Nine thoughts of a gentleman in comprehensive martial arts

Chapter 18] The Sword of the Son of Heaven

The little emperor just turned [-] this year. He is a weak crown, and it is the first year of his own administration. He is cautious in everything he says and does, lest there be any mistakes, he will be criticized bloody by those "regents" left behind by his father. head.He didn't have enough control over the palace, so he didn't dare to go back to the palace, but rested in the Shang's study on the grounds that "I should work as hard as I did when I was a prince".There are many secrets in the Shangshufang, and it is the place where he has the greatest control. Only here can he sleep peacefully, instead of being sleepless all night in the empty bedroom.

Today was the day of the duel between the two swordsmen, but the little emperor finished approving the memorial with peace of mind, secretly ate a few pieces of snacks, and then slowly lay down on the couch pretending to sleep.

I hope the other party doesn't delay too long, so that there is still time to go back to the cage and sleep, and I have to go to court tomorrow.

Waking up in the middle of the night, the little emperor was keenly aware of the presence of someone beside him.He looked up, and the moonlight shone on the expensive green gauze curtain, like a hazy mist. In the mist, there was a figure of a person flickering, which made the quiet night a little more unpredictable. color.

Seeing the little emperor sitting up, the man leaned over slightly and said, "Auntie Wang An, serve the emperor with tea."

Wang An?The little emperor frowned and lowered his eyes. He didn't expect that the person who betrayed him was actually Wang An, whom he had single-handedly supported since he was a prince.Although he was betrayed, the little emperor did not have any negative emotions of sadness and loss.He just smiled sarcastically, such ungrateful bastards are not worthy of his displeasure at all.

It's just that the play still needs to be performed, but he wants to see what kind of clever strategy Nan Wang can come up with: "Now you don't need to serve here, just retreat."

Wang An agreed, but didn't leave, and the little emperor didn't open his mouth. He took a leisurely look at what the other party would do, but after a while, Wang An couldn't bear it any longer, and he said, "I want to invite the emperor to meet a People." He was actually going to work in the middle of the night, and this alone was enough to remove his head.

"You will become more and more bold then." The little emperor sneered, and stabbed the other party in a mild manner, regardless of how surprised the other party was when he heard the words.He straightened up his appearance, opened the curtain calmly, stood up, and ordered as a matter of course: "Bring it up and kowtow."

Wang An's expression was distorted for a moment, but he quickly returned to his respectful look, but his words were still disrespectful: "Please look at it, Your Majesty." He gestured, and two lights suddenly lit up outside the tent.

The little emperor's expression became very subtle. The person who came had exactly the same appearance and figure as him, and was wearing a dragon robe.The color of the robe is bright yellow, the leader is all azure with golden borders, embroidered with nine dragons in gold, arranged in twelve chapters, with five-color clouds in between, the front and back of the collar are front and back, there is one dragon on the left and right, and one dragon on the left and right sides, one dragon on the oil end, and one dragon on the bottom. An eight-treasure standing water skirt with a left stone opening is the emperor's court dress.

What else do you not understand?It's just a good show of changing the civet cat for the prince. I thought these people could come up with some clever plan.

It's a pity that the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper. There is Jackie Chan's heart, but there is no Jackie Chan's life.

"You are the son of the Southern Prince? You have been transferred to the capital?" The little emperor said indifferently, seeing the other party shook his head, he said, "If you leave the fief without authorization, you should be punished for this crime. The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the people. Even if I have the heart to protect each other, I am afraid that I will be charged with beheading."

Prince Nan Wang smiled complacently, and said slowly: "Since you know the law, why do you still want to break it?" He raised his hand, his expression changed, and he said sharply: "If you know the law and break the law, the crime will be worse, even if you want to save your life However, the family law of the ancestors still exists..."

"Idiot!" The little emperor snapped, interrupted the other person's words, and said in a cold voice, "Standing in my dormitory in court clothes and uttering wild words, if the guards come later, no matter how much you look like me, Anyone who is not stupid can see the clues. Who would still wear court clothes when they go to bed in the middle of the night? It's just as stupid as a pig."

The faces of Nan Wang Shizi and Wang An instantly turned green. They were too complacent to make such a big loophole.

Their minds were shaken, and the little emperor found a place to start.Using their arrogance and arrogance to interrogate their plans bit by bit, these will become evidence of the Nanwangfu's rebellion in the future.For these uncles who have too much power, the little emperor has endured for a long time. The reason why he took the Nanwang Mansion is not only because they have become obstacles in the way, but also because they are too stupid.

Maybe success is just around the corner, maybe the temptation of the dragon chair is too charming, or maybe the existence of Ye Gucheng gave them too much self-confidence.Under the little emperor's deliberate questioning, Prince Nan Wang and Wang An told all their plans, even including how to use the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng to confuse people's attention and divert most of the people in the palace. of troops.And how did he use Lu Xiaofeng to lead him to suspect the honest monk, and made a mess of the world to cover up their actions.And how Wang An mobilized the manpower of the Shangshufang, how the battle between the two swordsmen attracted the Ouchi guards and so on.

With the evidence in hand, the little emperor was also satisfied, he smiled slowly: "You two are not very good at it, but you just know how to do some tricks. Who is it that makes you confident?"

As soon as this person was mentioned, Nanwang Shizi and Wang An felt more at ease, and they couldn't help showing a little bit on their faces: "Then let this servant introduce you, this is the orphan of the previous dynasty, the son of the master who has been preparing to return to the country for generations. ——Sword Immortal of the South China Sea, Lord of Baiyun City, Ye Gucheng!"

As soon as the words were finished, a handsome man with dark hair and black hair, dressed in white, walked out of the side compartment slowly with a sword in his hand. His eyes were like cold stars, and the sword aura around his body was awe-inspiring, noble like a prince, and ethereal like a fairy in the clouds.He is so lofty, standing in the palace, facing the most noble person in the world, yet he is still so proud that he doesn't take anyone seriously.

The little emperor glanced indifferently, only to feel that although this person had a great demeanor, he seemed to be slightly inferior to the sword master, so he was relieved and said, "Ye Gucheng?"

Ye Gucheng's face was icy white, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Mountain grasslanders, I never expected to be able to listen to Heaven." Even though he said this, the arrogance in his tone was slightly careless.

The little emperor suddenly smiled lightly, with a hint of frivolity and sarcasm in his smile: "Your beauty, how can I be a thief?"

Ye Gucheng's face was unmoved, and he didn't point out the ambiguity in the little emperor's words, "Achievement is a king, and defeat is a thief." He stood with his sword horizontally, his sword aura soaring into the sky, and said solemnly, "Now the king is no longer a king, and the thief is no longer a king." Between non-thieves and kings and thieves, the strong wins! Your Majesty, please use your sword."

The little emperor laughed loudly: "So what if you win? Strong swordsmanship, does it mean that your way of governing the country is also strong?! I ascended the throne at the age of 13, fought wits and courage with all the officials in the court, and tried to balance the contradictions between the court and the world. I have always been cautious. Follow the teachings of the ancestors and do the kingly things. Benevolent government for the people, saving punishment, light tax collection, deep farming and easy farming, the strong use their spare time to cultivate their filial piety, loyalty and trust, come in to serve their fathers and brothers, and go out to serve their elders. The four seas Shengping, the world will return to one's heart. I ask myself that although I have been on the throne for less than ten years, I am worthy of the people of the world and the training of my ancestors! You, Ye Gucheng, have excellent swordsmanship, how can you compare with me?!"

"If you want to defeat me with swordsmanship in vain, you can ascend to the position of supreme? What do you think of the people in the world? What do you think of the people of the world? What do you think of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? You have a sword in your hand, but there is no sword in your heart. The sword is straight, Jian Gang, a person with a wicked heart, how can he hide a sword in his chest?"

Ye Gucheng's face changed slightly, pale as paper, but he still said: "You dare not fight?"

"I admit that my martial arts are not as good as yours." The little emperor's clothes are light and his aura is dignified. At this moment, he is clearly looking at everyone at the same level, but he shows a condescending look, "I am practicing the sword of the emperor, leveling the world, An Wanmin, strategizing among the curtains, decisively winning thousands of miles away, using the body as a sword, blood splashing five steps, is not taken by the emperor. I am the emperor, I have hundreds of officials in the court, I have good ministers and famous generals, and I have Why take the lead? Put your own life at risk? Even if I can't resist your sword, someone will deal with you!"

Ye Gucheng's complexion changed drastically, and he said sharply: "Impossible! How could Ximen Chuuxue be driven by you?"

In his heart, even though Ye Ying's name spreads far and wide, and he is also known as the "Sword Master", the only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him for more than ten years is Ximen Chuuxue.

"Why? Do you think Ximen Chuuxue is the only one standing shoulder to shoulder with you?" The little emperor obviously didn't like the two guys who insisted on breaking ground on his head, and said quietly, "It's not a good thing to be conceited, is it?"

As soon as the little emperor finished speaking, Ye Ying opened the gauze curtain and walked out of the side hall. His eyes were lightly closed, and he was dressed in a dignified and heavy autumn-colored robe.He took a few steps lightly and stood in front of the little emperor, but just a few steps away, it was as if a thick mountain collapsed, pressing heavily on people's hearts, almost making them breathless.

Ye Gucheng's heart trembled slightly, and his hand holding the sword tightened slightly. He took a deep breath and said coldly, "So it was you."

"It's Ye." Ye Ying faced Ye Gucheng quietly, her voice as warm as water.

"Why bother meddling in this matter, sir? As long as a swordsman is good at swordsmanship, why bother meddling in the affairs of the court?" Nan Wang Shizi knew it was not good when he saw Ye Ying, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Sir, you have such a fairy appearance, why bother?" Meddling in the affairs of the world? I heard that the master has a disciple, after I ascend the throne, I can make her the queen, and the master will be the head of the country..."

what the hell! ! !

Both Ye Gucheng and the little emperor were shocked. Ye Gucheng could understand the other party's desire to tie down Ye Ying by profit, but how could he say that? !The little emperor was also shocked, Fairy Ye is still not sure if she is a fairy or a boy!I don't know how fat, thin, beautiful and ugly!Didn't know anything, in order to ascend to the throne, the son of Prince Nan actually sold himself?This is too ridiculous!

In order to gain Ye Gucheng's support, he became Ye Gucheng's apprentice, making him a generation below him.Now, in order for Ye Ying not to stop him, she actually sold herself.

Hey, hey, you are a Jackie Chan heart, okay?Is it really okay to be so cheap? !

Ye Ying's face was as calm as water, but the breath around her suddenly turned cold. He slightly tilted Yangui's scabbard, and was about to draw it out. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with this "proposal".

Ye Jiusi and Lu Xiaofeng hurried over, just in time to hear the astonishing speech of Prince Nan.Lu Xiaofeng choked and coughed like hell, crying and laughing as he turned his head to look at Ye Jiusi behind him.Ye Jiusi glanced at him, did not speak, but there was a half-smile on the brows and eyes, indescribably suave, elegant and pleasant.

"Does Xiao Jiusi want to be a queen?" Lu Xiaofeng teased deliberately, because he knew that Ye Jiusi was not the kind of person who covets wealth and honor.

"Empress?" Ye Jiusi raised her eyebrows and smiled, and when everyone looked over, she smiled softly, "Actually, until I was 12 years old, I always thought that I should marry a wife in the future. Although I changed it later, I think Recruiting a relative is also a good choice, if the young master is willing to be the young wife of the Ye family, Jiu Si doesn't mind."

In fact, after the reign of Emperor Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere was very open, and the status of men and women was equal.Men can marry wives and take concubines, and there are also high-ranking women who raise male favorites and face heads. In order to pursue such a balance in the world, more people are monogamous, and truly achieve a lifetime of one couple.

Ye Jiusi is always gentle and considerate to girls, and Tang Dynasty also has same-sex love, but there is quite a lot of love between men.There used to be women who crazily pursued Ye Jiusi, but Ye Jiusi did not agree after all. Some people gave up and found another true love, but some people suggested that no matter who Ye Jiusi married, she would marry him and be his concubine. together.

Seek the psychological shadow area of ​​that man.

As soon as Ye Jiusi finished speaking, Prince Nan's face became stiff.He looked at Lu Xiaofeng, Wei Ziyun and others who had already rushed back, and the ominous premonition in his heart became heavier, and he couldn't help leaning towards Ye Gucheng, as if he could find a sense of security in this way.However, Ye Gucheng, the only one who could make him feel a little bit of security, froze the moment Ximen Chuuxue came in.

The two white-clothed Shengxue faced each other quietly, Ximen Chuixue's lonely eyes were full of loneliness, but Ye Gucheng's face was already stiff.

They are such similar people, with the same lonely life, the same outstanding talent, and the same rich and carefree birth; however, they are such different people, one is sincere to the sword, and the other is sincere to the sword, With sincerity in mind, the way of swordsmanship that is harmonious but different, it is hard to tell who is right and who is wrong.

The fault is that they were born in the same era. It is only to blame that the heaven always likes the drama of "Ji Sheng Yu, He Sheng Liang".

"Tonight is the night of the full moon." Ximen Chuuxue's voice was quiet, like the coldest handful of snow in the mountains, "You are Ye Gucheng, and I am Ximen Chuuxue."

On the night of the full moon, at the top of the Forbidden City, with a sword coming from the west, the immortals fly from the sky.

Now, who can stop them from fulfilling this peerless duel?

After all, Ye Gucheng's sword pointing at the emperor failed to swing out, not only because of the sudden arrival of Ximen Chuuxue, but also because of Ye Ying's pervasive and meticulous protection.The arrival of Ye Jiusi, Lu Xiaofeng and others also announced the complete end of this farce of stealing dragons and turning phoenixes.Wang An and Prince Nan were quickly taken down. Even though Prince Nan was still struggling and insisted that he was the emperor, no one paid any attention.The two tried to seek Ye Gucheng's help, but at this time Ye Gucheng had understood that the situation was over and the dust had settled. At this moment, in his eyes, only Ximen Chuuxue was left, and only Ximen Chuuxue was left.

"Si'er." Ye Ying patted his disciple's head, but his words were as serious as a mountain, "Look carefully, although their sword skills are not as good as yours, but their understanding of kendo is much better than yours, watch carefully, it will benefit you for life. "

"I understand, master." Ye Jiusi nodded solemnly, her experience is still too little, and she is too young, neither can she understand the way of entering the world, nor can she understand the way of the world like her master.But Ye Jiusi knew that there was no rush, she had to learn the way of the sword by herself, and her master could teach her sword skills and moves, but he couldn't teach her the way of the sword.

For the rest of the road, she needs to walk by herself, step by step, steadily.

The author has something to say: I always thought that the little emperor in Lu Xiaofeng's world was quite domineering, but I don't know why...

He has always used the word "I" instead of "Zhen".

Maybe it's a loophole... Ahaha, so I corrected everything, and added a little bit of my own opinion on the position of the emperor.

He didn't want the people of the Jianghu to be divided equally into the common people of the Ming Dynasty. The little emperor wanted the people of the Jianghu to withdraw and become a complete monarchy.

This scene is actually mainly about Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue.

Because in the next chapter, the heroine needs to learn the inner feelings and insights from the two.

These are things that Ye Ying can't teach her, and she needs to comprehend them by herself.

The master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual.

The heroine will become stronger little by little, and she will get rid of the humbleness in her heart when facing Ye Ying. What I want is a woman who is good enough to stand beside the male god and stand shoulder to shoulder with him, not a small follower Existence like a little maid.

In that case, even I will look down on Xiao Jiuer.

Xiao Jiu'er's growth path still has a long way to go.
