"Yes, sir!"
Without asking why, the Embroidered Uniform Guards quickly left with Tian Boguang's corpse.
Du Ming paced on the street with his hands behind his back.
He had to admire the small vendors who came here to make a living.
In just a few minutes, he had disappeared with his cart and goods before the storm.
As for pedestrians, there was not a single one.
The rain poured down!
From the curtain of rain, a saberman wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat slowly walked over.
Bean-sized raindrops fell on his body, sliding down the straw raincoat and the blade.
The puddles on both sides of the street were splashing with water.
In a trance, the raindrops that fell turned into knives.
The water that splashed was also knives.
Such strong killing intent!
This was a very strong saberman, his strength far surpassing Tian Boguang.
"Sir, what's the matter?" Du Ming smiled faintly.”
"I'll kill you!”
"Ha, what grudge?"
"No enmity!"
"Ha, do you know what crime it is to assassinate the Imperial Court's Embroidered Uniform Guards commander Tongzhi on the street?”
"Alone, fearless!"
"It seems that you are very confident in killing me. Can you tell me who sent you to kill me before I die?”
"People who are about to die know too much. It will only increase their worries on the road to the Yellow Springs.”
"Ha, it's really hard to say. Why didn't you make a move just now?”
"I like killing people in the rain!"
Du Ming sighed.
This conversation was too tiring.
He didn't get any useful information.
The rain was getting heavier, but the surrounding sounds seemed to have all disappeared.
Time slowed down. The rainbow-robed guest held his saber and charged forward, shattering the curtain of rain.
In an instant, the saber light shot out and slashed down like a mountain!
This was a saber used to kill, and its saber technique was at least of the Heaven Rank.
The rainbow-robed man had practiced this move to the extreme. When he slashed out with his saber, the exploding rainwater and the saber light fused perfectly, causing people to feel an irresistible despair in an instant!
Even if they resisted, they would be affected by the rain. If they made a slight mistake in judgment, they would die.
Unfortunately, his opponent this time was Du Ming.
Hidden Saber Art!
With a clang, the Embroidered Spring Saber was already in his hand, blocking the straw raincoat guest's ultimate saber!
In that instant, Du Ming felt a sharp blade force that could break his bones and destroy his veins coming at him!
The first move of the Three Blades Against the Waves, River Flowing Against the Current!
With a change of the saber momentum, the rain that burst forth reversed, and the sharp saber force that was attacking him doubled in reverse.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them crossed paths and the embroidered spring knife returned to its sheath.
The straw raincoat guest's bamboo hat exploded into pieces, revealing his bald head.
With a clang, the knife fell to the ground.
Fresh blood flowed as he fell to the ground.
Even before he died, the guest still had a shocked expression on his face.
"Ha, why bother?"
Du Ming shook his head. With a slash of his sword finger, invisible saber energy shot out and the man's head was cut off.
Assassinating in the capital, you sure are bold.
After a while, Du Ming began to search the corpse.
Unfortunately, other than a few copper coins and a few pieces of silver, there were no other clues on the corpse.
No, there was still this knife.
It was actually mixed with dark iron. It was rich!
……
In the palace, the emperor summoned the commander of the Royal Guards, Zhu Chen, and Liu Zhi of the East Chamber.
Sword God Ximen Chuixue and Sword Sage Ye Gucheng were about to fight on the summit of the forbidden city. The Brocade Guard and East Military Hall had yet to give any specific arrangements, which made the Emperor very dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, this subject has already transferred the elite Embroidered Uniform Guards from all over the country to defend the capital and prevent the bandits from causing trouble!”
Zhu Chen, the commander of the Brocade Guard, stood up first and said.
"Lord Zhu, I heard that Du Ming has also returned to the capital?”
The pen-wielding eunuch Liu Zhi, the commander of the East Chamber, asked in a sharp voice.
"That's right! Du Ming patrolled the area, dealt with the abnormal weather in Zhejiang Province, and quelled the unrest in Shaolin Temple. He did a good job and was transferred back.”
"Your Majesty, this subject believes that Du Ming can take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the Imperial City this month!”
Previously, Du Ming had offered a suggestion. It was not a big deal to incur the hatred of the entire martial world, but it was a big deal to offend an important official of the imperial court.
In order to prevent Du Ming from being too aggressive, the Emperor had released him.
The Commander of the Brocade Guards, Zhu Chen, did not stop him and took this opportunity to sharpen Du Ming.
But he hadn't expected Du Ming to be so capable. Not only had the martial arts expert who had wanted to kill Du Ming died, but he had also gotten his colleagues from the South Garrison Discipline Office to write a petition, strongly requesting that the North Garrison Discipline Office transfer Du Ming back to the capital.
Coincidentally, the decisive battle at the summit of the forbidden city was imminent. With the excuse of protecting the imperial city, Zhu Chen wrote to the emperor to transfer the Brocade Guards from all over the country into the capital.
He added Du Ming's name to the list.
The Emperor nodded.
Speaking of which, Du Ming was considered his lucky star. Being able to stay in the Imperial City for this period of time was indeed reassuring.
