Ye Lingfeng was a little embarrassed, but also a little angry. Ye Gucheng was in the category of "not opening the pot".
Master Mu Daoren lost his position as master seventeen years ago, and now his senior brother Shi He, the most famous swordsman in Wudang, has also lost his position as master.
Ye Lingfeng didn't hide it very well, but at least he held it back and said, "It's all Wudang's business, regardless of each other."
Ye Gucheng nodded and said, "Here comes Hero Ye."
After only saying a few words, Ye Gucheng was as unreasonable as the legend said.
Ye Lingfeng had no choice but to resign angrily.
Ye Gucheng held the invitation in his hand and fell into deep thought. What reason did Wudang have to send him an invitation?
I have no friendship with Wudang. Wudang is famous for its swords. I am the most famous swordsman in the world. His fame is not even inferior to that of Wudang’s most noble elder, Taoist Mu. Unless I ask him to destroy his prestige, he is not looking for trouble for himself. uneasy?
Ye Gucheng turned to Jiang Qingxia and asked, "What did he tell your elder brother?"
Originally, Ye Gucheng didn't care what a little girl like Jiang Qingxia learned, because he was afraid that she wouldn't learn everything. But now Ye Gucheng had doubts about this invitation and wanted to ask more questions.
Jiang Qingxia was only in her teens. Because she liked Ye Gucheng's maids very much, she respected Ye Gucheng along with them. When she heard someone saying bad things about Ye Gucheng, she would rush over to complain, or snitch.
Seeing the usually aloof Ye Gucheng asking herself, she immediately became energetic, but she didn't know exactly what was going on. She just said: "He told my eldest brother, "The prince learned swordsmanship from Lord Ye, but he didn't learn anything. Great swordsmanship, although the Lord of Baiyun City is famous, how can he compare with my profound knowledge of Wudang?" "
Although there is no cause and effect, the words learned are accurate.
Ye Gucheng didn't understand the starting point of Ye Lingfeng's words, but he understood the meaning.
The prince's apprenticeship was made with great fanfare, and everyone knew about it, so he had to take on the title of swordsmanship teacher. It's not that the prince doesn't care about learning swordsmanship, it's just that people's energy is limited and he has too many things to learn.
Ye Gucheng also had to lament that he kept learning, learning, and learning every day. At such a young age, he had no time of his own, so he was well-informed and lacked innocence.
I don’t know whether to feel sad that he has lost the joy of childhood, or to be happy that he has the opportunity to obtain such a high-quality education.
Excellent people must not be played for fun. Although the prince cannot learn swordsmanship wholeheartedly, Ye Gucheng doesn't think there is anything wrong, but he does have the reputation of being a swordsmanship teacher.
But why did Ye Lingfeng say this? Just to promote Wudang and belittle yourself?
Ye Gucheng is not the simple swordsman in the original work. He knows too many inside stories and everything happens for a reason.
I couldn't figure it out for the moment, but since I received the invitation and Wudang was a very important sect, I still wanted to go.
Ye Gucheng has always been famous for his grand ostentation. Wherever he goes, he is surrounded by crowds of people, with beautiful maids surrounding him, like a beauty pageant.
But now Ye Gucheng didn't want to do that anymore. This time he decided to go to Wudang alone.
Full moon, late night.
Looking at the full moon in the sky, Ye Gucheng thought of the full moon scimitar, and also thought of that "full moon night, the top of the Forbidden City" competition.
Ximen Chuixue hasn't been born yet, and she still has to wait for him.
A rickety figure walked over from a distance, holding a basket in his hand.
Ye Gucheng suddenly appeared in front of her, and the figure seemed startled.
He raised his head with an ugly face full of wrinkles. When he saw Ye Gucheng, his eyes seemed to be shocked again, as if such a noble man was not suitable to stand with an ugly, poor old woman like himself.
Ye Gucheng asked: "What's in the basket?"
"Sugar... sugar-fried... chestnuts."
She lowered her head and grabbed a handful of chestnuts and asked, "Want to... buy them? Fragrant... roasted chestnuts with sugar."
Her tone was a little timid, like a person at the bottom meeting a high official and not even daring to look him in the face.
Ye Gucheng picked up one
He put the chestnut in his mouth and moved quickly, as if he was grabbing it.
The old woman was startled again, and she couldn't stop her in time.
"Hey...hey..."
Ye Gucheng said while eating: "What? Can't you eat?"
The old woman said: "You...you haven't given me the money yet!"
Ye Gucheng asked: "How much?"
He said and ate another one.
The old woman was even more shocked and said in a trembling voice: "Ten coins...ten coins a pound."
Ye Gucheng took out a piece of silver, a total of fifty taels, and said, "I'll cover it all."
But the old woman didn't answer and said, "I...I don't have any money...I'll give it to you."
After saying that, he wanted to bypass Ye Gucheng and leave.
Ye Gucheng stopped her again and said, "No need for change."
Then he handed the money to her.
The old woman wanted to cry, even her wrinkles seemed to squeeze out tears, and she looked up at Ye Gucheng again.
A face as calm as water, his eyes are not sharp, but he wants to see through all disguises.
The old woman really cried and said, "City Lord, please spare me!"
This voice is definitely not that of an old woman. Instead, it is as clear and clear as a girl's. Although it has a crying sound, it is still as sweet as ever.
Ye Gucheng snorted and asked, "Are you following me?"
The old woman said: "I didn't mean to do it. I was being hunted and had nowhere to escape. I wanted to go to the palace to ask for your protection. I found you going out, so I followed you all the way. I just wanted to be close to you, for fear of danger." "
Ye Gucheng said: "I hate the old woman making a girlish voice."
The old woman immediately said: "Yes, City Lord."
The voice became that of an old woman again.
Ye Gucheng asked: "Why do you think I will protect you?"
The old woman said: "I really have no choice. I have no friends, and the people I offend are too powerful. Among the people I know, only the city lord can save me."
Ye Gucheng said: "Even if I can keep you, why should I offend someone you can't afford to offend?"
The old woman was silent for a moment and said: "The city lord saved my life by letting me go in the palace. The city lord will definitely not mind saving me again. In fact, it was just a misunderstanding."
Ye Gucheng asked: "What theory is this?"
The old woman said nothing.
But Ye Gucheng felt that what she said was reasonable, and he really wanted to help her again, no matter who she offended.
Human psychology is very complex. People who help you repeatedly will help you again, but people you have helped may not be willing to help you. Great kindness is like great hatred. Many people repay kindness with hatred, but it is because the kindness is too great.
Ye Gucheng asked: "Who wants to kill you?"
The old woman replied: "Huo Xiu."
Ye Gucheng was stunned and asked, "Why?"
The old woman replied: "When I saw him visiting you, I thought there must be some inside story about two lonely people being together, so I followed him. As a result, his martial arts skills were too high and he was discovered. He didn't ask any questions, so he sent a killer. You must kill me."
The old woman is Gongsun Lan who transformed into Grandma Xiong.
Ye Gucheng said: "It's your own fault. Huo Xiu's martial arts is one of the best in today's martial arts world. If you want to follow him, you are asking for death."
Gongsun Landao: "I didn't expect him to be so powerful and unreasonable. What if I don't want him?"
Ye Gucheng said: "How can a person like him allow someone to follow him? Especially for such a low-key person, killing you is a normal reaction. I am going to Wudang, and when I have time to meet Huo Xiu, I will ask him to spare you. .”
Gongsun Lan asked: "Are you going to attend the head succession ceremony?"
"Um."
Gongsun Landao: "Let me go with you. The killer sent by Old Man Huo is so powerful. I'm afraid I will be killed before you can meet him."
Can the killer of Tsing Yi Tower not be powerful?
Ye Gucheng asked: "Why do you want to get involved in everything?"
Gongsun Landao: "I am alone
When entering the world, I don’t think too much, but look more to see where I can find my foothold. "
Ye Gucheng nodded. No matter what you do, ability is of course important, but those who can be at the top are those who are far-sighted and can make plans for themselves. If you want to rely on your own abilities and sit there waiting for others to discover you, you will never be able to get ahead in your life.
Ye Gucheng asked: "You just follow me like this?"
Ye Gucheng didn't mind someone following him, but he didn't want an old woman to follow him either.
Gongsun Landao: "I will change it right away."
After all, Gongsun Lan still didn't use her true face. She always felt that showing her true face to others would be a great danger to herself. So far, only Ye Gucheng has seen her true face. This is because Ye Gucheng does not rely on faces to recognize people. To show respect, she will let Ye Gucheng see her true face.
Gongsun Lan disguised herself as a pretty maid and followed Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng still recognized Gongsun Lan's disguise skills and asked, "Can those killers see through your disguise skills?"
Gongsun Landao: "Of course they are not like the city lord who can see through them at a glance, but as time goes by, I will inevitably show my flaws. These killers are really haunting, and they just won't let me go."
The tone was very annoyed.
Huo Xiu had too many secrets, how could he know the purpose of the person following him, but there was no need to tell Gongsun Lan this.
Ye Gucheng felt much more comfortable having someone by his side who could run forward and backward.
Gongsun Lan asked: "My chestnuts are poisonous, how come you are fine after eating them?"
Ye Gucheng didn't have to answer, what kind of poison could poison him.
Ye Gucheng asked: "You want to poison me?"
Gongsun Lan quickly shook his head and said: "You ate so fast, I didn't have time to stop you. Besides, I knew you had seen through it when I saw you. I didn't expect that not only were you an excellent swordsman, but you could also see through the disguise technique, and you were also immune to all kinds of poisons." Invade."
Ye Gucheng didn't explain either.
Gongsun Lan changed the topic again and said: "Wudang changes its leader, and all the martial arts sects will definitely be present. It is really a grand gathering of martial arts."
Gongsun Lan kept talking, and Ye Gucheng's response was simple words such as "Yeah, ah, okay."
Gongsun Lan is right. The closer to Wudang Mountain, the more martial arts people there are. Those who hold swords and carry knives are all rushing to Wudang Mountain.
Ye Gucheng didn't know anyone, and no one knew Ye Gucheng. On the contrary, Gongsun Lan recognized many people, but no one knew her.
