Huo Xiu was originally one of the top people in the world, but he still didn't know who could definitely beat him. Jin Jiuling is known as the best master of the six doors in three hundred years. Huo Tianqian is not young, but he is very senior and his status is not trivial. His own martial arts are naturally outstanding. Although Hua Tianfeng comes from a merchant family, the Hua family's martial arts are not weak. Hua Manlou, who is blind, is still a top master.
They had an additional view on Ye Gucheng, the master of Baiyun City, the owner of this sword formation.
Ye Gucheng has challenged many swordsmen in the past few years and earned a great reputation for himself, but there is no one who is truly top-notch, like Huo Xiu.
Therefore, in the eyes of truly top players, Ye Gucheng's strength has yet to be verified.
Seeing this sword formation today, it was only used in the hands of a few maids, let them know that Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship is extremely high, there are not many people who can beat him, and he lives up to his reputation as a master of swordsmanship.
Although there were so many people watching, Ye Gucheng remained indifferent and just watched his maids perform the sword formation.
The woman being besieged was really good at martial arts. She was not inferior at all under the seven-in-one Tiangang Beidou Formation. Even if the martial arts of these maids are not high, it is still very rare.
Ye Gucheng shouted: "Change the formation."
The formation of these seven maids has changed and become more aggressive. It has changed from "Tiangang Beidou Formation" to "Zhenwu Seven Sections Formation", which can be called the first formation in Jin Yong's world.
The surrounded woman immediately felt a lot more pressure, and with so many people around her, it was best to go her own way.
She suddenly jumped up, and the maids who were arranged in the formation also tried to chase them, but she waved her hand and shot a flying claw from her sleeve, grabbing a big tree nearby, and she followed the flying claw to escape from the encirclement.
It was not easy to escape from the prince's palace like this. The prince was furious, and Jiang Chongwei flew to stop the woman.
When she spread her iron sand palm, she was like a tiger and a tiger, but this woman's small and agile movements were extremely flexible, which made Jiang Chongwei's martial arts a bit clumsy.
But it was not a matter of time for this woman to get rid of Jiang Chongwei, and a circle of palace guards had already surrounded her, all of them with their long swords unsheathed and ready for battle.
The woman suddenly reached out and threw it to the ground, and a cloud of smoke rose up with a bang, covering both her and Jiang Chongwei.
Regardless of his own safety, Jiang Chongwei shouted: "Protect the prince!"
The group of guards immediately turned around and surrounded the prince.
Jiang Chongwei couldn't watch, and these guests had no intention of taking action, so they could only watch the woman leave.
Ye Gucheng gave a cold "hum" and suddenly appeared on the way the woman was leaving.
The woman was shocked. Ye Gucheng was obviously in another direction, but in the blink of an eye, he blocked his way through the smoke. His light skill and accuracy of vision were rare in the world.
The sword in the woman's hand turned into dots of cold stars, trying to force Ye Gucheng back so she could escape.
Ye Gucheng's figure also moved left and right, without any movement of his feet, but he resolved all the sword moves.
The woman was horrified and tightened her grip.
Taking advantage of the situation, Ye Gucheng discovered that this woman's swordsmanship was so high that he had never seen it before. I have challenged so many famous swordsmen, but none of them can compare to this woman.
Ye Gucheng said: "You are worthy of me drawing my sword."
With a flash of cold light, Ye Gucheng's sharp sword was unsheathed.
Ye Gucheng's sword is not the giant sword given to him by King Pingnan, but the sword Feihong that has been following him.
The Feihong Sword was forged by overseas high-speed rail elites. It has a three-foot-three blade and a net weight of six kilograms and four taels.
Ye Gucheng drew his sword, making everyone's eyes widen. The most famous swordsman in the martial arts world today is Ye Gucheng, with a brilliant record, but very few people have actually seen him take action.
Although the VIPs who came to the palace came to give face to King Pingnan, as people in the martial arts world, they also wanted to get to know Ye Gucheng, a lonely swordsman, up close.
The woman's swordsmanship was already amazing. In terms of swordsmanship alone, no one could beat her. So Ye Gucheng drew his sword, and everyone was refreshed, even King Pingnan was no exception.
Ye Gucheng's sword glow was filled with a bone-chilling chill, like
The shocking rays of lightning, like a rainbow that shakes the sky, are dazzling and swift, so commanding that everyone who wields the sword cannot help but pay homage.
The flying sword shot down the woman's sword, and the flying rainbow stopped in front of the woman's throat.
The woman did not dare to move. The cold sword energy prevented her from making any move. She firmly believed that as long as she dared to move, no matter how fast, she would be pierced through the throat.
Ye Gucheng asked: "Who are you?"
The woman said: "My name is Gongsun Lan, I am..."
"Why come to the palace?"
Ye Gucheng didn't listen to her words at all. Gongsun Lan, the person whose name was left in the original work, was known as "Aunt Gongsun".
Ye Gucheng didn't need to listen to her self-introduction, he just wanted to know the purpose of her appearance here.
Gongsun Lan was interrupted and her instinct told her to answer whatever was best for her.
Gongsun Lan immediately said: "The Prince of Pingnan worships the Lord of Baiyun City as his teacher. I just want to find out the truth. I have no ill intentions..."
Ye Gucheng didn't wait for her to finish her words. He suddenly withdrew his sword and said, "Let's go."
Gongsun Lan was stunned again. Are you going to let him go now? She just paused for a moment, then immediately bowed to Ye Gucheng and flew away. It's not a good place to stay for a long time. If you can, leave as quickly as possible. Don't talk nonsense.
King Pingnan wanted to stop him. He didn't care whether Gongsun Lan's words were true or false, what was his purpose, and whether she had any malicious intent. The palace was not a place where she could come and go at will. Entering the palace in disguise was a capital offense, regardless of whether she had any malicious intent.
But he immediately stopped his impulse. He somewhat understood Ye Gucheng's character. There was no need to go against his will for such a trivial matter at this time.
King Pingnan said to Ye Gucheng: "It was my negligence that allowed outsiders to sneak in and disturb the city lord."
Ye Gucheng said: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much."
King Pingnan asked: "How did the city lord find out that this woman is a good person?"
Ye Gucheng said: "Her martial arts skills are very high and she cannot be hidden in front of me."
Prince Pingnan said: "The city lord doesn't know her, so it's not impossible for the palace's maid to be highly skilled in martial arts."
Ye Gucheng said: "She has changed her appearance."
"oh!"
King Pingnan understood that it was possible to send a maid with high martial arts skills to invite Ye Gucheng, but there was no need to disguise herself.
King Pingnan asked, "I didn't even notice that this personal maid had changed her appearance. How did the city lord find out?"
Ye Gucheng said: "I don't know her original appearance, but I can tell if she is disguised."
King Pingnan nodded, and everyone else murmured inwardly.
Ye Gucheng is not that old. He only knows that his sword skills are amazing. When he saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved. This is all within reason. But you can tell at a glance that a person is disguised, and this is Lao Jianghu. Maybe the rumors about Ye Gucheng in the Jianghu are just the tip of the iceberg. This person should not be underestimated.
Ye Gucheng's eyes swept around the guests, and Huo Xiu sensitively noticed that Ye Gucheng's eyes paused on him.
Ye Gucheng said: "I'm sorry to see these distinguished guests. I'll give you some specialties from Feixian Island. I'm sorry for Ye's poor hospitality."
If anyone else had Ye Gucheng's attitude, these people would be furious. Not to mention you, the Lord of Baiyun City, even King Pingnan treats them like guests. But when this attitude appeared on Ye Gucheng, it made people feel it was natural.
Feixiandao's "Seven Fruits and Seven Flowers Wine" is brewed from seven kinds of fruits and seven kinds of flowers that are special to Feixiandao. It is sweet but not astringent, mellow and rich, and is a rare authentic wine.
Without Ye Gucheng, King Pingnan personally sat with these guests.
Jin Jiuling is a person who enjoys life to the fullest. He sipped the Seven Fruits and Seven Flowers Wine and said, "The Lord of Baiyun City does not drink alcohol himself, but he can brew such a fragrant wine. He may not be as ruthless as he appears."
Huo Tianqing took a sip of wine, smacked it in his mouth, and said, "He is not needed to make wine, so naturally someone will make it for him."
Jin Jiuling shook his head and said: "He is the city lord, and everything in Baiyun City is his will. If he doesn't drink, no one in Baiyun City will have the idea of drinking. What is good for the top will be different for the bottom. He is obsessed with swords. ,
Even if the entire Baiyun City is blacksmithing, it won’t be a surprise. There is wine in Baiyun City, and it is a rare and fine wine. This is definitely what he meant. "
King Pingnan said: "Jin Baotou's words are reasonable. Lord Ye City may seem cold, but he is actually not difficult to get along with. I came to the house with my dog, and I just asked him to become my disciple, and he agreed without any requirements."
No one said that Ye Gucheng was following the trend. Everyone here was a secular person. Even if he didn't come to the palace to curry favor with King Pingnan, he still wanted to make good friends with King Pingnan. At least he didn't want to offend him.
Throughout the entire apprenticeship process, Ye Gucheng's expression remained calm without any unnecessary expression. He was neither far nor close to King Pingnan. Even if he could not get close to him, he did not feel domineering.
This person did everything based on his own likes and dislikes, followed his feelings, took in disciples whenever he wanted, and let Gongsun Lan go whenever he wanted.
Huo Xiu didn't talk much, and he didn't understand Ye Gucheng either. He just lowered his head and drank his own wine.
But he always felt that Ye Gucheng looked at him differently. As a top expert, he was confident that his feeling was not wrong. And a mature person like him would never regard this as a good thing, especially when facing someone like Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng is not an ordinary person, especially today when I saw that his swordsmanship was superior to mine. Although I was not afraid of him, I still had to figure out what Ye Gucheng meant.
Huo Xiu, who has always been withdrawn and unsociable, took the initiative to meet Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng was also surprised, but still politely served Huo Xiu tea.
Huo Xiu said: "The city lord seems to be particularly concerned about the old man."
What I said is not being sentimental. Smart people don’t waste time together. Saying meaningless words is an insult to the intelligence of both parties and a waste of everyone’s time.
Ye Gucheng was silent for a moment. There was nothing he couldn't say, but it was troublesome to explain. He couldn't say that everything he knew was told to him by Gu Long.
But Ye Gucheng didn't need to explain anything to anyone, and still answered frankly: "Yes, the boss of the 108th floor of Qingyi, I can't help but take a few more looks."
