The gentleman hides the front [Comprehensive]

Chapter 49.The phoenix tree is half dead after Qingqiu.

Ye Qiege doesn't know the art of Qi and Huang, but martial arts practitioners are somewhat sensitive to breath. After carefully observing Master Hua's expression, she really found that he was already terminally ill.

Ye Qiege was a little startled, but when she saw Master Hua, Mrs. Hua was calm despite her sad face, Ye Ying gently squeezed Ye Qiege's hand again calmly, she lowered her eyes, no longer Talk too much.

Not long after, Lu Xiaofeng walked in angrily, and when he saw everyone present, he was stunned for a while.After hearing that Master Hua hoped that he would pretend to be a "thief with iron shoes" and untie Huamanlou's knots, Lu Xiaofeng not only calmed down, but also agreed without hesitation—how could he refuse such a request from an elder? ?Not to mention Huamanlou is his best friend.

So, everyone prepared separately, and finally dispersed.

It's just that when Ye Qige passed by Song Wencao, who had treated Master Hua for a long time and was known as a miracle doctor, her nose moved slightly, and a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes.

Master Hua's birthday banquet is getting closer.Many guests came to Peach Blossom Castle, and it was very lively all of a sudden.However, because of the incident of the iron shoe robber, Huamanlou lost his former peace, and his whole body was haunted by an inexplicable anxiety.

Ye Ying also persuaded him a few words to let him calm down.Hua Manlou could only smile bitterly silently—the nightmare of many years is about to come back, no matter how clear and firm his mind is, how can he calm down?

Seeing this, Ye Ying finally stopped persuading her.It's just that he wrote a letter with a pen and asked Hua Pochuan, the second youngest of the Hua family, to send it out.Hua Pochuan was somewhat inexplicable, but because it was entrusted by Master Ye, he was sent out immediately without a moment's delay.

It's just that no one knew that in an unremarkable courtyard not far from Shengjing, there was a man with a horizontal sword on his knee.His black hair was neatly tied up by a wooden crown, his fingers were white and slender, and he was holding a brocade handkerchief like snow, lowering his head and wiping the long sword in his hand.

The black scabbard was placed beside him. He didn't speak, but the aura around him was like a mountain, making people surrender for no reason.

The man in the green shirt in front of him had warm eyebrows, and if it wasn't for the slight trembling of his hands hanging by his side, he would have been really good-looking and good-natured.

Huo Tianqing met Ye Qiege, and later married and even met Ye Guhong by chance.He knew that the descendants of the Ye family were dragons and phoenixes among the people, and he had imagined how imposing the Lord of Baiyun would be.

But today, Huo Tianqing realized his mistake.At the beginning, he only thought of Ye Gucheng as a lonesome and arrogant swordsman. Today, when he saw Ye Gucheng, he suddenly realized that he could stabilize the entire Baiyun City at the age of seven, was powerful in the South China Sea at the age of 15, and became famous in the Central Plains at the age of 17. Could it be that "peerless swordsman" can be summed up in one sentence?

Under the majesty of the superiors exuding from Ye Gucheng's body, Huo Tianqing tried hard to keep his hands from shaking.It's just that, before Ye Gucheng opened his mouth, he still didn't dare to speak easily.

After a while, Ye Gucheng returned the sword into its sheath.He raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Tianqing, paused for a moment, then quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Tsing Yi Building, why am I here?"

A cold male voice sounded in the empty room, mixed with a bit of coolness and carelessness.It seemed that the Tsing Yi Building, known as "the first building in the world", could not be seen by the person who spoke.

Huo Tianqing was slightly taken aback, and before he knew it, he lost the arrogance he had when he entered the door.He frowned for a moment, before hesitatingly said: "The Tsing Yi Building is known as the [-]th floor, but in fact it is far more than that. Its subordinates are all over Anqing, and Tianqing has gathered them recently. In time, it will definitely become the eyes and ears of the city lord in Anqing... "

"Baiyun City's intelligence network in Anqing is not weak." Ye Gucheng interrupted Huo Tianqing, and said coldly: "For example, you have 380 disciples in Tianqin Sect, and 35 direct disciples. In such things, Baiyun City's intelligence network is I can find out."

Huo Tianqing seemed to be choked by someone in an instant, and it took a long time before he found his voice in a trance: "In this case, Tianqing is willing to be a soldier in front of the city lord."

Before today, Huo Tianqing admitted that he did have some small thoughts.But Ye Qiege alone is enough to make him afraid, and now that he sees the Lord Baiyun, Huo Tianqing feels a chill from the bottom of his heart—he is not a loyal person, but when he realizes that he cannot bear the consequences of betrayal At that time, those small thoughts will be completely extinguished.

Huo Tianqing asked himself, would he really be able to withstand the blow of City Lord Baiyun even if he added Tsing Yi Building and Tian Qin Gate?

the answer is negative.Therefore, Huo Tianqing had already made his choice during the brief meeting with the Lord Baiyun.There was no turning back when he opened his bow, since he had already decided to join Baiyun City, then Baiyun City was his only choice from now on.

Ye Gucheng was originally clear-minded, and he came back to the new life. Seeing Huo Tianqing's changes, he calmly said, "Can you find usable people?"

Although Ye Gucheng was an interrogative sentence, Huo Tianqing had already heard that it was irrefutable.His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, so his throat couldn't help but feel a little dry and tight.

Without asking what kind of person the "available person" is, Huo Tianqing closed his eyes to hide the turmoil in his eyes.After a while, he spoke with difficulty: "I just don't know what the deadline the city lord gave Tianqing? How many people like that are needed?"

Ye Gucheng glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "It's only three years. If there are at least a hundred people, the more the better."

Huo Tianqing gasped.The cool air poured into his lungs, stripping him of a trace of clarity.Unwilling to lose his composure in front of Ye Gucheng again, Huo Tianqing quickly adjusted his emotions, straightened his expression, and said to Ye Gucheng: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the city lord."

Ye Gucheng nodded, picked up the black scabbard sword by his side, and wiped it again.

The intention of chasing guests is so obvious, how could Huo Tianqing stay so blankly, bowing to Ye Gucheng, Huo Tianqing's figure flashed, and disappeared into this small courtyard just like when he came.

Ye Gucheng raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, the coldness of his fingertips made him look slightly refreshed.No one would have thought that the Lord Baiyun would appear here at this time, let alone that he looked frosty and calm, but in fact he had been ill for three days on and off.

Ye Gucheng has a lot to do, and after being reborn for several years, he dare not relax for a moment - he naturally understands what he has to do, and also knows that this is the only and best choice.This route hangs life and death, Ye Gucheng is certainly not afraid of perishing, but what about Baiyun City?Where is his younger sister?so what?

Ye Gucheng doesn't doubt his younger sister's ability, he is confident that his family can travel across the rivers and lakes with his songs.But how could Ye Gucheng dare to take it lightly?He didn't forget that in his previous life, he also reached the pinnacle, but in the end, he still broke his sword in a conspiracy.

Ye Gucheng wrote to Ye Qige just to put her on guard.But he didn't expect this child to be so thoughtful that he would win over Huo Tianqing for him.However, if it is possible, why does Ye Gucheng want his sister to be contaminated with these things?

imperial power.

At this point, Ye Gucheng realized how ridiculous and naive his thoughts in his previous life were.Regarding imperial power, this was never the Ye family's obsession, but a sharp knife hanging over Baiyun City.

In the next life, Ye Gucheng began to see things that he couldn't see clearly in the past.For example, the joint attack on the Eighteen Water Villages in Baiyun City, the business of Baiyun City that has been suppressed one after another, and the fresh water channel that almost fell into the hands of people, all of them are aimed at him in Baiyun City.And now behind these people, besides the Anqing royal family, who else is there?

——Their Ye family was usurped by Anqing, so there is no such thing as "a corner of peace" after that, they have long been dead and endless!

After all, Tsing Yi Building is not a small force, and Ye Gucheng's face is calm, but he finally went to the Central Plains for it.

It's just that he didn't set foot on the road from the South China Sea to the Central Plains for many years. When he re-entered the Central Plains in the next life, he suddenly contracted a cold and burned for three consecutive days. He just got better today.

Ye Gucheng was sick, but he didn't rest for a moment.When Huo Tianqing walked away, Ye Gucheng slightly raised his hand, signaling to the attendant who was waiting quietly.

The attendant led away, and after a while, a man in a brocade robe came in with the attendant.

The brocade robe on his body is gorgeous, and the fan in his hand is also very gorgeous.From a distance, he is also a romantic man, but the deliberate smile on his face destroys his demeanor.It's just that his eyes are very bright, shining with an inexplicable aura.

"I've seen the city lord." Jin Jiuling cupped his hands to Ye Gucheng, fawning on his face unabashedly—he didn't have to hide it, just like when he unabashedly told Ye Gucheng that what he wanted was wealth and glory for the rest of his life.

Ye Gucheng nodded to him, without any nonsense, and said directly: "Qige went to the Hua family's birthday banquet, you go too, don't let those blind people hurt her."

Jin Jiuling has also been to Baiyun City several times in recent years, and was fortunate enough to see Ye Qiege practicing swords, and once, her epee was so good as to pass over Jin Jiuling's head, which made Jin Jiuling not suspicious, this young master of the Ye family Have you seen through your little tricks back then, and you deliberately "revenge"?

He didn't think Young Master Ye needed to protect himself, but since the city lord ordered it, Jin Jiuling was naturally happy to show his worth.

Responding carefully, Jin Jiuling repeatedly promised that no one would hurt half of the young master's hair, and then retreated, found the invitation card from the Hua family, and embarked on the journey to Peach Blossom Fort.

On the surface, Jin Jiuling was a member of the official family. Merchants like the Hua family were mixed with people from all walks of life. Although they had good manners, they would not deliberately make friends with members of the court.For a court official like Jin Jiuling, for example, the birthday banquet of Hua's family had a tacit understanding between the two parties, and normally Jin Jiuling should not attend.

It just so happened that this time he received a dark report from the imperial court that people from other countries had sneaked into Anqing. As the chief arrester of the Six Gates, it was reasonable for Jin Jiuling to go and investigate.

As for his real purpose, if Jin Jiuling didn't say it himself, who would care about it?

It's just that Jin Jiuling had a thousand calculations, but he didn't expect it, because the day he stayed in the outskirts of Shengjing, when he arrived at Hua's house, the development of things seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

Jin Jiuling arrived on the second day of the Hua family's banquet. The reason why he chose this day was that it was the least conspicuous and also the most appropriate—his arresters had already informed him that those visitors from the Hanhai Kingdom would be there. The last day of Master Hua's birthday party was in trouble.

And Jin Jiuling's plan is to take good care of Ye Qiege on that day, and prevent him from entering the dark room with those people.As for how Lu Xiaofeng and the others performed a play for Huamanlou, during which several Jianghu people would die, and how the master of the Hua family was poisoned by Song Wencao, Jin Jiuling sneered—what does that have to do with him?

However, what made an old fritter like Jin Jiuling a little confused was that when he arrived at Peach Blossom Fort in Jiangnan Huajia after calculating the time from Shengjing, the iron shoe thief had already been tied up and thrown on the ground.

When Lu Xiaofeng saw him, he excitedly handed him over to him, and said: "Brother Jin, you came just in time, Brother Hua disdain to take the life of this iron shoe, and Ge also said that we are not the ones who suffer, so don't let us lynch him, Then this villainous iron shoe thief will be handed over to you, the chief catcher of the six gates!"

Jin Jiuling glanced at the "miracle doctor" whose legs were broken by the epee, shivered silently, took two steps away from Ye Qiege calmly, and then went to listen to Lu Xiaofeng's eloquent talk about these two things. what happened.
