[Comprehensive martial arts] The city lord is famous

Forbidden City.

The winter in the north is ushering in the coldest season, and the day Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue promised has finally come.

The decisive battle will be at night, and Ye Gucheng came a little earlier in the sunset, but there are already many people around the Forbidden City earlier than him, eager to know the outcome of the two swordsmen.

Li Xun Huan glanced at the crowd and recognized several casino owners.These people cared about the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue just because of how much money they could earn.

"These days in the capital are very lively." Dongfang Bubai said: "In order to attract more people to participate in this game, there are rumors in the capital that Ye Gucheng has been seriously injured and it is impossible to win, and it is also rumored that Ximen Chuuxue is deeply in love. , Unintentional swordsmanship, it is impossible to win. In short, all kinds of rumors confuse the public, and the predicted winner is different every day. Leaving aside the result of the duel, the bosses in the capital have made a lot of money."

While speaking, several people had already arrived at the gate of the Forbidden City, and the Ouchi guards were waiting here in person, but they couldn't control the surprised expression on their faces when they saw that Ye Gucheng was not the only one coming.

Li Xun Huan smiled gently: "You look very surprised."

The guard said embarrassingly: "This...not long ago our boss limited the number of people who can enter the Forbidden City today, you guys..."

Ye Gucheng looked at him coldly: "That's your business."

The guard felt chills from seeing him, his limbs stiffened to get out of the way, and watched the four of them enter the gate of the Forbidden City together.The people guarding outside all ran over seeing this, yelling to go in too. The guard changed his guilty state just now and sneered: "Don't say it's unfair, didn't you see it? It was brought in by City Lord Ye himself. You have to have that ability if you want to enter!"

On the other side, inside the silent and majestic palace walls of the Forbidden City, the four of Ye Gucheng walked along the long and depressing stone road, and met someone waiting for them at the end of the road.

The man saluted them when he saw them, and did not ask who the three people who came with Ye Gucheng were, and took them directly to a palace to wait.

There are too many rooms in the palace, and this place is relatively remote, no one would come here on weekdays, but within a quarter of an hour, the gate of the palace was pushed open vigorously.Ye Gucheng raised his head and saw Lu Xiaofeng rushing in hastily.

He seemed to be in a hurry, Ye Gucheng quietly waited for him to speak, but Lu Xiaofeng just stared at him.

"What's the matter?" Ye Gucheng asked.

Lu Xiaofeng was speechless.

Ye Gucheng got up: "You came with Ximen Chuuxue."

This is not a question, Lu Xiaofeng sighed.I had to admit: "He has arrived."

Ye Gucheng: "Where is he?"

"He's waiting for you on the highest roof of the Forbidden City."

Ye Gucheng: "Okay."

The night in the imperial palace is not as brightly lit as in the market place, it can even be said to be a bit gloomy.Within the palace walls, if there is no row of lanterns to illuminate the front, walking in it seems to be swallowed by darkness.

But this darkness cannot swallow Ye Gucheng.He walked out of the palace, jumped up, and stood on the silver roof under the moonlight, followed by Li Xun Huan, heading straight for the tallest building in sight.

It was originally the place where the emperor went to court, and the terrain was higher than the surrounding palaces, and the emperor's dragon chair was even higher.No one in the world could be taller than that chair, but today, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue chose the roof of this palace.

Or, the person hiding behind chose this place.

The Forbidden City is very quiet tonight, except for a few masters who are also around the Golden Luan Hall, waiting to watch the battle, it seems that there is no one alive in the entire palace.Li Xunhuan followed Ye Gucheng, quickly passed the palace walls, and looked down at the empty imperial city.

It's very strange, even if the emperor and concubines have already rested at this time, don't the eunuchs and maids in the palace need to be on duty at night?Don't the guards need to patrol?

His doubts didn't last long, and under the moonlight, Ximen Chuixue's figure standing on the roof gradually became clear.Ye Gucheng's eyes were bright, and his speed was astonishingly fast, and he appeared in front of Ximen Chuuxue almost in the next second.

Li Xunhuan stopped on another roof, Lu Xiaofeng followed closely, followed by Dongfang Bubai and Zhu Yao.There were a few people not far away from them, Li Xun Huan recognized Taoist Mu and an honest monk among them, and these people had put in all their effort to witness today's unrivaled battle.

"I asked Ximen Chuuxue, he didn't write any war posts, but he received a letter from Baiyun City." Lu Xiaofeng said next to Li Xun Huan: "There is a big problem in this matter."

Li Xun Huan looked back at him and said with a smile, "But Ximen Chuuxue is still here."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "He said that City Lord Ye will definitely come, so he must come too."

Since they're coming anyway, why bother stopping them?This duel may be a matter of life and death, but it is just the simplest wish of the two swordsmen.

Li Xun Huan looked at the two people standing opposite each other on the top of the Golden Luan Hall from a distance.They are also dressed in white, with the same awe-inspiring sword aura, and the same indifference.But they are also different. Ye Gucheng is as cold as a nine-day fairy, and under the moonlight, he feels unattainable.The coldness of Ximen Chuuxue is like a winter plum, which blooms proudly in the wind and snow.

The two of them are very similar, but very different, just like their swordsmanship, although they are equally domineering, they walk a completely different path of swordsmanship.

On the Golden Luan Hall, two equally young white-clothed swordsmen stood opposite each other, and the silent winter night was also more chilling.

Ye Gucheng looked at Ximen Chuuxue who was exactly the same as he imagined, and smiled: "I think you will come because you received a letter from Baiyun City."

Ximen Chuuxue: "You also received my letter."

Ye Gucheng: "I didn't write to you."

Ximen Fuxue: "If it were you, I would not choose to write this way."

The two letters that made them appear here together may have been a conspiracy at all, and what the people who planned these wanted had nothing to do with them.However, facing the long-awaited opponent at this time, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue smiled at each other, and tacitly decided to ignore all the doubts behind the whole matter for the time being.

They have swords in their hands, and there are exciting opponents standing opposite them. This is another open place suitable for sword fighting.What is there to hesitate?

Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue drew their swords at the same time.With a simple movement, the sound of the weapon being unsheathed pierced the silence of the winter night, leaving an echo that seemed to reverberate in everyone's ears for a long time.The two swords shone coldly under the moonlight, and following the two swordsmen's strikes, there was a whistling sound of wind, and the sword energy poured in overwhelmingly, almost knocking the surrounding spectators off the roof.Zhu Yao failed to stand still and fell backwards, only to be pulled back by Dongfang Bubai.

Those two moves were too fast. In just a few breaths, hundreds of moves have been made. Among the people watching the battle, only a few must be very focused to keep up with their speed, and more people can only watch. Seeing the two afterimages, Zhu Yao couldn't even see the afterimages clearly.

The sound of swords colliding with each other shook the entire Forbidden City, and the lingering sound echoed out of the palace walls and gradually disappeared in the silent streets of winter nights.If you don't witness it with your own eyes, who would have thought that Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue's swords are so overbearing, and their skills are so profound that they have surpassed the world's understanding of them.

Watching this battle, Lu Xiaofeng didn't want any of them to perish.However, the sword was in the hands of those two, and all he could do was watch and pray.

In the reverberation of the sword's cry, other voices in the Forbidden City became difficult to be noticed.All eyes were on the top of the Golden Luan Hall, only Dongfang Bubai suddenly turned his head and looked at the dark street outside the palace.

Li Xun Huan noticed his movements and listened attentively, his expression gradually became serious: "Here we come."

Lu Xiaofeng was at a loss: "What's coming?"

Li Xunhuan signaled him to listen carefully.

The night wind was mixed with the footsteps of thousands of people in the distance. The sound should have been easy to hear, but at this moment it became subtle amidst the sword sounds of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue.

At the gate of the imperial city, black-armored soldiers suddenly poured out from several surrounding streets. The guards guarding the gate were caught off guard, and before they had time to call for help, their throats had already been cut.The vermilion gate slowly opened, and the black-armored soldiers entered silently. Although their footsteps were much lighter on purpose, a team of thousands of people was still enough to shake the entire imperial city.

The sound of footsteps, the clash of weapons and armor gradually approached, and several Ouchi guards who were watching the battle around finally noticed the unusual tension in the wind, and immediately left without looking back.As soon as they left, the rest of the audience also hesitated, and in the end they all chose to leave in order to avoid trouble.

"It's King Nan." Li Xun Huan said.At this time, there were only four of them left around the Golden Temple.Snowflakes suddenly fell in the sky, Li Xun Huan looked up, and at some point, the bright moon in the sky also turned an ominous red.

"This is Nanwang's plan." Dongfang Bubai laughed: "He wants to rebel, why bother?"

Zhu Yao said: "Because he felt that his military strength was not as good as the emperor's, so he could only catch him by surprise. Not only did he have to catch him by surprise, but he also wanted to make all the masters in the palace leave the emperor's side. What could be more exciting than the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue? People let go of their tasks, and the eyes of the entire Forbidden City are drawn away."

The snow fell on Li Xun Huan's eyelashes and gradually melted.He looked at the two people in the Golden Luan Hall, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue were not affected at all, still immersed in their battle.Nanwang or Emperor, a palace coup is coming, nothing can make them put down their swords.

Dark clouds were gathering above the imperial city, like a vortex, and the snow gradually grew larger, covering the blood-red moon.Li Xunhuan looked at the sudden change in the sky, and always felt that everything seemed to be controlled by a stronger force at this moment.That power came from heaven, from the way of heaven that had been looking down on them.

Li Xun Huan looked to his side, and Zhu Yao was also looking up at the sky, with a sharpness in his eyes that had never been seen before.
