Chapter 156: On the eve of the decisive battle

No doubt.

This young man is the prince of Nanwangfu, the person who has the same appearance as the emperor!

Noticing Ye Gucheng's movements, the young man also subconsciously slowed down, and then stopped in front of Ye Gucheng, quietly watching the other party wipe the long sword.

Ye Gucheng wiped it slowly and carefully, as if he was performing some kind of important ritual.

At this point.

It seems that all kendo masters have something in common.

That is, the sword-loving is like life.

This body has nothing else to grow except for the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand.

Finally.

The Feihong Sword was finally wiped off, and Ye Gucheng's eyes were seriously inspected on the Feihong Sword, and he couldn't help but show a satisfied smile, and turned his head to look at the young man on the side.

"Do you understand?"

The young man shook his head and said very directly

"The disciple doesn't understand."

He knew that his master had always been straightforward, just like his sword.

Therefore, the same is true of teaching disciples.

Understood, understood.

If you don't understand, you just don't understand!

"Although you have come under my door, my swordsmanship is not suitable for you."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Ye Gucheng also said with a little regret.

This is his only disciple, but he cannot inherit his mantle.

"It's the disciple who is stupid and has disappointed you, Master."

Youngster.

In fact, it was the prince of Nanwang, who had the same appearance as the little emperor, and he also hurriedly said.

"No, you're not stupid, you're even smarter than a lot of people."

Ye Gucheng shook his head, and said lightly: "It's a pity that you have such a background and a face that I don't know how many people envy, it is these things that have become your constraints...... Your heart is not sincere, and the way of the sword is just like everything else around you, just a tool, a means, so you will never be able to learn to fly out of the sky......"

There was no tone of reproach in this remark, as if he was merely stating a fact.

The prince of Nanwang naturally understood, and did not explain anything.

There are many things to choose from in life.

And the choices brought by his identity are too many......

It's just this face.

Let the prince of Nanwang choose one, which is enough to be called a shortcut to the sky!

And for the thoughts of the prince of Nanwang, how could Ye Gucheng not guess it?

This White Cloud City Lord seems to be indifferent to things other than kendo.

But in fact, those eyes that are like sharp swords seem to be able to easily penetrate the minds of others!

Merely......

Although the two are nominally master and apprentice, in reality they are just using each other.

Ye Gucheng needs a chess piece.

Even if he knew that he was going to participate in the most dangerous and terrible game in the world.

And the prince of the South King.

It also needs a master to complete the most critical step in the plan for him.

Slay the Dragon!

Both sides are smart people.

Although they knew that they were just superficial masters and apprentices, no one had the intention of breaking this layer of window paper, but under the deliberate compliments of the prince of Nanwang, they maintained a happy atmosphere.

"How's it going?"

Hearing Ye Gucheng's words, the prince of Nanwang also showed a trace of excitement, but he quickly suppressed the thoughts in his heart and spoke.

"Everything is in accordance with your orders, Master, and you have sent a battle post to Wanmei Villa, inviting the Wanmei City Lord to fight at the top of the Forbidden City...... In addition, the disciples also ordered people to spend a lot of money to spread the news of this decisive battle through various channels, so as not to spread all this throughout the rivers and lakes in the shortest possible time. ”

At the same time, the prince of Nanwang also had a faint doubt in his heart.

That is.

When his subordinates were in charge of spreading the news, they felt as if there was another force helping them to help them.

"What's wrong?"

It seemed that he noticed that there was something wrong with the expression of the prince of Nanwang, and Ye Gucheng also said lightly.

"No ......"

The prince of Nanwang lowered his head and subconsciously concealed his doubts.

…………

The night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City.

As one of the few two kendo masters in the rivers and lakes, the news of the battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng has also spread all over the country.

Time.

The major gambling houses in the capital have opened handicaps, betting on who will be the winner in this duel between the two.

And all kinds of gossip are also spreading.

For example, it is rumored that Ye Gucheng encountered the plot of a certain Tang Sect master half a month ago, although he also successfully escaped, but he was poisoned by the secret weapon of the Tang Sect, and his strength could only be exerted eight or nine times out of ten.

To know.

If a master makes a move, it is a slight difference, and it may be the difference between life and death.

And Ye Gucheng's injury this time also made his odds plummet, and many people put heavy bets on Ximen Blowing Snow.

But.

Before these bettors secretly rejoiced.

It is also reported that Li Yanbei, a wealthy man in the capital who controls most of the gambling houses and Qinglou, was almost hit by a caravan that rushed when he came out of the small courtyard of his thirteenth aunt in the early morning.

Although Li Yanbei was rescued in the end, it can be regarded as a thrill.

But for a few days, those rich people who bet on their chips on Ximen Blowing Snow were also suddenly assassinated.

After many investigations.

The spearhead of all this is also pointed at one person - Du Tongxuan.

The latter's identity is similar to Li Yanbei, but his rise is shorter, and he is also a bit unscrupulous.

And Du Tongxuan has already put most of his body on Ye Gucheng's body, so he will find ways to send people to attack and plot, these gamblers who bet on Ximen Blowing Snow.

However, before these people could find the culprit Du Tongxuan, someone found Du Tongxuan's body!

Originally.

Du Tongxuan had already been killed.

In this way, what was originally confusing was also a bit unpredictable.

It's as if there is an invisible palm stirring everything in secret, deliberately mixing up this pool of water, so as to fish in troubled waters.

And on the other hand

As more and more people came to watch the battle between Ximen Fuxue and Ye Gucheng, there were also some people in the imperial city who did not open their eyes to break in, which made the guards of the Great Inner very annoying.

And Meng Zhi, the commander of the Great Internal Forbidden Army, in order to restrain these people in the rivers and lakes, also handed over five ribbons made of tribute silk from the Western Regions to Lu Xiaofeng, who had a wide range of friends.

and stipulate......

Only those who carry this ribbon are eligible to enter the palace on the night of the full moon.

As for those who did not carry ribbons, they were to be treated as the Assassins who assassinated the Imperial Palace.

Life or death!
