Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

Ye Gucheng was obsessed with swordsmanship, and it was time to create a new sword style, and he had a lot of insights from the swordsmanship that Tao Shuobai danced, so he retreated immediately.The length of this retreat is uncertain, but Ye Gucheng still remembers to tell the butler not to treat the distinguished guests slowly.

Tao Shuobai didn't care about it, after seeing the whole Baiyun City, there was nothing abnormal except for the maid named Lianqing.He observed Lianqing secretly, and finally understood the other party's mind and purpose.

This woman Lianqing, if you use modern terms, is Ye Gucheng's fan, and she has always been brooding about the death of the city lord in the original book.When she crossed over, she happened to be a fisherman from a small island nearby, and she heard that Baiyun City would recruit maids every few years, so she moved her mind.It was helpless for her to do so. The fishing family she lived in was too poor, and she was the only one left, so it was not a problem to always rely on neighbors for help.Now that she has the opportunity to enter Baiyun City, she can not only have a place to live in, but also be close to the male god in her heart, which may change the fate of Ye Gucheng, so she worked very hard after coming to Baiyun City. Hardworking and diligent, she stood out from this group of maids and won the favor of the teacher.

It's just that when Lianqing accidentally learned that the city lord had entertained a distinguished guest named Tao, his expression was a little subtle.

Peach?who is it?

Lianqing is sure that there is no such person in the original book, but she dare not conclude that the other party is the person mentioned. After all, this is a real world, and everything not mentioned in the book will be completed by itself.She secretly paid attention to it for a while, that Mr. Tao was very low-key and didn't like to go out, she saw that there was nothing unusual, so she gradually forgot about it.

Lianqing was still thinking, if the city lord values ​​Mr. Tao so much, it would be great if Mr. Tao was a friend of the city lord.Ye Gucheng in the book is too cold and lonely, even if he doesn't feel it himself, there are many people who feel sorry for him. In the end, Lu Xiaofeng is actually his only friend.Lianqing was still thinking, if the city lord could have met and become friends with Lu Xiaofeng earlier, maybe the fate could have been changed?After all, Lu Xiaofeng is the son of luck.But when she thought of Mu Taoist, Jin Jiuling, etc., who were originally Lu Xiaofeng's friends, but later turned into behind-the-scenes bosses, trying to design Lu Xiaofeng failed, and instead lost her own life, she felt that if the city lord really became friends with Lu Xiaofeng first, the last The fate is also the same as that of Mu Daoren and others.

Tao Shuobai sees that Lianqing's mind is still pure, so she lets her do what she wants.

Half a month later, Tao Shuobai bid farewell to the housekeeper.

The butler was taken aback, and quickly said: "But it's not enough to be negligent? The young master is an honored guest of the city lord. Before retreating, the city lord repeatedly told him to serve the young master well. This..."

"Don't worry about it, butler. I have other things to do. The city lord is still in seclusion, so I don't want to disturb you. Let the butler pass it on. Presumably when the city lord leaves the customs, he will also go to the Central Plains, and we will see each other again." Tao Shuobai understood clearly, No matter how exquisite the sword moves you think you have created, you still need to verify them in actual combat, and then gradually improve them by checking for omissions and filling in gaps.A wonderful sword technique cannot be achieved by just relying on one's own imagination.

Seeing what he said, the steward no longer insisted, but carefully prepared all kinds of farewell gifts.

When Tao Shuobai walked to the gate of the city mansion, he saw a rather gorgeous carriage parked outside, the housekeeper said: "I have ordered someone to prepare the boat, please come aboard."

As soon as Tao Shuobai got into the carriage, he saw that the interior of the carriage was also extraordinary. There was a small magnet table in the middle, and a wooden plate was placed on it. Inside were several ingots of gold and silver and several hundred-denomination silver bills.Tao Shuobai slightly raised his eyebrows when he saw this.

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "I saw that the young master did not bring a salute, so he must have come out in a hurry. I wanted to buy something for the young master, but I was afraid that it would not suit the young master's wishes."

Tao Shuobai changed his mind a bit and understood.Ye Gucheng must have explained something.The way he appeared that night was too strange, even though Ye Gucheng never asked, but he might not have no thoughts in his heart, so there was a section of giving money.In fact, Tao Shuobai was not prepared earlier, not to mention that he is used to using storage bags, and has lived in the desert for more than 200 years without using gold and silver.

"Thank you." Tao Shuobai accepted it frankly.

There was already a big boat waiting at the pier, with the banner of Baiyun City on it, and four neatly dressed and beautiful maids stood at the bow.As soon as Tao Shuobai boarded the boat, the boat set off quickly.

"Master Peach, the bow of the ship is very windy, and there are refreshments in the cabin, do you want some?" A lingering female voice came from behind.

"En." Tao Shuobai had nothing to do, turned around and walked into the cabin, glanced at the maid from the corner of her eye, it was Lianqing.

Lianqing is just 13 years old this year, and she is the most outstanding among the newcomers. This time she has a place to entertain distinguished guests.This is both an opportunity and a test for them. They can use what they have learned on weekdays. As long as they don't displease the distinguished guests, they will pass.This is exactly what it means to be clear, and you can observe the distinguished guests at a close distance.

When she stood at the bow of the boat and waited for the distinguished guests, she was very surprised to see Tao Shuobai getting off the carriage.For a moment, she only thought of one word: Birds of a feather flock together!She just said, for a high-altitude flower like the city lord, the distinguished guests who value it are naturally not ordinary. This young peach has outstanding appearance, temperament and posture, as if he is a first-class male god like the city lord.

Lianqing was a little nervous, but she found that Mr. Tao's aura was not aggressive, and he seemed to have a good temper, even though he looked very cold and reticent.It's not that Lianqing travels without any benefits. She can perceive the changes in other people's emotions. For her as a maid, this skill is very useful, and it is a sharp tool for observing words and expressions.

However, the casual glance that Mr. Tao gave just now made her feel as if she was overwhelmed by the mountain, soaked in the cold pool, and seemed to be seen through from the inside to the outside, and couldn't help shivering.

She immediately lowered her head lower, and made a more submissive appearance, her face turned pale with horror in her heart.

Tao Shuobai didn't do it intentionally, it was just his instinctive reaction when he sensed something was spying on him.If he really had the heart to look over, his spirit would definitely collapse.

That's right, Lianqing's golden finger is spiritual power, which is different from Luo Biyun back then.Her spiritual power is a kind of talent, just like it is only a few times more sensitive than ordinary people. When she uses it consciously, she can feel other people's emotions, or if someone's emotions fluctuate too much, she will also be caught by her.But if someone notices her prying and goes back in shock, she will be backlashed, ranging from vomiting blood to dizziness, to threatening her life.

Hmm... Although it scared her just now, it was a blessing in disguise for her, at least it made her more cautious in the future.This small world is dominated by martial arts, and there are many masters. The more masters, the sharper their perception and the stronger their spirit. If they accidentally bump into these people, it is not for fun.

When the boat docked, Tao Shuobai bid farewell to the people in Baiyun City and planned to buy a horse for transportation.

The housekeeper of Baiyun City gave a total of 1000 taels of gold, silver and silver tickets, more than enough to buy a horse.This bay red horse is not considered a top-notch horse, but it has a strong body and strong blood, and it is a good means of transportation.He rode on the horse and walked slowly in the direction of the strange soul he felt. After all, he was not in a hurry.

Traveling all the way to the mountains and rivers, I heard a lot of anecdotes about the rivers and lakes. Today, when I was walking on the road in the forest, I suddenly heard a strange noise.

He patted the horse's head, and the horse consciously walked to the side of the road and stood still.

Less than a mile away from here, there were fights and sword clashes, but there was not much noise, it seemed to be a dispute between the rivers and lakes.As soon as he released his consciousness, the first thing he saw was a young man in white, with a stern face, cold eyes, and a sword in his hand that was even faster and colder.The man he was fighting with was dressed in brown clothes and had a fierce face. He was about thirty years away, and he was wielding a broad-backed machete in his hands.At the beginning, the young man in white seemed to be probing, but also seemed a little unfamiliar. After a few moves, the sword became faster, and finally pierced the sword into the opponent's chest.

The young man pulled out his sword and blew lightly on the blade, blood beads rolled down the blade, the blade was as clean as if it had never been stained with blood.

Ximen blows snow!

Tao Shuobai recognized the identity of the other party, and also saw the gap between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng at this time.Ye Gucheng had already created the Flying Immortal who would later astound the world, and Ximen Chuixue was only fourteen or five years old, so he may have just come out of the rivers and lakes to practice.Ximen Chuuxue has his own rules in training, he only goes out four times a year, and only kills one person each time.Ximen Chuuxue's sword was still a little raw, but it was not hard to see how unstoppable it would be once polished.

They will eventually be rivals, and there will be a battle.

He thought of the maid in Baiyun City again, and he was looking forward to it, to see where the plot would go this time.

He stopped paying attention to Ximen Chuuxue and rode on.

Three days later, in a small shop in the wilderness, Tao Shuobai saw Ximen Chuuxue.In front of Ximen Chuuxue was a bowl of white water, two boiled eggs on a white porcelain plate, and nothing else.

Ximen Chuuxue looked at him and made an inviting gesture: "Please."

Tao Shuobai got off his horse, sat in front of Ximen Chuuxue, and declined the hospitality of the shop owner.Feeling that sitting so dry is boring, he took out a jug of wine and a wine glass from the bamboo basket tied on the horse, and poured himself a glass of peach blossom wine.The bamboo basket was used to hide from people's eyes and ears, and he never poured wine for Ximen Chuuxue, because he thought that Ximen Chuuxue never drank.

Although the two of them were far apart along the way, Tao Shuobai knew that Ximen Chuuxue was always in front, and even if Ximen Chuuxue didn't notice it at first, she could feel it after these few days.This was Ximen Chuuxue's first time going out, but he was very vigilant, seeing that the other party remained silent, he decided to cut straight to the point.

So Ximen Chuuxue asked him: "Your Excellency is following me?"

"I am indeed on the same road as you. I heard that the scenery of Wanmei Villa is like a fairyland, so I want to visit it." The reason why Tao Shuobai said this is not a lie, his destination is indeed Wanmei Villa.After getting closer, he checked carefully with his spiritual sense, and found that the ghost was in Wanmei Villa, and it was the granddaughter of the old gardener who was in charge of cleaning and maintaining the plum blossom forest in the villa.

It is quite similar to Lianqing, the maid of Baiyun City.

"I am Ximen Chuuxue, please give me your name."

"Peach Shuobai."

Ximen Chuuxue frowned slightly, he had never heard of this name before.Although it was his first time to step into the rivers and lakes, he knew the news of the rivers and lakes very well, but he had never heard of such a No. [-] person, and judging by his expression, he did not seem to be lying.The reason why Ximen Chuuxue was vigilant was that he couldn't see through Tao Shuobai's details, and he specially observed his hands. Although they were hands holding a sword, there was no trace of holding a sword.

Ximen Chuuxue is not a cowardly person, even though he is still very young.

He said: "Wanmei Villa is my property. Since Mr. Tao is interested, you can come to the villa as a guest."

"Thank you, Master Ximen, for your hospitality."

Tao Shuobai feels that it is easy to associate with swordsmen. The sword is a gentleman's soldier, and a good swordsman always adheres to certain principles and styles. The Ye Gucheng Ximen Chuuxue he met one after another happens to be such a person.

It was the end of autumn at this time, and Wanmei Villa was located in the middle of the mountain forest. The leaves in the forest were either yellow or red, and it was quite desolate and poignant in late autumn.When the owner returned to the manor, the housekeeper seemed to have heard the news long ago, and opened the door to welcome him. The housekeeper knew about Ximen's owner's temper, so he didn't make a big fuss, but everything in the house was well prepared.

Ximen Chuuxue personally led Tao Shuo to a quiet small courtyard adjacent to the plum garden, and said: "There is still some time before the plum blossoms are in full bloom, Mr. Tao can stay here with peace of mind, but if you have any needs, just ask the housekeeper. Let me fix it first." Let’s prepare a banquet in the evening to welcome Mr. Tao.”

After giving some instructions to the housekeeper, Ximen Chuuxue left.

Tao Shuobai was a distinguished guest brought back by the owner himself, so he naturally received the best treatment.

Having nothing to do, Tao Shuobai proposed to go for a stroll in the garden. Although Wanmei Villa has the most plum blossoms, it is not that there are no flowers and plants nearby.Declining the company of the butler, I asked the way, and walked alone to the middle of the garden.

He felt that the ghost was in the garden.

Ximen Chuuxue is a swordsman, he has pursued swordsmanship all his life, and he practiced ruthless swordsmanship, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know how to enjoy life.Just as he only drinks boiled water and eats boiled eggs when he goes out, it’s not that he doesn’t like food, and it’s not just a cleanliness, but killing people is sacred to him.The garden of the villa is elegant and serene, with mountains, waters, plants and trees, all of which reflect the owner's preferences and temperament.There are many varieties of plum blossoms in the garden, but the main one is the big red plum. Ximen Chuuxue loves this kind of warm color like blood. The red plum blossoms in the white snow. Playing a jade flute, blowing a qin sound, or tasting a rare Returning to Zhenniang, it seems that loneliness is also his friend.

Tao Shuobai turned around the rockery, and looked at a slender girl standing by the pool in front of her.The girl is only about ten years old, and the only thing worthy of praise in her appearance is her fair complexion and the persistence in her eyes. Her facial features are indeed ordinary, and she is also the granddaughter of a gardener. She really cannot be found in the villa.

This woman's name is Yao Mei'er, but she thinks she should be called "Unlucky".

In her previous life, Yao Meier liked martial arts. She studied hard since she was a child, and she was about to participate in the competition to gain some fame, but when a thunderbolt struck her, she came here.When she first learned about the world she lived in, she was ecstatic. She felt that her chance had come. In the world of martial arts, she was worried about not being able to learn martial arts?Just as she was making plans for her funeral, a bolt of news hit her that she was the family slave of Wanmei Villa!

Wanmei Villa!Ximen Fuxue!

She remembered what Ximen Chuuxue said to Emei Sixiu: I didn't kill women, but women shouldn't practice swords, and those who practice swords are not women.

Although Ximen Chuuxue had a premise in saying these words, it was Emei Sixiu who wanted to kill him.If Emei Sixiu didn't use swords, Ximen Chuuxue wouldn't do it, but Emei Sixiu all used swords. Once they used swords, they broke away from the role of pure traditional women and belonged to Jianghu people, so Ximen Chuuxue would not regard them as An ordinary weak woman, if he used his sword, he would definitely kill her.

However, it can still be seen that Ximen Chuuxue does not approve of women practicing swordsmanship, perhaps because of traditional masculine psychology, or there are very few women in the Jianghu who have outstanding swordsmanship, but it is terrible for Yao Meier right now.There is such a villa owner, she wants to learn martial arts and swords, how is it possible?

She tentatively asked her grandfather, old man Yao, if he could redeem himself and leave the villa.In the end, old man Yao didn't even ask the reason, and just opened his mouth to scold her for being ungrateful, and said very angrily that if she thought about it again, she would never recognize her as a granddaughter.

Yao Meier was terrified, so she quickly comforted her grandfather, admitted her mistake again and again, and covered up the reason with words.

Although she has only been here for two years, she still has feelings for this grandfather. She also learned that Yao Meier’s family had undergone great changes when she was young, and her parents were both dead. died.Old man Yao is loyal and responsible, thinking of this kindness, and he has the housekeeper to be kind enough to work in the villa to settle down. He has long put the villa and its owner first, how could he let his granddaughter think about leaving?In the eyes of old man Yao, that is disloyalty and injustice!

Yao Meier sighed, looked carefully and saw no one around, so she began to practice boxing.

She has the background of her previous life, and she has established a good relationship with the nurses in the village. She often watches them practice martial arts, and secretly learns them in private.After practicing boxing, she picked up another branch and practiced several moves repeatedly. Although the moves were memorized proficiently, they were only empty in form and lacked any strength.

Sighing again, afraid of being discovered, he left in a hurry.

Tao Shuobai thinks this woman is more interesting than Lianqing from Baiyun City.

Suddenly hearing the sound of the sword breaking behind him, he turned around, picked up the branch that Yao Meier had thrown away just now, and greeted the stabbing sword light.The person holding the sword is Ximen Chuuxue!Seeing that he really responded, Ximen Chuuxue stopped probing, and the sword's posture changed, the sword light was cold and fast, full of murderous intentions, all of them were killing moves that did not leave a retreat, and if he was not careful, there would be no survivors.

Tao Shuobai recalled the sword technique of a cold slaughter fairy, and borrowed it to deal with it.This sword technique is simpler and more direct, more murderous, and more chilling. Even though the branches were unable to withstand the force and it was reduced a little, it still suppressed Ximen Chuuxue's sword.Ximen Chuuxue was startled first and then overjoyed. Not only did he not back down, but he became more excited. The sword light became faster and faster, and he became more and more anxious, and gradually got a bit of the mood of Tao Shuobai's swordsmanship...

This savvy is really amazing!

Tao Shuobai doesn't want to fight to the death with the opponent, he is not a swordsman after all, besides, Ximen Chuuxue's lifelong opponent is Ye Gucheng.He shot out the branch with a burst of internal force, the branch whizzed through the air, and directly missed the black sheath sword in Ximen Chuuxue's hand, piercing his shoulder. Fortunately, Ximen Chuuxue reacted very quickly, following the direction of the branch's force Quickly, defuse the attack, so that the branch is only submerged by half an inch.

Tao Shuobai had made a plan long ago, even if they stabbed all of them, that part would be fatal.

In a battle, Ximen Chuuxue exhausted a lot and was injured again. His face turned pale, but his eyes were extremely bright. Even if you look closely, you can find the slight curvature of his mouth.He is in a good mood, since he learned swordsmanship at the age of seven, even though he has only just come out of the rivers and lakes, he has already fought against many people, and he has never been so happy this time, and he has gained a lot.

Ximen Chuuxue looked at Tao Shuobai, feeling very sorry: "It's a pity that you are not a swordsman, otherwise you will be the opponent I pursue all my life."

Even if Tao Shuobai's swordsmanship is very good, and the killing intent in the sword is awe-inspiring, but there is no sword in his eyes, he just uses other people's swordsmanship, like using a whip, a knife, or a silk, it's just One tool, no difference.Ximen Chuuxue not only felt sorry for the loss of an opponent, but also felt sorry for him, wasting such a good capital for nothing, it was a waste of money!

"I don't know which senior expert created this sword technique?" Ximen Chuuxue asked, not afraid of the pale face from blood loss, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"His name is Han Lu, he is no longer in this world." Tao Shuobai secretly changed the concept.

"Born at the wrong time." Ximen Chuuxue was sad.

That night, Ximen Chuuxue held a banquet in the hall as promised, the table was full of delicacies, and there was also the plum wine brewed by the villa.This plum wine has been buried under the plum tree for ten years, even though it is a pity to know that Tao Shuobai is not a swordsman, Ximen Chuuxue still respects such a person.A person who is not even a swordsman can beat him with a mere ordinary branch, which shows that he also has a lot of insights into the way of swordsmanship.It's not surprising, there are such strange people in the world, although they don't practice martial arts themselves, they have very unique insights when it comes to martial arts.

"Good wine!" Tao Shuobai sniffed the fragrance of cold plums and tasted the wine, it was really good.

Ximen Chuixueruo never drinks alcohol when he is away from home, and rarely does it on weekdays, because alcohol can mess with his sex. As a swordsman, in order to make the sword faster and more accurate, he needs extraordinary control, neither in mind nor in body. Not stable at all.Although there are many people in the Jianghu who like to drink, they will prohibit alcohol when doing things or competing in martial arts, but Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng are even worse.

In the quiet night, a noise was suddenly heard, and then the housekeeper came to report: "Master, there is an unexpected guest in the villa."

Tao Shuobai has not been heard of yet, and is still tasting wine slowly.

Ximen Chuuxue remained motionless, but suddenly shot his chopsticks towards the roof, followed by the sound of broken tiles and footsteps, and then saw a bright red figure falling from the roof.At first glance, it was a young man in a red cloak!

"Bold thief!" the steward shouted, and immediately guards followed the sound and surrounded the courtyard.

Not only did the young man not panic, but he was grinning, holding a jar of plum blossom wine just dug out of the soil in his hand, and his pair of blunt black eyes scanned the hall.At the first glance, there will be no disgust, but it is interesting, only because he is young, besides a pair of eyebrows, he also has two beards that resemble eyebrows. Because of these two beards, he seems to be more stable, but he is really will never exceed the age.

Ximen Chuuxue glanced at him, and asked indifferently: "You came to the villa at night to steal wine?"

The young man was probably caught in the face, a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, and said: "In Xia Lu Xiaofeng, one of my hobbies in life is drinking. I heard that Wanmei Villa has good wine, so I came here to taste it. Owner Ximen, fortunately Will be lucky to meet."

A smile flashed across Tao Shuobai's eyes, thinking that the son of luck in this small world is really funny.

"Is the wine in my villa so delicious?" Ximen Chuuxue suddenly moved while he was speaking, and he didn't know when he drew out the long sword that never left his body when eating or sleeping. The silver-white sword flashed and stabbed at Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng's pupils shrank, and he stepped back quickly, but the sword was too powerful, he could only stretch out two fingers to pinch it.The original sharp sword was clamped!
