Ye Gucheng opened his eyes.

When he came out of his closed cave, the first thing he saw was Ye Ying who was holding a flame and quietly looking at the sea.

Pursing his lips, Ye Gucheng walked up to Ye Ying, and suddenly said: "The master of the village, the God of Hidden Sword, is it really God who loves Hidden Sword?"

Ye Ying was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Ye Gucheng to ask this question.He actually didn't know that Ye Gucheng would go out of the closed door today, because this time Ye Gucheng's closed door closed for a surprisingly long time.Ye Ying is just used to walking outside Ye Gucheng's closed cave every day.He is no longer a pure mortal body, and his response to sword energy is also different from ordinary people.

Every time Ye Ying walked outside the cave where Ye Gucheng retreated, she could always feel a slight change in Ye Gucheng's sword energy.In the past few days, what he felt was actually confusion.

Ye Gucheng is in charge of a city, breaking the cycle of reincarnation, and reversing time. He has been very firm along the way, and has never been so confused.Ye Ying did not witness Ye Gucheng's growth, but he wanted to know that Ye Gucheng's confusion was not normal.

Although Ye Gucheng has been alone for many years, and he is not even as young as he looks, Ye Ying still regards him as a child of the Ye family.Since she is a child, Ye Ying must pay more attention to it.It is because of this that Ye Ying often wanders outside Ye Gucheng's closed cave these days, carefully observing every little change in him.

Ye Ying just felt in the dark that he seemed to have faced everything that this child is facing now.

He thought about it carefully, and then he was a little startled.Because Ye Ying had already remembered that when he had this kind of state of mind, he was already in his twilight years, and after that, his choice was... to break the cycle of reincarnation and protect and hide the sword.

But now, the child Gucheng is so young, he shouldn't have this kind of state of mind - no matter what his previous life was, Ye Gucheng's life has just begun, and his 20s should be a good time.What's more, in Ye Ying's view, Ye Gucheng, who was in his 30s in his previous life, was also very embarrassingly young.

Ye Ying even had an ominous premonition.He set foot on this world again, does that mean that there is someone who should take over his original responsibility, cut off reincarnation, and then become the last ray of life of Cangjian Ye family?

And that person, no matter how you look at it, is most likely Ye Gucheng.

Ye Ying doesn't regret her choice, but she doesn't want her younger generation to make the same choice as herself.

Ye Ying always felt that for their Ye family, "retreat" seemed to be the beginning of all kinds of personal misfortunes.Ye Ying himself had lost his eyes after retreating, and then he was able to practice the Heart Sword. He also chose not to enter reincarnation after retreating, and he will bless the Hidden Sword forever.But now, is it their turn for the younger generation of the Ye family?

As a qualified elder, Ye Ying will not interfere with Ye Gucheng's choice, but he will try his best to avoid such a personal tragedy from happening.He knew how similar Ye Gucheng was to him, and he was never afraid of dying for Baiyun City, which meant that he was never afraid of sacrificing for the Ye family.

For the Ye family, this kind of sacrifice is an instinct, but it is also a bit cruel to the point of being a curse—they always think about "should it be" and never "whether it's worth it".

Hearing Ye Gucheng ask herself this question, Ye Ying just wanted to sigh.He thought, probably the kid in Gucheng really knew what his choice was like what he was worried about, and he really planned to do so.

Ye Ying was silent for a while, under the gaze of Ye Gucheng's amber eyes, he said lightly: "The world is not benevolent."

Ye Gucheng was also silent for a long time.In this silence, Ye Ying suddenly said: "Leaving aside the future, it's just that the Ye family is in such a situation now, who can you entrust everything to? Guhong, Chuuxue, or... Smile?"

There was a flash of panic in Ye Gucheng's eyes, Ye Ying patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "Live in the moment, after all, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and there is always a way."

Ye Ying can't influence Ye Gucheng's decision, nor will she.He just tried to postpone that day infinitely as much as possible, there are various variables in the future, and there is room for maneuver in the matter Ye Gucheng decides.Thinking of this, Ye Ying's heart is not so heavy.

After thinking about it, Ye Gucheng can now touch the realm that he can only touch in his twilight years. Although it is the accumulation of two lives spanning life and death, it can really be praised for his talent. Their Ye family can have such outstanding aptitude Ye Ying, as the owner of the big villa, is naturally very happy.

His eyes fell on Ye Gucheng's sword, and a smile flashed across his eyes: "Do you want to try the sword?"

To be able to compete with such an inexperienced master like the Dazhuang Zhuang is naturally something that Ye Gucheng can't wait for.Infinite brilliance suddenly burst out from his eyes, and he solemnly clasped his fists at Ye Ying, Ye Gucheng said: "But please fight."

Where the sea and sky meet, the two shadows are like misty clouds, and where the sword shadows overlap, it is a hearty battle.

It's just that Ye Gucheng didn't know at this time that he and Axue had already been "decisively fought".When Ye Gucheng reorganized the official documents piled up because Xiao Yanhuan went out to the banquet, the top page read...August [-]th, the top of the Forbidden City.

Ye Gucheng's brows twitched, and his eyes turned to Ximen Chuuxue who was reading the ledger on another desk.Silently handing this page of paper to Ximen Chuuxue, Ye Gucheng also saw a somewhat innocent daze on Ximen Chuuxue's face.He pinched the center of his brows, finally called out the hidden guard, and asked, "What's going on? Who sent the news back?"

The dark guard glanced at the dark note on the paper, and realized that it was not used by the people in Baiyun City to deliver the news.Confessing to Ye Gucheng, the dark guard took the paper and asked about the origin of the paper.

Not long after, the hidden guard came over and said: "City Lord, this is sent by the Ninth Young Master from the Central Plains. He said you will understand."

Ye Gucheng already understood.

Just now when the hidden guards went out to investigate, Ye Gucheng re-read the news on the table.The scene at Xiao Li Feidao's wedding banquet was reported truthfully. Although Ye Gucheng was not scheming, he was full of foresight. Gong Jiu acted so ostentatiously, and Ye Gucheng knew after a little thought that he was implying their plan Everything can start.

But what made Ye Gucheng angry was that Gong Jiu actually involved his family and smiled.This arena has always been strict with women, and spreading a woman's reputation as "extremely beautiful" is actually not a very good thing.Gong Jiu naturally understands this point, but he has always regarded the world as dung, and he doesn't care about what other people say, and he also knows that Xiaoxiao doesn't care either.

Ye Gucheng wouldn't care about criticism and slander against him, but he didn't want his little girl to be judged at all.On this point, his mood is somewhat different from Gong Jiu's.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, Ye Gucheng left the customs too late, no amount of entanglement will do any good.

The plan was discussed by Ye Gucheng and Gong Jiu early in the morning. Although it is several years ahead of schedule, the timing is just right.Now Da'an is the time when the feudal lord returns to the court. According to the Da'an ancestral system, the vassal kings from other places have to return to Beijing every year, worship their ancestors in Beijing, and return to their fiefs to celebrate the New Year with the "New Year's meat" rewarded by the emperor.

Of course, when the vassal princes returned to Beijing, it also meant "reporting on their duties", and it also prevented them from causing trouble in the fief.What's more, when the vassal king returns to Beijing, he will also offer a certain size of "earth ritual", which is simply gold and silver treasures, which are used to enrich the treasury of Da'an.Nowadays, Da'an's control over the Jianghu people is weak. Whenever this time comes, there will always be some so-called "heroes" who want to rob the rich and help the poor, and plunder those gold and silver treasures.

As for whether they really helped the poor people or helped their own poor, it is impossible to verify.

However, the plundered vassal kings and emperors cried out that it was useless, so they could only return to the fief and squeeze the people even harder. If things go on like this, a vicious circle will ensue.

But for Gong Jiu and Ye Gucheng, these are not the key points.The most important thing is that at this time of year, on August [-]th, these vassal clans and all the children of the royal family will gather together.That is to say, if they made an attack at that time, none of the Daan royal family would be spared.

With the destruction of the royal family, Da'an naturally has no possibility of existence.This is the change of imperial power without bloodshed. If someone in the local area will take advantage of this uprising, and whether the people in the vassal king's fief will take the opportunity to mess up, Gong Jiu has also prepared a complete countermeasure.

Gong Jiu is not naive, combined with his own previous life, and also learned the art of imperial servants from Wang Lianhua, although Gong Jiu acts recklessly, he is no longer just thinking like a Jianghu person.His scheming was deeper and he never had any illusions. Gong Jiu knew that if they wanted to destroy Da'an and not be destroyed by other forces, the most important thing was to have military power.

Da'an's military power was divided into two, and [-]% of the military power was controlled by King Taiping, who was used to guard Shengjing - it can be seen that the royal family of Da'an really cherished their lives.Defending Kyoto with [-]% of the country's military force is not the original creation of the current emperor, but the tradition of Da'an, from the founding emperor to the present.

The other half of the troops were scattered at the border of Da'an.People in these places have been guarding the territory for a long time, and their minds are different. Some are willing to surrender, and some, although it may be difficult to fight all the way back, it is still possible to cause some troubles.

It is impossible to hand over the important frontiers of this country to these people, so Gong Jiu raised his own private army early on.

In Shengjing, any prince or clan raising such an army is no different from open rebellion, but the emperor is far away in the South China Sea, Gong Jiu has been here for more than ten years, it is impossible to be confined to Wang Lianhua's seclusion The size of that small island.Surrounded by islands in the South China Sea, Gong Jiulu successively established several bases on these small islands to train his own private soldiers.

This is why he is so good at making money, but he is still very poor.After more than ten years of development, after more than ten years of development, Gong Jiu has almost 10 private soldiers.Such a huge army scattered in the archipelago usually does not feel anything, but when they are ready to attack Da'an, any force can be easily crushed by them.

After all, Gong Jiu spent a lot of effort in cultivating them. Compared with Da'an's soldiers who can at most know a little bit of boxing and kicking, this army where everyone is a second-rate master in the Jianghu, and there are even a few first-rate masters. It can be said to be terrible.

Although it is a bit impatient to start now, it is not too hasty.Ye Gucheng got the hint from Gong Jiu, and didn't show too much surprise or excitement.He calmly flipped through the news on the table, but suddenly a layer of frost appeared on his face.

That flimsy page was almost shattered into powder under Ye Gucheng's fingers.

"What?" There was a bit of contempt in the male voice, which made Ximen Chuuxue curious.Leaning over and taking a look at the paper, Ximen Chuuxue's complexion also became unsightly.

First he coveted his sister (mother), and then he spoke lightly to his daughter (sister). What kind of thing is this Prince Da'an?

This time, both Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue were a little angry.
