Chapter 1261 Ye Gucheng, You Great Swordsman Has Changed
Chapter 1261 Ye Gucheng, You Great Swordsman Has Changed
While Du Tongxuan was chatting and laughing, and after increasing the chips of both parties by nearly one million taels, a gust of wind blew through the window.
All the people in Chunhe Building suddenly smelled a strange fragrance of flowers, and then saw six girls carrying baskets full of yellow chrysanthemums, sprinkled them all the way, and spread the bright chrysanthemums into a tapestry on the stairs.
Then Ye Gucheng came up.
His face was very white, neither pale nor pale, but a lustrous and lustrous color like white jade.
His eyes were not pitch black, but they were terribly bright, like two cold stars.On his jet-black hair, he wore a crown of sandalwood beads, and his clothes were as white as snow.He walked very slowly, and when he came up, it was like a king walking into his court, or like a flying fairy from the sky, descending to the world.
Ye Gucheng's whole body seemed to be exuding a dazzling light, and everyone could tell that he definitely didn't look like an injured person.
He was not injured, so the honest monk really lied!
Everyone was looking at Ye Gucheng, and Ye Gucheng was staring at Lu Xiaofeng.
Because he felt that in the entire Chunhe Building, only Lu Xiaofeng was qualified to talk to him.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Gucheng's eyes suddenly moved away from his face, and he suddenly asked, "Which one is Tang Tianrong?"
When he was asking this sentence, his eyes were fixed on a person in the left corner.
This person—a face that was originally handsome, now seems to have suddenly turned stiff.
He has been sitting quietly in the corner all this time, very young, dressed in gorgeous clothes, but with a cruel expression like a carrion hawk in his eyes.
These eyes were also staring at Ye Gucheng, and he said in a word: "I am Tang Tianrong J"
The seven or eight tables of people sitting between him and Ye Gucheng suddenly dispersed and retreated to the corners on both sides.
Ye Gucheng said: "Do you know who I am?"
Tang Tianrong nodded.
Ye Gucheng said: "Are you wondering why I am still alive?"
The muscles at the corners of Tang Tianrong's mouth seemed to be twitching, and he said, "Who detoxified you?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's thoughts immediately changed.
It seems that the honest monk still did not lie.
It's the servants of the Ministry of Punishments who have acted recklessly and disregarded human lives!
Ye Gucheng was indeed injured, and he was indeed hit by the Tang family's arsenopyrite.But this kind of hidden poison weapon, which has been famous in the martial arts world for a long time, seems to have no effect on Ye Gucheng.
Who detoxified him?Everyone wanted Shi Gucheng to answer this question, but Ye Gucheng didn't answer, and said indifferently: "It's not poisonous, why detoxify?"
Tang Tianrong said: "It's not poisonous?"
Ye Gucheng said: "A little dust, what's the poison?"
Tang Tianrong's complexion changed, "The flying sand from our sect is just a speck of dust in your eyes?"
Ye Gucheng nodded.Tang Tianrong didn't speak anymore, but slowly stood up.He unbuttoned the gown, revealing a tight suit inside, two leopard leather pouches clinging to his left hip, and a pair of fishskin gloves on his belt.
The restaurant became silent again. Everyone wanted to leave, but they couldn't bear to leave.Everyone knows that right here, at this moment, a thrilling and fierce battle is about to begin.
Tang Tianrong took off his gown and put on his gloves.The fish skin glove flashed a strange blue light, and his face seemed to be pale blue as well.
Ye Gucheng stood quietly and watched. There was a boy in white behind him, holding a very elegant long sword with a black sheath.The sword is already in hand.
Tang Tianrong stared at the sword in his hand and suddenly said: "Who else thinks that the wide sand in our sect is just a bit of dust?"
Of course no I
Tang Tianrong said: "If someone else is involved, you'd better go downstairs, so as not to be accidentally injured!
Those who are reluctant to leave have no choice but to leave.The arsenopyrite of the Tang family is even more terrifying than the plague in the eyes of martial arts people, and no one wants to get a little bit of it.
Ye Gucheng suddenly said: "You don't have to go."
Tang Tianrong said: "No need?"
Ye Gucheng said calmly: "I guarantee that your flying sand will not be able to be used at all!" Tang Tianrong's expression changed again.
The horror of the hidden weapon of the Tang family's poison is not entirely due to the poison of the hidden weapon, but also because the Tang family's children are quick to attack!Even those who have seen them make moves with hidden weapons cannot describe the speed at which they make moves.But this time Tang Tianrong's hidden weapon really failed to make a move.With a move of his hand, the sword light flew up!
No one can describe the brilliance and brilliance of this sword, and no one can describe the speed of this sword!
It was not just a sword, but the wrath of Thor, a strike of lightning.
The sword light flashed and disappeared.
The people of Ye Gucheng have returned to flowers.Tang Tianrong was still standing there, without moving, his hands had dropped, and his face was already stiff.
Then everyone saw blood suddenly flowing out from under the bones of his left and right shoulders.Tears flowed down at the same time as the blood.
He knew that in his life, he would never be able to release a hidden weapon again.For the children of the Tang family, this kind of thing is even more terrible and cruel than death.
Now Ye Hucheng's eyes have returned to Lu Xiaofeng's face.
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but said: "Okay - let's go to Tianwai Kuanxian."
Ye Gucheng said: "That is a sword technique unparalleled in the world."
At this time, a very indifferent voice came: "Da Ming Law, there are people who hurt people in the street, one hundred battles, and ten days in prison. Ye Daxia is a close minister of the vassal king. Although he can be exonerated, he can't escape the law. Why not?" How about inviting Master Ye to the Criminal Department for a cup of tea?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Chunhe Building fell silent.
Ye Gucheng and Lu Xiaofeng were shocked.
They are existences at the pinnacle of martial arts, and in the entire Chunhe Building, falling leaves, flying flowers, wind and grass, can never escape their eyes and ears.
On this point, Ye Gucheng has a sharper perception than Lu Xiaofeng.
But until someone spoke, the two of them knew that a great master had appeared not far from them. Before that, even Ye Gucheng didn't have the slightest sense.
Ye Gucheng turned around slowly and looked at the person coming.
I saw a handsome young official in uniform, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Gucheng and saying: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land? I have checked the local chronicles of various places in the South China Sea, and I have never found that Feiye Island in the South China Sea belongs to Ye Gucheng." Is it owned by the clan, is it privately handed down by the southeast king? Isn’t that very good?”
After these words were spoken, the entire Chunhe Building became even more silent, and one could hear a needle drop!
He was chatting and laughing with Ye Gucheng in the street, his words were full of threats, and even the Southeast King didn't take him seriously. There was only one person in the entire capital!
The left servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zhao!
Ye Gucheng's eyes were like cold stars, pinned on Chen Zhao's face, and the highest vigilance rose in his heart!
Just yesterday, Monk Lao Shi was defeated by a move from a criminal officer, Chen Zhao's sworn brother, and it was rumored that he was defeated by magic.
According to intelligence, his sworn brother Li Chishui is a young swordsman from the Xiandu sect, so the skills he knows must have been obtained from Chen Zhao.
In other words, the Chen Zhao in front of him is not only a martial arts master, but also a magic master!
Then Ye Gucheng's plan to participate will be greatly hindered by this person!
Either eradicate him, or hide it from him!
This thought flashed through Ye Gucheng's mind quickly, but his face remained unmoved, and he said in his mouth, "But Chen Shilang is in person?"
Chen Zhaodao: "Yes!"
"Master Shi Lang doesn't know that the battle between me and the Tang Sect in the middle of Sichuan is a rural custom of the Ming Dynasty, which is in line with the world and is also allowed by the law of the Ming Dynasty!"
Ye Gucheng said slowly.
"What?" Chunhe and everyone upstairs fainted immediately!
Ye Gucheng is a peerless swordsman who comes out every 300 years, and he is as lonely as a cliff.
Coupled with the fact that his swordsmanship has reached perfection, he has nothing to ask for, and feels extremely cold and lonely at a high place. It can be said that he is a person who is extremely proud.
He doesn't care if he has friends or not, but he finds me boring because he has no rivals.
Such a person would never say words such as "country customs" or "human feelings."
But he just said it.
It is enough to show how much pressure Chen Zhao put on him!
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng and Li Yanbei looked at each other, feeling a chill at the same time.
It was as if an icy giant beast from Beiming came to Chunhe Tower and was named Chen Zhao.
But Chen Zhao in front of him smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Daxia Ye, your heart is confused! It seems that you are not sincere to the sword!"
Ye Gucheng's pupils closed suddenly, and he said, "You say I'm dishonest?"
Chen Zhao said indifferently: "If you are sincere in swords, you should know that neither you nor Ximen Chuuxue can compare to Taoist Mu in swordsmanship, so this contest is meaningless!"
Ye Gucheng's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Chen Zhao looked at him: "Your swordsmanship is still inferior to Taoist Mu, but you want to challenge Ximen Chuuxue because you expect that only Ximen Chuuxue will not refuse to fight you!"
Chen Zhao paused, and then said: "The way of the sword lies in being sincere and righteous to the sword. You dare not face up to Taoist Mu's swordsmanship. How can you reach the peak of swordsmanship? You are not sincere to the sword, and it is not worth talking about the sword. Since you don't Honestly, what’s the point of this debate?”
"So without further ado, let's invite Mr. Ye to the Criminal Department for a cup of tea!"
Chen Zhao said so, and made a gesture of invitation.
Having said that, he didn't even call him "Hero Ye".
Ye Gucheng narrowed his eyes again.
A trace of anger arose in his heart, and at the same time a powerful fighting spirit burst out.
Of course he could see that Chen Zhao, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, was by no means a simple person!
It's not as simple as Ouyang Qing and Guisunzi.
For now, it seems that he is determined to fight against himself.
Its purpose is just as he said, he hurt people in the street, was caught by the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, and punished himself according to the law of Ming Dynasty?
Of course this is an excuse!
How proud Ye Gucheng was, he understood the opponent's purpose in just a moment.
Chen Zhao claims to be the executor of the Ming Dynasty Law, so he naturally wants to stop all unrest factors. The so-called "chivalrous people use force to violate the forbidden law" is naturally something he will never allow!
Two peerless swordsmen are going to compete on the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Logically speaking, it should be within the scope of the Ouchi guards and the Jinyi guards.
But Chen Zhao did not hesitate to come out to deal with it.
To reflect his influence in the court and the arena.
So he wanted to stop himself.
Once he is brought to the Ministry of Punishment, the reputation of Baiyun City Lord Ye Gucheng will be ruined!
This duel has become a joke.
He is playing wishful thinking!
And Ye Gucheng also believed that since the other party dared to come here, it meant that his martial arts had reached an incredible level, and his skills were even more incomparable!
Maybe you can really defeat yourself, or even humiliate yourself like an honest monk!
But do you think there is nothing I can do?
Ye Gucheng sneered in his heart.
You and I discuss the king's law, that's great, I will also discuss the king's law with you!
Ye Gucheng smiled coldly: "Chen Shilang, do you also want to learn about the Flying Immortal?"
Chen Zhao smiled lightly: "Whatever sword move you want to use, you can use it. If you don't want to use it, it's up to you. You just need to go with me to the Ministry of Justice to have a cup of tea!"
"What if I don't go?"
"If you don't want to go, I will let you..."
"The imperial decree arrives..."
Suddenly a long shout interrupted Chen Zhao's words.
Chen Zhao frowned, looked up at Ye Gucheng, and immediately understood the opponent's back move.
Sure enough, amidst the sound of footsteps, an eunuch stepped up the stairs, looked at Chen Zhao, and said with his head held high: "Chen Shilang, Your Majesty has a decree that I want me to read it here for you to hear."
Before Chen Zhao could say anything, the eunuch said again: "You are all masters in the world, so there is no need to kneel down and listen."
Everyone had no intention of kneeling down to listen, but now they don't even need to cover up.
"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, Zhao said, I am overjoyed to hear that two peerless swordsmen are going to compete in the Hall of Supreme Harmony..."
The eunuch Yang Yang read a long article, in short, he allowed Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng to duel at the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Of course, the intention was to ask Chen Zhao not to stop him.
After the eunuch finished reading the decree, he immediately put away his lofty and worldly demeanor, nodded and bowed to Chen Zhao, and said, "Chen Shilang, this servant is ordered to deliver the decree, and please accept the decree."
Chen Zhao nodded, and after receiving the order, he glanced at Ye Gucheng and smiled: "Since Mr. Ye has the emperor's order to protect his body, the Ministry of Punishment can't interfere, but if one day the emperor's order no longer protects his body, then it won't It's easy to say!"
Since Ye Gucheng wants to seek death with all his heart, then just follow him!
After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Ye Gucheng, and turned to look at Lu Xiaofeng: "Daxia Lu, I ask Li Dalong's subordinates to tell you that if you come to the capital, please go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to speak. I have something to say to you. You must have received the message."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and nodded. Of course he knew the news and said, "I really don't know what Lu has committed. I would like to trouble you, Sir, to name him personally."
"It's nothing. I heard that Lu Daxia has the appearance of a detective. I want to invite you to discuss the situation in the capital. I think you will definitely not refuse!"
Lu Xiaofeng sighed and nodded with a wry smile.
Unlike Ye Gucheng, who has an imperial decree to protect his body, he naturally cannot refuse the call of the Ministry of Punishment.
After all, the opponent not only represents the law, but also has peerless martial arts.
If he didn't know what to do and ran away like an honest monk, I'm afraid some stone lions would turn into live lions and attack him.
Although Lu Xiaofeng was not afraid of anything, it was better not to cause any trouble.
After all, the opponent is the legal department of the Ming Dynasty.
More importantly, when the other party asked him to discuss the situation in the capital, it seemed that Lu Xiaofeng's itch was suddenly touched!
……
Chen Zhao did not take Lu Xiaofeng to the Ministry of Justice, but asked him to get on the carriage and asked the driver to go to Xiangyunju.
"Xiangyunju is an industry controlled by me as Uncle Zhongyong. The last time Lu Daxia came to the capital, you haven't been there yet, right?"
On the carriage, Chen Zhao said with a smile.
"Lu has heard about it, and I've heard it from Li Yanbei." Lu Xiaofeng admitted with a nod.
"I've already invited that Elder Sun to wait at Xiangyun Residence. After we arrive, we can discuss together."
Chen Zhao said.
"Master Sun? Master Gui Sunzi?" Lu Xiaofeng was startled and asked hastily.
"Yes, it is said that Taoist Mu and Layman Gu Song are also looking for him, but since I invited him first, he must be with me."
Chen Zhao said with a smile, "But I also informed Taoist Mu that if they want to inquire, they can go to Xiangyun Residence and wait together."
Lu Xiaofeng sighed and stopped talking, he found that the other party seemed to know everything and dealt with it very calmly.
It seems that everything is easy to solve.
"Could it be that he is Dazhi or Datong?" This idea popped up in Lu Xiaofeng's mind, which shocked him.
But then the thought was driven away.
With Chen Zhao's wealth and status, he doesn't need it at all, and he doesn't bother to do great wisdom, or Datong!
A dignified young scholar, a high-ranking official in the court, has a lot of ways to make money, so naturally he doesn't have to go through all kinds of hardships to dig into caves and put on mysteries.
"But having said that, he invited Mr. Guisunzi, Taoist Mu, Layman Gusong, and me to talk in Xiangyun Residence. What is the reason?"
When Lu Xiaofeng was thinking in his heart, Xiangyun Residence had already arrived.
When the two arrived at Xiangyun Residence, Taoist Mu and Layman Gusong were already waiting at the gate of Xiangyun Residence.
Taoist Mu has silver-white hair all over his head, but he is wearing a tattered Taoist robe, which seems to have not been washed for many years, and behind him is a thin, well-groomed old man, who is Layman Gusong.
Taoist Mu couldn't help laughing when he saw Feng and Lu, he stepped forward and said, "Pindao has met Mr. Chen."
Chen Zhao quickly supported Mu Taoist and said with a smile: "Taoist Master, you're welcome!" '
"Although the poor Taoist is an outsider, he will naturally salute when he sees a high-ranking official!" Taoist Mu laughed. Although his words were modest, he was very satisfied with Chen Zhao's attitude.
Facing a senior Wudang master like Mu Daoren, Chen Zhao didn't try out martial arts at all.
Speaking of which, although the other party is a tycoon, he is also a tycoon within the Wudang Sect. He has also recruited a group of evil thieves to serve as thugs, but his ultimate goal is to kill them after they are used up.
It's okay to say that!
Therefore, there is no conflict between Chen Zhao and Mu Daoren, the hero.
"The Daoist is a famous Wudang master, a disciple of Emperor Zhenwu. The Ming court from Emperor Taizu down, the emperors and ministers of all dynasties respect Wudang Daoist, Mu Daoist is even more outstanding, I dare not accept the ceremony."
Chen Zhao replied with a smile, nodded to the layman Gu Song, then pointed at Lu Xiaofeng and said: "This great hero Lu Xiaofeng, the two seniors must be very familiar with him!"
Taoist Mu nodded with a smile, looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said:
"You are indeed here, I knew you would come!"
Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to smile too, and said: "I also know that you will definitely come."
The wooden Taoist laughed.Although this Wudang elder is nearly seventy years old, he is still full of rosy face and full of energy, and he is unrecognizable in the world. Few people can tell that he is one of the three most famous swordsmen in the contemporary era.
He laughed loudly and said, "Of course I don't want to miss this battle. Even if I'm really too old to walk, I still have to crawl."
Lu Xiaofeng said lightly: "Do you want to see if there are any flaws in their swordsmanship, and fight with them again?"
Taoist Mu was not angry either, but he sighed and said: "I am old, I don't want to fight swords or drink with others anymore, if someone asks me to play chess, I am willing to accompany them."
Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Chen Zhao and remembered what he just said in Chunhe Building.
This Shilang Chen believed that Mu Daocai was the best swordsman in the world. He not only stirred up dissension, but also had real intentions.
Chen Zhao naturally understood Lu Xiaofeng's eyes and said with a smile: "To be honest with Taoist Master, I just met Ye Gucheng and told him that I believe that Taoist Master Mu is the best swordsman in the world, and the second and third ranked ones are It's really funny to fight a duel between swordsmen today!"
Taoist Mu was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I'm getting old! It's useless."
Several people chatted and laughed as they entered Xiangyun Residence and arrived at the room that Chen Zhao had booked.
The turtle grandson is waiting inside.
Just a little drunk.
Although Master Sun could no longer stand up, fortunately he could still sit up.
Now he was sitting upright in the chair in the room, his eyes straight, glaring at Chen Zhao, Lu Xiaofeng, Mu Daoren and others who were looking at him, and said: "Even if this official is in a hurry to find those two old men, Monster, you should at least have a drink with me first."
Chen Zhao said with a smile: "I don't want to find Datong, nor do I want to find Dazhi, as long as you are here."
"Oh? Without them, who would you ask questions to?"
"What's wrong with the world? I just don't want you to be assassinated."
Chen Zhao smiled lightly, then patted his palms lightly.
Immediately someone came in from the outside, holding a plate in his hand.
There is a snake on the plate.
Red snake.
It's just a dead snake.
And beside the dead snake, there is a whistle.
Chen Zhao said: "What do you think of this snake?"
Taoist Mu pondered, "It looks like this is a strictly trained red snake."
Lu Xiaofeng nodded in agreement and said, "Could this snake attack the target as soon as the whistle blows?"
Chen Zhao smiled and didn't answer, but looked at Master Sun and asked, "Master Sun, what do you think about this?" '
Master Sun looked at the snake, his eyes became clear all of a sudden.
But then he lay down on the chair again and murmured: "You bring a snake, why don't you make it into snake soup and drink a glass of wine?"
Chen Zhao smiled and asked his opponent, "Tell him, where was this snake caught?"
His subordinates put down their plates, bowed their hands to everyone, and said: "Master Mu and Master Sun agreed to meet in a broken kiln in the south of the city. This poisonous snake is hidden in the kiln, and another person is waiting a hundred feet away with a whistle. Kill the man, and then kill the snake."
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
Taoist Mu invited Mr. Sun to the broken kiln outside the city today, and exchanged silver for news. What he did was not secretive. Anyone who is interested will know it after checking, which is enough to calmly prepare in advance.
Only Mr. Sun still didn't care, lying on the chair and muttering: "Without wine, what's the point of living!"It would be better to die! '
Chen Zhao ignored him, but looked at Lu Xiaofeng: "Hero Lu, do you think this big game between Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan is worth killing Master Sun?" '
"Of course not worth it."
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head.
A big gamble is nothing more than two underworld big brothers fighting with their own wealth, after all, it has little to do with other people.
There is absolutely no need to kill a bad old man who is drunk all day.
If he must be killed, it means that Master Sun must know something inside.
Thinking of this, everyone in the room looked at Master Sun together.
Master Sun sighed and said, "Why did Master Guan save my life?"
Chen Zhao looked at Master Sun, shook his head and said, "If you are an unknown person, even if you are killed, only the Shuntian Mansion will investigate and clear your case. But your Master Sun is a well-known figure in the world. Pay more attention, so the instinct can prevent problems before they happen."
"I saved you because you are a citizen of Daming, that's all."
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask: "Who wanted to kill him? Why did he want to kill him? Who sent the person who blew the whistle?"
Chen Zhao still looked at Mr. Sun: "Master Sun may know who wants to kill him, but Dazhi and Datong definitely know. Presumably the other party is too powerful, and Mr. Sun dare not say anything?"
This time, everyone in the room looked at Master Sun again.
Master Sun sighed: "Since Dazhi and Datong know, you can just ask them."
Chen Zhao smiled lightly, he was too lazy to play riddles with the other party, but looked at Lu Xiaofeng: "Does Hero Lu know where Ximen Chuuxue is?"
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head.
Chen Zhaodao: "According to information, Ximen Chuixue is from Jiangnan. His family opened a pastry shop in the capital 30 years ago. It is considered a time-honored shop in the capital. The shops on the street are not big, but inside they are unique."
"He became the owner of the pastry shop?" Lu Xiaofeng jumped up.
"That shop is outside the sea, and its name is He Fangzhai," Chen Zhao continued to say calmly.
Lu Xiaofeng took a deep breath and felt Chen Zhao's control over the capital.
A 30-year-old brand, an old family from decades ago, a pastry shop.
Who would have thought that the peerless swordsman Ximen Chuuxue was hiding there!
But even so, it is still under the control of Chen Zhao, the left servant of the Criminal Ministry!
This person is really terrifying!
"If you want to go, send me a message to Ximen Chuuxue." Chen Zhao continued.
"In today's world, the number one swordsman is Mu Daochang of Wudang Mountain, Ye Gucheng's frog in the well, his eyes can only see the sky at the four corners of the southeast palace, I hope Ximen Chuuxue can see the situation clearly, and don't participate in any sword god duel, it's just a cover !"
Chen Zhao said lightly.
It seems that he didn't notice Mu Taoist smiling wryly beside him.
"Master Chen, it's all for you to prevent the two of them from dueling in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Why do you want to involve the old Taoist? The old Taoist is over 70 years old, and he can't even hold his sword steadily. How can he have the strength to confront the two of them." Taoist Mu shook his head and smiled wryly, and said helplessly.
Chen Zhao smiled slightly: "The Daoist is a famous Wudang master, a senior expert, since he said that he can't hold a sword, don't you think that two swordsmen who were in the past have the nerve to compare swords with you?"
"Master Chen, you..., hahaha" Mu Taoist raised his head and laughed, "You officials are trying to trick us common people without even blinking an eye!"
"The Taoist priest is joking. I just want to use the Taoist priest's authority to calm the matter." Chen Zhao's tone was very calm.
"To be honest with Mr. Chen, Ping Dao is a martial artist. He has been looking forward to the shocking battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue for a long time. It is difficult for Ping Dao to calm down the battle. What's more, even if Chen My lord prevents the two from dueling at the top of the Forbidden City, they can fight again in another place, the so-called blocking is worse than sparse, why does lord Chen want to stop it?
Chen Zhao slowly shook his head: "The Taoist Master has misunderstood. His Majesty has issued a decree to allow the two of them to compete with each other on the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Of course I will not stop it."
"What, His Majesty agreed?"
Taoist Mu and Layman Gu Song were startled, when they looked at Lu Xiaofeng, they saw him nodding with a wry smile.
"It's interesting now!"
Gu Song layman murmured.
Chen Zhao ignored him, but looked at Taoist Mu: "Actually, I asked the Taoist priest to come here because Master Sun is here, and I happened to ask for something."
"My lord, please tell me. If the poor Taoist can help, I will do my best." Taoist Mu hurriedly said.
The implication is that if you can't help, don't ask me.
Chen Zhao smiled, and said: "I heard that Daoren Xiao Gu, the head of the Bashan Sword Sect, has an uncle named Longmeng Feishi, who is the owner of the 26th cave of Miaoren Mountain in Yunnan, and is also a hereditary chieftain. He is as strong as the Buddhist Dharma Protector Vajra. This person has an estranged relationship with Taoist Gu, but has an extremely close relationship with the Taoist Master. Am I right?"
As soon as these words came out, the pupils of Taoist Mu and Layman Gusong shrank at the same time!
The eyes of the turtle grandson opened wide in an instant!
But in an instant, the three of them returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Xiaofeng frowned slightly.
He clearly felt that the temperature in the room dropped suddenly.
But this thought was also fleeting, and he returned to normal, as if he didn't feel anything.
Taoist Mu said slowly: "My lord is really knowledgeable. Long Feishi is a poor friend for many years. This man has been in Tiannan for generations. He is more expensive than a prince. He is rich and honorable. No one in the world can match him. I don't know how he got into my lord's eyes." ?”
"Since the reign of Jingtai, there have been barbarian rebellions in the Tengxia area of Gui Province. This year, tens of thousands of people have gathered to rebel and endanger the people of Gui Province. Your Majesty intends to send troops to put them down. I think the dragons and lions are the Martial Saints of Tiannan, I have a good relationship with the head of Taoism, if I can help the court rebel, the court will definitely thank me, and I will also show my merits. I don’t know if the head is willing to help?"
Taoist Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Serving the country is an incumbent duty. The poor Taoist will write to Long Feishi right away, asking him to pay attention to this matter. If he is in time, he can come to the capital to talk about it."
"In time, the soldiers will go on an expedition, which involves a lot of things. I'm afraid they won't be able to march until next year. It won't delay the arrival of dragons, fierce lions and lions."
He paused and then said: "Speaking of which, the Jurchens in Jianzhou have repeatedly invaded the border, and the imperial court will definitely send troops to conquer it. If Lord Longdong is willing, I would like to go north with the army to conquer with him, and see if it is his hard Qigong It’s powerful, but my Overlord Fist is stronger.”
Layman Gu Song said with a smile: "My lord, the imperial court ordered an official, how can you move lightly? But I also heard that the martial arts of Long Feishi are most suitable for fighting in the battlefield. After listening to my lord's invitation, I might happily agree."
"That's good!" Chen Zhao nodded with a smile.
Taoist Mu and Jushi Gusong bid farewell to Chen Zhao and left.
The two of them originally wanted to ask Master Sun a lot of questions, but after such a twists and turns, the two of them had nothing to ask.
It seems that it is not only the decisive battle between these two swordsmen, but also the struggle between the imperial power and courtiers, and many strange actions of the martial arts lineage.
Two tigers are fighting each other, and others are watching around like hunters.
Who wins and who loses is actually irrelevant.
But Lu Xiaofeng had many questions for Chen Zhao.
"Master Chen is a young Jinshi, he has both martial arts and martial arts, and now he is a third-rank high-ranking official. How high is he, why do you have to make trouble with an honest monk?"
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help it, and asked.
After all, he was invited by the other party, so he kept this question in his heart. The man was afraid that he would offend someone, so he wanted to ask it.
Chen Zhao smiled, stretched out his hand to ask Lu Xiaofeng to sit down again, and said with a smile: "Whether a monk lies or not, I will never pay attention to it! But if his words cause chaos in the capital, countless heroes will be jealous, for fear that the other party will not To recover my gambling funds, I have to strike first. I'm afraid that when Daxia Lu arrives in the capital today, there will already be a crowd of people, all of whom are assassinating each other."
Lu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded.
The darkness and fear of human nature cannot be described in words!
Lu Xiaofeng has seen too many dark sides.
But he always remains optimistic about life.
He is a prodigal son, but he is also a gentleman, and he doesn't like death very much.
But he also understands that in the face of red-eyed gamblers who are about to lose, many people will be desperate.
If killing can save them from ruin, they will kill without hesitation.
Because dead people don’t ask for gambling debts!
"The honest monk disturbed the law and order in the capital because of a single sentence. As an official of the Ministry of Punishment, he would never allow such a thing to happen! So I will strangle him at the source immediately. The honest monk is just hitting the muzzle of the gun."
Chen Zhao said calmly, looked at Lu Xiaofeng, and continued: "Be prepared for a rainy day! Many things must be done beforehand, so the honest monk must be punished, even if it means destroying his martial arts, he will not hesitate."
Lu Xiaofeng let out a long sigh, but had nothing to say.
He and the honest monk are good friends, and if something happens to him, he is willing to do his best to help.
But right now, it doesn't seem appropriate.
Even if he wanted to play some conspiracy, such as holding Chen Zhao hostage and ordering him to let go of the honest monk, he never even thought about it.
Even if I thought about it, I wouldn't go deep into it.
Because the opponent is a peerless master.
"Forget it, I'd better go find Ximen Chuuxue!" This thought flashed in Lu Xiaofeng's mind.
……
Standing at the window, Chen Zhao watched these martial arts wondermen leave Xiangyun Residence, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
He has already made thoughtful arrangements for this drama, which has also changed the lives of many people. Now, he is just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
A duel between peerless swordsmen is related to a real civet cat exchange for a prince.
Such a whimsical regicide plan, no matter how thorough it is, how could it escape his grasp?
Just as I was thinking of this, someone suddenly reported outside the door: "Zhang Yingfeng, the senior brother of the Emei Sect's Three Heroes and Four Shows, was killed. There were almost no injuries on the body, only a little more blood on the throat. It looked like he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. That kind of bloodstain look."
(End of this chapter)
While Du Tongxuan was chatting and laughing, and after increasing the chips of both parties by nearly one million taels, a gust of wind blew through the window.
All the people in Chunhe Building suddenly smelled a strange fragrance of flowers, and then saw six girls carrying baskets full of yellow chrysanthemums, sprinkled them all the way, and spread the bright chrysanthemums into a tapestry on the stairs.
Then Ye Gucheng came up.
His face was very white, neither pale nor pale, but a lustrous and lustrous color like white jade.
His eyes were not pitch black, but they were terribly bright, like two cold stars.On his jet-black hair, he wore a crown of sandalwood beads, and his clothes were as white as snow.He walked very slowly, and when he came up, it was like a king walking into his court, or like a flying fairy from the sky, descending to the world.
Ye Gucheng's whole body seemed to be exuding a dazzling light, and everyone could tell that he definitely didn't look like an injured person.
He was not injured, so the honest monk really lied!
Everyone was looking at Ye Gucheng, and Ye Gucheng was staring at Lu Xiaofeng.
Because he felt that in the entire Chunhe Building, only Lu Xiaofeng was qualified to talk to him.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Gucheng's eyes suddenly moved away from his face, and he suddenly asked, "Which one is Tang Tianrong?"
When he was asking this sentence, his eyes were fixed on a person in the left corner.
This person—a face that was originally handsome, now seems to have suddenly turned stiff.
He has been sitting quietly in the corner all this time, very young, dressed in gorgeous clothes, but with a cruel expression like a carrion hawk in his eyes.
These eyes were also staring at Ye Gucheng, and he said in a word: "I am Tang Tianrong J"
The seven or eight tables of people sitting between him and Ye Gucheng suddenly dispersed and retreated to the corners on both sides.
Ye Gucheng said: "Do you know who I am?"
Tang Tianrong nodded.
Ye Gucheng said: "Are you wondering why I am still alive?"
The muscles at the corners of Tang Tianrong's mouth seemed to be twitching, and he said, "Who detoxified you?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's thoughts immediately changed.
It seems that the honest monk still did not lie.
It's the servants of the Ministry of Punishments who have acted recklessly and disregarded human lives!
Ye Gucheng was indeed injured, and he was indeed hit by the Tang family's arsenopyrite.But this kind of hidden poison weapon, which has been famous in the martial arts world for a long time, seems to have no effect on Ye Gucheng.
Who detoxified him?Everyone wanted Shi Gucheng to answer this question, but Ye Gucheng didn't answer, and said indifferently: "It's not poisonous, why detoxify?"
Tang Tianrong said: "It's not poisonous?"
Ye Gucheng said: "A little dust, what's the poison?"
Tang Tianrong's complexion changed, "The flying sand from our sect is just a speck of dust in your eyes?"
Ye Gucheng nodded.Tang Tianrong didn't speak anymore, but slowly stood up.He unbuttoned the gown, revealing a tight suit inside, two leopard leather pouches clinging to his left hip, and a pair of fishskin gloves on his belt.
The restaurant became silent again. Everyone wanted to leave, but they couldn't bear to leave.Everyone knows that right here, at this moment, a thrilling and fierce battle is about to begin.
Tang Tianrong took off his gown and put on his gloves.The fish skin glove flashed a strange blue light, and his face seemed to be pale blue as well.
Ye Gucheng stood quietly and watched. There was a boy in white behind him, holding a very elegant long sword with a black sheath.The sword is already in hand.
Tang Tianrong stared at the sword in his hand and suddenly said: "Who else thinks that the wide sand in our sect is just a bit of dust?"
Of course no I
Tang Tianrong said: "If someone else is involved, you'd better go downstairs, so as not to be accidentally injured!
Those who are reluctant to leave have no choice but to leave.The arsenopyrite of the Tang family is even more terrifying than the plague in the eyes of martial arts people, and no one wants to get a little bit of it.
Ye Gucheng suddenly said: "You don't have to go."
Tang Tianrong said: "No need?"
Ye Gucheng said calmly: "I guarantee that your flying sand will not be able to be used at all!" Tang Tianrong's expression changed again.
The horror of the hidden weapon of the Tang family's poison is not entirely due to the poison of the hidden weapon, but also because the Tang family's children are quick to attack!Even those who have seen them make moves with hidden weapons cannot describe the speed at which they make moves.But this time Tang Tianrong's hidden weapon really failed to make a move.With a move of his hand, the sword light flew up!
No one can describe the brilliance and brilliance of this sword, and no one can describe the speed of this sword!
It was not just a sword, but the wrath of Thor, a strike of lightning.
The sword light flashed and disappeared.
The people of Ye Gucheng have returned to flowers.Tang Tianrong was still standing there, without moving, his hands had dropped, and his face was already stiff.
Then everyone saw blood suddenly flowing out from under the bones of his left and right shoulders.Tears flowed down at the same time as the blood.
He knew that in his life, he would never be able to release a hidden weapon again.For the children of the Tang family, this kind of thing is even more terrible and cruel than death.
Now Ye Hucheng's eyes have returned to Lu Xiaofeng's face.
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but said: "Okay - let's go to Tianwai Kuanxian."
Ye Gucheng said: "That is a sword technique unparalleled in the world."
At this time, a very indifferent voice came: "Da Ming Law, there are people who hurt people in the street, one hundred battles, and ten days in prison. Ye Daxia is a close minister of the vassal king. Although he can be exonerated, he can't escape the law. Why not?" How about inviting Master Ye to the Criminal Department for a cup of tea?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Chunhe Building fell silent.
Ye Gucheng and Lu Xiaofeng were shocked.
They are existences at the pinnacle of martial arts, and in the entire Chunhe Building, falling leaves, flying flowers, wind and grass, can never escape their eyes and ears.
On this point, Ye Gucheng has a sharper perception than Lu Xiaofeng.
But until someone spoke, the two of them knew that a great master had appeared not far from them. Before that, even Ye Gucheng didn't have the slightest sense.
Ye Gucheng turned around slowly and looked at the person coming.
I saw a handsome young official in uniform, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Gucheng and saying: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land? I have checked the local chronicles of various places in the South China Sea, and I have never found that Feiye Island in the South China Sea belongs to Ye Gucheng." Is it owned by the clan, is it privately handed down by the southeast king? Isn’t that very good?”
After these words were spoken, the entire Chunhe Building became even more silent, and one could hear a needle drop!
He was chatting and laughing with Ye Gucheng in the street, his words were full of threats, and even the Southeast King didn't take him seriously. There was only one person in the entire capital!
The left servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zhao!
Ye Gucheng's eyes were like cold stars, pinned on Chen Zhao's face, and the highest vigilance rose in his heart!
Just yesterday, Monk Lao Shi was defeated by a move from a criminal officer, Chen Zhao's sworn brother, and it was rumored that he was defeated by magic.
According to intelligence, his sworn brother Li Chishui is a young swordsman from the Xiandu sect, so the skills he knows must have been obtained from Chen Zhao.
In other words, the Chen Zhao in front of him is not only a martial arts master, but also a magic master!
Then Ye Gucheng's plan to participate will be greatly hindered by this person!
Either eradicate him, or hide it from him!
This thought flashed through Ye Gucheng's mind quickly, but his face remained unmoved, and he said in his mouth, "But Chen Shilang is in person?"
Chen Zhaodao: "Yes!"
"Master Shi Lang doesn't know that the battle between me and the Tang Sect in the middle of Sichuan is a rural custom of the Ming Dynasty, which is in line with the world and is also allowed by the law of the Ming Dynasty!"
Ye Gucheng said slowly.
"What?" Chunhe and everyone upstairs fainted immediately!
Ye Gucheng is a peerless swordsman who comes out every 300 years, and he is as lonely as a cliff.
Coupled with the fact that his swordsmanship has reached perfection, he has nothing to ask for, and feels extremely cold and lonely at a high place. It can be said that he is a person who is extremely proud.
He doesn't care if he has friends or not, but he finds me boring because he has no rivals.
Such a person would never say words such as "country customs" or "human feelings."
But he just said it.
It is enough to show how much pressure Chen Zhao put on him!
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng and Li Yanbei looked at each other, feeling a chill at the same time.
It was as if an icy giant beast from Beiming came to Chunhe Tower and was named Chen Zhao.
But Chen Zhao in front of him smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Daxia Ye, your heart is confused! It seems that you are not sincere to the sword!"
Ye Gucheng's pupils closed suddenly, and he said, "You say I'm dishonest?"
Chen Zhao said indifferently: "If you are sincere in swords, you should know that neither you nor Ximen Chuuxue can compare to Taoist Mu in swordsmanship, so this contest is meaningless!"
Ye Gucheng's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Chen Zhao looked at him: "Your swordsmanship is still inferior to Taoist Mu, but you want to challenge Ximen Chuuxue because you expect that only Ximen Chuuxue will not refuse to fight you!"
Chen Zhao paused, and then said: "The way of the sword lies in being sincere and righteous to the sword. You dare not face up to Taoist Mu's swordsmanship. How can you reach the peak of swordsmanship? You are not sincere to the sword, and it is not worth talking about the sword. Since you don't Honestly, what’s the point of this debate?”
"So without further ado, let's invite Mr. Ye to the Criminal Department for a cup of tea!"
Chen Zhao said so, and made a gesture of invitation.
Having said that, he didn't even call him "Hero Ye".
Ye Gucheng narrowed his eyes again.
A trace of anger arose in his heart, and at the same time a powerful fighting spirit burst out.
Of course he could see that Chen Zhao, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, was by no means a simple person!
It's not as simple as Ouyang Qing and Guisunzi.
For now, it seems that he is determined to fight against himself.
Its purpose is just as he said, he hurt people in the street, was caught by the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, and punished himself according to the law of Ming Dynasty?
Of course this is an excuse!
How proud Ye Gucheng was, he understood the opponent's purpose in just a moment.
Chen Zhao claims to be the executor of the Ming Dynasty Law, so he naturally wants to stop all unrest factors. The so-called "chivalrous people use force to violate the forbidden law" is naturally something he will never allow!
Two peerless swordsmen are going to compete on the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Logically speaking, it should be within the scope of the Ouchi guards and the Jinyi guards.
But Chen Zhao did not hesitate to come out to deal with it.
To reflect his influence in the court and the arena.
So he wanted to stop himself.
Once he is brought to the Ministry of Punishment, the reputation of Baiyun City Lord Ye Gucheng will be ruined!
This duel has become a joke.
He is playing wishful thinking!
And Ye Gucheng also believed that since the other party dared to come here, it meant that his martial arts had reached an incredible level, and his skills were even more incomparable!
Maybe you can really defeat yourself, or even humiliate yourself like an honest monk!
But do you think there is nothing I can do?
Ye Gucheng sneered in his heart.
You and I discuss the king's law, that's great, I will also discuss the king's law with you!
Ye Gucheng smiled coldly: "Chen Shilang, do you also want to learn about the Flying Immortal?"
Chen Zhao smiled lightly: "Whatever sword move you want to use, you can use it. If you don't want to use it, it's up to you. You just need to go with me to the Ministry of Justice to have a cup of tea!"
"What if I don't go?"
"If you don't want to go, I will let you..."
"The imperial decree arrives..."
Suddenly a long shout interrupted Chen Zhao's words.
Chen Zhao frowned, looked up at Ye Gucheng, and immediately understood the opponent's back move.
Sure enough, amidst the sound of footsteps, an eunuch stepped up the stairs, looked at Chen Zhao, and said with his head held high: "Chen Shilang, Your Majesty has a decree that I want me to read it here for you to hear."
Before Chen Zhao could say anything, the eunuch said again: "You are all masters in the world, so there is no need to kneel down and listen."
Everyone had no intention of kneeling down to listen, but now they don't even need to cover up.
"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, Zhao said, I am overjoyed to hear that two peerless swordsmen are going to compete in the Hall of Supreme Harmony..."
The eunuch Yang Yang read a long article, in short, he allowed Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng to duel at the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Of course, the intention was to ask Chen Zhao not to stop him.
After the eunuch finished reading the decree, he immediately put away his lofty and worldly demeanor, nodded and bowed to Chen Zhao, and said, "Chen Shilang, this servant is ordered to deliver the decree, and please accept the decree."
Chen Zhao nodded, and after receiving the order, he glanced at Ye Gucheng and smiled: "Since Mr. Ye has the emperor's order to protect his body, the Ministry of Punishment can't interfere, but if one day the emperor's order no longer protects his body, then it won't It's easy to say!"
Since Ye Gucheng wants to seek death with all his heart, then just follow him!
After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Ye Gucheng, and turned to look at Lu Xiaofeng: "Daxia Lu, I ask Li Dalong's subordinates to tell you that if you come to the capital, please go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to speak. I have something to say to you. You must have received the message."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and nodded. Of course he knew the news and said, "I really don't know what Lu has committed. I would like to trouble you, Sir, to name him personally."
"It's nothing. I heard that Lu Daxia has the appearance of a detective. I want to invite you to discuss the situation in the capital. I think you will definitely not refuse!"
Lu Xiaofeng sighed and nodded with a wry smile.
Unlike Ye Gucheng, who has an imperial decree to protect his body, he naturally cannot refuse the call of the Ministry of Punishment.
After all, the opponent not only represents the law, but also has peerless martial arts.
If he didn't know what to do and ran away like an honest monk, I'm afraid some stone lions would turn into live lions and attack him.
Although Lu Xiaofeng was not afraid of anything, it was better not to cause any trouble.
After all, the opponent is the legal department of the Ming Dynasty.
More importantly, when the other party asked him to discuss the situation in the capital, it seemed that Lu Xiaofeng's itch was suddenly touched!
……
Chen Zhao did not take Lu Xiaofeng to the Ministry of Justice, but asked him to get on the carriage and asked the driver to go to Xiangyunju.
"Xiangyunju is an industry controlled by me as Uncle Zhongyong. The last time Lu Daxia came to the capital, you haven't been there yet, right?"
On the carriage, Chen Zhao said with a smile.
"Lu has heard about it, and I've heard it from Li Yanbei." Lu Xiaofeng admitted with a nod.
"I've already invited that Elder Sun to wait at Xiangyun Residence. After we arrive, we can discuss together."
Chen Zhao said.
"Master Sun? Master Gui Sunzi?" Lu Xiaofeng was startled and asked hastily.
"Yes, it is said that Taoist Mu and Layman Gu Song are also looking for him, but since I invited him first, he must be with me."
Chen Zhao said with a smile, "But I also informed Taoist Mu that if they want to inquire, they can go to Xiangyun Residence and wait together."
Lu Xiaofeng sighed and stopped talking, he found that the other party seemed to know everything and dealt with it very calmly.
It seems that everything is easy to solve.
"Could it be that he is Dazhi or Datong?" This idea popped up in Lu Xiaofeng's mind, which shocked him.
But then the thought was driven away.
With Chen Zhao's wealth and status, he doesn't need it at all, and he doesn't bother to do great wisdom, or Datong!
A dignified young scholar, a high-ranking official in the court, has a lot of ways to make money, so naturally he doesn't have to go through all kinds of hardships to dig into caves and put on mysteries.
"But having said that, he invited Mr. Guisunzi, Taoist Mu, Layman Gusong, and me to talk in Xiangyun Residence. What is the reason?"
When Lu Xiaofeng was thinking in his heart, Xiangyun Residence had already arrived.
When the two arrived at Xiangyun Residence, Taoist Mu and Layman Gusong were already waiting at the gate of Xiangyun Residence.
Taoist Mu has silver-white hair all over his head, but he is wearing a tattered Taoist robe, which seems to have not been washed for many years, and behind him is a thin, well-groomed old man, who is Layman Gusong.
Taoist Mu couldn't help laughing when he saw Feng and Lu, he stepped forward and said, "Pindao has met Mr. Chen."
Chen Zhao quickly supported Mu Taoist and said with a smile: "Taoist Master, you're welcome!" '
"Although the poor Taoist is an outsider, he will naturally salute when he sees a high-ranking official!" Taoist Mu laughed. Although his words were modest, he was very satisfied with Chen Zhao's attitude.
Facing a senior Wudang master like Mu Daoren, Chen Zhao didn't try out martial arts at all.
Speaking of which, although the other party is a tycoon, he is also a tycoon within the Wudang Sect. He has also recruited a group of evil thieves to serve as thugs, but his ultimate goal is to kill them after they are used up.
It's okay to say that!
Therefore, there is no conflict between Chen Zhao and Mu Daoren, the hero.
"The Daoist is a famous Wudang master, a disciple of Emperor Zhenwu. The Ming court from Emperor Taizu down, the emperors and ministers of all dynasties respect Wudang Daoist, Mu Daoist is even more outstanding, I dare not accept the ceremony."
Chen Zhao replied with a smile, nodded to the layman Gu Song, then pointed at Lu Xiaofeng and said: "This great hero Lu Xiaofeng, the two seniors must be very familiar with him!"
Taoist Mu nodded with a smile, looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said:
"You are indeed here, I knew you would come!"
Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to smile too, and said: "I also know that you will definitely come."
The wooden Taoist laughed.Although this Wudang elder is nearly seventy years old, he is still full of rosy face and full of energy, and he is unrecognizable in the world. Few people can tell that he is one of the three most famous swordsmen in the contemporary era.
He laughed loudly and said, "Of course I don't want to miss this battle. Even if I'm really too old to walk, I still have to crawl."
Lu Xiaofeng said lightly: "Do you want to see if there are any flaws in their swordsmanship, and fight with them again?"
Taoist Mu was not angry either, but he sighed and said: "I am old, I don't want to fight swords or drink with others anymore, if someone asks me to play chess, I am willing to accompany them."
Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Chen Zhao and remembered what he just said in Chunhe Building.
This Shilang Chen believed that Mu Daocai was the best swordsman in the world. He not only stirred up dissension, but also had real intentions.
Chen Zhao naturally understood Lu Xiaofeng's eyes and said with a smile: "To be honest with Taoist Master, I just met Ye Gucheng and told him that I believe that Taoist Master Mu is the best swordsman in the world, and the second and third ranked ones are It's really funny to fight a duel between swordsmen today!"
Taoist Mu was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I'm getting old! It's useless."
Several people chatted and laughed as they entered Xiangyun Residence and arrived at the room that Chen Zhao had booked.
The turtle grandson is waiting inside.
Just a little drunk.
Although Master Sun could no longer stand up, fortunately he could still sit up.
Now he was sitting upright in the chair in the room, his eyes straight, glaring at Chen Zhao, Lu Xiaofeng, Mu Daoren and others who were looking at him, and said: "Even if this official is in a hurry to find those two old men, Monster, you should at least have a drink with me first."
Chen Zhao said with a smile: "I don't want to find Datong, nor do I want to find Dazhi, as long as you are here."
"Oh? Without them, who would you ask questions to?"
"What's wrong with the world? I just don't want you to be assassinated."
Chen Zhao smiled lightly, then patted his palms lightly.
Immediately someone came in from the outside, holding a plate in his hand.
There is a snake on the plate.
Red snake.
It's just a dead snake.
And beside the dead snake, there is a whistle.
Chen Zhao said: "What do you think of this snake?"
Taoist Mu pondered, "It looks like this is a strictly trained red snake."
Lu Xiaofeng nodded in agreement and said, "Could this snake attack the target as soon as the whistle blows?"
Chen Zhao smiled and didn't answer, but looked at Master Sun and asked, "Master Sun, what do you think about this?" '
Master Sun looked at the snake, his eyes became clear all of a sudden.
But then he lay down on the chair again and murmured: "You bring a snake, why don't you make it into snake soup and drink a glass of wine?"
Chen Zhao smiled and asked his opponent, "Tell him, where was this snake caught?"
His subordinates put down their plates, bowed their hands to everyone, and said: "Master Mu and Master Sun agreed to meet in a broken kiln in the south of the city. This poisonous snake is hidden in the kiln, and another person is waiting a hundred feet away with a whistle. Kill the man, and then kill the snake."
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
Taoist Mu invited Mr. Sun to the broken kiln outside the city today, and exchanged silver for news. What he did was not secretive. Anyone who is interested will know it after checking, which is enough to calmly prepare in advance.
Only Mr. Sun still didn't care, lying on the chair and muttering: "Without wine, what's the point of living!"It would be better to die! '
Chen Zhao ignored him, but looked at Lu Xiaofeng: "Hero Lu, do you think this big game between Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan is worth killing Master Sun?" '
"Of course not worth it."
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head.
A big gamble is nothing more than two underworld big brothers fighting with their own wealth, after all, it has little to do with other people.
There is absolutely no need to kill a bad old man who is drunk all day.
If he must be killed, it means that Master Sun must know something inside.
Thinking of this, everyone in the room looked at Master Sun together.
Master Sun sighed and said, "Why did Master Guan save my life?"
Chen Zhao looked at Master Sun, shook his head and said, "If you are an unknown person, even if you are killed, only the Shuntian Mansion will investigate and clear your case. But your Master Sun is a well-known figure in the world. Pay more attention, so the instinct can prevent problems before they happen."
"I saved you because you are a citizen of Daming, that's all."
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask: "Who wanted to kill him? Why did he want to kill him? Who sent the person who blew the whistle?"
Chen Zhao still looked at Mr. Sun: "Master Sun may know who wants to kill him, but Dazhi and Datong definitely know. Presumably the other party is too powerful, and Mr. Sun dare not say anything?"
This time, everyone in the room looked at Master Sun again.
Master Sun sighed: "Since Dazhi and Datong know, you can just ask them."
Chen Zhao smiled lightly, he was too lazy to play riddles with the other party, but looked at Lu Xiaofeng: "Does Hero Lu know where Ximen Chuuxue is?"
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head.
Chen Zhaodao: "According to information, Ximen Chuixue is from Jiangnan. His family opened a pastry shop in the capital 30 years ago. It is considered a time-honored shop in the capital. The shops on the street are not big, but inside they are unique."
"He became the owner of the pastry shop?" Lu Xiaofeng jumped up.
"That shop is outside the sea, and its name is He Fangzhai," Chen Zhao continued to say calmly.
Lu Xiaofeng took a deep breath and felt Chen Zhao's control over the capital.
A 30-year-old brand, an old family from decades ago, a pastry shop.
Who would have thought that the peerless swordsman Ximen Chuuxue was hiding there!
But even so, it is still under the control of Chen Zhao, the left servant of the Criminal Ministry!
This person is really terrifying!
"If you want to go, send me a message to Ximen Chuuxue." Chen Zhao continued.
"In today's world, the number one swordsman is Mu Daochang of Wudang Mountain, Ye Gucheng's frog in the well, his eyes can only see the sky at the four corners of the southeast palace, I hope Ximen Chuuxue can see the situation clearly, and don't participate in any sword god duel, it's just a cover !"
Chen Zhao said lightly.
It seems that he didn't notice Mu Taoist smiling wryly beside him.
"Master Chen, it's all for you to prevent the two of them from dueling in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Why do you want to involve the old Taoist? The old Taoist is over 70 years old, and he can't even hold his sword steadily. How can he have the strength to confront the two of them." Taoist Mu shook his head and smiled wryly, and said helplessly.
Chen Zhao smiled slightly: "The Daoist is a famous Wudang master, a senior expert, since he said that he can't hold a sword, don't you think that two swordsmen who were in the past have the nerve to compare swords with you?"
"Master Chen, you..., hahaha" Mu Taoist raised his head and laughed, "You officials are trying to trick us common people without even blinking an eye!"
"The Taoist priest is joking. I just want to use the Taoist priest's authority to calm the matter." Chen Zhao's tone was very calm.
"To be honest with Mr. Chen, Ping Dao is a martial artist. He has been looking forward to the shocking battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue for a long time. It is difficult for Ping Dao to calm down the battle. What's more, even if Chen My lord prevents the two from dueling at the top of the Forbidden City, they can fight again in another place, the so-called blocking is worse than sparse, why does lord Chen want to stop it?
Chen Zhao slowly shook his head: "The Taoist Master has misunderstood. His Majesty has issued a decree to allow the two of them to compete with each other on the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Of course I will not stop it."
"What, His Majesty agreed?"
Taoist Mu and Layman Gu Song were startled, when they looked at Lu Xiaofeng, they saw him nodding with a wry smile.
"It's interesting now!"
Gu Song layman murmured.
Chen Zhao ignored him, but looked at Taoist Mu: "Actually, I asked the Taoist priest to come here because Master Sun is here, and I happened to ask for something."
"My lord, please tell me. If the poor Taoist can help, I will do my best." Taoist Mu hurriedly said.
The implication is that if you can't help, don't ask me.
Chen Zhao smiled, and said: "I heard that Daoren Xiao Gu, the head of the Bashan Sword Sect, has an uncle named Longmeng Feishi, who is the owner of the 26th cave of Miaoren Mountain in Yunnan, and is also a hereditary chieftain. He is as strong as the Buddhist Dharma Protector Vajra. This person has an estranged relationship with Taoist Gu, but has an extremely close relationship with the Taoist Master. Am I right?"
As soon as these words came out, the pupils of Taoist Mu and Layman Gusong shrank at the same time!
The eyes of the turtle grandson opened wide in an instant!
But in an instant, the three of them returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Xiaofeng frowned slightly.
He clearly felt that the temperature in the room dropped suddenly.
But this thought was also fleeting, and he returned to normal, as if he didn't feel anything.
Taoist Mu said slowly: "My lord is really knowledgeable. Long Feishi is a poor friend for many years. This man has been in Tiannan for generations. He is more expensive than a prince. He is rich and honorable. No one in the world can match him. I don't know how he got into my lord's eyes." ?”
"Since the reign of Jingtai, there have been barbarian rebellions in the Tengxia area of Gui Province. This year, tens of thousands of people have gathered to rebel and endanger the people of Gui Province. Your Majesty intends to send troops to put them down. I think the dragons and lions are the Martial Saints of Tiannan, I have a good relationship with the head of Taoism, if I can help the court rebel, the court will definitely thank me, and I will also show my merits. I don’t know if the head is willing to help?"
Taoist Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Serving the country is an incumbent duty. The poor Taoist will write to Long Feishi right away, asking him to pay attention to this matter. If he is in time, he can come to the capital to talk about it."
"In time, the soldiers will go on an expedition, which involves a lot of things. I'm afraid they won't be able to march until next year. It won't delay the arrival of dragons, fierce lions and lions."
He paused and then said: "Speaking of which, the Jurchens in Jianzhou have repeatedly invaded the border, and the imperial court will definitely send troops to conquer it. If Lord Longdong is willing, I would like to go north with the army to conquer with him, and see if it is his hard Qigong It’s powerful, but my Overlord Fist is stronger.”
Layman Gu Song said with a smile: "My lord, the imperial court ordered an official, how can you move lightly? But I also heard that the martial arts of Long Feishi are most suitable for fighting in the battlefield. After listening to my lord's invitation, I might happily agree."
"That's good!" Chen Zhao nodded with a smile.
Taoist Mu and Jushi Gusong bid farewell to Chen Zhao and left.
The two of them originally wanted to ask Master Sun a lot of questions, but after such a twists and turns, the two of them had nothing to ask.
It seems that it is not only the decisive battle between these two swordsmen, but also the struggle between the imperial power and courtiers, and many strange actions of the martial arts lineage.
Two tigers are fighting each other, and others are watching around like hunters.
Who wins and who loses is actually irrelevant.
But Lu Xiaofeng had many questions for Chen Zhao.
"Master Chen is a young Jinshi, he has both martial arts and martial arts, and now he is a third-rank high-ranking official. How high is he, why do you have to make trouble with an honest monk?"
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help it, and asked.
After all, he was invited by the other party, so he kept this question in his heart. The man was afraid that he would offend someone, so he wanted to ask it.
Chen Zhao smiled, stretched out his hand to ask Lu Xiaofeng to sit down again, and said with a smile: "Whether a monk lies or not, I will never pay attention to it! But if his words cause chaos in the capital, countless heroes will be jealous, for fear that the other party will not To recover my gambling funds, I have to strike first. I'm afraid that when Daxia Lu arrives in the capital today, there will already be a crowd of people, all of whom are assassinating each other."
Lu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded.
The darkness and fear of human nature cannot be described in words!
Lu Xiaofeng has seen too many dark sides.
But he always remains optimistic about life.
He is a prodigal son, but he is also a gentleman, and he doesn't like death very much.
But he also understands that in the face of red-eyed gamblers who are about to lose, many people will be desperate.
If killing can save them from ruin, they will kill without hesitation.
Because dead people don’t ask for gambling debts!
"The honest monk disturbed the law and order in the capital because of a single sentence. As an official of the Ministry of Punishment, he would never allow such a thing to happen! So I will strangle him at the source immediately. The honest monk is just hitting the muzzle of the gun."
Chen Zhao said calmly, looked at Lu Xiaofeng, and continued: "Be prepared for a rainy day! Many things must be done beforehand, so the honest monk must be punished, even if it means destroying his martial arts, he will not hesitate."
Lu Xiaofeng let out a long sigh, but had nothing to say.
He and the honest monk are good friends, and if something happens to him, he is willing to do his best to help.
But right now, it doesn't seem appropriate.
Even if he wanted to play some conspiracy, such as holding Chen Zhao hostage and ordering him to let go of the honest monk, he never even thought about it.
Even if I thought about it, I wouldn't go deep into it.
Because the opponent is a peerless master.
"Forget it, I'd better go find Ximen Chuuxue!" This thought flashed in Lu Xiaofeng's mind.
……
Standing at the window, Chen Zhao watched these martial arts wondermen leave Xiangyun Residence, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
He has already made thoughtful arrangements for this drama, which has also changed the lives of many people. Now, he is just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
A duel between peerless swordsmen is related to a real civet cat exchange for a prince.
Such a whimsical regicide plan, no matter how thorough it is, how could it escape his grasp?
Just as I was thinking of this, someone suddenly reported outside the door: "Zhang Yingfeng, the senior brother of the Emei Sect's Three Heroes and Four Shows, was killed. There were almost no injuries on the body, only a little more blood on the throat. It looked like he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. That kind of bloodstain look."
