Ruyi Jue

Chongping Pavilion.

At [-] o'clock, Gongye got up early in the morning. After washing up, he changed into a green robe and went downstairs slowly.

Because he is getting old, he doesn't like to stay in bed, and he has been studying martial arts all year round. He got up early to practice, and he was the earliest one in the whole inn. There was a burst of "rustling" sweeping the floor.

The sky was still gray, and the waiter on the first floor, who was sweeping the courtyard and yawning profusely, immediately changed into a smiling face when he saw him, and said with a courteous smile: "Guest officer, did you sleep well yesterday?"

Gong Yeming clasped his hands and said, "The beds in the shop are slept very carefully, making me sleep very comfortably. Thank you brother for your concern."

"Be polite, be polite." The waiter responded with a smile.Because he paid money readily, was kind, and never put on airs, he was well liked by everyone in the shop.

Gong Yeming greeted him with a smile, went to the backyard for morning exercises, and then sat back in the lobby to continue talking with the waiter who was busy cleaning the tables.

After pouring a cup of tea, it wasn't long before the sky was completely bright, and people in the inn woke up one after another and went downstairs. He liked quietness and didn't want to be in contact with people, so he asked the waiter in the inn to bring things directly to him when someone came to him, and went straight up. Went upstairs to the room.

Since the day when he made an appointment to meet his nephew, he no longer went to the palace to be on duty, but changed his previous identity in Zizai City and lived in Chongping Pavilion.In fact, he has been staying in this inn, other than inquiring about Shen Xingzhou's whereabouts, the more reason is to wait for news from Shen Yufeng.

Although he is an old acquaintance of the Shen family in name, but to put it bluntly, if there is no such relationship as Bai Muhua, he has no so-called friendship with the Shen family. Therefore, as an outsider, he can only inquire about Shen Xingzhou's affairs. Tell the truth to the Shen family.

As for how to do it at that time, it still depends on Shen Yufeng's own thoughts. As an uncle, he can only play an assisting role at most, and cannot intervene more.

He had just returned to the room and changed out of his robe that was covered in flying dust and sweat, when he heard the shop waiter knock on the door frame: "Guest officer, here is a big brother who wants to see you by name."

Shen Yufeng is the only person who knows that he lives here and knows his name. Could it be that his nephew finally got some news and came to him?

Gong Yeming replied: "Okay, let him in."

The shop waiter led a young man dressed in black as a dark guard to come in. The young man saluted him, bowed and said, "I have seen you, senior."

"Master Shen sent a young man to tell Senior that the person you are looking for has been found."

Gongyeming was overjoyed: "Oh, my nephew has found someone so quickly?"

Liu Hong said: "Yes, Master Shen said, he has a good plan to be near the palace, but it is difficult to completely subdue him with his kung fu, you need to rush to join him, and work together to capture him and bring him back to Ruyi Shanzhuang or Duanzhou."

Gong Yeming nodded and said, "Okay, where is it?"

"Tomorrow at Shenshi, we will meet in Chunfeng Lane outside the palace."

"Okay." Gong Yeming nodded repeatedly, "I will definitely be there."

When the news of Liuhong arrived, he no longer missed it, bid farewell and left.

Leaving him to sit alone in the side room, he sighed: "Oh, I hope I can really find Brother Shen this time, and when he returns to Duanzhou, I can feel at ease..."

When it came to Shenshi the next day, he took a long sword for personal use, and without taking anything, he set off directly to the direction of the palace.

On Chunfeng Lane on the south side of Wangfu, on both sides of the long street are all Chu Pavilion brothels, with red sleeves flaunting, beauties leaning on the buildings, and the air is filled with sweet and greasy powder smell all the year round. Once the spring breeze passes, it blows for a radius of ten miles. Indulge in the fun, "full of spring breeze", so it took the name of "spring breeze" with a double meaning.Because of this, many flower houses gathered here, and benefactors fought for the favor of Pomeranians all the year round, so few people paid attention to the sound of fighting near Chunfeng Lane.

Logically speaking, the sixth prince has a noble status, and because the palace occupies a high-level mansion, it should not have built noisy and dirty brothels nearby, but it is said that these brothels have a deep background and mysterious origins, and even the sixth prince participated in it , these brothels can be safely stationed in the hinterland of the capital.

When Gong Yeming arrived here, he checked out the terrain, but it was no surprise that Shen Yufeng would choose this place as his place of action.

He was just wondering, why hasn't he seen his nephew yet?

It's not yet nightfall, and the scenes of singing and singing every night in the past have almost disappeared now.Empty long streets and deep alleys, red bricks and green tiles, he is the only one wandering here.

Just as he was puzzled, a figure quietly appeared at the entrance of the alley.

The man was covered in a gray robe and had a tall body. After looking around at the entrance of the alley, he stood quietly aside, as if he was waiting for someone.

When Gong Yeming saw it, he subconsciously felt that the person was very familiar, could it be the person he was looking for?

Looking at the man again, although the facial features are covered, if you compare his figure with the figure you met in Ruyi Villa late at night, you can find that there is indeed a bit of similarity.

Yes, he is the person I am looking for!

He jumped off the corner and stopped in front of the other party: "Brother Shen, I haven't seen you for many years."

Seeing him appearing suddenly, the man was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Get out of the way!"

Gong Yeming didn't give in, instead he took a step closer, the man said: "You have found the wrong person!"

Gong Yeming shook his head and said, "Is it the person I'm looking for, just try it and you'll know."

Seeing that he was indeed determined to test his identity, the other party slapped him, and at the same time made a feint, turned and ran to the left.Gong Yeming dodged this move and followed him, within three steps, he overtook him, drew his long sword out of its sheath, and stabbed him in the back.

He didn't intend to hurt the person in front of him, he just wanted to test out his true identity and force him to show up. Although the moves were fierce and fast, they didn't contain any trace of murderous intent. If the person didn't feel ashamed, there was no need to run away.But what he expected was that at the same time that the man escaped, he was forced to turn around to block, and the movement of his palms shook his true energy, forcing him to push back Gong Yeming's approaching sword blade. Back then Shen Xingzhou's habitual mental method - Bipolar Kung Fu.

He shouted loudly: "It really is you! Shen Xingzhou!"

Unexpectedly, after Gong Ye Mingdao revealed the real identity of the person on the opposite side, not only did he not stop the attack, but the attack became even more violent.

His hands were empty and he had no weapon on his body. It was inevitable that he would be at a disadvantage against Gong Yeming who was holding a long sword, but he never slowed down for a moment.Gong Yeming was forced to step back step by step, almost unable to fight back, he moved his toes back a little, took advantage of the momentum to stand firm, and then blocked back with his sword.

Having not seen each other for more than [-] years, both of them deeply felt that the other's strength had increased greatly, which was far beyond their expectations.Gong Yeming didn't want to go to war, and showed mercy many times, but Shen Xingzhou didn't hide his martial arts cultivation anymore. He practiced bipolar kung fu, and he mercilessly greeted Gong Yeming with every move. There are countless fallen leaves on both sides of the alley.

Gong Yeming's pupils shrank suddenly.

Shen Xingzhou's moves were ruthless, and all his moves were killer moves!

This man actually wants to put him to death!

Having figured this out, he simply stopped hiding his front, moved the sword with both hands like the wind, opened and closed, and went back against Shen Xingzhou again.

His martial arts skills are solid and stable, even Shen Yufeng who has practiced bipolar kung fu is difficult to parry, and Shen Xingzhou's kung fu is not much better than his son's, not to mention that with a long sword in hand, Shen Xingzhou lacks the advantage in battle Facing Gong Yeming's increasingly tough sword moves, after dozens of moves back and forth, Shen Xingzhou was increasingly at a disadvantage.

Gong Yeming took advantage of the victory and pursued, taking advantage of the opportunity that the opponent did not have a long blade, he made a quick close-up blow, through the gap between the bipolar kung fu and true energy, the long sword pierced Shen Xingzhou's throat, at this moment, from under the iron mask A familiar but much older voice came from: "Brother Chen, spare me!"

In the end, Gong Yeming's heart softened, and he took back the long sword handed to his throat.

He reached out and took off the mask on his face.

The person who appeared in front of him had sharp eyebrows, thin lips, and a high nose bridge. He still had the same face as when he first saw him. Compared with his young and handsome appearance 20 years ago, Shen Xingzhou now has slightly white temples and slightly sunken mouth corners. Her complexion looked pale and haggard due to wearing a mask frequently, and even her eyes became cloudy, without the unstoppable look of her youth.At such a half-century age, when one should be successful and famous, and enjoy the joys of children and grandchildren, he has given up his fame and status in the world, and put on a mask that is neither human nor ghost, and lives such a dark life.

Gong Yeming threw the mask aside heavily, and said with a heartbroken face, "Brother Shen, brother Shen, you already knew today, why bother?"

"Brother Chen." Shen Xingzhou also said in a painful voice, "I haven't seen you for many years, your sword is not old yet."

Gong Yeming looked at his old face, looked gloomy for a moment, and sighed: "I still remember the first time we met in Jinzhou, you, me and teacher—we rescued you, and the three of us went south all the way to play in the mountains. Shui, how happy those days were, I didn’t expect that more than twenty years would pass in the blink of an eye—you and I are both old.”

Shen Xingzhou lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to forget the grace of saving my life. If Brother Chen and Mu Hua hadn't rescued him at that time, Shen Xingzhou would definitely not be able to survive."

"Then what are you doing now?" Gong Yeming said in a deep voice, "You are so old, and you are still so obsessed, look at you—" He pointed at the iron mask that he threw aside just now , said, "Leave your family business, your wife and children behind, and come to Chang'an to hide and hide. You don't see anyone, you don't recognize anyone. Look at what you look like now!"

"You're just making a joke of the juniors!"

However, Shen Xingzhou raised his head at this moment, faded his sorrowful face, his eyes were as bright as quenched pupils, and said to him: "Brother Chen, my plan is about to succeed, as long as I rescue Mu Niang and bring down the prince , I’ll stop doing it! You, you just trust me this time, don’t mess with my plan.”

Gong Yeming asked back: "What about your wife and children? You are going to live together with another woman, have you ever thought about Yu Feng and the others, have you ever thought that you are worthy of their mother and son?"

Shen Xingzhou was blocked by him, speechless for a while, and replied: "I, I really feel sorry for their mother and son..."

Gong Yeming couldn't help sighing. Seeing the time getting deeper, the brothels on both sides of the long alley opened one after another, and some buildings even began to sweep the courtyard to receive guests. From time to time, someone looked towards them, and Gong Yeming held his hand : "Get up."

Shen Xingzhou still looked concerned: "Brother Chen is not angry anymore?"
