The leader is playing a big game of chess

Ye Gucheng was invited into the palace early in the morning by the four chief guards of Ouchi.

As for the others, if they want to enter the palace to watch the battle that night, they must have that ribbon on their body.

Yan Xuanye picked up four ribbons, the last one was intended to be given to his sweetheart, but after so many days of tossing around, he never found a chance to give it away.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, before noon, Xiao Yihan changed into a light and tight outfit, and he didn't look ready to do something good.

Yan Xuanye leaned against the rear door of the Jingtian Sect with a maple leaf in his mouth, and carefully hid his figure in the dark under the door lintel. Seeing that Xiao Yihan was about to jump up the back wall, he asked lazily, "Boss Xiao, what is this?" Where are you going?"

Xiao Yihan didn't follow in one breath, and almost fell from mid-air.But his reaction was also extremely fast, he didn't even have time to draw his sword, he pressed the sword and its scabbard on the wall, borrowed his strength, and ran directly to the high wall, turned around and took a few breaths, and then looked at Yan in shock. Xuan Ye said: "Master! This subordinate almost went mad!"

Yan Xuanye didn't speak, but directly killed him with his eyes.

Xiao Yihan's back was numb from his stare, and finally he threw up his hands and gave in: "Okay, I exaggerated."

Yan Xuanye smiled: "It doesn't matter, as a direct participant and team leader of the Gossip Weekly, we need talents like you."

Xiao Yihan yelled "Not good!" in his heart, turned over and rushed outwards, the internal energy of his whole body circulated rapidly, and ten percent of his lightness kung fu was caused by his twelve successes.

"Want to run?" Yan Xuanye smiled triumphantly, his arms trembled, and he flew after him.

Xiao Yihan's lightness kung fu was indeed inferior to his, but Li Xu was pressed on his shoulder from behind, and on the other side, the unsheathed knife was already lying across his neck.

"Master, there is no apostate in the subordinates." Xiao Yihan stopped, and unless he was an apostate in the Shocking Cult, even the leader could not use weapons.

"I didn't draw my sword either." Yan Xuanye smiled.

Xiao Yihan gritted his teeth: "This subordinate has some personal affairs to deal with, so I have to ask for a day off."

"Yes." Yan Xuanye readily agreed, "But I will follow."

With this follow, he followed directly into the palace.

Both of them had the color-changing ribbon tied around their waists as a voucher, and with their superb lightness kung fu, no one noticed when they entered and exited the palace.Yan Xuanye followed Xiao Yihan, and followed him to a small courtyard in the palace.

There were a few guards guarding the courtyard, but the courtyard was very quiet, only the rustling of the leaves could be heard.

Yan Xuanye didn't know where the news of Xiao Yihan came from. He knew that Ye Gucheng was resting here, so he reached out and patted his shoulder, and flew onto the only big tree in the courtyard that could not be hugged by many people. , and then made a gesture to Xiao Yihan who was still staring at him.

The opponent raised his fist at him.

Yan Xuanye grinned at Xiao Yihan.

He was in a hurry to go out today, and he didn't have time to change his face. He stared at a face that was so perfect that it looked like a monster, and showed such a smile. Even Xiao Yihan, who had seen his true face countless times, felt a little parched.

The already tense mood became even more tense.

Ye Gucheng must have heard the movement in the courtyard, but he didn't show up for a long time.

Xiao Yihan became more nervous, walked forward almost with the same hands and feet, knocked lightly on the half-covered door, and called out in a low voice: "The city lord, it's me."

There was a soft "squeak", no one answered the door, but the door opened by itself.

Xiao Yihan hesitated for a moment, then straightened his back and walked in.

Yan Xuanye was furious, didn't he hide in this tree for nothing?The people inside the Shocking Cult, even if they have news, they are not willing to take advantage of their leader.In vain I still thought of leaving him a ribbon!

He has now confirmed that the room is the top expert Ye Gucheng, and if he really wants to take a peek, he is certainly not afraid, but it is inevitable that the other party will find out, that would be too inferior.

When Yan Xuanye hesitated, Ye Gucheng's unique indifferent voice sounded in the room: "You are here."

Yan Xuanye calmed down.

"Yes." Xiao Yihan replied in a low voice.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore, the arrow is ready."

"I'm not here to persuade you, but to accompany you." Xiao Yihan said again.

So gross!Yan Xuanye stretched out his hand and rubbed his left arm. Is this still his good brother who has no integrity, no limit, no face and no skin?

He was about to rub his other arm, when there was a slight wind behind his ears, another person's hand was already ahead of him, gently pressing on his arm.

"Follow me." Someone whispered in his ear.

That voice was so familiar that Yan Xuanye would never admit his mistake even if he became deaf.

Although there were no top players in the palace, Yan Xuanye followed Huo Nanfeng around countless palaces while avoiding the inspection of the guards all the way, and told him where to go with him before he had a chance to ask him.

Until the two of them landed in the back garden of a magnificent palace.

"Where is this?" Yan Xuanye's face was not very good-looking, of course, he was not good-looking towards Huo Nanfeng.

"The palace of Concubine Shu." Huo Nanfeng said, "She is my cousin, so it is safe to speak here."

"Yo." Yan Xuanye looked Huo Nanfeng up and down, "I can't see that you are still a relative of the emperor, and there is a concubine in your family, why do you look like this?"

The time when Huo Nanfeng fought against him can no longer be simply counted by the number of times, but can be directly traced back to more than ten years ago, so how could he be easily irritated by a word from him.

It's just that the martial arts leader who has always been strict and dignified in front of others suddenly smiled at Yan Xuanye's face that had never changed, and said lightly: "Of course I can't compare with the leader. My brother and I are like fathers, and my cousin Xiao Like his mother, more like my mother."

After being stabbed twice in one sentence, Yan Xuanye only felt that his knees were so painful!

Everyone in the world knows that the shocking leader is obsessed with Huo Junchen.

Huo Junchen looks like his brother, there are not many people in the world who don't know.It is said that Huo Junchen has become more mature and steady every few years, and he looks like the new martial arts leader.

As for appearance, that has always been Yan Xuanye's biggest pain. He still remembers that when he was a child, he accompanied his father to go to the martial arts lord to compete in martial arts. thing!

Thinking of the past, Yan Xuanye's expression became even uglier.He straightened his face and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue, after this battle, maybe..." Huo Nanfeng didn't finish, but Yan Xuanye understood.

"What does it matter to me?" Yan Xuanye asked indifferently, "The martial arts competition is what they want to compete. It is not so easy to persuade such a peerless swordsman."

"No matter who wins or loses, it will be the loss of the martial arts." When Huo Nanfeng spoke seriously, he really had the air of a martial arts leader who worried about the country and the people.

The more Yan Xuanye looked at it, the more he disliked it, and said: "There is a martial arts competition tonight, if you have a way, you have already stopped it."

Huo Nanfeng had figured out a way to do it during such a long period of time from the signing of the martial arts competition to the delay of one month.

"It didn't exist before, but it's different now." Huo Nanfeng laughed again.

But Yan Xuanye didn't realize at all that "the rare smile of the leader of the martial arts is so precious". He just looked at Huo Nanfeng coldly and asked, "Why should I help you stop them?"

Ximen Chuuxue is from Baidao Wulin.Ye Gucheng was not his helper either, and if anything happened to these two people, it had nothing to do with the Shocking Sect.

"Because Xiao Yihan is not only your subordinate, but also your friend." Huo Nanfeng said.

Yan Xuanye almost jumped up.

At sunset, the palace became quiet.

On the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the tallest building in the Forbidden City, the people who came to watch the battle had been distributed in twos and threes on the four corners of the roof.

I don't know if it's because it's in the palace after all, and the atmosphere before the decisive battle seems a bit solemn.

Yan Xuanye jumped onto the roof, and saw Ximen Chuixue and Huamanlou beside Lu Xiaofeng at a glance.

Huo Nanfeng jumped up right behind him, naturally stood beside him, and said to him, "Go and talk."

So Yan Xuanye followed Huo Nanfeng to Lu Xiaofeng's side with a stern face under the curious or surprised eyes of everyone on the roof.

"Yan... Hierarch?" Lu Xiaofeng seemed a little surprised, his eyes fell on Yan Xuanye's face for a long time, and finally he showed an ambiguous smile, "I understand".

"Where's Sikong Zhaixing?" Yan Xuanye asked Lu Xiaofeng expressionlessly, "He came to steal my ribbon a few days ago, so he will definitely come tonight."

The smile on Lu Xiaofeng's face became a little stiff.

Hehehehe, this is the consequence of offending the editor-in-chief of the gossip media!

On the surface, Yan Xuanye continued to maintain a noble and glamorous look with no expression on his face.

Ximen Chuuxue just glanced at him, nodded slightly, but didn't speak.

The night grew darker.

Xie Qinglang didn't know when he came in, he was followed by Xuanshang and Huo Junchen, when the three of them landed on the top of the hall, they couldn't help showing surprise when they saw Yan Xuanye and Huo Nanfeng standing side by side look.

Yan Xuanye felt really uncomfortable being looked at by such eyes, especially Xie Qinglang who also showed such ambiguous eyes to him, then walked towards him shaking his body that could never stand up straight, and even said hello to Huo Nanfeng first. : "Leader Huo."

Yan Xuanye snorted softly, forced a smile to greet Huo Junchen, and called softly, "Junchen, you're here."

When the moonlight gently caressed every inch of the palace, Ye Gucheng finally slowly landed on the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Xiao Yihan's complexion hadn't been pretty these past few days, but now he looked even paler under the moonlight.

But when he noticed the eyes of Xie Qinglang and Yan Xuanye, he grinned at them, looking very happy.

Yan Xuanye rolled his eyes, he always felt that even if Huo Nanfeng's plan hadn't come before, this kid would very likely snipe to help Ye Gucheng.With him disrupting the situation, I'm afraid this contest will end in chaos.

As the leader of the martial arts alliance, Huo Nanfeng naturally wanted to preside over the competition himself, so he immediately stepped forward to announce the rules of the competition.

For a top player like Xiye, there are too many of them.Because they are no longer pursuing victory, but just to prove the pinnacle of martial arts.

But this time, Huo Nanfeng added a sentence at the end: "City Master Ye and Master Ximen Village are both peerless swordsmen at the top of the martial arts world. We would not like to lose either of them, so when the two have already won When we lose, Master Yan and I will prevent the two of you from continuing."

As soon as he said those words, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up suddenly.

In the contest between two masters, it was too easy for one to die and one to be injured in the end.It's not that he didn't want to stop them, but the martial arts of Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng are too high, if one is not good, it may cost three lives.

Even he wasn't sure.

But it doesn't matter now, Huo Nanfeng's martial arts are not inferior to the two, and now even the leader of Jingtian is willing to help.

The smile on Hua Manlou's face also became more obvious.

A very unremarkable man in black slowly moved to Yan Xuanye's side, and said softly, "Thank you."

Yan Xuanye didn't reply, nor did he look back at him, but just stared at Ye Gucheng.

In fact, this is really a very dangerous thing, to prevent the contest between the two peerless swordsmen.

but……

His eyes fell on Xiao Yihan, this kid will worship him in the future, he will admire him to death, hahahahaha, I have seen enough of his lifeless face these days!

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the starlight has faded a little.

Two immortal swords.

The sword has been pierced!

The sword thrust was not fast, and the distance between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng was still far away.

Their blades have not even touched, but they have already started to change continuously. People move very slowly, but their blades change very quickly, because they have changed as they wish before they even make a move.

From the eyes of others, this battle was neither fierce nor exciting.

Yan Xuanye's palms were already covered with cold sweat. He found that Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue had really given their all in this battle.

He stared at the two of them without blinking, but he kept thinking in his heart, if it was him, could this trick be dismantled smoothly.

The more I thought about it, the moister my palm became.

These sword moves are not fancy, but they are powerful enough to be the most useful moves.

As he clenched his fist more and more tightly, a hand stretched out from the side and gently held it in his hand.

The sleeves drooped, covering the man's movements.Besides, the attention of the people above the main hall was on Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng, and no one paid attention to their movements.

Yan Xuanye looked sideways slightly, only to find that standing beside him, holding his hand was——

Huo!South!wind!

Hey!

He shook off Huo Nanfeng with a flick of his hand, but the tension that permeated his whole body just now did disappear.

But he didn't have time to think more, without Huo Nanfeng's reminder, when the opponent rushed forward with palms together, Yan Xuanye drew out his sword, and jumped forward side by side with him.

The martial arts lord's weapon is his hands. At this moment, an immortal long sword is firmly held by his clasped palms, the tip of the sword is only an inch away from his throat.

The saber in Yan Xuanye's hand has also firmly supported Ye Gucheng's sword.

No one would doubt the words of Huo Nanfeng, who has always been known for his fairness and justice in martial arts. He slowly let go of the sword in his hand, turned around and announced: "City Master Ye won."

"Long live!" Everyone hadn't moved yet, Xiao Yihan, who had been following Ye Gucheng and firmly classified himself as Ye Gucheng's party, suddenly rushed forward, regardless of his leader still holding Ye Gucheng's long sword, hugging Ye Gucheng Ye Gucheng just cheered: "We won! We won!"

Yan Xuanye withdrew the sword in his hand and looked at the dog-legged guy with disdain, thinking that fortunately no one knew that he was a member of our Shocking Sect.

This is a contest that will be famous forever and everyone will be happy.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Yihan came to ask Yan Xuanye for a long vacation, but was rejected by Yan Xuanye with a straight face: "No!"

"Master..." Xiao Yihan hugged his thigh tightly.

Yan Xuanye showed him the draft of the new issue of the newspaper. On the front page was a line of characters inscribed by him: "Who is the real winner? Remember Xiao Yihan's shameless pursuit of love, the leader of the Shocking Sect."

"Master..." Xiao Yihan burst into tears, "I never hugged the city master's thigh so shamelessly and cried begging him to take me in."

"Then tell me, what happened to you that afternoon. When you came in the evening, the little face was so full of energy that you were blinded."

"I just told him that whether he wins or loses, he is my God."

"Huh?" Yan Xuanye didn't believe it.

"Okay... I'm really holding onto what he said..." Xiao Yihan smashed the jar.

"Hehe." Yan Xuanye smiled but didn't smile.

Xiao Yihan was desperate, closed his eyes and said in pain: "I also said that I will always be with him in the future, follow him, and treat him as my emperor."

He finally revealed the most critical information.

"Oh?" Yan Xuanye raised his eyebrows.

"Actually..." The matter had passed, and Xiao Yihan didn't hide it anymore, "Perhaps it was close, I was the queen of the new dynasty."

So...shameless!Yan Xuanye was stunned, and painfully picked up a pen and drew two circles under the word "shameless" in the newspaper. This must not be avoided.

Even if Ye Gucheng became the emperor, this shameless and shameless guy would not have the aura of a queen.

and many more!

Queen? !

He heard right! ! !

Yan Xuanye looked up at Xiao Yihan in surprise.

But Xiao Yihan didn't look at him anymore, he just turned his head and looked out the window.

At this time, the sun was rising, and they were all a little tired after not resting all night, but his face was rarely without the shameless and sly smile from before.

Fortunately, Ye Gucheng still felt that it was better for someone to accompany him to walk against the wind and waves on the sea at night than to be an emperor.
