Tremble, mortals!

What did Ye Gucheng do here?

It seems that the city lord of Baiyun City on Feixian Island has no reason to come ashore, and he may not have much interest in the Central Plains martial arts, but he appeared in Suzhou at this time.

Ordinary people would not know the reason why Ye Gucheng came, but those who were a little closer knew that this time Ye Gucheng was invited.

The one who invited him was Chuuxue, Ximen of Wanmei Villa.

Gong Jiu's teasing of Lu Xiaofeng made the Sword God and the Sword Fairy really connect, which may be something he didn't expect.

However, just because of Ximen Chuuxue's invitation, will Ye Gucheng come to Central Plains?Does the change in Nanwang Mansion really have nothing to do with him?no one knows.

In fact, to be honest, Ye Gucheng didn't know who the two people in the inn were, but subconsciously felt that those two people were not simple.But in this rivers and lakes, there are many people who are not easy, and he didn't pay too much attention to them.At this moment, he has arrived at the property of Baiyun City in Suzhou, in an exquisite garden.In order not to reveal their identities, Gong Jiu and Zhu Hongjing live in a place like an inn. No matter how picky Gong Jiu is about the living environment, he can't just come here as he likes in the palace for consideration. To be honest, he resents it of.If he knew that Ye Gucheng lived directly in this kind of place, he would definitely be even more upset.

It's nothing, to put it bluntly, it's just envy, jealousy and hatred.Gong Jiu has always been a narrow-minded guy.

From the pier to the annex, when Ye Gucheng sat down in the hall, the maid had already walked in holding a pigeon, took off the letter paper from the pigeon's feet, and handed it to Ye Gucheng.

The person who delivered the letter to Ye Gucheng in this way, without hesitation, was naturally Ximen Chuuxue.

This correspondence has been going on for some time.As the two most outstanding swordsmen in the world, these two people can be said to cherish each other. Although they each have different views on swordsmanship, they can confirm each other.These two people are very similar. On the road of chasing the ultimate sword, it is so lucky to meet a companion.You know, even Dugu Qiubai can only grow old slowly in loneliness.

However, perhaps Ximen Chuuxue invited Ye Gucheng purely because he wanted to have a discussion with this confidant in swordsmanship. After all, a letter conversation can never be enjoyable, and some experiences that can only be understood but not expressed in words cannot be communicated.But it was not that simple for Ye Gucheng to agree to the invitation.

The so-called descendant of the former dynasty seems to be a noble status, but it is an irresistible responsibility.Ye Gucheng should be a peerless swordsman, he should be obsessed with the sword, everyone thinks so.However, there is always a gap between imagination and reality.Regardless of whether Ye Gucheng is a sword fairy or not, he must bear the so-called responsibility of the Ye family in the South China Sea to restore the country.

It is not clear whether Ye Gucheng chose to assassinate the emperor by himself, or whether he did it on purpose?It was so easy to be discovered, so easy to be exposed by later generations, it seemed that he was waiting for someone to stop his actions and expose him.Because he has violated his own way of the sword while taking responsibility.

Living in this world, there are always many constraints, and few people can get real freedom. Even Ye Gucheng is just one of the living beings.

In Ye Gucheng's plan, after he and Ximen Chuuxue meet, they will agree on a decisive battle.This decisive battle is an inevitability for the two top swordsmen, and for the responsibility that the Ye family has borne for generations, he must also turn it into an inevitability.

He is going to assassinate the emperor.

From the time of the first emperor to the present, the chaos of the kings has never stopped. Now Nan Wang expressed his willingness to cooperate with him, and even gave him the title of master of Nan Wang Shizi, but he did not let him see Nan Wang Shizi at all. The meaning of use is already very obvious.However, if this is the case, Ye Gucheng can only choose to cooperate with Nanwang, or in other words, he has no choice at all.Because only Nan Wang would give him such a chance, so this extremely proud person can only bow his head!

Ye Gucheng felt helpless, why not Ximen Chuuxue?

Or it should be said that this sword god is at a loss.

What he was confused about was not the secret above swordsmanship, but a woman.

Sun Xiuqing.

In fact, Ximen Chuuxue's life of more than twenty years has always been centered on the sword.He never thought that a woman would suddenly intervene in his life, and it was after he killed the other party's master.However, as a man, when a girl who is not ugly or beautiful directly expresses her admiration to you, wavering is inevitable.After all, Sun Xiuqing is a woman who dares to love and hate, so she became the first person to directly express her admiration for Ximen Chuuxue, and number one is always a privilege.

At least, Ximen Chuuxue would not treat her with the view that a woman with a sword is no longer a woman as he said.

Lu Xiaofeng teased Ximen Chuuxue, but he was happy to see his friend has someone to take care of him.But from the beginning to the end, Ximen Chuuxue felt apprehensive.It wasn't because of the so-called enmity between teachers and teachers, he just felt that it was against harmony, and subconsciously felt that he should avoid Sun Xiuqing.

This feeling continued to increase with the communication with Ye Gucheng.

For Ximen Chuuxue, Lu Xiaofeng is a friend, and Ye Gucheng is a confidant, they are walking on the same path and pursuing the same goal.As for Sun Xiuqing, his paths would never intersect.

The so-called sword god is still a human being after all, so he naturally has many thoughts of ordinary people, but it's just that he has a firm mind and it's hard to move his thoughts.Therefore, for such a long period of time, he allowed Sun Xiuqing to approach without any reaction.

This time, when inviting Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuuxue probably wanted to get an answer from another peerless swordsman.

No matter how much the two major swordsmen of the present age have their own concerns, Gong Jiu is very happy at this moment.

He firmly believed that his character must have played a role, so Zhu Hongjing's stupid posting of invitations to visit the garden actually succeeded.It's not that one or two families agreed to let them visit the garden. In fact, seven or eight out of ten families agreed.

So is this the prototype of the legendary hospitable people?It turns out that the story of running to an unknown person's house and begging for a night in the ancient vernacular is actually feasible!

Walking in other people's gardens, the servants in front of them led them the way under the orders of the master, and introduced the scenery in the garden. Although Gong Jiu was still placed in a chapter of sliced ​​noodles, his eyes were bright and he was full of ambition.

Zhu Hongjing squinted at him, only thinking it was funny.Although the owners of these gardens are happy to show off their gardens, how could they allow people to enter their gardens casually out of the idea of ​​distinguishing themselves?On the surface, it seems that they just handed over invitations, how could it be possible that Zhu Hongjing didn't do something in private?And Gong Jiu is like this, is he too naive, or this guy just didn't use his head to think about what's going on?

Or he knew a long time ago that Gong Jiu never deliberately thought about whether he used any means, he just trusted him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongjing couldn't help but smile slightly.

After laughing, he couldn't help frowning again, accompanying Gong Jiu to go to the south of the Yangtze River, after all, he still had business to do.Nanwang's power itself is close to the South China Sea, and he was worried that they would get involved with Nanhai Ye's when the Nanhai Mansion changed at the beginning.In Suzhou, Ye Gucheng's unexpected appearance did not seem to be that simple.

Just because of Ximen Chuuxue's invitation?Even though it was already difficult to hear the news, Zhu Hongjing still didn't believe that it was so simple.

He needs to know more, otherwise he can't feel at ease.At this point in time when he finally had the opportunity to completely resolve the threats of the kings, any disturbance would make Zhu Hongjing feel nervous.

If it weren't for the great power of Jianghu, things might not be so troublesome.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" After being led to sit down in the pavilion in the garden, Gong Jiu looked away and found Zhu Hongjing in a daze.

Zhu Hongjing blinked, and answered directly: "Ye Gucheng, Lord of Baiyun City."

Gong Jiu was stunned for a moment. This kind of topic seems to be discussed quietly behind closed doors, right?Why did Zhu Hongjing speak so openly when he was still in his garden?However, when he took a closer look, the brilliance in the other party's eyes made him instantly understand.Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, has been the topic of discussion in Suzhou recently. It would be strange to avoid it. What is there to avoid?

"Well, he...is very powerful." Gong Jiu responded to Zhu Hongjing in this way. Compared with the Ximen Chuuxue he saw back then, the Ye Gucheng he saw this time left a deeper impression on Gong Jiu.In fact, Gong Jiu felt that it was mostly because Ximen Chuuxue was not too old back then, so he did not reach Ye Gucheng's current power.At least, when she looked down through the window in the inn, the first thing Gong Jiu saw was the restrained but extremely sharp eyes, and she didn't even have time to pay attention to the title on the other side's head, let alone the appearance.

Very powerful?Zhu Hongjing was stunned when he heard Gong Jiu's words.To be honest, it's rare to see Gong Jiu giving such a high evaluation to someone just because of one side. You must know that this guy always belittles everyone and exalts himself. It is used as a reference to set off the glorious image of Gong Jiu.Even though everyone knows the facts, from Gong Jiu's point of view, this is the first time he has directly given such a high evaluation to someone.Zhu Hongjing narrowed his eyes, feeling a little annoyed.Why did Ye Gucheng endure this kind of treatment even if he didn't have it?

"Ye Gucheng, isn't it just a high level of martial arts?" If it is really a comparison of status and status, can he compare himself to himself?

Gong Jiu rolled his eyes at Zhu Hongjing who was obviously looking for trouble when he was fine.Obviously, he looked down upon Zhu Hongjing's childish behavior of wanting to gain the upper hand.Regardless of the value of force, Zhu Hongjing is the emperor after all, ruling the huge empire makes him always have a different temperament from others.

Not everyone can accept the coercion of the lord of the world.Jianghu is Jianghu after all, those who stand at the top in Jianghu may not be able to maintain calm under Zhu Hongjing's oppression, there are really not many people who can be like Ye Gucheng, maybe Lu Xiaofeng is one of them?

"Jiu'er, I think you should be on my side anyway." Zhu Hongjing sighed in response to Gong Jiu's reaction, why did he think that Gong Jiu was turning his elbow outward?

"Aren't I just on your side?" Zhu Hongjing is really stingy to care about such things.Gong Jiu slandered, but still comforted her.

Looking at Gong Jiu's ignorant expression, Zhu Hongjing felt a little melancholy.Sometimes, standing here and standing here are different.But Gong Jiu, at least the current Gong Jiu doesn't understand what Zhu Hongjing is hiding in his words.

It's a bit disappointing to say it, but when I think about it carefully, I think it's okay if I don't understand it. With Gong Jiu's temperament, if he understands it now, he will run away, right?Also worry about really scaring him.

Let's take it slowly, there will always be such a day.

Zhu Hongjing made such a decision. He was sure that he had enough patience and skill to boil the frog in warm water.
