[Comprehensive] Retirement of the brave

After leaving the city gate, follow the path and turn into the mountain.During the whole journey, Bai remained silent, and even Lu Xiaofeng's mood sank a bit.

Bai had already walked this road with the person behind the scenes, he really didn't know what to say to Lu Xiaofeng, so he simply kept silent.

There is a ruined temple hidden in the barren mountains, the monk guarding the temple saw Bai from a distance, nodded slightly and went aside with a broom.So Bai knew that the people in the temple hadn't left yet.

He signaled Lu Xiaofeng to wait outside the door first, then pushed open the door of the Zen room and walked in.

The house is dark and damp. Although it is not narrow, there are only one table, one stool, and one bed.The stool was placed under the table, and on the table was a dim oil lamp and a broken scripture book that no one had read for a long time.As for the bed, the bed is very simple and only big enough for one person to lie on. The difference is that someone is sitting on it.

Ye Gucheng sat on the bed with his legs apart, his sword was in his hand, and his other hand was already on the hilt, ready to swing the fatal sword at all times.Especially when he found that the person who came in was not the person he thought, his nerves were already highly tense.

"There is no need to draw the sword." Bai walked in and pulled out the stool, and sat at the table facing Ye Gucheng. "I think the person you are waiting for should not be me."

Ye Gucheng's hand holding the sword slowly relaxed, and he had already realized that he would no longer have the chance to draw the sword.It was an intuition from a swordsman. Even if the person opposite had the sword on his back, he would not have a chance to draw the sword in front of him.

This was the first time he had seen the rumored Daomobai. He silently and carefully looked at the young man in front of him. His appearance was too young and he didn't seem to be holding a weapon at all.Simply, he had learned a long time ago not to judge people by their appearance.In the arena, the weaker the person looks, the more likely they are the ones who will take your life.

"It's really not you that I'm waiting for."

"But I think you should know why I came to you."

Unlike the white face with a smile on it, the frost on Ye Gucheng's face slowly condensed, and his complexion became very bad. "Among the rumors I've heard, every appearance of the Sword Demon is to send the guilty to prison."

"You don't seem to feel guilty."

"Yes."

Bai shook his head and said, "For you, helping the King of Nan in rebellion may not be a crime. Then, what about being dishonest to yourself, heart, and sword? You are preparing to blaspheme your chosen opponent. "

Ye Gucheng closed his mouth and stared at him.His face turned pale, partly because Bai had indeed guessed something in his heart, and partly because he suddenly discovered that what he was doing was actually just a trick in the eyes of the person they were trying to plot. A monkey show.

"You are scarier than I imagined." Ye Gucheng said with a cold face, "They chose the wrong partner, they should never have chosen to be your enemy."

"But they did."

Ye Gucheng said coldly: "Why did you come to me?"

Bai said: "Because someone told me that people should have friends, and friends should not be used to hurt you. You are Lu Xiaofeng's friend, and I don't want to make things difficult for him."

"You want to let me go? But you know that I will not choose to give up for such a reason. I will still do what I promised."

"So I'm just giving you a chance to choose."

A sigh came from outside the window, it was Lu Xiaofeng's voice.He walked into the room and put the oil lamp on the table aside, threw the scriptures there, and made it on the table casually. "Even though I already knew there was something wrong with this matchup, I still can't believe you were involved."

"Everyone is ambitious." The sigh in Lu Xiaofeng's words made Ye Gucheng look better. At this desperate time, he suddenly found that he still has a friend, and this friend is like a life-saving straw at this time. And right in front of his eyes.

Ye Gucheng said slowly: "You don't seem to have made friends with me before?"

"But that doesn't stop me from thinking of you as a friend in my heart."

"Even after knowing everything I've done?"

Lu Xiaofeng said with certainty: "Even after knowing everything."

Ye Gucheng was silent for a long time, until the morning fog outside cleared and the sun had quietly risen.He looked at Bai, "Tell me about the choice you gave me."

"If it was Lu Xiaofeng you were waiting for, what would you do?"

Ye Gucheng sneered. "I will act like I was injured by you, and tell Lu Xiaofeng that you are the mastermind of everything."

Bai just blinked slowly, "I expected it."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly and said, "If I didn't know who you were, and I had never been to your yard, I would have believed it. Because I always thought that people like him and Ximen Chuuxue would never Liar."

Ye Gucheng nodded, "But you have ruined all of this." He looked at Bai, who was turning his hands away to touch the scabbard of the knife behind him, wondering what he was thinking.

"I thought about it carefully, and decided to give you two choices." Bai Fang made a move, and said seriously: "One is that I will take you back here, just like you are pretending to be me, and I will replace your identity. The other, After we leave, you act as if nothing happened. But get rid of your messy thoughts and go to a real duel."

Bai added: "Those things you are worried about will not need to be worried after tonight. This is my guarantee to you. "

Lu Xiaofeng looked worried, if possible, he really didn't want to see his two friends meet.Because for swordsmen like them, if they move forward with their swords, they will definitely be in a life-and-death situation, and it is best to lose both sides.

Ye Gucheng's eyes moved slightly.

He looked at Bai with a strange and sighing look, as if he was just about to meet him.

"I really want to see how you wield your knife."

The young man in front of him really didn't look like someone who could wield the unrivaled knife as rumored, and there was almost no trace of domineering and arrogance in him.To be able to reach such a position at such a young age, but still with endless curiosity like when he was a beginner.He couldn't help thinking that when he was the same age as him, he was already a rare young man, but he still couldn't help being complacent about what he had gained in swordsmanship.

"There will be a chance." Bai smiled lightly.

The two left the ruined temple and went back to the city to the teahouse called Taiheju that Lu Xiaofeng passed by.

Lu Xiaofeng asked for a pot of tea, and sighed sadly, "I know now, why you didn't tell me the answer before."

The tea was brought up by Xiao Er, and after drinking a cup, his throat that was about to smoke got some moisture, and Lu Xiaofeng regained his energy. "Did I ever tell you that you are really a very gentle person?"

Bai looked at him thoughtfully, but actually went over every word they said every word.Finally, he replied: "No."

"Then let me tell you now." Lu Xiaofeng's eyes sparkled, "You are really a very gentle person."

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the sun was setting and night was falling.

Before going to the palace, Lu Xiaofeng slipped into Hefangzhai along the back alley.The house had already been lit, and the soft light spilled from the open window and fell on the flowers under the window.

Looking in through the window, one could see Sun Xiuqing sitting at the table with a sad face.Lu Xiaofeng has always known that she is a very beautiful woman, seeing the beauty under the lamp is even more beautiful.It's just that she looks so sad now, and even the lights seem to be dim and desolate because of her.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly didn't want to go in.He already knew that Ximen Chuuxue had left.Of course he left, he regards drawing a sword as a sacred thing, so every time he goes to kill people, he has to prepare for a long time, let alone this duel.So now there is only one light in the room, with his wife, the beautiful but sad woman.

He has never been good at handling this kind of scene.So he just stood in the courtyard, stood for a while and then left.It was already dark when he left, and a bright moon quietly climbed into the night sky.

The full moon had risen, and he had no time to lose.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is in the Gate of Supreme Harmony, and the Jinshuiyudai River outside the Gate of Supreme Harmony looks like a golden water and jade belt under the moonlight, sparkling.

Lu Xiaofeng came to Tianjie under the moonlight, entered Donghua Gate, Longzong Gate, and then turned into the Meridian Gate under the Phoenix Tower of Dragon Tower, finally arrived at the city within the city, the forbidden area within the forbidden area. (Note: Excerpted from Chapter [-] of Lu Xiaofeng's Legendary Decisive Battle)

Along the way, there is one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps, and the guards patrolling back and forth are closely guarded according to the shift.There are also specially hired martial arts masters to ambush in the dark. If someone without a ribbon dares to break in, they will attack in groups in the next moment.

There were already many people by the Yudai River, and there were not many familiar faces among the waiting crowd.He has already seen the honest monk, the Mu Taoist from Wudang, the flower butterfly Hu Tiehua, the six-and-a-half-cent "low-headed dragon" Di Feijing and the eldest lady Lei Chun, and he even saw the sharp spear and blood sword, the little prince Fang Ying. .

But so many people came, none of them could go in, and they were all stopped at the door by Yin Xian, the master of the inner circle.

His face was ashen, and he said with a serious face: "I know that you are all top figures in the martial arts, but I also hope that you know that this is not a teahouse or wine shop. If you want to chat and laugh, you may have come to the wrong place."

Everyone had no choice but to be a little quieter, after all, this is really not a place suitable for chatting.

Fang Yingkan asked with a smile: "I don't know, but I can get in?"

Yin Xian bowed to him, but his expression was still not very good. "If you have a certificate, of course you can."

The Jianghu people present handed out the silk ribbons they had prepared long ago, Fang Yingkan also took out his own heel, "Here, this is it." He handed it to Yin Xian.

Yin Xian carefully inspected them one by one, and when Fang Ying saw them, his face showed embarrassment. "Although these are said to be color-changing satins, they are not the ones we sent out."

"No?" Master Fang Xiaohou was still smiling, but it made people's scalp numb unconsciously.

But Yin Xian still bite the bullet and said: "It's really not, each of the silks and satins sent out has a unique mark."

This is fun, basically half of the powerful figures in the martial arts can't get in, so it's so embarrassing to be blocked outside.

Lu Xiaofeng pushed aside the crowd, he and Hu Tiehua looked at each other in tacit understanding, and handed over his ribbon, neither of them cared about Fang Ying's dangerous eyes, and the number of people behind him who were secretly thinking .

Yin Xian's face softened a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's true. The two of you can go in now. After passing the big platform and going in, the big hall is the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Both Lu Xiaofeng and Hu Tiehua's lightness kung fu are top-notch, they are chasing after each other like a competition, and they have gone three or four zhang away in one run.This is also helpless, they are afraid that if they stay any longer, someone will rack their brains to grab the ribbon in their hands.

Under the moonlight, the Hall of Supreme Harmony looks majestic, and the cornices seem to be catching clouds.The glazed tiles on the roof are shining, and under the moonlight, it looks even more magnificent, not like the world.

When Lu Xiaofeng and Hu Tiehua landed on the towering ridge of the palace, the owners of the other silk ribbons, Hua Manlou, Su Mengzhen, Chu Liuxiang, and another Lu Xiaofeng met in the cloth shop of Jin Wang Zhao Bai, who seemed to be called Qin Qin. Yi's cold-faced young man.are already there.

Lu Xiaofeng walked to Huamanlou and asked, "Shall we go now?" He still hadn't forgotten what Zhao Bai said about testifying.

But Bai didn't forget what he heard about those people planning to poison him. He forgot to tell Lu Xiaofeng about it, but he still remembered entrusting it to Huamanlou before leaving.

So Hua Manlou shook his head, "No, he said that the plan has changed, and he will pick us up when the time comes."

So Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking.

The author has something to say: writing on a single computer is extremely sad.

The chapter of the ending article next door is locked, but I don't know how to change it at all.Very big head.
