Ye Weixing was really heartbroken for Ye Gucheng's "violent waste" behavior, even though he didn't have an ugly beard.

She said sadly: "Do you know how much you ruined your face like this?"

These words can be said to have asked all the guards in Baiyun City, no, the aspirations of everyone in Baiyun City.

Not long after returning from Jiangnan at this time last year, Ye Gucheng grew a beard, scaring the people in Baiyun City.

Later, the guard commander who watched him grow up tentatively asked why, but he only got a cold look full of shutting up.

If the leader of the guards asked about it, the others didn't dare to say more.

But not daring to say much doesn’t mean they like Ye Gucheng’s beard. On the contrary, every time they see Ye Gucheng’s neat beard, they can’t help feeling in their hearts, such a beautiful face , Why bother their city lords!

Now that Ye Weixing asked such a sentence after being shocked, they heard it in their ears, and they wished they could raise their hands and feet to express their approval.

It's a pity that Ye Gucheng still reacted lightly.

He only frowned and said, "Is there?"

"Of course!" Ye Weixing said firmly, "When you had no beard, even Shi Guanyin would be jealous if he saw you."

It's okay if she doesn't mention this, but when she mentions this, Ye Gucheng's mind instantly echoed the sentence she said to Shi Guanyin by the West Lake at that time, my brother is more beautiful than you in women's clothing.

Thinking of this, his expression couldn't hang anymore.

He decided to skip the subject and get straight to business.

But just when he took a deep breath and was about to speak again, he saw two figures standing and sitting at the gate of the city.

"Who are they?" Ye Gucheng saw the hairpin jewelry on Wuqing's body from a distance, and without thinking about it, he decided that they were two girls.

There are indeed girls in Hidden Sword Villa, but they should be slightly younger than these two.

And none of the three little girls needed a wheelchair.

Ye Gucheng took another look to confirm that he had never seen them before, and was a little curious for a while.

In front of so many guards, Ye Weixing naturally couldn't tell the truth.

She turned her head and waved to Wuqing and Su Mengzhen, signaling them to come over.

After recruiting, she raised her eyes to meet Ye Gucheng's gaze, and said, "The one in the wheelchair is my little apprentice, and he has handicap, so I found another maid for him to take care of him on the way."

At this time, Ye Gucheng did not doubt this statement at all, and only nodded to express his understanding.

Afterwards, the group headed towards his city lord's mansion, passing the bustling market in Baiyun City on the way, and Wuqing and Su Mengzhen, who were dressed as young girls, also received a lot of amazement.

The two of them didn't care about this, and they didn't show the slightest unnatural expression, they couldn't be more alike.

But it was precisely because they were so alike, that when Ye Gucheng learned of their true identities, he didn't strain his expression.

"What?!" His tone was unsteady.

Ye Weixing admired his gaffes with great interest, and said, "You heard me right, the two of them are the eldest disciple of Zhuge Shenhou and the young master of the Golden Wind and Rain Tower. "

Ye Gucheng: "..."

He looked at the ruthless necklace, bracelet, bead flower, and Su Mengzhen with lip smeared on his lips, and he felt that Ye Weixing was really terrible, and he could do it against the heirs of Shenhou Mansion and Jinfengxiyulou This kind of thing happened.

So it is right to grow a beard, Ye Gucheng thought.

Ye Weixing didn't know what this cheap little brother made up for her in her heart. After revealing the identities of Su Mengzhen and Wuqing, she quickly changed the topic to the purpose of their trip to South China Sea.

Ye Weixing said: "What happened to Nanwang's rebellion?"

"And you said in your letter that he wants to see me, do you want me to help him?"

Ye Gucheng said yes, because Nan Wang needed a peerless master.

"Peerless master?" Wuqing has learned from Zhuge Shenhou for several years, and now he thinks from a very similar angle, so he guessed when he heard it, "He wants someone to assassinate His Majesty for him?"

"Yes." Ye Gucheng nodded.

In the whole world, there are really not many people who can enter and leave the imperial palace as if entering the land of no one.

Ye Weixing, as the number one swordsman in the world, is among them.

The rest have either been in hiding for many years, or they are simply like Zhuge Shenhou, the pillars of the country with a clear stand.

So if you want to find someone to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor, Ye Weixing is really the most suitable one.

When Su Mengzhen heard this, she felt a little strange.

Su Mengzhen said: "Now the whole world knows that Master Ye has close contacts with Shenhou Mansion and Jinfengxiyu Tower. Isn't Nan Wang afraid that if Master Ye refuses to cooperate, rumors that he wants to seek rebellion will immediately spread?" Did it leak?"

This question can be said to ask the key point.

As soon as the words fell, Wuqing and Ye Weixing frowned together.

Ye Gucheng looked at the expressions on their faces, pondered for a moment, and said, "I guess Nan Wang has a handle on my sister."

Ye Weixing: "Ah?" What excuse could she have in Nan Wang's hands?

Ye Gucheng hesitated for a while, his eyes swept over Wuqing and Su Mengzhen, and when they finally fell on Ye Weixing, he suddenly had a hint of inquiry.

Ye Weixing: "???"

She didn't react, but Wuqing and Su Mengzhen did.

Ruthlessly hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked: "Do you need me and Mr. Su to avoid it?"

Ye Weixing was even more puzzled, seeing Ye Gucheng's attitude, could it be that Nan Wang really had something to do with her?

She thought about it, but found nothing, and finally she could only say to Ye Gucheng: "Forget it, just say it."

With her words, Ye Gucheng no longer hesitated.

Ye Gucheng said: "At the beginning of this year, Nanwang came back from searching for medicine for His Majesty, and suddenly sent someone to investigate the largest bank in south of the Five Ridges."

The largest bank in south of the Five Ridges he mentioned was the one that exchanged gold for Ye Weixing back then.

The amount of that batch of gold is too large, and I'm afraid they can't get it together with all the strength of the South China Sea sects. Obviously there is a problem with the source.

Ye Gucheng knew this, but he neither investigated nor asked Ye Weixing where this batch of gold came from, and even claimed to the head of Lingnan Bank that the gold belonged to Baiyun City.

When King Nan returned to his fief at the beginning of this year, the first thing he did was to investigate the bank. The bankers were so frightened that they didn't have the guts to resist.

Not long after that, Nan Wang found Feixian Island, first invited him to discuss the plan of rebellion on the condition of the whole South China Sea, and then asked him to help him ask Ye Weixing to go back to the South China Sea for a talk.

Ye Gucheng didn't want to spread the word for him at first, because he had already told Ye Weixing about Nanwang's rebellion.

He thought that with the relationship between Ye Weixing and Zhuge Shenhou, she would definitely report this matter to the Shenhou Mansion without hesitation, and then hand it over to them for investigation, and as long as he waited for this to be sealed to Lingnan, he would still be right. It's just bad luck for the prince who is uneasy about the throne.

But Nanwang's posture was too determined, as if Ye Gucheng would help him invite people from Hangzhou, he would be able to persuade Ye Weixing to help him enter the palace to assassinate the emperor.

This certainty made Ye Gucheng unable to ignore it, so after struggling again and again, he still wrote a second letter to Ye Weixing and invited her to Nanhai.

After hearing the whole story, Ye Weixing was speechless for a while.

Fortunately, she thought that Nan Wang had some big tricks in his hands, so it turned out to be this matter!

She thought about it, reorganized her language, and told the three of them the origin of the batch of gold.

After she finished speaking, she remembered Ye Gucheng just said that Nanwang was the bank that he went to check after returning from sea.

"I reckon he met the owner of Wuming Island on his way back from the sea, that little old man who was abandoned by me and left on the island to fend for himself." She said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have known about it."

At that time, only Chu Liuxiang and Yidianhong were the only ones who acted with her. Ye Weixing could still trust the character of the four of them.

As for the other killers on Wuming Island, it is even more impossible to reveal this matter. After all, once this former killer organization is exposed to the world, these killers will encounter far more trouble than Ye Weixing.

After figuring out the hole cards in Nanwang's hand, Ye Weixing looked forward to seeing him a little more.

She asked Ye Gucheng: "When will you notify King Nan to come to see me?"

Ye Gucheng: "Anytime."

Ye Weixing immediately said that it will be tomorrow, and the sooner this matter is resolved, the better.

Wuqing and Su Mengzhen have no objection to this, and they also hope that the matter of King Nan's rebellion can be resolved as soon as possible, so that they can return to the capital as soon as possible to help their elders.

After the discussion, Ye Gucheng called someone to take them to rest.

As for Ye Weixing, he hasn't seen her in a year, so of course he has to fight her in a sword fight.

Ye Weixing: "..."

My friend, you are really persistent.

Like countless times in the past, before drawing out the sword, he habitually took out the bank note and handed it to her.

Ye Weixing looked at the familiar denomination on the bank note, and was about to stretch out his hand when he caught a glimpse of the beard on his face from the corner of his eye, and changed his mind immediately.

She put down her hand, clicked her tongue and said, "What I have now is money, and the bank notes are fine."

Ye Gucheng: "?" Why did he suddenly have a bad feeling?

Ye Weixing continued: "How about this, I will accompany you to fight one game for free, no, two games, and you shave your beard after the fight, how about it?"

Ye Gucheng: "..."

Seeing his perplexed face, she immediately raised the stakes: "Three games?"

Ye Gucheng: "Just shave?"

She nodded: "Yes, what else?"

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

With the cool night wind in early summer, the two played their first match at the old place where Ye Weixing used to be his training partner.

The water in the sword washing pool was drawn from a cold pool behind the city lord's mansion. It was already much colder than sea water, and when it was wrapped with Ye Weixing's sword energy, it was even more chilling.

But Ye Gucheng, who was in it, didn't care.

In the past year, he has been practicing sword alone at sunrise and sunset, and he has learned a lot in the way of swordsmanship. His sword posture has changed again and has become more and more stable. The sword he uses now has completely shed his youthful childishness .

He still uses the sword that Ye Weixing gave him, but he will no longer be troubled by the sword itself.

In other words, he probably found his own way.

For a top swordsman, finding and firmly believing in one's own way is the most important part of sword practice.

As long as you pass this link, winning or losing after that is not so important.

Ye Gucheng has figured this out now, he is absolutely sure that he still can't beat Ye Weixing, but that's no big deal, only by admitting the gap between them, can he slowly narrow that gap.

This time the two fought for almost a quarter of an hour before it ended.

When retracting the sword, Ye Gucheng heard her boast that she had made great progress.

He thought for a while and said, "You too."

He used to think that a swordsman who reached the number one position in the world might stop there, but Ye Weixing was obviously not like that, and he felt it even more after the fight just now.

Hearing this, Ye Weixing accepted the compliment with a smile, took a final step forward, stared into his beautiful eyes and said, "Why don't we do it again?"

Ye Gucheng: "..." Why don't you just say that you will finish three games now and shave immediately? ? ?
