[Comprehensive] Our city lord is glamorous and noble

Chapter 65

silence.

Eerie silence.

Not even the pigeon was cooing.

Lu Xiaofeng was the first to break the silence. He looked at the ordinary pigeon and said, "Why doesn't it chirp?"

Zhang Wanrou almost stared at Lu Xiaofeng with a very frightened and surprised look.

When is it, and you are still managing a pigeon?

Because of Lu Xiaofeng's words, Ye Gucheng also looked back at the pigeon.

He considers himself a very caring person for animals, especially for pigeons.

He didn't even think about how many pigeons in Baiyun City he had fed himself.

The fat pigeon of Baiyun City: Quack.

Obviously we squawk like ducks.

He suddenly remembered that even if Ximen Chuuxue noticed the noise just now, the pigeon didn't seem to call, but his body kept hitting the doors and windows.

This is very strange, because in Ye Gucheng's cognition, most animals like to call.

Even more so are the duck-like pigeons in their city.

It's really rare that you would rather hurt yourself than make a sound.

Maybe it was specially trained?But who would train a pigeon like this?

Ye Gucheng stood up, walked to the side of the gray pigeon, and touched the other's soft feathers with his fingers.

Even in a world of ice and snow, its body is warm.

His eyes darkened. How warm are pigeons?

City Lord Ye is a man who loves small animals, and he smoothed the pigeon's feathers into obedience in two or three strokes, but it hadn't made a "grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".

This explains the problem very well, because City Master Ye is very sure about his craftsmanship, even his uncle Pigeon will "quack quack" when he feels comfortable.

Smart as a cat.

He came to a conclusion, a conclusion that did not please him very much.

Ye Gucheng said: "The pigeons have been specially trained."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Training? What training?"

The only thing he knows about training pigeons is to spread the word across thousands of miles.

But obviously, what Ye Gucheng said was not this.

Ye Gucheng said: "It doesn't know how to bark."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why don't the pigeons crow?"

Ye Gucheng said: "If you have a thousand pigeons and kill one of them every time they call, then the rest will naturally not call."

His words were so cold that both Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wanrou shuddered.

Can someone really tame pigeons like this?

Just because the other party can call?

If someone is like this, he must be a very cruel and terrifying person.

Lu Xiaofeng was silent for a while and said again: "What was written on the note?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "It's a battle."

He handed the note to Ye Gucheng who was closest to him.

Zhang Wanrou, the person involved, was perfectly ignored.

As the only woman present, it was also very bleak.

She was abruptly separated.

This is the path Zhang Wanrou chose, since she has already decided not to be a swordsman, this engagement has nothing to do with her at all.

But even though he knew it in his heart, he was still a little unwilling, his eyes were not evasive, but he was not full of firm expectations for the future, his eyes were full of struggle and hesitation about the future, his teeth were grinding heavily on his lips, Almost tore her lips.

What will you write about the sword ghost's appointment?

Not out of concern for Zhang Wanrou's mood, Ye Gucheng read the content out.

He said: "January [-]th, the summit of Zijin."

Purple and Gold Peak?

When he saw the name, he was taken aback for a moment, because the location really reminded him of some bad associations, but after a closer look, it was not the same name.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Purple Gold Peak?"

The eyeballs rolled and said: "Could it be the Zijin Mountain of Yingtian?"

Ye Gucheng said: "It should be."

It is Zijin, not Forbidden City.

Before and after the decisive battle, Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng's appointment battle location was also at the top of the Purple Gold, but it was temporarily changed to the top of the Forbidden City in the Hall of Supreme Harmony because Sun Xiuqing was about to give birth.

Such a familiar name still made him feel very bad.

There are some laws in the dark, and the Lord of Life is destined to have some places that cannot be easily ignored.

Ye Gucheng thought, not only can't be easily ignored, but more and more troublesome things entangled him.

He really doubted whether he was the legend of Lu Xiaofeng or not.

We're going to change the name to Legend of Ye Gucheng, okay?

Lu Xiaofeng said again: "January [-]th is really not a good day."

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone was supposed to be reunited at home, but he chose to make an appointment to fight. Maybe he deliberately made people die at the very beginning of the year?

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is he also making appointments like this on weekdays?"

Apart from Zhang Wanrou, none of the people present were familiar with Sword Demon, not to mention that he had the ability to send letters to Wanmei Villa, which already explained a lot of problems.

But Lu Xiaofeng didn't know, but Zhang Wanrou knew, probably in this world, no one knows the sword ghost better than her.

It is often not his friends who know a person best, but his enemies.

Zhang Wanrou's face was still very ugly, she didn't get out of the huge blow, she paused for a moment before saying: "No, he has never made such an appointment before."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What does he usually do?"

Zhang Wanju said: "The locations are determined by the heroes on the sword manual."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "How to let him know."

Zhang Wanju said: "I don't know what channel he used to always find the residence of the hero in the sword manual."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then come to the door in person?"

Zhang Wanrou shook her head and said, "No."

She said: "Sword Ghost will release his carrier pigeon."

The bamboo tube of the carrier pigeon is not empty, but there are only invitations in black and white, and there are such words as the place and time to be determined by others.

For that person, when and where to make an appointment for a fight is not a problem.

All he cared about was the moment when the blood flower bloomed on the tip of the sword.

Zhang Wanju said: "Enclose the time and place in the bamboo tube of the carrier pigeon, and it will be sent to the sword ghost."

She has already figured out the behavior of the other party.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then why did he write the time and place together this time?"

Zhang Wanju said: "I don't know."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you know why he found you in Wanmei Villa?"

Zhang Wanrou's face turned paler.

Because she already had some kind of terrible guess.

Zhang Wanju said: "I don't know."

She said again: "In the world of ice and snow, can someone follow me?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Maybe."

He said: "The sword ghost is not a real ghost, he is a human being, and if he is a human being, he will not know where you want to go."

Zhang Wanju said: "I haven't told anyone that I'm coming to Wanmei Villa."

She is a very active woman, from decision to implementation, the process took less than half a day, not to mention, even if she was found to go to Saibei, few people would think that she was going to Wanmei Villa.

She may have other business, may have other places to go, it is very likely.

The only impossible thing to do is to find Ximen Chuuxue.

How is a swordsman looking for Ximen Chuuxue different from looking for death?

Qing Hongjian is a smart woman, she can't seek death rashly.

Therefore, no one would guess that she came to find Ximen Chuuxue.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "There is another possibility."

Zhang Wanju said: "What."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Sword Demon, or his eyes and ears, are near here."

Only by following Zhang Wanrou can I find the place.

Ximen Chuuxue heard Lu Xiaofeng's reasoning and pushed the door open.

Yu Bo waited outside the door with his hands down.

Ximen Chuixue said, "See if there is anyone around."

Yu Bo said: "Yes."

It's so cold that even people can't run far.

The entire Saibei Wanmei Villa is under Ximen Chuuxue's nose.

Ye Gucheng suddenly said: "You can reply."

He reached out and wiped the ink on the note.

Ye Gucheng said: "This ink is still very fresh."

He seems to have a lot of extra knowledge, which can help Ye Gucheng at critical moments.

It seems that since the arrival of this strange pigeon, he has been in a strange sense of anxiety. Perhaps the word "Purple Gold Peak" stimulated the nerves of City Lord Ye, and he had an intuition that something was wrong.

Ye Gucheng said: "The freshness of the ink proves that this note was written just now."

He said: "If it was written just now, the person who wrote it should be near here."

When the pigeon replies, nine times out of ten it will return to the writer. In this case, as long as you follow the pigeon, you can find the person.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Good idea."

Pigeons fly very fast, but top players can catch up with pigeons with light work.

Zhang Wanrou took the note, her fingers trembling nervously.

The note was very light, but it was heavy to her, and the fear in her heart suddenly magnified at a certain moment.

The thought of someone following her from Jiangnan to Saibei, with a pair of eyes staring at her motionlessly, made me want to vomit.

His stomach was convulsing, his face was turning blue, and his lips were trembling uncontrollably.

It's so disgusting.

Lu Xiaofeng handed the paper in front of her, even if he felt pity and pity, he wouldn't show it now, because they had more important things to do.

It had to be said that the sword ghost had caught their attention.

Lu Xiaofeng had to sigh, as if as long as the three of them were together, they wouldn't be too safe, no, it should be said that as long as he could see City Lord Ye, the other party would be dragged into all kinds of troubles.

This luck is really too bad.

Zhang Wanju said: "What?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "You have to reply."

Zhang Wanju said: "What to write."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "You can write anything."

Zhang Wanrou received a small note and said, "Should I refuse?"

She seemed to have left the matter to Lu Xiaofeng and the others to decide.

Although she is very strong and very mobile, she is also a woman. Not to mention a woman, even a man would be terrified if he knew that there were people silently following him from Jiangnan to Saibei without being discovered by him.

It was as if her fate was always in the hands of an unknown being, but she didn't feel anything.

Fear made Zhang Wanrou unable to think, she was almost lost in thought.

It will take time to restore the original mind.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "You can write like this."

Swordsmen can't avoid battles, but if they weren't swordsmen, they wouldn't have so many requirements.

Zhang Wanju said: "Okay."

Her handwriting is very delicate and beautiful, and it is the lower case script practiced by women. When the ink was dry and the paper was stuffed into the small bamboo tube, the pigeons flapped their wings and flew away.

Lu Xiaofeng immediately jumped up and jumped out of the window.

He was wearing a red cloak, but it didn't affect his actions.

Stepping on the snow is like a swallow flying up and down.

Ximen Chuuxue also followed out.

He seemed to be a little concerned about that sword ghost.

This is not difficult to understand. If a top swordsman sees an opponent who is similar to him, he will not pay attention.

Or, like Ye Gucheng, he had a vague premonition in his heart.

What premonition?Is it good or bad?

No one knew what Ximen Chuuxue was thinking.

Even Ye Gucheng didn't know what he was thinking.

But since Ximen Chuuxue and Lu Xiaofeng both ran out, he naturally wouldn't stop, but every step he took, Ye Gucheng's vigilance would rise a lot.

Pigeons are good pigeons. Even in the snowstorm, they fly very fast. They are not as good at lightness. They are definitely not as good as pigeons, but they are trivial to Ye Gucheng and the others.

Suddenly, the pigeon seemed to have received some order, and it swooped down like an eagle and plunged into the forest.

Behind Wanmei Villa, there is a forest. God knows why a lot of vegetation grows in such a harsh environment in Saibei.

Lu Xiaofeng seemed to be in a relationship with Pigeon Biao, seeing it swooping down, he accelerated his speed, wishing he could catch up immediately.

Ye Gucheng said: "Wait!"

The thick old tree suddenly fell down, right in front of Lu Xiaofeng.

The speed of the tree falling was too fast, the timing was too coincidental, not to mention that there was no human presence around, if Lu Xiaofeng's ladder cloud hadn't appeared, he might have been crushed under the tree and the snow on it.

In winter with goose feather snow, the trees are almost covered by snow. When the trees are tilted, the first thing that falls is always a large amount of snow.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's broken."

Trees can't hurt people, but snow can block sight.

The gray and white of the pigeon's fur, once it leaves people's sight, it is not easy to find it again.

Ye Gucheng said: "I'll go behind the tree and have a look."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then I'll continue to look for the pigeons."

Ximen Chuuxue said: "I am with City Lord Ye."

The sudden fall of the tall tree was definitely not accidental, but the three people present were all top experts, but they didn't notice anyone approaching. If it wasn't for the other party's good hiding skills or high strength, it was only because he didn't get close.

Is it possible to cut down a thick tree without getting close?

Ye Gucheng came to the side of the tree after a few ups and downs.

There is only a bare wooden plinth.

He reached out and wiped the wooden pier, it was very smooth, as if it had been cut off by some sharp weapon.

But besides a saber, what else can cut such a thick tree?Not to mention in an instant.

Have.

Ye Gucheng thought in his heart.

Sword Qi.

How many people in this world can emit sword energy?

Ye Gucheng counts as one, and Yu Luocha definitely counts as one.

He stopped talking, just looked up and looked at Ximen Chuuxue.

Ximen Chuuxue's expression was not very good, since Ye Gucheng could think of it, how could he not think of it?

Since the fight against Wudang Mountain, he hadn't had a good look towards Yu Luocha for more than half a year. Fortunately, the other party was probably self-aware, so he didn't wander around in front of Ximen Chuuxue every now and then.

Thinking about the cleansing of the Western Devil's Cult, he should be busy with a lot of things as the leader.

Whether it was Yu Luocha who did it, I really don't know.

Ximen Chuixue said: "This incision was caused by sword energy."

Ye Gucheng said: "Yes."

Ye Gucheng said again: "It's not just ordinary sword energy, only those who are familiar with how to release sword energy can cut down thick trees."

Ximen Chuixue said: "City Master Ye can do it."

Ye Gucheng said: "I can't."

He said: "I still can't control the sword energy like my own hands and feet."

Ximen Chuuxue's face became even more ugly. How many swordsmen are stronger than Ye Gucheng in this world?

Some thoughts could not be stopped as soon as they started, and he thought a lot more in an instant, such as his father's strange interest in City Lord Ye, and even doing such ridiculous things as kidnapping the other party's subordinates.

Ximen Chuuxue didn't know where his father's inexplicable interest came from, he did many things for no reason.

Could this be one of the unreasonable things he did?

Ximen Chuixue said: "Wait for me to go back and ask."

The cold air on his body was stronger than the cold wind in winter.

Ye Gucheng: Oh, Huh.

#Father and son against each other why#

#The enemy is still father and son#

#On that crazy father who keeps dragging me down#

His whole body was shocked, and he quickly shook his head to get rid of the strange questions flooding into his mind.

Ximen Chuixue said, "Master Ye?"

Ye Gucheng said: "Nothing."

Kind of embarrassing.

Lu Xiaofeng shivered in the cold wind.

His footsteps began to become heavy, because this is Saibei.

How difficult it is to find a pigeon in the snow.

But no matter how difficult it was, he didn't want to give up.

Lu Xiaofeng believed in his own intuition very much, even though he was plagued by many troubles, he was still alive and kicking, not only because of his brain and martial arts, but also because of his amazing intuition.

Just like now, he feels that he cannot let go of that pigeon.

He had a vague premonition, as if since Zhang Wanrou appeared, he, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue had entered into a huge conspiracy.

What that conspiracy was, he didn't know at the time.

It's just that Lu Xiaofeng knew that the Sword Demon who challenged Zhang Wanrou was very problematic, and even his way of sending messages, his pigeons were also very problematic.

In judging the case, although Lu Xiaofeng was born in Yeluzi, his professionalism was comparable to that of Jin Jiuling.

He knew that he should not let go of any clue.

Lu Xiaofeng: "Huh?"

He stepped on a branch and stopped.

Just now there seems to be a black spot flashing past?

In the vast white world, any strange color is enough to attract people's attention.

But when Lu Xiaofeng came down from mid-air and approached, his expression changed drastically.

That's not a black spot, it's a person.

A person who is already dead.

Lu Xiaofeng's expression was solemn, he was not afraid of corpses, because many people died every day in Jianghu, but this person was really too weird.

Pigeon.

He saw that the pigeon he was looking for just now was also beside him.

The pigeon also died, its neck was cut off, and it fell to the ground without a sound.

The only thing that disappeared was the bamboo tube on its feet.

When do people die?

Lu Xiaofeng squatted down.

There was heat from the body of the corpse, and the blood flowing out from under the body was still slowly soaking the ground. The other party's eyes were at a loss, and he probably didn't realize that he was going to die at the moment of death.

Lu Xiaofeng squeezed Xuexin and said: This person is dead.

He just died when he passed by.

But why didn't he see the person who did it when the person died?

Is the one who did it the same as the one who cut down the tree just now?

In just one breath, there are so many puzzles, even Lu Xiaofeng can't guess that things will develop like this.

Who is the dead person?

What is he here for?

Who killed him?

What is that man's offer note for?

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the bewildered young man as if he didn't know when he died, and smiled helplessly.

He stretched out his hand and closed his helpless eyes.

He also wanted to know what happened.

Zhang Wanrou exclaimed in shock: "Someone died?!"

Her tone was so unbelievable.

This seems normal, she chose to come to Wanmei Villa because she felt that Ximen Chuuxue's territory was like a castle, impregnable, but on the first day she arrived, someone died, how could this not shock her or fear her.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "He died in the woods outside Wanmei Villa."

Lu Xiaofeng said again: "Someone has already restrained himself, let's see if you recognize him."

Ximen Chuuxue didn't speak, and his body became even colder.

He died outside Wanmei Villa, where could he be happy as a master?

Ye Gucheng said in a deep voice, "How do people die?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "The sword fell into the chest and died."

Ye Gucheng said: "A sword again?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Not bad."

Ye Gucheng said: "What do you think of that man's sword?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I can't see it."

Lu Xiaofeng said again: "I only know that he must be very quick to draw the sword, otherwise that young man wouldn't wait until he died without realizing it."

He died suddenly.

Both Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue were lost in thought.

Ximen Chuuxue suddenly said: "It's not him."

He said this to Ye Gucheng, because only he and Ye Gucheng knew who the "he" in Ximen Chuuxue's words was.

Yu Luocha is the secret shared by Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng.

There are very few people in this world who use swords very quickly, and with the previous release of sword energy, it is easy to think of Jade Rakshasa who has these two characteristics at the same time.

He's a good fit for conspiracy theories.

But even if Ximen Chuuxue dislikes his elderly father, he still knows some things, such as how much Yu Luocha loves him.

It is possible for Yu Luocha to cheat anyone, but it is impossible to cheat Ximen Chuuxue. He also has a series of lofty expectations for his son, otherwise it would be impossible to build a Wanmei Villa in Saibei.

The purity of plum blossoms, the pride of plum blossoms, and the loneliness of plum blossoms are all his expectations for Ximen Chuuxue.

Wanmei Villa is a holy place, a holy place that should not be polluted by the secular world.

Therefore, Yu Luocha would not kill people near Wanmei Villa, and even left the body behind.

No matter how you do it, it is absolutely impossible for him to do it.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the two, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

What charades are they playing?

Seeing that Ximen Chuixue was determined, Ye Gucheng naturally believed in his judgment, but if Yu Luocha hadn't done it, things would have become even more confusing.

Besides Yu Luocha, who else in the world can freely retract and release sword energy?

Ye Gucheng suddenly thought, that's wrong.

If the person who uses the sword energy is different from the person who kills, is it possible?

Ye Gucheng said: "Who do you think the person who died was?"

He was asking Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "He is dressed in black clothes all over his body, and his face looks ordinary."

Lu Xiaofeng pondered: "I think it's a dead man."

Ye Gucheng said: "Dead man?"

There are not no dead men these days, but they are not common, because there are not many people who are able to support dead men.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Not bad."

He said: "Looking at his appearance, he is a good kungfu, but he can't find any characteristics of the sect."

The same is true for clothes, which seem to have deliberately erased all human characteristics.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "He may be a spy sent by Sword Demon."

The pigeon that couldn't call was released by the young man in black.

Lu Xiaofeng found the pen and ink on him, sometimes his nose is more sensitive than a dog's, so he could smell the same ink used on the letter paper as the ink on the young man's body.

From this point of view, there must be a constant connection between him and Sword Demon.

Ye Gucheng said again: "If he was a member of Sword Demon, he would be killed."

The timing was too coincidental, and the note that was taken away was also very strange.

What would be the use of the Yuezhan note if it was taken away by others?

Ye Gucheng thought that the note was ordinary, and didn't know what magical effect it would have.

Ye Gucheng said: "Is there anything else you haven't told us?"

The person he asked was Zhang Wanrou.

With too little information, even judgment becomes difficult.

Zhang Wanju said: "No."

She is very sure that she has told these people what she should know.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Could someone be staring at Sword Demon?"

Ye Gucheng said: "What?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole follows."

Ye Gucheng said: "You mean, there are other people besides the sword ghost?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Very likely."

But he didn't know who else was there.

Ximen Chuuxue quietly listened to their conversation without saying a word, then suddenly he opened the door again.

Yu Bo stood outside the door with his hands down.

Ximen Chuixue said, "How is it?"

Yu Bo said, "No one."

There was no one else besides the death that Lu Xiaofeng met.

But Yu Bo continued: "However, there are traces of people's activities in the forest."

Ximen Chuixue said, "How many people?"

Yu Bo said: "The snow is too heavy, and the traces are covered."

He added: "But from the old man's eyesight, there should be two people."

Although Yu Bo is old, his eyes are not cloudy, and his eyes are even more refined and radiant than those of ordinary young men.

Yu Bo didn't say why, but he definitely had his own reasons.

Ximen Chuuxue would believe Yu Bo's words without even asking him why.

Ximen Chuixue said: "There are two people."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "That's it."

One died and one escaped.

Zhang Wanrou suddenly asked: "Could it be a dog bites a dog?"

She finally wrenched herself out of her fear and began to take an active part in the discussion among the men.

She is not a dodder-like woman, but like a creeper, as long as there is enough water and soil, she can climb a whole house. The tenacity of vitality is rare in the world, and her heart is also tenacious.

She can choose and make the most appropriate decision, but she will never hand over all her wealth to others.

Since it is related to herself, why can't she speak?

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't think so."

Zhang Wanju said: "Why?"

Even brothers can turn against each other for things outside of themselves, why can't others.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because of pigeons."

Zhang Wanju said: "Pigeon."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "If that person can't even tolerate the mere sound of pigeons, he must be a person with a strong desire to control."

Even the nature of animals must be obliterated, let alone human beings?

He will never allow subordinates who make their own way to exist.

People who live under him must be more docile than pigeons who can't squawk.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "So there must be someone else who killed the man in black."

But now the problem seems to be coming again, they don't know why someone would do something to Sword Demon.

Is it his enemy?

But if he has just made a name for himself in the Jianghu, what kind of enemies will he have?

Ye Gucheng suddenly said: "Maybe it's not the enemy."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What do you mean?"

Ye Gucheng said: "Sword Ghost has become famous, and there are many people who want to step on his name."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "You mean someone is using him?"

Ye Gucheng said: "Maybe."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "How can you tell?"

Ye Gucheng said: "Wait."

Wait for the people behind the scenes to show their fox tails.

Listening to Ye Gucheng's words, Lu Xiaofeng could neither cry nor laugh.

There really doesn't seem to be any other way than to wait.

As the only man in the room who was sympathetic to beauty, he comforted Zhang Wanrou: "It's useless to be anxious now, but since it's in Wanmei Villa, it's always safe."

People will die outside, but not inside Wanmei Villa.

Zhang Wanju said: "I know."

She can't be anxious, she has to calm down.

Ximen Chuuxue suddenly said, "I'll go out for a while."

Ye Gucheng focused his attention on Ximen Chuuxue, he seemed to have been thinking or absent-minded just now.

Did Ximen Chuuxue discover something?

Thinking this way, Ye Gucheng looked behind him, and there was a window behind Ximen Chuuxue.

A window was ajar open.

Was that window opened just now?

Ye Gucheng is a little uncertain, it seems to be locked up tightly?

He couldn't help but look at Ximen Chuuxue again.

Seeing this, Ye Gucheng was almost taken aback.

Ximen Chuuxue turned his back to Lu Xiaofeng and the others, his face was terribly black.

What did he see?
