[Sword Three + Lu Xiaofeng] The Crane Returns to the Lonely Mountain

Chapter 31

rebellion

Regardless of whether there is a mechanism or not, there is no need to open this box now—if you find this Atu, you can find Gongsun Lan.

But... who is this Ah Tu?The masters present all looked at each other in blank dismay.

"The lame man who used to beg for food at the entrance of the alley seems to be called Ah Tu!" One of the arresters suddenly interjected as if he remembered something.

"Go find him!" Lu Xiaofeng immediately said, "Come and inform me as soon as you find him, don't let him know!"

Hearing this, the man nodded immediately, and hurried out with a group of arresting officers.

Lu Xiaofeng took the box from Ye Gucheng, put it back into the stove, and asked someone to find some dust to sprinkle on the place where several people stepped on in the house. Jin Jiuling arranged suitable people to watch this Every movement in the yard - after the two had made arrangements, they both let out a sigh of relief and exited the house together.

Ye Dange stood beside Ye Gucheng quietly, looking at Jin Jiuling calmly—the arrangement was well-planned and secure, and it was impossible to find any faults or negligence.Ye Dange raised his head, looked at Ye Gucheng through the still bright sunset, Ye Gucheng and her looked at each other, and held her hand tightly.Ye Dange shook his head and sighed silently.

Not long after returning to Nanwang Mansion, Jin Jiuling's arresters had already received news of Atu, and Lu Xiaofeng rushed out immediately——Ye Dange wanted to volunteer, but she was helpless. Compared with Lu Xiaofeng, it is still a little inferior after all, and following such things is the most taboo of many people, so they can only stay in the mansion honestly, waiting for Lu Xiaofeng to send the news - but the whole night passed But there is still no news from Lu Xiaofeng.

Ye Dange felt that she had actually made a mistake when she went out this time - the case of the Embroidery Bandit was handled by Lu Xiaofeng from the beginning to the end, and she didn't help at all.It's not that Lu Xiaofeng insists on taking care of everything, but that she really can't help with many things. For example, this time, because Qinggong is not as good as Lu Xiaofeng, there is no way to follow Ah Tu to find Gongsun Lan instead of him... In the end, it's all One more word - she is not strong enough.Compared with a real master, she is still far behind.

Ye Dange specially extended the time for sword practice this morning by another third. After the sword practice, he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was as wet as if he had just been fished out of the water. He hurriedly packed up his things and went back to the room to wash After taking a shower and changing clothes, I went to the study.

There are still some white papers and letters scattered on the table in the study, the ink in the inkstone is not dry, and the used pens have not been washed, just put them on the inkstone——Ye Gucheng must have just left , and will be back soon, so there is no packing.But...Even if the Nanwang Mansion is heavily guarded and the servants don't dare to break into the study, but with Ye Gucheng's reserved and cautious temperament, he shouldn't just spread the letter on the table so casually...

Ye Dange frowned, feeling inexplicably worried for some reason, and when he lowered his head subconsciously glanced out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a piece of letter paper that fell to the ground at some point.Ye Dange sighed and walked to the table, bent down to pick up the piece of paper - the paper was wrinkled, as if it had been crumpled and then flattened again.

It is absolutely impossible for Ye Gucheng's letter to fall into the hands of others, and it is even more impossible for someone to dare to crumple his letter paper—so he is... what's wrong?Ye Dange felt even more uneasy. He frowned and put the letter paper back on the table, fearing that it would fall down again. He found a paperweight to hold it down. He glanced at it inadvertently, but his heart was startled—— Just now, the three words she saw seemed to be..."kill the emperor"?

Ye Dange knew that Ye Gucheng had been hiding something from herself, but she had already said that he wouldn't ask if he didn't mention her—she was not a person who likes to force others to make things difficult for her, but now... Ye Dange Biting her lip, she finally reached out to remove the paperweight, and picked up the letter paper—some things, even if they violated her usual principles, she must figure them out.

……

Ye Gucheng pushed open the door and saw Ye Dange standing in front of the table with his back facing him, he was stunned for a moment, then he frowned slightly, and just about to speak, Ye Dange just turned around Come - she looked up at him, her face was slightly pale, but her expression was very calm, she held a crumpled letter paper in her hand, and looked at him steadily.

Ye Gucheng's eyesight was excellent, and soon he found that her hand holding the letter seemed to be trembling slightly—a swordsman, no matter when, even if he didn't hold a sword in his hand, he should never A fatal error such as trembling occurs.

"Ye Gucheng," Ye Dange looked at him fixedly, and raised the letter paper in his hand, "Is this the letter that Prince Nan wrote to you a few days ago?"

"Yes." Ye Gucheng nodded, his expression dark.

"He wants to rebel?" Ye Dange stared straight into his eyes, as if trying to see something from them.

Ye Gucheng looked at the letter paper in her hand, nodded, and gave an affirmative answer again: "Yes."

"Then..." Ye Dange took a deep breath, his eyes became more focused, "Do you want to help him and plot against him together?"

Ye Gucheng didn't answer right away this time, but just looked at her quietly, and after a long time, he asked indifferently: "If I say yes, what will you do?"

"How?" Ye Dange seemed to be startled, and repeated these two words subconsciously, then put the letter paper back on the table, took another deep breath, and when he looked up again, his expression had changed. It was peaceful, and there was even a slight smile on his face, he just looked at Ye Gucheng without fear, and after a long time, he said frankly——

"If it's true, then we can only - draw the sword."

Ye Gucheng looked at her, his expression unchanged: "You want to kill me?"

"I don't really care who is the emperor, and I dare not say how benevolent and wise the current emperor is, but at least now the world is stable, the people are rich, and they live and work in peace and contentment. Although the son of the Southern King looks gentle and elegant, he is actually full of hostility and ambition. , if the rebellion succeeds, it will never be better than the current emperor. What's more...even if your method will not hurt the people, but once the emperor and the courtiers, he will definitely support his cronies and eliminate dissidents after he takes office. In exchange for blood, what will happen to those innocent ministers? The turmoil in the court, how can it not affect the people?" Ye Dange found that he was sober and rational at this moment, and his organization was extremely clear, "Without you, He will never be able to distract the palace guards and kill you—this is the only way I can think of."

"But you are by no means my opponent." Ye Gucheng's voice was very low, even slightly hoarse.

Ye Dange was stunned for a moment, but quickly laughed: "That's why you killed me—although I couldn't stop it, but I tried my best, and I have no regrets. I only hope... someone else can stop it in time. correct,"

As Ye Dange was speaking, he paused suddenly as if he suddenly remembered something, and finally continued after a while: "Can you promise me something?"

"Say."

"If I really die today, how about you take my body and the two swords back to Hangzhou and bury them under my sword furnace? It can be regarded as... It's all my wish for many years. As for the Tai'a ——It seems that I have nothing to do with it after all, and there is no need to force it. It's a pity that the promise I made to you may not be able to be fulfilled. "

Ye Gucheng didn't speak, just took a few steps forward, and in a blink of an eye, he had already stood in front of Ye Dange, bent down slightly, and fixedly stared into Ye Dange's eyes: "In two months' time , you and I should have been husband and wife."

Ye Dange looked up at him, looked straight into his eyes without showing any weakness, and sighed softly: "Ye Gucheng, I like you, I like you very much. I don't know if you promised him or agreed What about him, but I know you are lonely——I want to marry you, accompany you, practice swords with you, and take you to eat all kinds of food and see all kinds of scenery... ...In short, I want you not to be so lonely anymore. But I don't know if I have overestimated myself, or if I have come too late."

Ye Gucheng looked at her, his eyes were so dark that ink dripped out, but so deep that people couldn't see clearly.

The girl in apricot yellow clothes shook her head gently, her long double ponytails swayed gently with her movements, the distance between the two was too close, a few strands of hair stuck to Ye Gucheng's snow-white sleeves , The contrast between black and white is sharp but not dazzling.

"Look, there are more than ten thousand miles in this country, and there are more than tens of millions of people in the world? Compared with them, you and I are nothing more than a meager body. If you really insist on doing this-although it sounds hypocritical and vulgar, I still want to Said, if you insist on doing this, why should I die for the sake of the world and the innocent people? I have already said that when I was in Daci Temple - I am just... I want to protect the people I want to protect, so I hold the sword."

Ye Dange finally finished what he wanted to say, heaved a sigh of relief, and looked up at Ye Gucheng quietly—her hands had stopped shaking, and became as steady and powerful as usual—— The matter has come to this point, she has already made a decision, she will never hesitate again, what she is waiting for now is just a reply from Ye Gucheng——

Reverse, or not reverse.

——It was only two words at most, but Ye Gucheng just looked at her like this, and didn't speak for a long time.
