Not only King Jinpeng, Shangguan Danfeng, Shangguan Feiyan, and Huo Tianqing all became Huo Xiu's pawns, but even Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Ximen Chuuxue, and Ye Gucheng were actually pushing Huo Xiu's hand unknowingly. An elaborate chess game.

But with the recovery of Skynet, he finally underestimated Huamanlou's brains and luck. The original perfect plan became full of loopholes step by step, making it difficult to repair, until Chen Youyu's accidental encounter brought all the truth to the surface.

From the very beginning, the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City was not just a simple sword fight between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng.Ye Gucheng agreed to fight, although he intended to meet his opponent, but the more important reason was out of selfishness - to avenge his father.

In the battle 20 years ago, the young Ye Gucheng did not witness his father's disastrous defeat with his own eyes, but when someone brought his father's body back to Baiyun City, the shock before his eyes and the rumors that followed were a huge blow to a man who was not deeply involved in the world, only For a young man who respects his father and swordsmanship as a god, it is a more serious blow.Naturally, no one dared to say anything wrong about the late city lord in front of others, but the gossip in the streets and alleys and the pity in the eyes of people unconsciously made Ye Gucheng deeply feel the malice of fate.

From then on, in this world, there is no longer Ye Gucheng, a young boy who occasionally gets praise from his father, and the corner of his mouth will secretly twitch. Only Ye Gucheng, who is aloof and indifferent and almost legendary, is left. Feixian".

If it is said that in the past 20 years, there is only one flame in his heart that has not been extinguished, it is the obsession of "revenge for his father".Huo Xiu is well versed in people's hearts, so how can he not know that this is Ye Gucheng's biggest weakness, as long as he makes use of it a little, he can help him achieve great things.

However, to Huo Xiu's surprise, Ye Gucheng was very talkative. He barely spent any words, so he persuaded Ye Gucheng to agree to pretend to fight with Ximen Chuuxue, but actually entered the palace to coerce the emperor to order the princes, not to mention the entire martial arts world, even the world They were all defeated by his sword, wouldn't it be an excellent opportunity to avenge their father.

Ye Gucheng had no intention of forming an alliance with Huo Xiu, let alone helping him, but as long as he could avenge his father, he would not care about anything else.In his eyes, money, power, or the righteousness of the country are not important.Since his father passed away, he has been alone, so what if he has power and money?What fun does he have without a family, with whom to share it?

But even if Ye Gucheng puts all his energy and sustenance on swordsmanship, his sword is still different from Ximen Chuuxue's.Ximen Chuuxue's sword is the most ruthless sword in the world.Ruthless, so there is no flaw, so terrible.But Ye Gucheng's sword is sharp and aloof, but full of obsession.It was this subtle difference that made Huamanlou able to tell that the person he was fighting with was not Ximen Chuuxue even though his eyes were inconvenient when he fought against Ouyang Qing after rescuing him in the Yiqing Courtyard.

It was this kind of obsession that made Ye Gucheng's sword energy not pure enough, and was finally defeated by Ximen Chuuxue's sword.

On the night of the decisive battle, Lu Xiaofeng, who had an insight into Huo Xiu's conspiracy, told Ximen Chuuxue that the Ye Gucheng who confronted him was actually a fake, and the real Ye Gucheng was preparing to assassinate the emperor in the emperor's palace.At the same time, Hua Manlou, Chen Yuanyuan and Sikong Jiexing had already arrived at the bedroom first, just in case.

When Ye Gucheng saw Ximen Chuixue appearing in front of him and caught the sword that he stabbed at the emperor, he knew that it was time to end.

"Why?" Ximen Chuuxue only asked one sentence.

Ye Gucheng felt guilty and regretful.Ximen Chuuxue is like a mirror, reflecting his ugly heart—in the name of fighting swords, he commits murder.This is a tarnish to the way of the sword and a disrespect to the opponent.He has always claimed to be a swordsman and is loyal to the way of the sword, but he has become a despicable villain unknowingly.He was no longer a qualified swordsman, and he regretted that he could not have a real duel with Ximen Fuxue, and his long-standing psychological defense seemed to become fragile at that moment.Although Ximen Chuuxue wanted to formally fight Ye Gucheng again out of a heart of cherishing talents, but Ye Gucheng at that time was no longer Ye Gucheng, a swordsman, and the ending was self-evident.

To die under Ximen Chuixue's sword was Ye Gucheng's last dignity.

All the big inner guards watched Ximen Chuixue leave with Ye Gucheng's body in his arms, no one dared to stop him, they all felt that the white back was colder and aloof, as if that kind of loneliness, there is no such thing in this world People can solve it.

"Let's ignore their grievances for the time being, how about we settle our accounts?" In the emperor's bedroom, Hua Manlou and his party rescued the emperor behind him, while Lu Xiaofeng asked the old man opposite.

This old man was Huo Xiu who had been missing for a long time. Ever since he discovered Chen Zhan's identity in the Nanwang Mansion and learned that things had changed, he imprisoned Chen Zhan, took away the Lingchuan blood lotus, fled to the capital, and hid in the palace. No wonder he disappeared without a trace, even Sikong Zhaoxing took a lot of effort to find out his hiding place.

Huo Xiu sneered, as if he was very unwilling, "You guys are indeed talented, but the old man is not so easy to give up."

"Stop talking nonsense, where's the Lingchuan blood lotus?" Chen Yuanyuan asked sharply.

"Ha ha, ha ha ha ha," Huo Xiu laughed angrily, "Here it is, do you want to come and get it?" Huo Xiu pointed at his stomach and said.

"You...you ate it?" Chen Yuanyuan was almost out of breath.

"The old man has worked so hard to accumulate wealth all his life. Wouldn't it be a big loss if he doesn't live a few more years?" Huo Xiu laughed. "It is said that Lingchuan blood lotus can 'life and death, flesh and bones', and its effect of prolonging life will definitely not be bad. Let the old man help you verify it."

"Since I've lived my whole life, it's time to take a good rest." Hua Manlou's tone was rare tough. He doesn't like to kill people, but Huo Xiu's hands were covered with blood. I don't know how many people will die innocently.

So this time, Hua Manlou didn't hesitate, and as soon as he finished speaking, he directly used Liu Yunfei's sleeve to attack Huo Xiu, and Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zaixing and Chen Yuanyuan also launched an offensive almost at the same time.Seeing that the situation was not good, Huo Xiu quickly retreated towards the emperor's bedroom. There seemed to be a mechanism there, but Huo Xiu couldn't activate it no matter what.

"Zhu Ting has dealt with the secret passages here, isn't it very strong?" He and Huo Xiu played three tricks in a row, and there were many dangers, but Lu Xiaofeng still didn't forget to tease Huo Xiu.

"Zhu Ting?" Huo Xiu's face turned pale in an instant.

"Yes, Zhu Ting." Chen Yuanyuan said, "The thing like Tsing Yi Building will never happen again. You have committed too many crimes, and you have not paid off all the debts you owed. Today we settled all these accounts together, which is still cheap for you. gone."

While speaking, she raised her wrist, and countless small hidden weapons were shot at Huo Xiu one after another. Those hidden weapons became bright and dazzling due to the reflection of the moonlight coming in from the window, causing people to squint their eyes and obstruct their vision.

A while later, when there was a sound of tinkling in the bedroom, the emperor and the guards were surprised to find that Huo Xiu's expression was ferocious, and he seemed to be unable to believe what happened, but he couldn't even say a word.

Because the handful of copper coins fired by Chen Yuanyuan had already been inserted into the vital points of Huo Xiu's body by Huamanlou's Liuyunfei sleeve and Lu Xiaofeng's Lingxi finger.

The only thing in Huo Xiu's life that he won't push away is probably money.

"Do you understand now? After you die, you won't even be able to take these few copper coins with you, so why bother to think so hard?" Chen Yuanyuan sighed.

After the night of the decisive battle in the Forbidden City, it was rare for the capital to be peaceful for a while.The emperor managed to keep his throne because of eradicating the traitors, so Longyan was overjoyed to reward Lu Xiaofeng with a mansion in an important place in the capital.But Lu Xiaofeng is just a phoenix who can't be held back, he excused himself by saying that he likes to jump around, politely declined the emperor's reward, followed Huamanlou for a stroll back to the south of the Yangtze River, stayed in Baihualou and drank small wine every day , look at the bustle, live comfortably.

The Hua family has been in good spirits lately when there are happy events, and because of the arrival of Chen Zhan and Chen Yuanyuan, every day in the mansion is bustling like a festival.In Master Hua's words, brothers Chen Zhan and niece Yuan Yuan finally returned to Hua's house, and our family was finally reunited, which made the vagabond Lu Xiaofeng sad, always feeling that he, a forgotten outsider, should just stay here obediently. In Baihualou, don't go to Huafu to disrupt the situation.

"Brother Chen, Consummation, come and rest for a while, don't be busy!" Mrs. Hua greeted, she swept away the slump caused by poisoning before, and her face became more and more rosy recently.

Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile, "Your pulse condition has approached to be peaceful. It seems that I was not good at medicine before, and the poison in your body could not be removed. But when my father came, the situation completely improved. I hope you do not blame me."

"Where is it, it's too late for us to be grateful for the great kindness of you father and daughter, so how can we blame you!" Mrs. Hua said quickly.

"That's right, when you came here, not only my wife's condition has improved a lot, but Qitong's eye disease, which has been dying for many years, is almost healed. You are the lucky stars of the Hua family, hahaha!" Hua Ruling said with a hearty smile .

"Speaking of Seventh Brother's eye disease, I have to go see it again. You guys sit down first, and I'm going to Baihualou." Chen Yuanyuan bid farewell to the three elders, and went to Baihualou to give Huamanlou acupuncture and moxibustion treatment. .

Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly backed out of Baihua Building covering his eyes, he thought that he might be really old, didn't the couple in there say they want to cure their illnesses, they are so flirtatious, can their eyes be cured?

It was mid-winter at this time, and the north wind blew, which made the golden bachelor feel a little bit of the desolation of an old bachelor.

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard, "Uncle, why are you covering your eyes? Are you also suffering from eye disease?"

"Bah, bah, bastard, stop cursing me!" Lu Xiaofeng frowned as he watched Chen Youyu walking towards him with a plate of steaming osmanthus cake, and couldn't help but stuff a piece into his mouth. It was sweet and soft, warm and delicious!

"The man inside is molesting your sister, what do you think?" Lu Xiaofeng asked maliciously.

"It should have been like this earlier." Chen Youyu said bitterly.

"..."

"My father has never mentioned my sister's marriage, and I don't know when I will become a brother-in-law..." Chen Youyu looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Yeah, the road is long..." Lu Xiaofeng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Could it be that your father doesn't like Huamanlou?"

"Impossible! My father and brother-in-law have had a long talk all night. When I was inquiring, all my father said were good things about brother-in-law. It is impossible to be dissatisfied."

"Then what's going on?" Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard in bewilderment, "I can't even hand out the red envelopes, my hands are so itchy, my hands are so itchy."

"Maybe it's because my father has spent too much time treating illnesses recently. He always looks very tired, so he has no time to care about other things."

"Yes, I also feel that Uncle Chen's complexion is very bad recently, is he still in good health?"

"Tonight, my sister and I went to visit my father again. He is always like this, he doesn't care about anything once he gets cured." Chen Youyu said.

******

At night, Chen successfully finished Huamanlou's eye disease treatment, and returned to the garden that Hua Ruling specially set up for himself, his father, and his sister.The courtyard was quiet, and I had time to prepare supper for my father. When Chen Yuan saw the light on in his father's room, he walked over, opened the door and entered the room.

"Dad, it's me."

"Oh, it's back to perfection."

"Ah."

"How is the situation in Huamanlou?"

"Brother Qi is recovering very well. Now his eyes can see light and moving objects. I think that in time, he will definitely be able to recover." When Hua Manlou's condition was mentioned, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't restrain his excitement.

"Do you like him?"

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, his father asked so abruptly and directly, Chen Yuanyuan was stunned.

"Daddy thinks he is someone worthy of your entrustment for the rest of your life."

"Father, why did you suddenly mention this..." Chen Yuanyuan's voice became smaller and smaller because of her shyness.

"You're not young anymore. A few years ago, Dad always thought that I delayed you. Fortunately, you met him." Chen Zhan's tone was a little serious.

"Seventh brother is really a good person, and I...I really like him." Chen Yuanyuan finally plucked up the courage and poured out his thoughts to his father.

Chen Zhan suddenly smiled slightly, and a little vicissitudes appeared on his face, "It's so good to be young, it's so good... It's time, it's time..." He said, The body trembled slightly.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Chen Yuanyuan asked anxiously, "Is it because the injury in Nanwang Mansion hasn't healed yet?"

She felt for her father's pulse and was stunned for a while before she said in shock, "How could this be? This pulse... your previous pulse is completely normal. How come, this is... .”

"The oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry." Chen Zhan said calmly.
