Ye Gucheng is the sworn enemy of Ximen Chuuxue, everyone knows this well.

But only Lu Xiaofeng knew that this mortal enemy was more respectable to Ximen Chuuxue than a friend.

So if Ye Gucheng was weak and unable to support himself, it wouldn't be too surprising that Ximen Chuuxue, who was standing beside him, offered his shoulder in time.In fact, not only would Lu Xiaofeng not be surprised, but he would feel that it should be so.

If it were anyone else, Lu Xiaofeng wouldn't think so, but if it was Ye Gucheng, he just felt that it should be taken for granted.

Seeing Ye Gucheng leaning on Ximen Chuixue's shoulder with his eyes closed, he felt that the scene was extremely harmonious.

If these two people continue like this without dueling and fighting, then I don't know how good it would be.

Although he thought so, his heart was not clear.

After seeing the peerless flying knife just now, can he still think that the person in front of him is Ye Gucheng?

Ye Gucheng is good at using swords instead of throwing knives.

Everyone present knew this, and when he appeared without a sword, everyone would regard him as a tiger whose claws had been pulled out.

And such a fierce tiger is destined to be locked in a cage.

It's a pity that no one thought that this fierce tiger had a pair of sharper fangs instead of claws.

Such an ordinary knife, in his hand, seemed to be endowed with a layer of strange magic power, and no one could take away its light. As soon as he took out this knife, Tu Fang's face turned pale with fright, and Wei Ziyun also He didn't dare to act rashly, and Lu Xiaofeng himself wasn't sure if he could take the knife.

In fact, as soon as the throwing knife came out, many people had doubts about Ye Gucheng's identity, and he was naturally one of them.

A fake Ye Gucheng appeared on the imperial city just now, even if there is another fake one, it is not uncommon.

But up to now, Wang An and the eldest son, who are the chief culprits, have already bowed their heads and died. Is there any need to pretend to be Ye Gucheng?

Didn't he also think that Ye Gucheng is an outsider, who doesn't mess with the world, and doesn't get involved in worldly affairs?Even a person like him can become an accomplice to help the crown prince usurp power and the throne, so why not if it is said that he has hidden a unique skill?

But the most important thing is the change in character.

No one could explain this, and certainly he couldn't.

Mi Xiang's statement was purely a tentative move, but also to delay time. Of course, he didn't really think that the emperor could sneak attack Ye Gucheng.

And as soon as he thought of the emperor, the emperor's special envoy arrived. He arrived neither too early nor too late, and just caught up with the best scene.The eunuch squinted at these people, looked at the two men in white clothes in the field, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then shouted in a shrill voice:

"By God's blessing, the Son of Heaven issued an edict saying that Ye Gucheng has made meritorious escort, and his crimes are pardoned, and he and Lu Xiaofeng are called to the South Study Room to face the saint. The rest of them, leave the palace immediately."

meritorious service?pardon?face saint?

These few words came down one after another, like a thunderstorm that exploded in everyone's minds, some people's eyes widened, and they stood there stupefied.Others opened their mouths so wide that they seemed to be able to stuff several rotten eggs inside.

If a painter painted the expressions on their faces on the spot, it might be passed down as a famous painting in the world.

Lu Xiaofeng naturally knew this, but he didn't expect that the emperor wanted to keep Ye Gucheng, nor did he expect that the emperor would summon him specially.

Ximen Chuuxue didn't seem to hear the news, he seemed to be undisturbed by any external things.

Naturally, none of the people around dared to disturb them, so they just quietly looked at the two white-clothed swordsmen in the field.After a series of shocks, they seemed to be blinded all of a sudden, lost their tongues, and looked like a group of sculptures with different expressions.

Ximen Chuuxue also didn't speak, but stood straight on the spot, and at the same time looked forward solemnly, as if he saw the bright moon like a jade plate in the sky, and also seemed to see the palaces.

Fortunately, Ye Gucheng didn't rely on him for too long.

Although he put his weight on Ximen Chuuxue, he didn't completely lose consciousness, and moved his eyelids, as if trying to open them.

After all, he opened his eyes, but when he stepped back slightly and looked at the other party again, the word surprise was written all over his face.Lu Xiaofeng could see that he was trying his best to restrain the muscles on his face, and his body was stretched like a bowstring.

He seemed to remember what happened just now, but he was still a little surprised to see him like that.

After being surprised, Ye Gucheng glanced around lightly, then quickly turned his gaze back to Ximen Chuuxue, and never looked away.Look at the way he stared at Ximen Chuuxue intently, as if the only person in his eyes was the sword.

And those big insiders who were watching all around seemed to be out of his sight.

And when Ximen Chuuxue's gaze met his, it was as if two peerless swords collided.

"Ximen Chuixue?"

Ximen Chuuxue raised his eyes and said, "Ye Gucheng?"

There seemed to be a lot of things to say between them, Ximen Chuuxue must have a lot of questions to ask Ye Gucheng, such as what is the essence of the sword?Another example is why Ye Gucheng is not sincere to others?

But what he really said at this moment was just such a simple question and answer.

Even so, Lu Xiaofeng began to feel that the familiar Ye Gucheng had returned, and his return seemed to turn everything that happened just now into a farce, an illusion.

But everyone knows that it is not a farce, nor is it an illusion.

What is associated with plasma and conspiracy will never be a farce, and what is standing in front of you alive is definitely not an illusion.

Lu Xiaofeng stepped forward and said, "Did you hear what the eunuch said just now?"

In fact, what he wants to ask more is - are you fully awake at this moment?

But when he saw the other party's appearance, he couldn't ask any questions.

Ye Gucheng nodded and said, "I heard it."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly: "Then can you tell me what happened just now?"

Ye Gucheng looked up at Lu Xiaofeng, and then said a very strange thing.

"I'm afraid you'll never believe what I've been through."

His words appeared very abruptly, and Ye Gucheng didn't give any explanation after finishing speaking, he just said to Ximen Chuuxue: "The big event has not been accomplished, but this battle is imperative."

Ximen Chuuxue said indifferently: "This battle is imperative, but your mind is already in chaos."

Weakness is the second priority. If the mind is disturbed, even if there is no injury or disease, he will not be able to exert his full strength, so he is absolutely unwilling to take advantage of others' danger.

Ye Gucheng didn't speak, because he knew what the other party said was the truth.After experiencing something, no one can calmly pretend that nothing happened.

But none of the people present would believe what he was about to say, even if his words were mentioned a little bit, it would be incredible enough.

That being the case, he didn't even bother to explain something to the people around him.

Some words only need to be heard by confidantes, even if irrelevant people listen to them, it is a waste of the speaker's lips.

Ximen Chuuxue said again: "Do what you should do, I can wait."

After saying this, he turned his back and stopped looking at Ye Gucheng and Lu Xiaofeng.

Ye Gucheng and Lu Xiaofeng walked towards the eunuch delivering the decree, and followed him to the South Study Room.

He seemed to be able to guess what the emperor wanted to ask himself, and he could also think of what Lu Xiaofeng wanted to ask.

He remembered everything that happened that night, and he was also aware of the drastic changes that took place in the bedroom.

He can't prevent the reversal of all this, let alone explain to everyone why all this happened.

The experience of these few months is more thrilling than the sum of his past few decades, even the legends in the market are no more bizarre than his experience.

The only thing Ye Gucheng is clear about is that the overall situation has been settled, and no one can change the situation.Even if he killed the emperor with one sword, it would be impossible for him to help the son of the Southern Prince to the Dragon Throne.

No one can change the previous situation, but he can grasp the future situation.

After all, there was another person waiting for him behind him, and he couldn't die before fighting this person.

No one knew what he and Lu Xiaofeng had said to the emperor after they entered the South Study Room, but they knew that Lu Xiaofeng left the South Study Room before Ye Gucheng, and then everyone knew the news that the Emperor granted Ye Gucheng to stay in the side hall of the dormitory for one night.

No one knew why the emperor did this, and everyone just said it was unpredictable.

Some people speculated that they had a secret conversation all night in the bedroom, others speculated that Ye Gucheng had been secretly captured and killed by the emperor, and some people even came up with more dirty and absurd conjectures.

However, some people guessed that on the second day, it would be Ye Gucheng's turn to duel with Ximen Chuuxue.

But no one expected that Ye Gucheng who woke up the next day became a little weird again.

Ye Kai never thought that when he woke up again, what he saw was not the dark tomb, not the big face of Zhao Gongyun approaching, but the carved dragon bed frame and the bright yellow bed curtain.

Who can tell him what happened, how did he end up on this dragon bed?

Then he looked sideways and found that there were people waiting outside the room, and they didn't deliberately hide their aura.

Listening to their breathing, one of them should be Lu Xiaofeng, the other should be Ximen Chuuxue, and the other seems to have no martial arts, so he couldn't tell who it was.

This trouble seems to be bigger than imagined.

Ye Kai couldn't help laughing, and when he laughed, it seemed that there was no problem in the world that he couldn't solve.

He immediately kicked off the quilt, patted his clothes, then walked out the door leisurely, and greeted Lu Xiaofeng who was standing beside him.And when he was about to show a bright smile at the other party, he saw Ximen Chuuxue staring at him, and his expression looked really weird.

For some reason, Ye Kai immediately suppressed that smile, and said honestly, "I seem to have slept for a long time."

But Lu Xiaofeng said: "You can definitely sleep for a while longer."

Ye Kai asked in surprise, "Sleep for a while?"

After Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuuxue looked at each other, they said: "After you finished speaking with the emperor, you went to the side hall to sleep, but as soon as you got on the bed, you fell into a deep sleep, as if you had passed out. You got your pulse."

Ye Kai suddenly felt that he seemed to have missed a lot of good things, and he also began to wonder what happened last night.

Lu Xiaofeng pointed to a person dressed as a servant standing beside him, and said: "After the incident last night, the emperor sealed off the residence of Prince Nan's son and imprisoned all relevant people, but only this person was called into the palace. Then do you remember who this person is?"

Ye Kai really wanted to say that he remembered, but he still shook his head honestly.

This person looks ordinary, but his eyes are very lively. If he has seen him, he will definitely be impressed.This person should be someone close to Ye Gucheng, not someone he knew.

Lu Xiaofeng went on to say: "This man is Hao Qi, he is the one who takes care of Ye Gucheng's daily life."

Ye Kai's guess was not wrong, so he smiled slightly and said, "So?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Both the emperor and I were very curious about what happened to Ye Gucheng, so we specially called people around him to ask the reason, unexpectedly, we found something out of it."

Under his gaze, Hao Qi lowered his head and said, "Actually, the city owner had some abnormalities on his body a few months ago."

Ye Kai asked in surprise, "What abnormality?"

Hao Qi glanced at him quickly, then lowered his head even more, as if wishing he could never look up.

"He has a strange disease. When he gets sick, he will say some strange words and see some strange hallucinations."

Ye Kai's smile immediately turned cold, and he murmured, "Illusion?"

This sounded so familiar that it made him uneasy.

Hao Qi added: "He seems to be able to see people and things that others can't see."

The more Ye Kai listened, the weirder he became, but he could only continue listening.

Hao Qi continued: "The city lord couldn't find out why he had this strange disease, and at that time, Nan Wang's big plan had already been laid out, and it was too late to turn around. He did not disclose it to anyone for the sake of the overall situation. For this matter, the original plan is still carried out, and only I who is by his side know this secret."

Ye Kai's gaze seemed to be firmly fixed on him.

"What strange things did he say? What did he see?"

Hao Qi said: "It's impossible for me to know what he saw, but when he got sick, he said a terrible thing to me."

He paused, his complexion almost pale as paper, his lips trembling slightly, as if he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Ye Kai laughed and said, "What can he say?"

He can do treasonous things, what else can be called terrible?

Hao Qi suddenly raised his head and looked directly at him, and then said something that Ye Kai couldn't think of.

"He said his name was Ye Kai, not Ye Gucheng."
