Night.

Capital.

Tonight's curfew is earlier than usual.

Many people were driven home by the Jinyi guards before they had enough shopping.

The common people didn't know what was going on, but they were driven away by the Jinyi Guards because of the special circumstances.

In the Forbidden City, which is out of reach of ordinary people, it is full of people at this time.

There was a surge of people, and many people were talking.

"It's time to start! It's time to get started! ”

"A sword god, a sword immortal, it's really exciting!"

"I bet on Ye Gucheng to win, who did you bet on?"

"I'm also betting on Ye Gucheng! According to the news of Tianji Tower, in order to deal with Ximen Blowing Snow, Renye Gucheng created a new swordsmanship! ”

"Yes, I also bet on Ye Gucheng because of this!"

In the middle of everyone's sight, Simon was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou stood on either side of him.

"Simon, I beg you for one thing."

Lu Xiaofeng said to Ximen Blowing Snow.

Without waiting for Lu Xiaofeng to say what he was asking for, Ximen Fuxue spoke first.

"Let my men be merciful?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded.

"You are my good friend Lu Xiaofeng, and so is Ye Gucheng."

"To be honest, I don't want you two to fight."

"But Ye Gucheng ...... him"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed slightly in his heart.

Ye Gucheng's plan in his heart, Lu Xiaofeng had no way to intervene.

Everyone has a choice for everyone.

Even if there is no such thing this time, Ximen Blowing Snow will compete with Ye Gucheng in the future.

A sword immortal, a sword god.

It can't exist at the same time.

Ximen Fuxue did not reply to Lu Xiaofeng's words, and gently wiped the sword in his hand with a silk scarf.

Inside the Imperial Study.

Ye Ling'er and Zhu Houzhao, the three of Yunluo County Lords, were eating the food cooked in the imperial dining room.

"Ling'er, this is delicious, you eat this."

"Ling'er, this is better than that, you eat this."

"Ling'er, this ......"

Zhu Houzhao and the county lord of Yunluo kept sandwiching dishes for Ye Ling'er.

The little one's small bowl, the dishes caught by them, were stuffed to the brim.

"Stupid brother, stupid sister, Ling'er's bowl is all loaded."

The little guy said speechlessly.

Zhu Houzhao and Lord Yunluo looked at the little guy's bowl.

I saw that the little guy's bowl was full of all kinds of dishes.

The two smiled awkwardly, and Zhu Houzhao said:

"Eat slowly, not in a hurry."

Lord Yunluo nodded and said:

"That's right, eat slowly, don't rush."

Ye Ling'er sighed helplessly, lowered her head and continued to cook.

It's about to get into a fight, and only when you're full does you have the strength to fight.

Otherwise, there will be no strength to protect the stupid brother at that time.

……

Outside.

Yue Laosan and Tianshan Tong Grandma were standing on the roof of a certain palace.

The position where they were standing, just right to see the Forbidden City.

This is the place that Zhuge Zheng specially arranged for the two of them.

If it weren't for Zhuge Zheng's arrangement, they would have been discovered standing here now.

"Grandma, there are so many people down there!"

Yue Laosan glanced down at the Forbidden City.

At a glance, it is full of dense people from the rivers and lakes.

This is more than the people in the Shaolin Temple of the Northern Song Dynasty before.

"Didn't you notice something was wrong?"

Tianshan Tong said lightly.

"Something is wrong?"

When Yue Laosan heard this, his face was puzzled.

He really didn't see anything wrong.

I just think there are a lot of people.

There were so many that he couldn't count them.

Tianshan Tong said:

"Zhuge Xiaohua said that for the safety of the capital, not a lot of people from the rivers and lakes will be allowed to enter Beijing."

"The number of Jianghu people who have been put into the capital this time is only about 1,000."

"But look at the dense rivers and lakes below, where are there only a thousand people?"

"I think there are more than 2,000 people."

Tianshan Tong's grandmother discovered this problem, and Zhuge Zheng and I also discovered it.

"What's going on?"

"How can there be such a Jianghu person?"

Zhuge Zheng said with a frown.

Guo Bujing, Zhu Wuzhi, Cao Zhengchun, Wang Zhi and Qinglong stood next to him.

Zhu ignored it and snorted coldly:

"Someone must have given more passes, which led to more than half of the people in the rivers and lakes!"

Cao Zhengchun heard Zhu Ignorance's words, and his face did not change at all.

He did the right thing, but he was able to put on a look of not knowing anything.

Qinglong said in a deep voice:

"There are more than half of the people in the rivers and lakes, if there is an accident, I'm afraid the emperor will ...... there"

Qinglong was worried about Zhu Houzhao's safety.

The number of people they originally prepared was to deal with emergencies and was afraid of the 1,000 or so people from the rivers and lakes who would be put in.

As a result, I didn't expect so many more people to come out.

The people they are ready to protect Zhu Houzhao are completely insufficient.

Wang Zhi secretly glanced at Cao Shaoqin, and then said:

"On the emperor's side, I have asked Yuhuatian and my righteous daughter to bring people to protect the emperor."

When Cao Shaoqin heard this, he smiled and said:

"I also made the same arrangement as Lord Wang, and asked Cao Zhengchun and Yang Yuxuan to take people there."

……

Little by little, time passed.

A full moon hangs high in the dark night sky.

The moonlight fell from the sky as if it were daylight.

The people in the Forbidden City, who were talking a lot, gradually quieted down.

Everyone's eyes were on the Forbidden City.

"Simon is blowing snow!"

I don't know who shouted, and the silent crowd suddenly became lively again.

"Simon blowing snow over there!"

The crowd looked into the distance.

I saw Ximen Blowing Snow dressed in white, and his figure appeared on the Forbidden City like a ghost.

The bright silver moonlight shone on the white clothes of Ximen Blowing Snow, adding a touch of mystery to Ximen Blowing Snow.

Ximen Fuxue stood alone on the Forbidden City, quietly waiting for Ye Gucheng to appear.

……

The Imperial Study.

Ye Ling'er stood beside Zhu Houzhao, and the expression on her face was very serious.

The county lord of Yunluo has been taken down by the prince.

"Ling'er, don't be so serious."

Zhu Houzhao saw the little guy's serious face, and couldn't help but speak.

He wasn't that nervous.

With Zhuge Zheng's arrangement, Zhu Houzhao believes that nothing will happen to him.

"No way!"

The little one shook his head.

"Stupid brother, you are such a stupid person!"

"People are going to kill you, you still make Ling'er not serious?"

"Also, stupid brother, why aren't you nervous at all?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he said with a smile:

"With you protecting me, what am I nervous about?"

He didn't tell the little guy that there were other people in the shadows to protect him.

If he said it, the little guy would definitely say that he didn't trust him.

The little guy thought about it too.

has his own protection of the stupid brother, and the stupid brother doesn't seem to need to be so nervous.

"That's the same, stupid brother, don't worry, Ling'er will definitely protect you!"

The little guy said to Zhu Houzhao.

"Hmmm! I believe in you, Ling'er! ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded happily.

As they chatted, the voice of the prince came from outside the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the miscellaneous family has already sent the Yunluo County Lord back."

"Well, come in!"

The prince pushed the door open, but did not enter.

"Your Majesty, you are advanced."

Zhu Houzhao looked at the prince who was bent down and groveling, and asked suspiciously:

"Princess, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, a person wearing a dragon robe and looking exactly like Zhu Houzhao walked in outside.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the man in shock, and Ye Ling'er beside him was also shocked.

"Two stupid brothers?!"

Ye Ling'er said in surprise.

looked at Zhu Houzhao, and then looked at "Zhu Houzhao", it really looks exactly the same.

……

on the Forbidden City.

Ye Gucheng did not appear for a long time.

Ximen Fuxue was still standing there, motionless waiting for Ye Gucheng to appear.

Ximen Blowing Snow is not in a hurry, but those people in the rivers and lakes are in a hurry first.

"What's going on? Why hasn't Ye Gucheng come yet? ”

"Ye Gucheng won't dare to come, right?"

"Shouldn't it? Ye Gucheng made an appointment with Ximen to blow snow for a competition, but he didn't dare to come? ”

"It's coming!"

"Ye Gucheng is here!"

While everyone was talking, Ye Gucheng, who was also dressed in white, came over on the roof.

When Ximen Fuxue saw Ye Gucheng, he raised his eyes and looked at him.

"Ximen blowing snow, I didn't expect you to come so early."

After Ye Gucheng saw the snow blowing at the West Gate, he spoke first.

"It's not that I'm early, it's that you're late."

Simon said as he blew the snow.

Tianshan Tong stared at Ye Gucheng, and then said to Yue Laosan:

"Little San, do you see the clues?"

Yue Laosan, who was expecting Ye Gucheng and Ximen to blow the snow, was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of Tianshan Tong's grandmother.

"Grandma, what do you see?"

Yue Laosan scratched his head suspiciously.

Tianshan Tong's grandmother didn't have a good airway:

"Stupid! Can't see this? Obviously, that Ye Gucheng is fake! ”

Yue Laosan asked in confusion:

"Fake?! Grandma, what's the fake? ”

Although he hadn't seen Ye Gucheng, but in this competition, Ye Gucheng couldn't let a fake self participate, right?

"Didn't you keep looking at Ye Gucheng just now?"

Tianshan Tong asked.

"Aang! Oh, yes! ”

Yue Laosan nodded.

"Isn't that right? Haven't you noticed that Ye Gucheng's light skills are very poor? ”

Tianshan Tong said.

"Well, it's really bad, I feel worse than my second son-in-law's light skills!"

Yue Laosan thought about it, when Ye Gucheng stepped on the roof just now, his light skills were indeed very poor.

It is not modest to say that Ye Gucheng's light skills are not even comparable to himself.

Although Yue Laosan had doubts, he was only puzzled.

He only thought that Ye Gucheng was mainly cultivating swords, so his light skills were a little worse.

"Nonsense, your light skill is the most beneficial light skill Ling Bo Weibu of my free faction, and it is naturally much better than others."

Tianshan Tong's grandmother glared at Yue Laosan.

"As a sword immortal, Ye Gucheng is understandably poor, but it will never be particularly bad!"

"I just watched Ye Gucheng's light skills, just like a second- or third-rate martial artist."

"Even if he's bad, he shouldn't be that bad, right?"

"So I concluded that Ye Gucheng was fake!"

After listening to Tianshan Tong's explanation, Yue Laosan's sesame mung bean's big eyes widened.

"Grandma, why did Ye Gucheng do this?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

……

"He's a fake!"

Lu Xiaofeng stared at Ye Gucheng on the Forbidden City and said.

"Fake?"

Hua Manlou asked suspiciously.

He can't see, he can't see the clues.

"Hmmm! I have known Ye Gucheng for so many years, and I am very familiar with him! ”

"That Ye Gucheng on the Forbidden City can't be him!"

Lu Xiaofeng said categorically.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaofeng seemed to think of something and exclaimed:

"Oops!"

After speaking, he left Hua Manlou and ran away first.

……

Inside the Imperial Study.

"Who the hell are you? Why do you want to pretend to be me! ”

Zhu Houzhao glared angrily at the "self" opposite.

The "Zhu Houzhao" on the opposite side said the same thing as Zhu Houzhao.

"Who are you? Why do you want to pretend to be me! ”

Zhu Houzhao laughed angrily at his words, looked at the prince beside the fake Zhu Houzhao, and said:

"Princess, you have been by my side for many years, you don't know who I am, right?"

The prince stood up straight, stared at Zhu Houzhao with his eyes, and said in his sharp and piercing voice:

"Naturally!"

"The one next to me is His Majesty the current emperor of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Who are you to dare to pretend to be Your Majesty!"

"Don't you know, pretending to be Your Majesty, according to my Ming law, you will punish the nine clans!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the prince in disbelief.

"Princess, you ......"

The fake Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhu Houzhao proudly, and then said to Ye Ling'er beside Zhu Houzhao:

"Ling'er, come here, that's a fake me!"

Ye Ling'er looked at him and then at Zhu Houzhao.

"Ling'er, I'm real, he's fake!"

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly spoke.

"I'm the real one, you're the fake!"

Fake Zhu Houzhao said.
