Chapter 315: An Invitation
"Huh?"
Huo Xiu's whole body tightened, there was shock and murderous aura in his eyes, but he didn't move.
Huo Xiu was wondering how Ye Gucheng knew, and who else knew what he wanted.
Huo Xiu asked, "What does the city lord want?"
The first thing that big businessmen think about is whether they will be blackmailed.
Ye Gucheng said, "I don't have anything I want, what you have is useless to me. You don't have to be nervous, I just happen to know who you are, but I don't have anything to ask you for. Whether it is the richest man in the world, or the chief scoop of Tsing Yi Building, or Shangguan Mu of the Jinpeng Dynasty, it is the same to me."
Huo Xiu was shocked, Tsing Yi Lou could still explain, but the Jinpeng Dynasty was an old thing forty years ago, and it was far away from the gate, how did Ye Gucheng, who was only in his twenties, know? This is his biggest secret, he can no longer be calm, his fists are clenched, and there is a possibility of breaking out at any time.
Huo Xiu's instability also made Ye Gucheng cautious, and no one could ignore Huo Xiu's anger.
Huo Xiu asked, "The city lord is so well-informed, who else knows?"
When people like Ye Gucheng said this, Huo Xiu had no need to deny it, the only thing to worry about was the scope of the spread of this news.
Ye Gucheng said, "At present, no one else knows about it except me."
Huo Xiu asked, "How can I keep others from knowing?"
Huo Xiu's understanding of this was that Ye Gucheng was threatening himself with this news.
Ye Gucheng also understood the meaning of his words at once, and smiled bitterly in his heart, Huo Xiu misunderstood his words.
Ye Gucheng was not afraid to use force with Huo Xiu, but he couldn't let Huo Xiu misunderstand his personality, and said, "I know it's a coincidence, it's not that I want to know. I don't have anything to compromise with, and I won't threaten you with this. As I said, everything you have is not what I want. I won't go out and give you publicity, everything you have has nothing to do with me."
Huo Xiu felt that Ye Gucheng had a sense of reliability when he spoke, which made people trust, although he had only known Ye Gucheng and didn't know him at all.
Huo Xiu gradually relaxed his body, but Ye Gucheng's words still made him feel numb.
Seeing that Huo Xiu still looked worried, Ye Gucheng asked, "Boss Huo doesn't believe Ye's words?"
Huo Xiu shook his head and said, "The city lord has said so, and the old man naturally believes it. But if the lord of the city can know, others can know it."
Ye Gucheng said: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, and nothing can be hidden forever. But what if it leaks?"
Even if Tsing Yi Lou has done a lot of evil, his power and financial resources are here, and he has a top martial arts, even if he is known, he is not afraid.
But as a relict of the Jinpeng Dynasty, he was treacherous, which was the biggest pressure in his heart.
Huo Xiu said, "The people of the Jinpeng Dynasty will not forget me, they will definitely come to me."
Ye Gucheng said, "A dynasty that has been extinguished for forty years, even if someone can find you, what can you do?"
Huo Xiu was stunned, of course his current power could not be afraid of a dynasty that had perished and been hollowed out. But the psychological pressure of being a rebel made him not want to face this old thing.
Ye Gucheng knew that his wealth came from stealing the Jinpeng Dynasty, but he didn't think so.
Huo Xiu himself still knew that the rebellious ministers and thieves would be punished by everyone, but Ye Gucheng didn't care, and he was still talking in front of him, and even comforted himself. His obsession with the sword, so stupid that there is no black and white?
But Ye Gucheng's words did make Huo Xiu's mood a little lighter.
Huo Xiu left with a full stomach, although Ye Gucheng's words were reasonable, they could not make him change in a moment. However, because Ye Gucheng knew his secret, it made this lonely old man who had no friends and relatives feel a little close to Ye Gucheng.
As soon as Ye Gucheng sent Huo Xiu away and sat down in the house, he rushed out of the door and said in a deep voice, "Come out."
A woman's voice sounded outside the door: "The city lord is good at martial arts, and as soon as I got close, I was discovered by the city lord."
Pushing the door open a woman entered,
And the maids in Ye Gucheng didn't seem to see it, they were still doing their own things, and they would never draw their swords without the order of the city lord.
Ye Gucheng said, "You still dare to come back?"
The woman said, "The city lord has good eyesight, I am still recognized after I change my appearance, and I am here to thank the city lord for his grace not to kill."
The person who came was Gongsun Lan.
Ye Gucheng said: "Thank you for not showing your true face, so you don't need to be grateful."
Gongsun Lan was a little hesitant, not revealing her true face was the greatest protection for herself, and she never showed her true face easily, especially outsiders.
Gongsun Lan asked, "How did the city lord recognize me?"
Ye Gucheng said: "No matter what the face is, but the person is still that person, you can know it at a glance."
Gongsun Lan said: "In front of the city lord, there is really no need to change his face."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, taking off a human skin mask, revealing his true face.
It was a face of incredible beauty, as bright as the morning glow, like a fairy.
This face can indeed make Peng Shen shine, but Ye Gucheng just watched quietly.
Gongsun Lan said: "The little sister is also a newcomer to the rivers and lakes and planted in the hands of the city lord. The city lord is magnanimous, and the little sister can't stop coming to thank you."
Ye Gucheng said, "I accept your gratitude."
Gongsun Lan just frowned, she was very passive when she spoke like this, but she couldn't say nothing when she came, so she had to continue: "Little sister wants to ask the city lord, how did you find me, is there a big flaw in my disguise technique?"
This was the biggest doubt in her mind.
Ye Gucheng only glanced at her, and knew that there was fraud, so how could she feel at ease. She is a smart person, she knows that if she wants to live a long life, she can't be too famous, and she can't let too many people know herself. If you can be found casually, then how can you run the rivers and lakes?
And Ye Gucheng didn't embarrass her, and it also gave her the courage to come back and ask Ye Gucheng for clarification.
Ye Gucheng also saw the apprehension in her heart, he didn't want the important characters in the original book to be scared away before they came out of the rivers and lakes.
Ye Gucheng said, "Your disguise is very good, but it's useless to me."
Gongsun Lan's eyes rolled, with Ye Gucheng's character, it was already very face-saving to be able to say this, and if she asked again, she was afraid that she would be impatient, so she said, "So the little sister will be relieved. In the future, the city lord will be useful to the little sister's place, please command. My little sister has taken her leave."
Gongsun Lan was very flexible, and she saw Huo Xiu leave from Ye Gucheng from a distance.
Huo Xiu, a strange old man, can visit Ye Gucheng, there must be something that he doesn't know, but it is very important, he can't miss this opportunity to get to know Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng was also very surprised, he had just arrived at the palace, and he got acquainted with the leader of the chief scoop and red shoes of the Tsing Yi Building. Neither of them is right, but both are important.
When he arrived at the palace, Ye Gucheng found out that he was just one of the teachers of the prince, and the prince needed to learn a lot of things, not just martial arts.
What the prince wants to learn is the "Sword of the Princes" or even the "Sword of the Son of Heaven", while Ye Gucheng's is only the "Sword of the Shuren".
King Pingnan invited Ye Gucheng to become Shizi's teacher, not to make Shizi a swordsman, he was more to make friends with Ye Gucheng, a swordsman. He wanted to kidnap Ye Gucheng through this master-apprentice relationship.
It's right to think about it, after living for so many years, Ye Gucheng, who is no longer the lonely swordsman in the original book, was quickly relieved.
Maybe I promised him because of the original work, not after my own careful consideration.
The prince originally practiced martial arts, and Ye Gucheng only needed to give him a casual point, and he could be used for a lifetime. Since the prince's heart is not here, he doesn't need to take it too seriously.
However, there is another little girl who often goes in and out of Ye Gucheng's house, but it is Jiang Qingxia, the sister of the head manager Jiang Chongwei, a child who is only a teenager.
Of course, she didn't dare to disturb Ye Gucheng, but she liked to pester Ye Gucheng's maids very much, and asked them for martial arts.
Ye Gucheng saw it, but didn't stop it. Ye Gucheng will not take all the martial arts now
It's all in his hands, and he will even give advice when the maid teaches Jiang Qingxia martial arts.
After a period of contact, the people of Pingnan Wangfu found that Ye Gucheng was by no means as withdrawn and indifferent as he appeared, and he was still very good at talking to people close to him, but he would not waste a trace of extra energy on outsiders.
Ye Gucheng, who was invited by King Pingnan, didn't learn much, but let the chief manager's sister learn more.
On this day, this little girl came to Ye Gucheng's courtyard again.
This time, she didn't look for the maid who usually played with her, but came to Ye Gucheng and said to Ye Gucheng, "City Lord, there is a person in the palace today, saying that your swordsmanship is not very good."
Ye Gucheng was stunned, he was not so indifferent to this child, and asked, "Who said that?"
The young Jiang Qingxia said, "I don't know who he is, I heard him say this to my eldest brother."
Ye Gucheng didn't pay attention to a child's words, and was casually perfunctory about this little girl, and someone visited outside the door.
"Ye Lingfeng greets the White Cloud City Lord."
What Ye Gucheng saw was a middle-aged man who was more than ten years older than himself, Yushu was in the wind, handsome and extraordinary, carrying a sword on his back, and his heroic spirit was compelling.
Jiang Qingxia whispered behind Ye Gucheng, "It's him."
Ye Gucheng glanced back at Jiang Qingxia, and the little girl nodded.
Ye Gucheng didn't care, and said, "Please take a seat."
Loneliness cannot be rude, people visit him seriously, and he cannot turn him away for no reason.
Ye Lingfeng said: "Master ordered me to send an invitation to the Ye City Lord, on April 12, my Wudang sent Shi Yan Dao Chief to take over as the head of the ceremony, and I am here to invite the White Cloud City Lord."
Ye Gucheng looked at the invitation card in his hand and suddenly asked, "Are you a disciple of the Mudao people?"
Ye Lingfeng said: "Exactly, I am a disciple of the Wudang lay family, and the teacher of the industry is the head of the Mu Dao."
Ye Gucheng asked, "Shi Yan is a disciple of Mei Zhenren, why did you come to deliver the invitation?"
