[Comprehensive] Our city lord is glamorous and noble

Chapter 77

The courtyard was quiet.

The carriage didn't know where it came from, and it drove into the yard silently.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the door in surprise.

Isn't there only a small alley for one person to enter this courtyard?Where did the carriage come from?

Questions flashed through his mind, because what he was concerned about now was not these supernatural little things.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Ye Gucheng!"

Urgent cries pierced the night sky.

The subordinates of Baiyun City took a secret look at Lu Xiaofeng, and rolled their eyes in a corner where he couldn't see.

Their City Master Ye Xijing, except for Lu Xiaofeng, an unruly guest, who would yell in the yard?

Also very contemptuous.

The carriage slammed to a stop, but there was no sound, and it stopped smoothly. The skill of the driver must be very high.

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were all locked on the carriage, and when the driver took off his hat, he immediately saw who it was.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's you!"

It's a little brother who has been a clerk in Jin Mingmie, a coachman, a gatekeeper, a mysterious man in black, and everything.

The little brother smiled and said, "It's me."

Lu Xiaofeng wanted to say why it was you again, but he suddenly realized that he didn't even know the name of this person.

The little brother seemed to know what he was going to say, jumped off the horse and said, "You can call me a brick."

Lu Xiaofeng: "???"

A brick said: "A brick of socialism, I will move it wherever it is needed."

Lu Xiaofeng: "???"

"Cough-cough-"

Hearing this, the gatekeeper coughed a few times, and greeted a brick like a knife.

Gatekeeper: The city lord is about to come down, what are you talking about?

A Brick naturally received the other party's gaze, and immediately adjusted his expression, extremely serious, as if he wasn't the one who was joking with Lu Xiaofeng just now.

In a second of effort, they turned out to be two different people.

Lu Xiaofeng speculated in his mind for a while, feeling that the other party's words were most likely to be used to deceive him, so he decisively left them behind, and stared at Ye Gucheng's carriage eagerly with a pair of tricks.

He is now going to wait for Ye Gucheng to get off the car and tell him about Zhang Wanrou's problem, so if he knows about it earlier, he will take precautions.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't receive the news fast enough, he was wandering the streets looking for Jin Jiuling, how could he know that the people from the Beggar Clan saw him and ran over and said that someone had exchanged Jin Jiuling's eyeballs for a treasure map.

Lu Xiaofeng was shocked when he heard this, Jin Jiuling was indeed lost at this point, could it be true this time?

He hurriedly asked who was going to replace the eyeball, and once he heard that it was Zhang Wanrou, was it okay?

At that time, he ran back to the inn and broke into Zhang Wanrou's room without knocking on the door.

No one was there, nor was Jin Jiuling, but there was a faint smell of medicine.

Lu Xiaofeng's nose is sharper than a dog's, how can he not smell that the smell of medicine is from Jin Jiuling's body?

He went to the pharmacy diligently to catch every patch.

It was only then that he realized that he really didn't seem to have entered Zhang Wanrou's house. At that time, he thought about whether a man and a woman would marry each other, and the other party was bent on revenge. Naturally, Lu Xiaofeng didn't think too much about it. After thinking about it, there were actually quite a few flaws. , but he never doubted it.

Lu Xiaofeng wished he could slap himself.

How often has he encountered disasters caused by credulous people?

But until now, Lu Xiaofeng seems to be making the same mistake over and over again.

The carriage door opened.

The first thing to come out was a woman's hand.

Lu Xiaofeng was very calm, based on his experience, the one who came out first was either Miss Langyue or Miss Lanfeng.

These two girls are worthy of being City Lord Ye's confidants, no matter when and where, they will be by his side.

But Lu Xiaofeng took a closer look and felt something was wrong.

A man like him who has wandered around the flowers for a long time naturally has some experience in seeing women.

It is very unprofessional to look at the beauty in the bone but not in the skin, just look at the face.

Neck, hands, these are the essence.

Although the woman's hand in front of her was long and slender, it was not as beautiful as Lang Yuelan's. Those two girls' hands were almost the most beautiful hands Lu Xiaofeng had ever seen.

He couldn't help raising his spirits, wanting to see who it was, after all, he didn't know that besides Lanfeng and Langyue, there were other women who could share the same room with City Lord Ye.

The hem of the goose yellow skirt, Lu Xiaofeng gasped when he saw half of the person's face.

It was Zhang Wanrou who came down.

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng, Zhang Wanrou first smiled apologetically, and then immediately backed away. A heroine as proud and arrogant as her actually stood aside like a maidservant, and she behaved in a demeanor.

She was almost assimilated by the maidservant of Baiyun City.

Ye Gucheng then got off the carriage.

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng, he raised his eyebrows, and interrupted before he could speak: "I know what you want to ask."

He continued: "Go in and talk."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be walking away, not caring that Lu Xiaofeng was staring at him eagerly.

Even though Lu Xiaofeng was full of doubts, he had no choice but to hold back his stomach, and walked behind Ye Gucheng.

Ximen Chuuxue went out and did not return, besides the people from Baiyun City, only Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wanrou were in the courtyard.

Zhang Wanrou was just like her name, she was extremely docile, when Lu Xiaofeng looked at her, he suddenly felt that he saw another subordinate of Baiyun City.

The kind who is loyal to Lord Ye.

He must have been overwhelmed by City Lord Ye's charisma.

Ye Gucheng said: "Are you here for Jin Jiuling?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Not bad."

He raised his head and looked at Zhang Wanrou again, as if the other party didn't notice his presence at all, he didn't even raise his head.

She did not meet Lu Xiaofeng's eyes.

Is it because of a guilty conscience, or just don't care?

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Jin Jiuling's eyes were really gouged out?"

Ye Gucheng said: "That's right."

A flash of shock flashed in Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, and he said, "Then the other..."

Ye Gucheng said: "He is still alive."

Ye Gucheng said: "Although Jin Jiuling is your friend, you have nothing to do with this matter."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since he is my friend, his affairs are my affairs."

He never expected that he was devoted to protecting Jin Jiuling but made a mistake with Zhang Wanrou. To Lu Xiaofeng, this feeling was undoubtedly like being stabbed by a dagger from behind.

He also exposed the empty door unprepared.

There is only one reason why he is still calm now, because Ye Gucheng also knows about it.

Come to think of it, he knew the secret behind Jin Jiuling from the very beginning.

Without this reason, Lu Xiaofeng would never have remained calm.

He has great trust in Ye Gucheng.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is this related to Jin Jiuling's secret?"

Ye Gucheng said: "Not bad."

He thought about it, and now is not the time to be tricky, so he said, "Jin Jiuling is the embroidered thief."

Lu Xiaofeng was surprised: "What?"

Ye Gucheng said: "It's the embroidery thief who embroidered the blind man."

Lu Xiaofeng had always believed in Ye Gucheng's words, but when he was suddenly struck by thunder, even he couldn't recover immediately.

Jin Jiuling is an embroidered thief, why does Ye Gucheng know, what happened more than half a year ago has surfaced now, what does this have to do with Zhang Wanrou, and why does the sword ghost mention him?

Countless questions piled up in his mind, almost blowing Lu Xiaofeng's brain apart.

But before he came back to his senses, he saw Lang Yue entering the room and whispering in Ye Gucheng's ear.

Lang Yue said: "The master Ximen is back."

Ye Gucheng, who became the center of information, had to invite Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wanrou out first, and then find someone who knew the truth to tell Lu Xiaofeng exactly what happened.

Ximen Chuuxue also had a conversation with him.

After everyone went out, Ye Gucheng sighed silently.

This is the so-called hard work of the capable. Because he knows too much, he has become the backbone. Whoever comes will look for him, and there are so many things.

City Lord Ye is very busy every day.

Ximen Chuuxue's complexion was not very good, so that Ye Gucheng knew that this person's trip was for nothing when he saw him.

Sure enough, Ximen Chuixue said, "He avoids me."

This him, of course, refers to Jade Rakshasa.

Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue are not stupid, since Yu Luocha dared to pretend to be a sword ghost, there must be some ulterior purpose between him and Gong Jiu.

Judging from Ye Gucheng's poor understanding of Yu Luocha, as long as the other party appears, there must be a big conspiracy.

Could it be that he teamed up with Gong Jiu to usurp the throne, but isn't this preparation a little too hasty?

Ximen Chuuxue didn't know that the sword ghost was Gong Jiu, and he didn't know who Gong Jiu was, so there was only one way for him to know, and that was Jade Rakshasa.

But looking for Yu Luosha is also risky, as long as he didn't want to tell Ximen Chuuxue on his own initiative, even if he wanted to look for someone else, he couldn't find it.

But Ximen Chuuxue is a very persevering person, he wants to find someone, and he always succeeds in the end, so he said hello to Ye Gucheng and went out, ready to use his own way to see what Yu Luocha wants do something.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he will go to the sword ghost to seek revenge.

As for the result, it is also in front of my eyes, the Tao is one foot high, the devil is one foot high, Ximen Chuuxue really can't play with Jade Raksha for the time being.

But Ximen Chuixue said: "Although I didn't find him, I received a note."

Ye Gucheng's eyes moved and said: "What?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "It's a letter of war."

His expression was very cold, not at all like an expression that could fight against a master.

Ye Gucheng said: "Whose letter of war."

Ximen Chuixue said, "Sword Demon."

Ye Gucheng is dumb, what does Gong Jiu want to do?

Ye Gucheng said: "I thought he refused to fight with you."

Ximen Chuuxue sneered, "Who knows what he's thinking."

Ye Gucheng said: "Go or not."

Ximen Chuixue said, "Of course."

Ye Gucheng said: "Where is it?"

Ximen Chuuxue's expression twisted again, and he said, "I don't know."

Ye Gucheng said in surprise, "I don't know?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "He didn't write it."

Ye Gucheng reluctantly said: "Time?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "Night of the full moon."

There is still more than half a month until the next full moon night.

Ye Gucheng said: "Can you let me see the note?"

Ximen Chuuxue was not ambiguous at all, and directly gave the things to Ye Gucheng.

Then Ye Gucheng saw an invitation to fight with only time but no address.

【If you want a duel, on a full moon night, bring your sword. 】

The next book, Sword Ghost, has two flamboyant characters.

No name, no surname, no beginning and no end, and the tone is very cheap.

It's quite understandable why Ximen Chuuxue's complexion is so bad, he must have been pissed off by Gong Jiu.

As for the location, it didn't say anything at all, as if Ximen Chuuxue knew for sure.

Ye Gucheng was silent, for a while, he said: "I probably know where it is."

Ximen Chuixue asked, "Where?"

Ye Gucheng said: "The top of the Forbidden City."

What kind of treasure map is it? It's not a treasure map at all, it's the location of the battle.

It was also the night of the full moon, and it was also the top of the Forbidden City, but it turned into a battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Gong Jiu!

What exactly is going wrong.

Gong Jiu hid in a hidden courtyard.

The neighbors on the left and the right are all serious Yingtian people who do some small business, and his family is also like this.

But no one knew that there was a mystery hidden in the small courtyard.

Gong Jiu said: "How about the puppet?"

The subordinate said: "It was hacked twice by Zhang Wanrou."

Gong Jiudao: "Did anyone see any problems before?"

The subordinate said: "Never."

Gong Jiudao: "Have the treasure map been delivered to Zhang Wanrou?"

The subordinate said: "Only half of it will be delivered."

Gong Jiu said: "Where is the other half?"

The subordinate said: "The other half was taken away by the ranger."

Gong Jiu said: "Oh?"

Gong Jiu said again: "If she only grabs half of it, is the person dead or alive?"

Based on his imagination, if Zhang Wanrou didn't even keep half of the map, she would probably be killed by those so-called heroes.

After all, she was just a woman. Although those heroes of the rivers and lakes were low in strength, there were many of them. It was very possible to kill a master of the rivers and lakes who was not so good as to drop ten times.

It's just that the casualties are heavy.

The subordinate said: "People are alive."

Gong Jiu said: "How could it be alive?"

The subordinate said: "Because she was rescued by Ye Gucheng."

Gong Jiu said: "Who are you talking about?"

The subordinate said: "Ye Gucheng, the master of Baiyun City."

Upon hearing the name, Gong Jiu involuntarily touched his shoulder.

His shoulders are already healed, the sword energy has been pulled out, and his skin is smooth and clean. No one can imagine that there was a sharp sword energy flowing through the meridians under his shoulders. If he hadn't practiced evil kung fu, he would have been continuously injured. Injured to torture to death.

But he didn't die, not only didn't he die, the pain couldn't make him feel the pain, what brought Gong Jiu only deep joy.

Whenever I feel the sword energy of Lord Ye, it's like seeing his person, sharp and beautiful.

Gong Jiu is very interested in people like Ye Gucheng, it might be better to say that he has a strange affection.

He wants to play games with Ye Gucheng.

If Jiu Gongzi wants to play games with someone, the best ending for that person is probably to commit suicide before the game starts.

Because you will never imagine how many ways the ninth son has to torture people, and how vicious his heart is.

Gong Jiudao: "I never thought City Lord Ye would come here."

The subordinate did not speak.

Because he already felt the joyful meaning in Jiu Gongzi's words, he also knew that Jiu Gongzi didn't need to speak by himself at this time.

If you violate the precepts, there is only one result.

That is death.

Ninth Young Master said: "Since City Lord Ye is here, the game can't end so quickly."

He originally planned to go back home after agreeing to Yu Luocha last night, but now it seems that there are other things he can do.

Gong Jiu, although there are one thousand and ten thousand bad points, but he still has some habits that ordinary people think are cute. For example, when he said that he wanted to kill four people, he felt that one would not kill more, and the other would kill more. , He said that if a person can live for 30 days, that person will never see the sun for No.30 a day.

Although the examples are very cruel, it can at least show that he is a person who keeps his promises.

So what he promised Yu Luocha would do [-]% of the time.

But he will make trouble for people he doesn't like, such as Nan Wang who is very ambitious but has no brains.

Gong Jiu stopped talking, he seemed to be staring blankly, his eyes were out of focus.

The subordinates knelt on the ground with their foreheads pressed against the ground.

He treated himself like a wooden stake, the kind that couldn't speak or breathe.

Because the subordinates know that the ninth son is thinking, if he interrupts his thoughts, he will definitely die.

That's how the previous dark guard died, because his breathing was so loud that it interrupted Jiu Gongzi's daze.

He kills without any reason.

Nan Wang has become very confident recently.

Money touches people's hearts, and money can make ghosts turn the millstone.

With an extra 80 taels out of thin air, he suddenly became very rich.

With more money, he can do more things, such as buying weapons, such as finding stronger Jianghu masters.

He is stronger than Jiang Ruhua who was killed by Ye Gucheng at the beginning.

He suddenly felt confident that his long-cherished wish for many years could be realized.

As for the sword ghost that just appeared recently.

Thinking of this ignorant person, a gloomy look flashed across Nan Wang's face.

He is still very confident, because he knows that even if the other party doesn't know good from bad, he can still take him down.

Is there really anyone in this world who can refuse the temptation of money?

Although he wasn't sure that it would work for Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng, he believed that it should be effective for a strange swordsman who was just fledgling in the rivers and lakes.

However, the man dared not give him an answer.

But what does it matter if you don't give him an answer?

His eyes were extremely gloomy, and he had other ways.

Although there are not many people with exactly the same face in this world, there are many people with the same body shape.

The sword ghost wears a bronze ghost mask, and most people can pretend to be him.

If you don't cooperate, you will simply kill people across the board.

He wanted to see who would oppose him if he changed his own.

Thinking of this, Nan Wang hummed from time to time, as if he had seen the fate of people who opposed him.

But he didn't expect that before he finished his imagination, the people under him would enter the room in three steps at a time, without even notifying him.

The steward said: "My lord."

Nan Wang frowned. At this time, he seemed to dislike anyone violating his rules.

Nan Wang couldn't help thinking, if it was in the palace, would someone rush in and out without reporting?

Of course it was impossible. At that time, his son was the emperor, and he was the Supreme Emperor. There would only be young eunuchs who were clean and courteous by his side, and no old stewards in a hurry.

But he also knows that he is not too emperor now, so even if his subordinates are in a hurry and noisy, he has to tolerate it.

Until the long-cherished wish is fulfilled, there is no room for mistakes.

Nanwang said: "What is it?"

His appearance is still very generous, this is the result of years of patience, his generosity has become a mask, the whole world knows that Nan Wang is dull and can't speak, he is still a filial son.

If it was normal, the manager would probably be able to see his impatience, but now, the situation is probably urgent, and he can't care about anything.

The steward said, "My lord, that half of the map has been leaked out."

Nan Wang said: "What half a map."

The steward said, "It's the map in Sword Demon's hand."

Speaking of this name, Nan Wang was silently irritated again, he said: "Sword Demon did not agree to our conditions."

Therefore, the treasure map in his hand is definitely not the one he concocted.

The steward said: "That's true, but the maps in the world that are made by him are really amazing."

As he said that, he took out the blueprint made of two in one.

Nan Wang frowned and said, "Why is it disconnected in the middle?"

The steward said: "Half of it is in the hands of street rangers, and it has already been spread, and the other half is in Zhang Wanrou's hands."

Nan Wang said: "Zhang Wanrou? Sounds like a woman."

The steward said: "She is No. 12 in the sword manual."

Nan Wangdao: "Even if it is number one in the sword manual, it is a woman."

He said so, and finally lowered his head to look at the spliced ​​map. Looking at it this way, he felt ashamed.

Nan Wang said: "What is this... what is this!"

He finally couldn't maintain his simple and honest appearance, and became furious.

The manager is obedient, wishing to kneel at the feet of King Nan.

As early as when he saw this map, he realized that it was not good.

The steward is different from others, he is an old man who follows Nan Wang, the steward knows all about Nan Wang's ambitions and the disrespectful things he has done.

Once on the thief ship, he can't get off. What he expects is that King Nan can succeed, so that he can also earn the merits of being a dragon, so that future generations will be rich and prosperous.

So he also knows that the more critical it is now, the less mistakes can be made.

But now, not only did he make a mistake, he was simply a disaster.

Nan Wang was like an angry lion, he smashed all the porcelain in his sight.

The steward didn't even dare to move his feet, allowing debris to cover the ground, some of which almost scratched his feet.

But he still didn't dare to move.

Nanwang smashed all the porcelain in the room, and his mood seemed to calm down a little. He said, "How many people in Jianghu have seen this treasure map."

The steward said, "Almost all the people in Yingtian have seen it."

Hearing this sentence, Nan Wang's face turned pale again, which is different from everyone who has seen it.

But he can't give up, because if he gives up, he will fall short.

Nan Wang said: "First remove as many people and things as possible in the yard."

Nan Wang said again: "I don't care what method you use, you must convince those people that this treasure map is fake."

The steward said: "But the treasure map on the right half was snatched by the Jianghu Ranger from the Sword Demon."

Nan Wang said: "Then it should be on the left side."

The treasure location is drawn on the left half.

Nan Wangdao: "Isn't that half in the hands of some woman? Thinking about it, it's easy to evade it."

Nan Wangdao: "Use the treasure map prepared at the beginning instead."

The housekeeper made a promise and exited the room.

When he closed the door, he heard the sound of the chair falling down. He thought that Nanwang's anger could not be vented, and it was not something that could be easily solved by smashing porcelain.

He sighed, sweat sliding down his forehead.

He thought, to say that the treasure map is a fake is a fake, how can things be so easy.

Nan Wang lifted his lips and said lightly, they are going to deal with it to death.

Don't know if it can be reversed smoothly.

The steward felt very suspenseful.

Treasure maps are found in the rivers and lakes.

No matter what dynasty or year, as long as the treasure map is in the world, it will always cause bloody storms.

The treasure map of Jinxiangyu Villa is one of them.

In the beginning, those who knew about this treasure map were nothing more than a mob. They didn't even know the relationship between the treasure map and Jinxiangyu Villa.

They only know that there are peerless secret books in the treasure map.

But suddenly, the relatives who produced Wufu in Jinxiangyu Villa suddenly appeared and said that the treasure map not only contains martial arts cheats, but also wealth.

How much wealth?

It can accumulate the wealth of several gold inlaid jade villas.

Now, even the middle-level masters who walk the rivers and lakes can't sit still.

They don't believe that there are any martial arts cheats that can turn mediocre people into masters all at once, because they all know that the so-called martial arts requires talent and hard work.

Although the martial arts cheats are not very tasteless, they are not very important either.

But when they live to their age, they also know more and more what the so-called secular world looks like, and they also know more and more about the importance of money.

If you want to become an independent swordsman like Ximen Chuuxue, you must first have a villa.

Thousands of plum blossoms are planted in the Wanmei Villa in Saibei.

It sounds magnificent, but when you really get to the bottom of it, it requires a lot of money.

The background of Wanmei Villa can surpass most of the famous schools that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

Whether it is a decent family or a knight in the rivers and lakes, if you want to go to the next level, you need enough money.

But given their status in the arena, there is no problem if they want to live well, and if they want to establish a sect, the problem should not be too big.

It's okay if there is no hope, but if there is hope, all parties are ready to move.

Being able to have a high status in the arena, they spend much more time in the arena than those rookies.

So when they had seen the glory of the Jinxiangyu Villa, they also knew that the Jinxiangyu Villa was destroyed overnight, but the wealth did not know where it went.

Although this matter has disappeared from the world now, many people have had the idea of ​​the treasure in the villa back then, and many people have tried to find the legendary treasure map.

The result, of course, was nothing.

Now that the so-called treasure map is in the world, can they really not be moved?

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

The heroes from all directions suddenly became excited. They did not rush to Yingtian, but waited and watched.

"What did you hear?"

"What did you hear?"

"The treasure map of Jinxiangyu Villa has appeared."

"I know about it, but I also know that what many people want is the martial arts secret book."

"What kind of martial arts cheats do they have? If they really have one, they won't be wiped out overnight."

"That's the truth, but many people can't see clearly."

"But although Jinxiangyu Villa doesn't have martial arts cheats, they are indeed very rich."

"Yes, I still remember that when Mr. Jin organized his 120th birthday, he received [-] units just for gifts. As for all kinds of rare treasures and antiques, there are countless of them."

"So naturally they are very rich."

"As long as anyone who has experienced that era knows."

"But we all know that although the Jinxiangyu Villa was destroyed overnight, no one knows where their treasure is."

"If that treasure map is real, their treasure may be hidden in one place."

"A lot of people do that."

"Then what do you think, is the news about the treasure map true or false?"

"You think I'll know?"

"Anyone who knows must have arrived in Yingtian."

The two fell silent.

"But I know one thing."

"what."

"Whether it's Ximen Chuuxue or Ye Gucheng has arrived in Yingtian."

"I heard that too."

"They just appeared overnight."

"Isn't it for the sword competition with the sword ghost?"

"But I heard that the sword ghost refused to fight Ximen Chuuxue."

"Although Ximen Chuuxue loves swords, if someone refuses to fight with him, they probably won't chase after him."

"What's more, I heard that the sword ghost challenged one by one according to the sword manual. Even if Ximen Chuuxue didn't show up, he would go to him in the end."

"really."

"What's more, have you heard why Ye Gucheng appeared?"

"why."

The man lowered his voice mysteriously, and he said: "Ye Gucheng only appeared once, and that was when the treasure map appeared."

"what do you mean?"

"If he had no intention of hiding the treasure map, how could he suddenly appear at that juncture?"

"He came here for the treasure map?"

"should."

The news caught the eyes of those who heard it.

Since Ye Gucheng came to Yingtian for the treasure map, the blueprint should be real.

The so-called "celebrity effect" probably means this.

"Since Ye Gucheng has arrived in Yingtian, we should go too."

"I heard that his Baiyun City is full of gold, and its wealth is comparable to that of Yingtian. If he is so rich and still interested in the treasure map, how much treasure will there be?"

That must be a very exciting number.

It is almost conceivable that a large number of knight-errants will pour into Yingtian's future.

Ye Gucheng:? ? ?

Didn't know I was advertising.
