me and my vest

After the snow falls in the capital, it is almost the time of Chinese New Year.

Snow had already covered the Forbidden City, and the palace servants swept the broom all day before they could barely expose the road.

Now is also the time for big purchases. The Taihe Sect does not leave ordinary people, so Wei Ziyun is still relatively leisurely, and can even sit and enjoy the snow. He has been a bodyguard for a long time, and he is also the leader of the four masters of the Ouchi.

A person like him already knows many secrets in the palace, no matter who becomes the new emperor, he will not be tolerated.

But fortunately, Ye Gucheng was the emperor.

He was already a top swordsman himself, and he didn't care if Wei Ziyun revealed the secret to others, even if an assassin came, it was clear who lived and who died.

So Wei Ziyun can be a guard at leisure, and after working for the public for a long time, he can't get away easily, and he is no longer suitable for wandering in the world.

Tu Fang, who used to be one of the four masters, was wrapped in a jacket and sat on the tower drinking tea. He had long been accustomed to such a life, and was surprised to find that changing the emperor had no effect on him.

In any case, life is still going on.

"Have you prepared your New Year's goods?"

"Ready." Wei Ziyun said.

"Where are the firecrackers?"

"Bought it."

"You remember to put up a hanging tomorrow night for a festive occasion."

"it is good."

The Forbidden City is also celebrating the New Year, and everywhere is celebrating the New Year. Since Wei Ziyun and Tu Fang are responsible for guarding this gate, they are also responsible for making this gate festive.

Tu Fang stood up suddenly.

Wei Ziyun followed and looked over.

"Who is that? Ximen Chuuxue?"

A man dressed in white slowly walked towards the Supreme Harmony Gate. He walked very slowly, every step was steady, with a long black sword hanging from his waist, which looked as cold as ice and snow.

Wei Ziyun shook his head, "Do you think he is Ximen Chuuxue?"

"Is not it?"

"Could it be him? Look at him, apart from his appearance, he doesn't look like Ximen Chuuxue?" Wei Ziyun seemed to look down on this person.

"I don't know him." Tu Fang looked again and again, but finally couldn't recognize him.

"His name is Ye Guhong."

"Ye Guhong? Who is he to the emperor?"

"It is said that he is a distant cousin."

"That's already quite remarkable." Tu Fang signaled a guard beside him to open the door, "He is now regarded as a relative of the emperor."

"It's just a person who can't recognize himself." Wei Ziyun sat down again, "I've never heard of anyone becoming a master by imitating others."

Tu Fang smiled, "Me neither."

Ye Guhong came to look for Ye Gucheng, he had nothing else to do, he just came to see Ye Gucheng, since the restoration of Ye's family, their connection seems to be closer.

Isn't it normal to visit relatives and friends during Chinese New Year?

Ye Guhong didn't look sideways all the way, and no one stopped him. He walked all the way to the South Study Room.

The housekeeper was hanging the red lanterns, he was already smiling a bit, but seeing Ye Guhong was even happier.

Regardless of whether the relationship between Ye Gucheng and Ye Guhong is good or not, he is always a member of the Ye family, and the housekeeper is always gentler to the members of the Ye family than others.

Ye Guhong really admires Ximen Chuuxue, he even has to learn that Ximen Chuuxue doesn't like to talk.

So he just nodded and walked out.

Ye Guhong only waited for half an hour, and Ye Gucheng came. He was still dressed in white, with only a bright yellow hair band all over his body. Walking side by side with him was a man in black.

He Gui stopped.

Ye Guhong recognized it at a glance, and his eyes became wild, "You are He Guiting?"

"Yes."

"Have you met Ximen Chuuxue? Have you ever compared swords with him?"

"Ah."

"Look..." Ye Guhong clenched the sword in his hand, "How do I compare with him?"

Before the black-clothed swordsman could speak, Ye Gucheng said first, "You came here to ask this?"

"No." Ye Guhong had no choice but to resist his desire to ask, and saluted Ye Gucheng respectfully.

"Do you know who is the fourth best swordsman in the world?" Ye Gucheng asked coldly.

"do not know."

"It's Mu Taoist from Wudang." Ye Gucheng said, "You worship Wudang, so you can see him often. Can you compare with him?"

Ye Guhong's face turned livid, and he shook his head.

"Since you can't compare to Taoist Mu, why ask Ximen Chuuxue?"

After Ye Gucheng finished speaking, he was about to take Shilu away, but the housekeeper took out a lot of lanterns from nowhere and stuffed them into the arms of the black-clothed swordsman. He also grabbed a handful of peanut jelly beans and put them in the swordsman's pocket.

With a smiling face, he looks like a kind grandfather basking in the sun in the garden.

"If there's nothing wrong, why don't you help me?"

"it is good."

Ye Gucheng sighed helplessly, and distributed half of the lantern from the swordsman in black.

The butler smiled, and there was a cunning and despicable meaning in that smile.

The two went to hang the lantern together.

"...", Ye Guhong was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "What did they go to do just now?"

"Naturally, to deal with the government affairs," said the butler.

"Their relationship is really as good as the rumors say?"

"What's the rumor?"

"Rumors say that Ye Gucheng has no secrets from He Guiting."

The housekeeper laughed again, "It's better than that."

------------

Ye Guhong left, but another person came in from the Supreme Harmony Sect.

This person was also wearing white clothes, and he also came to say hello to Ye Gucheng, but his treatment was not so good.

It is a very strange thing that the current emperor did not execute him even though he was a descendant of the former emperor, but let him go.Taking ten thousand steps back, the Prince's son cannot enter the capital unless he is summoned, and he will lose his head if he comes here in such a blatant manner.

Wei Ziyun sent someone to notify Ye Gucheng, and only let people in after getting positive news.

"Move to the side."

Ye Gucheng put his hand aside a little, brushed off the snow on the porch, and then threaded the lantern rope through the stick to tie a knot.

"The letter Yu Luocha asked you to bring to me." Ye Gucheng said suddenly, "He asked me to deal with Wuming Island together."

"why?"

"Wu Ming invited him to a decisive battle." Ye Gucheng said, "He doesn't want to go."

"Their martial arts are all very high, and their moves are very similar. Why doesn't he want to?"

"He doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to take risks." Ye Gucheng hung up another lantern, "He can't do without the Western Demon Cult he established and his own power. The Raksha card case is a proof."

"Yes." The black-clothed swordsman nodded.

"When that day comes, you can go to Nameless Island for me."

"it is good."

Ye Gucheng said, "I remember that Lu Xiaofeng also invited you to Li Yanbei's house, why not go now."

The way he spoke was really blunt, because he had never learned to ask people to leave in such a tactful manner. In his capacity, even when he was the Lord of Baiyun City, he only had to say one word to see off the guests.

Shi Lu knew that Ye Gucheng didn't want him to see Gong Jiu, and he himself was also very troubled by that type of pervert. Besides, He Guiting's character design...was originally naive, so he definitely couldn't tell that Ye Gucheng was doing it. tell him to go.

However, no matter how Ye Gucheng calculates, it is still very easy for Gong Jiu to meet others.

Shilu walked quietly on the way out of the palace, the thin snow under his feet creaked and creaked, the red walls and green tiles of the Forbidden City were neutralized by the white snow, the grand atmosphere, cold and quiet.

Ye Gucheng succeeded, but he couldn't leave the imperial city easily, and he was also bound by the world. Wouldn't it be more lonely to live in such a place?

"He Gui stopped."

Gong Jiu is now standing in the middle of a wide paved road. The roads in the Forbidden City are all grand and wide, and the palace people clean them every day.

The swordsman in black stopped to look at him.

"good afternoon."

The swordsman in black looked up at the rising sun.

It's obviously morning now.

Gong Jiu smiled, "Do you really hate me?"

The black-clothed swordsman shook his head.

"Oh." Gong Jiu said again, "Then you must find me annoying."

Seeing the swordsman in black nodding, Gong Jiu said again, "It's useless for you to think so, you will definitely see me often in the future."

Gong Jiu took a few steps and approached.

The swordsman in black stepped back, and the jelly beans fell out of his pocket.

"..."

"I'm not here to find Ye Gucheng, but to give you a New Year's gift." Gong Jiu showed an unpredictable smile, and he was indeed holding a delicately packaged box in his hand.

Like Yu Luocha, he knows He Guiting, as long as you talk to him seriously, even if he hates you, he will listen seriously.

Isn't it the same with giving gifts?

He will take it.

Inside the box was a whip.

Shi Lu had only one thought at this moment—fortunately, Ye Gucheng was not there.

------------

Lu Xiaofeng was doing somersaults with Sikong Zaixing.

"If you lose, you have to dig earthworms!"

"Could you change the way you gamble?" Lu Xiaofeng felt dizzy, "Why earthworms again?"

"Don't you already think you're going to lose?"

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to take a bath for ten days, and I'm also afraid of digging for earthworms in the mud."

Sikong Zhaixing thought about how Lu Xiaofeng looked like after digging up earthworms last time, and suddenly felt that this gamble is not good, what if he loses?

"Then think about it."

"I can't think of one."

"If you can't figure it out, let's set off firecrackers!" Xue Bing came out of the kitchen with the dishes, "It will be set off five thousand times."

"Why don't you let it go?" Sikong Zhaoxing was in high spirits, and he was determined to win Lu Xiaoji.

"Then you can help in the kitchen."

"I didn't say anything." Sikong Zhaixing immediately sat down, not only sat down, he also picked up his chopsticks, he knew that if he went to help in the kitchen, Lu Xiaofeng would dare to eat all the dishes on the table now.

"You are such a lazy bastard!" Lu Xiaofeng laughed.

"Then you are Lu Sanbai! Idiot, bastard, pauper!"

Master Bitter Gourd finished the vegetarian meal and came out of the kitchen, "He is still a big eater, a big eater that no one can compare to."

Li Yanbei and Aunt Shisan who were already at the table laughed too much.

So Lu Xiaofeng obediently went to set off firecrackers, if he stayed any longer, he would be useless.

"He Guiting?" Lu Xiaofeng opened the door and went out, just in time to see the swordsman walking on the snow.

"It's me, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Lu Xiaofeng smiled happily, who wouldn't be happy during Chinese New Year?Especially celebrating New Years with so many friends.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly saw the box in his hand.

"What are you holding?"

"It's nothing...a gift from someone I don't know very well."

"Not familiar?" Lu Xiaofeng knew that as long as someone gave it to him, the swordsman would dare to take it, so he stretched out his hand.

Suddenly, the swordsman in black took out the peanuts and melon seeds given by the butler from his pocket and put them into Lu Xiaofeng's open hands.

"I don't want these, show me that box." Lu Xiaofeng couldn't laugh or cry.

"...Gong Jiu sent it."

It's Gong Jiu again.

What kind of person is Gong Jiu?

Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously, "What did he give?"

"……whip."

"Why did he give you a whip?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, "You learned swords."

The swordsman in black finally answered Lu Xiaofeng directly this time, "He seems to want me to hit him."

"..."

Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking.

He thought for a while, "Does Ye Gucheng know about this?"

"know."

So Lu Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, and licked the melon seeds that had just arrived in his hand, "You go in first, I'll go right after I set off the firecrackers."

"it is good."

After all, Lu Xiaofeng is more knowledgeable than Ye Gucheng to some extent, he has seen everyone.

"I've seen quite a few people like this." Lu Xiaofeng murmured to himself and took out a fire pocket, swiped it several times in a daze but didn't open it, so he sighed.

He immediately felt that setting off the firecrackers was a bit boring.

"I must find a way to make He Guiting stay away from him." Lu Xiaofeng sighed again.
