Lord of Demons

"Xiaoxue doesn't know the relationship between us." Lu Yunxi looked at Zhou Zhiruo, and continued: "He only has one friend, Lu Xiaofeng, who was pulled out by Lu Xiaofeng a few days ago to help kill the head of Dugu. Xiaoxue has always only had swords in her eyes. I didn’t understand anything, and I went into a madness again and retreated, so..."

He paused, and then said: "Xiaoxue will not die, and neither will Ye Gucheng."

Zhou Zhiruo's face turned cold: "So you are trading Gucheng's life with me?"

"If you think it's not enough, Lu Xiaofeng can use it to share your worries. After all, these things are all related to him." As for pulling Lu Xiaofeng out to take the blame, Lu Yunxi said that he has no pressure at all, "Emei School is not only one Dugu Yihe, the younger generation also It's not just three talents and four talents."

Zhou Zhiruo looked at him deeply for a while before saying, "Okay."

The relationship between her and Dugu Yihe can't be said to be very deep. Dugu Yihe belongs to the Emei School with a lot of dedication to art, and is much older than Zhou Zhiruo.But Ye Gucheng is almost the same as the one she saw growing up since she was a child, and of course she is more intimate.It was only because of her responsibility to Emei that she would attack Ximen Chuuxue.

Now, Zhou Zhiruo would of course agree to exchange Ximen Chuuxue, which she couldn't kill, for the safety of her apprentice.What's more, the meaning of Lu Yunxi's words is that there will be some sympathy for the Emei faction in the future, so it would be really stupid not to agree at this time.

What's more... Zhou Zhiruo recalled some of the rumors she heard in the capital today, and she added: "That's all. If Ximen Chuuxue wants to do other things, I won't agree."

Lu Yunxi didn't think too much about him, and responded casually: "Let him handle what he wants to do."

Lu Yunxi was very happy with Zhou Zhiruo's choice.After all, after so many years, Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts has reached a certain level, if she insists on avenging Dugu Yihe, she will also need to worry about it.

"Have you been overseas all these years?" The business matter was settled amicably, and the next step was to reminisce about the old days. Lu Yunxi was still very interested in whether Zhou Zhiruo had found Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min.

"Not bad." Zhou Zhiruo looked at him, "Are you married?"

"No." He and Yu Luosha have been together for so many years and have not yet officially married, it seems that this matter is really going to be put on the agenda.

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly said, "No wonder Ximen Chuuxue takes her mother's surname."

"..." Lu Yunxi felt that the three words "follow mother's surname" went straight to his heart.He took a deep breath and changed the subject silently: "Why did Ye Gucheng get involved with King Pingnan? Although I have only met him twice, I can tell that Ye Gucheng and Xiaoxue are the same kind of people. Some ridiculous reasons to rebel."

Zhou Zhiruo didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Do you still remember the time when Hu Weiyong's party was wiped out by Zhu Yuanzhang with bloody means?"

"Remember." Not only did he remember, he was one of the participants.

"Gucheng's mother is Hu Weiyong's adopted daughter. She ran to the sea alone, encountered a storm, and was accidentally rescued by the then Lord Baiyun to Feixian Island." Zhou Zhiruo said, "Later she married Lord Ye and gave birth to Gucheng. That's why she survived."

"So, the reason why Ye Gucheng helped Pingnan King's usurpation is for revenge?" Lu Yunxi understood, it seems that Ye Gucheng's involvement in the rebellion incident was rounded up in this way in this world.He knew that Hu Weiyong had a righteous daughter whom he loved in every way, but before Zhu Yuanzhang took down Hu Weiyong's party, he heard that she was missing. Zhu Yuanzhang once thought that Hu Weiyong knew something, but it turned out that it was just a coincidence.

Zhou Zhiruo nodded and said: "I picked up Gucheng on the beach of Feixian Island. He was only four years old at that time. He never said who his parents were. Instead, he wanted to learn swords from me until the people from the City Lord's Mansion came. Find him."

"Found it?" Listening to Zhou Zhiruo's narration, Lu Yunxi was a little surprised. Even his son Xiaoxue had no record of running away from home when he was a child. Ye Gucheng, who had a heavier burden than Ximen Chuuxue, was actually so rebellious?

"He ran out of the city lord's mansion by himself at the time." Zhou Zhiruo said, "His mother looked very gentle and virtuous, but after half a year after I became his master, I accidentally discovered that his mother would repeat the same thing over and over every night late at night. Let Gucheng remember Hu Weiyong's blood feud. So I gave him the sword and stayed in Baiyun City."

Lu Yunxi asked suspiciously: "The previous Baiyun City Lord didn't find out?"

"Of course he found out, but in his heart, Gucheng and the whole Feixian Island are not as important as his wife." Zhou Zhiruo snorted coldly, "Gucheng is getting more and more silent, almost putting all his energy on the way of swordsmanship. He is the child with the best aptitude I have ever seen, especially in the way of swordsmanship. I think I can't compare with him. When Gucheng was 12 years old and he first completed the swordsmanship, I received the news that the Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea was alive. She is the granddaughter of the owner of Peach Blossom Island more than a hundred years ago, so I can't ignore it."

"Dongxie Huang Yaoshi's Peach Blossom Island?" Lu Yunxi's heart moved. The timeline of the Shooting the Condor Trilogy is going down. Since Guo Jing and Huang Rong were able to leave the Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Knife, why can't Huang Yaoshi's Peach Blossom Island? What about staying?

Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and said, "It's just false news. The owner of that island tricked the masters in the rivers and lakes away, and then they couldn't leave that island anymore. I went a few days late and rescued people around that island. One person, he just said 'scam, don't go' and died."

"I have investigated this island for several months, but found nothing. The owner of the island is far superior in martial arts than me. He seems to have suddenly arisen to build power. Suddenly one day, the so-called island owner brought those Jianghu people who entered the island to hunt for treasure. Come out, at this time those Jianghu people have become his subordinates."

"I went back to Emei secretly, but unfortunately I still didn't find anything. After a few years, when I entered Baiyun City again, Gucheng's father had passed away, and his mother committed suicide on the same day. At that time, Gucheng was not yet weak. , Baiyun City accounts for more than [-]% of the goods trade in the South China Sea, and it is regarded as a piece of fat at this time. Gucheng defeated the provocative Jianghu masters who came to the island in a row, and became famous in one battle."

Speaking of this, she sighed again: "It was only later that I found out that Gucheng's mother made him swear a poisonous oath before she died, that she must kill the emperor, otherwise his parents would never rest in the ground, even if he couldn't, It is also necessary for future generations to continue. But the current emperor is so talented and powerful, and you are escorted by Mingjiao. If you assassinate him, let’s not say whether it will succeed. If it succeeds, the world will be catastrophe. The reason why he chose Pingnan Wang, I'm afraid it also means relief."

On the quest interface, the quest "Secret of Ye Gucheng" was displayed as completed, and Lu Yunxi received the reward special treasure box in a good mood.

"I understand what you mean." Lu Yunxi completed the task so easily, and he was in a good mood, "Don't worry, even if you don't say this, I won't watch your apprentice die." to that category.

Lu Yunxi's promises are very rare, but everything he promised will be fulfilled.Zhou Zhiruo knew this very well, so she said with confidence: "I'll go back and look at the lonely city, and I'll go find you after the decisive battle tomorrow night."

"Alright."

After Zhou Zhiruo left, Lu Yunxi thought about the information she had revealed just now for a while, and combined with the novels he had read in the few days back to modern times and the materials borrowed by his senior sister, he vaguely guessed who the owner of the island was.

A pair of arms suddenly emerged from behind, hugging him fiercely, as if they wanted to rub him into the body with such force that they would never separate.

"Yunxi..."

A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Lu Yunxi leaned on his back chest obediently: "Are you all ready?"

"We haven't seen each other for so long, and Yunxi is still thinking about other things?" Yu Luocha complained half-truthfully, and then lightly bit Lu Yunxi's earlobe, "Do you miss me?"

Lu Yunxi admitted straightforwardly: "I miss you very much."

This time Yu Luosha was stunned, he had never heard the words "I miss you" so directly from his sweetheart, and suddenly he was hit by surprise, this kind of love Do you want to feel so cool?

Feeling that Yu Luocha's body stiffened for a moment, the guilt in Lu Yunxi's heart was deepened again. He seriously reflected on how he had been with Yu Luocha for so many years, and made the other party so...insecure?

"I'm sorry." Lu Yunxi said softly, "I left you behind for 20 years."

Yu Luocha's breath became a little hurried, and he whispered in Lu Yunxi's ear: "I want to make up."

"...Let's go back first."

Yu Luocha directly picked up the person, used his lightness skills, and returned to Hefangzhai as quickly as possible.

Then...the two of them rolled into bed naturally.

A night of spring supper.

Waking up early the next morning, Lu Yunxi finally remembered to ask a question: "How did you find me yesterday?"

With a satisfied look on her face, Yu Luocha rubbed the corner of Lu Yunxi's mouth lightly, and then replied: "Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai flew towards that direction, and I followed."

...So Lovebirds can also make a guest appearance on the radar?Lu Yunxi pushed the people beside him outside: "Tonight is Xiaoxue's decisive battle, we still need some arrangements, what happened to the matter I asked you to check?"

Yu Luocha climbed up a little dissatisfied: "Baiyun City has been in contact with a certain force in the East China Sea in the past few years, and the contact has been more frequent recently. After the news of "the present world", it seems that it suddenly appeared. They not only contacted Baiyun City, but also had contacts with King Pingnan and other Central Plains forces. The most they contacted were some inconspicuous small forces. Even so , it can be concealed for a few years, and it cannot be underestimated. And... I suspect that their master is the same person who plotted against us at Guangmingding a few days ago."
