124. Reversal
This person was wearing snow-white clothes, a pale face, cold eyes, arrogant, even colder than a sword, even the emperor didn't pay attention to it, and in the face of the prince's questioning, he just said lightly: "Ye Gucheng." ”
The little emperor smiled again: "Flying immortals outside the sky, it is really a good swordsmanship." ”
Ye Gucheng said: "It was originally a good swordsmanship. ”
The little emperor changed his words, but said: "Why do the world-famous swordsmen want to be in the company of these flies and dogs? ”
Ye Gucheng was silent, but the faces of Prince Nan and Wang An became ugly.
The little emperor sighed lightly: "I am a beautiful woman, why should I be a thief." ”
Ye Gucheng's expression moved slightly, and he said: "Achievement is the king, and defeat is the thief." ”
The little emperor was very polite to Ye Gucheng, Ye Gucheng actually had a good attitude towards the little emperor, you said a word to me, and what he said was quite lively, until the little emperor said that Ye Gucheng had no sword in his heart: "The sword is straight, the sword is strong, how can a person with an evil heart hide a sword in his chest?" ”
Ye Gucheng coldly asked the little emperor to draw his sword, and the little emperor said: "I have practiced the sword of the Son of Heaven, and I am at peace with the people in the world, shouldering the country, and using my body as a sword to splash blood in five steps, which is not taken by the Son of Heaven." He smiled as he spoke: "I mean, you must not understand. ”
Ye Gucheng's face turned pale, clenched the hilt of his sword, and said, "Would you rather be tied up?" ”
The little emperor smiled and said nothing, and Wang An shouted on the side: "The matter has come to this, if you don't kill him, he will kill you!" ”
Nanwang Shizi said: "He will definitely do it, the world-famous Baiyun City Lord will not have the kindness of a woman." ”
Ye Gucheng was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't kill unarmed people, but today I want to make an exception......
Before he could say a word, he suddenly heard a sneer, the voice did not belong to the four of them, Ye Gucheng immediately became vigilant, and wanted to raise the sword, but he felt that the sword that was usually like an arm was like a thousand pounds, he couldn't lift it, and at the same time as he realized the Tao, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".
Wang An and Nanwang Shizi were already soft to the ground, Ye Gucheng only held on for a few seconds longer than them, and saw a person coming out of the shadows, he was also dressed in white, with a playful smile on his face, and said to Ye Gucheng: "Now that you are defeated, when you mention Ye Gucheng in the future, you will no longer be a swordsman who is famous all over the world, but a rebellious minister and thief who colludes with Nanwang's father and son." ”
Ye Gucheng had a humiliated and angry expression on his face, and he asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”
The man in white was Xiao Jiu, he didn't pay attention to Ye Gucheng at all, but turned around and bowed to the emperor, the little emperor asked Wang An and Nan Wang Shizi to be escorted down, frowned at Ye Gucheng, and said, "Brother Jiu, what do you say Ye Gucheng should do?" ”
Xiao Jiu sneered: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, since he dares to rebel, he will naturally have to suffer the consequences of failure, the Ye clan of Baiyun City, he himself will be put on death row first, and the crime will be beheaded after the crime is reported to the world, and let those lawless Jianghu people see what will happen if they are bold and reckless!" ”
Ye Gucheng's face was pale, he didn't care about life and death, but he couldn't help but care about reputation, for the people of the rivers and lakes, it was not a matter of offending the court, but being captured and sentenced alive by the people of the court was indeed a great shame, Ye Gucheng couldn't accept it, he said coldly: "Shi can be killed but not humiliated, since I have fallen into your hands, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, why do you want to deliberately humiliate people?" ”
If he still had a little strength at the moment, he would have picked up the sword on the ground and ended his life, instead of lying on the ground and listening to others talk about his fate, proud as he was, and could not accept the fate of being slaughtered like a fish on his board.
Xiao Jiu wanted to say something, but a long sigh suddenly came from outside the window, and Lu Xiaofeng said faintly outside: "If I knew you were here, I wouldn't have rushed to the rescue." ”
Xiao Jiu smiled: "I knew you could find out." ”
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ye Gucheng on the ground, wanted to say a few words of pleading, but was worried that it would stimulate him, and hesitated and didn't know how to speak, but Ximen Fuxue, who was stretching out his hand, didn't have this concern, he looked at Xiao Jiu coldly, and said, "How can I let him go?" ”
Ximen Blowing Snow's medical skills are also a must, and he saw that the drug in Ye Gucheng was very powerful, and if there was no antidote, even if he robbed people, there would be no way for him to recover freely, so he reluctantly pressed his temperament and asked Xiao Jiu with good words.
The little emperor stopped Xiao Jiu from continuing to irritate people with his poisonous tongue, he smiled and said: "As long as he helps me do one thing, and promises not to be disrespectful to the imperial power in the future, I can not blame the past for today's affairs." ”
Ye Gucheng was reluctant to accept the coercion, but was persuaded by Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue also said "You don't deserve to die here", in the end, he was shaken, and asked the little emperor what he wanted him to do, the little emperor looked at him, and Xiao Jiu said: "Huo Xiu's Tsing Yi Building, Gongsun Auntie's red shoes, and the embroidery thief Jin Jiuling, they seem to be irrelevant to each other, but there is a thread implicated behind them, behind them, there should be a force active, Huo Xiu and the huge property of Red Shoes is unknown, it is speculated that it fell into the hands of this force, Even this time the father and son of Nanwang rebelled, and they were there. ”
"According to our investigation, this force or organization will use property, power or beauty to buy and lure, and suck some people into them, these people have their own identities on the surface, and they have to obey the orders of that force behind their backs, and some people have wanted to break away from them, revealing that they are called 'invisible people', invisible people are everywhere, whether it is the court or the rivers and lakes, any person can be one of them, their existence is already a huge hidden danger, and it must be cleared up." Xiao Jiu said.
Ye Gucheng looked pensive, and listened to the little emperor say: "You just need to cooperate with Brother Jiu and find the location of the leader of the invisible people." ”
Lu Xiaofeng knew that the inside story of this matter was complicated, but the specific situation, he also heard about it for the first time, and immediately wanted to make a force, Ximen Chuixue didn't have a good impression of these people, but he was not interested in investigating the case, and only said: "If you need help, just ask." ”
Ye Gucheng thought about it again and again, this matter did not violate his principles, although according to his style, even if he knew this, he would not be willing to pay attention to it, but if he chose such an organization, he would not have any psychological burden, or that sentence, if someone threatened his life to do things, he would definitely rather die than give in, but in order to save the lives of his clansmen and his reputation, he could still take a step back to do something that was not reluctant.
Ye Gucheng, who had thought about it, nodded happily in agreement, but he suddenly thought of the big news that he had provoked in order to cooperate with the plan of the prince of Nanwang, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "There are so many fellow people in the rivers and lakes outside, all waiting to see me and Ximen Blowing Snow showdown......"
