Sword God is hard to catch

"Lu Xiaofeng, you are really smart." The young "His Royal Highness Prince Qing" lightly jumped off the bamboo raft, and landed quietly on the ground like a fallen leaf. His bare feet touched the ground without even stirring up a speck of dust, but he The words that were spoken struck people's hearts like a sledgehammer, causing an earth-shattering tremor, "Just like Chu Liuxiang."

Chu Liuxiang!

Pirate Commander Ye Liuxiang is famous all over the world.

140 years ago, a legendary figure in the martial arts generation.

Lu Xiaofeng took a deep breath, but said in a calm tone, "Lu Xiaofeng is just an ordinary prodigal son, at most he can be regarded as a fool with a little bit of cleverness. Compared with the great hero Chu, there are those who abandon their glory and wealth like clogs, even this A person who can throw away the supreme power in the world like a rag is really not worth mentioning."

King Qing was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled slightly, and said: "Lu Xiaofeng is indeed Lu Xiaofeng." He touched his chin, and said with a smile, "Well, it is this sentence, people in the world often use it to talk about you. But , how did you guess it?"

Lu Xiaofeng said lightly: "This is not a complicated matter at all. The Xu family in Shanxi, the Lu family in Yanzhou, the Dong family in Jiujiang Prefecture, the ship owner's family in Shunde Dock, and the Yan family have such a wide area and such hidden means. People must be very powerful. The power has crossed the state capital, and both black and white are like this. Jin Jiuling once said that he was only afraid of one person. I thought he was talking about me. But later I knew it was not. It can make six The door always catches people who are afraid, no matter who that person is, he must be in the capital."

"I have secretly checked the houses of several adults in the capital, but found nothing. So, I began to wonder if I missed something. Then, Ximen Chuuxue suddenly discovered the traces of Ye Gucheng. Ye Gucheng should have been in the sky prison. , but he came out. The government didn’t release the wanted list, why didn’t the emperor issue the list?”

Lu Xiaofeng knocked himself on the head, and continued, "What is the most difficult debt in the world to repay. It's not money, nor is it 'love debt'. Tan Ni missed a word, it's 'humanity debt'."

He took a deep breath, and said: "The emperor was raised in Qing Palace before he was seven years old. Qing Palace raised him and protected him."

King Qing lowered his eyes, chuckled lightly, but did not speak.

Lu Xiaofeng continued: "I originally doubted King Qing, the current King Qing. But after seeing him, I always felt that something was wrong, and there was a link that couldn't be matched. He has hidden a lot of things, and he may even know who is behind the scenes. Who. Qin Ni suddenly mentioned a person, the Seventh Prince. Who is the Seventh Prince? Yin Xian, who is the imperial guard, did not know. This person who can freely enter and leave the forbidden palace seems to have a very mysterious background. But the Emperor must know His identity. He is not the son of King Qing, so who is he?"

The smile on Hua Manlou's face paused almost invisibly, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't notice it. He shrugged and said, "Actually, I still can't tell who he is. Maybe I've already guessed it, maybe I didn't. No. But that night, I saw King Qing, the current King Qing, salute at the gate of this small courtyard with my own eyes. It was a kind of etiquette for subordinates to the peak, and juniors to elders. King Qing’s father had passed away, His boss is only the emperor, but the emperor is in the palace. Then who lives in this small courtyard?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and said: "Connecting all the clues together, I suddenly came to a fundamentally impossible conclusion. There must be a person in Qing Palace who is higher than Prince Qing, not even inferior to the emperor. The strange thing is that the emperor I have no defense or grudge against this person at all. Because even if it is a 'debt of favor', it is very difficult to release Ye Gucheng, who committed the crime of treason, from the prison. I can only think of one such person .”

Suddenly his voice stopped, Lu Xiaofeng stared at the young and handsome Prince Qing who was smiling and looking at him, and slowly said: "140 years ago, the first generation of Prince Qing was the one who had all the power in the government and the public, and gave up that position at his fingertips. , Zhu Youqing."

King Qing, Zhu Youqing raised his head and laughed brightly. He laughed freely and joyfully.

Lu Xiaofeng took a long breath, and continued: "There are too few people like the prince. I spent a whole night investigating, and finally found out that the prince really gave up the throne by himself, not because of any hidden secrets." .”

Lu Xiaofeng spread his hands and said: "Although it is unbelievable, only such a conclusion can connect all the clues and solve all the mysteries."

King Zhu Youqing of the Qing Dynasty had already stopped laughing, with only a faint smile on his face. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone seemed to be nostalgic, as if he was calm, and said slowly: "Eliminated all the possible facts, then whatever remains, however improbable, that's the truth. Excluding all impossible facts, what remains, however improbable, is the truth."

Lu Xiaofeng's expression froze, Hua Manlou was also slightly startled, and said: "My lord, you and Tan Ni..."

King Qing suddenly chuckled, interrupted Hua Manlou, and looked at Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and said: "So, I can only come to this conclusion." He spread his hands and said, "So, this matter is not complicated in the first place, but the most difficult part is that no one can think of 140 His Royal Highness the King of Qing years ago is still alive. This is a very impossible thing. But even so—"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a complex expression, stroked his beard, and sighed, "I'm still a little surprised to see His Highness Prince Qing like this."

Zhu Youqing smiled happily, walked up to the exquisite gazebo beside the rockery, and sat lazily on the grand teacher's chair next to the Eight Immortals Table, with his long hair scattered casually beside the armrest.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou also walked over, but they didn't sit down, they just stood at a distance.

King Qing put down his sleeves, poured a cup of tea slowly, took a sip, and signaled casually, "This is a guest, please sit down."

Lu Xiaofeng was not polite, and sat down calmly. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup for himself and Huamanlou.

King Qing narrowed his eyes leisurely, and said with a smile, "You thought you would see an old man with a wrinkled face?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "Yes, until I saw you in person, I guess I suddenly realized that this world can really be so miraculous, so miraculous that it has greatly exceeded my expectations."

King Qing smiled lightly and said, "But it's not beyond your imagination."

Lu Xiaofeng spread his hands and said, "Now I'm done talking. May I ask?"

Zhu Youqing lowered his eyes, slowly stroked the rim of the teacup with his slender fingers, and said lightly, "Please."

Lu Xiaofeng stared at him closely, and said slowly, "Why?"

"Why..." King Qing didn't answer right away, but repeated in a murmur, with an inexplicable tone.

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said: "Yes, why? Tan Ni once said that crimes in this world are nothing more than wealth, power, and hatred. There must be a reason. Then what about you, my lord, what are you doing for it? Money, power, lord It is easy to get, and hatred is even more impossible. Those families whose families have been ruined, the residents of small towns plagued by opium, and even the people in the rivers and lakes, how could they have an enmity with the Qing prince who lives high in the capital? And those 130 people, even Sun Xiuqing, Shangguan Feiyan."

Zhu Youqing raised his head slowly, looked at Lu Xiaofeng with an inexplicable expression, and suddenly smiled and said: "Isn't it for money? Don't forget, the property of those ruined families, and the batch of jewels of Gong Jiu, this is not Is it all money?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and said lightly: "If my guess is correct, those belongings are indeed gone, but they have gone to the place where they should go now. That place will not be the treasury of Prince Qing's Mansion."

Hua Manlou suddenly said: "I already know a kind of weapon, the firecracker, it's not the firecracker, it's much more powerful than the firecracker. Sikong Zhaixing saw that kind of weapon in the prince's mansion. Qin Ni said, it's called a gun .I just want to ask, why does the prince need to use such a method? Why do you need to kill innocent people when you are rich and strong, protecting the common people?"

The sun has risen to the mid-heaven, and the fragrance of lotus is diffused in the air, refreshing.

Zhu Youqing burst out laughing suddenly, he laughed so hard that even his long hair trembled with him, "Rich the country and strengthen the army, protect the common people? Hahaha. The building is full of flowers, you really are the building full of flowers."

The laughter suddenly stopped, Zhu Youqing raised his head, he took a deep breath of lotus fragrance, and stood up, his body seemed to be infected with a high indifference in an instant, silent and dangerous.

"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the moon waxes and wanes. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, flowers bloom and wither. In this world, there is the principle of heaven and earth everywhere. The same is true for people, metabolism, birth, old age, sickness and death. But since ancient times, how many emperors and people have tried to Immortal. But so what if it is really immortal? I used to ride horses and gallop with Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua, and Ji Bingyan, run far into the desert, laugh and drink together. But now, they have all gone, and the old friends have melted away For the dead bones, the former relatives have also been buried in the loess. The long river is rolling, the years have passed, and now, there is only me... only me..."

The presumptuous and almost rampant long laughter spread from Qing Wang's mansion and echoed over the entire capital.

All the people in the capital were panic-stricken.

The Ouchi guard turned pale with shock.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Forbidden City suddenly stood up.

Both Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had stood up, fully alert.

However, the laughter suddenly stopped.

They found that there was no smile on King Qing's face, but his calm eyes fluctuated, as if they were sorrowful or tears. He suddenly whispered: "Only I, abandoned in the long river of time and space ..."

After saying a word, King Qing suddenly closed his eyes, as if covering up all his emotions and excitement.

When he opened his eyes again, he changed back to the Prince Qing who was smiling but his eyes were as calm as a cold pool and abyss.

He smiled slightly, looked at Huamanlou, and said slowly: "I must find something for myself to do."

This is his answer, everything, just because of this.

The red sun has begun to move westward, and the wind is slowly blowing up.

Lu Xiaofeng raised his head suddenly, and he saw two people.Two white figures, one in front of the other, fell to the ground quickly but lightly like fallen leaves.

Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue.

Both of them were almost spotless, and Ximen Chuuxue's face was cold.Ye Gucheng's face was pale.

Ye Gucheng didn't look at Ximen Chuuxue, he didn't actually look at anyone.Just stood there quietly, where he fell.

Ximen Chuuxue didn't look at Ye Gucheng either.He is looking at another person.

Zhu Youqing raised his head, met Ximen Chuuxue's cold eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Ximen Chuuxue."

There seems to be another meaning in his voice that people need to figure out.But it is difficult to distinguish for a while.

Ximen Chuuxue stared at him closely, and suddenly asked, "Do you use a sword?"

Zhu Youqing didn't answer, he just tilted his head slightly and called, "Ye Gucheng."

Ye Gucheng looked up.

Zhu Youqing suddenly smiled at Ximen Chuuxue, there seemed to be indescribable joy in that smile, and there seemed to be a bit of cunning, he looked at Ximen Chuuxue, and said slowly: "Ye Gucheng, I want you to swear that in this life, In your lifetime, you must not blow the snow and draw your sword against Ximen."

Ye Gucheng was stunned, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were also stunned.

Ximen Chuuxue's face suddenly became ugly, completely as cold as ice.

Ye Gucheng's hands trembled a little, his lips trembled, and he seemed unable to utter a single word.

Zhu Youqing didn't seem to be in a hurry, he took a sip of tea slowly, turned his head and said to him: "I swear, I will tell you one thing, one thing you have always wanted to know."

Ye Gucheng suddenly opened his eyes wide, he suddenly looked at Ximen Chuuxue, he couldn't help but clenched his sword tightly, his face was pale and pale, like a dead person.After a long time, he suddenly let go of the hand holding the sword, closed his eyes abruptly, and opened them again abruptly, saying word by word: "I, Ye Gucheng, will never fight against Ximen in this lifetime. As proof."

The oath fell like a hammer, Zhu Youqing looked at Ximen Chuixue's livid face, and laughed heartily.

Ye Gucheng said: "My parents, how did they die?"

Zhu Youqing slowly stopped laughing, he tilted his head slightly, and looked at Ye Gucheng, with an inexplicable half-smile on his face.

Ye Gucheng suddenly trembled and took a step back with a pale face.

He suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart.

Zhu Youqing smiled slightly, looked at him with squinted eyes, and said word by word: "I killed them with my own hands."

Ye Gucheng's eyes widened slowly, his face was as pale as death, his whole body was trembling, and he stared fixedly at him.

Zhu Youqing smiled and said, "You, do you want to avenge them?"

Ye Gucheng stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled miserably, "Revenge? You killed my parents and raised me with your own hands, hahaha, why? Why? Tell me, why?"

Zhu Youqing withdrew his eyes, lowered his eyes, and slowly said: "Why? Probably because you are unlucky. Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Ximen Chuuxue, Sikong Zhaixing, Ye Gucheng, with a 20.00% chance, I just got you .”

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said: "Draw lots? That white jade lottery?"

lottery?Ye Gucheng suddenly raised his head and laughed, with unspeakable misery in his laughter, "It turned out to be a lottery, a stick, the lives of my parents... Hahaha..." He took a last look at Zhu Youqing, and his figure suddenly jumped. In a flash, it has disappeared.

Lu Xiaofeng stood up, stared at Qing Wang Zhu Youqing, and slowly asked: "The last question, how do you know about us?"

But Zhu Youqing didn't answer his words, he suddenly turned to the direction of the courtyard gate, his face seemed to suddenly have endless brilliance, there was a smile on his lips, even his eyes seemed to be filled with smiles, and he said slowly: " coming."

On the path paved with cobblestones, a white figure walked slowly.

White robes, golden bells.

The pale golden sunlight shone on her body, pure and clean like an elf in the mountains.
