With the rising sun, the sword duel has come to an end, and the defeat of Ximen Blowing Snow is both reasonable and unexpected, but what is even more surprising is that it was not Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, who defeated Ximen Blowing Snow, but Ding Xiu, who was dominant in the rivers and lakes with his sword skills.

As soon as this result came out, the world was in an uproar!

First of all, the people who set up the gambling game in this competition sat on wax, although there was a sword duel at the top of the Forbidden City, but because the two sides of the sword duel were not Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow at all, their gambling board collapsed directly, which also caused a lot of riots, but after all, they were all small fights and were not worth paying attention to.

What was really surprising was that Ding Xiu looked at the two people in front of him with an incredible face, one was Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, and the other was the emperor. No, now he is the prince of Pingnan.

"You can see that you're surprised?"

The former emperor, now the prince of Pingnan, seemed to be very satisfied with the surprised expression on Ding Xiu's face, and then showed a satisfied smile.

Ding Xiu didn't answer, but turned his head and looked at the Baiyun City Lord with a suspicious gaze: "Brother Ye, don't you think you need to give me a reasonable explanation?" ”

Ye Gucheng smiled, and instead of answering, he asked, "Are you curious now, why didn't I kill him?" ”

"Yes."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ding Xiu had already given an affirmative answer.

Ye Gucheng sighed: "Because I think that for us, his life is more valuable." ”

"Huh?!"

Ding Xiu was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, and then frowned: "Why, the dignified Baiyun City Lord is actually afraid of his own disciples?" ”

"Wrong."

Ye Gucheng corrected: "Brother Ding's words are wrong, from the moment he became the emperor, he is no longer my disciple, I thought you should understand, the emperor's family is born ruthless and unrighteous." ”

Ding Xiu was silent, and Ye Gucheng continued: "I don't kill him, not because I am soft-hearted, but because I want to hang a knife above the head of the new emperor, from now on, I will take him with me and personally pass on his martial arts and swordsmanship, and I also hope that you can give him a copy of the book given to the new emperor." ”

"I see."

Ding Xiu is not a stupid person, where can he not see that the reason why Ye Gucheng is like this is that he wants to leave a way back, once the new emperor makes a mistake, he will use the old emperor to set things right.

Anyway, this is a martial arts world, and the martial arts cultivation has reached a realm like theirs, as if they have stood at the pinnacle of this world, and they can already ignore ordinary rules, and even. Above the imperial power.

As an emperor, you need to master the life and death of the people in the world, but as a warrior, you only need to master the life and death of the emperor, the sword of the Son of Heaven, the sword of the Shuren, in fact, in essence, there is not much difference, as long as you can kill people, and you can kill people, it is a good sword.

Although the new emperor is a sword carefully polished by Ye Gucheng and Ding Xiu, it is still unknown whether this sword can shine and split the decaying Ming Dynasty

Therefore, Ding Xiu understood Ye Gucheng, but he didn't forget to remind: "Although your move has been carefully considered, you should also know that the sharpness of the sword can not only hurt others, but also hurt yourself." ”

"Thanks for the reminder."

As Ye Gucheng spoke, he handed the green silk sword to the mercy star beside Ding Xiu: "Mrs. Ding, thank you for borrowing the sword to help, now that the matter is over, this green silk sword should also be returned to you." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Lian Xing took the green silk sword and said with a smile: "This sword can help Fujun and Ye City Lord achieve great things and realize their ambitions, and it will not be in vain as a divine weapon." ”

"It's a pity."

Ding Xiu sighed and said, "During the martial arts competition last night, I exchanged weapons with Ximen Fuxue, so that your Feihong Sword has been broken, but don't worry, give me a while, and I will give you a sword." ”

"No need."

Ye Gucheng said with a smile: "When I came out of the palace, I had already obtained a divine sword treasured by Ouchi!" As he spoke, the hand behind his back had moved to the front, and he was holding a sheathed long sword in his hand, with a loud sound, the long sword was half unsheathed, and suddenly, the sword qi was deep and cold, enveloping the surroundings.

"Good sword!"

When Ding Xiu saw it, he immediately exclaimed: "I never expected that there would be such a divine weapon hidden in the deep palace, but unfortunately, no one can be worthy of this sword, and now it is obtained by Brother Ye, and it can be regarded as a sword and a hero." ”

Ye Gucheng said: "This sword is called Anan, and it is also made of deep sea cold iron, the sword is three feet six inches and nine points, and weighs nine catties and six taels and three coins. ”

Ding Xiu nodded and said, "Very good, with this sword in hand, you have a long way to go, I don't have to worry about you anymore, the matter of giving the sword will be stopped." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the former emperor, the current prince of Pingnan, and said, "I will give you the book you want later, and by the way, I will give you a piece of advice: practice your sword well!" ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I will."

Shizi replied with a smile: "Master Ye said that if I enter the rivers and lakes, within ten years, I will definitely be among the top ten masters in the world, so I also want to see how far I can go." ”

Ding Xiudao: "Your talent is very good, and you are also very smart, smart people must learn things quickly, but it is often easy to breed arrogance, if you want to become a real master, you must first defeat yourself." ”

"Defeat yourself"

With Ding Xiu's gift, the new prince of Nanwang followed behind Ye Gucheng and left outside the capital, ten miles to the farewell pavilion, Ximen Fuxue, Sun Xiuqing and his wife had been waiting for a long time.

"You're here."

Goodbye Ye Gucheng, Ximen Fuxue couldn't help but sigh and said, "You owe me a battle contract." ”

Ye Gucheng smiled: "Didn't I already fight you?" Although I didn't arrive last night, my sword has arrived, and a swordsman like you should know that the Flying Rainbow Sword is me. ”

Ximen Fuxue sighed: "It's a pity that the sword is broken. ”

Ye Gucheng said: "That means that I was defeated last night, not you were defeated under Ding Xiu's sword, and now, I'm afraid I'm not your opponent." ”

He could feel that after the battle at the top of the Forbidden City, whether it was Ding Xiu or Ximen Blowing Snow in front of him, his martial arts cultivation had undergone an unprecedented huge transformation.

However, even so, he does not regret it, because the success of the great cause is another way to improve, so his martial arts cultivation is also improving, but to what extent it can be improved, it depends on the performance of the new emperor after he ascends the throne.

Hearing Ye Gucheng's words, Ximen Fuxue was silent for a while, and finally turned sideways to get out of the way: "If this is the answer you gave me, I can only say that I am very dissatisfied with this answer." ”

Ye Gucheng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you are not satisfied, the key is that your wife is satisfied, okay, the rivers and lakes are far away, let's say goodbye, and when we meet again, maybe we can really draw our swords and fight." ”

Ximen Fuxue said solemnly: "There will definitely be this day, I will wait for you." ”

"No need, you better wait for your wife."

While Ye Gucheng was talking, he had already taken the new prince of Nanwang forward, and in the farewell pavilion, only Ximen Fuxue and Sun Xiuqing and his wife were left, standing side by side with their hands clasped, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on the bodies of the two, accompanied by the falling leaves flying in the sky, dragging out two long shadows.

[The end of the decisive battle before and after, there will be a supplementary plot in the follow-up, a new volume begins, and I look forward to the old irons subscribing and voting! ] 】
