Nine swords

After listening to Uncle Mu's words, Ye Gucheng stood on the spot in a daze, beyond shock—this, this proposal is really, really tempting!This housekeeper is indeed "conscientious". Not only does he have to manage the finances, recruit troops, but also deal with the various needs of a perverted master. He even has to care about the master's mental illness, and help the master prepare the dowry... Don't be so forceful, Ye Gucheng is about to kneel to him!

However, Ye Gucheng forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, resisted the huge temptation of "cooperating with the housekeeper to evacuate all Gong Jiu's money", and thought about it carefully...but unexpectedly Thinking about it, Ye Gucheng became more and more frightened. After a while, he calmed down calmly, looked at Uncle Mu indifferently, and said coldly: "You shouldn't have come to me behind his back. Destroying his plan will only make him die faster!"

Although Ye Gucheng is indeed very keen on Gong Jiu's property and money, he is not the kind of person who can't distinguish between priorities - although the housekeeper's proposal seems to be for the good of Gong Jiu, it is also very beneficial to Ye Gucheng. But in fact, this kind of behavior of "holding back" in the name of "I'm for your own good" is the most terrifying: Looking at the past and future, I don't know how many "villains" fell to the backs of confidants or subordinates. Under the lover's "smartness"... these villains are either wise, powerful, capable, and ambitious, but they are overwhelmed by the "loyalty" and "love" of some "pig-like teammates". Killed, it's really hard to think about it!

Gong Jiu is undoubtedly very smart and powerful, and his rebellion plan is almost seamless—and Ye Gucheng knows all about the accident and coincidence that he died at the hands of Lu Xiaofeng and Sha Man... That being the case, why did Ye Gucheng do the stupid thing of "picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon"? Ye Gucheng remembers the promise of "Half of the world is you" clearly, so instead of trusting others, it is better to trust Gong Jiu: Ye Gucheng is neither stupid nor slow, it has been such a long time, Gong Whether Jiu was sincere or false to him, wouldn't he be able to detect it?What's more, in the past, Ye Gucheng was often shocked by Gong Jiu's arrangements and strategies and secretly guarded against it, but now that their relationship has deepened, Ye Gucheng suspects that Gong Jiu's "original" fate is so tragic, Could it be that he was held back by "teammates like pigs"? !

When Ye Gucheng figured this out, the excitement in his heart was gone, on the contrary, he suddenly felt a lot of defensiveness, he stared at Uncle Mu coldly, and drew his sword to face each other if there was any disagreement the meaning of.

Uncle Mu didn't feel guilty at all, instead he nodded in relief and said, "What City Lord Ye said is true, with the words of City Lord, I can go to work for the young master with peace of mind. Please also let City Lord Don't worry, I will never dare to delay the important affairs of the young master; and the conversation tonight also convinced me that with the help of the city lord, the young master's great cause will definitely be more profitable."

As soon as Uncle Mu said these words, the almost frozen atmosphere between the two eased up again. These few words clearly indicated that Uncle Mu was trying to test Ye Gucheng before, but Ye Gucheng didn't fully believe what Uncle Mu said at this time. , he didn't answer in silence, but he thought to himself: If you want to know what this Uncle Mu is up to, the best way is to tell Gong Jiu all their conversations tonight-Gong Jiu is sure to his subordinates There is a set of strict control methods, as long as they check each other, they will know what Uncle Mu is up to.

Uncle Mu is also worthy of being "a man who grows old". He seemed to see Ye Gucheng's thoughts, smiled lightly, and said: "The city lord still has doubts about me, so you can go to the young master to prove it. My loyalty to the young master The world can learn from it, and it is by no means inferior to the friendship between the city lord and the young master." He said these words half-jokingly, but he became serious again, and said: "However, what I said before about the princess is indeed true, and I still look forward to the city. The Lord is cautious. This matter is the son's heart demon, once it is exposed, it is really no small matter."

At this time, Ye Gucheng's doubts about Uncle Mu finally subsided again, because he already knew the past affairs of the princess clearly, so he naturally understood how much this incident had affected Gong Jiu, so he nodded slightly and said: "This matter I make my own decision, you don't need to say more."

Uncle Mu left the yard with a satisfied expression on his face. Before leaving, he told Ye Gucheng: The previous token is extremely effective and can mobilize almost all of Gong Jiu's forces, so if Gong Jiu no longer wants to go back, That Ye Gucheng must be kept and used properly.

It wasn't until this moment that Ye Gucheng was finally sure. It seems that the reason why Uncle Mu wanted to talk to him so much tonight was because he was afraid that he would "hold back" Gong Jiu... This Uncle Mu is really a beast. Old fox, Ye Gucheng thought with emotion: with just a few words, Uncle Mu not only figured out Ye Gucheng's attitude towards Gong Jiu, expressed his loyalty to Gong Jiu and his goodwill towards Ye Gucheng, but also expressed his goodwill towards Ye Gucheng, and also expressed his love for Ye Gucheng. The hot potato of the death of the princess was left to Ye Gucheng to worry about—he really is a "treacherous and cunning"!

So many things happened today, Ye Gucheng couldn't sleep anyway, and with his martial arts cultivation, it didn't matter if he didn't sleep for a day, so Ye Gucheng simply wandered around on the deserted streets.

Ye Gucheng sighed for the world of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and left the courtyard leisurely, walking under the soft moonlight without a trace of fireworks—it was already late at night, even if he was on the opposite side The hustle and bustle of the Wanfang Pavilion has gradually stopped: the men and women who came here have already done "what they should do". As for those who are still doing it, they are probably extraordinary human beings...

Ye Gucheng, who doesn't sleep at night, is probably an extraordinary human being. Anyway, after such a toss, Ye Gucheng has no choice but to face up to his own heart—that is, he does have unusual feelings for Gong Jiu. .Ye Gucheng was really worried when Gong Jiu swallowed the sugar-fried chestnuts before, and even now he really wants to kill Aunt Gongsun... This already explains everything.

If you have feelings, you have feelings, they are all big men, what is there to be twitchy... Ye Gucheng thought calmly, in this case, just find a time to "cook raw rice to mature rice" and forget it. He has "recommended himself as a pillow seat" so many times, and when the next time comes, he will...Huh?What the hell is he thinking? !

Ye Gucheng shook his head with a secret smile, then turned his head slightly, but just happened to see a person walking out of a dark alley in a daze.

"Lu Xiaofeng?" Could this be the legendary "Protagonist Theorem"?

The listless Lu Xiaofeng raised his head and shouted: "Master Ye!"

"..." Ye Gucheng was speechless: He didn't just like in the original book, he didn't just call the Flying Immortal to the sky as soon as he met, Lu Xiaofeng saw him, why should he be surprised, hum!

But Lu Xiaofeng was obviously surprised and pleasantly surprised - when anyone encounters difficulties, if they can meet a good friend, that would be something to be happy about.

But after a while, the joy on Lu Xiaofeng's face slowly faded again, he seemed to have thought of something, he walked up to Ye Gucheng with a little hesitation, and asked hesitantly: "Since City Lord Ye is here, what is Gong Jiu?" Isn't it nearby?"

Ye Gucheng replied calmly: "Yes."

Lu Xiaofeng gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth again, and finally said with a tragic grin: "Then please take me to see him, City Master Ye, I'm afraid this matter has reached the point where I can't do without him..."

Ye Gucheng already had a guess about Lu Xiaofeng's current situation in his heart, but he still asked, "Can't you do it tomorrow?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head vigorously, and said sternly: "No, waiting a moment longer is life-threatening!"

Ye Gucheng finally nodded in agreement, and said slowly: "I can take you to see him right away, but he is bedridden, so don't make too much noise."

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened: "Gong Jiu was injured again?!" When he said these words, Lu Xiaofeng's expression became extremely strange, and the way he looked at Ye Gucheng at this moment... seemed to be saying : It turns out that you, you, you are a well-dressed bird.Beast!

"..." Ye Gucheng twitched his eyebrows, and said with a sneer: "You think it's me?!"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head again and again, hastily denied it, smiled obsequiously, nodded and bowed.But his "egg pain" entanglement has betrayed him: Lu Xiaofeng clearly feels that with Gong Jiu's ability, there is no one else in the world who can make Gong Jiu "over and over again" except Ye Gucheng. Seriously injured in bed?Alas, it's really not easy for Gong Jiu, who made him fall in love with Ye Gucheng... It would be strange not to be poked out dozens of holes in this life!

Ye Gucheng brought Lu Xiaofeng back to the dilapidated courtyard with a cold face, and once again gained Lu Xiaofeng's eyes on "birds and beasts". It wasn't until they entered the secret room that Ye Gucheng found something in Lu Xiaofeng's suddenly enlightened expression. Consolation——Lu Xiaofeng, widen your eyes and see clearly: Qin.Beast your sister ah poultry.beast!Brother is clearly a normal person, Gong Jiu is the pervert, okay? !

However, Lu Xiaofeng obviously continued to misunderstand Ye Gucheng. He saw the "dying" Gong Jiu on the soft couch, and couldn't help but walk towards the couch lightly, and said sympathetically, "Brother Nine, did you get hit by the sword again?" What kind of perseverance does Gong Jiu have to persevere in pursuing Baiyun City Lord? He admires him so much that he wants to call him "Brother Jiu".

Gong Jiu blinked slowly, looked at Lu Xiaofeng who "came to condolences", and then at Ye Gucheng who was full of frost, sighed softly, and said: "Fate is so hard, what can I do... Brother Lu, why did you come here this time?"

With tears in his eyes, Lu Xiaofeng stepped forward and held Gong Jiu's hand tightly, saying: "Brother Jiu, we are really hard brothers!"

Ye Gucheng gritted his teeth and thought: brother, brother, sister!Lu Xiaofeng's skin is really itchy, it seems that it's really impossible not to give him a trick of Flying Immortal from Beyond the Sky!

Gong Jiu smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Lu, don't worry, just sit down and talk slowly." He pointed to the chair not far from the soft couch, then looked at Ye Gucheng, and called affectionately: "Acheng..." He patted the edge of the soft couch, signaling Ye Gucheng to come and sit down.

"..." Lu Xiaofeng looked at it so much that he wanted to poke his eyes out: This is really a pot with a cover, his sympathy for Gong Jiu is simply a waste of emotion!Co-authoring is fun!

Under the gaze of Lu Xiaofeng's "sluggish" eyes, Ye Gucheng walked over calmly, sat on the soft couch, and thought to himself: Brother Lu Xiaoji dared to "presumably" brother, his jaw would drop in shock, hum !

After a long while, Lu Xiaofeng lifted his chin up silently and put it back in place, then slowly began to talk about his bitter "investigation history" during this period with "snot and tears".

It turned out that during this period of time, Lu Xiaofeng had basically determined that the Embroidered Thief was a woman wearing red shoes, and according to various clues, Lu Xiaofeng judged that this woman should be his good friend Snake King's enemy——Gongsun Aunt.

The Snake King is the boss of all the gangsters in the southeast area. The gray area where Gong Jiu is now is actually the territory of the Snake King. Easily offend the Snake King.So, one can imagine how well-informed the Snake King will be.

According to the Snake King, Aunt Gongsun was originally named Gongsun Lan. It is said that she is the descendant of Aunt Gongsun, who was the No.1 person in the Chuyong Jiaofang in the previous dynasty and "moved all directions with a sword dance", so everyone also calls her Aunt Gongsun.

Although the title of Aunt Gongsun is not well-known in the world, what surprised Lu Xiaofeng was that the Snake King told him that Aunt Gongsun had used many other names—definitely famous names: such as female butcher, Peach Blossom Bee, Five Poison Lady, Ecstasy Granny and so on.In fact, it also includes Grandma Xiong... Grandma Xiong's sugar-fried chestnuts have claimed the lives of many people, and the secret that Aunt Gongsun is Grandma Xiong was only found out after Lu Xiaofeng went to the West Garden for an appointment.

Xue Bing was taken away, Lu Xiaofeng was very anxious, and could only hope to find a woman wearing red shoes in the West Garden, that is, Aunt Gongsun.But when Lu Xiaofeng arrived at the West Garden, after searching around for a long time, he only saw a few corpses of beggars in a remote corner, and some chestnuts fried in sugar were scattered beside the corpses... Then Lu Xiaofeng met Jin Jiuling and learned that Aunt Gongsun is the one who sells candied and fried chestnuts. I don’t know why she left early.

"Adding fuel to the fire" Jin Jiuling took Lu Xiaofeng to the place where Xue Bing "last appeared" and found Xue Bing's skirt.At that time, Lu Xiaofeng's heart was already sinking, but when he returned to the Snake King's small building, he found that the Snake King had been strangled to death with a bright red ribbon!Lu Xiaofeng, who had suffered friends being killed and lovers missing one after another, was completely furious this time, and he vowed to make Aunt Gongsun pay with blood!

But helplessly, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't find Aunt Gongsun, and even the Snake King died, so his clues were cut off.Therefore, at this time, Lu Xiaofeng held Gong Jiu's hand tightly, stared at him with burning eyes, and said, "Ninth Brother, last time you said that you knew the Embroidered Thief, that is, Aunt Gongsun, so please give me your hand." Shall I show you a clear way?"

After listening to Lu Xiaofeng's long words and "begging", Gong Jiu finally laughed, but his face was very pale, and he could only hear him say quietly: "Lu Xiaofeng, do you know why I am lying on the ground? here?"

Lu Xiaofeng was startled for a while, then gave a light "cough", and said awkwardly: "This... This is the love between you and City Lord Ye, Brother Ninth, I don't want to talk about it as an outsider."
