Nine swords

Gong Jiu smiled gently and said: "Boss Huo, please be calm and don't be impatient. Although you are no longer the manager of Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, you can be my manager. I will certainly be able to afford the price Boss Yan asks you."

Huo Tianqing stared at Gong Jiu, and said seriously: "Not everyone can invite me, Mr. Jiu, please forgive me, if you were not with City Lord Ye and met Lu Xiaofeng, I would not have come here at all. ..."

Ye Gucheng sat upright without looking sideways, as if everything was inattentive, but in fact he was trying not to let the corners of his mouth twitch - Huo Tianqing's words were really straightforward, in other words: What Ninth Young Master?Where did it come from, I've never heard of it... If Gong Jiu hadn't borrowed the light of Ye Gucheng and Lu Xiaofeng, Huo Tianqing would have "disdained" to see him!

Ye Gucheng gloated and thought to himself: Gong Jiu finally tasted the bitter fruit of "low-key".

Gong Jiu sighed softly, with a slightly regretful expression, smiled helplessly, and said: "It seems that there are troubles if you hide too deeply..." Gong Jiu slightly shook his head and said: "Since that's the case, here and now we There is nothing to say between them, but I still appreciate you very much, maybe one day you will understand that the best choice is to follow me."

Huo Tianqing pursed his lips, cupped his hands stiffly and said, "Then thank you, Young Master Ninth, for your love." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Huo Tianqing," Gong Jiu stopped him, and said flatly: "As the descendant of the old man Tianqin, this is a background that many people can't ask for, but you are not proud of it, on the contrary, you hate it the most. Your father’s reputation.” Huo Tianqing turned his head abruptly, stared at Gong Jiu fiercely, Gong Jiu remained unmoved, and continued to pretend to be profound: “So you want to do big things, big things with great vigor, and it just so happens that I also want to do it."

Huo Tianqing sneered, "You think you know everything?"

Gong Jiu raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Making great things is just one of your pursuits." He stopped talking, but stretched out his hand to pick a grape from the table and ate it.

Huo Tianqing snorted, and said: "Young Master Ninth's news is quite well-informed, but it's useless to pretend to be mysterious in front of me. What other pursuits do I have, why don't I even know about it?"

"Woman," Gong Jiu half-closed his eyes, smiled ambiguously, and said softly: "A beautiful and intelligent woman, you love her, love her very much, and love her more than your life." Suddenly he tapped the beat on the stone table with his fingers, imitating the melody of a lady in spring, and sang with a pinch of her voice: "Seeing the saying, there is no way back for the grass in the end of the world..."

Ye Gucheng shuddered: It's not that Gong Jiu sang badly, but that he sang too well, probably even better than actors and singers—Gong Jiu is indeed a genius in heaven, he can learn everything at once meeting.But the problem is that he was clearly talking, and suddenly a female voice sang something, can you stop being so weird!

But Huo Tianqing's expression suddenly changed, the veins on his fists were bulging, and he almost wanted to make a move!However, he glanced at the stone table suddenly, stared blankly, then looked at Ye Gucheng who was sitting on the side, as if he was resting with his eyes closed, took a few deep breaths, finally calmed down his anger, and suppressed the turmoil in his heart , asked seriously and earnestly: "What exactly does Jiu Gongzi want?"

Gong Jiu stretched out his hand, made a gesture of "please" politely, and said with a smile: "Today and this is the end, I am injured, I have to lie down to see guests, it is really rude, please forgive me Brother Huo Don't take offense at my admiration for you. Let's talk in detail when Brother Huo comes next time."

Huo Tianqing was startled and suspicious, and said, "Next time?"

Gong Jiu raised the corners of his mouth mysteriously, and said with a smile: "Brother Huo, please think about the 'little-known' Mr. Jiu before making any decisions, then the 'next time' between me and you will never be very happy." Far……"

Huo Tianqing left, he was straightforward when he came, but hesitant when he left.

It was already dark, and lanterns had been lit around the courtyard at some point, reflecting the shadows of the flower and grass pavilions.

Gong Jiu's face was also reflected in a blurry way. At this time, he lay on the soft couch, closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and covered the wound with his hands, looking very tired and weak , arouse sympathy.

But Ye Gucheng pondered for a moment, then glanced at the stone table again, and suddenly had a guess: Gong Jiu asked him to accompany him not to intimidate Huo Tianqing by taking advantage of the reputation of Baiyun City Lord, but as if he wanted Ye Gucheng to stay with him. Let's take a look at Gong Jiu's skills and methods in Gucheng...

What is on the stone table?There are fruits, chess boards, teapots and cups... and finger marks, clear finger marks: Just now, when Gong Jiu beat the beat, his movements were light, delicate and silent. It seemed that he was just doing it, but In fact, he printed his finger marks on the hard stone table!

Gong Jiu's injury is only an external injury. Although a heavy external injury will cause pain and weakness, it will not weaken his internal strength.

Ye Gucheng believed that even if he was not around, if Huo Tianqing dared to attack Gong Jiu, he would probably be dead by now.

What's more, even if Ye Gucheng is not around, would Huo Tianqing dare to do it?He dare not, absolutely not.Ye Gucheng didn't realize it until this time, why did Gong Jiufang sing the song, it should be said, why did he sing that line - just because the line "Seeing the Tao, Tianya Fangcao has no return" corresponds to it, isn't it Is it "Don't you see, Yuhuan Feiyan is all dust"?The "Feiyan" here does not only refer to a queen who was good at dancing... Obviously, it also refers to Huo Tianqing's sweetheart, Shangguan Feiyan!

The original meaning of the three characters "All Dust" is to lament that the beauty is easy to be old, but when Gong Jiu sang it, it was a blatant threat!But Huo Tianqing never dared to act rashly, he didn't know the details of Gong Jiu, let alone the relationship between Gong Jiu and Shangguan Feiyan, so he had no choice but to leave - because Gong Jiu told him to go.

After trying to understand the truth, Ye Gucheng suddenly stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

Gong Jiu suddenly opened his eyes, stood up shaking with his hands on the table, and asked weakly: "It's getting late, where is the city lord going?" Gong Jiu suddenly had a bad guess in his heart .

Ye Gucheng didn't answer and continued walking.

Gong Jiu paused, and couldn't help but said: "It is said that tonight, the Ximen Villa of Wanmei Villa will mainly compete with the Dugu head of the Emei Sect."

Ye Gucheng stopped in his tracks, turned his head slightly, and said, "Not bad."

Gong Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and he smirked and said, "City Lord, is this...going to watch the battle?"

Ye Gucheng nodded slightly and said, "Naturally."

Gong Jiu's smile became even more fake, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to say some routines to delay the time: "Both of them are masters of sword use, and the city master is the saint of swords. It's normal, but it's a pity that I have limited mobility and can't go with me."

Ye Gucheng looked at Gong Jiu indifferently, expressed an attitude of "it doesn't matter whether you go or not", and said, "It's okay, I'll go on my own." After saying that, he turned around and continued walking.

Gong Jiu asked persistently: "According to what the city lord sees, who should be the winner?" When he asked this question, it almost seemed like he was gnashing his teeth.

Ye Gucheng kept walking, without looking back, and said indifferently: "Fair battle, life and death." He went out and walked into the night.

Gong Jiu stared deeply at Ye Gucheng's disappearing back, with a hint of anger in his eyes, gritted his teeth and sneered, talking to himself, saying: "If this battle is really fair, Ximen Chuuxue will die!" He laughed a few times, then stretched out his hand to pick up a grape, and crushed it violently. The purple juice splashed and sprinkled on the hard-to-buy white bear skin. It was as red as blood.

On the other side, in the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, Dugu Yihe was standing quietly in front of Yan Tieshan's spiritual tablet, motionless.He was a tall and serious man, with a straight waist, and his needle-like beard and hair were still pitch black, but the wrinkles on his face were already numerous and deep.It is only when you see his face that you feel that he is a dying old man.

No matter how powerful a person is, he can't beat the time, because people will always grow old.Yan Tieshan lay inside the coffin, and Dugu Yihe stood silently outside the coffin, with a desolate and sad expression on his face.

Is he nostalgic for the death of an old man, or is something hurting his kind?

Dugu Yihe, head of Emei, was originally named Yan Duhe, Yan Tieshan, owner of Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, was originally named Yan Liben, and Huo Xiu, the mysterious "richest man in the world", was originally named Shangguanmu. All three of them are former ministers of the Jinpeng Dynasty.

After the fall of the Jinpeng Dynasty, the three of them were ordered to leave alone, and they came to Central Earth together with the jewelry wealth in the inner treasury.Since then, they have taken root in Middle-earth, each occupying a dominant position, and they have all achieved great fame.

The three of them are elite ministers of the Jinpeng Dynasty, so naturally they each have their own abilities and extraordinary abilities.

But in fact, they have been preparing for each other, hoping to revive the old country one day.It's a pity...it's a pity that this wish can't be realized, because the little prince who fled with his uncle Shangguan Jin is also the last King Jinpeng. He is a poet like Queen Li, and a poet like Song Huizong. A painter, he has been known as the "three masters of poetry, calligraphy and painting" since he was a child-such a person, his nature is naturally calm, and he doesn't care too much about the gain or loss of the throne, he just wants to enjoy poetry and wine, Lived his life peacefully... So instead of coming to the three of them to conspire with the three of them, the little prince hid in Tibet, unwilling to shoulder the burden of restoring the country. No matter how famous they are, there is nothing they can do , because without this little prince, even if they fight back, they will come out of nowhere.

So they continued to struggle, with more and more money, more and more martial arts, and more and more fame. Since then, they have never mentioned the old story of the Jinpeng Dynasty.

But what Dugu Yihe didn't expect was that Yan Tieshan had died of "vendetta" just because he was only one step late - and beside Lu Xiaofeng, there was a woman who called herself Princess Danfeng: she had hatred in her heart, I want to seek justice from the three of them... What justice?They have never lost to Jinpeng Dynasty at all!

Dugu Yihe guessed that this woman was a liar. In the past, there were some liars who claimed to be descendants of the Jinpeng Dynasty, and used this to extort money from them. This time, the liars were just more clever - because she found Lu Xiaofeng, The nosy Lu Xiaofeng took advantage of him.

Dugu Yihe wanted to explain things clearly, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't come, it was Ximen Chuuxue who came.

A few days ago, Ximen Chuuxue killed Su Shaoying, and Su Shaoying was Dugu Yihe's lover. In any case, in this situation, they had to fight, and they could only fight.

This night, there was a sword aura soaring to the sky, and an icy wind; in such a wind, hot blood dripped from the sword tip, and would soon be dried up.
