Ye Gucheng's fierce sword power shocked Gong Jiu. In terms of swordsmanship, no one had ever made him look at him differently. However, Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship was only above him, never below him.
Ye Gucheng let out a long roar, his angry sword flew wildly, and the sword blades flying all over the sky came to the west. The Feihong Sword flashed with cold light, broke through Gong Jiu's sword net, and pierced Gong Jiu's throat.
The wind stopped, and the scattered leaves slowly fell, leaving only Ye Gucheng and Gong Jiu motionless.
Ye Gucheng held a sword in his right hand, and the tip of the sword was dripping blood through Gong Jiu's throat.
Gong Jiu's hand holding the sword dropped weakly, and finally let go. Blood bubbles were spitting out of his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
The master fell, and Ye Gucheng was endlessly sad. This was the second master to die in his hands, the first being Dugu Yihe.
Ye Gucheng also worked hard to have a fair duel with Gong Jiu. It's not that Gong Jiu's subordinates couldn't catch up here, but they were stopped by the killers from Qingyi Tower.
Ye Gucheng exposed his whereabouts to Prince Taiping through the "Red Shoes" and asked the assassins of Qingyi Tower to intercept Gong Jiu's subordinates. Only then did he create an opportunity for a fair duel with Gong Jiu.
Study martial arts painstakingly, develop peerless martial arts, and die with dignity.
Ye Gucheng saw the unwillingness in Gong Jiu's eyes, reached out to close his eyes, and drew out his sword. Gong Jiu fell at his feet.
Ye Gucheng took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and wiped Gong Jiu's wound. The medicinal powder mixed into the blood and made a "squeaking" sound. Soon the whole body turned into a puddle of yellow water and was destroyed.
With a grab in the air, Gong Jiu's sword jumped into Ye Gucheng's hand. With a flick of his middle finger, he let out a clear dragon roar. The Red Dragon Snow-Sealing Sword was indeed extraordinary.
Carrying Gong Jiu's sword, Ye Gucheng turned and left. There will no longer be Prince Taiping in the world, and the anonymous master "Beef Jerky" will never appear again. This matter has been revealed.
The blue sky on Feixian Island remains the same. Ye Gucheng is drinking water, with Gongsun Lan and Huo Xiu beside him.
Although Huo Xiu sent a killer to help Ye Gucheng, he didn't know what Ye Gucheng was doing specifically, and he didn't ask. This time I came here to continue the topic I didn’t finish last time, and I wanted to participate in Ye Gucheng’s maritime trade.
Last time Huo Xiu wanted to get involved in Ye Gucheng's trade and rushed to Feixian Island, but was so frightened by Ye Gucheng's words that he couldn't care less.
Now that everything has settled, he has helped Ye Gucheng a lot, and it's time to repay himself.
Feixian Island's fleet is extremely powerful. It roams the sea. Under the premise of seclusion, it is actually engaged in smuggling. The profits are even more lucrative, which Huo Xiu can't help but covet.
Ye Gucheng nodded in agreement without even thinking, even giving up huge benefits.
Huo Xiu left with satisfaction. Gongsun Lan couldn't help but ask: "You agreed so easily? And you seem to have suffered a big loss."
Ye Gucheng said: "It's just a little profit, not a loss."
Gongsun Lan asked: "Then you earn too much for a small amount. What qualifications does Huo Xiu have to make you make such a concession?"
Gongsun Lan was still worried about being chased by Huo Xiu and fleeing in embarrassment. Seeing Ye Gucheng give in like this, he felt unwilling to do so.
Ye Gucheng said: "Not to mention Huo Xiu's own martial arts, his Qingyi Building is worth this price."…
Gongsun Landao: "Even if you pay a high price every time to ask Qingyi House to take action, it doesn't have to be so much."
Ye Gucheng said: "If you just spend money to hire a killer, of course it will be enough, but I want more than that."
Gongsun Lan asked: "What else do you want?"
Ye Gucheng said: "What I want is that as long as I speak, he can't refuse."
The plot of the original work has ended. Ye Gucheng has no foresight about what will happen next and cannot continue his magic. The more allies you have, the more protection you will have. In the world of Gu Long, there are too many unreasonable things, and I never dare to be pretentious.
Gongsun Lan thought about it and understood. In fact, people can refuse the simplest employment relationship, no matter how high the price you offer.
Gongsun Lan asked: "With your power, you can actually form a killer organization yourself. Why do you have to use his?"
Ye Gucheng said:
"If I want a killer organization, I just need to accept the 'Invisible Man' and organize it. I don't have to form one myself."
Gongsun Landao: "Yes, I don't understand why you rejected the little old man. Taking over this organization really has all the benefits and no harm."
Ye Gucheng said: "I will not run a killer organization. I do evil things and do many evil things. Why should I pour this dirty water on myself?"
Gongsun Lan was suspicious and looked at Ye Gucheng strangely, not knowing why. Is smuggling legal? Why does the leader of a smuggling group look down on the killer organization?
Ye Gucheng could not explain to Gongsun Lan why he ignored national laws and engaged in smuggling trade.
Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, is aloof and seems to be indifferent to the world. Why does he still do such illegal things as a woman?
But if you don’t want something like sea power, there will naturally be people rushing to get it.
He once discussed this topic with the emperor when he was still the son of Prince Pingnan, but nothing changed after he ascended the throne.
"Nothing is allowed to enter the sea" is the ancestral motto. Although it was once relaxed and the feat of "Zheng He's voyages to the West" was achieved, it actually did not benefit the country and the people. After the "Longqing Switch", tribute trade was also opened, and private trade was still strictly restricted. And the tribute system of "thickness comes but little comes" is also a manifestation of arrogance, mainly due to lack of interest in the outside world.
These are all criticized by Ye Gucheng. In his eyes, no matter what the reason is, the policy of banning seas can actually be overcome.
Feixian Island has a huge influence in Nanyang, and the Chinese culture exported is also of far-reaching significance, but Ye Gucheng really doesn't know who he can share it with.
The world is now connected. The Age of Discovery has begun. The Portuguese have also obtained the right to live in Macau. French cannons have been spread to the Central Plains. Thermal weapons have begun to sprout. However, we ourselves are still blind to the outside world. We have begun to From leading the world to falling behind.
This dynasty must focus its main energy on Mongolia. It cannot be wrong, but it does not pay enough attention to the Northeast and overseas.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who unified Japan, brazenly sent troops to Korea, but was blocked by the Ming and Korean coalition forces and was forced to negotiate peace.
The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, but suddenly summoned Ye Gucheng to Beijing.
Ye Gucheng hasn't met the emperor for a long time. After killing Gong Jiu, he just sent a verbal message to the emperor. He didn't even go to Beijing and stayed at Feixian Island.
The emperor summoned him, and Ye Gucheng had to come even though he didn't want to.
The emperor was still as affectionate as ever, calling him "Master".
Ye Gucheng asked: "Why did the emperor come to me for something?"
The emperor was a little embarrassed and went straight to the topic without any pleasantries. This was really Ye Gucheng's character.
