I'm afraid you'll be widowed

The coldness of October filled the sky.

It was already past the curfew, and the streets were empty.

As the saying goes, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building, but at this moment it is indeed the gathering of wind and thunder.

The sharp alley wind was coming straight, blowing the lanterns under the eaves in disorder, swaying in the white light of lightning.

"What's going on?" Behind an inconspicuous wall at the corner of the street, a soft surprise sounded into the dark alley along with the thunder.

"Third Master, we have been watching this man for more than a month, and we are waiting to do it today. Why is it like this?"

Pei Gong, who was called the third master, was also hiding behind the street corner wall at this time.

His hand holding the handle of the knife was already so tight that it turned white, but he hadn't opened his mouth easily.

Pei Gong's eyes were all fixed on an inn, staring very closely, as if he had other plans.

This inn is located in the south of the city. At this moment, the door is closed, even the wooden boards that block the door are all fastened, but the house is still brightly lit at this time.

Wisps of bright yellow light in the inn slowly melted into the night through the gaps, reflecting the officers and soldiers outside the inn door, making the atmosphere extremely tense for a moment.

At some point, the inn was already surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers.

Pei Gong frowned slightly: "That's not our person."

The officers and soldiers outside the inn were carrying cold Yanling sabers, but they were not dressed in uniforms like the Imperial Guards of the Twelve Guards in Beijing.

Before Pei Gong and his group reacted more, the well-trained guards rushed into the inn like a flood of bees.

Seeing that the duck with its beak was about to fly away, the people behind Pei Gong couldn't help becoming more anxious.

"Where did the person come from, dare to rob so clearly the traitor that our Xuanfu guards want to arrest..."

"We have never revealed the news. Where did this group of people come from?"

"Even the Imperial Army of the Twelve Guards of the Beijing Central Committee can't just move our frontier soldiers so casually."

Several people looked sideways at Pei Gong as if asking for help again.

Although Pei Gong has no official position, but here, no one dares not to take him seriously.

The Pei family has been honored for generations, and what they inherit is the position of Duke passed down by their ancestors.

Although Liang Guogong is now close to sixty years old, his three sons have two military merits.In addition, there are two young girls, both of whom are generous generals and tiger girls.

After all, among all the nobles, only this third master is the most different.

He neither likes to indulge in wine and sex, but also is lazy and takes up a half-job. His ancestral swords, horses and fists are not inferior to his two elder brothers, but he has no intention of making a name for himself in the court, and has always been a half-time idler.

However, he has his father and two elder brothers to take care of him, and the next two younger sisters are also closest to him.

Even if he achieves nothing and eats, drinks and plays all day long, he is destined to live a safe life, and no one dares to comment.

"Third Master, time doesn't wait for me, you have to make up your mind."

"If this goes on, it will be too late, third master."

"I made a special trip to the capital but returned empty-handed. We really don't have the face to go back. I don't know how to explain to the general."

A month ago, Pei Erlang Peiying, who was far away in Xuanfu Weijiang, wrote a letter back to his home, mentioning that a traitor escaped from Xuanfu Wei and sneaked into the capital, and he had military secrets.

The generals of the frontier army couldn't leave the territory easily, so Pei Ying sent Lu Changming and several other people to guard Qianhu of Xuanfu, and asked Pei Gong to meet him in Beijing and help arrest the traitors and go back to Xuanfu.

The atmosphere became more and more stalemate, but Pei Gong still looked calm, just slightly lowered his brows: "Don't act rashly."

"These people are indeed not the Forbidden Army, but rather... the thirteenth division."

"The Thirteenth Division? Is it the inner guard?"

Lu Changming and several others looked at each other in blank dismay, and fell silent at the same time.

The inner guard is the emperor's sharp blade, the emperor's close minister.

With this relationship, there will be fear.

It is better to suffer a loss than to die, and no one will easily stick their necks and deal with the inner guard.

But thinking about the hard work of the past month, everyone naturally felt dissatisfied.

From Xuanfu to the capital, the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, and the boat and the car are exhausted.

In order to catch the thieves in the army, the people almost never had time to relax. They took turns staring at each other continuously, and they didn't even feel full of sleep.

Now it is really hard to do the game of luring fish into the bait, and wait until this opportunity to catch them all.Everyone tensed up and hoped that everything would be done in one fell swoop tonight, and it could be regarded as an explanation for others and themselves.

But it happened that they were about to arrest people, and this group of inner guards was too numerous and powerful, and they were menacing, they got the news from somewhere, and Bao Yuan amputated the entire inn in front of them.

Pei Gong obeyed his second elder brother Pei Ying's entrustment, so for more than a month, he has been acting with several officers and soldiers of Xuanfu Guard.

He knew best in his heart that it was very difficult to catch this person, and now it would be even more difficult for everyone to hand him over like this.

Not to mention Xuanfu Wei's refusal, even he, Pei Gong, couldn't see the inner guards asking for credit and picking up ready-made styles like this.

He thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Be safe and don't be impatient, there are many internal guards, and we have few strength."

"Think of a safe way first, if it doesn't work, they can snatch it from us, why can't we?"

As Pei Gong spoke, he began to look at the surrounding environment.

The streets and alleys in the city are complicated, and there are many internal guards. It is not easy to get someone out easily.

The thunder came one after another, shaking people's hearts into panic, and it also passed by again with electric light, reflecting the surroundings like daylight, so bright that it was dazzling.

But with such a brief moment of light, Pei Gong keenly glanced at a place not far behind them, as if someone was still standing there.

He couldn't help lowering his brows and looked at Ning carefully.

I only shook it for a glance, but I could see it clearly.

The man was tall and tall, standing in the middle of the empty street, clear and tall under the white light of the lightning, only the elongated shadow fell into the narrow alley beside the street.

He was wearing a hooded cloak, but he still couldn't hide the crimson red unicorn robe under the cloak, which seemed to be a pivotal role in the inner position.

I'm afraid it's the leader of the Internal Guard Association.

And that person's fingers were even more slender, with distinct joints, and in his palm was an ivory-like carving, which was constantly flipping and moving freely between the fingers.

He didn't stand with the ordinary inner guards, but he always stayed at the inn in an unhurried manner.

It only took Pei Gong a moment to react, and he immediately understood the situation.

The person in front of him is not young, he should be the leader of the inner guard.

Everyone said that the inner guard's identity was mysterious, and the co-leader's true identity was rarely known.

When Pei Gong thought about this point, he became a little interested.He still stared at it calmly, only raised his eyes slightly, trying to get a glimpse of the secret again.

The co-collar's hood was pulled up, and the wide brim covered most of his face, only when he raised his face occasionally, could he have a chance to see his face.

Unexpectedly, when Pei Gong took a closer look, he only found a black thin veil covering the man's eyes, completely covering the lower half of his face.

Under the hood, there is only a pair of fox-like smiling eyes, making it difficult to identify.

At the same time, the eyebrows and eyes under the hood suddenly lifted up as if aware of something strange, and they could meet Pei Gong's eyes.

Pei Gong froze, but he didn't have time to look away and retreated.

He just felt that his feet seemed to be stunned by something.

Before he could react any further, the army of internal guards who had surrounded the inn just now had already rushed forward, blocking all escape routes, and brought the gleaming knife rest in front of them.

"The thirteen divisions are doing things, where is the thief making trouble?"

Pei Gong sneered like self-deprecating, and then stood up with the knife in his hand. With just one look, Lu Changming behind him handed over a stack of official certificates, and handed them to the inner guard to prove his identity.

"You are the border guards of the Xuanfu Guard?" A sneer came from in front of them, "You can't be fake, right? Since you are the border guards of the Xuanfu Guard, how dare you leave your post and show up in the capital?"

Pei Gong stretched out his index finger and middle finger, and casually handed out a piece of paper: "Lu Yin is here, he came to Beijing because of military affairs."

"Heh, the preparations are quite complete." The inner guard took advantage of the fire pocket to take a few glances, and then his eyes were full of doubts: "Arrest?"

"What? Are you trying to take people from us?"

The surrounding inner guards suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and drew out their knives one after another.

"In this world, there is no one who dares to yell at the Thirteenth Division."

It's not a good feeling to be looked down upon.

What's more, those who follow behind Pei Gong are random officers who are also worthy of Xuanfu's guard. How could anyone dare to talk to them like this when they were in Xuanfu?

The crowd immediately resented: "You, a regional flag officer, are so arrogant. Our ranks in the army are lower than yours, and you are in charge to speak."

Seeing this, the interrogating inner guard laughed out loud, tearing off the guide in his hand regardless.

"It's up to you? How much courage do you have? Open your mouth and want to see the leader of the internal guards? Is it possible that you can see the leader of the inner guard if you want?"

Pei Gong calmly looked sideways, and then looked in the direction where he saw the leader of the Internal Guard Association just now, there was already no one there.

He immediately clasped the hand of the inner guard in front of him holding the piece of Lu Yin: "Speak as soon as you have something to say, even if you are an inner guard, if you tear up the official documents of Xuanfu's border army Lu Yin casually, I'm afraid it would be against the rules?"

The officers of the Xuanfu Guard behind him couldn't help but indignantly said: "We set up a group to gather these people anyway, and what's more, we arrested only our own people from the Xuanfu Guard. How can you just take them without a word of explanation? What is the reason?"

"Three or five words disagree, and we will tear up our Luyin official documents. If we can't go back to Xuanfuwei, we will sue the Ministry of War and the Jinluan Palace."

"You heard it too." Pei Gong's eyes were cold, and he clasped his hands a little tighter, "Bring you over here, don't let us say it a second time."

The inner guard who was caught obviously panicked, and said to the surroundings: "Take it down, quickly take down all these thieves who disrupted the operation."

Before the words of the order came out, some inner guards took advantage of Lu Changming's carelessness and used the hilt of a knife to smash him to his knees and kneel down.

The rumbling thunder came again, and the surroundings became more and more noisy.

Pei Gong had long complained about this group of defiant inner guards, but now seeing the inner guards beating people, he finally broke out completely.

Without saying a word, he drew his saber sharply, knocked the surrounding inner guards to the ground three or five times, and pushed the few in front of him away with the back of the saber.

Lu Changming looked at the figure coming from behind Pei Gong, and quickly shouted: "Third Master, be careful behind you..."

Pei Gong was not in a hurry to turn around, he directly swung his finely crafted and strong scabbard, took advantage of the situation, and swung it behind him with all his strength.

"Who is it, here..." Before the second half of the sentence was finished, the figure behind Pei Gong snorted and fell down.

There was a sudden commotion among the inner guards.

"Master Co-leader..."

Pei Gong was startled.

But not because of fear.

He always thought that although the inner guard could only poke people's backs and make no achievements, at least he should have some skills to walk in front of the emperor.

Now, no matter what, he never expected that a single sheath could knock down the leader of the Internal Guard Association so easily.

The Yanling Saber in Pei Gong's hand paused, then he lowered his eyes and stared at the leader of the Internal Guard Association.

There are a pair of long and narrow eyes under the hood of the co-leader, which are also slightly raised at this moment, and the cold eyes all fall on Pei Gong, the eyes are full of disgust, as if he wants to remember Pei Gong thoroughly, so that he can pronounce the sentence later Pei Gong's death.

Pei Gong pinned the scabbard slowly, and met the sight that fell on him.

He looked at each other and laughed teasingly.

"I thought the thirteen divisions were all capable people with many means, but it turned out to be nothing more than that."

"You will only be domineering and domineering in secret. With this little ability, you are also domineering in Beijing? It's really shameless."

Longevity, Pei Jian beat his wife! ! !
