[Comprehensive martial arts] Jin Yiwei

Tea House.

When everyone entered, they saw a white-clothed man sitting there facing them, his expression extremely quiet.

He was wearing a long brocade robe, his hair was tied loosely at the back, and he wore a dark moon-white headband. When everyone came in, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, forgive Ye for being too far away."

His tone of speech was neither humble nor overbearing, neither happy nor angry, neither very restrained nor out of courtesy.

Qu Yuqi looked at Ye Gucheng for a moment, then laughed loudly: "City Master Ye, I have long admired your name."

Ye Gucheng asked Nongyue to lead the crowd to sit down, and then said: "Please."

It was still concise and to the point, but Tang Wuying liked this mode very much, so he took his seat.

A pot of incense slices, the aroma is lingering.

Nongyue poured tea one by one, then calmly withdrew.

Ye Gucheng looked around at the few people present: "Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower Qi, Master Tang, Commander of Jinyiwei, this one..."

He was obviously looking at the little-known Wu Hui.

The title of daughter-in-law is just called at home, Qu Qiqi said very kindly: "Wu Hui, Jin Yiwei."

Ye Gucheng nodded, and the banquet fell into silence again.

After a long time, until Qu Yuqi had finished drinking a cup of tea, he finally couldn't help but asked, "Master Ye invited us here, why?"

Ye Gucheng's expression was slightly restrained: "The King of the South has already approached the city, and the leader of the Tang Dynasty must have informed the emperor."

Qu Kuiqi was silent, and silence often represented a kind of acquiescence, but at this time Ye Gucheng's expression was clear, and he didn't seem to have the slightest hesitation.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Gucheng added lightly: "On the night of the full moon, on the top of the purple gold, this is the battle between Gu and Ximen."

There can be many explanations for this sentence, but everyone understood Ye Gucheng's implication.

"City Master Ye means... that he will no longer participate in the affairs of the Southern King." Tang Wuying asked, but his tone was firm.

"Yes." Ye Gucheng nodded.

"In this case..." Qu Yuqi couldn't help but asked, "Why should Lord Ye come back..."

Why bother?

Why do you have to join forces with Nanwang?

Why is it necessary to use Ximen Chuuxue to escape from Nan Wang's restraint?

Why should we come here?

If Ye Gucheng hadn't come to the door, they would not have focused on the decisive battle between the two.

However, Ye Gucheng chose to confess.

In the memory that Qu Yuqi has, he and Ye Gucheng have never had any intersections. He lives in the South China Sea and has never participated in the disputes in the Central Plains.

For so long, Ye Gucheng has always been lonely in people's impression.

He doesn't like to interact with people too much, and he also doesn't like others to intervene in his life.

But now everything is different, he came to the Central Plains, and came in front of everyone.

However, Ye Gucheng was always quiet. He sat there quietly drinking a cup of tea, and his whole person seemed to be a painting.

Ye Gucheng smiled, and his expression was cold: "People will always change."

He said so.

Qu Yuqi clenched his hand suddenly, and he looked at Tang Wuying, in exchange for Tang Wuying's comforting eyes.

"City Master Ye has made up his mind?" Tang Wuying asked.

"Naturally." Ye Gucheng responded lightly.

On the day of parting, Ye Gucheng called out and stopped a few people.

"There is one other thing..." Ye Gucheng frowned slightly.

"What?" Tang Wuying asked.

Ye Gucheng said: "If Nan Wang still sends troops in the name of the previous dynasty, Gu will deal with it."

He is clearing up his relationship with Nan Wang, even though it seems very weak.

Qu Kuiqi sighed: "Why does City Lord Ye have to do this?"

If Ye Gucheng can't go all out before the decisive battle, then his chances of winning are probably quite low.

But he still chose to fight, he chose to go to the appointment, to Ximen Chuuxue's life and death appointment.

It seemed that at this very moment, the corners of Ye Gucheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing an extremely peaceful smile: "Once a word is spoken, it is hard to chase after it."

Everyone drank a pot of tea in a hurry, and talked about this somewhat inexplicable conversation in a hurry.

However, on the way back, everyone's heart was a little heavy.

Did you stand at the pinnacle of martial arts, so you have more things than others, and therefore you have more burdens than others?

Is it just because I was too lonely that I walked so far, and that's why I chose to give up at the last moment and go to that life-and-death appointment alone?

Or -

Is it just because one of them is Ye Gucheng and the other is Ximen Chuuxue, so this is their irreversible fate?

Qu Kuiqi clenched his fists, looked at Tang Wuying and said in a low voice, "If Master Ximen and Ye Gucheng can be friends, then..."

"They are friends." Tang Wuying affirmed.

"What?" Qu Qiqi was startled.

"He's not a friend." Tang Wuying repeated.

Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, they understand each other's deepest wishes, and they can also understand each other's harsh pursuit of the sword.

There is no one better than them to be each other's opponents, and this makes their decisive battle inevitable.

This is their fate.

"What a pity." Qu Yuqi sighed.

Tang Wuying stretched out his hand and lightly stroked the top of Qu Qiqi's hair.

What an ordinary movement, Wu Hui and Qi Shaoshang who followed behind looked at each other, and then looked away tacitly, one looked to the left and the other to the right.

Wu Hui was stunned for a moment: "Ah, Mr. Gu."

Qi Shaoshang ignored him.

Qi Shaoshang has always done a very good job of drawing a line with Wu Hui!

Wu Hui stepped aside, and Gu Xichao simply stood on Qi Shaoshang's left.

Qi Shaoshang was stunned, looking at his nose and heart.

"..." Gu Xichao stretched out his hand, and the wind brushed her lightly.

Qi Shaoshang laughed, and stretched out his hand to grab it: "Xi Chao."

"Just found out it was me?" Gu Xichao was dissatisfied.

"I found out a long time ago." Qi Shaoshang smiled.

If it wasn't for you, why would I ever let someone get so close to me?

Gu Xichao ignored him, walked a few steps forward and stood beside Qu Yuqi: "Your Majesty."

He cupped his fists and continued: "Just now General Lingxuan asked his subordinates to report that the army has reached the periphery of the Southern King's army, and they have dispatched all the elite troops, and now they are pretending to be doing a drill and not sending out troops."

"Very good." Qu Yuqi nodded: "Thanks for your hard work."

He sincerely said to Gu Xichao.

This time, because of Nanwang's affairs, Gu Xichao and Qi Shaoshang really realized that they get together less and leave more. What's more, Gu Xichao has always been on the periphery and has never entered Nanwang's sight. Let me say a few words now, I'm afraid I am busy going back again.

Qi Shaoshang felt a little distressed, but didn't say anything.

Gu Xichao saw that he was about to arrive at another courtyard, so he simply said goodbye to everyone.

Qi Shaoshang stretched out his hand, Gu Xichao was slightly startled.

Qi Shaoshang smiled, reached out and gently hugged the proud man in front of him.

Gu Xichao... never knew what it meant to show weakness. He was used to the busyness of life, and he took it for granted.

What he is most unaccustomed to is the care and attention of others.

"Shao Shang." Gu Xichao's voice was slightly hoarse.

"What?" Qi Shaoshang was taken aback.

"I can't breathe anymore." Gu Xichao laughed, broke out of Qi Shaoshang's embrace, and patted Qi Shaoshang's back lightly: "I'll be back soon."

"En." Qi Shaoshang nodded, his voice was inexplicably hoarse.

On this day, they went back but did not see Tang Yiye.

Nanwang set up the banquet with a calm expression. When asked about Tang Yiye, he showed a slightly surprised expression: "Did the leader of the Tang alliance not accompany you?"

Nan Wang's expression showed no trace of falsehood, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang has dealt with official duties for a day, but he didn't see President Tang."

He flatly denied it, and Tang Yiye didn't leave even a single word.

To be honest, even if Tang Yiye had known that Nan Wang would leave him, no one would have thought that he would leave so suddenly.

Wu Hui's face was extremely ugly. He looked at the empty room, which had no temperature at all, and the anxiety in his heart could hardly be suppressed.

The words Tang Yiye left before his departure still lingered in his ears, Wu Hui could only clenched his fists, then slowly let them go, taking a deep breath to calm himself down.

Tang Yiye's sudden departure made everyone's emotions tense up. With Tang Yiye's ability, it is impossible to say that there is no struggle at all, so there is only one possibility——

He was invited to leave, but there was no way to leave even a word.

Thinking about it this way is within the plan.

The only person who can't accept it is probably Wu Hui. He is lying on the couch, and the cold touch on the couch reminds him all the time that Tang Yiye is gone——

Risk alone.

The next day, Tang Yiye still didn't come back.

The hole between the two rooms has never been used, Tang Wuying pushed in through the front door: "You are here."

Wu Hui raised his eyes, the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious.

He silently nodded: "Master Tang."

"Didn't you call me Master before?" Tang Wuying asked.

Wu Hui paused, his face a bit embarrassed: "Master..."

"Don't worry, this is Yiye's own choice. I didn't stop him because I had my own considerations." Tang Wuying said in silence for a moment.

What consideration?

Wu Hui couldn't figure it out. All he could understand was that Tang Yiye chose to lurk for the benefit of everyone. He had no position to stop it, let alone criticize it.

He just felt a little uncomfortable, the kind of heart-pumping discomfort.

Gently patted Wu Hui's shoulder, Tang Wuying said: "I can't let you find him, sorry."

Wu Hui was taken aback by this apology: "I didn't..."

"Because I don't know where he is." Tang Wuying sighed: "But before the two soldiers meet, everything will come to light."

And all we can do is wait.

Either waiting for the news from Gu Xichao, or waiting for Tang Yiye's words, or...waiting for the irrepressible Nanwang.

Wu Hui nodded, with a little shame on his face: "I'm sorry, Master, I don't have anything to do on the list."

"Only you can make Yiye try his best to come back, which is already very important." Qu Qiqi, who pushed the door to enter, said sincerely.

His expression was very serious, with a kind of tenderness that made people's eyes sore.

Wu Hui lowered his eyes and paused for a long time before nodding vigorously: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When the knot is untied, things become much easier.

This day was no different from any other day. Everyone had a happy meal, and Qu Qiqi even praised Nan Wang's cook.

Nan Wang was the only one who seemed worried during the dinner. Everyone knew what he was thinking, but no one spoke, and Nan Wang could only keep silent to himself.

"He's whetting our appetite." After returning to the room, Qu Yuqi said to Tang Wuying.

Tang Wuying nodded: "Yes, he is waiting for us to ask Tang Yiye's whereabouts."

"If he asks, I will tell him that the leader of the Wulin has something to do, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't become a Jinyiwei." Qu Qiqi thought for a while and said.

"...Will it seem too deliberate?" Tang Wuying frowned.

"Then what should we do?" Qu Yuqi frowned and asked Tang Wuying for his opinion.

He frowned very nicely, obviously a little annoyed, but he looked like a child, almost pouted to express his dissatisfaction.

Tang Wuying's heart fluttered slightly, and he said, "Maybe we can do whatever we want."

"Expressing doubts arouses dissatisfaction in Nanwang's heart. He has already reached this point, so he can only make dangerous moves." Qu Yuqi's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands.

"Doubt Nanwang, and then completely oppose him, so that Nanwang will show his cards without any scruples." Tang Wuying nodded: "It's a good idea."

Thinking of this, Qu Yuqi put on his clothes immediately: "I'm going to meet King Nan, you..."

"Of course I'll be with you." Tang Wuying followed suit.

Qu Kuiqi showed a subtle expression of disapproval: "You..."

Tang Wuying raised his eyebrows: "What?"

The moment he put on his clothes, he showed off his strong six-pack abs, showing off like a show off.

Qu Yuqi raised his head: "This one is not allowed to be worn."

In case of a move, it will be gone!

Tang Wuying looked down inexplicably, and nodded with curved lips: "Oh."

After finishing speaking, he made a gesture and said, "I'll tear off this clothes."

"Don't..." Qu Yuqi became anxious immediately, and rushed over to protect his clothes.

Tang Wuying couldn't help laughing, and leaned forward, kissing Qu Yuqi's lips firmly, and it was a while of rubbing.

"Well... that's enough for you." Qu Yuqi blushed from the kiss, and looked up at him.

Tang Wuying smiled slightly: "I will only wear it for you to see from now on."

"Okay, okay." Even though being kissed disheveledly and humiliating the country, Qu Yuqi still complied without temper: "Show me when you wear the military uniform!"

"Okay." Tang Wuying agreed dotingly.

"Then... Shall I make clothes for you in the future?" Qu Yuqi's eyes sparkled.

Tang Wuying was startled: "You know this?"

"Of course!" Qu Qiqi patted his chest excitedly.

To make clothes for you, isn't that just a few pieces of cloth!

I just want to see where to look!

Tang Wuying couldn't laugh or cry, he saw everything through his wolf-like eyes: "It's time to go."

"Oh." Qu Yuqi, who immediately understood the priorities, immediately followed obediently.

"Don't forget... the attitude must be strong but weak." Tang Wuying reminded.

Qu Yuqi laughed, that's necessary.

It's been a long time since I've released such cool acting skills. It's a runaway horse!

A moonless night.

Ye Gucheng once again ushered in an unexpected guest.

"The master of Ximen is very elegant." Ye Gucheng smiled wryly.

Ximen Chuuxue seems to have the habit of coming without warning, his self-cultivation prevented him from breaking into the small courtyard, but made a stone statue at the door.

Fortunately, Ye Gucheng pushed the door out, otherwise he might not see anyone all night.

Seeing the faint cold dew on Ximen Chuixue's body, Ye Gucheng was stunned: "But have you waited for a long time?"

There was a light exchange of greetings between them, as if they were familiar friends.

However, they are not, so Ximen Chuuxue's expression is still slightly cool: "No."

Ye Gucheng didn't ask much, just nodded slightly: "Please."

Ximen Chuuxue followed and closed the door behind him.

The old wooden door creaked, and it didn't feel out of harmony in the silent night.

The two sat down in front of the stone table, Ye Gucheng paused, held the teapot with his slender fingers and shook it gently, and said calmly: "There is no more tea, Ximen can drink?"

"Drinking, but... that's all for today." Ximen Chuixue's eyes finally had some turbulence because of this question.

Ye Gucheng also raised his head and looked over quietly.

Knowing that Ye Gucheng was waiting for his explanation, Ximen Chuixue said: "Before the decisive battle, I will fast and bathe for three days."

"...Ximen, as the rumors say, is the one who treats the sword with sincerity." Ye Gucheng's smile was vaguely bitter.

He played with the wine cup lightly, with a calm expression on his face.

That bitter smile was quickly hidden by him, as if nothing had ever happened.

But Simon has such good eyesight, he can't pretend nothing happened when he sees it.

So Ximen asked, "How about the city lord?"

"Since you are the lord of the city, you naturally have a lot of external affairs." Ye Gucheng was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly: "The past is over."

These four words carry the indifference of breaking the world.

As Ximen Chuuxue heard it, he felt a subtle movement in his mind.

"Seven days later..." Ximen Chuuxue said suddenly.

Ye Gucheng could hear the hesitation in his voice, would Ximen Sword God also hesitate?

This recognition made Ye Gucheng inexplicably happy, but he just said firmly: "Gu will definitely attend the appointment."

"Thank you." Ximen Chuuxue said in silence for a moment.

He reached out to touch the teapot. The teapot was full and the tea was still warm.

Ye Gucheng's expression moved subtly, and then returned to calm again.

"What kind of wine?" Ximen Chuuxue asked.

"Pear blossom white." Ye Gucheng said the name of the wine.

"Okay." Ximen Chuuxue's brows and eyes relaxed slightly.

Ye Gucheng was a little surprised: "Isn't the owner not drinking?"

"Not yet three days." Ximen Chuuxue said.

Ye Gucheng smiled slightly.

Accustomed to drinking alone under the moon, Ye Gucheng seems to be drinking with someone for the first time.

This feeling is very good, almost addictive. Fortunately, Ye Gucheng has a clear mind, and he will not be moved by all this until early in the morning.

Ximen Chuuxue sat on the opposite side, they were all dressed in white, one was affectionate and the other was ruthless.

It's a pity that a lover has already lost his love, so he is more lonely than a loverless person.

"After seven days, I will go all out." Ye Gucheng said.

Alcohol is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated, but they are all clear-headed, and no one has ever been intoxicated.

So sometimes, drinking too much may not be a good thing.

Ximen Chuuxue fixed his gaze on the wine jar for a second, but this time, he didn't say anything.
