[Comprehensive martial arts] Drawing swords to help

But if they had the ability to strike, they would have done it long ago. Not only is her identity a mystery, her sword skills are even more unpredictable, and even Lu Xiaofeng is not [-]% sure that she can defeat her. How can such a woman silently...

"Where did you find her?" Yang Chun thought of Ximen Chuuxue's performance just now, gradually becoming suspicious, and couldn't help asking.

Lu Xiaofeng took them to the place he found.

It was a piece of dense grass, and a haystack was sunken, and there was a dead silence all around.

Gongsun Lan lay here quietly like this, a red ribbon on her neck was extremely conspicuous, her eyes widened, and her eyes were full of horror.

"This is the ribbon on her sword." Lu Xiaofeng said, he was the only one present who saw Gongsun Lan's appearance when she made a serious move, "The murderer's martial arts must be much better than hers."

Yang Chun's complexion became serious. If she wanted to tell the truth, she didn't have any regrets about Gongsun Lan's misfortune, but this misfortune represented the start of a new conspiracy, and she couldn't be happy when she thought about it.

"You say, who did it?" Lu Xiaofeng murmured, he didn't look at anyone present, because he himself knew that there would be no answer to this question.

Nobody knows the answer to that question until more weirdness happens.

The ending of the Zijin War set off another round of upsurge. Ximen Chuuxue did not appear in the public eye after this war. Some people said that they saw him go back to Wanmei Villa for retreat, and some said that he visited various places to find other sword skills. Master, some people say that he went out to sea and disappeared... People like to talk about Ximen Chuuxue who won, and Ye Gucheng who lost by coincidence.

This name was mentioned again in Beijing a month later, in a way that was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Your Majesty, some strange things have happened in the palace recently, and there are rumors among the palace people that it is..."

The pen in the hand of the young man in a bright yellow robe paused, and then continued to write a series of beautiful lower characters, "Continue talking."

The elderly eunuch quickly raised his eyes to look at the young emperor's face, and after confirming that he was not angry, he said, "It is rumored that there are ghosts in the palace."

The emperor sneered, "Oh? What kind of ghost is this time, the prince from the previous dynasty, or the unfortunate concubine in the cold palace?"

"Report to Your Majesty, neither."

"Oh? Who is that?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the incomparable duel at the Purple and Gold Summit a month ago?" the old eunuch said slowly.

"Slightly heard."

"A guard said that he had vaguely seen a white-clothed ghost holding a sword. From his description, it seemed a bit like Ye Gucheng who was defeated in a duel."

"This is nonsense." The emperor laughed loudly. "What happened to Zijin Mountain has nothing to do with me? Even if he doesn't stay on Zijin Mountain, he should go find Ximen Chuuxue."

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten where this place is?" said the old eunuch, "The top of the purple gold, the top of the forbidden... It is said that after a person becomes a ghost, his sanity will always be a little blurred. Maybe this Ye Gucheng got the wrong place."

"You guys are also interesting. This is a land guarded by dragon energy. There are no ghosts. I think the guards couldn't catch and find out the source of those so-called weird things, so they made up lies. Could it be that Baiyun City Lord is innocent? It's time to do it, and make these jokes with them."

"Your Majesty, would you like to check?"

"What can I check?" This really meant rejection.

The old eunuch didn't try to persuade him, he answered "yes" and stood aside.

The emperor didn't take this matter to heart, but what happened afterwards couldn't make him think so anymore.

A guard in the palace fell silently on the way of patrolling, with only a bloodstain on his neck.

☆、Nosy Eleven

There are many dead souls silently in the palace, but once such a blatant incident occurs, it must not be left alone.Although the emperor was young, he was quite decisive in his actions. He quickly issued a death order to Wei Ziyun, Yin Xian, Tu Fang, and Ding Ao, the four masters in the court, and asked them to solve the case within five days. Useless.

Wei Ziyun and the others are by no means mediocre, but no matter what kind of net they set up, they were all smashed by the white shadow with a sword. This martial art (if it can be called martial art) has exceeded their comprehension. Even Wei Ziyun, the calmest and most capable of the four, was sweating coldly wondering if this was a living person.

Of course they thought of confirming Ye Gucheng's life and death, but it was said that his remains had been brought back to Baiyun City in the South China Sea, and it would take at least ten days to go back and forth, which was far beyond the time limit given by the emperor.The four of them discussed this difficult matter with sullen faces every morning, and the more they discussed, the more gloomy their faces became, until Yin Xian said such a sentence.

"If it's Ye Gucheng, shouldn't Ximen Chuuxue deal with it?"

If there is only one person in the world who can deal with this astonishing swordsmanship, it can only be that peerless swordsman.

Wei Ziyun asked: "Then where can I find Ximen Chuuxue?"

They weren't sure if Ximen Chuuxue was in Wanmei Villa, and they didn't know if the swordsman would give them a face to investigate this nonsense.

"One person may be able to." Yin Xian said.

"Who?"

The four of you look at me, and I look at you, to confirm whether they are thinking of the same person.

"Lu Xiaofeng." Wei Ziyun said, "Let's go to Lu Xiaofeng for help."

Finding Lu Xiaofeng is much easier than looking for Ye Gucheng's ghost. Yin Xian found Lu Xiaofeng in a well-known restaurant.

Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and said: "I can go, but I still need to bring an assistant, she has to go into the palace with me to investigate."

Yin Xian naturally agreed, as long as Lu Xiaofeng could help them solve this matter, let alone such a simple "back door", even if it was three times more difficult, he would immediately do so.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

When Yang Chun and Sun Xiuqing went down the mountain to watch the duel, Dugu Yihe was in seclusion, so he didn't have time to sit down and listen to Yang Chun and Sun Xiuqing talk about that peerless duel until today, a month later.

Although Sun Xiuqing's martial arts is not as good as Yangchun's, she is undoubtedly more professional than Yangchun in the "sword" weapon. Dugu Yihe listened to her happily talking about what Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng had said, and how they introduced their sword Yes, in the end it was regrettable to find that in the most critical part of the duel, Sun Xiuqing could only say something like "their figures crossed each other for a moment, and Ye Gucheng fell down".

He sighed, but he also knew that he couldn't be too harsh on Sun Xiuqing. After all, she was inexperienced and far away, so it was normal for her to feel unclear.He looked at the quieter Yangchun, and asked, "What did little friend Yangchun see?"

"I... I'm ashamed to say it, I really don't know much about the way of this sword, but..." She was a little ashamed, "It's just that this decisive battle is exciting, but it's not amazing enough." She felt "amazing" The word is still missing, but there is no better word for it.Feng Han had once told her the importance of fighting and watching battles for warriors, but the duel between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng could not give her any insight, only full of doubts, "Besides, when we went down the mountain, we met two more people. Strange things... One is Gongsun Lan, I must have heard about the head of Dugu, as for the second..."

She didn't have time to finish, because Shi Xiuxue came in to report that Lu Xiaofeng hurried to Mount Emei and wanted to see Yangchun by name.

So half an hour later, Yang Chun hurriedly set foot on the road to the capital with Lu Xiaofeng.

"Why do you think of me at this time?" Yang Chun asked.

"You are one of the few people who have seen the scene of Gongsun Lan. Sun Xiuqing's martial arts are average, and I can't find that monkey spirit for a while, so I can only rely on you." Lu Xiaofeng said, "And you are very lucky, maybe you can Hit Ximen Chuuxue."

Yang Chun thought that he met Gongsun Lan when he first came to transmigrate, and later accidentally broke Huo Xiu's plot, so he couldn't find any evidence for his "bad luck".

They spent a whole day on the road, and when they arrived in the capital, there was only one day left for Wei Ziyun and the others.

It is almost impossible to complete the tasks of finding Ximen Chuuxue and catching ghosts in one day, even Lu Xiaofeng could only smile wryly when he heard the harsh conditions.

After thinking for a while, Yang Chun comforted, "I think Ximen Chuuxue should not let go of the duel with Ye Gucheng. If he hears the news, he should come to the capital."

"I also have the same feeling." Lu Xiaofeng said, "It's just that if he came to the capital, where would he be now?"

There will be no answer to this question for a while.

Lu Xiaofeng and Yang Chun followed Yin Xian into the Forbidden City.

On the way to several places haunted by ghosts, Yang Chun looked around, she never had a chance to enter here when she was in another river and lake, she never thought that this little wish would come true in this way.She looked at the vermilion palace walls, trying to find out the changes of the years, but she couldn't make a comparison because she had long forgotten the appearance of the Forbidden City in modern society.

"arrive."

Yang Chun recovered from the memories, she looked around and found that the place they were in was not deserted, nor lively at all.

"This is where the ghost image first appeared." Yin Xian said.

While Lu Xiaofeng was still asking for details, Yang Chun had already searched around according to her professional habits. While imagining the appearance of the ghost in front of the guards, she was looking for possible footprints or traces of hanging ropes. Either way she got nothing.If it is in modern times, this may be included in the unthinkable event, but in Jianghu, she can come to the conclusion that the perpetrator has extremely high lightness.

'Ye Gucheng can indeed do this. She remembered the description of Baiyun City Lord's "Flying Immortal Outside the Sky" move. If there is no peerless lightness kung fu, she will definitely not be able to use such a sword technique.

Lu Xiaofeng was not as good as him in field investigation, but he figured out the guard's confession and his intuition also came to the same conclusion as Yang Chun. They followed Yin Xian to visit a few more places and found that the situation was similar to here.

"Oh." Lu Xiaofeng slapped his head suddenly, "I actually forgot one thing."

"What?" Wei Ziyun and the others became tense.

"Great wisdom, these two strange old men may know whether Ye Gucheng is dead or alive." Lu Xiaofeng patted his thigh and said, regretful, "It's over, it's over, where can I find Mr. Guisunzi now?"

"You don't have to worry about that." Wei Ziyun said, "I know he's in the capital."

Since Mr. Guisunzi is in the capital, he must be in the best brothel in the capital. This place doesn’t welcome women very much. No matter how hard Yangchun is, men can’t change her physical structure. In order to avoid trouble and save time as much as possible, Lu Xiaofeng decides to act differently from Yangchun, he goes to the brothel to find Mr. Guisunzi, while Yangchun wanders around to see if he can meet Ximen Chuuxue.

Yang Chun said that this task can only be done by chance.

The capital city is very lively no matter what season it is, Yangchun struggled to squeeze through the crowd, finally got a chance to breathe the fresh air, and was squeezed into an old shop that looked old by the rushing crowd.

She originally wanted to go out immediately, but stopped because of the things in the store.

It was a box of pastries exuding a sweet aroma, with different shapes, small and cute.

'I'm really not abusing the public for personal reasons, but I really don't have any clues. ' She comforted herself like this, lingering and watching the white, pink and tender pastries, how sweet and sweet they can be imagined from the appearance, being sent out of the kitchen and delivered to the hands of every customer .

She touched the silver taels on her body. It was not a small amount. As a guest on Mount Emei, she had been eating and drinking for free, and had no chance to spend money. Therefore, Gongsun Lan gave her almost nothing in return. .

"I want ten!" she said decisively.

"Huh?" This is the shop assistant who was frightened by the quantity.

Eating pastries all the way, Yang Chun wandered the streets of the capital all the way, until the pastries were finished and the sunset was over, she also expected to not find any information related to Ximen Chuuxue.

When the sun sets, it is time for them and the four masters of Ouchi to enter the palace again.

She arrived at the gate of the palace on time, and saw Lu Xiaofeng and Wei Ziyun in a panic.

"What happened?" she asked, frowning.

"Dazhi Datong is dead." Lu Xiaofeng said, "He was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, I don't know who did it." He was in a very bad mood, "We don't have much time, we can only lure the snake out of its hole."

"How to lead?"

"We wrote a letter of war in the name of Ximen Chuuxue, saying that we would fight the ghost of Ye Gucheng. If he is a real ghost, he will definitely agree. If he is just a fake, we have to come to the appointment to make ourselves pretend to be even better. Like." Wei Ziyun explained.

Yang Chun frowned, she felt that this plan was really nonsense, but they really had no better way.

"I just hope that Ximen Chuuxue will really appear." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "If he doesn't come, we may not be able to stop him with Baiyun City Lord's swordsmanship and lightness."

☆、Nosy twelve

What kind of person is Ye Gucheng?

The answer to this question is probably only known to him, and even the son of Prince Nan, who conspired with him to usurp the throne, dare not say that he fully understands this master.He looked at the man in white standing quietly under the eaves. It was difficult for people to associate such inferior acts as "pretending to be gods and ghosts" with evil deeds such as "seeking power and usurping the throne" with him.

But this matter, this plan was indeed thought up by him, not in recent days, but when he became his master a few years ago, he had already started planning such a big event, not only that, he The plan paid a lot, and even gave up the duel with Ximen Chuuxue, who is also the top swordsman in the world, and let a stand-in with good sword skills replace him to go to the appointment.However, the strange thing is that neither the prince himself nor the old housekeeper who is best at guessing people's hearts in Nanwang's mansion can't see the motives of ambition or hatred from this person's eyes. They still don't know why Ye Gucheng participated in this. matter.

"My son, the time has come." They bribed the chief eunuch Wang An and said respectfully.

"Master..." Prince Nan looked at Ye Gucheng beseechingly, and the latter looked at the moonlight in the sky, because it had already passed the fifteenth day, and the full moon was already incomplete. Is it for the troublemakers like them or for the current emperor.

"Let's go." He said, holding the sword and walking out first.

************************

Yang Chun and Lu Xiaofeng have been guarding in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a long time.

All the people are ready to fight, Yang Chun glanced around, and found that this place is indeed a royal palace, and there are more experts worth noting than all the ones she has seen in this world before combined.

"Will he really come today?" Wei Ziyun already had an anxious expression on his face. His current expression reminded Yang Chun of the candidates before the exam. He wanted to quickly end the nightmare in one go, but he was worried that he would make mistakes in answering the questions.

"..." Lu Xiaofeng pursed her lips tightly, but did not answer the question.

"I have summoned most of the guards here. It would be bad if he caused trouble elsewhere today." Wei Ziyun said worriedly.

"What did you just say?" Lu Xiaofeng suddenly thought of a certain possibility and turned his head abruptly, "You said that you have transferred most of your strength?"

"Yes, yes..."

"If, this is the purpose of that 'ghost'..." Yang Chun did not continue, if what she was thinking now is true... She looked at Lu Xiaofeng and blurted out at the same time: "Your Majesty/Emperor!"

Wei Ziyun's expression also changed.

***************************

No one was surprised when the four brothers of the Yu family fell, not even their master, the emperor.

But this young man was still able to hold his breath, he stood upright, his cold eyes swept over everyone present one by one, he sneered when he glanced at the Prince Nan who looked exactly like him, and moved to Ye Gucheng's body.

The emperor's eyes were already cold enough, but when he touched Ye Gucheng's eyes, he was still shocked by the coldness in his eyes. He clenched his hands behind his back, reminding himself not to show timidity in front of the rebels, and sighed with pretended regret. : "Your beauty, how can I follow the thief?"

Prince Nan Wang looked at Ye Gucheng from the corner of his eye, and he was also looking forward to Ye Gucheng's reply in his heart.

"Become a king, lose a thief." Ye Gucheng said, "Between you and me, the king and thief are not yet determined."

"Since ancient times, no one else has been allowed to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch. The rivers and lakes know that there is no lonely city in the world, so what's the use of keeping you? Could it be that you are doing what you are doing today?" the emperor said, he was keenly aware of the fact that the prince of Nan Because of his own words aroused some uneasiness, hope was slightly ignited in his heart, but Ye Gucheng's next sentence raised his heart again.

"My sword is in my hand," he said.

This is not an answer, but the most powerful answer.Since Ye Gucheng has a sword in his hand, what can a Southern Prince do against him?Even if it is the Ninth Five-Year Master, what can he do?

"You have almost nothing to gain in this matter, why should you condescend to do it?"

"This kind of thing...you probably don't understand it." Ye Gucheng said coldly, he seemed to be tired of this kind of back and forth, with a sharp sword pointing at the heart, "draw your sword."

"I have no sword that can't be pulled out." The emperor said calmly, "What I have practiced is the sword of governing the world and the people. Such a sword cannot be pulled out from the heart." He paused and added another sentence , "You probably don't understand such a truth."

Ye Gucheng looked at him for a long time, until Wang An and Nan Wangshizi thought he had changed his mind and panicked, then he laughed lowly and said two words: "It's a pity."

The emperor's complexion turned gray uncontrollably, and Wang An and Nan Wang's son showed ecstasy.

When the wind rises, the cold sword rides away with the wind.

A cold blade needs hot blood to forge.

However, the sword in Ye Gucheng's hand pierced not hot flesh and blood, but a broad-backed broadsword.

There were already inches of cracks on the surface of the knife, and cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the person holding the knife. The martial arts of Baiyun City Lord was higher than she thought, and her strength was only enough to last for a while.

Fortunately, a moment is enough.

The treasured sword was broken, and Lu Xiaofeng, Wei Ziyun and others had already arrived.

Yang Chun shouted loudly, and the remaining knife in his hand sent out a burst of knife energy, shaking the fragments away and causing them to fly backwards towards the opposite opponent. Ye Gucheng frowned slightly, and drew a sword flower.Yang Chun has already lost the knife, and his lightness kung fu is not as good as him, so there is no way to stop him, he can only watch him disappear out of the window.

"Chasing or not?" She looked at Lu Xiaofeng.

"Of course we have to chase!" Wei Ziyun replied, and he was the first to chase him out.Lu Xiaofeng sighed, followed closely behind, Yang Chun wanted to follow at first, but when he turned his head and saw the emperor in a mess, he finally felt that something was wrong, so he stayed behind.

The emperor sighed and said with a wry smile: "Unexpectedly, a person from Jianghu is most concerned about my safety."

These words were more like a joke, Yang Chun couldn't hear the anger in his words, but he was able to deal with Ye Gucheng for so long, she couldn't see through the emperor's mind.

"What do you call a female hero?" the emperor asked, and he said "female hero" in a very polite manner, without any contempt for the vulgar Jianghu from the people in the court.

"spring."

"It's a good omen," said the Emperor.

Yang Chun: ...How can people answer this question.

"You don't have to guard me." The emperor said, "Wei Ziyun and the others probably won't be able to stop Lord Baiyun."

****************************

Ye Gucheng did not evacuate the palace, when he saw the young man in white with a sword in his hand, he didn't have the slightest thought of "escape".

The man stood there like an ice sculpture, with confusion in his eyes that he hadn't even noticed.

"You're dishonest," he said.

"Oh?" Ye Gucheng seemed very interested in what he said.

"You are not sincere..." Ximen Chuuxue said, the confusion in his eyes gradually expanded, "Why do you have such accomplishments."

"Perhaps you don't need to be sincere in learning swordsmanship." Ye Gucheng said, he looked at the opposite person carefully, many people said that they were very similar, but their descriptions were limited to their appearance.Now he saw Ximen Chuuxue in this situation, and found some similarities and dissimilarities in them.

He recalled in a daze that when he practiced his sword against the tide of the South China Sea, he was once as firm as Ximen Chuuxue before the Zijin Covenant, but after that, he also had a similar confusion in his heart as Ximen Chuuxue's eyes.There are so many things he doesn't understand, some are understandable, some are incomprehensible, some are harmless, and some are outrageous.

He is different from Ximen Chuuxue, because he chooses to touch the bottom line of the ethics of monarch, minister and minister, and wants to see what will happen after changing it.

Perhaps it is the sea that hides the waves at the bottom of the calm endowed him with such a deep rebellion.

'If I hadn't done such a thing, what would have happened to me in the future? 'He had this question in his mind again, it had nothing to do with regret, it was just curiosity.

He didn't know whether there would be a soul after death. For him, it was better to have a soul than not to have one, so he could see the answer to this question from Ximen Chuuxue.

"Please," he said.

At this time, the pursuers had arrived, and they had bows and arrows and strong crossbows in their hands.

Ximen Chuuxue approached Ye Gucheng, and the two passed each other. Ye Gucheng heard Ximen Chuuxue behind him say: "If I join forces with Lord Ye, who can stop me?"

Ye Gucheng smiled softly, but no one heard it except Ximen Chuuxue.

"The full moon is incomplete, so it's okay to change the Purple Gold Peak to the Forbidden Peak."

************************

"Why did you come here?" Lu Xiaofeng asked Ximen Chuuxue, he was both surprised and happy about his arrival, after the dust settled, he couldn't help but want to ask how this miracle happened.

"You don't know?" Ximen Chuuxue's eyes moved.

"Should I know?" Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened in confusion.

"Wasn't that female swordsman buying ten boxes of pastries from the pastry shop opened by Wanmei Villa at one go at your beck and call?" Ximen Chuuxue said coldly. He looked at Lu Xiaofeng's face and continued, "Look. Come on, I was wrong."

"Yang Chun Yang Chun!" Lu Xiaofeng's first reaction was that the female swordsman didn't report her knowledge, "Did you find Ximen's trace and didn't tell me on purpose?"

But there was no one behind him.

"It's really weird, she watched the duel with us just now." Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and decided not to think about this question anymore, "Forget it, let's ask her next time we meet."
