial city of Pei Dutong is as it should be!"

This group of people walked out of the city gate slowly, and suddenly, Pei Mu's voice came from behind: "Wait a minute!"

At this time, Pei Mu walked around in front of Yuan Feili, raised his hand and shook out a roll of portraits, and compared them carefully.

Pei Mu's sudden action made everyone take a breath of cold air. Although the dozen or so Jingxie Censors around them were not moving at all, the air of oppression was already spreading strongly.

The cold wind blew through the city gate, carrying an extraordinarily cold breath.

Pei Mu carefully inspected Yuan Feili's face wrapped in tulle, but there was a beast-like murderous aura in those deep and deep eyes.

Pei Mu stretched out his hand at this moment, determined to take off the veil of this sharp dragon rider.

His sudden action immediately alarmed the accompanying guards including Jiang Sheng.

The murderous look in Yuan Fei's ruthless eyes was violent in vain, and he had already clenched his fists.

But before he had time to react, he felt a golden light flash beside him, and an arrow with feathers struck through the wind, narrowly passing between Pei Mu and himself.

Pei Mu took his time and looked to the other side of the chariot, only to see another dragon knight pointing at him with a crossbow arrow.

Shocked by the aggressive aura of this sharp dragon rider, Pei Mu also realized that his actions were too reckless.

Among all the military forces of the Xuan Dynasty, although the City Defense Guards and the Imperial Forest Army were the royal guards, they were only responsible for guarding one city and one pool.

But the dragoon army is different. These dragoon soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their only mission is to kill the enemy with blood. They wrap their mouths and noses with veils, so that they can prevent the enemy's blood from spraying on their faces during the fight.

I wanted to take off the opponent's veil just now, which was undoubtedly an offense to the dragon riders, and the arrow fired by the opponent was also a warning to him.

Moreover, they are all from the Great Emperor Ji's Mansion. Although they are not afraid of power, after all, they are ordered by the master to help apprehend the defecting disciples, which has nothing to do with the court.

If he offended the Great Emperor Ji because of this, wouldn't he be sincerely asking for trouble?
"This general was ordered to assist in the investigation of the defected disciples of our faction, and I offended the two brothers just now. I apologize here!"

Even Pei Mu, who has always been known as the "iron face", had to make concessions. Yuan Feili was finally safe and sound among this group of people, and finally left the imperial city of the capital under the shadow of Yujianfeng.
