Obviously, people in the city lord's palace had expected that Wen Yuzhou would definitely come here, so they had already made preparations.
The soldier who followed behind him but never stopped him was the other party's method of leaving behind him.
Wen Yuzhou gently stroked the hilt of the Hengdao that had not been sheathed for a long time, and resolutely stepped into the house. From this trip, there may be no way back.
As soon as I stepped through the door and walked not far, the door suddenly closed with a bang.
Wen Yuzhou paused slightly, did not look back, and continued walking forward, following the road made of bluestone slabs, passing through a courtyard, bypassing a stone screen, and arriving outside the main entrance of the city lord's reception hall.
The originally dim courtyard suddenly lit up with fire, making it as bright as day.
There are two people sitting on the steps. The one on the left is the city lord Qu Gangu, and the one on the right is Pei Ju, the envoy of the Sui Dynasty.
Wen Yuzhou saw Pei Ju. He took two steps forward, bowed to him respectfully, and then saluted Qu Qiangu.
Pei Ju returned the courtesy and said: "My lord, I pay my respects to Duke Jie. I wonder why Duke Jie does not enjoy peace in Chang'an, but instead comes to this place in the Western Regions with the traitors?"
After Wen Yuzhou was deposed from the throne, he was demoted to Duke Jie. His two younger brothers had already been killed by Yang Jian.
Wen Yuzhou said: "Shilang Pei, I am here only to take away my cousin. From now on, she will flee to the Western Regions and will never enter China. I will never threaten His Majesty's throne. I ask Shilang Pei to be accommodating."
Pei Ju pretended to be surprised and said: "Why did the Duke say this? Does Your Majesty really care about the Duke's intention to restore the country?"
Of course, I would like to believe that the Duke is innocent, but after all, you are in the same place as the Yuchi rebels. Even if you have no intention of rebelling, you can't stand up to the unpredictability of people's hearts. Everyone's words are worth gold."
Wen Yuzhou slightly clenched his fists, chuckled, and said, "What do you want, Minister Pei?"
At this time, two guards brought Yuchi Wenya up. They saw that Yuchi Wenya's clothes were relatively clean and there were no signs of being insulted. Wen Yuzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't know that Bi Xiuxin had secretly helped.
When Yuchi Wenya was brought into the guarded room, a group of guards and servants around Pei Ju were ready to greet her all night long.
By chance, she was caught by Bi Xiuxin who was returning to the city. She did not come forward directly, but just played the Qudong Xiao in her room, and the sound of the flute was filled with anger.
The eardrums of this group of guards and servants with evil intentions were shattered, so that they immediately stopped and no one dared to think any more.
Pei Ju, who heard the sound of the flute, also knew Bi Xiuxin's attitude, and immediately ordered everyone not to harass the prisoners at will.
As a result, Yuchi Wenya managed to maintain his innocence.
When he met Wen Yuzhou this time, he immediately screamed out in surprise.
"Cousin! Cousin, please help me get out of here!"
Wen Yuzhou nodded slightly, looked at Pei Ju and said, "Mr. Pei, please let her go first. I am willing to return to Chang'an with you."
Pei Ju shook his head meaningfully and said: "The Duke will return to the Sui Dynasty with his ministers, but in order to clear the Duke's suspicion, it is best for the Duke to cooperate with us and kill these rebels together. In this way, Your Majesty
I will not blame the Duke for leaving Chang'an without permission."
Wen Yuzhou sighed and said, "It seems that Minister Pei not only doesn't want to let me go, but also doesn't want to let my friend go."
"How can Duke Jie Guo lower his status and call a traitor a friend?"
Pei Ju said, looking at the two guards who were holding Yuchi Wenya hostage, and ordered: "For the sake of Duke Jie Guo's reputation, kill her."
One of the guards immediately drew his knife and slashed it at the back of Yuchi Wenya's neck!
However, before his knife fell, it froze in mid-air. In an instant, the blade became brittle due to freezing and broke into several pieces on the spot.
The guard's attention was focused on his sword, and he did not notice Wen Yuzhou approaching with extremely fast movement.
In an instant, the two guards were each hit with a palm, and a cold air entered their bodies, making them unable to move, and then they fell to the ground.
Wen Yuzhou grabbed Yuchi Wenya and landed in front of the screen mural, surrounded by the guards of the city lord's palace with ill intentions.
Qu Gangu, the lord of Gaochang City, looked at Pei Ju and said, "Mr. Pei, is this person the former Zhou Zhou Emperor?"
Pei Ju said: "Now that the world belongs to the Sui Dynasty, it is better for the city lord not to be named Zhou in advance."
Qu Gangu let out a few dry laughs and said, "Then how should we deal with this person?"
Pei Ju smiled and said: "Of course I have to capture him and bring him back to Chang'an."
As soon as he finished speaking, a purple figure jumped out of the field and immediately struck Wen Yu Zhou with a wave of his palm.
His palm skills are extremely exquisite, and what makes people even more fearful is that he possesses the Purple Qi Divine Skill, which seems to be able to form an invisible aura and discharge the opponent's true energy in all directions!
This is the unique skill of the Qing Dao, the Purple Qi Tianluo!
Faced with such magical power, Wen Yuzhou did not dare to give in.
He had rescued Yuchi Wenya just now and immediately opened her acupuncture points. Unexpectedly, after the acupuncture was released, Yuchi Wenya was injured secretly. She could not raise her true energy and walked slowly and slowly. She could not help him at all and became the most helpless person for him at the moment.
of burden.
Even so, Wen Yuzhou could never abandon him. He could only protect him behind his back and fight with the incoming Tianjun Xi Ying with only his palms.
Xi Ying fought with him for several rounds and praised: "The internal strength of the little girl is good! Unfortunately, the martial arts is ordinary. You and this girl can't leave today!"
As he spoke, he increased the pressure of Ziqi Tianluo, and the cold and cold energy emitted by Wen Yuzhou's Bingxuan Jin was drawn to other places, unable to hurt Xi Ying at all.
In addition, he was unable to use his footwork at the moment, making his situation even more dangerous. It seemed that he would be defeated by Xi Ying in a short time.
If it were a normal competition, a young man like him would be proud to lose to the fourth master of the demonic path.
But now life and death are on the line, and defeat is the same as death, so Wen Yuzhou's potential has been stimulated.
The horizontal sword on his waist popped out of the sheath on its own, and he turned around and grabbed it in his hand. Then the blade struck Xi Ying's Purple Qi Tianluo.
This sword has no Yinhan power at all!
The air is filled with the smell of burning, and the sword technique is actually filled with the power of the Sun burning in flames!
Although the wood-burning sword technique is also a unique skill of his Yuwen family, this sword technique is not superior and cannot match the powerful control ability of Bing Xuanjin.
In addition, if you practice Bing Xuan Jin and then practice the Burning Wood Sword Technique, it will be difficult to succeed in the practice due to the incompatibility of your own internal strength attributes.
However, through Xu Yin's training back then, Wen Yuzhou's body was completely transformed, and he actually realized a martial arts realm that was higher than the traditional martial arts from Bing Xuanjin's top-level mental skills.
That is to turn extreme yin into yang, using quantitative changes to produce qualitative changes, so that his extremely cold true energy can be transformed into extreme yang true energy. From this, he can perform the wood-burning sword technique, and the power will be increased several times!
This kind of extremely yin and yang martial arts cannot be resolved by Xi Ying, who has never achieved great martial arts. His Purple Qi Tianluo immediately failed, and Wen Yuzhou was almost hit by several swords in succession, and he retreated in embarrassment.
He looked at the young man holding a horizontal knife in front of him in shock, with an incredible look in his eyes that could no longer be concealed.
At this time, a mocking voice came, "Hahaha, Xi Ying! You have lived for nearly sixty years, but you have almost lived in the dog's belly. You can't even beat a fledgling young man. I think it's better to commit suicide as soon as possible."
