Chapter 825: City Lord, Enter the Palace
"It has nothing to do with you." Ye Gucheng said coldly. He was cold by nature and did not like to talk to people. No matter how popular Lu Xiaofeng is, no matter how charming he is as the first protagonist of Gu Long's pen, Ye Gucheng is only seeing it for the first time, and he is not interested in him.
Hearing Ye Gucheng's cold words, although he couldn't see Lu Xiaofeng's expression, Hua Manlou could also imagine Lu Xiaofeng's face at this moment. Lu Xiaofeng, who is very popular among the same sex, and even people like Ximen Chuixue can become friends, must be very aggrieved when he hears these four words. Thinking of this situation, Hua Manlou couldn't help but smile lightly.
is different from what Hua Manlou thinks, one of the keys to Lu Xiaofeng's good popularity is to be thick-skinned. It is impossible for Ximen Fuxue to become friends with Lu Xiaofeng the first time they meet, this is forced out little by little. Although hearing Ye Gucheng's short and clear words, Lu Xiaofeng felt like he was instantly struck, but he still quickly lifted his spirits. This exhilarating speed is that outsiders didn't see him being hit again, and even Ye Gucheng, who had excellent eyesight, didn't see it, in the eyes of everyone, Lu Xiaofeng heard these four words, still smiling, and didn't care at all.
"Where City Lord Ye is really has nothing to do with Lu Xiaofeng...... Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and his tone instantly changed: "It's just that it is an eventful time in the capital now, and a shocking change a few days ago made Lu Xiaofeng a little sensitive now." ”
The Dragon Slayer Conference has just ended, and although the main leaders have been arrested, what about the other subordinates? It is still inevitable to be arrested and interrogated. Therefore, the nearest capital can be said to be rumored and the grass and trees are all soldiers. When almost everyone wanted to escape from the capital, what was Ye Gucheng entering Beijing for at this moment? Lu Xiaofeng is a very sensitive person, if he is not so sensitive, he can pay attention to things that no one else has thought of. It is impossible for him to help so many people investigate the case, not to mention that the emperor still hints at him......
Now that Ye Gucheng has really entered Beijing, Lu Xiaofeng is naturally a little worried. Although it is said that many people with great power have been locked up in prison, and the overall situation has been decided, but a person like Ye Gucheng is definitely a person who can affect the overall situation, not to mention Ye Gucheng's martial arts, just saying that Baiyun City has obtained a huge wealth because of the sea route, he can do a lot of things.
"Dragon Slayer?" Hearing Lu Xiaofeng talk about a "shocking change" a few days ago, the corners of Ye Gucheng's mouth hooked slightly. As if sneering. But also, just four words, but you can easily hear the mockery contained in it.
"This major event that shook the world, I don't think I need to explain it to the city lord in detail. I believe that with the strength of Baiyun City, even if City Lord Ye is not in the capital. It should also be better than me, who has been in the capital for a month. Lu Xiaofeng said this from the heart, if he had a lot of friends in the past. Naturally well-informed. But now those people are fleeing and arrested, and they can't even take care of their own lives, where can they take care of Lu Xiaofeng's friend? There are indeed many people in the martial arts who stick knives in the ribs of their friends, but there are more people who stick two knives in their friends at critical times. Lu Xiaofeng now has to rely on himself for all the news, and he is definitely not as good as Ye Gucheng, who has a normal source of intelligence.
"A farce." Ye Gucheng said, his expression was still dismissive and indifferent. How could something so vigorous succeed? Even if the overall strength of the participants of the Dragon Slaying Conference is not weak. But the form itself foreshadows the outcome of the event.
"City Lord Ye's evaluation is the same as a person." Hua Manlou suddenly spoke, and he sighed later: "Actually, many people know that this is a farce, but more people underestimate that person's determination, which is why this matter ended in such a tragic situation." ”
The results of the Dragon Slaying Conference were not without tragedy. The martial arts sects and rivers and lakes involved in it, each of them can be said to have collapsed, and even many of them have broken their foundations, and there is not even a person with a complete inheritance among the sects. Even if the other sects did not die, they were also greatly damaged. As for those sects that did not participate at all, they are now trying their best to suppress the disciples under them, and recently, on the rivers and lakes, the news of the closure of the various sects has come one after another.
"The law does not blame the public, and the court has always been tolerant, so it is not surprising that some spoiled Jianghu people have this idea." Lu Xiaofeng said, with a wry smile on his face.
Ye Gucheng's expression was indifferent, and he didn't say anything, what was he thinking in his heart at the moment, or only he knew it.......
Suddenly, a voice interjected into the topic: "The court is lenient and intolerant, don't you see it now?" ”
Lu Xiaofeng looked up at the sound and saw a man dressed in black with a long sword on his back sitting at a table on the side of the street. The man was wearing a hat, and under the black veil, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't see his face clearly, and he only felt that the man's eyes were as cold and sharp as a snake.
"This brother, I don't know which sect it is?" Lu Xiaofeng asked. His eyesight is not bad, and he can naturally see that this person is definitely a person in the martial arts, and listening to his breathing, he obviously has deep internal strength.
"The people of the mountains and wilderness, without a name and no surname, are not as good as your name Lu Xiaofeng, and they are far from this Baiyun City Lord." The man's voice was a little cold, and it seemed that it was very reluctant to talk to Lu Xiaofeng.
And Lu Xiaofeng was even more sensitive to hear a hint of ridicule from this person's tone, even if he mentioned Ye Gucheng, he implied disdain. Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Ye Gucheng beside him out of the corner of his eye, and saw that Ye Gucheng's face was a little colder.
Unlike Lu Xiaofeng, Ye Gucheng values swords. He is a person who practices swords, and his martial arts cultivation is a few points higher than Lu Xiaofeng, and when he saw the man with a hat, he only felt that although the man's sword was wrapped in black cloth and carried on his body, the sword exuded a sword aura that was almost about to be unsheathed. And that man's person is fused with the sword, and the sword aura on his body is hidden, and he is a master who is not inferior to himself.
"This senior seems to be very dissatisfied with the imperial court?" Hua Manlou said, people without eyes can get as much information as they can from the voice, Hua Manlou can't see it, but he can feel the hatred contained in this man's voice very clearly.
"You are also in the martial arts, not only did you not participate in the dragon slaying conference, but some people betrayed the martial arts, and now the martial arts have suffered such a catastrophe, you people are guilty of all their sins." At the end of the day, the man in the hat stood up. His icy gaze swept over everyone in front of him. Then he didn't say anything, just turned around and left.
"Does this person have any deep hatred with the imperial court?" Lu Xiaofeng touched his head and asked Hua Manlou. If it weren't for some deep hatred, how could he look at his group of people with that kind of hatred, and what he said just now was really ...... It's a bit too far-fetched, inexplicable.
"Or maybe it's not just a deep hatred......" Lu Xiaofeng didn't hear Hua Manlou's answer, but heard Ye Gucheng's voice. Lu Xiaofeng turned his head and found that Ye Gucheng's figure swept forward, passing through the crowd in front of him, and seemed to be heading in the direction of the man with the hat.
"Something seems to be going on up ahead." At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng heard Hua Manlou frowning and said this. The two of them carried light work together and leaned forward. In the middle of the road, Lu Xiaofeng saw Ye Gucheng's cold white figure, and at this moment, Ye Gucheng was standing on the side of the road, looking at the fight in the middle of the road with an uncertain expression.
In the middle of the road, the man in the hat who had begun to leave was now fighting with a group of people. The overflowing sword aura caused pedestrians to stay away, and countless stalls were knocked over during the fight. The once neat streets became disorganized. It also adds a hint of blood. Because there were already casualties in the pile of people and horses opposite the man in the fight, and the blood was sprinkled on the ground, which was extremely eye-catching.
"I didn't expect this person to be really a criminal of the imperial court!" Lu Xiaofeng saw that there was someone on the opposite side of the hat man who was wearing the flying fish suit of the imperial court brocade guard, and guessed that this hat man who had just been very disdainful of the court in front of the court should be a diehard member of this martial arts dragon slaying conference.
When the man with a hat was about to lose to those people in the court, Ye Gucheng suddenly came to help, and a man with a hat might not be able to defeat those people in the court. But with the addition of Ye Gucheng, those people in the court will be invincible. Their individual strength is not high, but if they cooperate well, they will make that master feel extremely difficult to deal with any master on the rivers and lakes when they join forces.
However, the power of this kind of cooperation is strong. If the cooperation is interrupted, it will be ineffective, and the appearance of Ye Gucheng disrupted the rhythm of these people and successfully rescued the man with the hat. After that, the man with the hat thanked Ye Gucheng, but he was ready to attack the palace at night again.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't know what was the reason for Ye Gucheng to look absolutely calm, and the person who was also scornful of things like the Dragon Slaying Conference at the beginning actually agreed to the ridiculous request of the man with the hat. Because he and Hua Manlou also heard this very secret thing, they were "forced" to follow these two people to visit the palace at night.
Of course, as a person on the emperor's side, Lu Xiaofeng actually planned to do what he planned. As far as he knows, there are many masters in the palace now, not to mention the fact that the inner family, who has been at the top of the Qimen weapon spectrum for decades, has enshrined the "Heavenly Machine" Sun Buer and the newly promoted "Little Li Flying Knife" Li Xunhuan, the emperor whose martial arts are estimated to be no worse than Ximen Blowing Snow, the fate of Ye Gucheng and the man with the hat can be predicted.
Although the emperor confessed that he didn't want to see Ye Gucheng wielding a sword in the palace, Lu Xiaofeng has never been a rule-abiding person, even if he has a deep fear of the emperor, he still respects his nature and wants to watch a "good show"......
In the middle of the night, the man in the hat was dressed in black and the man in white beside him was in stark contrast. For Ye Gucheng's eye-catching white clothes, the man with the hat seemed to be very accustomed to it, and he had no opinion on this kind of thing that could easily reveal his position. Thinking of a friend who was always white, Lu Xiaofeng sighed, these swordsmen are too individual.
Although Ye Gucheng is white-clothed, his light strength cannot be ignored, even white-clothed has successfully avoided the eyes and ears of those guards in the palace and successfully reached the center of the palace. The man who led the way was the man with a hat, he seemed to have been to the palace more than once, and he took a secluded shortcut, Lu Xiaofeng saw his proficiency, and couldn't help but silently guess in his heart, how many times did this martial arts person wanted by the imperial court assassinate the emperor?
The emperor's imperial study is the place where he stays most often, and it is widely rumored in the court and the opposition, and the current emperor has inherited the diligence of the previous king, and has been working day and night for the government. Lu Xiaofeng saw the brightly lit imperial study from a distance. Even if the imperial court is more frugal now, the palace that is related to the face of the past cannot be frugal, let alone the imperial study where the emperor has lived for a long time.
What is very surprising is that there are not many people around the imperial study, but Lu Xiaofeng thinks about it carefully, but it is not reasonable, the Son of Heaven is already very strong, and those guards are dispensable. Through the unclosed window, Lu Xiaofeng clearly saw Liu Yu who was reviewing the recital.
At the same time, the noise here obviously also attracted Liu Yu's attention. He turned his head to look out the window, calmly looking at the four figures that floated in from the window one after another.
"Little old man?" Liu Yu's eyebrows raised upward, and his eyes were looking at the sword-wielding man in black at the moment.
The man unveiled the hat and said coldly: "I didn't expect to hear the name of Xiao Lao'er today, which really makes Xiao Lao'er fortunate for three lives." ”
"People who can escape twice under the second hand of the old man Sun Bu of Tianji do have the need to remember." Liu Yu said lightly, his calm gaze moved to the white-clothed man beside the little old man, "If Ye Cheng wants to come to the palace, I will definitely welcome it, and I don't have to go through the side door." ”
"Your Majesty knows Ye?" Ye Gucheng looked at the man in front of him. His eyes were dark, and in the end he was completely dim, but he felt like he had let go of something.
"How could I ignore the Baiyun City established by the Ye family, the remnant of the previous dynasty......" Liu Yu said, turned his head and glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, who had a somewhat evasive look in his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said indifferently: "Everyone knows the way. My palace is easy to get into, but not easy to get out. ”
When the little old man heard this, he said. Immediately, a sword pointed at Liu Yu. Ye Gucheng was silent, and Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou continued to wallflower.
Shaking his head, Liu Yu said: "In these years, Lu Xiaofeng can't be relied on...... Fortunately, there are still a few loyal people around Lian. As soon as he finished saying this, in the water columns on all sides, there was a sudden sound of "grid" at the same time. The secret door slid open, and four people flashed out.
These four people are less than two feet tall, and their figures, appearances, and decorations are exactly the same. Especially their faces. Small eyes, big nose, protruding head and deflated mouth seem indescribably funny. But the sword in their hand is not ridiculous at all. The one-foot-seven-inch long sword, the blue light flashed, the cold was pressing, two people used double swords, one person used a single sword, and the seven swords flashed in the air, like a sky full of stars and rain, so bright that people's eyes couldn't open.
"The fish brothers of Yunmen Mountain, Qixingtang, and Flying Fish Castle?" Although the little old man has lived in seclusion for twenty or thirty years, he is no stranger to the well-known masters in the rivers and lakes, and he recognized these four people at a glance.
The four brothers were born of one child, although they are not tall, their swordsmanship is extremely high, especially the four brothers, they have the same heart, and the four of them join forces to display their family heirloom Flying Fish Seven Star Sword, in the seven great sword formations under the whole world, although they cannot rank first, there are not many people who can break them for a while. Not only are their swordsmanship weird, but their temperament is even more avoidant, and they didn't expect to be recruited to Ouchi and become the emperor's personal guard.
The sword light flashed Liu Yu's face, and Liu Yu said, "Chop." ”
The seven swords flowed brightly, and the stars flickered, and immediately enveloped the little old man. But the little old man's face remained unchanged, and he didn't wave his sword to resist, and at the moment when the seven swords were approaching, a sword light flew obliquely, like a shocking lightning, like a long rainbow shocking the sky. The sky was full of sword light staggered, and suddenly there were four sounds of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding", sparks splashed, and the sword light in the sky suddenly disappeared.
The only thing left with light was a sword. A long sword with a strange form. Of course, this sword is not the sword of the Yu brothers, the swords of the Yu brothers have been broken, and the people of the Yu brothers are all injured, and they have no power to make a move. This sword is in the hands of a man in white, and this man in white is undoubtedly Ye Gucheng.
Although Ye Gucheng's shot was very dazzling, it was not looked at by Liu Yu. Liu Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Flying immortals outside the sky, one sword breaks the seven stars, it is really a good swordsmanship." ”
Ye Gucheng said: "It was originally a good swordsmanship. ”
Shaking his head, Liu Yu said: "Qingben is a beautiful woman, why should you be a thief?" ”
Ye Gucheng's eyes were cold, and he was speechless.
Glancing at the smiling little old man, Liu Yu said again: "If I didn't guess wrong, this little old man known as 'nameless' should also be surnamed Ye, right?" ”
Liu frowned slightly, Ye Gucheng leveled his sword and said coldly: "Please." ”
Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu said, "Please?" ”
Ye Gucheng said: "With His Majesty's insight and calmness, there are few people in the martial arts, and if His Majesty enters the rivers and lakes, he will definitely be ranked among the top ten masters." Now the king is no longer the king, the thief is no longer a thief, and between the king and the thief, the strong wins. ”
"A strong man wins." Liu Yu smiled and said: "It's a pity that I am not from the rivers and lakes, and I don't pay attention to that!" I practice the sword of the Son of Heaven, level the world, calm the people, strategize in the battle, win thousands of miles away, use my body as a sword, and splash blood in five steps, which is not taken by the Son of Heaven. He stared at Ye Gucheng and slowly continued, "You must not understand what I mean. ”
Ye Gucheng's pale face turned pale, he clenched the hilt of his sword, and said, "You want to be restrained?" ”
Liu Yu said: "I am ordered by heaven, you can't kill me!" ”
On Ye Gucheng's hand holding the sword, the green tendons were exposed, and sweat was already secreting from the tip of his nose. The little old man couldn't help but say loudly: "The matter has come to this, what are you hesitating about, kill him, and avenge this ruined country and family!" ”
Ye Gucheng's face turned white, and he finally stomped his feet and said, "You are a good emperor, but the hatred of the country is as deep as the sea, and I have to kill you." The sword in his hand was swung up. The moon is full in the sky, the moon is fuller, there is an inexplicable fragrance floating in the night wind, and the elegant fragrance is full of solemnity. The wind blows in through the window, the moonlight shines in through the window, and the wind is as cold as the moon. The sword is colder. When the cold sword is stabbed, the blood will surely splash out.
However, at this moment, a light suddenly flew in from outside the window and hit Ye Gucheng's sword. Ye Gucheng's sword is one of the most powerful swords in the world, what kind of secret weapon can stop the opponent's sword momentum after Ye Gucheng swings the sword? Is it the Tangmen of Shuzhong that moves the world in the name of a secret weapon? Or the mysterious Peacock Feather?
No, it's neither, there is only one person in the palace who can do this now, and that is Li Xunhuan! Only Xiao Li's flying knife, known as "no false hair", could intercept the Flying Immortals outside the sky in Xia Ye Gucheng...... (To be continued......)
