I made the villain right.

Shi Jin and Fan Hua walked through the alley and came to another street.

After walking for a while, Shi Jin saw a group of imperial guards walking towards them not far away.

In order to avoid meeting them, Fan Hua pulled Shi Jin and walked in the opposite direction. However, after walking a few steps, they found another team of imperial guards searching behind them.

There was no place to hide on this street, and they were caught in a dilemma as they were attacked from both sides.

Shi Jin glanced at the tea shop nearest to them and saw a few middle-aged ladies chatting together. He immediately pulled Fan Hua to sit in the empty seat next to the middle-aged ladies and hid among the group of middle-aged ladies.

The lady in yellow saw two people suddenly sitting next to her and couldn't help but look at them.

The next second he leaned over and asked, "What kind of tea would you like?"

Shi Jin saw her suddenly approaching him, and was afraid that she would recognize him, so he held his chin with his hand and turned his head away, looking as if he wished he could break his neck.

Shi Jin's voice was a little stiff: "Just anything"

On the other hand, Fan Hua on the opposite side just lowered his head and looked down.

The lady in yellow focused her attention on Shi Jin and didn't look closely at Fan Hua's appearance. She didn't realize for a moment that Fan Hua was the person in the portrait.

Seeing Shi Jin's strange behavior, the lady in yellow couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Facing the aunt's sudden concern, Shi Jin opened his mouth and said, "I accidentally fell from a tree yesterday, and fell face first and sprained my neck."

The old lady understood, turned around and brought them a pot of tea, put it on their table, and said politely, "You two, enjoy your meal."

After the old lady finished speaking, she sat back in her seat in the melon-eating team. As they were talking, they suddenly started complaining.

"Kyoto is under lockdown and no one is allowed to go out. No one waters my vegetable garden outside the city, and it's probably all dead. My cousin was originally planning to come to Kyoto to visit her relatives, but now Kyoto is under lockdown and no one can get in. I don't know when it will be lifted. These days of lockdown have been really awful."

Then, the purple-clothed lady said bitterly, "It's really terrible. Last night, my husband and I were sleeping soundly, and suddenly someone rushed into our house and searched everywhere, making it impossible for us to sleep."

The slender lady in red seemed to be dissatisfied with their behavior. She said, "There are still imperial guards patrolling the streets, arresting people with portraits. They even arrested me yesterday. I am old enough to be the mother of Shi Jin. Do you think we look alike? It's ridiculous. Seeing this group of people making Kyoto so chaotic, I am angry."

After saying that, the lady in red got angry and took a sip of tea to calm down. She put the teacup down with a slightly heavier movement, which made some noise.

Hearing the gossip of the aunties, Fan Hua looked calm and seemed uninterested, but Shi Jin couldn't help but smile. The aunties' words were quite interesting.

A faint light flashed across Fan Hua's eyes. It seemed that there were many people in Kyoto who were dissatisfied with Qin Yixian's hegemonic rule.

Fan Hua remained focused at all times, paying attention to the movements around him. He saw from the corner of his eye that the imperial guards were approaching the tea stall, and a layer of frost formed between his brows.

The ladies were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice the approach of the imperial guards. The lady in purple robe raised her head and saw that the imperial guards were about ten feet away from them. She was startled and lowered her voice to remind her sisters.

"Stop talking, they are coming"

The Imperial Guards had a bad reputation, so when the ladies heard this, they quickly shut up, lowered their eyes, and tried not to look at the group of people.

"Stop, you two." Two men in black who were passing by the tea shop were suddenly stopped by an imperial guard.

The two men in black had no choice but to stand still when they heard this. When they saw the imperial guards approaching, they asked cautiously, "Sir, what do you want?"

The guard looked them over and said sternly, "Put your hands out!"

The man in black heard this with a blank look in his eyes, and did as he was told the next second.

At this time, the imperial guard lifted up his sleeves and carefully examined his arms to see if there were any tattoos. He had received a request from his superiors to focus on checking those with Fengyun Pavilion patterns on their bodies.

When the imperial guard saw that there were no patterns on the hands of the two men, he checked the back of their necks. The two men became stiff and felt cold on their backs, fearing that their necks would be cut in the next second.

Shi Jin and Fan Hua saw that the imperial guards conducted a thorough inspection without showing any worry on their faces.

After learning that the Imperial Guards were going to check tattoos, they came up with a plan to deal with it last night.

The iconic patterns on the Dark Guards were originally tattooed with a special liquid, but can be hidden with potions.

Last night, they hid their tattoos. This way, if the Fengyun Pavilion's secret guards pretended to be ordinary people and hid in the crowd, the imperial guards would not be able to detect them.

Now Shi Jin is more concerned about the situation on Du Xuan's side. It will take some time for them to rush from the secret passage in the mansion to the courtyard on West Street.

Their purpose of coming to East Street was to lure the patrol soldiers from West Street to East Street so that Du Xuan and his team could go to Fumengxuan smoothly. The reason why Shi Jin and his team did not reveal their identities now was that they were just waiting for Du Xuan and his team to arrive at the courtyard on West Street before taking any action.

Shi Jin looked around at the imperial guards on the street, then turned his eyes away, dipped his hand in the tea in the cup, and wrote on the tea table: Is it time?

Fan Hua saw the words on the tea table and nodded. Shi Jin exchanged glances with Fan Hua for a moment. Fan Hua took out the silver and put it on the table, then the two of them stood up together.

"Let's go." After checking, the imperial guard let the two men in black pass.

Just as Shi Jin was about to turn around and leave the teahouse, a sharp-eyed imperial guard noticed the two of them and immediately called out to them, "You two stay here for now and cooperate with the inspection."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jin and Fan Hua paused and stopped. The eyes of the people around them instantly focused on them.

When the imperial guards saw them stop, they came into the tea shop and approached them. When they were two steps away from them, the two of them suddenly turned around. When the imperial guards saw their faces, they were shocked. "It's you." Before he could finish his words, the whip in Shi Jin's hand had already hit him, and he was knocked out of the tea stall.

With a loud bang, Shi Jin and Fan Hua walked out of the tea shop calmly. The lady in yellow widened her eyes like bells when she saw Shi Jin walking out of her sight. The ferocity of her beating was not like that of someone who had twisted his neck. At this time, she had already recognized Shi Jin and Fan Hua.

Seeing this, the imperial guards on the street quickly ran over and surrounded them. In an instant, a murderous aura circulated around them.

Seeing this, Shi Jin smiled and said, "I'm so sorry. I made you look for me so hard. My husband and I are here right now."

The leading imperial guard saw Shi Jin's arrogance and Fan Hua's calm look. The coldness in his eyes made people feel timid, so he planned to find reinforcements. Then he took out a flare from his arms, pulled it, and with a loud bang, a dazzling signal appeared in the air.

In a blink of an eye, Shi Jin leaped up and hit several people with a sharp whip. Wherever the whip went, there were endless screams. At the same time, Fan Hua also threw out several hidden weapons and knocked down four people.

Seeing several people behind Fan Hua drawing their swords, Shi Jin turned around and rushed forward. Fan Hua seemed to know what her next move would be. He tacitly grabbed Shi Jin's hand. With Fan Hua's help, Shi Jin leaped into the air, her body as light as a swallow. Her feet were like fleeting shadows, kicking hard at the chests of several enemy soldiers who rushed over. In the blink of an eye, those people fell to the ground one after another.

At that moment, a flare arrow was fired from another place in East Street. This flare arrow was fired when Wei Dong found more than a dozen dead bodies of imperial guards on East Street during his patrol. He then pulled the flare arrow to inform the imperial guards in each street that there were enemies and to alert them.

Somewhere on West Street, Du Xuan happened to meet the Imperial Guards on patrol. He was hiding in the dark with his men and was about to fight with those Imperial Guards when he was stopped by the sound of the arrow.

Gu Cheng and Du Xuan looked at each other, and it went without saying that Fan Hua had already started to act.

The imperial guards patrolling the street saw the signal in the air and immediately rushed in that direction. In a moment, Du Xuan and his men were free of obstacles and passed through that street smoothly and went into another alley.

East Street.

As soon as the flares were fired, the nearby imperial guards rushed over one after another. Shi Jin saw that more and more enemy troops were coming, so she whipped harder and harder. She whipped as fast as the wind, leaving behind a trail of afterimages and making a whistling sound, which was frightening. Soon, a group of people fell down.

Fan Hua could not use his internal force, so his killing power was weaker than before. He just dodged the enemy's sword and kicked the man hard, sending him flying away. Then he suddenly turned around and swept his leg across, knocking the enemy soldiers on both sides to the ground.

Realizing that there was an enemy soldier who was about to launch a sneak attack from behind, Fan Hua turned his body to the side, and the enemy soldier's arm was placed on his shoulder. He raised his shoulder, grabbed the enemy soldier's hand, twisted it off, took the knife from his hand, turned around and swung the knife, leaving a knife mark on the man's neck. Blood gushed out, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open in horror and died.

Seeing an imperial guard trying to get up and continue fighting, Fan Hua swung the knife in his hand directly, piercing the man's chest. The man suddenly vomited blood and died with his eyes open.

Seeing that the imperial guards present had been almost eliminated, Fan Hua was afraid that more and more people would arrive, so he quickly pulled Shi Jin away from this area and moved to the next position.

After seeing Fan Hua and Shi Jin escape, the enemy army chased them relentlessly, little knowing that danger was approaching them.

At the corner, a group of secret guards were lurking there, waiting for the fish to fall into the net. Fan Hua had arranged this group of secret guards a few minutes ago.

After Fan Hua pulled Shi Jin into an alley and hid, the enemy troops behind them lost sight of them and searched everywhere nearby. The Fengyun Pavilion secret guards hiding in the dark immediately showed up upon seeing this and engaged in a fight with the imperial guards.

After a while, they killed the group of imperial guards, then left and waited at the next ambush point.
