Chapter 68 Survival +68
Lu Xiaofeng's mind was throbbing, seeing Zheng Lai thinking quickly.
If it is discovered, not only will the face be torn apart today, but I am afraid that no evidence will be found, and it will also scare the snake.
At this critical moment, there was a slight 'creak' sound from the bushes outside, and King Pingnan paused: "Who?!"
A shadow flashed across the bushes, very swiftly, and there was no answer yet. Isn't this suspicious just by looking at it?
indeed so.At least that's what King Pingnan thought at the moment.
He was so startled that he almost stood up from the ground. He immediately pointed to the place and said, "Quick! Go and see what's going on!"
He was really excited. In fact, those guards had already gone to investigate, and even answered directly: "Return to the prince, it is a pure black cat!"
"What? A cat?", King Pingnan was dubious, "Really? It's just a Sijihao?"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, the guard used martial arts to pull the cat out as if cheating, grabbed the joint of its forelimbs, and pulled it up from the ground until it became so long that its hind legs were still on the ground.
King Pingnan: "..."
He was very speechless, stunned for a moment, waved his hand to signal them to throw the cat out, and then pushed the door open without hesitation!
It was dark in the room, and there was no one there.It was as if he had just imagined that someone was in the room.
It should be an illusion.King Pingnan was a little relieved, and then he walked in. He looked around, and lifted the curtains that were easy to hide people, etc., and touched the bed—there was still warmth from his own lying on it.He pressed something, opened the small hidden compartment on the side of the bed, and flipped through it at will, only then was he really relieved.
He put the things back, closed the secret compartment, went out and closed the door, and asked the guards to keep the place safe again.
Lu Xiaofeng touched his back, only felt it was chilly, the short confrontation just now made him break out in a cold sweat nervously.
Just now, he was there.He was behind the curtain beside the bed, not behind the screen, nor in the cabinet or under the bed, but behind the curtain beside the bed. He held his breath and quietly walked around to avoid being discovered by King Pingnan.
At that time, King Pingnan was only a little over a foot away from him, and anyone who is close can be called close to the face.
Even people with low martial arts will feel a sense of being watched when they are looked at so close, not to mention that King Pingnan doesn't know any martial arts at all.
Lu Xiaofeng is not a professional killer, at this moment his heart rate is gradually accelerating, and he can hear the powerful beating sound of 'dongdong' in his ears.
He held his breath and didn't dare to make a sound, pretending that he was a tree stump by the side of the road, and he would not have any reaction or response when he was hit by a rabbit.
Slowly, slowly, he quietly raised his hand to hold his heart, feeling the faster heartbeat due to holding his breath, and felt that Chu Liuxiang should come—Chu Liuxiang can breathe through the skin, so there is no need to worry about the heartbeat Do you want to expose/expose yourself such problems?
Fortunately, King Pingnan immediately left to go to the guest room after checking the things in the dark compartment at the head of the bed, wanting to check whether the four guests were in his room.
Lu Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard these words, he was so frightened that he almost flew up in place!
It has not been discovered yet, but the task of forging documents has not been completed yet - those evidences are enough for Pingnan King to be demoted to a commoner, and even lose his life!
But the room over there also needs him to appear immediately, presumably according to the plan, Yan Ting has almost delayed, but the only chance is this time...
Lu Xiaofeng let out another long breath, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
*
On the other side, King Pingnan had already reached the courtyard door of the guest room, he stopped there, looked at Helian Chunshui at the door in the distance who had just stopped at the door and knocked on Lu Xiaofeng's door, and saw Yan Ting and Su Mengzhen again. I feel a little better.
At first glance, the guests seemed to be well-mannered and did not act out of the ordinary.He waved to the guards who noticed him, and some guards quickly came over to tell him that no one had gone out.
But anyone with excellent lightness kungfu can quietly investigate in the current palace, but only someone with advanced martial arts can find out if someone has gone out.
If Jiang Chongwei was in the Pingnan Palace in the past, they would not have been able to achieve their goal so easily - now that Jiang Chongwei has been healed and his eyes have not been rushed back, after all he does not know that Yan Ting is going here, and the latter's speed It has already far exceeded the speed of the former.
The above reasons allow them to achieve their goals so easily.And King Pingnan's act of inviting them to the banquet this time was just pushing himself into the fire pit, and it was really difficult to get himself out... Or rather, it was he who ruined his own future.
If only Helian Chunshui was alone, I'm afraid he would not be able to achieve his goal with that simple and crude plan.It was also because King Pingnan was self-righteous, and he thought he could control it, but he couldn't change his thinking for a while: he thought that Prince Pingnan's mansion was an iron wall.
Helian Chunshui rejoiced, but at the same time hoped that such a situation would not happen again—isn't it good to be an idle prince?Not everyone can be a good emperor, they have all been trained for a long time.
He saw King Pingnan at the gate of the courtyard, so King Pingnan couldn't stay at the gate anymore, walked in and greeted each other and said, "You guys are all resting here? Did you hear anything?"
"Indeed, it has been here all the time." Helian Chunshui nodded, "Little nephew heard that the prince's house seems to be running out of water?" I'm done.
King Pingnan smiled, which seemed very perfunctory, because the smile didn't reach his eyes.The emotion in his eyes was very cold, and there was still a little scrutiny, and he asked in a flat tone: "You don't think it's weird, do you want to check it?"
"In order not to worry the prince, my nephew thinks it's better for the rest of us to stay here and not cause trouble for you. After all, why does the palace lack servants to put out the fire?"
Helian Chunshui smiled slightly, warming like a spring breeze: "What's more, there are two drunks here, and my nephew also drank a lot of wine, and his mind is not sober, so it's really hard to show up. In front of everyone, I hope the prince will forgive me."
The implication is that going to help put out the fire will cause suspicion and make the guards even more busy, so it's better to stay still.If you go to find the visitor who really set the fire.If he couldn't find it, wouldn't it give the prince doubt?
King Pingnan was very satisfied when he heard this, and the suspicions of the few people in his heart immediately decreased a lot. He only felt that the few people could restrain his chivalrous heart and not move. The little general had already given special instructions.
Moreover, isn't this the person he invited over?When he thinks this way, coupled with their words and actions, the doubts in his heart are relieved by five points, but...
"Master Lu, this is..." He hesitated to speak, leaving room for them to explain.
Of the remaining five points, two points are necessary doubts, and three points are temporary doubts brought about by the fact that the door of the house is not opened.
Helian Chunshui slammed on the door again, much harder than before, as if he was afraid that he would get angry and be held accountable, and wanted to call Lu Xiaofeng out quickly.
The expression on his face remained the same, he was still smiling, he looked extremely amiable, with a bit of not-so-obvious respect: "There are rumors in the world that Lu Xiaofeng is not drunk for a thousand cups and has a good capacity for alcohol. It's not a lie, it's just that he seems very happy today. , I also drank a lot earlier, the prince's wine that I want to come to is very good, so he can't control it and drink more, so I can't react in time, I hope the prince forgives... Maybe he is still asleep. "
When he said these words, he pretended to think about it, and several breaths passed after he finished speaking.King Pingnan didn't look too angry when he heard it, he narrowed his eyes slightly as he stared at the door, but still smiled: "My nephew said..."
Yan Ting's ears moved slightly, as if he heard something, Helian Chunshui's smile was also mixed with sincerity.The door opened suddenly, and Lu Xiaofeng leaned against the door after opening it: "Why... ah, it's the prince, please forgive me for being rude..."
Su Mengzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xiaofeng, who was still forging evidence after King Pingnan left, hastily forged it, rushed back with Qinggong, sneaked into the room to change clothes, quickly tore off the neckline to disguise, and pretended to be drunk.
After dealing with Zheng Lai and Ping Nanwang to send him away, Lu Xiaofeng turned around and rolled his eyes.
Seeing that several people were looking at him, he pulled his face and made a grimace, which was so funny that it made people laugh. The originally very serious occasion immediately became relaxed under his mobilization.
...and also relieved.
The few of them knew in an instant that the plan was successful. Although there would be no risk of exposure in a short period of time, they had to quickly carry out the next plan.
Otherwise, they would be discovered sooner or later, and they couldn't afford to bet on what kind of insane things King Pingnan would do.Among the few people, Helian Chunshui's thoughts were the most serious. Even Su Mengzhen, who had been recuperating from illness all year round, couldn't compare to him in this matter.
Helian Chunshui sighed in his heart.
Is the emperor really that good?
Are any of these guys who want to usurp the throne really talented and capable of being emperor?
Now that the Song Dynasty is surrounded by wolves, what is needed is an emperor like today who is good at accepting advice and willing to change, not these bastards who only have prosperity, wealth and supreme power in their minds.
He was really angry, his thoughts became more and more extreme, and his mood became more and more unpleasant.
In the end, he turned over and pulled the quilt to recharge his batteries for tomorrow's 'hard battle'.
*
The next day, Baiyun City.
Ye Gucheng promised to help You Longsheng, see the flaws in his sword practice, and help him improve his swordsmanship, so naturally he will not break his promise, he always keeps his word.He asked You Longsheng to dance his sword at the place where he usually trained - the seaside - as before, mainly to see once again how his sword skills have improved compared to yesterday.
As for why you choose the beach?
It's because the beach here is not very smooth, which can not only magnify the flaws in the sword technique, but also see You Longsheng's lightness skills.
Lightness kung fu is very important to a swordsman, and it is a major foundation for whether one can use the essence of swordsmanship.Moreover, it is easy to improve on this kind of ground.
You Longsheng's sword is very beautiful, even though he is a man, but his posture of holding the sword and dancing with swordsmanship is indeed as described in "Luo Shen Fu": as light as a frightened bird, as graceful as a wandering dragon.
Another sentence in it, "It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the flowing wind" is also in line with his current posture.
In the past, You Longsheng was also a young swordsman who drew his sword whenever he disagreed with him. He was inexperienced and his tone was not small.At that time, his swordsmanship was not heavy compared to his aura, and the subtlety of his swordsmanship was not reflected, which could be said to be full of flaws in the eyes of a master.
After spending more time with Yan Ting, his heart gradually calmed down, and he gradually calmed down.Compared with murderous aura, his sword is still more contradictory and harmonious in the combination of softness and strength, which is quite shocking.
Rather, it was precisely because his heart gradually calmed down that he was able to dance such a beautiful sword technique.
Ye Gucheng is different from the cold blood who likes to hold a sword. He is used to hanging a sword on his waist, so after watching You Longsheng use a round of swordsmanship, he immediately stepped forward with the sword and gave him moves.
Chu Liuxiang, who was allowed to watch, uses his palm as a weapon, and is not good at using weapons. He also knows a lot of moves that use his strength to attack. Two close friends, one does not use weapons and the other uses the unpopular judge's pen. It can be said that he is very good at swordsmanship. Not to say that all six apertures are connected, but it can only be said that both apertures are connected.
But he thought that there was nothing he could do left and right, and it was not that he had never been to Baiyun City—because there was his family’s property here, he knew nothing about Baiyun City except for its military strength and defense. He didn't even understand the lonely city.
So he came to watch after all. After all, his martial arts is high enough. It is not bad for him to see the flaws in the swordsmanship of the swordsman.
His eyesight was pretty good, and the two sword practitioners didn't pay him any attention, so he himself saw the person who reported the message first.
Chu Liuxiang saw that the person should be someone from the city lord's mansion—people who are not from the city lord's mansion would not know about this place—and signaled the person who had clearly come to look for Ye Gucheng to stop first, after all, their city lord was still feeding You Longsheng. .
The man didn't seem to be in a hurry, he stopped and waited obediently.
Chu Liuxiang couldn't help thinking, in fact, he might not be able to tell if he was in a hurry, after all, this person's expression was too cold, his face was so stern, that he couldn't see his mood at all, it can be said that he didn't show any embarrassment at all. on the surface.
On the contrary, Ye Gucheng had more energy, he saw the person who came to report the letter almost immediately, of course he was familiar with the people in his house, he nodded to the person, his hands stopped slowly, and even guided You Longsheng stopped.
This was the reason why they met Helian Chunshui in the City Lord's Mansion.
Helian Chunshui looked very serious: "I will only break up with Lord Ye."
