The prince is very cruel

The groom's face changed in shock when he heard this. Is there someone there?

The only sound on the long street was the sound of falling snow, and it was eerily quiet.

rustling...

Then, a slight sound of stepping on snow was heard, and a figure emerged in the darkness. He was seven feet tall and not very strong, but very tall. The whole person was like a sharp sword, giving people a strong sense of oppression. Even the horses did not dare to move forward.

The three grooms were shocked. There really was someone there!

Guan Ning's pupils shrank slightly. It was Yuwen Hongdu!

He always knew that the Imperial Guards were chasing him, but he didn't expect them to appear here.

"We meet again. You gave me a hard time finding you. Should I call you Ning Que or Guan Ning?"

Yuwen Hongdu's head was covered with white snow, and his tone was calm, as if he had met an old friend, without any murderous intent.

Guan Ning took a deep breath and alerted his surroundings. Yuwen Hongdu had arrived, which meant that this place was controlled by the imperial guards and they had directly bypassed the power of Prince Ping's Mansion!

"I don't understand what you are talking about. I don't know any Guan Ning."

Yuwen Hongdu smiled contemptuously: "I have been tracking you for a long time. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Once I uncover your disguise, everything will be known."

As soon as the words fell, the cold air dropped again, as if it was not snow but sharp blades that fell.

"and many more!"

Guan Ning said in a low voice.

"They are innocent. You won't kill them indiscriminately, right?"

Yuwen Hongdu smiled playfully: "So, you admit your identity?"

Guan Ning still shook his head: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Since you don't admit it, then let's stay together." Yuwen Hongdu's calm voice revealed an unyielding majesty, which was far superior to the pursuers he had encountered in recent days.

"You can give it a try. They are from Prince Ping's Mansion. Sitting inside is the only daughter of the Grand Marshal of Zizhou. If you dare to do anything to them."

"When the time comes, Prince Ping and Sima Yuan will join forces to impeach you. Even if your status is high, you probably won't be able to withstand it, right?" Guan Ning said calmly.

Yuwen Hongdu's face darkened: "They are shielding criminals and should be held accountable!"

"Is it?"

"Are you so sure that I'm the wanted criminal?"

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of arresting the wrong person?"

"Have you ever thought about what King Ping thinks?"

The repeated questions left Yuwen Hong speechless and his face turned ugly.

Indeed, the palace guards went to Prince Ping's territory to arrest people without any notice. Prince Ping had just made a great contribution recently. If the matter got out of hand, not only would people be offended.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to report to His Majesty. After all, the world is unstable now, and we rely on these people to guard the various places.

After hesitating for a long time, he looked at Guan Ning coldly: "You, surrender, I won't hurt anyone."

His tone was that of an order, an order from the heavenly palace overlooking the world!

Wow…

At the same time, the wind around them became louder, and dark shadows emerged from all directions. Each one of them posed a powerful threat and was the true elite of the Imperial Guards!

As for this group of people, their abilities in assassination and pursuit are far superior to those of Zhao Tai's personal guards and Zheng's masters.

They all locked onto Guan Ning, on high alert, forming a dragon-locking formation from which there was no possibility of escape, whether in heaven or on earth.

The night was cold and gloomy, Guan Ning's black hair was flying and his face was solemn. He knew very well that there would be big trouble tonight!

But he was not afraid, instead he said coldly: "Let them leave first."

"When fighting, swords and knives have no eyes. I don't mind, but if they get hurt, it will be difficult for you to leave Lingjun City."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Hongdu laughed out of anger.

"Are you using them to threaten me?"

"Do you think I'll fall for your trick?" He raised his voice, looking like he was about to take action.

But Guan Ning didn't buy it and said directly: "You can give it a try."

Suddenly, the entire cold night almost froze, and Yuwen Hongdu's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent. He was sure that the person in front of him was most likely Guan Ning.

But his mission was to capture Guan Ning, and it was indeed a complications to mobilize Prince Ping and Yuan Sima's men.

Hesitated for a long time.

He actually compromised: "Let them go!"

"Yes!"

The palace guards in black brocade robes made way for them.

"Young Master..." The grooms were uneasy.

"Let's go quickly and bring her back safely." Guan Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yuwen Hong was not a mad dog like Zhao Tai. He knew the importance of the matter and did not target the coachman and Yuan Xiang.

Otherwise, tonight will only be more difficult for him.

"Yes!"

"Quick, let's go!"

The coachman pulled the carriage, sweating coldly in the middle of winter, and crawled away.

Guan Ning watched her the whole time, with a look of reluctance in his eyes. He thought that he might not be able to say goodbye to Yuan Xiang properly.

Miss Yuan, take care.

He muttered to himself.

When the carriage left the street, the cold air around began to whistle, like a knife, blowing across the cheeks of everyone present.

"I'll give you one last chance, surrender." Yuwen Hongdu said.

"Then I may let down your kindness, sir." Guan Ning said calmly.

Yuwen Hongdu said no more, and there was a loud bang!

He tore off his brocade robe, revealing a dark-colored tight-fitting suit underneath. On his waist was a willow-leaf long sword bestowed by the emperor, looking extremely powerful.

He pulled it out with a bang, the blade flashed, and the snow was cut without a trace.

"Whether you admit it or not, it doesn't matter."

"You are the only one who can escape from my hands several times. I don't bully the weak with my numbers. I have always wanted to have a fair duel with you to see how strong you are!" He pointed his knife at Guan Ning.

Guan Ning raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised: "You want a one-on-one fight?"

"Sir." An imperial guard seemed to feel something was wrong.

"Get out!"

"No one is allowed to talk too much, and no one is allowed to take action." Yuwen Hongdu shouted in a low voice, and his eyes showed a strong fighting spirit, wanting to compete with Guan Ning.

As the youngest commander of the Imperial Guards and the strongest fighter, he is very proud. He was embarrassed for letting Guan Ning escape before, so he must save face and prove himself.

Although the palace guards felt that it was unnecessary, since the master had spoken, they naturally did not dare to say much. Moreover, they did not think that Yuwen Hong would lose, so they all took a step back.

Immediately afterwards, Yuwen Hongdu threw a long sword towards Guan Ning and stabbed him in front of him.

"bring it on!"

Yuwen Hongdu shouted loudly, and his body turned into a shadow like a leopard, pouncing towards Guan Ning.

Although they were mortal enemies, Guan Ning showed some respect to Yuwen Hongdu at this moment. He raised his sword and blocked it horizontally.

boom!

Sparks flew from the two men's long swords.

Yuwen Hongdu's swordsmanship was sharp and fierce, rough yet delicate, with almost no flaws. It could be said that he put Guan Ning under considerable pressure with just one move.

Bang bang bang!

The two men quickly engaged in a fierce battle, sparks flying, and fought for more than twenty swords, but there was no winner.

Snowflakes are flying all over the sky, it's so solemn.

"Ah!" Yuwen Hongdu roared angrily, and flew over, holding a knife in both hands, and split Huashan with all his strength.

Guan Ning's pupils shrank and he dodged the knife.

boom!

The stone steps on the street were directly blown apart by his sword, leaving a deep gully, which was so terrifying.

"You can't run away!" After slashing the air with his sword, the experienced Yuwen Hongdu did not pause, but swept out with his sword again, pressing forward step by step.
