Big and small bets/games are still going on in the capital. Some people get lucky and some lose money blindly, but nothing can stop people's desire to continue gambling.Even if the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City is over, the outcome has already been decided; even on the eve of the decisive battle, everyone is like a prophet, analyzing the number of winners and losers with extreme certainty and miraculously. It's just a small episode in their lives. This battle is over. No matter who wins or loses, who lives or dies, they can live their lives as usual, and they don't know who will be the biggest winner in the end. .

Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, was defeated and died, and the sword god Ximen Chuuxue became an undefeated myth. This is a fact recognized by everyone.

I don't know how many people in the Jianghu suddenly appeared who sneered at Ye Gucheng and turned to flatter Ximen Chuuxue's swordsmanship.

Generally speaking, people always like to chase the winners and trample the losers under their feet.

However, the truth of that battle has already become a secret forever with the moonlight gradually setting on the top of the Forbidden City that night.

As one of the few people who knew the truth, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng were definitely not in a good mood.

In any case, they never thought that Ye Gucheng died for that reason.

The whole story started when Lu Xiaofeng rescued Chen Youyu from the Forbidden City, and it happened that Hua Manlou and Chen Yuanyuan rushed back to the capital to meet him that night.

That night, the four of them got together to meet and carefully described the situation they encountered. During the conversation, the clues that were disorderly and disorderly suddenly became a little clueless.

Hua Manlou and Chen Yuanyuan rescued Chen's father in Nanwang's mansion, and discovered Huo Xiu's intention to collude with Nanwang's rebellion by the way.And Chen Youyu also brought even more shocking news from the Forbidden City - the people who assassinated Ouyang Qing in the Yiqing Court that night and kidnapped Chen Youyu were the same group, except for the lama, there was also a white-faced old man who was Lu Xiaofeng. The manager Wang I met in the Forbidden City was exactly Huo Xiu and Nanwang's confidantes, and the southern Tibetan lama had always been a member of Nanwang.

On the night when Ximen Chuuxue met Emei Sixiu, Chen Youyu went out to buy candied haws after dinner, and accidentally ran into a group of them in action, which is why he was taken away.

"It turned out that they were so bold that they hid directly in the Forbidden City." Chen Yuanyuan took his sister's hand and said, "No wonder we couldn't find you no matter how hard we looked."

"The reason why I was locked up in the eunuch's den instead of being directly killed by Director Wang and the lama was because a man in white said, 'She is just a yellow-haired girl, there is no need to do anything'. I heard them with my own ears Calling the man in white the city lord, although he just accidentally slipped the word, he immediately changed his title."

After Chen Youyu finished speaking, he met the shocked expressions of Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng.

"In this world, there is only one city lord who can sneak into the Forbidden City at will and wear white clothes." Lu Xiaofeng murmured.

"But why..." Hua Manlou was deeply confused, "The owner of Baiyun City is rich in the world, he has fame, fortune, and money, and besides, he has no interest in women. This kind of thing?"

"Is it for power?" Lu Xiaofeng wondered, "From what I know, he has almost no other pursuits except for being obsessed with swordsmanship. If it is said that he is seeking power, I would not believe it if he was killed."

Chen Yuanyuan suddenly said, "After waking up, my father told me what he found in the Nanwang Mansion. I think... maybe it has something to do with it..."

Twenty years ago, the Jinpeng Dynasty fell, and Huo Xiu, as one of the four confidant courtiers, took away a huge amount of wealth for the purpose of restoring the country.

At first, Huo Xiu actively lobbied the Communist Party to send troops to help the Jinpeng Dynasty restore the country.At that time, Nanwang, who was in his prime, had a very close relationship with the first emperor, and was summoned to discuss this matter in private.Different from his brothers and sisters on the surface, Nan Wang actually had a different heart behind his back.Huo Xiu's appearance made him keenly aware that this would be an excellent opportunity.Therefore, he secretly communicated with Huo Xiu, intending to use the wealth in Huo Xiu's hands to rebel, and his condition was to promise Huo Xiu that if he succeeded in ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, he would support Huo Xiu as the emperor of the Jinpeng Dynasty.

But Huo Xiu never planned to become emperor, so he politely declined Nanwang.But Nan Wang didn't stop there, he tried to persuade him softly several times.Gradually, Huo Xiu was a little shaken.He doesn't like power, but likes money, and Nan Wang is very smart to see this point, and keeps drawing beautiful pictures in front of his eyes, which makes the greed in Huo Xiu's heart slowly aroused, and gradually expands and grows , until the end, he finally agreed to cooperate with King Nan. After the matter was completed, he didn't want the throne, but only money.

Nanwang was very happy to hear that, people who only love money are the best to control, so he secretly recruited soldiers and horses with peace of mind, gathered a group of masters from the Jianghu, and wanted to take advantage of the late emperor's unpreparedness to launch a palace coup.If successful, these masters can be used to control the entire martial arts world. When the time comes, the government and the wild will collude, and the world will not be afraid of being unstable.

Among these masters, the leader is Ye Gucheng's father.

At that time, the top swordsman, dressed in white, came from nowhere, and his martial arts were also unfathomable. In the martial arts, there are people who admire him, and some people despise him.But since Father Ye singled out the masters of the Seven Sects, the voices of questioning have become much quieter, and more and more people have followed him.

When people are young, they always fantasize that one day they will be able to stand out and become famous in the world, but Ye's father chose to use the hand of Nan Wang to control the entire martial arts world to achieve his goal.There is nothing wrong with this, but he chose the wrong springboard.

At that time, when the young Hua Ruling and Chen Zhan were wandering around in the rivers and lakes, they accidentally smashed through their conspiracy. At the same time, because they couldn't bear the humiliation, the seven sects united to challenge Father Ye and the masters behind him.It was really a dangerous and vicious battle. The Xiaoxiao disciples in the opponent's master repeatedly used tricks and tricks secretly, but fortunately, the seven sects finally joined forces to defeat the opponent.

In this battle, sects such as Emei, Wudang, Shaolin, and Tianqinmen suffered heavy losses. Mrs. Hua also suffered from the strange poison of Yunnan "Nirvana" in order to save her husband Hua Ruling, and the young Huamanlou was even more poisoned. Blind, and Father Ye also died in this fierce battle.

However, through this battle, a new generation of young masters also began to emerge and become the backbone of the martial arts in the future.

Nan Wang hadn't raised his troops yet, and the chips in his hands had suffered such a major blow, so he naturally didn't dare to act rashly.But at the same time, the bloody turmoil in the martial arts also reminded the first emperor, so that he had to start to be vigilant if someone wanted to take the opportunity to rape him, so a round of large-scale cutting of the feudal clan began.

Being in the royal family is a great fortune, but also a great sorrow.Once suspicious, the closer the person is, the more untrustworthy they are.

The King of Nan knew this well, and before the late Emperor could catch him, he took the initiative to ask to become a vassal in Tibet.The first emperor readily agreed.From then on, Nan Wang no longer had the slightest family affection to care about.In the past 20 years, Nanwang has never let go of his rebellious thoughts, but the more he thinks about it, the more useless his body becomes. Until a few months ago, he became terminally ill and had to invite famous doctors from all over the world to Nanwang's mansion for treatment.

Huo Xiu changed his name and surname in the past 20 years. He transformed from an old man in the old dynasty to the chief executive of the first floor of Tsing Yi Building.But as he got richer, his desire for money only increased.Seeing that King Nan will return to the west soon, he will not be so stupid as to continue betting on him.Accidentally, he discovered that the grown-up son of Prince Nan was extremely similar to the current emperor, which made him ecstatic.

The son of the Southern Prince is young and vigorous, and has not been involved in the world deeply, so he is naturally very easy to control.Holding this trump card in his hand, Huo Xiu on the one hand promised Nanwang to find the Lingchuan blood lotus for him to save his life; Even inviting Sikong Zhaixing to come has become a trick for him.He had a great time directing and performing this big play by himself, and seeing Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng being played around by him all the way, he couldn't be more proud, and felt that he was simply the biggest winner in life.

Therefore, people should not be too complacent, because if they are too complacent, they will easily get carried away.Huo Xiu was immersed in the atmosphere of "everything is under my control", and even forgot to guard against one person.This person is Chen Zhan.

Chen Zhan has been hiding his name for 20 years, practicing medicine to help the world.Until a few months ago, he wanted to return to the Central Plains from Tibet early, because the 20-year period had come, and he had to use Lingchuan blood lotus to renew Mrs. Hua's life, but when he left, he found that Nan Wang was looking for a famous doctor in the world to help her. He treated himself, so he wanted to find out about King Nan and see what he had become, so he took off the notice and went directly to the palace.

"My father said that he relied on his medical skills in Nanwang's mansion at that time, and was quite trusted. Even when Nanwang was handling political affairs, he could follow him without retreating. But when he saw Huo Xiu bringing Ye Gucheng in , I was taken aback, as if seeing the man in white reborn, from then on, he knew that the conspiracy 20 years ago was not over yet." Chen Yuanyuan said.

So Chen Zhan kept a low profile to inquire about the news in the palace. When he knew that Huo Xiu was going to find the blood lotus in Lingchuan, he knew that his identity should not be hidden from the old fox for a long time, so he pretended to continue treating Nanwang while secretly Write a letter to Chen Yuanyuan, asking her to rush back to the medicine house immediately, and take Lingchuan blood lotus to the south of the Yangtze River to rescue Mrs. Hua.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Huo Xiu to discover this matter.He not only imprisoned Chen Zhan in the secret room of Nanwang Mansion, but also used Chen Zhan's pigeons to find the location of Lingchuan Medicine House, and sent someone to steal the Lingchuan blood lotus hidden underground.Moreover, in order to make this situation more realistic, he sent people from Tsing Yi Building to steal the blood lotus, and at the same time hired Sikong Zhaixing to steal the same thing with a lot of money.

All of this was within Huo Xiu's plan. When Sikong Zhaixing arrived at Lingchuan Medicine House, the people in Qingyi Building had already stolen the blood lotus according to Huo Xiu's arrangement, and they were still putting the blood lotus in the box containing it. There was a note on it that said "Feng leans on the dangerous fence, it is difficult to make a sound, and the flowers are all over the building without fragrance", the purpose is to lure Lu Xiaofeng into the game, but he knows that Lu Xiaofeng is a very smart person, if Huamanlou is not involved, then Lu Xiaofeng will never be fooled.
