Qin Xiu [comprehensive martial arts + sword three]

Although Dongfang Bubai said that he didn't want to see Yu Luocha again, but he didn't intend to give up teaching Yu Luocha a lesson, and even wanted to drive this leader outside the customs, who had obviously started to think about the inside of the customs, out of his territory.

So as soon as Dongfang Bubai came back, he arranged for his men to investigate Yu Luocha's whereabouts, starting from the pastry shop where they met Yu Luocha.

But Jade Rakshasa is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He can create a Rakshasa Sect that is not inferior to the Sun Moon God Sect from scratch, so how could he be found out so easily by Dongfang Bubai.

That Hefangzhai is a hundred-year-old store. The people in the store, from the shopkeeper to the waiters, are all innocent people. They are all ordinary people. There is nothing wrong with them. Now that the situation is tense, when there are patrolling soldiers everywhere, people will be taken back for interrogation indiscriminately, so they can only return without success.

Dongfang Bubai was not annoyed when he received the news from his subordinates. Although he sent someone to investigate Nahefangzhai, he never thought that he would be able to find out the power of the Rakshasa Sect in the capital so easily. Dongfang Bubai was a little surprised that it did not directly close the door or sell it to others, but planned to resume business after repairing it.

After he was discovered by himself, Yu Luocha would dispose of this stronghold, but now it seems that this place may not really be an important place.

But even though he thought so, Dongfang Bubai still asked his subordinates to continue to pay attention to the pastry shop.

And that Yu Luocha didn't know if he really listened to his warning, since that time, he disappeared without a trace, making Dongfang Bubai wonder when this person became so talkative.

There must be some conspiracy!

At first, Dongfang Bubai thought so, but after more than ten days, nothing happened, and the subordinates sent out have not found any traces of the Rakshasa, so Dongfang Bubai can only be confused. Put it aside.

However, those of his subordinates were not all fruitless. Although they did not find Yu Luocha's whereabouts, they unexpectedly brought back some other news.

It's the news related to the sword match between Ah Fei and Ye Gucheng.

——People from the Sun Moon God Sect discovered King Nanping's whereabouts in the capital.

King Nanping is one of the few remaining younger brothers of the former emperor. When the first emperor came to the throne, King Nanping and another younger brother of the former emperor, the current King Taiping, were only born less than a hundred days old. With the ability to compete for the throne, he has been obediently being a reclusive and low-key prince in his fief all these years.

But this prince is actually ambitious, and has been quietly forming a party for personal gain in private in order to pursue a great cause.

But maybe the first emperor also saw this, so compared to the other Taiping king who can gain the trust of the first emperor to take charge of military power, this low-key Nanping king has not touched any real power so far.

King Nanping was naturally dissatisfied, but he was indifferent to fame and fortune on the surface, so he could only keep his dissatisfaction in his heart, and then he wanted that position even more.

So when the first emperor died, the king of Nanping felt that the opportunity had come, and began to act flat in private.

But these, no one knows yet.

When Dongfang Bubai shared the news he had received, Li Xunhuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong at first: "A prince with a fief can't go to Beijing without a summons, but this time King Nan went to Beijing with the emperor's permission to come back. To pay homage to his biological mother Concubine Xu, this Concubine Xu passed away exactly ten years ago, that's why the King of Nan requested an order to come to Beijing, and the whole government and the public know about it."

Although the title of this prince is King Nanping, because there are not many princes in Daqi, and there is only this one in the southern part of the fiefdom, everyone is used to calling him Nanping King.

Dongfang Bubai played with the jade bonsai in his hand with a smile that was not a smile, and his smile was meaningful: "It is true that Nanwang is in the capital without any problems. The problem is that he brought his own son with him."

Li Xun Huan's face changed when he heard the words, and he didn't know if it was the inheritance of the royal family. The former emperor and his brothers were extremely difficult in terms of offspring. The former emperor worked hard for more than 20 years to leave only the little emperor as a prince, and the other extremely princes were also the same. In this way, especially King Nanping, although he got married early, Princess Nanping also gave birth to him shortly after marriage, and gave birth to a son for him, who is now Prince Nanping's son.

But apart from this eldest son, King Nanping had no other children, not even a daughter.

Therefore, the son brought by King Nanping can only be this son.

"Are you sure it's really him? As far as I know, King Nan left him in the fief because of his poor health and did not bring him to the capital."

——This eldest son is only a few months older than the little emperor. At the beginning, many people thought that the former emperor would adopt one of his younger brother's children without a prince, and this eldest son might be the eldest.

It's a pity that not long after the Southern Prince's son was born, the queen was diagnosed to be nearly three months pregnant, so the matter of adoption naturally came to an end.

Afterwards, there was news that Xiao Shizi was in poor health from the Nanping Palace. Everyone gradually forgot about this royal son who once attracted everyone's attention. The only impression of him was that he was in poor health. A sick child who may die at any time.

But now, the son of Prince Nan, who was supposed to stay in the fief, appeared in the capital, and he came to the capital secretly. What exactly is King Nan planning?

"Hmph, people in this seat can't get this news wrong."

Dongfang Bubai is quite dissatisfied with Li Xunhuan's questioning. The only people who are listening to Dongfang Bubai's news are Li Xunhuan and Long Wan. Dongfang Bubai and Li Xunhuan are not familiar with each other. Those who care about this matter, let alone remind Li Xun Huan, now that he doesn't appreciate it, naturally they can't be happy, and even exported "my seat" that they haven't used for a long time.

Hearing his displeasure, Li Xun Huan quickly apologized: "I'm not questioning the ability of the leader, it's just that the news is really shocking, so I can't accept it for a while."

Only then did Dongfang Bubai restrain his temper, and he accepted Li Xun Huan's apology with a nod.

But Long Wan listened all the way, and only then asked Dongfang Bubai: "Since you are going to specifically say that the son of the Southern Prince is in the capital, have you found anything special?"

"You are still so sharp." Dongfang Bubai smiled approvingly, "I have indeed discovered something very interesting."

Long Wan is not keen, she just knew that King Nanping had a problem.

Long Wan urged: "Then don't keep it up, just say it."

Dongfang Bubai glared at her, there was only one person in the world who dared to urge him like that.

However, he still obediently said: "As far as I know, when people talk about this prince of the Southern Prince, they always say that he is weak and sick, and may not even live to adulthood, but the news I received said that this prince not only He is in good health, so good that it is possible to live to his seventies and eighties, and he is still practicing martial arts, and he has worshiped a master of swordsmanship as his teacher."

Having said this, Dongfang Bubai paused for a moment, and said to Long Wan: "You must be able to guess who this sword master is, right?"

Long Wan nodded: "I heard that City Lord Baiyun accepted a named disciple a few days ago. That disciple doesn't seem to be from the Jianghu, and he was born rich, so he is the son of Prince Nan?"

"Smart." Dongfang Bubai clapped his hands approvingly: "Indeed."

Long Wan said again: "So the 'Top of the Forbidden' message that caused a lot of noise before, I'm afraid it was also released by Nanwang."

Li Xun Huan said solemnly: "I wondered how this matter could spread so quickly. At first, I wondered if it was deliberately spread by Baiyun City, but Lord Ye didn't have any special reaction to our follow-up arrangements. Give up this suspicion, now it seems that, just as you guessed, it is indeed very likely that it is the son of the Southern Prince."

"Since Prince Nan is City Lord Ye's apprentice, even if it's only by name, it's not difficult for him to get the news from City Lord Ye. After all, it's not a secret."

"Then he probably told Nan Wang after he knew about it, and Nan Wang deliberately changed the 'Purple Gold Summit' to 'Forbidden Summit' for some special reason."

Long Wan also said: "Although I don't know why he did this, but seeing that the prince of the Southern Prince is obviously very healthy, but he pretends to be sick and never shows up in the crowd, the things inside may have something to do with this prince. "

"Or, it has something to do with that little emperor." Dongfang Bubai suddenly said, "My subordinates have seen the appearance of that prince, and from what he said, that prince and the little emperor are almost like twins, almost identical in appearance. "

Li Xun Huan's whole body was shocked when he heard the words, all the thoughts in his mind were connected together, and everything pointed to an answer.

He smiled wryly, "I think I understand what King Nan wanted to do and why he did it."

An eldest son who looks exactly like the little emperor, a manager who is familiar with all the living habits of the little emperor, and a contest that can attract everyone's attention. With the help of the chief executive from the side, no one will find that their little emperor, who has just taken office and is not very familiar to everyone, has been stiffened by Li Daitao.

This method is really simple, ridiculously simple, but it is so effective. As long as it succeeds, there is no need to use a single soldier. This world belongs to their Nanping Palace.

Li Xunhuan figured it out, but Long Wan asked Dongfang Bubai suspiciously, "How do your subordinates know what the emperor looks like? He has been to Da Nei?"

Dongfang Bubai didn't hide it, but said very generously to Long Wan: "There are a lot of enshrined people from the rivers and lakes in Da Nei, and a few of them happened to be taught by me, the Sun Moon God, so this little I still know the news."

Although the Sun Moon God Sect is low-key now, in fact, its influence has covered the entire Daqi, and it is more prosperous than when our predecessor Wo Xing was in power. If Dongfang Bubai is willing, he can even give it a try Change of dynasty.

But Dongfang Bubai has never had such thoughts. Now he doesn't even care about the Sun Moon God Sect, so he is not willing to expand the sphere of influence.

Dongfang Bubai didn't say who "those people" were, Long Wan didn't ask, and even Li Xunhuan didn't ask, and he was even grateful that Dongfang Bubai was willing to tell him the news.

Dongfang Bubai also generously told Li Xunhuan the news about the hiding place of Prince Nan, and asked him to check whether the news was true.

It's not that Li Xunhuan doesn't believe in Dongfang Bubai, but this kind of thing can only be confirmed by seeing it with his own eyes, so after he got the evidence, he said goodbye to Dongfang Bubai and Long Wan, and went out to work.

After Li Xun Huan left, Long Wan was still chatting with Dongfang Bubai, she was more curious about that Ye Gucheng, so she asked Dongfang Bubai: "Since that Ye Gucheng is the master of Nan Wang's son, did he come to Beijing together? "

"Is that true? According to the news, the relationship between the prince of the Southern Prince and that Ye Gucheng does not seem to be particularly good. Although Ye Gucheng taught the prince of the Southern Prince the sword skills, he only taught the superficial. 'It's just a show, you can't see it at all."

"Then why did City Lord Ye accept this apprentice? Given his age, it is too early to accept an apprentice now, and he is only about ten years younger than him."

Ye Gucheng is only in his early twenties now, and he has not even mastered swordsmanship. All his energy should be spent on practicing his own swordsmanship. Long Wan believes that such a person may not even want to manage Baiyun City. How can you teach a disciple?

It wasn't mentioned in the original book, and Long Wan didn't have a deep understanding of this matter, she just remembered to ask when she encountered it.

Dongfang Bubai thought for a while and said: "King Nanping's fief is in the south, and it is only separated from Baiyun City by a sea. If you really want to count, as long as Nanwang is willing, Feixian Island can be incorporated into his fief. Maybe Ye Gucheng accepted this apprentice out of this consideration."

"Very likely." Long Wan nodded, otherwise, according to what Dongfang Bubai said, the son of Prince Nan is not very talented, and Ye Gucheng doesn't like him at all.

"By the way, although my people didn't find Ye Gucheng, they saw another rising star who is very similar to him. Ten years later, this person's swordsmanship has become so great that he might be able to fight with you and me."

It's just the strength of a battle, and I'm afraid it's impossible to win.

Long Wan heard this and said with a smile: "You mean Ximen Chuuxue?"

Dongfang Bubai said in surprise, "You knew it was him before I said it? How did you guess it?"

"What's so difficult about this, in this world, apart from A Fei and that Lord Ye, only Ximen Chuuxue is the only one who is outstanding in swordsmanship, and A Fei and City Lord Ye are fighting swords. I don't think he will miss it either, where did you see him? I heard that this man likes white and has a very outstanding appearance, but is it true?"

"I found that you are not an ordinary person who likes beauty, even people who pay attention to this are the first to pay attention to this."

Long Wan said disapprovingly: "Everyone has a love of beauty, how dare you say that you don't love beauty yourself? There is no one who likes to dress up more than you."

He likes to dress himself up, but Long Wan likes to look at beauties, how can this be confused?

Dongfang Bubai just wanted to refute, but Long Wan didn't give him a chance: "You haven't said where you saw him, so let's hear it. If the place is suitable, let's go and see it together."

That is the future sword god, even if it is the juvenile version, Long Wan has long wanted to take a look.

Speaking of this, Dongfang Bubai had a strange expression on his face: "My men found him in Hefangzhai."

This answer did not surprise Long Wan, after all she knew that Ximen Chuuxue actually owned the pastry shop.

However, "Didn't you destroy Hefangzhai? Why is there still someone here?"

"How long ago was that? Now the damage has been repaired long ago, and this Hefangzhai has reopened."

Dongfang Bubai has been sending people to keep an eye on Hefangzhai, in order to find the traces of Yu Luocha, but he did not expect that the person who did not wait for Yu Luocha, but Ximen Chuixue, and the shopkeeper of the pastry shop used "the boss "Come to call Ximen Chuuxue."

This made Dongfang Bubai have to wonder if Ximen Chuixue had something to do with Yu Luocha, but his people only found out that Ximen Chuuxue was the owner of Wanmei Villa, and this Wanmei Villa only appeared many years ago At present, there is only Ximen Chuuxue as the master, and the others cannot be found out at all.

That's why Dongfang Bubai became more suspicious of Ximen Chuuxue's relationship with Yu Luocha, so he paid more attention to him.

After paying attention to him for a long time, I have come to appreciate this man's dedication to swords. Linghu Chong, who has learned Dugu Nine Swords, can't compare with him at all.

"So is Ximen Chuuxue still in Hefangzhai?" Long Wan felt a little regretful. Last time they broke up someone's shop, they are probably on the blacklist of refusal to come and go. If I want to go to see Ximen Chuuxue at their place, I'm afraid It is impossible.

Seeing her like this, Dongfang Bubai sneered and said, "That Ximen Chuuxue goes out to practice sword every day. If you want to watch it, you can go to a nearby restaurant and spend some time."

What he said was originally a joke, but Long Wan took it seriously and thought it was very feasible.

She even said to Dongfang Bubai with great interest: "Give me a share of his travel time, and I'll go and have a look when I get back."

Dongfang Bubai didn't expect that she would really go, and choked when he heard this.

"How could I have such a thing!" Was he Long Wan? He would be interested in this kind of thing, and his subordinates would not be so boring. It was only after going out to practice swords instead of doing other things that I mentioned it.

But in the end, Dongfang Bubai still asked his subordinates to ask for Ximen Chuuxue's travel time for Long Wan, which made his subordinates think there was some mystery in it, and deliberately traced the process of Ximen Chuuxue's sword practice.

——Fortunately, Ximen Chuuxue's current swordsmanship is not great, and the people of the Sun Moon God Sect are just watching from a distance, otherwise this trip would be to feed Ximen Chuuxue's sword.

Long Wan got the itinerary, and after reading it, she couldn't help sighing that it's no wonder that this person can become a sword god. Every day before dawn, she gets up to practice swords, and she practices for two hours. After breakfast, she will go to meditate again Practicing kung fu will not appear until the afternoon, and then he will continue to practice swords, and will not rest until the light of the lamp. At the end of the day, Ximen Chuuxue's time is completely dedicated to his sword.

Sure enough, he deserves to be the man who finally abandoned his wife for his own sword. No one can match this love for the sword, not even Ye Gucheng.

After getting the information, Long Wan decided to go to stay. She first chose an inn that could see the front and back doors of Hefangzhai and even the courtyard, and opened the upper room on the highest floor.

——This is actually a bit difficult, because there are too many people in the capital recently, the inns and restaurants in the capital are basically full of people, but who told her to choose the inn run by the Hua family, what does the lady of the host want for a room? Difficult, in order to meet Long Wan's request, the inn's display cabinet fooled the original guest, making him happily take the compensation money from the display cabinet and go to live in other rooms.

When Long Wan fixed the room, she specifically asked Dongfang Bubai if she wanted to be together. As for the others, she didn't tell. After all, she was there to see people. How could she tell the juniors about such things? Have you lost your status as an elder?

"Forget it, you have to go by yourself." Dongfang Bubai didn't want to get involved in Long Wan's troubles at all, and drove her away impatiently. At that time, he might as well hurry up and get the picture of hundreds of flowers she asked for. Embroidered it.

Long Wan said that she would go out for a day, but the others didn't ask much, so she stayed in the inn alone.

The inn is very large and extremely high, with five floors. It is a landmark building in the nearby streets. You can see the reason. Long Wanding's room is on the fifth floor. Open the window and look out. Diagonally opposite is Hefangzhai is here, and you can still see the backyard of Hefangzhai from here, but it’s too far away to see clearly.

But since Long Wan is here to see people, she is naturally prepared. In Daqi, glass has existed for a long time. There are even large glass mirrors among the imported products brought back from overseas, which are treasures in the eyes of Daqi people. .And Daqi himself can produce glass, but he can't make transparent ones like overseas and Hyundai, so he can't make glass mirrors by himself.

After Long Wan married Hua Ruling, she knew that Hua's family had a workshop specializing in making glassware, so she asked the craftsmen there to study it. Other related glass products, such as large pieces of glass for windows, glasses, telescopes and the like in modern times.

However, because the production process is relatively difficult, and all are purely handmade, the output of finished products cannot be increased, so these things are still extremely expensive commodities that cannot be widely circulated for the time being.

But Long Wan has an all-glass greenhouse at Hua’s house—now it is basically used by Huamu and Huamanlou for planting flowers, and she also equips Huafu and Huamu who have bad eyesight with reading glasses, and the telescope is even more It became a military item and was specially supplied to the imperial court.

Of course, she also kept a telescope for herself, which was always in the package, and it just came in handy now.
