"Are you out of your mind?!"
"It's none of my business. I didn't copy it. I'm just responsible for posting it and getting a share of the profits afterwards."
Lu Xiaofeng was so angry that she wanted to use her Lingxi Finger to poke a hole in his forehead.
"Don't be angry. Ximen Chuixue seems even angrier than you. What's going on?"
Upon hearing Sikong Zhaixing's reminder, Lu Xiaofeng carefully observed Ximen Chuixue's expression and indeed saw anger in his eyes.
It was the kind of anger that arises from extreme disappointment!
Why did Ximen Chuixue feel angry in the face of Ye Gucheng?
A flash of inspiration struck Lu Xiaofeng, and he almost grasped the crux of the problem.
However, at that moment, Ximen Chuixue's voice suddenly rang out.
"Let today's duel end here!"
"You... are not worthy to make me draw my sword!"
next moment.
A violent uproar erupted in front of the once quiet palace!
Everyone waited all night, but the duel ended abruptly instead of starting!
Ximen Chuixue's behavior was even stranger; if he wasn't going to fight, he wasn't going to fight, but why did he start insulting people?
What do you mean you're not worthy of my drawing my sword?
He doesn't even fight, just spouts some inexplicable harsh words. Is this the kind of vision a Sword God should have?
Ye Gucheng panicked when he saw that Ximen Chuixue was about to leave.
But he only took one step forward when a whooshing sound rang out.
Lu Xiaofeng saw two white lights flash in the darkness, shooting towards Ye Gucheng.
hidden weapon!
"careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Gucheng trembled, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
He fell off the roof and crashed hard onto the ground.
The sudden accident stunned everyone.
Ye Gucheng died just like that?
"Nobody is allowed to move!"
With a dark expression, Wei Ziyun walked to Ye Gucheng's corpse and ordered all the Imperial Guards to seal off the scene and find out who had attacked Ye Gucheng.
How could the dignified Ye Gucheng die so inexplicably in this place? Where would he put his face?
Lu Xiaofeng was equally shocked. He stepped forward to examine Ye Gucheng's corpse, but was blocked by Ximen Chuixue, who was dressed in white.
He looked at Ximen Chuixue in confusion, and the latter whispered in his ear, "He's a fake."
fake?
Ye Gucheng is a fake!
Lu Xiaofeng recalled the anger that Ximen Chuixue had shown in his eyes earlier and suddenly realized that Ximen Chuixue was angry because it was a fake Ye Gucheng who had come to duel with him!
In order to prevent Ximen Chuixue from revealing that Ye Gucheng was fake, Lu Xiaofeng quickly grabbed his arm, and the two walked to the edge of the crowd.
Lu Xiaofeng asked, "How did you know he was a fake?"
“Sword energy and sword intent.” Ximen Chuixue explained, “At first glance, the sword energy on his body is quite remarkable, but it lacks the support of sword intent. You can’t feel any of the ethereal mystery of a celestial being descending from the heavens. It must have been simulated using a special technique.”
Lu Xiaofeng said, "Don't tell anyone else yet."
Ximen Chuixue asked, "Is that important?"
Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Very important!"
Ximen Chuixue nodded slightly, then fell silent. Since his friend said it was important, then so be it.
Lu Xiaofeng pushed through the crowd again, walked to Ye Gucheng's corpse, and said to Wei Ziyun, "May I examine his body?"
Wei Ziyun said, "Others may not be able to, but you, Lu Xiaofeng, can."
"Thank you." Lu Xiaofeng squatted down and began to examine Ye Gucheng's corpse.
Strangely, he didn't check the wounds, but instead kept groping the corpse's neck.
After a long while, Lu Xiaofeng seemed to have touched something and stood up. His face was terribly ugly. He had confirmed that Ye Gucheng was a fake, and naturally, he had also confirmed all the doubts in his heart.
"Commander Wei, where is the Emperor now?"
"His Majesty is in the Imperial Study. There's no need to bother him with such a trivial matter, is there?"
"Well, since Commander Wei says so, then let's leave it at that."
Wei Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief. If the emperor knew that he had failed in his duties and caused such a big mess, his official career would probably be severely tarnished.
Lu Xiaofeng gazed at the location of the Imperial Study, his whole body trembling slightly. He had indeed uncovered a shocking conspiracy, but he chose to say nothing.
It has nothing to do with the common people.
He, Lu Xiaofeng, cannot bear such a heavy responsibility.
He only hoped that his good friend could walk out of the palace alive...
I'd do anything, even if it meant tearing a hole in the sky.
Royal study room.
The emperor was standing by the window, gazing at the bright full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival that night.
Having deployed so many assassins and emptied most of his savings, he felt increasingly uneasy.
After a moment, he muttered to himself with a self-deprecating tone, "It's really my inner demons at work."
outside the house.
A sword light arrived with incredible speed, like a celestial being descending from the heavens, amidst clear blue skies and white clouds, flawless and immaculate.
The emperor couldn't even react, let alone dodge.
Just as the sword was about to pierce the emperor.
The imperial study resounded with the roar of dragons!
"Hahaha, I have the protection of the dragon vein. You lowly people, why don't you kneel down and accept your death!"
Chapter 196 Blood Feud! Your Highness, spare my life!
196.
The imperial study was filled with dragon-shaped golden energy, which easily blocked Ye Gucheng's celestial flight.
It would be shocking if this got out.
Everyone knows that while the "Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens" sword technique may not be the most lethal, it is certainly the most difficult to defend against.
No martial art has yet appeared that can perfectly defend against a celestial being descending from the heavens.
Ye Gucheng missed his attack and appeared in the imperial study.
"I never expected it to be you..."
The emperor's face was full of surprise; he couldn't imagine what reason Ye Gucheng would have to kill him.
"The legend of the dragon's aura is actually true! The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were indeed protected by the nation's destiny!"
Although the assassination plan failed, Ye Gucheng was not flustered at all. Instead, he asked curiously, "Is the legend that the emperor can use dragon energy to cultivate true?"
The emperor said, "Whether it's true or false, you won't be leaving the palace today anyway. The Imperial Guards will be here soon."
Ye Gucheng laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I am also very curious. Where are your Imperial Guards? How come we were able to take them so easily?"
The emperor frowned slightly and asked, "Us?"
Ye Gucheng said, "Knowing about the existence of dragon energy, we naturally need to make more preparations."
Two figures slowly emerged from behind Ye Gucheng. The emperor recognized the first person as Chief Steward Wang, but the second person greatly surprised him.
That was a man who looked exactly like him!
"Who are you?"
"I am His Majesty."
"Nonsense!"
The emperor was furious. These treacherous officials had been plotting this for a long time, and they had even found someone to replace him. Their plan was very meticulous and was not something that had been planned overnight.
"Haha, just a little joke with Your Majesty, please don't be offended."
"I am the heir apparent to the Prince of Pingnan. I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers me?"
