Chapter 38: The Night of the Full Moon
"Recently, there have been many events in the rivers and lakes in the capital, and the news that you followed me is estimated to have already been transmitted back to the Invisible People Organization, your little sisters are no longer reliable, it's best to follow me, and please take me with you if you want to go out!" Hua Manlou reminded Gongsun Lan, thinking in his heart: "In my memory, Gongsun Lan will die in the capital this time, although I have followed me recently, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, and my party swaggered into the capital, and it will naturally be known by other people who have a heart." ”
"You can't take a fancy to me, you care so much about my safety!" Gongsun Lan said in a silver-bell-like voice.
"I really like you, you will follow me for the rest of your life and live with me for the rest of your life!" After a slight stunned, Hua Manlou nodded and confessed, and answered seriously. Hua Manlou did have this thought, he can marry a wife in this life, of course he has to find a few good wives, Gongsun Lan is a good candidate, it's a pity to die, those who can be rescued must be rescued, it is estimated that Gongsun Lan, Shi Xiuxue, and Xiaocui will live with him for the rest of their lives.
"Shameless, who wants to follow you for the rest of your life!" Gongsun Lan was a little surprised and a little shy at Hua Manlou's answer, and the famous Grandma Xiong also left very shy and returned to her room.
Xiaocui and Shi Xiuxue had just heard such a lively conversation when they came back from outside to inquire about the news, and they looked at Hua Manlou in amazement, and they forgot to report the news they had found.
"Young master, don't you want me?" Xiao Cui, who came back to his senses, asked very sadly, and Shi Xiuxue's face was also pale.
"Yes, the three of you will live with me for the rest of your life in the future, young master, I am very dedicated. Hua Manlou announced with a serious face, not feeling greedy at all.
"Shameless, who wants to live with you for the rest of their lives!" Xiao Cui and Shi Xiuxue said in unison, and they also ran back to their rooms with red faces.
Quietly, the flower hall sat there one by one, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Young Master, I just heard that Ye Gucheng's move 'Flying Immortal' in Chunhua Tower pierced the pipa bones of Tang Tianrong's left and right shoulders of Tang Gate, Ye Gucheng was not injured at all, and now the handicap has been opened to Qibo One, betting that Ye Gucheng will win. Xiao Cui probed his head out of the side door, his face was still slightly flushed, and said as if he was offering a treasure to Hua Manlou.
"It's September 13 today, hurry up and order someone to buy Ximen Blowing Xuesheng, be quiet, don't spread the word, don't shoot guns!"
"Ah, young master, are you sure?" Xiao Cui looked confused and very surprised.
Gongsun Lan and Shi Xiuxue were also very surprised, the two had already come out of their rooms, and they were puzzled by Hua Manlou's move.
"Ah what, hurry up and arrange it, don't ask too much, find a powerful gambling house to buy separately, quietly, don't attract the attention of others. Hua Manlou urged Xiao Cui, one to seven, 700,000 taels of silver, a gambling village is afraid that it will be a little unbearable, and it will make the city full of wind and rain when the time comes, and this kind of wealth will be quiet.
On September 15th, in the afternoon, at dusk, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong picked up the stars, bringing the last two ribbons, which are said to change color and shine in the moonlight.
"Lu Xiaoji, there are four of us, you two are not enough" Hua Manlou said to Lu Xiaofeng very dissatisfied.
"Haha, that's your business!" Lu Xiaofeng threw down the two ribbons and left very happily.
"Young master, what should I do, I can't enter the palace without a ribbon. Xiao Cui asked anxiously.
"It's okay, if you want to go in, there will naturally be a way, let's go!" Hua Manlou asked Xiaocui to put away the ribbon, got up and cleaned up, and set off, he was going to go out and grab two, in his memory, someone secretly sold them, and he didn't want to give out the tens of thousands of taels of unjust money, anyway, they were all black goods.
As soon as Hua Manlou and his party came out of the small courtyard, there was a Xiao Si waiting at the door, handing over a package, saying that someone asked to hand over Hua Manlou to Hua Manlou, but before Hua Manlou could open it, Xiao Si left in a hurry, and a few turns disappeared.
Xiao Cui took the package and opened it, there were two ribbons in it that were exactly the same material as the one sent by Lu Xiaofeng, Xiao Cui, Gongsun Lan, and Shi Xiuxue were very surprised.
"It's interesting, this ribbon is enough, let's go!" Hua Manlou said with a smile.
Taihe Palace, the main hall is covered with gold-like glazed tiles, and it looks like a golden world under the moon. Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Xingxing were stunned, looking at the four people in Huamanlou, Lu Xiaofeng glanced over again, and saw thirteen or fourteen, each of whom had a discolored ribbon on his body, and his face was ugly.
"Where did you get the extra two ribbons?" Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly asked Hua Manlou and the group.
"Someone gave us two when we went out, not as stingy as you, knowing the four of us, I gave two, and next time I won't even let you open the window. Xiaocui said indignantly to Lu Xiaofeng.
The faces of the people next to him were very good-looking, and they spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy them.
Fake Ye Gucheng died under the sand of the Tang family, who were eager to take revenge on Tang Tianzong, and Lu Xiaofeng knew that something was wrong with the emperor and arrived in time.
The moon is full in the sky, the moon is fuller, the fragrance of cinnamon floats in the autumn wind, the fragrance of cinnamon is full of murder, the wind blows in from the window, the moonlight shines in from the window, the wind and the moon are as cold.
The moonlight was miserable, as if there was fog, and in the shadow of the imperial city in front of him, there was a person standing quietly, dressed in white like snow, and the snow blowing at the west gate blocked Ye Gucheng who was fleeing.
When the eyes of the two of them met, it was like a sword strike, they didn't move, this kind of static pressure was stronger and more terrifying than moving, a fallen leaf floated over, floating between the two of them, falling immediately, even the wind couldn't blow, although this pressure was invisible, but it was by no means invisible.
Ximen Fuxue suddenly said, "You learn swords?"
Ye Gucheng said: "I am the sword." ”
Ximen Blowing Snow said: "Do you know what the essence of the sword is?"
Ye Gucheng said: "You say!"
Ximen Blowing Snow said: "Yu Cheng." ”
Ye Gucheng said: "Sincerity?"
Ximen Fuxue said: "Only sincerity and righteousness can reach the peak of swordsmanship, and those who are not sincere are not enough to talk about swords." ”
Ye Gucheng's pupils contracted again.
Simon Fuxue stared at him and said, "You are not sincere." ”
Ye Gucheng was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "You learn swords?"
Ximen Blowing Snow said: "There is no end to learning, and there is no end to learning swordsmanship." ”
Ye Gucheng said: "Since you learn swords, you should know that as long as the person who learns swords is sincere to the sword, he does not have to be sincere to others." ”
Simon Blowing Snow stopped talking, the words were finished, the end of the road was the end of the world, and the end of the words was the sword.
During the conversation between the two, they were surrounded by the guards who rushed over, and Wei Ziyun, the leader of the guards, wanted to step forward to capture Ye Gucheng and subjugate the law, but was stopped.
Ximen Blowing Snow said: "If I join hands with Ye Gucheng's two swords, who in the whole world can resist?"
Wei Ziyun took a breath, and beads of sweat came out of the tip of his nose.
Ximen Fuxue said coldly: "This battle is inevitable, you had better make up your mind quickly." ”
Wei Ziyun couldn't make up his mind, he had always been scheming and making decisions on the spot, but now, he really didn't dare to take risks, suddenly, a person came out of the mountain of guns and knives, and everyone seemed to be relieved when they saw this person.
Lu Xiaofeng walked over from the moonlight, his eyes kept staring at the snow blowing at the West Gate.
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said: "Is this battle really imperative?"
Simon Blowing Snow said, "Hmm." ”
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Hua Manlou, he knew that Hua Manlou had the ability to stop it, and he had experienced the power of 'Heaven and Earth Lost Color' that night.
Hua Manlou felt Lu Xiaofeng's gaze, shook his head, and said that he didn't want to interfere, this was the lifelong pursuit of the two swordsmen, and it was the most decent way to die after the failure of Ye Gucheng's rebellion, he would not stop it, not to mention that there were 700,000 taels of silver in the account.
Lu Xiaofeng saw that Hua Manlou didn't want to do anything, so he asked Ximen Fuxue again: "Whether you win or lose this battle, you don't care about this matter anymore?"
Simon Blowing Snow said: "Yes." ”
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly smiled, turned around and patted Wei Ziyun on the shoulder, and said, "This battle, no matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to you and harmless, so, what are you waiting for, you still can't make up your mind about this matter?"
Wei Ziyun raised his head after thinking for a while, looked at Ye Gucheng, looked at the snow blowing at the West Gate, and then looked at Lu Xiaofeng, and finally let out a long breath and said, "Although tonight is the night of the full moon, this is not the top of the Forbidden City. ”
Although the bright moon has sunk in the west, it looks more round, a round of full moon, as if hanging under the eaves of the Taihe Palace, people are already on the eaves, there are many people watching, but there is no voice.
At this time, the starlight and moonlight were even lighter, and all the brilliance between heaven and earth had been concentrated on the two swords, the two immortal swords, the swords had been pierced, and the stabbed swords, the sword momentum was not fast, and the distance between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng was still far away.
Before the blades of their swords touched, they began to change constantly, and the movement of people was slow, but the movement of their swords was very fast, because they had changed at will before they could use a single move.
In the eyes of other people, this battle is neither fierce nor exciting, the four major guards of the palace Wei Ziyun, Ding Ao, Yin Xian, and Tu Fang have all shed cold sweat, these four people are all contemporary first-class swordsmen, seeing the changes in this kind of swordsmanship, it has reached the realm of doing whatever you want, and it is also the supreme realm in martial arts.
Lu Xiaofeng's hands suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he suddenly noticed that although the sword momentum of Ximen Blowing Snow was flexible, it was actually sluggish, at least not as light and flowing as Ye Gucheng's sword.
Ye Gucheng's sword was like a gust of wind outside the white clouds.
Simon blows the snow's sword, but it seems that an invisible thread is tied - his wife, his home, and his feelings are this invisible thread.
Lu Xiaofeng had also seen that in the twenty changes below, Ye Gucheng's sword would definitely pierce into Ximen Blowing Snow's throat.
Twenty changes in a flash.
Lu Xiaofeng's fingertips were already cold, and now, no one could change the fate of Ximen Blowing Snow.
The distance between the two people was already close at hand, and both swords had been stabbed out with all their might, this was the last sword, and it was already the decisive sword.
It was only now that Ximen Fuxue found that his sword was one step slower, and when his sword pierced Ye Gucheng's chest, Ye Gucheng's sword was bound to pierce his throat, this fate, he could not accept it, but at this time, he suddenly found that Ye Gucheng's sword momentum had deviated, maybe it was just a deviation between one or two inches, and this distance of two inches was already the distance between life and death, the cold sword blade had pierced into Ye Gucheng's chest, and he could even feel the tip of the sword touching his heart.
"Thank you!" Ye Gucheng seemed to let out a long breath from the depths of his heart, his face was like the dawn that had just been revealed, cold, hazy, and mysterious!
Ximen Blowing Snow knew that Ye Gucheng was willing to die under his own sword, and there was still the last drop of blood on the sword, which was gently blown down, looking around, the world was long, and suddenly there was an indescribable loneliness, Ximen Blowing Snow hid his sword and picked up Ye Gucheng's corpse, the sword was cold, the corpse was even colder, but the coldest was Ximen Blowing Snow's heart.
