Chapter 195: Deep Brotherly Love! Ye Gucheng's Death!

When Chu Yang returned to the palace, Lu Xiaofeng also came back, looking very unhappy.

In the past few days, too many strange things happened in the capital.

Everything is pointing towards tonight's duel.

"Ye Gucheng is injured. He said he was hit by a hidden weapon, but he shouldn't be injured so easily, even if the other person is from the Tang Sect."

Lu Xiaofeng sat on the stone bench in the yard, biting her nails for the first time.

This is what he does when he's very anxious.

"Many people died, and they all died for no reason. The biggest thing they have in common is that they once met someone. It's more like silencing than murder."

"And this person..."

Having said this, Lu Xiaofeng looked at Chu Yang.

Chu Yang said speechlessly: "Look what I'm doing, it's not like they met me."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "My lord, do you know a general eunuch named Wang?"

Chu Yang nodded and said: "I know, when the late emperor was still alive, he was the Chief of Ceremonies and the eunuch. Later, he lost favor and was stepped on by Wei Zhongxian. The former little brother became the current eldest brother. Think about his life. I know it’s hard.”

Lu Xiaofeng blurted out, "Mr. Wang must have a lot of resentment towards the emperor, right?"

Chu Yang said meaningfully: "Not only the emperor, it should be said that he has great resentment towards the entire cold Forbidden City."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned and stopped talking.

Chu Yang smiled and said, "Chicken Lu, if you fart, just let it go, okay?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "The situation is complicated. Your Majesty, please be careful tonight. No one in the capital knows that you killed the Demon King. The palace will probably underestimate the enemy. This is the only advantage."

Chu Yang said nonchalantly: "So what if he knew? He packed all the masters in the world into the palace, and the result was the same."

The two sat in the courtyard and chatted for a while. The sky gradually darkened, and soon there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the palace.

The old housekeeper's voice suddenly sounded.

"Your Majesty, someone is coming from the palace."

Chu Yang and Lu Xiaofeng stood up at the same time.

Lu Xiaofeng breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "The Forbidden City will be very lively tonight."

…

The eunuchs carried Chu Yang into the palace on a luxurious sedan.

When passing by the palace gate, Chu Yang looked outside through the gap and found that many people had gathered here.

Although no one was carrying weapons, you could still feel a strong atmosphere of Jianghu.

There were also many forbidden troops patrolling around to prevent anyone from causing trouble. Each of them held a repeating crossbow in their hands, looking full of murderous intent in the bleak dark night.

The moment he passed through the palace gate, Chu Yang unexpectedly saw the figure of Bupleurum.

Why is he here?

Afterwards, Chu Yang felt relieved.

With Bupleurum's character, he would definitely not watch Guo Bujing die. He didn't express his position in the palace that day, probably because he was afraid that Guo Bujing would use strong methods to keep him there.

Looking at the honest guy, he has a lot of ideas, but also, if he can play with people like Sikong Zhaixing, he is still a great thief, and he is probably also a good person.

If you dare to intervene at this time, you can be called a strong-willed man.

Bupleurum stood silently in the crowd, watching Chu Yang enter the Forbidden City. Thinking of risking his life later, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Silly man, what are you doing here?"

Lu Xiaofeng appeared next to Bupleurum without any warning and patted him on the shoulder.

"Lu, you scared me to death!"

Buihu raised his hand and gave the person next to him an elbow.

Lu Xiaofeng held Bupleurum's arm and asked with a smile: "Are you coming to watch the duel between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng? Why don't you go in and watch?"

Bupleurum rolled her eyes at him, "Nonsense, I would have gone in long ago if I could."

Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously: "Aren't you also a member of the Imperial Guard? Don't you know him?"

Bupleurum said speechlessly: "I've only been here a few days, and I can't even recognize dogs, let alone people."

"Follow me!" Lu Xiaofeng looked at him with disgust at first, then smiled mysteriously and walked towards the palace gate in a swagger.

As expected, the guards stopped him.

He didn't waste any time. He took out a badge from his pocket and gave it a look to the guard.

A magical scene happened. The guard politely moved out of the way and let the two people in.

After passing the palace gate, Bupleurum asked in a low voice: "What is so useful?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Tickets."

Bupleurum asked curiously: "Who gave it to me?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly stopped and turned to look at Bupleurum, a worried look flashed between his eyebrows, "Do you know Wei Ziyun?"

Chaihu nodded, and a bold man with a beard flashed in his mind, and said: "Commander Wei is very generous. He often invites his brothers to drink. He is very famous in the Forbidden Army, but he does not like Master Guo."

Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously: "How do you say it?"

Chaihu continued: "Master Guo said that he seems to be an easy-going person, but in fact he is very utilitarian and has good abilities, but he is unstable and will get into trouble sooner or later..."

Lu Xiaofeng took a deep breath and then said no more. The uneasiness in his heart was like a wild horse running wild.

at the same time.

A dark cloud came from nowhere in the sky.

Completely block the moonlight.

The entire Forbidden City seemed to be covered by a curtain, so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

The sedan Chu Yang was riding in fell down.

The surroundings immediately became quiet.

Only the sound of wind came.

He opened the curtain and walked out. This place was neither the emperor's study nor an elegant garden, but a vast school ground.

This is where the emperor used to review the imperial guards!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground suddenly shook violently.

The sound of uniform footsteps.

The sound of fierce collision of armor.

It echoed clearly in Chu Yang's ears.

The dark clouds finally floated away.

The bright Mid-Autumn Moonlight sprinkled on the earth, illuminating the Forbidden City again.

A large number of soldiers wearing black armor rushed from every corner of the parade ground, forming a black wave, trying to drown Chu Yang's figure.

An organized army is a warrior's nightmare.

Whether before the great changes in the world or now, this truth has never been overturned.

Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, Cao Shaoqin, Ma Jinliang, the supervisors of the two factories in the east and west, and the big boss walked in front of the soldiers.

The endless imperial guards seemed to give them a different confidence. The four people had murderous intent on their faces, as if Chu Yang was already in the bag.

In addition to them, there were more than a dozen eunuchs in red robes around the imperial guards staring at Chu Yang.

These red-robed eunuchs have extremely strong blood and qi, and almost all of them are masters who have undergone nine blood transfusions. They are as powerful as Cao Shaoqin and Ma Jinliang.

But their aura is a bit strange, as if mixed with something, and they are not as pure as ordinary warriors.

"Just these few people?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the 800,000 imperial guards are here, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

"Isn't there no one around my brother?"

"At this time, Your Majesty is still worried about Your Majesty. The deep brotherly love is really touching!"

"We are all brothers. I hope he can die in my hands."

"Coincidentally, Your Majesty thinks so too."

…………

The top of the Forbidden City.

Lu Xiaofeng and Chaihu hurried over and found that there were a lot of people here, not only the heads of the major sects, but also many martial artists whose names could not be called.

With more people watching the battle, there were naturally more guards responsible for patrolling.

"Why is it like a vegetable market?"

Chaihu stared at the sea of people in front of him in amazement.

"Didn't you say that Commander Wei would get into trouble sooner or later? Isn't this a disaster?" Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly.

His uneasiness finally became a fact, but he had no time to care about it. He could only raise his head and look at the highest palace.

At the top of the palace, two figures confronted each other in the moonlight.

Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City.

Ximen Chuxue, the Sword God.

The two top swordsmen of the world, even sword immortals.

Although there were many people watching the battle, no extra sound could be heard. Everyone was concentrating and holding their breath, fearing that they would miss every move between the two.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear the intermittent chirping of insects.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ye Gucheng, then at Ximen Chuxue, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

He had seen Ximen Chuxue long before the duel began. It should be said that Ximen Chuxue saved him. Lu Xiaofeng was poisoned during the investigation.

After waking up, he saw Ximen Chuxue, who helped him detoxify and persuaded him to give up the duel tonight.

There were too many confusing things, and it seemed that there were two big hands behind the scenes controlling everything. Lu Xiaofeng could not guarantee what would happen tonight.

However, it was impossible to let Ximen Chuxue give up the duel. He was a proud man.

"I hope I'm overthinking everything..."

Lu Xiaofeng stared at Ye Gucheng on the other side. He and Ye Gucheng were also old acquaintances, and since he met him in the capital, he felt that this person became more and more unfamiliar.

Thinking of Chu Yang's comments on Ye Gucheng, Lu Xiaofeng's heart tightened.

"Lu Xiaoji, don't you think Ximen Chuxue is a bit strange?"

Sikong Zhaixing suddenly appeared behind Lu Xiaofeng, scaring him.

"Why are you here?"

"That waist badge given by the bearded commander. It can be easily counterfeited. Just selling one can make a lot of money!"

"Are you really going to die?!"

"It's none of my business. I didn't counterfeit it. I'm just responsible for issuing it and sharing some of the money afterwards."

Lu Xiaofeng was so angry that he wanted to poke a hole in his forehead with his telepathic finger.

"Don't be angry first. Ximen Chuxue seems to be angrier than you. What's going on?"

Hearing Sikong Zhaixing's reminder, Lu Xiaofeng carefully observed Ximen Chuxue's expression and saw anger in his eyes.

It was the kind of anger caused by extreme disappointment!

Why did Ximen Chuxue feel angry in front of Ye Gucheng?

A flash of inspiration flashed through Lu Xiaofeng's mind, and he almost grasped the key to the problem.

However, at this moment, Ximen Chuxue's voice suddenly rang out.

"Today's duel ends here!"

"You... are not worthy of my sword!"

The next moment.

A fierce uproar broke out in front of the originally quiet palace!

Everyone waited all night, but the duel didn't start, but ended directly!

Ximen Chuxue's behavior was even more weird. If you don't want to fight, then don't fight. Why insult others?

What do you mean you are not worthy of me to use my sword?

He didn't fight, but just said some inexplicable and cruel words. How can a dignified sword god have such a small pattern?

Seeing Ximen Chuxue was about to leave, Ye Gucheng was anxious.

But he just took a step forward, and there was a sound of breaking through the air.

Lu Xiaofeng saw two white lights flashing in the dark night, shooting towards Ye Gucheng.

Hidden weapon!

"Be careful!"

As soon as the voice fell, Ye Gucheng's body trembled, and he showed an unbelievable look.

The whole person fell from the roof and hit the ground hard.

The sudden accident shocked everyone.

Did Ye Gucheng just die like this?

"Everyone, don't move!"

Wei Ziyun walked to Ye Gucheng's body with a dark face and ordered all the imperial guards to seal off the scene and find out who attacked Ye Gucheng.

How could he put his face when Ye Gucheng died inexplicably in this place?

Lu Xiaofeng was also shocked. He walked forward and was about to check Ye Gucheng's body, but was blocked by Ximen Chuxue in white.

He looked at Ximen Chuxue in confusion, and the latter whispered in his ear: "He is fake."

Fake?

Ye Gucheng is fake!

Lu Xiaofeng thought of the anger in Ximen Chuxue's eyes before, and suddenly realized that Ximen Chuxue was angry because it was a fake Ye Gucheng who came to duel with him!

In order to prevent Ximen Chuxue from saying that Ye Gucheng was fake, Lu Xiaofeng quickly pulled his arm and the two walked to the edge of the crowd.

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "How do you know he's fake?"

"Sword Qi and Sword Intention." Ximen Chuxue explained, "The sword qi on him looks very good at first glance, but there is no sword intention to support it. I can't feel the ethereal mystery of the fairy from the sky. It should be simulated by a special technique."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Don't tell others yet."

Ximen Chuxue asked, "Is this important?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Very important!"

Ximen Chuxue nodded slightly, then kept silent. Since his friend said it was important, he would do it.

Lu Xiaofeng walked through the crowd again, walked to Ye Gucheng's body, and said to Wei Ziyun, "Can I check his body?"

Wei Ziyun said, "Others can't, but you, Lu Xiaofeng, can."

"Thank you." Lu Xiaofeng squatted down and began to check the body of "Ye Gucheng".

But strangely, he didn't check the wound, but kept groping the neck of the body.

After a while, Lu Xiaofeng, who seemed to have touched something, stood up with a terrible face. He was sure that Ye Gucheng was fake, and naturally confirmed all the doubts in his heart.

"Commander Wei, where is the emperor now?"

"His Majesty is in the imperial study. There is no need to alarm His Majesty for such a small matter, right?"

"Well, since Commander Wei said so, forget it."

Wei Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief. If the emperor knew that he was incompetent and caused such a big mess, I am afraid that his official career would be severely recorded.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the location of the imperial study, and his whole body was trembling slightly. He did understand a shocking conspiracy, but chose not to say anything.

It has nothing to do with the people of the world.

He, Lu Xiaofeng, can't bear such a big responsibility.

He just hopes that his good friend can walk out of the palace alive...

Even if he pokes a hole in the sky, it doesn't matter.

Imperial study.

The emperor is standing by the window, looking at the bright Mid-Autumn full moon tonight.

After deploying so many assassins and spending most of his family's wealth, he became more and more uneasy.

After a moment, he whispered to himself, "It's really the devil in my heart."

Outside the house.

A sword light came very fast, like a fairy from the sky, blue sky and white clouds, flawless and spotless.

The emperor didn't even have time to dodge, let alone react.

Just when the sword was about to pierce the emperor.
