[Comprehensive] Our city lord is glamorous and noble

Chapter 78

Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are in Yingtian, but no one can find them.

It's a small courtyard, but it's very hidden.

But even if they don't go out, they know everything.

To be specific, Ye Gucheng knows everything.

When he was sitting in the courtyard, someone would deliver information to him. In the true sense, a scholar would know the affairs of the world without going out.

But he is not a scholar.

Ye Gucheng wondered, "Is it a treasure map again?"

Lang Yue said: "Yes."

After speaking, he handed the blueprint to Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng looked at it, and it was not quite the same as his treasure map, but it was not much different, but it was obvious that the location of the treasure had changed.

At least not in the Forbidden City.

Ye Gucheng said: "How did this come about?"

Lang Yue said: "Investigating."

She paused and continued: "But everyone in the Jianghu said that it was from Miss Zhang's hands."

But Ye Gucheng knew that this was a lie.

He looked at most of the map, and nothing changed, except for the location of the treasure, and the person who wanted to complete the map was also very clever. The only question was, what purpose did he have.

With the reputation of the sword ghost, this little thing was spread all over the world, and he didn't believe it if it had no purpose.

Lang Yue said: "There is one more thing."

Ye Gucheng said: "What."

Lang Yue said: "Someone is offering a reward of 1 taels in the Tianji Tower, and you need to know the whereabouts of City Lord Ye."

Ye Gucheng raised his brows and said, "A piece of news is worth 1 taels?"

He admired in his heart that he was so valuable.

After all, the bounty offered by the other party was not his life, but his whereabouts. If it wasn't for the wrong time, he would have wished to find someone to collect the bounty on purpose.

But Langyue's thinking was completely different from Ye Gucheng's. Her expression was heartbroken. Even if it was a reward, it shouldn't be so cheap. How could one of their city lord's whereabouts be worth only 1 taels.

One million taels will do!

Ye Gucheng said: "Do you know who is offering a reward to me?"

Lang Yue said: "The subordinates are investigating."

Ye Gucheng said: "Why?"

This Langyue knew it, but just because she knew it, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Langyue said: "There are rumors in the world that the city lord came to Yingtian for the treasure of the gold inlaid jade villa."

Ye Gucheng nodded after hearing this, it was all a matter of no shadow.

Langyue said again: "They also said that Zhang Wanrou must be seduced by her beauty, and the city lord will help her."

Ye Gucheng: Huh?

Speaking of this, Lang Yue was filled with righteous indignation, their city lord was so good-looking, and Zhang Wanrou was so mediocre, how could she have a crush on her!

Lang Yue said: "The legend of Jiang Hu, that Zhang Wanrou must have used some kind of trick to seduce the owner of Ximen and the owner of the city at the same time, that's why you appeared in Yingtian to help him."

As for Ximen Chuuxue, let alone, even though he did not lie to that woman, Sword Demon had challenged others before, and had never seen him make a move, so he came out at this juncture, and kept Zhang Wanrou alive.

Not to mention that she came to the door with Jin Jiuling's eyeballs later on, and was directly rescued by Ye Gucheng, which gave countless people in the rivers and lakes room to arrange.

Most people in this world rely on entertainment for food, especially this matter also involves two well-known swordsmen and a delicate beauty. Add oil and vinegar, and it will become a beautiful story.

Even those who have seen Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng know that this cannot be true.

Ye Gucheng listened, it was very strange, he never knew that a man with such a celestial spirit could become the center of Jianghu entertainment news, not only he was not angry but also very curious, he continued: "What else did they say."

Lang Yue said: "They also said that you and the owner of Ximen Villa have not come out recently because of Zhang Wanrou's big fight, which will hurt both of them."

This indirectly pushed up Zhang Wanrou's height, the original delicate beauty was blown to the top of the sky but not to the ground, there was a faint tendency to overwhelm the most beautiful woman in the world.

Ye Gucheng said: "Since I was injured in a fight with Ximen Chuuxue, why are you looking for me now?"

Lang Yue said: "Some people don't believe the authenticity of that treasure map, and want to ask the city lord to see the torn half."

Lang Yue paused and said, "They feel that since the city lord is injured, his martial arts should not be as strong as before."

Ye Gucheng's expression is subtle, so everyone in Jianghu is sure that he is injured?

What logic is this.

He thought about it, and felt that the logic was quite correct. After all, before the Forbidden Top, people in the world all said that Ye Gucheng was seriously injured and poisoned by the Tang Sect because he molested the Tang Sect's wife.

In Jianghu, it is not uncommon for a man to molest a woman or for her husband to chase and kill another person because of wearing a cuckold.

Just like Zhang Wanrou, because she is a delicate woman, she can attract two swordsmen, so she naturally uses her body to seduce.

It's not the truth of the truth.

Ye Gucheng said: "So the whole Jianghu is not only looking for the treasure map, but also looking for me?"

Lang Yue said: "Yes."

Ye Gucheng smiled, very nicely and mockingly.

He said: "Since these people are looking for me, of course we must give them a chance."

Huamanlou arrived in Yingtian.

He came all the way from the south of the Yangtze River, so he naturally wanted to meet his friends in Yingtian. .

Although Hua Manlou is a very gentle person, he doesn't have many friends.

Because he is blind.

How many people in this world can treat a blind man like a normal person?

But when he sat in the tavern, no one thought he was blind.

Because he can avoid all people, all tables, chairs, enter the lobby on the first floor like a normal person, and sit precisely in his own position.

Wearing a moon white gown, the scenery is like the moon.

There is a faint fragrance around me, which is the fragrance of flowers.

Suddenly, Hua Manlou raised his head, because he smelled a stronger fragrance.

It also smells like flowers.

The first ones came in were four young girls, all dressed in white, delicate and cute, with a small basket in their hands.

The baskets are filled with petals of various colors, and the fragrance of flowers blooms in the restaurant at once.

Both the shopkeeper and the drinkers seemed to be stunned, and the chopsticks stopped in mid-air, speechless.

Such a grand occasion, who is it?

It was not lunch time at this time, and there were not many people in the restaurant. Only those who had nothing to do to drink in the afternoon could see this magnificent scene.

Unless it is a fairy concubine descending to earth, who would use so many flowers?

Petals can even be woven into a carpet.

People enter through the door.

Not a fairy concubine, but a man.

But he is a fairy-like man.

Those who could see were all stunned in place, not daring to leave, and unable to stay.

Hua Manlou showed a smile, but there was a little bit of doubt in that smile, because he knew that Ye Gucheng was not a person who liked ostentation very much.

His nose is very sensitive, so he knows how many flowers and how many petals there are here without using his eyes. This doesn't seem to be something Ye Gucheng would do.

What he does always has his own purpose.

Hua Manlou didn't know how pale Ye Gucheng's face was now, it wasn't the color his skin should have, but the paleness that would result from excessive blood loss or unhealed serious injuries.

The eyes of the Jianghu people who were in the crowd flashed. Could it be that the rumors that Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue had a fight were not lies?

He snorted disdainfully, I am afraid that the petals here are not only for ostentation, but also to cover up the smell of blood.

He couldn't help feeling a little elated when he thought of this, Ye Gucheng never thought that not only could he not deceive others, but he was also found out.

Ye Gucheng: Hehe.

It's fools like you who lied.

His appearance confirmed the fact that he and Ximen Chuuxue had fought over a woman. I am afraid that Zhang Wanrou will be rumored to be someone like Su Daji.

If there is a list of celebrities in the world, even if she no longer uses a sword, she can still be on the list because of her beauty.

Hua Manlou said: "City Master Ye."

His smile is warm, like a ray of sunshine in spring.

But Ye Gucheng clearly saw the doubt in his smile.

There was no one around, and the nearest ones were a few meters away from him and Hua Manlou. If they really talked, no one would be able to hear them.

Ye Gucheng said: "It's inconvenient to travel, Qitong forgive me."

The relationship between them seems to be getting closer. After all, the relationship between friends is getting closer through running-in time after time.

Hua Manlou is a smart man, he knew what Ye Gucheng was referring to when he heard Ye Gucheng's words. He came all the way from the south of the Yangtze River, so don't listen to too many rumors on the way. With Ximen Chuuxue, it's awkward to listen to.

Hua Manlou thought, those people must have never seen Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue to make up things. If they saw them, they would know that these two men were born insulated from love.

Hua Manlou said: "Since that's the case, why did City Lord Ye come out?"

Ye Gucheng said: "My friend has come from afar, so I can't see you."

What's more, he came out specially, isn't it just for some people to see?

Ye Gucheng didn't believe that someone offered him a reward just to see the original treasure map, that was just an excuse.

Although he thinks that he has a good relationship with others, let's see what kind of people are in Yingtian.

Jade Rakshasa, Gong Jiu, Nan Wang, and Little Emperor.

Leaving aside the last one, the Ninety-five Supreme Beings, how could they pay attention to these mountain grasslanders after entering the Forbidden City?But the first three had to be guarded against.

Especially Gong Jiu and Nan Wang, the purpose of these two people's appearance before is obvious, that is to kill Ye Gucheng.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer.

Come and get it if you want it.

He wants to see what these royal relatives are going to do.

Anyway, he has been involved in it, and he is already mentally prepared that he will definitely not die well.

Because Ye Gucheng knew that someone was playing a big game of chess.

Hua Manlou said: "It is true."

Ye Gucheng said: "Why are you coming back to the capital?"

Of course he wouldn't call people to the capital when he had nothing to do, and he didn't have such a lot of energy, so Huamanlou just dropped by.

Hua Manlou said: "It's just a message for father."

Ye Gucheng didn't speak.

Hua Manlou said again: "Father also asked me to ask, there is still a few thousand mu of land near Zhuji, does City Lord Ye need it?"

Who is Ye Gucheng and the Jiangnan Hua family have a very good relationship now, and they also show a desire for land. If there is any business, the Hua family will think of Ye Gucheng to help him fight for it.

Sure enough, Ye Gucheng's eyes lit up at that time and said: "Of course I want it. After a while, I will definitely come to visit in person."

Hua Manlou teased and said, "City Master Ye's family has a great career, why did you come to the capital to find some treasure?"

Ye Gucheng laughed: "Of course it's impossible."

He said: "It's just a rumor in the rivers and lakes, it can't be true."

Hua Manlou said: "I knew it."

Although Ye Gucheng's property cannot be said to be incomparably rich, it is not much worse than that of the Jiangnan Hua family.

Jiangnan Huajia claims to have the most land in the world. Although the Gold Inlaid Jade Villa used to be the number one villa in the world, it is much worse than Jiangnan Huajia.

Baiyun City, that is very rich.

So how could Hua Manlou believe that Ye Gucheng came here for the treasure map.

His own property can buy ten gold inlaid jade villas.

Hua Manlou said: "I think the whole world is boiling over a treasure map, which is extremely rare."

Ye Gucheng smiled and said, "It's normal for the treasure map to be born."

He continued: "But I don't know if it's real or not. If the bamboo basket fetches water in vain, it won't be beautiful."

Huamanlou didn't speak, just smiled.

Between smart people and smart people, there is never need to explain clearly.

Both of them sat upright and smiled, as if they didn't see a sharp light that suddenly appeared behind them.

Hua ManLou can't see it, but can't he hear the voice of Ruiqi Breaking the Sky?

Quiet Mimi stared at Ye Gucheng's table and all the people turned pale in shock, where did this hidden weapon come from!

Ye Gucheng didn't even move, he didn't even draw his sword, but used the wooden chopsticks in his hand to firmly clamp the hidden weapon.

Ye Gucheng said slowly: "This unparalleled weapon in the world is the top three hidden weapons on the hidden weapon spectrum. It seems that there are only Peacock Ling and Tangmen's Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle on it."

Huamanlou said: "I would like to hear the details."

Ye Gucheng said: "Because this kind of hidden weapon, once it is thrown out, there is no room to stop it."

Ye Gucheng said again: "If you use a weapon to chop a needle-like pipe in half, even if it leaks even a little bit, the poisonous gas inside will leak out, enough to put a hundred strong men in it."

Hua Manlou said: "What if I dodge?"

Ye Gucheng said: "If the pointed tip touches the ground or the flesh, it will also trigger the mechanism."

Hua Manlou said: "Is there no solution?"

Ye Gucheng said: "Shouldn't it be resolved now?"

With a pair of chopsticks, you can stop the third hidden weapon in the world, who else can do it except Ye Gucheng?

But it was also obvious that someone here was desperate to kill him.

Why should he die?Ye Gucheng was actually very puzzled, but in this world, if you want another person to die, it is a very normal thing.

Killing is the same as saving people, no reason is needed.

Ye Gucheng took out a small box from his sleeve and put the hidden weapon in it, but it was not obvious from his actions that this small tube could kill a person.

An empty door appeared behind him, and the assassin who threw the hidden weapon rushed forward with a sharp knife regardless of Sanqi 21.

Hua Manlou smiled helplessly. Although he has a good temper, do these people think he is dead?

With a flick of Liu Yunfei's sleeve, he actually took him a few meters away.

There was no need for Ye Gucheng to do anything at all, someone followed up outside, a steel whip was thrown from the outside, and the assassin was tied up and knocked heavily on the ground. Armed, ready to charge.

A soft female voice said: "Do you think I'm dead?"

A soft whip came in from the door. Although it was not as fast as the steel whip, it was very long and very soft. If you looked carefully, you could see the steel wires and iron hooks twisted on the whip.

It's hard to say which whip is scarier and feels worse.

Two people strode in from outside the door, Ding Qingzhu and his younger sister Ding Duxiu.

Both of them looked very weak, but their skills as guards were needless to say.

All the people in the restaurant have already run around, since the two assassins started fighting desperately, now apart from the assassins, there are only people from Baiyun City and Huamanlou.

Hua Manlou said: "Master Ye already knew?"

Ye Gucheng said: "Not really."

He said: "I just think that since someone has spent a lot of time looking for my trace, there must be a trick."

They are even willing to spend 1 taels to buy his whereabouts, why can't they spend 10 taels to 20 taels to buy his life?

Ye Gucheng has long recognized that the two assassins captured by Ding Ding Duxiu are well-known in the world.

Relying on a hidden weapon that no one can dodge, in just half a year, 37 people have died under their hands.

These 37 people are all good players who are one in a million.

As for those who were accidentally injured, there were countless.

Hua Manlou's expression became very serious: "In Yingtian City, someone wants to kill City Lord Ye."

Ye Gucheng said: "It should be so."

Hua Manlou said, "Who is it?"

Ye Gucheng said, "I don't know."

If he knew, could he still be allowed to live comfortably?

Hua Manlou said: "Castle Master Ruoye, if you can use me, please feel free to tell me."

Ye Gucheng shook his head: "This time there was an assassin during our meeting, I was already uneasy, and I will definitely not let Qitong see this scene next time."

He didn't know that the man wanted him to die so urgently, otherwise Ye Gucheng wouldn't really meet Huamanlou.

Although I know that Huamanlou is very strong, but I should never drag others into my own disputes.

Even if he really didn't know who was staring at him suddenly at this juncture.

Obviously he didn't do anything right?

There was another jingle and clang in the Nanwang Mansion, accompanied by the sound of various porcelain being smashed.

Nan Wang said harshly, "He didn't die?"

The steward bowed his head and knelt on the ground.

Nan Wang swept the teacups on the table and said, "Trash!"

The steward thought it wasn't him who killed people, how could he be blamed if he didn't die?

In particular, anyone with a little brain knows that it is almost impossible to kill Ye Gucheng.

But Nan Wang didn't care, during this period of time, his temper became more and more serious, and he couldn't even maintain his generous mask, but when he saw the little emperor, he had to greet him with a smile, all his temper could only be vented to his subordinates.

Nan Wang said: "If you look for someone again, you must get rid of him."

His chest heaved violently, rippling with hatred for Ye Gucheng.

Why does he hate Ye Gucheng so much?Because Nan Wang has already pushed all the treasure maps circulating in the market to Ye Gucheng.

He doesn't think that Sword Demon has the ability to make such a picture, because he is just a little-known person, most likely Ye Gucheng, who holds half of the picture, drew most of the picture himself, trying to trick him.

As for the reason, needless to say?The enmity between him and Baiyun city lord had already reached the point where the two parties could not stop dying.

Ye Gucheng:? ? ?

Not sure what you're talking about.

Although Ye Gucheng had long forgotten King Nan, the other party really took him to heart, and even put Ye Gucheng, who had repeatedly ruined his good deeds, among the hostile characters because of his disregard for the little emperor. The first one.

He thought, the other party always seemed to know a lot of things that he shouldn't know, and always exposed his schemes, why he came to Yingtian for Zhang Wanrou, he didn't believe it at all.

Nan Wang felt that Ye Gucheng's last appearance was premeditated, just to trick him.

In his heart, the image of Baiyun City Lord has long been demonized.

There was no other way, after all, whether it was Jiang Ruhua's death or Nan Wang's failure to assassinate the little emperor, it seemed to have a lot to do with Ye Gucheng.

Nan Wang said: "No, I must want him to die. If I don't die, I will have trouble sleeping and eating all day."

He said: "To find the assassin again, any amount of money will do, as long as Ye Gucheng dies."

The steward said: "But..."

Nan Wang said: "But?"

The steward said: "Since Brother Shuangsha failed, it may be difficult to find an assassin who is willing to attack him."

Nan Wangdao: "Money can make ghosts turn the mill, do you still need me to teach you this truth?"

There were beads of sweat on the tip of the steward's nose, he said, "Why don't you let the recruited master go?"

Nanwang vetoed: "No."

The steward was very helpless, he really felt that the master that the prince spent a lot of money to recruit should be the most suitable assassin.

After all, it was 30 taels of silver. It was spent, but the people were useless. It's strange to think about it.

But I don't know what Nan Wang is thinking, no matter how well the manager understands the matter, he will move it with emotion and reason, but he just disagrees, as if the recruited master will only feel at ease if he stands behind him.

Nan Wang said: "If he leaves, who will protect me and my son?"

He said, "Do you want us to die?"

The scolding was so severe that most of the manager's life was lost, his forehead was pounding on the brick floor, and he hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

Nan Wang said: "Forget it, hurry up and find some assassins."

He said: "Before the big plan is implemented, I must see that the child is dead."

The attitude is also very firm.

But in this world, not everything goes as expected.

Like money doesn't solve everything.

The steward agreed, and wanted to back away at that time, but he didn't expect that Nan Wang hadn't spoken yet.

His brows and eyes were stained with unresolved anxiety, Nan Wang said: "How is the yard where my son is now?"

The steward's expression suddenly became very complicated: "The prince has already left, but the things in the courtyard cannot be taken away for a while."

Nan Wang said: "Can you take it away?"

The steward said: "It seems that people from the Jianghu have discovered there."

There was only one copy of the treasure map at the beginning, but after it was transcribed, it became divided into many parts. I don't know who contributed to the legend of the Golden Inlaid Jade Villa, but people rushed towards the small courtyard from all directions.

Nan Wang said: "No."

He said: "The things inside are very precious, and there must be no less."

The steward smiled wryly, "Yes."

He doesn't know the spells of heaven and earth in his sleeve, how could it be possible that Nan Wang said that there must be no less and no less?

It's hard for the strong.

After Ye Gucheng pulled a wave of hatred in front of him, and verified that he had indeed fought with Ximen Chuuxue, he finally returned to the small courtyard.

As soon as he entered the yard, he felt a chilling murderous aura, but he didn't care because Ye Gucheng knew that the source of the murderous aura was Ximen Chuuxue.

His murderous intent was not aimed at anyone, but only at Gong Jiu who was about to face off.

If his opponent had been anyone else, Ximen Chuuxue would not be what he is now, he must have bathed and burned incense, and then asked a few prostitutes from Mingdong to trim his toenails.

But Sword Demon didn't get this kind of treatment, whenever he thought of him, Ximen Chuuxue felt like vomiting.

Such a person is not worthy of Ximen Chuuxue treating each other with a sincere heart.

All he left to the other party was murderous intent.

There are personal matters, Ximen Chuuxue is practicing sword with murderous intent, but Lu Xiaofeng cannot live under his murderous intent every day.

He is a very open-minded person, although the friendship with Jin Jiuling is very deep, but there are a lot of evidence that he is the embroidery thief, even Lu Xiaofeng can't criticize Zhang Wanrou's behavior.

He has many shortcomings, but there is only one advantage that no one can criticize.

Lu Xiaofeng's three views are very upright.

It is the righteousness of the heroes of the rivers and lakes.

This means that he is able to view grievances impartially without asking for forgiveness.

If a person does something wrong, he has to pay the price. If he doesn't pay the price now, it doesn't mean that his mistakes can be covered up.

On the first day of Lu Xiaofeng's murder, he and Zhu Ting drank alcohol for a whole day, and then welcomed the second day with full of energy.

Because from the moment he killed someone, he realized a truth, the murderer always kills.

Whenever he died, no one else could be blamed.

That's why we have to live better.

Lu Xiaofeng saw Ye Gucheng, he had been going out from time to time recently, and he also knew a lot of information, including Ximen Chuuxue, Ye Gucheng's Zhang Wanrou's love triangle, and that strange map.

Ye Gucheng didn't hide this matter from him, especially Ximen Chuuxue's state already explained everything, the treasure map clearly marked the top of the Forbidden City, that was the place where he confronted the sword ghost.

What about the fake treasure map?

Lu Xiaofeng said: "This is definitely wrong."

Ye Gucheng listened attentively.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Besides the Sword Demon, there should be a third force."

Not even the third strand, but the fourth strand.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know what kind of relationship that person has with Sword Demon and what purpose he has."

His curiosity has always been abundant, and he also has a great desire to explore the mystery. Lu Xiaofeng must not allow himself to live in a daze, especially now that he is right in the middle of the mystery.

So he made a decision.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm going to see what's in this treasure map."

He raised his hand, it was the current version of the treasure map in the rivers and lakes.

Ye Gucheng said coldly: "If you are interested, just go by yourself."

He said again: "I'm afraid of getting into some trouble, and I won't be able to come back after I go."

Lu Xiaofeng shyly said: "Isn't there still you?"

It was as if as long as Ye Gucheng was around, no matter how he tried to die, someone could help him.

Ye Gucheng shook his head: "Follow you."

But the wrinkles between his brows have disappeared a lot.

That's about it for friendship.

Trust, and be trusted.

Ye Gucheng had to admit that it felt good to be a trusted person.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "If I don't come back within ten days, please go find me."

The battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Sword Demon will take place [-] days later, Lu Xiaofeng must watch this battle.

Ye Gucheng said: "Okay."

Having said this, it seems that Lu Xiaofeng wants to bid farewell to Ye Gucheng.

But at this time, Lanfeng suddenly appeared from nowhere, and brought Ye Gucheng a lot of information.

Lan Feng said: "Brother Shuangsha has already recruited."

Before Ye Gucheng could speak, Lu Xiaofeng heard him.

He asked in surprise, "Brother Shuangsha?"

This is a well-known assassin in Jianghu.

He said: "They came to assassinate you?" He didn't even know about it.

Ye Gucheng sneered and said: "Whoever they are brothers, if they come to assassinate, they will naturally go and never return."

Lu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, as if it was true.

Listening to Lan Feng's words, everyone seems to have been caught.

Ye Gucheng said: "How to say?"

It was said to Lan Feng.

Lan Feng said: "The man belongs to the Nanwang Mansion."

Ye Gucheng said: "Oh?"

Lan Feng said: "It should be Nan Wang's steward."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng was terrified, it was Nan Wang again, what kind of enmity is there between Nan Wang and Ye Gucheng.

Moreover, since the Shuangsha brothers are well-known assassins in the world, how could they betray their customers?

How cruel were they tortured?

Ye Gucheng said: "I can guess it."

Lan Feng said: "There is one more thing."

Ye Gucheng said: "Say."

Lan Feng said: "The treasure map circulated in the rivers and lakes, the location of the treasure is not quite right."

Ye Gucheng said: "Something is wrong."

Lan Feng said: "I heard that a spy saw that people from the Nanwang Mansion had entered and exited."

Those Jianghu people don't have such a detailed map of Gyeonggi as Ye Gucheng, and it takes a while to find the place. Unlike him, he is fast and ruthless.

Ye Gucheng said: "Oh?"

Ye Gucheng laughed again, which is interesting.

He turned back to Lu Xiaofeng and said, "You don't have to tell me your last words."

"I will go with you."
