Chapter 026: Tsing Yi (I)

That feeling......

The scene of the confrontation with Lu Xiaofeng last night has been replaying in his mind, and Ye Gucheng's face is as calm as water.

As the main person in charge of the plan of the prince of Dingnan to usurp power and seize the throne, Ye Gucheng did not allow anything to go wrong, and those who were suspicious had to die. As a person walking on a tightrope, doing a big thing that will make anyone in the world look at it, such a person's suspicion must be stored at all times.

If you make a wrong step, or leak the horse's feet, and are noticed by someone who cares, it is an extremely dangerous thing.

Therefore, Ye Gucheng did not allow any accidents in his affairs.

Just like his swordsmanship, the pursuit is perfection, and there can be no other faults.

But Ye Gucheng also knows that perfection means that there is no possibility of progress, which is too terrible for Ye Gucheng, who is already ranked among the top masters. The sword is lonely, and the man is even more lonely.

"Mr. Wang, you're too slack!"

With a mutter, Ye Gucheng's eyes were as cold as ice for thousands of years, if it weren't for the time now, he would have slashed such a person with a sword.

The exchange in Yiqing Academy had already made Ye Gucheng aware that something was wrong, maybe it was due to his personality, he felt that someone had discovered something bad, so he directly killed the turtle slave who was on the side that night, but when he was about to make a move on Ouyang Qing, the Oiran was not there.

And that one move had already let Ye Gucheng know that Yiqing Courtyard was not a Qinglou in the ordinary sense.

The dead turtle slave had good martial arts.

Yijie Qinglou, where do you need such people?

And during the day, he observed that the other party did not show the slightest martial arts. It was just a fatal temptation to kill the turtle slave, and Ye Gucheng got his own answer.

Oiran Ouyang love, inappropriate.

What surprised Ye Gucheng even more was that the disappeared Ouyang Qing appeared at the Yuelai Inn the next day and came to the man's room. This made Ye Gucheng temporarily suppress the idea of killing the other party, and turned to target the others who were present at the time.

For example, Lu Xiaofeng.

And what Ye Gucheng really cares about now is not Lu Xiaofeng's life and death after the first battle, but the residual feeling.

Last night's battle could be regarded as the first time the two met in the real sense, and that day in Yiqing Courtyard was just a glance, but the battle at midnight last night made Ye Gucheng's heart rise a strange feeling.

It's a stranger, but there's a sense of familiarity.

It's like...... The two are old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

It was as mellow as an old wine, but this mellowness made the killing intent in Ye Gucheng's heart even more ruined, and there was an urge to eat the other party in one bite.

So it's friends. He is also an enemy.

Sometimes, the relationship between the two parties does not need to be honed by the length of time, and sometimes the relationship between the two parties can be decided at a glance.

That sword......

Even if he didn't die, he was seriously injured.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Slowly closing his eyes, the white handkerchief wiped the dark and dull cold iron sword in his hand, Ye Gucheng returned the sword into the sheath, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Meanwhile.

A mountain lodge.

The magnificence cannot describe this Zhuangzi.

From the outside, this Zhuangzi is very ordinary, and there is nothing. But in the eyes of those who know the goods. I will find that the four words of magnificence can hardly describe the mountain villa in front of me.

Tile.

Wall.

Furniture.

Even the paintings that hung on them, as well as the teacups and so on, were extremely precious.

Its luxury is only afraid of the Forbidden City.

The only difference is that this mountain villa is not as big as the Forbidden City, and it is not as high-profile. It is a low-key luxury path.

In the eyes of ordinary people, I am afraid that the value of a chair here is immeasurable.

At this moment.

Hall.

The sound of silk and bamboo is extremely lively.

In the field, a group of delicate beauties are dancing.

There are no guests. These beauties dance for only one person.

On the main seat, there is a round middle-aged fat man. The body is five big and three thick, and the whole body is chubby like a ball. The man has a pair of small eyes, and because of his obesity, it can only be seen by outsiders.

Leaning back on the specially made chair, the big fat man quietly watched the dance in front of him and listened to the music. The face is quiet, the expression is calm, and there is no so-called lustful appearance, the fat man is still drinking tea quietly, and his eyes are not on these beauties at all.

Seem...... This middle-aged fat man is just cultivating his personal interest with music and dance.

Long.

The sound of silk and bamboo stopped.

With the movements of the middle-aged fat man, a group of dancers in the hall respectfully retreated, and suddenly the lively room fell silent.

If Lu Xiaofeng was here, he would definitely be able to recognize who this middle-aged big fat man was?

He is the richest man in the world, Huo Xiu.

It is said that the one with the most real estate is the Jiangnan Hua family, and the one with the most jewelry is the Yan family in Guanzhong, but the really richest person is only Huo Xiu.

The reason why this mountain villa can compete with luxury in the Forbidden City on a certain Cheng dΓΉ is because of his status, his wealth.

Although he looked like a middle-aged fat man, Huo Xiu was actually an old man over the age of six. Although he was rich in the world, Huo Xiu lived a hermit-like life, so few people could see his true face, only that he was a very withdrawn and eccentric old man.

But Lu Xiaofeng knows each other.

is worthy of Lu Xiaofeng's character wherever she goes, where right and wrong go, and where her friends go.

At the moment, Lu Xiaofeng was not there, only Huo Xiu stayed quietly but lonely in the villa.

Half a day.

A popping sound was heard.

It's the sound of wings flapping.

It seems that this is a golden nest that will attract the golden phoenix.

Huo Xiu, who had been drinking tea, looked up, his eyes with only one slit widened a little, and it was not a phoenix or a peacock that flew in, but a white carrier pigeon that cooed. The carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and landed on the table beside Huo Xiu, standing on it with its head sideways and began to peck the feathers on its wings with its beak.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Putting down the teacup, the meat was almost a ball, and he grabbed the carrier pigeon with his right hand. Huo Xiu directly took down the letter tied to the bird's leg, unfolded it and read it little by little.

The content of the letter surprised Huo Xiu a little.

At first glance, the fat on his face couldn't help but tremble.

"Princess Danfeng ......"

muttered, Huo Xiu's expression looked a little strange, his chubby head resting on his body made people look as if he had no neck, and turned his head sideways slightly, only then did he put the letter in his hand back on the table, and said to himself: "Want to get the treasure back?" Ha, it fell into the hands of the old man, this thing is the old man's mine! ”

Huo Xiu has only one hobby in his life. That's money.

It can be said that it is the love of money as life.

Just like when he just listened to the music and watched the dance, what Huo Xiu thought was how good it would be if these dancing beauties were golden?

"Hmm!"

"And the Joy Inn!"

Squinting and groaning, Huo Xiu thought back to what he had just read on the envelope, his people had already sensed that the remnants of the Jinpeng Dynasty were about to retriev the treasure that had been lost, and they were obviously suspicious of that action.

Although Huo Xiu loves money like his life, he never thinks that he is the only smart person in this world. Decades of life experience have already made Huo Xiu know not to treat others as fools. Otherwise, you won't be able to figure out that you're the fool in the end.

What made Huo Xiu care was not Princess Danfeng looking for Lu Xiaofeng's help, although he knew Lu Xiaofeng and knew how powerful Lu Xiaofeng was, but his focus was not on Lu Xiaofeng. It's another aspect.

That's the Joy Inn.

As mentioned in the letter, Princess Danfeng went to the Yuelai Inn three or five times.

"Didn't you say that the water from the well does not interfere with the water of the river......

"It seems that the old man should also be prepared."

"Traitor!"

"The old man has never admitted it!"

When the words fell, Huo Xiu slowly stood up, his whole person like a balloon blown by a strong wind. Without the slightest clumsiness that a fat man should have, the man flashed out of the room like a ghost.

……

What is the fastest in the world?

Except for the light. It's gossip news.

And it was only half a day, and in the ears of many people in the rivers and lakes, a news had already been spread, and it was a very big news, shocking news.

That is the world-famous four-eyebrow Lu Xiaofeng, dead.

For a while, as long as he was in the capital, whether it was Lu Xiaofeng's friends or his enemies, or those women who had been with him, they were all stunned at this moment.

No way!

This is the first thought that comes to everyone's mind when they hear the news.

Even Lu Xiaofeng's enemies are like this.

But even if you don't believe it, after being confirmed, everyone is extremely surprised and shocked.

Who killed him?

In the world, how many people can kill Lu Xiaofeng?

For a while, everyone became the object of suspicion among the top masters in the rivers and lakes, especially the masters with swords.

West Gate blowing snow exclusion.

Then there are only the elders of the Wudang faction, Mu Daoren, the lord of Baiyun City on Feixian Island in the South China Sea, Ye Gucheng, and the head of the Emei faction, Dugu Yihe, who have become the objects of suspicion. As for whether there are other top masters in the rivers and lakes who hide their swords, it is not very important at this moment, and these three people have become the biggest objects of suspicion.

To the surprise of the people in the rivers and lakes, it is said that all three of them have alibi certificates.

Mudao is in Wudang, Dugu Yihe is in Emei as the head, and Ye Gucheng is staying in Dingnan Wangfu as the swordsmanship teacher of the prince.

Instantly.

The rivers and lakes are shrouded in a dark cloud called covering up the truth. This news has also spread all over the rivers and lakes in a short period of time.

Two days later.

Wanmei Villa.

Dressed in white like snow, the man who was cold and arrogant walked out of the villa with his sword, stepped on a fast horse, and headed straight in the direction of the capital. (To be continued......)
