Chapter 860: A Glimpse of the Whole Leopard
Sometimes people just think things too complicated, because they live in an environment full of malice, and if their minds are not complicated, they are afraid that they will be eaten to the point that there are no bones left.
Simon Beifeng and Simon Wugie are the people who live in that malicious environment. In the case that many Jianghu warriors were about to attack their Ximen Villa, they had to be vigilant, so much so that they had to guess the real intention behind even a joke.
If Ximen Beifeng didn't go to see Shangguan Xiaoyao this time, maybe he would still be in fear, after all, when the maid Zhu'er came over, the little joke he made with him made his aging heart a little unbearable.
Now that he got the exact answer from Shangguan Yaoyao's mouth, he realized that he was thinking about things too complicated. "Ximen Sword Technique" fell into the hands of the prince, it was really the prince who took the initiative to spread it, and the news was not for their Ximen Villa, but probably to attract the attention of other Jianghu warriors.
Ximen Wubei's face was still puzzled, he didn't know why Ximen Beifeng said so firmly that Ximen Villa was fine, could it be that the prince gave some promises?
But as soon as he gave the "Ximen Sword Technique" to the prince on the front foot, the news on the back foot leaked out, isn't this a manifestation of the prince's malice towards Ximen Villa?
"The crown prince is not what he is rumored to be, this is an intuition! He regards the rivers and lakes as his vassals, and he has this capital!"
When he said this, Ximen Beifeng's face still had a look of fear. He was shocked by Shangguan Yaoyao's eyes, those eyes like an abyss, can make a person's soul tremble, just such a character, how can it be as unbearable as the rumors say!
Rumors such as liking women, mediocrity and incompetence, doing things in one's own way, brutality and unreasonableness, etc., before he met the prince, he also believed it a little, but after he really met the prince, he didn't believe these rumors at all!
"Second grandfather, what happened between you and the crown prince?"
Ximen Beifeng went to see the prince once, and after coming back, his impression of the prince has changed, and now he is not worried about Ximen Villa, not to mention, Ximen Wubei even saw the horror of him when he mentioned the word 'prince' from the depths of his eyes!
"Prince, it's not as unbearable as rumored!"
Answering Ximen without sorrow, there was only a respectful word from Ximen Beifeng, and when the word 'prince' was mentioned again at this moment, in addition to fear, there was also a touch of awe in his eyes!
......
The rivers and lakes of Wancheng are boiling, and Ximen Villa dedicated the "Ximen Sword Technique" to the prince, which is something that everyone did not expect!
At present, most of the warriors who have entered Wancheng are coming for the "Ximen Sword Technique", and it is rumored that the "Ximen Sword Technique" is related to the whereabouts of the "Tianshan Nine Swordsmen", and the clues of the "Tianshan Nine Swordsmen" can be obtained by obtaining the "Ximen Sword Technique", "Snow Mountain Sword Technique" and "Qingyun Sword Technique"!
Some people in the rivers and lakes said that they wanted to make a move on Ximen Villa, the purpose was to muddy the water in the rivers and lakes, so as to get clues about the "Nine Swords of the Tianshan Mountains".
Most of the Jianghu warriors believed that there were clues about the "Nine Swords of the Tianshan Mountains" in the "Ximen Sword Technique", so more and more Jianghu warriors poured into Wancheng.
And even if you can't get the clues of "Tianshan Nine Swordsmanship", it is a good harvest to be able to get "Ximen Swordsmanship", after all, "Ximen Swordsmanship" is the swordsmanship that Ximen Ancestor learned from "Tianshan Nine Swordsmen".
But now that "Ximen Sword Technique" was given to the prince by the people of Ximen Villa, as soon as this news came out, it immediately made the Jianghu warriors think that Ximen Villa was on the line with the imperial court!
Wancheng, Linglong Inn.
Mo Qiushui looked dazed, she sat next to the windowsill, looking at the bustling street outside the door, but she was stunned here.
The news that Ximen Villa gave the "Ximen Sword Technique" to the prince would be leaked out, which was something she didn't expect.
Next to her, there was Feng Bo, who was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at his young lady in a daze, coughing lightly twice, and said, "Miss, are you thinking about the matter of "Ximen Sword Technique"?"
Mo Qiushui nodded, and asked with some doubts: "It's a good thing that this Ximen Villa sent out the "Ximen Swordsmanship", which can be regarded as sending out the hot potato, but why did the Ximen Villa send the "Ximen Swordsmanship" out on the front foot, and spread the news on the back foot?" "Could it be that it was the Ximen Villa that deliberately spread the news after sending the swordsmanship?"
When Feng Bo heard this, he smiled and said, "Ximen Villa has not dared to offend the royal family. However, since the news has spread, I am afraid that the prince who lives in Shangwan Inn is afraid that he will be in trouble. ”
When Mo Qiushui heard this, he frowned and said: "Could it be that there are still people in Wancheng who dare to make a move against His Royal Highness the Prince?" His Royal Highness the Prince's side, but there are six first-class masters in the rivers and lakes to protect him, although there are many martial artists who have poured into Wancheng at present, but so far, there have been no first-class masters in the rivers and lakes!"
"Maybe the news of the leakage of this sword technique came from the mouth of the attendant beside him?"
Feng Bo had a smile on his face, he was very sure of his guess.
Mo Qiushui looked startled, and said in surprise: "It's impossible, right? He is the crown prince, and the loyalty of the attendants who follow him can definitely be guaranteed, if even the attendants around him betray him, then he, the prince, deserves to be too defeated, right?"
Feng Bo explained indifferently: "The royal family itself is ruthless. It is not impossible for a few spies to appear around the crown prince. ”
When Mo Qiushui heard this, his surprised look turned into a sad face, and said, "If this is the case, then the prince is in danger!"
Feng Bo's heart froze, looking at the worried look on Mo Qiushui's face, he said in his heart, could he really like the prince?
This is not good, the power struggle of the royal family is too dangerous, there are too many rumors about the prince's bad in the rivers and lakes, coupled with the leakage of this exercise, it proves that the prince's side is definitely the most dangerous place, and now the young lady has a sign of liking the prince, for her future, this sign must be pinched off!
Thinking of this, Feng Bo immediately said: "Miss, the imperial court has always been at odds with us, whether the prince is dangerous or not, it doesn't matter to us!"
When Mo Qiushui heard this, he sighed and said: "I know the relationship between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, I am not worried about the safety of the prince, but also about the safety of my Snow Mountain Sword Sect! As soon as the prince obtained the "Ximen Sword Technique", the news was spread, and the person who can directly sell the prince is what kind of character is that? How can he be satisfied with a "Ximen Sword Technique"?"
Feng Bo pondered for a moment, looked shocked, and said, "Are you saying that this incident in Ximen Mountain Villa will involve our Snow Mountain Sword Sect?"
Mo Qiushui nodded and said, "The Jianghu warriors who entered Wancheng came for the 'Ximen Sword Technique', but more people wanted to get the clues of the 'Nine Swords of the Tianshan Mountains'. Our Snow Mountain Sword Sect, Ximen Sword Sect and Qingyun Sword Sect got the "Tianshan Nine Swordsmen" together, and after the Snow Mountain Ancestor, Ximen Ancestor and Qingyun Ancestor each realized the peerless swordsmanship, the "Tianshan Nine Swordsmen" disappeared, and now the Ximen Mountain Villa is in crisis, and the Jianghu warriors are running for the "Ximen Swordsmanship" on the face, but secretly I am afraid that they are coming for the clues of the "Tianshan Nine Swordsmen"!
Now that even the news of the prince's acquisition of the "Ximen Sword Technique" has been spread, the person who spread the news is probably trying to make the water in the rivers and lakes more confused, so as to obtain the three major sword techniques!"
Sadness gradually appeared on her face, and after some analysis of the matter, she felt more and more that this was possible.
"Uncle Feng, you go back and tell your father about this matter first, this time the matter of Ximen Villa's "Ximen Sword Technique" is by no means as simple as it seems!"
Feng Bo also knew the seriousness of the matter. When they first came down the mountain, they thought that the warriors of the rivers and lakes who poured into Wancheng saw the decline of Ximen Villa, and the warriors came for the "Ximen Sword Technique", but now it seems that things are not so simple at all, and the driving force behind the scenes is probably trying to wipe out the three major sword techniques! Now it is Ximen Mountain Villa that suffers, but the next must be the Snow Mountain Sword Sect and the Qingyun Sword Sect!
"Miss, if I go back, who will protect you? This time to help Ximen Villa, I think I can give up!"
"No, I want to stay in Wancheng and see what kind of force is behind the scenes!"
Mo Qiushui refused, she didn't leave, and Feng Bo couldn't leave, and the news of the interrogation was shelved for a while.
Now the whole Wancheng is talking about the "Ximen Sword Technique", and it can be said that since Shangguan came to this Wancheng, the turmoil in Wancheng has not stopped.
The "Ximen Sword Technique" that fell into the hands of Shangguan Xiaoyao is currently not coveted by many warriors in Wancheng, and some people even secretly started an alliance to discuss how to obtain the "Ximen Sword Technique".
......
Wancheng, Yang Lin Street.
The streets of Yanglin Street cannot be compared with the main street of Wancheng, the location here is remote, the houses are dilapidated, and the people who usually live in Yanglin Street are poor people in Wancheng.
In an inconspicuous house on Yanglin Street, eleven Jianghu warriors gathered together, making this house particularly noisy.
"Bishui Sword, what is the matter with you summoning us over? At present, the city guards in Wancheng are going around arresting warriors who have no way to lead, do you know that it is a very dangerous thing to summon us over like this!"
In the middle of the house, a middle-aged man with a meaty face shook the big knife in his hand, looking dissatisfied.
The person he called the Blue Water Sword was a man about thirty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome appearance. He has a turquoise long sword hanging from his waist, known as the 'Blue Water Sword', this 'Blue Water Sword' is the origin of his name!
