Walking in the infinite world

Chapter 195 Hot Potatoes

Chunhua Building in Beijing.

It was around noon.Under normal circumstances, this building should be very lively at this time.Diners who come and go, as well as people from the world, will be here to contribute to the prosperity of the capital.

But today, Chunhua Building is very quiet.It's not that there are no people, in fact Chunhua Building is now full of people.It's just that no one spoke up.

Because at this time Chunhua Building was sitting alone.This man's name is Li Yanbei, and he is the leader of the northern half of the capital.Twenty years ago, Li Yanbei was already the most powerful person in this ancient city.Unlike the mouse in the gutter like King Snake, he is the kind of big man who is upright.

Military officers, bodyguard bureaus, restaurants, money houses.As long as it is a profitable business in the north of the city, there is no one that he does not intervene.In the north of the city, if he stomped his feet, the half of the city would tremble three times.

So, when Li Yanbei sat in the Chunhua Building with a murderous look on his face.The whole Chunhua Building didn't dare to show any atmosphere.But no one was willing to leave.Because everyone knew that if Li Yanbei's state appeared here, something big must have happened.

Recently, big melons have appeared frequently in the arena.Many sensitive diners have realized that maybe they will also witness the birth of a big melon here.

About half an hour later.A person who surprised everyone walked into Chunhua Building.Because that person's name is Du Tongxuan.

If Li Yanbei is the overlord in the north of the city, then Du Tongxuan is the emperor in the south of the city.The two of them have been fighting each other for 20 years.But neither Li Yanbei nor Du Tongxuan has ever stepped into each other's territory.

But today, Du Tongxuan broke this rule.

Li Yanbei's gaze was fixed on Du Tongxuan like a knife's edge.

"If I were you, I would never step in here."

Du Tongxuan "I'm not you, so I'm here."

Li Yanbei: "You shouldn't have come."

Du Tongxuan: "I'm already here."

After the standard Gulong-style conversation, Du Tongxuan opened the chair beside him and sat opposite Li Yanbei.

Li Yanbei looked at Du Tongxuan coldly, with an ugly expression on his face.

"You did the assassination this morning?"

"Yes."

"Then if you still dare to come, you are not afraid that you will not be able to get out?"

"Hehe, since I'm here, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to get out. Seriously, I've come here twice to discuss something with you."

"what's up?"

"September [-]th, the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City. The two of us have placed a heavy bet. But I suddenly felt that maybe our bet was not enough. Do you want to increase your bet?"

Li Yanbei said: "How much more do you want to add?"

Du Tongxuan said: "What else do you have to bet on?"

Li Yanbei said: "I still have 80 taels of silver in the four major banks."

Du Tongxuan said: "Okay, then 80 taels, plus a condition, whoever loses will leave the capital, and will never be able to set foot in the capital again."

The two had already gambled on all their properties in the south and north of the city.Now, the coffin is all on the line again.Such a gamble is rare in a hundred years.Everyone around was stunned by the bet.

After Du Tongxuan finished speaking, he immediately got up and left.Although he looks calm.But this is Li Yanbei's territory after all, he was really afraid that Li Yanbei would go crazy, so he left himself here.

And just after Du Tongxuan left, Li Yanbei waved his hand lightly.Everyone around immediately understood.They didn't leave before, because Li Yanbei didn't chase them away.Now that the other party has chased him away, if he doesn't leave, he will be ignorant of flattery.In the capital, few people are willing to fight against Li Yanbei.

And today, people have heard the shocking melon, so naturally they left contentedly.

After everyone left, Li Yanbei sat motionless on the chair, as if waiting for someone.Not long after, a person sat across from him.That person is obviously Lu Xiaofeng.

He and Li Yanbei have been good friends for many years, but this time Lu Xiaofeng didn't come here to reminisce about the past.

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng sit down, Li Yanbei said in a slightly strange tone.

"You're right, he did raise. Now tell me why? How do you know he's doing it?"

"Hehe, this shows that there are still smart people in the capital. In other words, some things are actually not as rigorous as imagined. Do you know? I may be one of the very few people who don't want to see this contest."

Now Li Yanbei became interested.

"why?"

"Why? Ximen Chuuxue and I are friends. Since we are friends, of course we should look after him. But in reality? In my opinion, this duel is like two dogs fighting for an invisible bone. Even if it is What can I do if I get it?"

"Hehe, false name?"

"That's right, it's just a false name. If he wins this battle, you can take over Du Tongxuan's territory and earn 80 taels of silver for nothing. Those swordsmen watching the battle can see a wonderful show. I can see what unique moves and flaws there are in their swordsmanship. Only the two people in the competition can't get anything. But they have to pay the price with their lives. Isn't this a false name?"

A strange light flashed in Li Yanbei's eyes, as if he knew Lu Xiaofeng for the first time.

"It's their own fight, you know. No one is forcing them, and no one can force them."

But after hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng smiled contemptuously.

"No one can force you? Li Yanbei, you think highly of these two so-called peerless swordsmen."

Said that Lu Xiaofeng picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it vigorously.But Li Yanbei had an incredible expression on his face.

"What do you mean, you mean that this duel was not voluntary, but someone secretly manipulated it?"

"Hehe, otherwise you thought Du Tongxuan would suddenly decide to increase the stake? In this world, no one dares to say who will win between the two of them. Why did he dare to place such a heavy bet?"

"No, no way. I thought he raised because of the tip."

"Ye Gucheng was hit by a Tang Sect hidden weapon?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, since it's gossip, don't believe it. Although I don't think too much of the two peerless swordsmen. But I don't think so much. If the head of the Tang Sect in the middle of Shu personally took action, I can believe that Ye Gucheng was poisoned. But Tang The eldest son of the door is still a little far away."

Li Yanbei seemed to have been confused by the complicated situation of this matter.

"Then what is going on with this incident? Who is the envoy of a certain empress, and what will be the result?"

"I do not know."

"You don't know? Then you still say so much?"

"You see, I already know so much. But I still don't know what will happen. What does this mean? The power of the people behind the scenes is far greater than you and me. Yanbei, listen to me. Don't get involved in this matter. Maybe People in the rivers and lakes call you the northern half of the city. But if you really think so, then you are not far from death. By the way, ignore Du Tongxuan. He is not far from death."

That night, Du Tongxuan died at his home, which verified what Lu Xiaofeng said.However, Li Yanbei, who was in the capital, did not show any surprise at all.

"It seems that King Pingnan is not secretive enough, and we have to help him clean up his tail. What does the Lord say?"

"The lord sent a message, let us completely cut off these rumors, we must ensure the smooth progress of the contest. But now, Lu Xiaofeng seems to have noticed something."

"Well, Lu Xiaofeng is extremely smart, since he has already noticed it, and he doesn't want Ximen Chuuxue to make a move, then he will definitely find a way to sabotage this contest. Find something for him to do, and don't let him delay the master's plan. "

"Yes."

If Lu Xiaofeng knew, after Li Yanbei also joined the Azure Dragon Society, what kind of expression would he have.In fact, Lu Xiao didn't completely aim at Lu Xiaofeng.The main reason is that most of the friends he made are very suitable for the development of the Azure Dragon Club.So there was a feeling that Lu Xiao was targeting Lu Xiaofeng exclusively.Regarding this, Lu Xiao said that this was really not intentional.

Lu Xiao actually didn't want to see Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue die.He is a man who cherishes money very much.He didn't want to see the death of the two talented swordsmen, no matter which one died, because it would be a loss to the Central Plains martial arts.And Lu Xiao now regards the Central Plains martial arts as his own private property.

However, in order to promote the plan, King Pingnan still needs to be able to proceed smoothly.

Late at night, Jin Jiuling quietly appeared at Lu Xiao's residence.

"It seems that you have gained something."

"It's the lord. I've already found out King Pingnan's plan. He plans to exchange fakes for real ones. King Pingnan has a very rare son, who is almost exactly the same as His Majesty Zhang today. And King Pingnan knows this After the incident, Shizi was given a secret training to let him learn every word and deed of the grandson.

He had already bribed Wang An, the great eunuch next to the emperor.Wang An was familiar with the emperor's every move, and the two sides cooperated to create a second emperor almost out of thin air.

On the day of the decisive battle on September [-]th, the defenses in the palace must be lax.At that time, Ye Gucheng will arrange for his substitute to play.He himself sneaked into the palace and assassinated the emperor.Afterwards, Prince Pingnan was replaced.Unknowingly, he controlled the throne in his own hands. "

Lu Xiao knew about this plan a long time ago, but he didn't know the specific details.He waited for Jin Jiuling to send him news, more to test Jin Jiuling's loyalty.

Judging from this report, Jin Jiuling's loyalty is not bad.This is a smart man, and he won't have any other thoughts for the time being until he is fully sure.

"Very good, let me ask you now. How is Prince Pingnan's martial arts?"

"On the rivers and lakes, you can barely enter the first class."

"That should be no problem for you. You find a chance and take a shot secretly. Blind him in one eye."

Jin Jiuling's complexion changed, and he looked at Lu Xiao with an incredulous look.He always thought that Lu Xiao wanted King Pingnan to succeed, and then the oriole was behind.But I didn't expect that Lu Xiao was ready to make a move now.

"Well, my subordinates will have no problem dealing with Prince Pingnan, or even any of the retainers of Pingnan Palace. But the Lord of Baiyun City, I am afraid that my subordinates will not be able to deal with it."

Jin Jiuling is a very proud person. If the facts are not unmistakable, it is absolutely impossible for him to admit that he is inferior to Ye Gucheng.It seems that these days, during the days in the palace, he has already tried.

"This is indeed a problem, do you need me to help you find a solution?"

"Your subordinate will do it now." Jin Jiuling stepped back sweating profusely.As soon as his little thoughts showed the tip of the iceberg, Lu Xiao ruthlessly smashed them to pieces. How could he dare to stay by Lu Xiao's side at this time.

On the other side, Lu Xiaofeng also encountered trouble.Because he just discovered a very serious problem, the so-called omniscient Dazhi Datong is dead.It wasn't until this time that Lu Xiaofeng realized that Guisunzi and Dazhi Datong were the same person.Of course, he has always doubted this point, but he has never been sure, and he doesn't want to be sure.

Because Lu Xiaofeng has always been a very disciplined person.He knows the rules of Dazhi Datong, so he always abides by the rules when asking for help.This is one of the reasons why he was able to make a lot of friends.In Jianghu, these information dealers, doctors and other roles, most people would not attack them.But this time, someone obviously made an exception.

Lu Xiaofeng's progress was interrupted again.And when he returned to the capital, he hadn't had time to carry out the next round of investigation.Just ran into trouble.

Four people approached us.They are Xiaoxiang Swordsman Wei Ziyun, Desert Eagle Tu Fang, Star Picker Ding Ao, and the last one is Yin Xian.These four are the four masters in Ouchi today.Four people appeared together.Lu Xiaofeng felt that he was in trouble.

He wanted to leave very much, but he also knew that the will of these four people might not allow him to leave.And although Lu Xiaofeng is very confident in his martial arts.But in the face of these four people, it is also somewhat powerless.The key is that there is an honest monk looking at him with a smile next to them.This made Lu Xiaofeng abruptly stop the thought of turning around and running.

Facts have proved that these four people really did not have good things looking for him.Because they gave Lu Xiaofeng the hottest job in the world.

"For the decisive battle of NO.15, we believe that no more than eight people should enter the Forbidden City. Except for the two swordsmen, only six people can enter at most. And the selection of these six people will trouble Daxia Lu.

Here are six ribbons, they are a great treasure, from Persia.It will change color and glow under the moonlight, which is difficult to imitate on the market.Whoever Lu Daxia thinks is qualified to enter the game will give him a ribbon.On the day of the decisive battle, anyone who dares to trespass into the Forbidden City without a ribbon will be killed. "

Lu Xiaofeng's face collapsed at that moment.

"So, those who can't get in, don't they want to spread their grievances on me?"

"Yes."

"Then why would I take this job?"

"Of course Daxia Lu doesn't have to pick it up. But we are also responsible. On the night of the decisive battle, all those who trespassed in the Forbidden City were traitors. At that time, the city defense army will be mobilized, and under ten thousand arrows, Ye Gucheng will be handed over to everyone including the Lord Baiyun. , How about beheading them together?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "...I'll take this job. But why must it be me?"

"Because you are Lu Xiaofeng."

Lu Xiaofeng: "This is the first time I'm not proud of this name."
