Sealing Sword

34 years ago, Gu Zheng was sentenced to Ling Chi because of his involvement in the Qin Gong case, his subordinate Lve Yingwei was abolished, and all members were expelled from Tianjing.

Lve Yingwei was not liked by the late emperor, and Gu Zheng made the late emperor feel like a thorn in his throat. The fundamental reason was that he could not master such a force.

The late emperor's conduct was flawed, and his means were far inferior to that of his ancestor, so Gu Zheng, who once obeyed his advice, has disobeyed his orders several times since his ascension to the throne, and the transfer of personnel has gradually moved away from the emperor's control.

In a flash of surprise, the root of abandoning the rivers and lakes and entering the temple lies in the family and the country, not the emperor.

Gaozu is a virtuous person, so the direction of his heart is what Lve Ying's blade pointed at, but the late emperor could not get such a wholehearted and honest entrustment.

Gu Zheng knew that this move was suspected of playing power, but he could not safely hand over Lve Ying to the late emperor. Even though he was just the commander of the dark guards and had no comment on the affairs of the court, he still held the knife tightly in his hand and did not let it change. Become a lethal weapon.

But in this way, for the first emperor, Lve Yingwei changed from the blade of the emperor to a sharp knife hanging over the head of the emperor.

People in high positions never allow threatening people and things to go beyond their control. This is true in rivers and lakes, and even more so in temples.

From dissatisfaction to murderous intent, he finally waited for the Qin Gong case, a big wave that could shock the government and the public, but Gu Zheng not only did not retreat bravely, but also went forward head-on, and was finally smashed to pieces.

The first emperor thought he had kicked a stumbling block, and the prince's party behind the scenes also thought he could reap the benefits.

But none of them got what they wanted.

As the leader of Lve Ying, Gu Zheng started in troubled times and acted in treacherous circumstances. His mental experience is not comparable to that of the straightforward and stubborn Qin Hebai. As early as the first emperor came to the throne, he had already expected this ending.

However, the situation at that time was complicated, not to mention external aggression, internal worries alone were lingering fears, from the stupidity of the first emperor to the disputes between the princes, there were many factions in the court fighting openly and secretly, under the seemingly stable appearance, there was a hidden crisis that could be overturned at any time.

Gu Zheng had An Yu as a way out, so he wouldn't have ended up like that, but he couldn't and didn't want to.

Gao Zu entrusted him on his deathbed, rebellious dormant waiting, he can go for a while, can he go for a lifetime?

What's more, if he left, what would happen to those Lve Ying guards who tied their wealth and life to him?

Besides, once he entered the court, it was as deep as the sea, and it was not easy for him to withdraw from the cusp of the storm. If he was not careful, he would also involve An Yu, and he would be uprooted and severed.

To preserve An Yu and keep Lve Ying from being in a desperate situation, the only way is to break through and stand up.

Gu Zheng did not leave in the end, but sent some of his cronies back to Jianghu through crisis-ridden missions.When the great changes happened later, Lve Shadow Guard seemed to be destroyed in one fell swoop, but in fact it was just a shell that was hollowed out.

Only Gu Zheng himself buried all these secrets in his heart, and in the end he was dripping with blood under the palace gate, leaving only a proud body standing upright in the wind and rain, marking the first ending for Jing Hong Lie Ying.

When those interested in discovering that those Lve Ying Guards who had been exiled from Tianjing were just peripheral subordinates, the real core members had disappeared under the waves of the Jianghu, leaving only an indistinct muddy water.

Gu Zheng's death marked the end of a generation of shockers, but it also planted variables for the future.

At that time, Liu Mianying, who was in charge of Dark Feather, was Gu Zheng's confidante in the early years, and also his lifelong friend. Although she had a charming appearance, she was even more murderous and ruthless.It is said that "the small hermit hides in the mountains, and the big hermit hides in the city", so after Gu Zheng left, Liu Mianying took An Yu and the others to hide in the streets and streets of the city, and the gangster who licked blood from the knife's edge returned to appearing like a ghost. Ordinary people secretly restrain and manage this hidden force, waiting for the day when Gu Zheng returns to the arena.

However, she didn't wait for him to retire after all, only a bad news and an orphan who bears a deep hatred.

At that time, Gu Yaofang only lost her father's support in her daughter's best years, but the words Gu Zheng left her told her not to miss important things because of personal grudges.

Gu Zheng said that he deserved to die, but Gu Huafang couldn't help it for a long time.

But although she has a heroic temperament, she is not reckless after all. After all, she obeyed Gu Zheng's last words, and with the help of Liu Mianying, she integrated Lve Ying's surviving troops and arranged them to stay dormant in the rivers and lakes in an orderly manner, while she became a single-handed target stand on the bright side.

She makes her home all over the world, rides her horses to the ends of the earth, builds her strength by fighting, and lives with a knife. She intentionally or unintentionally separates herself from Lve Ying in the eyes of others, and pulls off the appearance of being helpless, so that Lve Ying in the dark can take the opportunity to recuperate and recuperate. Looking for an opportunity to disappear in the eyes of the world, go back to the mountains, let Jing Hong go away, and get a chance to breathe safely for more than ten years.

It's a pity that she didn't grow old safely in the end.

Ye Fusheng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the fleeting tears disappeared, and he only calmed down, and said: "Ten years ago, thank you for your help, so that I can find out the truth and avoid making wedding dresses for others. Even more risky to help me get rid of my hatred... There is no way to repay this kindness, and if there is a trust in the future, I will never dare to resign."

"You are the sword master of Jinghong, and you are in charge of commanding Lve Ying and An Yu. It is our duty to do things for you, so what can we thank you for?" Ying Xiu looked at his face, "But you have to be careful in everything. I have cut off contact for many years, if I hadn't encountered troubles and was eager to search for clues, I'm afraid I wouldn't even set foot in the door of the gambling house... Gu Xiao, do you treat An Yu as an outsider and refuse to admit it, or is Commander Lve Ying used to being a court eagle? The rivers and lakes can no longer accommodate you?"

Her words were aggressive and merciless, and her eyes were stained with unconcealable anger.

I used to think that the ends of the earth will finally meet, but in the end the old people meet and don't know each other.

Liu Mianying died of illness as early as 20 years ago, and her disciple Jiang Muxue took over Lve Ying. In the early years, she had a friendship with Gu Yufang and Jin Lan, which is why she helped Gu Xiao a lot during the Tianjing Incident ten years ago.Yingxiu is Jiang Muxue's disciple. In the past few years, Jiang Muxue has gradually aged and started to decentralize power. She has taken over the Mingzhu Gambling Workshop, an important force in the dark feathers. , hiding her fangs under the painted skin, she hasn't shown her sharpness like this for a long time.

But towards Ye Fusheng, she would always feel uncontrollable resentment and unwillingness.

Yingxiu looked at Ye Fusheng, and said word by word: "Gu Xiao, I really didn't accept you at the beginning. I felt that I grew up under the dark feathers. Is there anything I can't handle this force better than you? I worked hard to climb up High position, but Master wants you to come back to take charge of Dark Feather wholeheartedly. It is reasonable and reasonable for me to be unwilling... But ten years ago, during the Tianjing Incident, you advanced and retreated decisively, and I am ashamed of myself. After working hard for ten years, I dare to wait for you to return for ten years and give up your position."

After a pause, her injured finger brushed the corner of her mouth, stained with a line of bright red, like a bloodthirsty ghost.

"But you came back, but you don't want to recognize each other... If I hadn't noticed your lightness knife skills and tore off your face scarf, I'm afraid I would just send you off as a stranger after you leave." Ying Xiu lowered her eyes, His left hand clenched into a fist, "Gu Xiao, since you're here, make your confession clear, otherwise I'll take someone and tie you up to see Master, or...you'll kill me and break up with An Yu from now on!"

Ye Fusheng remained silent, Yingxiu looked at his face, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"After the martial arts conference, if I'm still here... I'll go with you to see Aunt Xue." Ye Fusheng raised his eyes, "But there's no need to mention the matter of taking over An Yu."

Ying Xiu frowned: "Why?"

"There are two reasons." Ye Fusheng put the knife back into the sheath, "First, An Yu is no longer comparable to what it used to be, and how many of its root systems will be difficult to adjust for a while if someone else takes over. It's an eventful time now, if something goes wrong, The consequences are unimaginable, and besides, your ability and means are no less than mine, An Yu must be more suitable in your hands than mine."

Ying Xiu still looked unkind: "You are just shirking."

Ye Fusheng shrugged: "Secondly, the iron law of An Yu is 'only enter the rivers and lakes and not go to court', so I am not qualified to take over An Yu."

Ying Xiu's face turned cold: "As far as I know, after the battle of Jinghan Pass, the little emperor has arranged for a new Lve Ying commander."

"But do you believe that he doesn't know that I'm still alive?" Ye Fusheng twitched his lips, "Escaping from the dead, you can't hide it from the barbarians and border guards, but you can't fool Lve Yingwei, and naturally you can't fool him either. .”

After a pause, Ye Fusheng said: "Ziyu let me live. I haven't contacted him so far. It's because of the 13-year teacher-student relationship and my hard work for him. The last ray of mercy, but the emperor is the most ruthless." No one can guarantee that he won't go back on his word one day? If you were in his position, would you let me go completely?"

Yingxiu was silent for a moment: "I will drain the last of your value, and then see if you pose a threat to me. If so, I will kill you."

"You are still like this, let alone he is an emperor?" Ye Fusheng spread his hands, "Only if I don't hold great power and don't get fame and fortune, can I reassure him and keep you from being targeted by him... Don't forget, although Lve Ying It is controlled by Jinghong, but it is also the Blade of the Son of Heaven, now that I let go of it, Ziyu knows how to use it well, and he will definitely live up to this edge."

Yingxiu wanted to say something, but found that she had nothing to say.

Her tense body slowly relaxed, her hands stretched out her fingers, her red lips pursed into a sword edge slowly curved into a familiar arc, and when she raised her head again, she was that charming girl with full sleeves again.

Ye Fusheng turned around and swung the knife out of its sheath. After two clangs, the iron chain broke, and the fainted monk fell down, and he was firmly caught in his hand.

"Thank you for your help, we will see you soon."

Dragging the monk, Ye Fusheng passed her by, and just as he was about to step out of the iron gate, Ying Xiu grabbed his right hand hanging by his side.

A low and hoarse female voice came from behind him: "Gu Xiao, aside from Lve Ying and An Yu, is there nothing to say between you and me?"

Yingxiu grabbed his hand and said word by word: "Look back at me, I will wait for you for another ten years, and I will not be afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire. I will accompany you through the journey together."

The corners of her eyes were stained crimson from tears, and she was already a stunning beauty, but now she was even weaker.As proud as a sleeve, even if he committed himself to Zuichunlou for the mission, he is also generous and outstanding, and he is rarely so vulnerable.

It was as if she had tied her whole body to the end of the thread of love, but unfortunately the person she was looking at was never moved.

Ye Fusheng has a romantic temperament, especially treating women with gentleness and courtesy.Normally, he would be happy to look at such a beauty a few more times, but now that Ying Xiu is behind him so affectionately, he never looks back, and only pulls out that hand.

"Life is short, and time is too short, especially for women, ten years... is too long." He turned his back to Yingxiu, and shook his head gently, "Yingxiu, you are in full bloom, full of talent and beauty, why bother to give up your beauty?" The years are wasted on me?"

Ying Xiu bit her lip: "Since I'm so good, why don't you want to?"

"because……"

Hearing her words, Ye Fusheng couldn't help but ask himself, Yingxiu is a woman he knew ten years ago, and she has gone through adversity and life and death with him, and she has never changed her mind. If others are afraid of getting what they want, why is he not willing? ?

Searching his mind, thinking wildly in his mind, Ye Fusheng suddenly saw a handsome and fierce face, his mind was a little dazed, and he blurted out a sentence without thinking about it: "Because, you are not him."

No matter how weak the water is for three thousand, I only take a scoop to drink.Traveling across the sea and seeing all the clouds rise, it is nothing but embarrassing autumn water and the clouds have gone (Note).

You have thousands of good things, but it's a pity that it's not what I want.

When Ye Fusheng said these words, Yingxiu's hands froze in the air, and he himself stood still on the spot.

A sentence that I didn't think about carefully, but it seemed to be circling thousands of times in the fog of my mind, until now I finally broke through the barrier and saw the sun.

His whole body was shaken, as if a thunder had exploded in his heart, and he trembled from the inside out for a moment.

Ye Fusheng subconsciously curled up the tooth marks on the index finger of his right hand, and rubbed the pulp of his fingers lightly. The wound was obviously healed, but at this moment, there was a series of pain and itching.

Pain is the sharp pain when the bruises are torn apart, and itching is the commotion after the wounds are gently soothed.

With five flavors in his heart, Ye Fusheng's heart beat wildly.

The origin and extinction of a thought, and the emotion between two hearts.

How many past events, accompanied by the gurgling water, have flowed from 13 years ago to the present, and those years that only felt long and unbearable when they came, have passed by in a blink of an eye, and washed away the accumulated rotten soil in the heart, leaving only one Years of seeds finally took root on the other side.

The branches and leaves are scattered, the pistils are blooming, and in a blink of an eye, a ray of quiet feelings drifts across thousands of mountains and rivers with the wind. I wonder if Yiren can smell the fragrance and know him?
