Immortal sword edge

The reason why Ye Gucheng left was because he received a piece of news, a piece of news that would definitely shock the world if it spread!

The emperor is critically ill!

He did not doubt the authenticity of the news, because it was the dark building in Baiyun City who sent the news.

The dark building is a place dedicated to cultivating secret agents and spying on news. It has existed since the day Baiyun City was built, and it has more than doubled its size in ten years.Nowadays, not only in the Jianghu, but also in the palace, there are also people from hidden buildings in the court and border gates, and some even occupy high positions.After all, he has one more known ten years than others, and he also knew very well to plot against the officials in the court. If that is the case, how could he not take advantage of these advantages.

He has already started planning ten years ago. Those masters who will become famous in the future, high officials who will climb to high positions, talented scholars who will gain fame, and soldiers who will rise step by step...whether they are famous or profitable, or they are difficult. At that time, he helped one or two, and used all means to take them into the dark building, so that they could offer their loyalty to Baiyun City and him.

Now that he has done it all over again, of course he will not allow himself to repeat the same mistakes!

Everything was planned, using the decisive battle on the night of the full moon to divert most people's attention, and let the prince of the Southern King replace the emperor after changing his appearance. This time, he was completely sure that Lu Xiaofeng would not find out the slightest suspicion. Thus ruining his plan.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Lu Xiaofeng finds out about his plan with the Nanwangfu again, he still has a second plan. The big deal is to directly rebel against the Nanwangfu. With the current strength of Baiyun City, it is not impossible , but the loss was a bit heavy.

Of course, he would never choose this path unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, he did not expect that the emperor would be critically ill, and according to the news he received, the day of his death was coming soon.

This did not make him feel the slightest joy, but a sudden panic rose in his heart!

Yes, panic!

This is something that never happened in the life in his memory. History has changed, beyond his control, enough to cause him uneasiness.

This is not the world before!Since his rebirth, he has never been so clearly aware of this!

He hurried all the way, he didn't go back to Baiyun City, but went to Nanwang Mansion, after all, they were allies, so he had to go there himself for such an important matter.

To his surprise, on the way, he met a person, a person he was not very familiar with but also not a stranger.

The handsome young man doesn't look very big, only about 26, but his temples are already stained with frost.But his smile is very bright, free and unrestrained, without any haze.Even if he was just sitting in a dilapidated wine shop, holding a chipped porcelain bowl, his gestures were heroic.

Seeing Ye Gucheng, he was also very surprised, stood up holding the wine bowl, and said loudly: "Meeting is worse than meeting by chance, can the city lord come and have a drink?"

Ye Gucheng got off his horse and sat opposite him. Instead of drinking, he ordered a bowl of water and drank it slowly.

Ao Lianmin smiled, "Looks like the city lord and Ximen don't like drinking." He said, looking behind each other deliberately, and then said: "Why? Isn't Ximen with you?"

The hand holding the tea bowl paused slightly, and Ye Gucheng felt a bitter taste in his stomach. He admitted that he left without saying goodbye on purpose, not only because he didn't know how to face him, but also because the scene of greeting him was too dazzling.

Is this kind of feeling left over from a long time ago?Or is it from your own heart?Ximen Chuuxue's words echoed in his ears again, he knew that he was shaken, especially after he survived the Tsingyi Building, but his rationality firmly suppressed this wavering!

Ao Lianmin sighed, and muttered in a low voice, "It's been so long, so he hasn't done it yet!"

The sharp eyes suddenly shot at him, Ye Gucheng felt cold all over his body, and said coldly: "You know?" Although it was a question, it was affirmative.

Ao Lianmin shuddered, and said with a dry smile, "Actually, not much, hahaha..."

The dry laughter became lower and lower under the cold gaze of the other party, and gradually disappeared without a trace. He touched his nose in embarrassment, and said: "Well, actually, I don't know much. I heard a little from Ahan. I also inquired some more from the servants of the village, and with my own guesses, I probably got the seven or eight eight."

Ye Gucheng withdrew his gaze, drank the water slowly, and put the porcelain bowl back on the table firmly, before he got up, it was time to leave.

"City Lord!" Ao Lianmin's expression became rare and serious, "Maybe I'm talking too much, but I still want to say something, cherish what you have in front of you, don't regret it when you lose it like me!"

Ye Gucheng's heart skipped a beat, do you cherish what's in front of you? !A pair of clear black eyes clearly appeared in his mind.Those eyes are always lonely, indifferent and sneering when looking at others, without any emotion, but they are completely different to him, soft, smiling, affectionate... from the previous life He is not at all different.

Is he too stubborn?Even if Ye Gucheng has become, he still fixes himself in the mold of Ye Gucheng behind the Forbidden Top, that Ye Gucheng is Ximen Chuuxue's opponent, that Ye Gucheng is Ximen Chuuxue's confidant, that Ye Gucheng is absolutely not Possibly in love with Ximen Chuuxue!Thinking this way, he did the same thing, pushing the other party away again and again, ignoring his own heart that was beating gradually!

———————————————————————————————————————————————— —————

Ping'an Town is still the same Ping'an Town, quiet and remote, with simple folk customs, people in the town work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living a comfortable and peaceful life.

Two figures, one white and one blue, walked quietly on the street. Their outstanding appearance and demeanor attracted passing townspeople to look back twice.Curious people were already whispering to each other about the origins of the two, but the long sword on Ximen Chuuxue's back and the cold air all over his body made them keep their voices to a minimum.

Tang Mu smiled lowly: "The one who just walked past is Li Si from Zhenxi blacksmith shop. We made troubles with him a lot when we were young, but he no longer recognizes us."

Ximen Chuuxue said indifferently: "Even your mother-in-law may not be able to recognize your current appearance."

A look of sadness appeared on Tang Mu's face, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Ximen Chuuxue frowned and fell silent.

The small courtyard is still the same small courtyard, with white walls and black tiles, the dark gate is locked with a rusty iron lock, the lanterns under the eaves are dilapidated and dilapidated, and only a few bare wooden sticks remain to maintain the general shape.

Ximen Chuuxue and Tang Mu leaped lightly and jumped into the wall without alarming anyone.

The courtyard was in a state of depression. After all, no one had lived in it for more than ten years. Only the osmanthus tree in the courtyard was pleasing to the eye, and it looked even taller than before.It is the golden autumn at this moment, the trees are full of light yellow, very exquisite, when the breeze blows, the fragrance is overflowing, and the fragrance is wafting from ten miles away.

Tang Mu pushed the door open and entered. The dimly lit room was still furnished, but it was covered with a thick layer of dust, making it unpopular.

He raised his hand and took out the big windmill plugged into the wall, and with a light blow, the smoke and dust filled the air, and the colorful leaves creaked and turned.

Looking at the windmill in his hand, he smiled, and said to the person standing behind him who did not know when: "Mr. Ling gave it to me! I have always liked it, and I don't even let others touch it."

Ximen Chuuxue was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go."

"It's time to go." Tang Mu put the windmill back to its original place. The years have passed and cannot be reversed. Everything here belongs to Xu Baoer, not Tang Mu, let alone Yu Tianbao.

After leaving the place where they used to live, they went to the Xu family ancestral grave, where Xu Baoer's parents and the old man who had suffered all his life were buried.

The old man's grave is not desolate, although there are some weeds that look neat, it is obvious that people often come to tidy up the worship.

Tang Mu was surprised, "There should be no one else in the Xu family except me."

Ximen Chuuxue said indifferently: "The people I hired will come to clean up every once in a while."

Tang Mu's brows and eyes were soft, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

The two arranged the offerings neatly, and then burned the coins.The black smoke drifted and reflected on the corners of the two people's clothes, Ximen Chuuxue rarely paid attention to it.

Tang Mu flicked the flame, and suddenly said: "I came back once before."

Sensing Ximen Chuuxue's gaze, he smiled slightly and continued: "When I was abducted, I was ten years old after all, and I still have some memories. When I was able, I came back once, but there was no one at home. Granny is dead, and you and Mr. Ling are gone too."

Ximen Chuuxue's back was straight, his face was calm, and there was a trace of apology in his black eyes.

Tang Mu stood up, raised his right arm and wanted to put it on his shoulder, but when he raised it in mid-air, he retracted it, and he smiled: "Actually, I have wanted to tell you a long time ago, what happened back then was not yours. You really don’t need to blame yourself for your mistake, you must know that you were only a ten-year-old child at that time. If you want to blame, you can only blame me for being playful, if I didn’t go out at that time.”

Ximen Chuuxue was silent, but the corners of his tightly pursed lips revealed his stubbornness.

Tang Mu sighed, turned to face the tombstone and said, "I'm fine now. I'm in good health. I'm free from illness and pain. I ate well, drank well and slept well in Wanmei Villa. Ximen also took good care of me..." He talked about his life and recent situation in a low voice, and Ximen Chuuxue listened quietly, without the slightest impatience.

Suddenly, he changed the subject and said a little aggrieved: "The only bad thing now is only one thing..."

Ximen Chuuxue frowned.

"...I fell in love with Xiao Ximen, but unfortunately he doesn't like me..."

"But I won't give up so easily, I will try my best to make him like me..."

Ximen Chuuxue closed his eyes, that familiar face clearly appeared in his mind, with a chill and alienation, he pushed him away, then turned and left without looking back.

The black eyes opened, and they quietly fell on the gentle and handsome young man beside him. He remembered the shy smiling child and the bent old man with a kind face.

So, on the way back, he said to the people around him, "Let's try."

Looking at the ecstatic expression on the other party's face, he thought, that's it, it's not bad anyway, at least he is happy...
