【Ancient Journey】 Act 43 [Old Friends of the Imperial Capital] (II)

In a moment's time, Jing Xuan, the commander of the Guangfeng Praetorian Guard, had already thrown three punches in a row, all of which were forcibly taken by Yun Fan with his elbow! To Yun Fan's surprise, the next moment Jing Xuan supported the table with his hand, and kicked him in the neck when he flew up in the air.

The erupting green tendons, the swollen muscles, the eyes full of murderous intent, the blood-colored streamer and the black sword qi passed through Yun Fan's hand that held the handle of the Heavenly Vertical Fang, and roamed all over Yun Fan's body.

Jing Xuan was puzzled: "True Qi Protector?"

Yun Fan grinned and did not answer.

The ground beneath their feet trembled as they clashed.

After a moment of condensation, the air spread a wave of air around the two of them, and the dust was agitated here, and many people felt some turmoil in Jingfu at the same time, thinking that it was an earthquake.

Seeing this, the person who was originally watching outside hurriedly left to avoid being discovered by others, but to his surprise, more and more people came over to see the excitement, so the person who was going to leave turned back halfway.

In the room, Jing Xuan looked at Yun Fan incredulously. At this moment, Yun Fan forcibly took his kick. No one had ever been able to catch his move, but Yun Fan did it.

I saw Yun Fan holding the handle of the knife with one hand, and making a knife with the other hand to fight back towards Jing Xuan! Jing Xuan shot quickly, obviously he was also a skill in the early stage of the tenth order, but Jing Xuan could always beat Yun Fan half a beat faster, causing Yun Fan to be on the defensive all the time just now.

However, these all began to reverse with Yun Fan taking Jing Xuan's kick just now! The blood-black air flow lingered in the form of a flowing shadow visible to the naked eye on Yun Fan's hand holding the handle of the knife, Jing Xuan frowned, when he just fought, he was sure that Yun Fan was in the early stage of the tenth order like him, but now he felt that Yun Fan's real strength did not stop at the tenth order.

Jing Xuan thought to himself, if he could condense so much true qi visible to the naked eye, unless he controlled the Bright Moon Liu Clan's Void Secret Technique, he would be stepping into the legendary Mind Martial Realm, but this short battle between him and Yun Fan could actually make a tenth-order martial artist jump in an instant? Impossible, is it ...... It's the longitudinal teeth!

It's the Heavenly Tooth that is lending power to him!

Without waiting for Jing Xuan to think about it, the blood-black air flow wrapped Yun Fan's hand and slashed straight towards Jing Xuan, Jing Xuan was startled and hurriedly dodged, only to hear a slight crack, and a slight crack appeared in the place where Jing Xuan stood just now.

Seeing that the battle had escalated from the original hand-to-hand combat to the current one, Jing Xuan did not back down. After dodging Yun Fan's blow just now, he came to the wall where a pair of paintings and calligraphy were hung, and took out a sword from the painting on the wall in front of Yun Fan.

The sword is three feet nine long, one and a half feet wide, weighs three catties and three taels, the sword spine is golden, the blade is translucent, and the exterior is decorated with gold cinnamon, which means that the world is beautiful. In the dark red gem on the hilt of the sword, the streamer moved, as if something was trapped in the sword.

Yun Fan frowned slightly: "Now this is to try the sword?"

Jing Xuan clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands and said lightly, "Do you recognize this sword?"

Yun Fan was puzzled: "Are you trying to distract me and then attack me?"

Jing Xuan smiled: "This sword is not mine. ”

Yun Fan: "Now that the sword is in your hand, is it not yours or mine?"

Jing Xuan: "You don't know this sword?"

Yun Fan: "Why do I want to know?"

Jing Xuan: "This sword is the eldest brother of the old country lord Yun Chen, the former commander of the imperial capital palace Yun Jin in the past! If I remember correctly, this sword should symbolize the status of the Yun family, right?"

Yun Fan: "Flying Flower Sword?"

Jing Xuan: "Exactly. ”

Yun Fan: "Why is this sword in your hand?"

Jing Xuan: "Before the Chiyan Rebellion, the Guangfeng Guards were originally the guards of the Son of Heaven, but after the Chiyan Rebellion, because of their meritorious escorts, they replaced the Chiyan warriors and became the new royal forbidden army. ”

Yun Fan: "I know this. ”

Jing Xuan: "After you didn't say goodbye back then, the "Eroding Heart" was passed on to Lian Mu by the Mingguang Armor as a symbol of leadership, and now I am the great commander of the Imperial Capital Guangfeng Guard, is it strange to hold this sword?"

Yun Fan: "Lian Mu, is he still alive?"

Jing Xuan: "He is now the commander of the forbidden army of the King City, you can't know it, right?"

Yun Fan: "I didn't stay for a few days when I went back this time, and many people still don't know a lot of things, but it's you, how can people know everything in the imperial capital?"

Jing Xuan: "Because, if you want to live here, you have to know many things, so in the process of knowing these things, some things that you shouldn't know have become unexpected surprises, and you know them by the way." ”

Between the words, Yun Fan fell into deep thought, he slowly pulled out the Tianzong teeth in the scabbard, and then asked lightly: "Don't say much, the victory is determined under the sword!"

Jing Xuan: "First of all, don't use the true qi in your body!"

Yun Fan: "The sword has no eyes." ”

Jing Xuan: "It's over!"

The blood on the blade faded, and the true qi wrapped around Yun Fan's arm dissipated in an instant, and when the evening breeze passed by, the Heavenly Longitudinal Tooth turned into a black light and shadow, slashing towards Jing Xuan's eyebrows!

Yun Fan turned the handle of the knife and cut off Jing Xuan's way with a single blow, the table was split into two here, Yun Fan's hat was immediately cracked, and the candle shadow floated, and the two stood with their backs to each other, silent.

This is the reunion of the Flying Flower Sword and the Heavenly Vertical Tooth after many years! Yun Fan could feel the roar in the knife, just like Jing Xuan heard very clearly that the Flying Flower Sword was making a long groan at this time.

Many years ago, after Yun Jin heard that his sister was really married to the barbarian king, he went to Beilu alone with the flying flower sword, and had a world-famous decisive battle with the barbarian king of the Sabu in the martial arts arena of Tianguang City, the royal capital of Beilu, and finally the young man from the Ji Dynasty left Beilu alive and won the respect of the barbarians.

The golden cold light and the black shadow were like two dragons entangled together, and the entire hall reverberated with crisp sword collisions, like rain falling on a thousand strings, attracting many onlookers from the house.

Jing Xuan, who was holding the Flying Flower Sword, seemed to be a different person, after a hundred times of coming and going, he who was originally suppressed by the Heavenly Longitudinal Tooth in the dead corner gradually regained the upper peak.

The duel between two tenth-order martial artists, the victory or defeat lies in the fact that the opponent inadvertently makes any small mistake! Yun Fan turned the handle of the knife and rotated it horizontally, Jing Xuan parried with the situation, and used his strength to resist the sword with force, bounced Yun Fan away, Yun Fan stagnated after retreating a few steps, and silently accumulated.

The people watching outside the window were dumbfounded after witnessing the fight between the two, they had never seen Jing Xuan draw his sword, let alone what kind of scene the battle between two tenth-order martial artists was, after all, there were only twenty people in the entire Dongji who had stepped into the tenth-order, and there were only a few who reached the peak of the tenth-order!

When the blade of the Flying Flower Sword was in a straight line with Yun Fan, Jing Xuan's whole person was like an arrow off the string, piercing his eyebrows! Yun Fan frowned, as if he had seen this familiar path somewhere.

The shadow of the sword floats, and the cold light is fleeting,

The sword is like thunder, and ordinary people are difficult to parry!

This sword is the seventh type of "stunning" in the twenty-four swordsmanship of the Flying Flower Sword, which pursues a one-hit kill! No one has ever been able to catch Jing Xuan's sword, Yun Fan knows, but he didn't dodge!

This time, there is no blood-black air shadow that will haunt Yun Fan, he plans to rely on his own strength to take over this sword! In the imperial capital of October, the night is slightly cool, when the evening breeze suddenly rises, the candle shadow is swaying, and the window of Jingfu's Tingyuxuan is full of people watching the excitement, and everyone is waiting for the moment when the victory or defeat is known!

The translucent blade was bounced away by the black blade, Jing Xuan's eyes widened, and Yun Fan grinned and turned the handle slightly.

The next moment, the winner will be decided!

Everyone watched the summer, and the edge of the Flying Flower Sword pierced the air after slashing off a few strands of Yun Fan's shoulder hair, and the inky black heavenly longitudinal teeth reached Jing Xuan's throat here.

Jing Xuan closed his eyes: "I lost." ”

Yun Fan put away his Heavenly Vertical Teeth, and then turned to leave.

Jing Xuan looked at Yun Fan's back suspiciously: "Where are you going, aren't you going to borrow soldiers?"

Yun Fan stopped, and in the afterglow were the people from Jingfu who were watching at the window, so that the people saw that they had been discovered, and then they scattered as birds and beasts. In Jing Xuan's gaze, his dark complexion and melancholy figure were like a straight spear in the candlelight of the night.

Yun Fan turned his head sideways and said lightly: "The Jing Xuan I know has always been true to his word, I believe in Jing Xuan, you know what I mean." ”

Jing Xuan smiled: "I don't understand." ”

Yun Fan: "After the first melee victory between the Shu Kingdom and the Mo Kingdom, how many people in the Mingguang Armor followed you. ”

Jing Xuan: "The one who came with me was the Five Thousand Cold Armor Army. ”

Yun Fan: "How many of these five thousand cold armor troops are the old department of Mingguang Armor?"

Jing Xuan: "Two thousand." ”

Yun Fan: "These two thousand people will return to me." ”

Jing Xuan: "What if they don't want to?" ”

Yun Fan: "These two thousand people lend me." ”

Jing Xuan: "Two thousand people can't change the tide of the battle. ”

Yun Fan: "I just want to take them home." ”

Jing Xuan didn't speak, and after a long time, he put the Flying Flower Sword into the scabbard: "Then this sword, do you still want it?"

Yun Fan: "I'm not of the Yun family's bloodline. ”

Jing Xuan: "Your mother was born in the Yun clan. ”

Yun Fan: "But I'm not a descendant of the Yun family. ”

Jing Xuan: "You really don't want this sword?"

Yun Fan: "If you think it's in the way, throw it away, of course it's okay to keep it, and then return it when the Yun bloodline is looking for you, in short, don't give it to me." ”

Jing Xuan smiled: "You are really interesting. ”

Yun Fan: "I will stay in the imperial capital for three days. ”

Jing Xuan: "I can hand over the two thousand bright light armor you want later, you don't have to wait until three days later." ”

Yun Fan: "You just want me to leave quickly?"

Jing Xuan: "It's not that I want you to go, but now there is not much time left for you." ”

Yun Fan: "I'm talking like I'm dying." ”

Jing Xuan: "The current pattern of the world is changing rapidly, you were not as closed as you are now, how do you feel that you are not only blind but also deaf when you come back this time?"

Yun Fan: "This time, that time." The seeds I sowed in this world back then have lost contact with me after I went to the North Continent, and now I have only been back for a long time, and the time is pressing, so I have contacted the informant of Tianqiong City, and all the other lives and deaths are unknown. ”

Jing Xuan: "Everything has a cause and effect. ”

Yun Fan: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first, you slowly gather the light armor, and I will come back to you in three days." ”

Jing Xuan: "I'll tell you bad news, right now, the army of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom is digging through the Juelong Mountain Range. ”

Yun Fan: "What?"

Jing Xuan: "It is expected that it will appear on the land of Dongji in less than half a month. ”

Yun Fan: "Half a month, what did they dig it up with?"

Jing Xuan: "The lava slasher provided by the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, as well as the lava claws specially forged for the seventy thousand war bears they are traveling with. The stone of Juelong Mountain is the hardest mountain stone in the whole world, comparable to a sword. ”

Yun Fan: "But the casting technique of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom can create the biggest nemesis of this kind of hardest thing?"

Jing Xuan: "The Black Heaven Sect is helping them. ”

Yun Fan: "Just because I brought back the Chiyan Warrior?"

Jing Xuan: "The only one who can awaken the Chiyan warriors is the legendary reincarnation of the eldest son of the Heavenly Emperor, if you are not, then it can only mean that these Chiyan warriors are fake." ”

Yun Fan: "But no matter what, now I and the Su Kingdom have been targeted by the Black Sky Sect, right?"

Jing Xuan avoided answering, but turned to say: "From the imperial capital back to Mingyue City, the fastest day and night journey is seven days and seven nights, and there will be a heavy snow in Jibei in four days, if there is a heavy snow blocking the mountain, I'm afraid you will have to wait for several months, and by then Jibei may have been included in the territory of Xiji, so what do you think?"

Yun Fan didn't speak, in his eyes, there was Jing Xuan's serious expression, Jing Xuan didn't avoid Yun Fan's gaze in the slightest, because every word he said was a cruel fact that he had forgotten.

When he left Mingyue City, Yun Fan was alone, taking a shortcut, so it only took more than twenty days to cross the sea to reach Tianqiong City, but if he set off from the imperial capital and returned to Mingyue City, he was afraid that he would have to bypass many shortcuts along the way.

In addition, now that the three cities of Jibei are in the hands of the Mo Kingdom, if Jing Xuan lends him troops, the target is huge, and he has to avoid the eyes of the Mo Kingdom and return to the Ming Moon of the Shu Kingdom, and the actual time will definitely be more than seven days and seven nights. It is estimated that when the army of Xiji Qianlei Kingdom comes, he will almost arrive, and the premise is that there will be no accidents on the road.

The night is getting deeper, the moon shadow is pretentious, and the fragrance of flowers in the wind evokes the silhouettes of the past that the two of them have experienced in their memories, Yun Fan doesn't know what Jing Xuan is thinking at this time, but Jing Xuan has already calculated every step Yun Fan will take next.

At this time, a familiar face of Yun Fan hurriedly knocked away the domestic servant who was blocking him, pushed open the door of Tingyu Pavilion, and fell at Yun Fan's feet: "It's not good, it's not good! Something big has happened! Wang Gongzi has been detained!"

Outside the door, there were more and more onlookers, and Jing Xuan looked at the person at Yun Fan's feet suspiciously: "Who is coming, report your name." ”

Without waiting for the comer to report his name, Yun Fan fixed his eyes and looked: "Situ loves ?!?"

Situ Zhongqing: "It's me, it's me!"

Yun Fan hurriedly helped him up: "What happened?"

So, Situ Zhong recalled to him an hour ago, what happened in the Imperial Capital Yanyu Building.

Everyone turned their eyes to this mysterious boy who was a thousand gold as soon as he opened his mouth, and people speculated about the identity of this son, but except for Ye Qi, no one guessed correctly.

Ye Qi is the concubine of the head of the Ye family in the imperial capital.

The imperial capital Ye clan and the Shu Guo Liu clan are rivals, and there is a relationship between the Ye clan and the Liu clan, which will be explained in detail later in the second volume. As the largest family in the imperial capital, the Ye family settled in strongly after Liang Yi welcomed the capital of the Son of Heaven Jingguang, and provided him with a lot of help during Liang Yi's operation of the imperial capital, from financial resources, material resources to manpower, and because of this, the Ye family became the only family that could ascend to the court and rank with the civil and military officials during Liang Yi's reign in the imperial capital.

Previously, Liang Yi, who was born in cloth, promoted many children from poor families in order to break the pattern of aristocratic monopoly politics, and because of this, Liang Yi at this time was very famous in the hearts of the people.

However, this strong man, who had tried his best to suppress aristocratic politics, only broke this case for the Ye family, and this was not the end, just a sad beginning.

Because he is a concubine, Ye Qi cannot wear clothes with a golden leaf family crest to go in and out of various occasions, but no one does not know the third son of the Ye family.

Although Ye Qi is a concubine, he is also the blood of the Ye family after all, and the Ye family's assets in the imperial capital and even Dongji are second only to the Bai clan of the Yan Kingdom, and it is precisely because of this that our third son of the Ye family has the confidence to go to Tianqiong City to look for flowers and ask willows.

It's a pity that Ye Qi stayed in Fengyue Tower in Tianqiong City for half a month, and he wanted to taste which of the Oiran here or the imperial capital was more stunning, but on the first day, the original Oiran of Fengyue Tower fought wine with Wang Miaozhou, and as a result, the liquor burned his intestines and was still lying in the medical hall. The new Oiran was directly bought out by Wang Miaozhou, and he was not able to shoot it until the day he left.

It can only be said that he was unlucky.

But tonight, Ye Qi is going to be transferred.

Between the words, Situ Zhongqing shook in front of Wang Miaozhou, and signaled to him that it had been done, so Wang Miaozhou directly climbed onto the flower platform and asked everyone in the audience: "Is there anyone else bidding?"

Everyone whispered under the flower stage, Ye Qi's face was very ugly, Wang Miaozhou sneered and directly snatched the gong in the hand of the little man on the side and prepared to beat it, which scared the old bustard.

The bidding that could have ended with a silver ticket directly rose to the competition for a golden ticket because of Wang Miaozhou's appearance. Wang Miaozhou said loudly: "A thousand gold once! Is there any more? Is there any? If not, I will knock it a second time!"

Everyone whispered, and no one dared to follow the price.

Wang Miaozhou: "One thousand gold twice!"

Ye Qi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Wang Miaozhou: "One..."

Ye Qi: "Three thousand gold!"

As soon as Ye's son's words came out, the audience boiled!

Without waiting for Wang Miaozhou to shout out a thousand gold three times, Ye Qi cut off his beard again. Wang Miaozhou frowned, thinking that it was interesting, and directly threw the gong back to the little maid, then squatted down on the flower platform and looked down at Ye Qi from a high place: "Five thousand gold." ”

Ye Qi did not avoid Wang Miaozhou's gaze, he knew who was in front of him, and he also knew very well what he was doing at the moment: "Eight thousand gold." ”

The audience was boiling again, and everyone consciously gave up a large piece of space to Wang Miaozhou and Ye Qi, and it seemed that they were signaling to withdraw from this Oiran dispute that belonged to the two of them.

Wang Miaozhou looked at the young man in front of him coldly, his eyes full of disdain: "Ten thousand gold." ”

On the stage, the old bustard's eyes were already smiling.

Offstage, Situ Zhongqing frowned, thinking to himself if this Wang Miaozhou is on the top again?!

Ye Qi didn't speak, but everyone's eyes were on him, Wang Miaozhou sneered and slowly stood up, and the little guy behind him rang the first gong of 10,000 gold.

"10,000 gold for the first time!"

Ye Qi didn't speak, his mind flashed wildly about the recent deeds of Tianqiong City and Wang Miaozhou, and suddenly he remembered that something was wrong.

"Ten thousand gold for the second time!"

Wang Miaozhou sneered: "That's the end of it?"

Ye Qi didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.

It was at this time that Wang Miaozhou remembered where he had seen this son, and who this son was.

At this moment, Ye Qi's mind continued to float over the rumor he had heard recently. Ye Qi left Tianqiong City a day or two later than Wang Miaozhou. So before this news reached the imperial capital, Ye Qi already knew.

It is said that after Wang Miaozhou left Tianqiong City, Jiang Pheasant, the owner of the "Xie" character trading house, that is, the vice president of Tianqiong City, directly confiscated all Wang Miaozhou's assets in Tianqiong City on charges of disrupting market order, raising prices, and destroying the business field of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Ten thousand gold for the third time!"

Spending 10,000 gold in the imperial capital to taste the taste of Oiran is not really rich, but there must be something wrong with the brain. Although Ye Qi was unwilling, he could only give up the red card on the wooden shelf.

Different from the time in Tianqiong City, Ye Qi at that time was investing in business in Tianqiong City for the Ye family, so the head of the Ye family, Ye Qi's father, gave Ye Qi a huge amount of money and made a lot of money.

After returning to the imperial capital, Ye Qi handed over all the money, so he had the embarrassment that he couldn't even shoot 10,000 gold when he met Wang Miaozhou again.

On the flower platform, the old bustard took off the red card and presented it to Wang Miaozhou with both hands: "Wang Gongzi, do you plan to pay the bill with a golden ticket or cash?"

Under the flower stage, everyone whispered here.

Wang Miaozhou took out the golden ticket that Yun Fan gave him, and shook it in front of the bustard, but he didn't give it, the bustard saw the words 100,000 on it and his legs were weak directly, Wang Miaozhou took the golden ticket and turned around and stood on the flower platform to everyone in the audience: "This is a golden ticket of 100,000 gold, not only this red card, I want all the brands on the wooden shelf tonight!"

Everyone in the audience listened, and it was boiling again!

"Wait!"

At this time, someone suddenly stood up and asked Wang Miaozhou on the stage: "This son, what did you just say your name?"

Wang Miaozhou: "Wang Miaozhou!"

The man asked, "Which Wang Miaozhou?!"

Wang Miaozhou: "Haven't you heard of Wang Miaozhou in Tianqiong City?"

At this time, everyone in the audience looked at Wang Miaozhou, who was extremely arrogant standing on the stage at the moment, and instantly understood why this person was so arrogant, there was no one who came out of Tianqiong City who did not spend money, not to mention that standing on the stage at the moment was the prince of Tianqiong City.

Everyone was surprised, and the person who asked the question continued to ask: "The golden ticket in Wang Gongzi's hand is the golden ticket of Tianqiong City?"

Wang Miaozhou glanced at the golden ticket in his hand: "Exactly, what's wrong, something?"

The man asked again: "This 100,000 gold is the assets of Wang Gongzi in Tianqiong City?"

Wang Miaozhou: "What do you mean?"

The man reminded: "Does Wang Gongzi know that after you left Tianqiong City recently, Jiang Pheasant, the owner of the "Xie" character trading house, has frozen all your assets in Tianqiong City with his power as the vice president of Tianqiong City?!"

When Ye Qi heard this, he suddenly sneered.

It turned out that the rumors he had heard were all true.

Wang Miaozhou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

He knew what it meant, everyone knew what it meant, and everyone was talking about it when they saw this, that's right! Following the price hike incident in Tianqiong City, Wang Gongzi went to the imperial capital and raised the price again, without him knowing what happened.

Seeing this, Situ Zhongqing looked at the golden ticket in his arms, but his face sank, and it was also the king of Tianqiong City. But fortunately, he had stolen a lot of things from other people just now, so he coughed and signaled Wang Miaozhou not to panic.

In fact, the money that Situ Zhong stole must not add up to a thousand gold, because the Imperial Capital Yanyu Building is not the Fengyue Building of Tianqiong City, and the price here is not based on gold, but copper.

One gold is equal to one hundred silver, and one silver is equal to one hundred bronze.

Usually there is an 8,000 silver here to spend a good night with the Oiran, but Wang Miaozhou will be mistaken, thinking that Situ Zhongqing is hinting that he will not be able to withdraw, at this moment the old bustard found that Wang Miaozhou's face was wrong, and the thugs around him gradually surrounded him.

Seeing this, Wang Miaozhou shouted: "Hurry up and go to the outer ring of the palace, Jingfu at No. 2 Zhenlong Street! Yun Fan is there! Don't look for him, look for Jingxuan! Quick!"

As soon as the words fell, several thugs subdued Wang Miaozhou, and Ye Qi took the opportunity to sneer and stepped on Wang Miaozhou's hand: "I didn't expect it, you also have today?"

Seeing this, Situ hurriedly stayed away from the crowd.

As everyone knows, in the dark, the eyes that had been staring at them for a long time like eagles and falcons slowly came to the front of the stage after Situ Zhongai left. The old bustard and everyone, even Ye Qi, lowered their heads after seeing this person, not daring to look at him.

Wang Miaozhou wanted to see it, even if there were several fierce men pressing on his body at this time, but after he saw that person, he was instantly stunned: "It's you?!?! why are you here?!"

The eagle-like eyes showed a kind smile after looking at Wang Miaozhou: "It's been a long time, Wang Gongzi, don't come to harm?"
