Sword of the Son of Heaven [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

On the night of the full moon, on the top of the Forbidden City, a sword comes to the west, and immortals fly from the sky.

In just half a month, the news that "Baiyun City Lord Ye Gucheng and Wanmei Villa Ximen Chuuxue will have a decisive battle on August [-]th at the top of the Forbidden City in the imperial city" has been spread all over the rivers and lakes, no matter how stupid people are. It can be seen that there must be someone behind this, otherwise how could it leak out?

At the beginning, only Ximen Chuixue and the people from Wanmei Villa knew about the appointment. After the letter of the appointment reached Ye Gucheng, the people in Baiyun City also knew about it. The three parties know the power of this matter.

To judge others by himself, Ximen Chuuxue is a pure swordsman. He has regarded the sword as the most important thing in his life, so naturally he cannot tolerate the way of the sword being tarnished.And Ye Gucheng and him are both confidantes and opponents. I am afraid that no one in the world can understand each other's sword better than the two of them. It is impossible for them to like being stared at by a circle of people during a duel.It was precisely because of this that Ximen Chuuxue blamed Nan Wangfu for the news leak, but Nan Wang Shizi was Ye Gucheng's nominal apprentice, so he didn't make things difficult.

If Ye Shaotang knew Ximen Chuuxue's thoughts, he would try his best to fool Ximen Chuuxue into trouble with the Nanwang Mansion, and by the way send Wumingdao there as well. Let them play by themselves!

It is already the beginning of August, less than half a month away from August [-]th, and all forces have already left for the capital.No matter whether they are qualified or have a way to enter the Forbidden City, they will gather in the capital and try their best to get the qualification to watch the battle.

After today's accession to the throne, he did not suppress the martial arts. According to past policies, it is very likely that the two major swordsmen will be given quotas for the decisive battle of the two swordsmen, allowing martial arts people to enter the palace.It is precisely because of this possibility that people in the rivers and lakes are so active in muddying the water.

As for those who are sure that they have no hope of obtaining the qualification to watch the battle, they simply choose to stay in the capital to watch and place bets.Now in the capital, there are more and more handicap games opened based on the result of the battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue, and there are naturally many people who place bets, and the bets are accumulating more and more. It is estimated that by August [-]th there will be one Astronomical figures.

If you can win this gamble, you will definitely get a lot of benefits.For this reason, many people have devoted all their possessions to this decisive battle, and they must ensure that they are the ultimate winners.

Ye Shaotang was not very happy about this.

This is the decisive battle between his family's Queen Ye and the Queen's sword, Tao, knowledge, and self. What does it matter to others?His queen is in a life-and-death struggle with another, man, man, maybe one of them is not handled well, and they look at each other... Then he will be a disaster (T_T)

What's more, even if he wanted to start the game, he, the official husband (person) of the Lord of Baiyun, should be the one to sit on the bank... Cough cough, how could he start the game with the safety of his own queen?Of course, a good man should be gentle and considerate. In this case, he should pay more attention to Ye Gucheng's inner feelings, and arrest all those who dare to use the decisive battle to make money. critical education.

And then...

Cangjian Villa was the first shot in the rivers and lakes when it first entered the rivers and lakes. It opened a nationally unified, official, and completely legal gambling game. The second young master made a huge fortune, everyone is happy!

The ideal is so beautiful, but the reality is so cruel.In order not to be exposed in advance, Ye Shaotang silently gave up such a beautiful plan, and he decided to cheat... No, it was to search the casino.

This has already made him feel very unhappy, not to mention the recent rumors in the world that Ye Gucheng was hurt by Tang Tianyi's wife because he molested him. It has not been untied.

Molesting?Injuried?Poisoned?This idea is definitely not Ye Gucheng's own idea. He is so brain-dead and can't stand scrutiny, it must be his pig teammate Nan Wang Shizi!

The same goes for Ye Gucheng, how could he agree to such fake news that damages his boudoir reputation (...)?If someone takes this matter seriously, then in the near future, such a news will inevitably spread in the Jianghu—"The current queen once molested a good woman in the Jianghu, and was caught by someone and turned her back!"!

...What a bad guess_(:з」∠)_

Ye Shaotang gritted his teeth, and secretly decided that he couldn't give Nan Wang Shizi a good time, he had to clean up properly.

The only thing that gave him some psychological comfort was that as soon as August entered, a new task appeared in the game system that had not been moved for a long time——

Mission: Battle!Hero Forbidden City!

Mission objective: Frustrate King Pingnan's plot and facilitate the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.

reward:

Get money: 50 gold.

Obtain court deterrence: 80

Gain loyalty from courtiers: 80

Obtained court prestige: 300

Obtained Jianghu (civilian) reputation: 1000

The corner of Ye Shaotang's mouth twitched, the Forbidden City is obviously his old den, right?The feeling of hitting one’s own home in daily battles is very subtle ←_← Ye Ershao was in a bad mood, and he blamed Ye Gucheng for the triggering of this mission—if it wasn’t for this guy who invited Ximen Chuuxue to play "You" on the top of the Forbidden City. Poke me with a sword, I'll poke you" game, his old den will not become a big square in XX, and he will give free tickets for martial arts people to visit, all he has to do is agree to contribute to the square dance with a swipe of a pen (... ) too.

No longer thinking about Ye Gucheng who changed from "Queen Ye" to "this guy", Ye Shaotang thought of the real and fake tickets that were bought and sold in the original book, and his petty eyes unconsciously emerged.Now that he is in charge, he can't be stupid and just give away the quota of entering the palace to watch the battle for free.As soon as he rolled his eyes, he had a good idea, whether the tickets were real or fake, all of them would generate income for the court.

With some balance in mind, Ye Ershao focused on the mission rewards again.

Although there were no physical rewards, the added numerical rewards such as "Courier's Loyalty", which seemed very practical at first glance, were exactly what he needed most now.A one-time increase of 80 points, coupled with the attributes carried by the courtiers, adds up to a very impressive amount.

And compared to other rewards, numerical rewards that increase deterrence, loyalty, and reputation are more suitable for Ye Shaotang. This can be said to be a pillow from sleepiness, so that he has no worries.

In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of August [-]th.

Ye Shaotang stayed in the south study to deal with government affairs, and his diligent appearance could not tell that he was the same person as the previous faint king in disguise.

Ren Yu came in from outside the hall and reported softly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gu has just sent a message that City Lord Ye has arrived at his residence and wants to enter the palace."

"He wants to enter the palace? What is he here for?"

Ye Shaotang raised his eyebrows. He didn't appear to be overjoyed when he heard his sweetheart come back. On the contrary, he snorted very noblely and coldly: "Anyone in the palace can enter at will. Is it right? Casually took the Hall of Supreme Harmony as the location of the decisive battle, did he ask me? Tell Gu Xichao, leave Ye Gucheng alone, and let him play by himself!"

"Observe the order." Ren Yu knew very well what kind of character his master had, and he also knew that he was really angry, so he didn't pause at all, and hurried out to convey the master's oral order to Gu Xichao.

It's just... Will City Lord Ye really do what His Majesty wishes?Ren Yu was a little uncertain.But in any case, his master would not want City Master Ye to see the busy scene in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so he turned a corner and told the inner eunuchs who cleaned, oiled, and maintained the glazed tiles to pay attention to the time and not be caught by outsiders. Found.

As soon as Ren Yu came out of the south study room, Ye Shaotang lifted his head pretending to be reading the memorial. His eyes wandered over the beams for a while without focusing, and then he sighed heavily and continued to lower his head to work.

Not long after, he heard the small sound of the door being pushed open again. He thought it was Ren Yu who came in, so he ordered casually without raising his head, "Go get some supper."

The person who came did not answer, nor did he leave, but walked a few steps in Ye Shaotang's direction.

"you do not want to see me?"

This voice... Ye Gucheng!

Ye Shaotang was taken aback for a moment, then he reacted and raised his head suddenly.

Ye Gucheng, who was dressed in white and held a sword, was standing not far in front of him. On his ice-like face in front of outsiders, there was a trace of tenderness and pampering that only he could have for him: "Shao Tang."

Ye Shaotang fixedly looked at the person opposite, no matter how much resentment he had towards Ye Gucheng before, when he met him unprepared, he realized that he missed him so much.

He took a deep breath: "What are you doing here?" Labor and management will no longer be fooled by your beauty trick o(▔ヘ▔o#)

Ye Gucheng walked around the desk in a blink of an eye and walked to his side: "You are angry."

Ye Shaotang looked at him, his eyes were shining with the meaning of "Laozi is angry, why don't you come and admit your mistake": "I shouldn't be angry?"

A smile flashed across Ye Gucheng's eyes: "It's because I didn't think carefully."

...Ye Gucheng would even apologize?Ye Ershao stared at him with a little horror, maybe it was disguised: "Are you Sikong Zhaixing?"

And then... no more.

Ren Yu, who had just conveyed Ye Shaotang's intention of not allowing Ye Gucheng to enter the palace, came back and found that the South Study Room was empty, and asked the guards standing guard around him, but they didn't get a definite answer.The emperor's martial arts were superb, and it wasn't once or twice that he disappeared suddenly. He thought about it and decided to go to the bedroom.

Ren Yu who sensed what was going on in the bedroom: "..."

He silently cleaned up the people around the palace, and then personally kept watch.

The next day it was a matter of course.

Rubbing his old waist that was about to break, Ye Shaotang reflected deeply. He obviously accused Ye Gucheng Xingshi of his crimes, so how did he roll on the bed in the end?Isn't this development too weird? !

He suddenly thought of something very important, and while Ye Gucheng was out of the palace and continued to infiltrate the Nanwangfu's rebel gang, he hurriedly said: "Go and let the people who take care of the Hall of Supreme Harmony pay attention, don't be caught Ye Gucheng saw it!"

Ren Yu immediately reassured: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servants have already ordered them to go down last night, and City Lord Ye will not find out."

Ye Shaotang breathed a sigh of relief, and praised: "You have done a good job, and I will give you another task next."
