me and my vest

When Shi Lu took Xue Bing back to Zhennan Palace, Ye Gucheng's maid was already packing her luggage.

"you are leaving?"

"I'm going back to Baiyun City to prepare for that battle."

The battle he was talking about was not only the battle with Ximen Chuuxue, but also the battle with Gong Jiu and the emperor.

Ye Gucheng's maids were all well trained by the housekeeper of Baiyun City, they retreated one after another when they saw Shi Lu coming, and one of them took Xue Bing carefully.

"If it succeeds, the Ninth Five-Year Master will not be able to compare swords with others, let alone Ximen Chuuxue's swordsmanship is to kill people."

"Although I am very confident, I have to be prepared." Ye Gucheng said, "It is an honor to die at the hands of Ximen Chuuxue, the winner and loser?"

The swordsman in black looked at him quietly.

Seeing him like this, Ye Gucheng had no choice but to sigh, "I won't lose."

"My previous Ye family prepared so much for the restoration of the country, how could I give up easily." Ye Gucheng said again, "I will not lose."

Shi Li was finally satisfied, he turned and prepared to go out.

Although Ye Gucheng had to leave, he could protect Xue Bing by himself, and it was more than enough. After Lu Xiaofeng solved the embroidery thief, Xue Bing would follow him back to Mrs. Xue.

"You want to wait for Lu Xiaofeng?"

"Yes."

"It's better to go back to the South China Sea with me." Ye Gucheng said, "Let Xue Bing stay here, the security of the palace is already strict enough, I will let another person with good medical skills stay with her."

"To the South China Sea?"

"Go to the South China Sea."

"What to do? Do you want my help?"

Ye Gucheng sighed secretly, looking at his confidant in front of him, he couldn't help worrying about him again.This person obviously has peerless martial arts and unparalleled swordsmanship, why does he look so easy to deceive?

Gong Jiu came to him time and time again, lying in front of his house and saying such shameless words, how could he pretend nothing happened?How can I rest assured?

It's not that Lu Xiaofeng is bad, Ye Gucheng has a very clear understanding of himself, he knows that Lu Xiaofeng is better at dealing with people than himself, if he says that he is not good at it, no one will dare to admit that he is good at it.

So Lu Xiaofeng might be better at dealing with people like Gong Jiu, but he is now busy with the Embroidery Bandit case, and Ye Gucheng doesn't think Lu Xiaofeng can understand how terrible Gong Jiu is.

Ye Gucheng made up his mind to take He Guiting away and make him stay away from Gong Jiu.

"That's right, I hope you can come and watch Baiyun City for me." Ye Gucheng said, "During the time I'm preparing, no one can disturb me."

No matter how much business Baiyun City has done in the South China Sea, it will offend as many people. It is only because Ye Gucheng is usually there, so they dare not do anything, but when Ye Gucheng is busy, it is not necessarily so.

"it is good."

-----------

The humid sea breeze came in through the cracks of the windows, the waves beat against the hull one after another, and there seemed to be faint calls of seabirds in the distance.

A very large and luxurious ship sailed steadily on the sea.

Everyone knows that Baiyun City is very rich, but they don't know how rich it is, but now no matter who it is, it only needs to take a look at this ship to understand.

Of course, the city lord’s boat used the best wood. This kind of wood is only available in the South China Sea. The same wood is even as expensive as gold of the same weight. Not only is it very hard, but it is also very light.

The paint painted on the wood is also the best. If this paint is painted on, a barnacle will not grow on the bottom of the boat.

Ye Gucheng pushed open the door of the black-clothed swordsman's room, and their relationship had long ceased to require knocking on the door.

Shi Lu was sitting on a chair wiping the sword with a cloth, of course he didn't bring the cloth with him, this piece was given to him by Ye Gucheng just now.

When the corner of Ye Gucheng's clothes brushed against the door, the black-clothed swordsman happened to look up at him.

"It looks like you're fine."

"Why am I in trouble?"

"Recently, the sea is often windy, and it is not as smooth as before. I am worried that you will not be used to it." Ye Gucheng said while closing the window for him.

"I've been here many times and been on many boats."

Ye Gucheng smiled, "Many people thought the same way before getting seasick."

The two of them stopped talking, Ye Gucheng found a place to sit down, and quietly closed his eyes, if a person practiced sword, he would always have some murderous and sword aura on him, but He Guiting didn't have it, he didn't pull it out When holding a sword, it is like an ordinary person.

Ye Gucheng has practiced swords since he was a child, and he is already used to the sword energy. When he stays with the black-clothed swordsman, although he can't feel the familiar sword energy, he can feel the sword intent. The steady and deep sword intent is like water. The flow made him feel at ease like never before.

Because this person is a peerless swordsman and his confidant.If there is a place in the world where he can sleep with complete peace of mind, there is no other place except He Guiting's side.

After a while, more than a dozen maids filed in. They carried dishes, plates, plates and chopsticks. The last few carried a table, without making a sound during their actions, and retreated after setting a table of dishes. .

On the table is a stewed duck with wax gourd and barley, a crab ball in clear soup, a bowl of steamed Dong Xing Ban and a pot of rice wrapped in lotus leaves.

These are very light. After all, you can't imagine that people like Ye Gucheng are eating pig's trotters or lamb legs, so the people of Baiyun City always prepare some light food for their city lord.

"You can reach Baiyun City in the evening." Ye Gucheng said.

"Ah."

"I'll trouble you later." Ye Gucheng seemed not interested in those delicious food, closed his eyes again, and fell asleep with his sword in his arms.

In the evening, the boat arrived at the port of Baiyun City, and got the news that the city lord was coming back. The sea was closed two hours in advance, and idle people were forbidden to move around.

Two snow-white horses were fed and tied to the pier, waiting for someone to use them.

When Ye Gucheng entered the City Lord's Mansion, he plunged headlong into his study. He wanted to write a letter to Ximen Chuuxue first, and then contact the former loyal ministers hidden in various departments of the court.

Several more copies of the topographic and structural maps of the palace should be made, and the relationship to be managed that night should be clearly explained to the subordinates.

The butler of Baiyun City is an old man who has served the city lord from the previous generation. He grew up watching Ye Gucheng, and he entertained him every time he came.

Of course the butler knew what Ye Gucheng was going to do. Although he was worried, he knew that this was the mission of the Ye family in Baiyun City, so he could only do his best to do what he should do.

"Do you want to rest?" the butler asked.

The black-clothed swordsman shook his head.

The housekeeper sighed, lit many candles in the house, and then hung lanterns on the eaves.

If a place is bright, fewer people can hide in the dark.

Lu Xiaofeng made his own conclusion, he said that He Guiting is a different kind of swordsman, he doesn't care much about things, if he invites, He Guiting will sit in the mud with him.

So Shiru sat under the tree.

This is a pear tree, and the tree has already produced small fruits. Under the light, these small fruits cast shadows on the opposite wall, looking warm and festive.

The aroma of pears wafted in the wind.

The swordsman in black sat quietly under the tree, looking up to count the fruits on the tree.

"This is He Guiting? I think he's dumb, and he's not that good!"

A young man in purple rolled in from the courtyard. He did somersaults three or four times in the air before landing, as if to show off his lightness.

Compared to him, the more than 20 men in black who came in behind him seemed much more reliable. They just stood behind the young man, like silent stone statues.

"Don't you ask me who I am and what I want to do?"

"……Who are you?"

"I am the head of the Hainan Sword Sect! You have to remember it well, because you are going to die here today!"

Shilu gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

In the next instant, blood spilled all over the courtyard, and the aroma of pears was completely overwhelmed by the smell of blood.

Young people are always ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. They seem to feel that the world is so big that they can make a fortune anywhere. Most of the seniors in the world will give them some, because young people always hope.

But this time it's a pity.

The housekeeper poked his head in from behind the door and took a look. He dragged the corpses out by himself. Although his hair and beard were all white, he was also a master when he was young, and he could still drag a few corpses.

After the lamp had been refueled three times and the candles changed once, it was daylight.

In the small yard specially chosen by Ye Gucheng, there is no place to set foot.The black-clothed swordsman's swordsmanship is very high. He only needs to swipe across the neck to kill, but no matter how small the wound is, people will bleed.

When the early morning mist descended, a layer of blood scab solidified on the ground, and the corpses that the housekeeper hadn't had time to move out formed a hill in the corner.

A total of fourteen groups of assassins came yesterday, adding up to hundreds of people. This is just a test. When they confirm that Ye Gucheng is really busy, they will send more and more powerful people.

Ye Gucheng hasn't come out yet.

The butler had no choice but to bring the lunch box here and put it on the stone table under the pear tree to serve the black-clothed swordsman.

But the stone table was already covered with blood, and the only clean person in the yard was the swordsman.

"The city lord has a confidant like you, so I feel relieved." The butler moved the corpses and dug the pit all night, but he still seemed to be in high spirits, with bright eyes. Strange thing."

The black-clothed swordsman quietly picked up a spoon and nodded.

"Could it be that people who have practiced swordsmanship to a certain level don't like to talk?" the housekeeper asked.

"...I thought I had a lot to say compared to Ye Gucheng."

The housekeeper laughed out loud, with an indescribable kindness in his eyes, "That's right! Young people should talk more and eat more!"

He tried his best to pick up food for the swordsman, wishing he could eat up all the food on the table.

During this day, he has been chatting with Shi Lu, from the old city lord to Ye Gucheng, from the former dynasty to the present, as if he was afraid that he would feel bored and uncomfortable.

At night, the butler stopped talking again, as if he was born specifically to carry corpses, for fear of disturbing the black-clothed swordsman.

After three days passed, Ye Gucheng prepared everything and walked out of his study.

The black-clothed swordsman leaned against the tree and looked at him calmly, with his sword hanging on his waist, and the corner of his black clothes was entwined with the scabbard under the morning wind, as if nothing had happened.

But Ye Gucheng knew that he hadn't slept for three days, and the blood of countless enemies had been splashed on his black clothes. He even saw dried blood on the fingers of the black-clothed swordsman. Blood has also become almost impossible.

It can be seen how long he killed and how many people he killed in the past three days.

The housekeeper had already given up the mop and started rinsing the ground with a bucket.

"are you ready."

"Yes."

"You sleep for the night first." Ye Gucheng said, "Let's go tomorrow."

"it is good."

The housekeeper couldn't help smiling. If the two of them were determined to do something, would anyone in the world be able to stop it?

"You're back."

"I'm back." Lu Xiaofeng walked into the palace, this time he was invited in openly, because he not only recovered the eighteen pearls, but also captured the embroidered thief.

"How is the Snake King?" Xue Bing asked.

"...he doesn't want to see me anymore."

"Because he helped the Embroidered Thief? Or because he acted and lied to you?"

"I know he has no choice." Lu Xiaofeng said, he is always willing to give his friends a second chance, and he is always generous to others, but it's a pity that the Snake King can't pass his own test, "But he said he has no face to see me anymore. "

Xue Bing sighed, she actually liked the bold and majestic Snake King, she asked again, "Who is the Embroidered Thief?"

"The Embroidered Thief is Jin Jiuling!" Lu Xiaofeng smiled, and poured himself a large glass of wine.

"you are happy?"

"I found the real murderer, shouldn't I be happy?"

"It's not worth it." Although Xue Bing's face was still pale, it was much better than before.

"why?"

Xue Bing suddenly raised his leg and kicked the chair Lu Xiaofeng was sitting on, almost causing him to fall off in embarrassment.

"Because when you were chasing down the embroidered thief, a big event happened in the rivers and lakes!"

"what's up?"

"A big event between two very famous people."

"Taoist Mu?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

Xue Bing shook his head.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized that he was being stupid. Since there were two people, how could he only say one person's name?

"Layman Gu Song? An honest monk? Sikong Zhaixing?"

Xue Bing still shook his head.

Lu Xiaofeng could only guess again, "Could it be Huamanlou?"

"Neither!" Xue Bing said, "Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, sent a letter to Ximen Chuuxue, and they will have a duel in Zijin Mountain on the first day of next month!"

Lu Xiaofeng stopped smiling.

Not only did he stop smiling, he also stood up directly to go out.

Because he knew that swordsmen like Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue would never show mercy if they had to compete. In the end, only one person could survive.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to see any of them die at all, Ximen Chuuxue was his friend, and although Ye Gucheng had only met once, Lu Xiaofeng also regarded him as his friend.

If someone can stop them, it must not be Lu Xiaofeng, but He Guiting.

He Guiting and Ye Gucheng went to the South China Sea, so he will definitely go to the capital with Ye Gucheng.

Xue Bing had already prepared a good horse for him at the gate, she was absolutely unambiguous in key matters, and could clearly read other people's hearts, how could Lu Xiaofeng not like such a considerate girl?

It's just that now he doesn't have time to pay attention to Xue Bing, he is going to the capital, and now, he will rush there immediately, even if he is a little late!

The author has something to say: emm, tell the new cutie.

You can see that the first few chapters are DC Sherlock Holmes.

This is only written in a small part, because the Marvel Universe has moved to the next door, so I wrote Sherlock Holmes to fill it in.

So after the swordsman is finished, it will be DC, and it will definitely be written for a while.

It will take a month to finish, right? (Thinking.jpg)

Then after this book is finished, I will probably open one of the two impersonation books. In terms of how to play a role, it is actually me.
