The emperor asked, "Will Tokugawa Ieyasu succeed?"
Ye Gucheng said: "Yes, he will definitely succeed. His talent is even better than Toyotomi Hideyoshi."
The emperor asked, "Why not kill him too?"
Ye Gucheng said: "He is also dead. I am afraid that the strength of these daimyo is too balanced and has become stable. Now that Tokugawa Ieyasu is the only one, they have to fight. At that time, I could actually kill many people, but I only killed Toyotomi. Hideyoshi, because only killing him will cause civil strife. If others are killed too much, the result may not be satisfactory."
The emperor asked: "What happens after Tokugawa Ieyasu wins?"
Ye Gucheng said: "When the emperor has time, he can support other families and let them continue to fight. If he doesn't have time to control them, just let them stabilize for a few years. Tokugawa Hidetada is already under control. What to do depends on the emperor's mood."
The emperor asked: "Will Tokugawa Ieyasu compromise in order to save his son?"
Ye Gucheng said: "I don't know, we don't know what kind of character Tokugawa Ieyasu is, but Tokugawa Hidetada must know. If Tokugawa Ieyasu would be soft-hearted for his son, Tokugawa Hidetada would tell him that he has been hit by the 'talisman of life and death.' If No, he will definitely hide it, otherwise his life may be in danger. In short, he is more afraid than us that he will not be able to succeed, and he will worry about it himself. "
The emperor nodded, that's right.
The emperor thought for a while and asked: "What if Tokugawa Hidetada cannot become the heir? Can he kill Tokugawa Ieyasu again?"
Ye Gucheng thought for a long time and said: "It's impossible. The way Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, I guess Tokugawa Ieyasu will never let anyone with high martial arts get close to him in the future, especially people from the Central Plains."
The emperor's expression changed.
The emperor said: "We can finally let go of North Korea's affairs. Recently, the country has put most of its energy into North Korea, and Yang Yinglong in Bozhou is ready to make moves again. The north is the most serious concern."
Ye Gucheng was noncommittal. In fact, the Jurchens in the Northeast had also become popular.
Nurhaci took the initiative to request assistance to North Korea, but was rejected by the North Korean leader. In the eyes of the Koreans, Jurchen and Fusang are the same, they both covet their land, but they have not yet attracted enough attention from the emperor.
After this series of events, Jin Jiuling did not tell the emperor that Ye Gucheng was willing to give up his fleet to the emperor. In a series of events, he noticed a strange atmosphere.
As time passed by after entering the world, Ye Gucheng had lost his foresight and became more at home, living on Feixian Island.
Reflecting on what I did during this period, I found that there were indeed too many things that were out of line. No matter how the emperor summoned him, he could not refuse, so he cut off contact with the court and settled down to be a charlatan.
While tasting the wine, Lu Xiaofeng lamented: "The Seven Fruits and Seven Flowers wine from Feixian Island is indeed the best in the world, even the emperor's imperial wine cannot compare to it."
Ye Gucheng drank the water and didn't answer.
Lu Xiaofeng sighed and took out a letter: "It's just a sword, Ximen Chuixue."
Lu Xiaofeng whispered: "On a full moon night, Ximen Chuixue visited Feixian Island."
Ye Gucheng looked at the words on the invitation. The word "sword" soared into the sky and came out of the paper, even a little dazzling.
Ye Gucheng closed the letter and looked at Lu Xiaofeng.
Ye Gucheng said: "Real warriors dare to face the bleak life and face the dripping blood. Disability cannot destroy a real swordsman. His right hand cannot be cured. It seems that it is a left-handed sword. In such a short time , beyond his right hand, there is only Ximen Chuixue in the world. Ye is waiting for you. "….
Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't want him to have a sword duel with you. I didn't want you to have a sword duel back then, but I couldn't stop him. When he mastered the swordsmanship with his left hand, I knew that this battle was inevitable."
Ye Gucheng said: "It shouldn't be avoided."
Lu Xiaofeng understood what the two of them were thinking, but she couldn't understand that he was not such a stubborn person.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Only I know about this matter, there is no news about it in the world."
Ye Gucheng nodded.
The duel between the two of them does not need to be known to everyone. Ximen Chuixue only needs Ye Gucheng's approval. Similarly, Ye Gucheng only needs Ye Gucheng's approval.
Ximen Chuixue’s approval is needed.
Ye Gucheng's first decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City had another purpose, so it spread throughout the world.
Ximen Chuixue is very simple, she just needs to defeat Ye Gucheng and doesn't need anyone to cheer for her.
Lu Xiaofeng's mood was very complicated. The two peerless swordsmen were competing, and everyone practicing martial arts was excited. But both of them were his friends. Although Ye Gucheng didn't have much friendship with him, he just regarded Ye Gucheng as his friend. That's the kind of person he was. You can imagine how he felt.
There was still more than half a year left, so Ximen Chuixue chose this time to explain to himself that it would be the same day a few years later, but this time he was not at the top of the Forbidden City.
Ye Gucheng stayed at Feixian Island, but Ximen Chuixue never stayed at Wanmei Villa honestly.
News of Ximen Chuixue came from Gongsun Lan from time to time.
Gao Tao: The incense master of the three halls in the Fengwei Gang. Charge: Collaborating with the enemy and betraying friends. Predator: Ximen Chuixue. As a result, he fled for twelve days and died in the swamp.
Gu Feiyun: The successor of Bashan Swordsman. Charge: Killing a friend's son, cheating on a friend's wife. Predator: Ximen Chuixue. Result: Fifteen days on the run, died in a busy city.
Liu Qingqing, the heroic heroine of Huainan, and the wife of Xie Jian, the swordsman of Dian Cang. Charges: having sex with women and killing husbands. Predator: Ximen Chuixue. Result: Nineteen days of escape and death in the desert.
"One-armed Divine Dragon" Hai Qikuo. Charge: Killing innocent people. Predator: Ximen Chuixue. Result: Nineteen days on the run, his boat capsized and died at sea.
Ximen Chuixue's left-hand sword was completed, and it caused a bloody storm in the world.
Gongsun Lan asked Ye Gucheng with the message in his hand: "Is he demonstrating to you here?"
Ye Gucheng shook his head and said, "Ximen Chuixue doesn't have such thoughts."
Gongsun Landao: "Then why is he going around killing people when he is not at home preparing for a duel with you?"
Ye Gucheng said: "There is no need for special preparations for the competition between the two of us, and those people are the ones who deserve to be killed. It is not surprising that Ximen Chuixue killed them."
Gongsun Landao: "But these people have nothing to do with him, why would he do this?"
Ye Gucheng said: "Because he is Ximen Chuixue."
Gongsun Lan didn't understand and said, "Then he is also building momentum for himself."
Ye Gucheng laughed and said: "No one else knows about the competition between us, and Lu Xiaofeng is not a talkative person. What kind of momentum does he create? But since he came back to the world, smart people should have thought that we would have a fight, but no one dared to ask him. No one dared to ask me."
Gongsun Lan said to Ye Gucheng: "After the Battle of the Forbidden City, Ximen Chuixue has been living in seclusion at Wanmei Villa and has never appeared in the world again."
Ye Gucheng nodded, this is normal, it would be the same for him.
Gongsun Landao: "Later he got married."
Ye Gucheng was stunned and couldn't help asking: "With whom?"
