Chapter 135: Fighting at Luofeng Pavilion
Mu Lanfeng looked at the spy who had fallen to the ground and a trace of doubt flashed through her mind. She cautiously approached the fallen spy and reached out to feel his breath, but found no signs of life.
The spy's face was blue-gray, his lips were purple, and his eyes were dark. It was obvious that he committed suicide by taking poison!
They usually hide the poison between their teeth, and the poison is wrapped in a special film. Once captured, they will immediately bite through the film, leaving no chance of survival!
They are exactly the same as the spies in Ruiyun Palace during the day, so they should be from the same group.
Afterwards, Mu Lanfeng began to search the spy, his movements as swift as the wind. After a careful search, he found a topographic map of Liuyue City and a token from the spy. The material was special, neither gold nor wood. It felt heavy in the hand, and seemed to have a faint chill.
The word "Eagle" is engraved on the front of the token, and a flying goshawk is on the back.
She put the map and token safely into her pocket.
Turning around, she saw a cellar in front of her. She dragged the corpse over and kicked it down.
After everything was done, Mu Lanfeng clapped his hands and walked out of the dead end.
Liuyue City has not been peaceful recently. In order to ensure the safety of foreign diplomatic envoys, the emperor specially sent the imperial guards to patrol.
It happens that tonight the chief of the imperial guards, Zhou Yitian, is leading a patrol.
Mu Lanfeng looked at the patrol team from afar and his heart tightened. At this moment, if he went out rashly and ran into the Yulin Army, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
She quickly observed the surrounding environment, looked for a place to hide, and hid in!
She waited until the patrol team went away before she walked out carefully.
"Fifth Miss, why are you here so late?"
Mu Lanfeng turned around and saw that it was Qin Qianyou, the personal guard beside Li Zeqi. She was slightly startled, and then quickly recovered: "Guard Qin, I have something to ask your prince, but I didn't expect to run into the patrol team. I just waited for them to leave. Is the prince in the mansion?"
Qin Qianyou's face was solemn and he shook his head, "No!"
"Do you know where he went?" Mu Lanfeng asked.
"The prince has always been a solitary person and hates having anyone follow him. We haven't seen him since he left the palace in the afternoon." Qin Qianyou said helplessly.
Mu Lanfeng looked at Qin Qianyou carefully, and a slight ripple appeared in her heart. She wondered secretly whether the man in front of her could be trusted.
"Fifth Miss, please forgive me for asking a question, but I wonder what you want to talk to the prince about?" Qin Qianyou asked cautiously.
"Do you know where your prince is most likely to appear?" Mu Lanfeng answered the question irrelevantly.
Qin Qianyou looked embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "Fifth Miss, the prince's actions are always unpredictable. I really don't know where he is most likely to appear. But when the prince was in a bad mood, he would occasionally go to Luofeng Pavilion on the outskirts of the city to sit for a while. But now is an extraordinary period, and I am not sure whether the prince will go there."
Luofeng Pavilion?
"Only a person with a broken brain would go there in such a cold day." Mu Lanfeng complained secretly in his heart.
However, despite this, she still decided to go to Luofeng Pavilion to take a look.
She glanced at Qin Qianyou and said, "I see. Go and do your thing. If the prince returns home, please tell him to find me at the Mu Mansion."
"Understood! Fifth Miss!" Qin Qianyou bowed his head and folded his hands in response, then turned and left.
It was a cold day, with faint moonlight, a silent city gate, and a few lights flickering on the city walls.
Mu Lanfeng quietly came to the city gate, only to see that it was heavily guarded and the light of torches flickered in the night wind.
She observed the patrol patterns of the guards and waited for the best opportunity. When the guards' attention was slightly distracted, she flashed like a ghost and rushed towards the city wall like an agile cheetah.
He tapped the ground with his toes and jumped up gently, using the uneven parts of the city wall to perform light skills and float up like a feather. His figure was so light that he seemed to blend into the night.
When she approached the top of the city wall, she carefully controlled her breathing, climbed up lightly with both hands, and landed steadily on the city wall.
After a brief pause, it leaped again, floated down from the city wall, and landed silently on the ground outside the city.
Mu Lanfeng dusted himself off and rushed towards Luofeng Pavilion on the outskirts of the city with a determined look in his eyes.
The Luofeng Pavilion on the outskirts of the city looks particularly lonely under the cold moonlight.
Mu Lanfeng approached quietly, but heard the sound of fierce fighting.
Her heart tightened and she quickly hid her body, carefully looking in the direction where the voice came from, only to see that Li Zeqi was indeed in Luofeng Pavilion, tightly surrounded by five or six men in black.
Those men in black all had calm auras and stern eyes, and they were obviously top masters.
Li Zeqi held a long sword in his hand, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
His robe fluttered in the wind and his hair was a little messy, but the aura he exuded was undiminished.
He has a nimble figure, sharp sword moves, and each move carries great power.
However, facing the siege of so many masters, he seemed a little struggling.
A man in black suddenly swung his sword at him, and the sword's force was as fast as lightning. Li Zeqi dodged sideways and stabbed the opponent with his backhand.
Another man in black took the opportunity to attack from behind, and Li Zeqi had to turn around to defend himself. His movements were as fast as lightning, but the man in black cooperated well and continued to attack from all directions.
Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of Li Zeqi's forehead, and his breathing became rapid.
His eyes were full of determination and indomitable spirit, and he swung the sword in his hand more violently. He kept changing his moves, trying to break through the siege of the men in black. However, the men in black did not retreat at all. Their attacks became more and more fierce, as if they wanted to put Li Zeqi to death.
Mu Lanfeng hid in the dark, watching the situation nervously. When she found the right moment, her eyes flashed and she rushed out like an arrow. She shook her wrist and the long red whip sprang out like a snake.
The long whip drew a beautiful arc in the air, and with a sharp sound of breaking wind, it lashed fiercely at a man in black.
The man in black hurriedly swung his sword to block, but the whip was extremely flexible and bypassed the sword and hit his arm directly.
The man in black felt pain and paused. Mu Lanfeng took the opportunity to swing the whip again. This time, the whip was like a burning flame, and it quickly wrapped around the ankle of the other man in black. She pulled hard, and the man in black lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Mu Lanfeng's whip seemed to have life in her hands, sometimes as tough as a steel cable, sometimes as soft as a ribbon. She kept changing her moves, making it difficult for the man in black to figure her out.
Wherever the whip went, dust flew and the momentum was intimidating.
Standing back to back with Li Zeqi and making eye contact, Mu Lanfeng waved his whip while paying attention to the movements around him. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to help Li Zeqi get out of the predicament.
Mu Lanfeng's figure was as fast as lightning, moving freely among the men in black. She turned her wrist slightly, and the long whip was like a burning fire snake, lashing at a man in black who was about to attack Li Zeqi.
The man in black opened his eyes wide in horror, but he had no time to dodge and was hit hard by the whip. He flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Mu Lanfeng's eyes were cold, and she shouted coldly, swinging the whip again. The whip made a sharp whistling sound in the air. A man in black tried to attack her from behind, but she seemed to have eyes on her back. She flashed and whipped the man in black with her backhand, knocking him to the ground.
Sweat dripped down Mu Lanfeng's forehead. She gritted her teeth and wielded the long whip in her hand more fiercely. Wherever the long whip went, dust flew up, and the men in black were forced to retreat step by step.
