"Pei Yue, I told you last year that we still have unsettled accounts. You have made Li Zijun so miserable. Don't you think that no one will stand up for him? You haven't dared to hide outside the city for the past six months.

I don’t even have a chance to deal with you when I see someone, so today is the day to do it all. Who are you trying to scare with a broken knife? It’s just a viscount who was lucky enough to be a thief. I really don’t think people in Kyoto know that you—”

Lu Jiang's voice stopped suddenly, and Pei Yue walked up to him seemingly unhurriedly. Just when everyone, including Lu Jiang, thought they were going to open up for negotiations, he swung his knife and chopped down without hesitation.

.

The movements were completed in one go without any sloppiness, as if they had been repeated thousands of times.

If Lu Jiang hadn't been watching his movements closely, this knife would have cut him in half.

Even though he dodged in time, a large piece of his sleeve was still cut off.

Pei Yue stood with a knife in hand and asked indifferently: "What don't you know about me?"

Lu Jiang said angrily: "You attacked me secretly?"

At this time, Sun Qi and others who came with Pei Yue also rushed to the second floor and came to stand behind him. As for the yamen next to Lu Jiang, he had been beaten by Pei Yue and was thrown to the ground on the first floor.

wailing.

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Yes, if I attack you secretly, what can you do?"

Lu Jiang calmed down from his anger, glanced at the people behind Pei Yue, then looked at Sun Qi and asked coldly: "Is Shanguo Mansion also going to get involved?"

Just as Sun Qi was about to reply, Pei Yue interrupted and said, "These brothers are here to eat in Liyuan, so they stopped by to watch the fun. Lu Jiang, don't be so afraid, we won't bully you just because we have more people."

Lu Jiang looked at Pei Yue's extremely calm expression, took a deep breath and said: "Pei Yue, you took the initiative to stir up trouble today, and you deserve to be beaten to death."

"Let's not talk about who killed whom."

Pei Yue calmly turned around and asked, "You are Liyuan's grandma. Please tell me, is Miss Nanqin considered Liyuan's guest?"

The grandma looked around, looking very embarrassed, but when Pei Yue pointed the blade at her, the woman who had already seen the two swords nodded quickly and said: "That's right."

Pei Yue asked loudly: "Miss Nanqin, did Lu Jiang force you?"

Nan Qin replied decisively: "Yes."

Pei Yue then looked at Lu Jiang and said, "Did you hear that clearly?"

Lu Jiang sneered and said, "What does this matter have to do with you?"

Pei Yue's eyes became a little pitiful, and he said sarcastically: "Is there something wrong with your brain? Didn't this nanny tell you that Miss Nanqin's identity is in the hands of my brother Gu Fan, and her life and death are naturally up to me.

Brother has decided. Now that Gu Fan is away, I will take care of Nanqin’s safety. You come here and force her to commit suicide, and you still say you have nothing to do with me?”

Before Lu Jiang could continue to talk, Pei Yue suddenly scolded: "Pour Miss Nanqin some tea to apologize, and I can let you go."

Lu Jiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed uncontrollably and said, "Are you fucking crazy?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "No? Well, I heard that you have been in the border army for two years, so you must not be so timid. Besides, you are pretending to be a disciple of General Wu Xun, so I will give you a chance."

He put his sword on the ground and said calmly: "Go to your soldiers and ask for a weapon. I will fight with you. I will be responsible for my life and death. Do you dare?"

Lu Jiang seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. After he returned to Beijing, he naturally inquired about Pei Yue's background and found out that he was just a bastard who had difficulty eating enough and had no chance to practice martial arts. Although he had served with the Beijing army

His achievements in suppressing thieves were mostly due to Gu Liang Fenrun. Even if he had practiced diligently for more than a year, could he still be better than himself?

After all, there are very few geniuses like Gu Fan. The Lu Jiang family's martial arts is not weak, otherwise Lu Min would not have become a martial arts master among the descendants of the founding princes of this generation.

"You asked for it. Today's duel has nothing to do with anyone else. No matter what the final result is, don't ask anyone to complain and say that I bullied you!" Lu Jiang sneered several times and strode away from the second floor without going to the front floor.

, those soldiers had already received the news and came to Zhaoqing Tower to confront the soldiers brought by Pei Yue and others downstairs.

Lu Cheng said with some worry: "Pei Yue, let me do it."

His nickname came from fighting with others over the years. The so-called Mangzi is a nickname for being brave and not afraid of death.

Pei Yue shook his head slightly. Lu Cheng wanted to persuade him again, so he heard Sun Qi next to him say: "Okay, Brother Yue has his own sense of measure. When have you ever seen him act recklessly?"

Lu Cheng thought to himself, of course I know this, but isn’t there a beautiful woman who can conquer the country? What if this boy is so passionate that he wants to show off in front of the beauty, but ends up being hacked to death by Lu Jiang?

Pei Yue walked up to Nan Qin, looked straight and clear, and said gently: "Miss Nanqin, please stay here for a while, I will take care of the outside matters."

"Thank you." Nan Qin's eyes showed gratitude, but other than that, he showed no emotion.

"No need." Pei Yue nodded appreciatively. She is a smart and sensible woman. No wonder Gu Fan is so affectionate towards her.

In the open space outside Zhaoqing Building, the situation was about to escalate.

The soldiers of both sides faced each other face to face. After Pei Yue came out, they each retreated more than ten steps, leaving the middle area open.

Lu Jiang stood on the right with two knives in his hands, and said with a ferocious smile: "Wait to die."

Pei Yue's eyes darkened. He didn't like people who used double swords as weapons. He curled his lips slightly and said, "There's so much nonsense."

Then his left foot suddenly kicked off the ground, and his body rushed straight towards Lu Jiang like an arrow from the string.

Sun Qi and others stood by the door and watched. Although they all believed that Pei Yue was not an impulsive person, they were really nervous at the moment. Cheng'an Houfu was not a small household, and they had all heard of Lu Min's reputation.

The family background is certainly not bad, and Lu Jiang's posture looks like a real master.

After Pei Yue took action, Lu Cheng frowned slightly and whispered: "Pei Yue's action is a bit simple."

He read it right. Pei Yue's movements were very simple. He just sprinted quickly, then held the knife with both hands and struck with one extremely simple move.

Lu Jiang showed a contemptuous smile. Martial arts practice focused on practicing hard day after day. He wanted to know where Pei Yue got the courage to duel with him.

The blade had arrived, and Lu Jiang folded his swords in front of him to block.

"clang--"

Sparks flew.

Lu Jiang's expression suddenly changed, and his two swords were cut open by Pei Yue, leaving the door in his chest wide open.

Pei Yue stepped forward, raised his right knee, and hit Lu Jiang's lower abdomen hard.

Lu Jiang couldn't bear the pain and quickly retreated. Pei Yue took advantage of the situation and used the knife as a spear to sweep across Lu Jiang's right face with the back of the knife.

Lu Jiang groaned, unable to even scream. After spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with his teeth, his body fell to the ground as limply as wadding.

There was deathly silence in front of Zhaoqing Tower.

Nan Qin, who was watching from the window on the second floor, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Lu Xiang stared at Pei Yue like a monster, swallowing his saliva unconsciously.

In the hunting night wind, Pei Yue sheathed his sword and said to the restless soldiers of Cheng'an Marquis Mansion: "Carry him back. If you, the Marquis, ask, just tell him directly."

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion, and finally two tall men came out and carried Lu Jiang away who had passed out.

"Wait a minute, there's another one inside." Pei Yue pointed to Zhaoqing Building.

The soldiers had no choice but to go in and carry out the Ya Nei who was still screaming in a low voice.

Sun Qi and others still couldn't recover from the shock. They all knew Pei Yue's character and guessed that he must have some tricks, but no one thought that Lu Jiang would be so vulnerable. They originally thought it was a fierce battle.

, who knew it would end in a matter of seconds, leaving them with an unreal feeling.

Of course, Pei Yue would not tell them that in addition to his own talent and diligence, he had two top masters, Mr.

Even Gu Fan has to admit that he is a master.

Looking around the world, who would have such conditions?

If he can't even deal with Lu Jiang, he will definitely end up miserable, because Ye Qi will torture him even more harshly.

After leading everyone back to the second floor, Pei Yue said to Nan Qin: "Girl, since your body is in my hands, don't stay here anymore. I'm worried that similar things will happen in the future."

Nan Qin thought for a while, lowered his head and said with a blessing: "Master Gu told me that if he is not in the capital, everything will be arranged by Lord Pei."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "If you think highly of me, just call me Brother Pei."

Nan Qin was slightly startled, looked at Pei Yue's calm and clear eyes, and replied softly: "I will follow what Brother Pei said."

The grandma who left the garden looked for a carriage with a mournful look on her face. After Pei Yue asked Nan Qin and her personal maid to get on the carriage, he led dozens of people to escort them back to the Xiangyun Store's head office and temporarily arranged them in the back house.

Set up in a small independent courtyard, and we will decide the specific place to go another day.

After he settled the matter and gave Nan Qin a few instructions at the entrance of the small courtyard, he just turned around and saw a figure standing with his hands behind his back, looking like a master.
