Lianhua Manlou

The moon is already in the middle of the sky, and everything seems to be out of order.

The roof of the main hall is covered with golden glazed tiles, looking under the moon, it looks like a golden world.

The front and back of the ridge of the hall were almost full of people, except for the five people Lu Xiaofeng knew, there were thirteen more mysterious figures who did not want to reveal their true colors, and the seven guards with swords in front of the imperial court were obviously masters in the inner circle, I want to see the demeanor of the two contemporary swordsmen.

Ding Ao, Ding Siye, one of the top four masters, was pale and sneered. The four doors had been sealed, not even a fly would be let in. There was such a big mistake, he only wanted to find out the truth and save his life just fine.

Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng have already experienced swords, and there is only one person they can trust - Lu Xiaofeng, even though he himself thinks this matter is really boring.Because the two had no grievances or enmity, but they wished to pierce each other's throat with a sword.

The people watching the battle were extremely eager, but the two holding the swords were very calm, and it could even be said that they were talking coldly. The full moon seems to have lost its color and is not affected at all.

Ximen Chuixue was expressionless, raised the sword in his hand, and said coldly: "This sword is the sharpest weapon in the world. The blade is three feet seven inches, and the net weight is seven catties and 13 taels."

Ye Gucheng said: "Good sword!"

Ximen Chuixue said: "It is indeed a good sword!"

Ye Gucheng also raised the sword in his hand, and said: "This sword is the elite of overseas cold swords, blowing hair and breaking hair, the blade is three feet three, and the net weight is six catties and four taels."

Ximen Chuixue said: "Good sword!"

Gucheng said: "This is a good sword!"

Suddenly, there was a dragon chant, and the sword energy soared into the sky.Ye Gucheng's sword was out of its sheath.The sword also seemed pale in the moonlight.Pale moon, pale sword, pale face.

Ye Gucheng stared at Ximen Chuuxue, his eyes were as bright as cold stars, and said, "Please."

Ximen Chuuxue's eyes were equally enthusiastic. He took out his sword, and the movement of the sword was not fast. The movement of the person was very slow, but the movement of the blade was very fast. Every move was a sword that must kill and win.Their people have long been fused with their swords, the human sword is one, this is the heart sword!

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, no words could describe their swordsmanship, they could do whatever they wanted, with ever-changing changes, this was already the highest state of swordsmanship!

Ye Gucheng's sword is like a gust of wind outside the white clouds, peerless coldness and aloofness, like a flying fairy descending, the world is overshadowed by his wide sleeves and relaxed, he finally swung his sword of the highest state - the flying fairy outside the sky!

Ximen Chuuxue's soul trembled, his eyes were as hot as fire, he stared intently at the tip of Ye Gucheng's sword, and also swung his most brilliant sword, the sword energy pierced the sky, split the sea tide, shocked the sky, and thunder rolled!

Lu Xiaofeng's fingertips were already freezing cold, and the distance between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue was already very close!Both swords have thrust out with all their strength!This was already the last sword, the decisive sword, but Ximen Chuuxue's sword was a step slower!

This fate can no longer be changed!

The two swords pressed against each other's chest at the same time, Ye Gucheng's eyes flickered slightly, his sword had already touched the opponent's heart, while Ximen Chuuxue's sword only pierced the flesh, but the distance of one or two inches was life and death. .Smiles suddenly appeared on the faces of both of them, whether it was Ye Gucheng or the fallen Ximen Chuuxue, they seemed to be satisfied, enjoying the feelings that only they could understand.

Everyone was silent, and their hearts were extremely complicated, full of agitation and regret.Lu Xiaofeng rushed over in a hurry, his eyes were red, his teeth were gritted, he was in a daze, the once powerful Ximen Chuuxue fell silently in front of him, his heart was very cold, he thought Ximen Chuuxue's body was It's not that he's as cold as himself, the blood has already stained his white clothes red, and the wind blew the corners of his clothes, making him feel a bit desolate.

Ye Gucheng bent down and picked up Ximen Chuuxue's sword. This was an agreement before the battle. From then on, Ximen Chuuxue's sword was his sword.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly grasped the tip of Ximen Chuuxue's sword, he didn't use his favorite consonant finger, but simply grasped it, and then let go, his palm was already wet.

A sporadic smile suddenly appeared in Ye Gucheng's eyes, and he said lightly, "Lu Xiaofeng, if you don't stop the bleeding for Ximen Chuuxue, I'm afraid he will really die."

Lu Xiaofeng raised his head abruptly, his eyes sparkled with excitement, he carefully held Ximen Fuxue's wrist, and then the arc of his mouth became more and more cracked, and finally he almost looked crazy, crying and laughing.He saved Ximen Chuuxue, nodded his thanks to Ye Gucheng, and flew away amidst the pity and sympathy of everyone, at this time he actually didn't care about any earth-shattering conspiracy!

Ye Gucheng's sword pierced Ximen Chuuxue's heart, but it didn't pierce through, and the difference between one word and the other made a huge difference.Relying on Lu Xiaofeng's ability, it was not difficult to save Ximen Chuuxue's life.

"Bang—bang!" There were two extremely loud explosions, and a group of bright red fireworks rushed into the sky and shot out from the top.

Ding Ao's expression changed and he ran desperately towards the direction of the fireworks, followed by Tu Fang and Yin Xian. The guards drew their bows and drew their knives out of their sheaths, aiming at a group of martial arts practitioners.

Even if the martial arts of the Jianghu people are strong, they are always difficult to beat with two fists, let alone a well-trained army.Everyone didn't move rashly, and Ye Gucheng didn't move either. He focused on the distance and showed a meaningful smile. His dark eyes danced with a faint light, as if he had undergone a transformation quietly, and something was unconsciously change between.

In the depths of the forbidden palace,

The young emperor looked at Wang An and Prince Nan with a sneer. Behind him were four people who were less than three feet tall, with small eyes, big noses, protruding heads and deflated mouths. They were all exactly the same in figure, appearance, clothing, and decoration.They are funny, but the swords in their hands are not funny at all.

The sword was one foot and seven inches long, the blue light was flickering, and the cold air was overwhelming. Three people used double swords, and one person used a single sword. Can't open it.They are Yu family brothers from Yunmen Mountain, Seven Star Pond, and Flying Fish Castle.There are only a handful of people who can break their battle.

The sword light shone on the emperor's face.

The emperor said: "Cut!"

The brilliance of the seven swords flowed, and the starlight flickered, immediately enveloped Nanwang Shizi and Wang An.

Wang An's expression didn't change.

Nan Wang Shizi waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Break."

The shouts came out, and suddenly, a stern light flew obliquely, like a startled light striking electricity, like a long rainbow passing through the sky.

The sword lights all over the sky intersected, and suddenly there were four sounds of "ding, ding, ding, ding", sparks splashed everywhere, and all the sword lights all over the sky suddenly disappeared.

The only light left is a folding fan, an ivory folding fan with extremely fine workmanship.The person holding the fan has a stern face and stern eyebrows, both proud and conceited.Wearing a purple gold beaded crown, a stone blue court dress, embroidered with five claws and four groups of dragons, one on each shoulder, one on the front and one on the back, with complicated and gorgeous patterns in between.

The emperor finally changed his face, and said sharply, "Prince Taiping!"

Gong Jiu's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't mean to kneel down to salute at all, but raised his voice, "My lord, please greet the emperor."

The son of the Nan Wang hurriedly said: "The son of the Taiping prince has done a great job in rescuing him, so there is no need to be polite."

Gong Jiu was noncommittal, just stood there coldly and looked at the emperor, neither dodging nor dodging, calm and composed.

The emperor said, "It seems that Prince Taiping's residence doesn't want to live a leisurely life, and must be a traitor?!"

Gong Jiu said, "Success is a king, and defeat is a thief. Your Majesty knows this truth better than anyone else, so why pretend not to know it? What's more, the king is no longer a king, and the thief is no longer a thief."

The emperor sighed: "You are a beautiful woman, how can you follow a thief?"

Gong Jiu said with a smile, "If I obey the emperor, what benefits can the emperor give my minister? If I can't satisfy my minister..."

The emperor's face darkened, and he sneered, "You want to kill me?"

Gong Jiu said with a smile, "How could that be? That's a serious crime of treason! Your Majesty can rest assured."

Prince Nan and Wang An both changed their faces, and Prince Nan exclaimed tremblingly, "You want to break the contract, don't forget Ye..." He stopped talking for a moment, because there were already many wounds on his neck. There was a thin bloodstain, which gradually began to bleed profusely.Prince Nan didn't even realize that he was dead, he touched his neck in the astonished eyes of everyone, then twitched unwillingly and fell to the ground.

Wang An fell to the ground with limp legs and feet, begging for mercy. He was already very old, and he looked very pitiful.But neither of the two people standing in the room looked at him again, because he was destined to be dead.

The emperor sneered, "What does this mean, Prince Taiping?"

Gong Jiudao, "Of course it is to set things right."

The emperor said coldly, "Is Prince Taiping going to abandon the dark and turn to the bright?"

Gong Jiudao: "Your Majesty has wronged my minister. How can I say that I have never been in the dark?"

The emperor sneered and said nothing.

Gong Jiu said again, "I heard that the emperor likes to eat Ruyi fruit from Qianyun Kingdom with bamboo leaf green wine. This fruit is ripe every five years and it is not easy to preserve. It is very rare that it will never exceed ten catties once it can be brought into the palace as a tribute."

The emperor's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition filled his heart, and he forced himself to calm down and said, "So what."

Gong Jiu said with a smile: "I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know, there is a kind of Gu insect in southern border who also likes this kind of fruit."

"Are you bewitched to me?!" The emperor exclaimed angrily.

Gong Jiudao: "How could it be a minister, this Gu was obviously brought into the palace by the prince."

There were already messy footsteps outside the hall, and the emperor was overjoyed.

Gong Jiu took out a slender bamboo tube from his sleeve, and regretfully said: "It seems that our conversation is coming to an end, what a pity." He blew towards the emperor suddenly, and saw a white light flying out of the bamboo tube, It quickly got into the emperor's body, and in just a moment, the emperor's face was already pale, he was lying on the ground, his eyes were dull, and his body was exhausted at an incredible speed.

"Wang Gonggong should know how to say it." Gong Jiu cast a cold look at the old eunuch huddled in a corner.

The door was finally broken open, and there were corpses all over the ground, except for the emperor and eunuch Wang An.

Ding Ao was terrified, wishing he could just faint like this, he picked up Wang An and asked in a bitter voice, "What's going on?"

Wang An flinched a little, and cried tremblingly: "The son of the Southern Prince conspired to rebel, Your Majesty, His Majesty has been poisoned, and he is about to die!"

No.20 two storms

In the sixth year of Yuanshuo, the emperor fell ill and moved to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The emperor's uncle, King Dingbei, temporarily took over the government...

-

August [-]th, Huafu.

It has been rainy for several days, and it is rare to see a clear sky, and even people's mood improves.Huamanlou's wound healed very well. Although the bandage still couldn't be removed, she could already feel a slight itching pain, which was enough to make everyone happy.

Now Hua Ruling loves and hates Wang Lianhua, and thinks how many days are left before Huamanlou recovers. In the end, she simply loses sight and goes out with her sons to inspect the property, leaving only Hua Ruling behind. Manyuan and Huamancheng sit in the Hua family and take care of Huamanlou by the way.

Hua Mancheng is obviously quite lively, so early in the morning he clamored for a "dinner!" Although Wang Lianhua and the others didn't quite understand what a banquet was, it probably meant having a meal together.Huamanyuan set up the place in the gazebo in the garden.

The gazebo is built by the water, leaning against the red willows, although it is already autumn, it is still full of vitality and a prosperous and lively scene.Compared with Huamancheng, Huamanyuan is a very serious and calm person, but he will never make people feel dull and boring. He can always express his views appropriately and be convincing.

The four of them sat around a stone table, on which were mostly fresh melon and fruit snacks, a pot of wine, a pot of tea, and four rhino horn wine cups, and the atmosphere was not bad.

Only Hua Manlou said helplessly: "I can't drink alcohol, what do you use the wine cup for?"

Hua Mancheng graciously picked up the teapot and filled his wine cup, laughed and said, "Don't care, don't care! The weather is so good, don't let it down!"

Wang Lianhua also picked up the wine glass and said with a giggle: "Then I will congratulate the sixth son in advance for his wealth and wealth, and the house is full of gold and silver."

Hua Mancheng patted his chest and said, "Thank you for your good words, let's talk about it!"

Huamanyuan frowned, but didn't say much.It's not that he didn't know that Hua Mancheng spent a million taels to participate in the duel between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng, but he didn't stop it either.It's good to win, but losing can also be a rare lesson. Hua Mancheng has been living a very smooth life and has never been hit in the slightest. It's time for him to grow up.

"Ah, here we come!" Hua Mancheng was overjoyed and rushed to the vermilion railing to catch the carrier pigeon that fell from the sky.

"It seems that the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue has come to an end." Wang Lianhua looked at Huamanyuan meaningfully, Huamanyuan nodded slightly and remained silent.

Hua Mancheng excitedly took out the note, and said happily, "Let me see, let me see how much... how much I have earned!!!!" The mouth suddenly opened wide, the eyes stared round, in a frightened and frightened way. The expression, the ending sound is almost a scream.

Hua Mancheng trembling hands, trembling and blushing, but he didn't know whether it was anger or anger. After a long time, he raised his head to the sky and screamed in grief, "Ximen Chuuxue, I'll bite you to death! Ah! Ah!"

Hua Manlou called out worriedly: "Sixth brother, the owner of Ximen lost? Then he..."

Hua Mancheng suddenly raised his head, swayed, and let out a strange laugh, "Three... one million taels, three million taels... three million, one million taels, one million taels..."

Hua Manyuan got up and said coldly, "Nothing! The Hua family will not pay for you, it's stealing or robbing you to figure out a way for yourself!" After finishing speaking, only a neat and unrestrained back was left behind.

Hua Mancheng burst into tears, "Qitong, I heard that Lu Xiaofeng knew Sikong Zaixing."

Hua ManLou was puzzled, "Yes, we still meet once."

Hua Mancheng: "I heard that he is the king of stealing kings? Is lightness kung fu very good? How good is it?"

Hua Manlou nodded, "If he doesn't want to, almost no one can catch up to him."

Hua Mancheng held Hua Manlou's hand eagerly, and said hesitantly, "Then do you think it's too late for me to learn from a teacher?"

Hua ManLou "………………………………"

Wang Lianhua laughed unceremoniously with a "puchi".

Imperial Capital, Hefangzhai,

Lu Xiaofeng hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, even if Ye Gucheng kept his hand, Ximen Chuuxue's situation would be much more difficult than imagined.The fire of the medicine stove never stopped, and Ye Xingshi also had red eyes and was exhausted.He was originally the only lay disciple of Master Shaolin Tiejian, and one of the four famous doctors with a long-standing reputation in the Jianghu. His superb medical skills are recognized all over the world.

But Ximen Chuuxue has never woken up, or is unwilling to wake up, because he has lost, or he is already satisfied in this life.But Lu Xiaofeng is not willing to lose a friend like him, life is so beautiful, and Ximen Chuuxue should still have a lot of time to enjoy it, squander it, and savor it.It's like Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship has risen to a new level, it is no longer limited to killing and being killed, but it has a taste of sudden enlightenment.It is not good?

"Life is saved, it's up to him whether he wakes up or not," Ye Xingshi said.

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you for your kindness!"

Ye Xingshi smiled slightly, and said: "Your luck is indeed very good, if you go one step later that day, you may have to be involved in the imperial court."

The vortex of power struggle can't come out. "

Lu Xiaofeng tensed his face, "Sikong Zhaoxing and the others have not been released yet?"

Ye Xingshi said, "You also know that the imperial court has its own set of procedures, no matter what it must go through the process, even Ye Gucheng is no exception."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "It seems that the current situation is not too bad."

Ye Xingshi laughed and said, "Who dares to act rashly with the [-] troops of the Huben Camp sitting in the capital? Your Majesty is wise, it's a pity that luck is a little bit off, and he made wedding clothes for others for nothing."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "If I were King Dingbei, I would laugh out loud in my dreams, but it's a pity...it's better to avoid the capital as soon as possible."

"Are you leaving?" A figure slowly approached outside the door, with black hair and long clothes, two long swords hanging from his waist, with stern features and high temperament, but it was Ye Gucheng.

Lu Xiaofeng said happily, "You finally came out." Although they were not sent to prison, they were only asked to temporarily live in a heavily guarded palace, where they were provided with delicious food and drink, but it was a great constraint for people like them.Not to mention that kind of place... tsk tsk.

Ye Gucheng nodded to them, his eyes fell on Ximen Chuuxue, and he asked, "How is the owner of Ximen?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "My life is saved, but the situation is not very good."

Ye Gucheng said, "You just said you want to leave after letting go?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "It's always not safe here, and Ximen doesn't know when he will wake up. I want to send him back to Wanmei Villa before making any plans."

Ye Gucheng agreed, "That's fine, I'm looking forward to the day when Master Ximen can get back his sword. I'll wait for him!"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly, "I'm really scared of you guys, I don't know if I'm still alive if I do it again."

Ye Gucheng rarely had a smile in his eyes, "You have always been lucky and fateful, so you can't die easily, otherwise you wouldn't be Lu Xiaofeng."

Lu Xiaofeng blinked, "Although I have a phoenix in my name, I am not a real phoenix. I can be immortal and reborn in nirvana. I always worry that one day my good luck will run out, and it will be very miserable."

Ye Xingshi said, "Then who knows? You have to read it."

"I knew it, you always like to see my jokes." Lu Xiaofeng screamed.

Ye Gucheng laughed, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "If the master Ximen can't wake up, you can go to Huamanlou."

Lu Xiaofeng said strangely, "When did he become a miracle doctor, but I don't know."

Ye Gucheng said, "I don't know if Ta Cheng has become a genius doctor, but I know that there is someone beside her who can definitely cure Ximen Chuuxue."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Then you can tell me now, wouldn't it be better for me to set off right away?"

Ye Gucheng sighed, "You should know that strange people always have some eccentricities, and you have to pay some price to invite them, and I'm talking about this person especially, don't go to him unless you have to."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Is it really so scary?"

Ye Gucheng remained silent, and Lu Xiaofeng also fell silent.And Ximen Chuuxue closed his eyes tightly, and seemed to be in a very deep sleep.
