The Melon-eating Swordsman In the Ancient Dragon World - Chapter 377

Chapter 377 Return to the Forbidden City

 Wei Ziyun and Lu Xiaofeng left first, while everyone hung behind them at a distance.

It’s so lively, if you don’t watch it, wouldn’t it be a lifelong regret?

 So, with Su Shaoying leading the way, everyone followed him.

Yin Xian and other imperial guards were also grateful for Su Shaoying’s previous reminder. As long as they did not get too close to the south study room where the emperor slept, they did not stop them.

Just when they were still some distance away from the South Study Room, a scream came from over there.

 Honest monk’s expression changed, and Ouyang Qing said, “It’s the voice of the aunt!”

Su Shaoying nodded, “Madam, you have done a great job in rescuing me. From now on, the red shoes will have a backstage.”

Ouyang Qing looked at Su Shaoying, “Sure enough, you already knew it!”

Everyone looked at Su Shaoying, and Yin Xian said with some resentment, “You knew this a long time ago, but you didn’t tell us?”

Su Shaoying blinked, “But I have no evidence. What if nothing happens? How embarrassing would that be?”

Everyone looked at Su Shaoying with disdain. Based on his calm expression just now and his words of praise for Sikong Zhaixing, if he was not sure, everyone would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree.

 The next moment, a white figure broke through the night and appeared on the eaves of the nearby hall.

 “It’s Ye Gucheng!” Yin Xian called out.

The clothes and appearance are exactly the same as the fake Ye Gucheng just now. In his hand is also a strange-style long sword with a black sheath. His lightness is like ascending to immortality in the air, as if he is flying.

Sikong Zhaixing couldn’t help but click his tongue. Until now, he really didn’t believe it, “He actually went to assassinate the emperor!?”

 The next moment, another white figure suddenly appeared at the end of the eaves where Ye Gucheng was.

 Ye Gucheng suddenly stopped.

 The person who appeared in front of him was Ximen Chuixue!

At the same time, behind Ye Gucheng, two more figures broke through the night fog. One was Lu Xiaofeng, and beside him was an ordinary-looking palace maid, but the double daggers in her hands exposed her identity.

 “Auntie!” Ouyang Qing shouted.

Aunt Gongsun flew over, “You are here too!”

Ouyang Qing asked hurriedly, “What’s going on?”

“Ye Gucheng conspired with King Pingnan to usurp the throne, murder the emperor, and replace Tao Jiang with Prince Pingnan’s eldest son Li.” Aunt Gongsun said.

“Li Daitao is stiff?” Ouyang Qing asked in surprise, “Aren’t they afraid of suspicion?”

“The prince of Prince Pingnan looks exactly the same as the emperor.” Aunt Gongsun explained, “General Manager Wang is their internal correspondent in the palace.”

 “Manager Wang?” Ouyang Qing said, “Is this the manager who went to Yiqingyuan?”

 Aunt Gongsun nodded, “That’s him!”

Lu Xiaofeng came closer to Su Shaoying and said bitterly, “You already knew everything, but you didn’t tell me anything?”

Su Shaoying blinked innocently, “You said you wanted to investigate it yourself, how can you blame me now?”

“Me!” Lu Xiaofeng was speechless, “Aren’t you afraid that Aunt Gongsun won’t be able to stop Ye Gucheng?”

“It’s true that Aunt Gongsun can’t stop Ye Gucheng, but she can still delay it, and you’ve got enough information. I believe you can react.”

Lu Xiaofeng was very proud of receiving praise, but he still asked curiously, “Since you know everything, why don’t you come here in person?”

Su Shaoying glanced sideways at Lu Xiaofeng, “Are you stupid?”

 Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled, “How do you say that?”

Su Shaoying raised her first finger, “I am the heir to the head of the Emei Sect. The Emei Sect and the Prince of Shu’s Palace are partners on the surface. Will the emperor trust me?”

 Then he raised his second finger, “If I really gain the emperor’s trust and get close to the emperor, will the Shu Palace continue to trust the Emei Sect in the future?”

“I will never do anything that is not pleasing to both ends. It is enough for you and Gongsun to do it.” Su Shaoying said lightly.

Lu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, “You actually thought about it so much?”

“So I am the heir to the head of Emei, and you are just a gangster.” Su Shaoying said.

Lu Xiaofeng curled her lips, “I’d rather just be a gangster!”

 …

At the same time, Ximen Chuixue, who had stopped Ye Gucheng, suddenly said, “Are you learning swordsmanship?”

Ye Gucheng’s heart sank to the bottom, but he also calmed down at the same time, “I am the sword.” “Do you know the essence of the sword?” Ximen Chuixue asked.

“you say.”

“It’s all about sincerity.” Ximen Chuixue said, “Only with sincerity can one reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Those who are dishonest are not worth mentioning.”

Ximen Chuixue stared at Ye Gucheng, “You are not sincere.”

Ye Gucheng was silent for a long time. He did not directly answer Ximen Chuixue’s words. Instead, he asked the same question, “Do you learn swordsmanship?”

Ximen Chuixue said calmly, “There is no end to learning, and there is no end to learning swordsmanship.”

Ye Gucheng said, “Since you learn swordsmanship, you should know that those who learn swordsmanship only need to be sincere to the sword, not to others.”

Su Shaoying nodded. Ye Gucheng not only surpassed Guo Songyang in swordsmanship, but his realm was also far higher than Lu Fengxian. Even in such an unfavorable situation, his state of mind was not really affected.

And when Ye Gucheng said his definition of swords and sincerity, Ximen Chuixue did not answer the words because he had already finished his words.

The end of the road is the end of the world, and the end of the word is the sword.

However, the Ouchi guards who were already frightened and wanted to counterattack did not give Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue a fair chance to fight. Dozens of swords, knives, and guns, with cold light shining, had already surrounded him.

 The next moment, the crowd moved aside, and Wei Ziyun appeared at the front of the guards with a cold sweat on his face.

“The Lord of Baiyun City.” Wei Ziyun didn’t understand. “The Lord of the City is far away in the sky, his sword is like a flying immortal, and his people are like flying immortals. Why would he debase himself to the mortal world and do such an unwise thing?”

Ye Gucheng said coldly, “You don’t understand.”

 Tu Fang stood behind Wei Ziyun, also covered in cold sweat, and said angrily, “We really don’t understand, but we do understand that the crime you committed is a serious crime that will cause death by a thousand cuts and implicate the nine clans!”

Ye Gucheng snorted without any fear, “You are not good at practicing swordsmanship, and you are not good at swordsmanship. If you dare to be rude to me, you will also commit a capital crime.”

“You!” Tu Fang was stunned and couldn’t figure it out. Ye Gucheng was already dead at this time, so why was he still so stubborn?

 So the furious Tu Fang was ready to take action against Ye Gucheng.

 But Ximen Chuixue suddenly said, “Wait a minute!”

Even at this time of fierce fighting, the protagonists of the scene were still Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, so Ximen Chuixue suddenly spoke up and instantly attracted everyone’s attention, and no one dared not listen to him.

 But Ximen Chuixue’s words exceeded everyone’s expectations, “If I join forces with Ye Gucheng’s swords, who in the world can resist?”

Wei Ziyun, Tu Fang, Yin Xian, and Ding Ao all had cold sweat on their faces.

If Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng were back to back, no one could hurt them before their strength declined, and if they wanted to break out, they could indeed break out of the palace.

Ximen Chuixue looked at Wei Ziyun, “Do you understand what I mean?”

Wei Ziyun immediately shook his head.

He understood in his heart, but he pretended not to understand, because he was not Ximen Chuixue. In addition to the title of Xiaoxiang Swordsman, he was also the leader of the four commanders of the imperial palace.

He must take down Ye Gucheng with his own hands before he can overcome the problem.

Now that this matter has become a big deal, even the emperor has been involved. If Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are still allowed to continue dueling, how will he explain it if the emperor pursues it?

 But Ximen Chuixue didn’t give him any time to hesitate.

“At this moment, I just want to fight Lord Ye. I don’t care about life, death, honor or disgrace.” Ximen Chuixue said lightly, “What joy is there in life, what fear is there in death? If you have a close friend, you will die without regrets.” , if you can get an opponent like Lord Baiyun, you will have no regrets in dying.”

Wei Ziyun said with difficulty, “Although I understand what you mean, I can’t help but…”

“Are you forcing me to accompany him to break out first and then fight in another place?” Ximen Chuixue asked.

Wei Ziyun really couldn’t answer, so he had to look back at Lu Xiaofeng and Gongsun Auntie. These two people had just saved the emperor and were qualified to speak at this time.

Aunt Gongsun didn’t say anything, but Lu Xiaofeng couldn’t help but sigh, “What are you waiting for?”

 Wei Ziyun couldn’t help but ask, “What are you waiting for?”

“You don’t even know how to write the word “profit” for fisherman’s profit, do you?” Lu Xiaofeng asked.

Wei Ziyun thought for a while, and it seemed that there was only one way left at this time. If Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng were really forced to join forces to break into the palace, then his guilt would be even greater.

 So this veteran swordsman also thought about it and simply fought to the end, “Since this battle is inevitable and will be famous throughout the ages, there should be no regrets.”

So, everyone returned to the top of the Forbidden City again.
