Qixia town catches the gods, patrolling the streets will become stronger

Chapter 211 Entering the palace to watch the battle, the top of the Forbidden City

Even though it wasn't the first time he met Ximen Chuixue, Yan Ming couldn't help but admire the other person's temperament, which was so cold and cold that he didn't look like a mortal.

After Yan Ming came in, Ximen Chuixue was still looking at the moon without even looking at him. Only this sword god could act so handsome and natural.

However, Yan Ming took another look at Ximen Chuixue's sword and clearly felt that it contained powerful sword intent but did not reveal its sharp edge. It was hidden and not leaking. It must have been unsheathed for a long time.

It seems that Ximen Chuixue also attaches great importance to the upcoming peak battle with Ye Gucheng and has been raising his sword.

"Why did you guys remember to see me?"

Yan Ming walked over with a smile and said that he and Lu Xiaofeng were old acquaintances at Sikong Zhaixing, so he was not polite.

Sikong Zhaixing said: "I was just idle and bored. Little Phoenix happened to be investigating a case, so I joined in the fun with him."

"Oh? Is there another case?" Yan Ming looked at Lu Xiaofeng.

"Don't mention it, it's another trouble." Lu Xiaofeng looked helpless and then explained the matter simply.

As Lu Xiaofeng narrated, Yan Ming also expressed some surprise.

It turned out that Lu Xiaofeng had been a carefree individual for a period of time since the last separation, spending time with fine wine and beauties every day, but he had been involved in trouble again not long ago.

According to him, Lu Xiaofeng was entrusted by someone not long ago to find a young man who was addicted to gambling and was living nearby. This man was the son of Yu Qilin, the leader of the Western Demon Cult who had fled.

"It is said that Yu Qilin died some time ago, and the position of the leader is temporarily vacant. And this young master of the Western Demon Cult, who is ignorant and incompetent, carries a Rakshasa card, a sacred object of the Demon Cult. Whoever can get this token will be able to According to Yu Qilin's last words, take the position of leader." Sikong Zhaixing answered from the side.

"Not long ago, he was found in a gambling house called Silver Hook Gambling House, but he found a dead man, and the Rakshasa card on his body was also missing. Now the owner of Silver Hook Gambling House, Blue Beard, has trouble with me. The two elders of the Western Demon Sect are also leading people to hunt me down, so the top priority is to find the Rakshasa card." Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but knock his head.

Yan Ming had also heard of the Western Demon Cult.

Although its sphere of influence is not in the Central Plains, its power is indeed not small. There are many experts in the religion. Some people even claim that it is no less powerful than the Yihua Palace and the Sun and Moon God Sect in Central Earth. The leader Yu Qilin is even more unfathomable.

But the plot Lu Xiaofeng mentioned sounded familiar to Yan Ming. It seemed to be the plot of Silver Hook Casino, but it was different. There were some deviations in the plot.

And according to memory, the leader Yu Qilin just faked his death, but in fact there were other conspiracies hidden behind it.

But these have nothing to do with him, Lu Xiaofeng should be able to deal with them easily.

Although he is complaining now, there is actually no trace of pressure on his face.

"Then he..."

Just as Yan Ming was about to ask Ximen Chuixue, the other party spoke first, still staring at the moon and speaking slowly without looking back.

"That guy died in your hands after all?"

Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing may not know who Ximen Chuixue is talking about, but Yan Ming knows clearly that he is referring to Jin Jiuling.

Jin Jiuling's swordsmanship had been highly praised by Ximen Chuixue before, and Ximen Chuixue deliberately kept Jin Jiuling alive, hoping that he would grow up to be his opponent.

It seemed that Ximen Chuixue had known Jin Jiuling's identity for a long time, but he was too lazy to ask. He only cared about whether there was anyone who could relieve his loneliness with swordsmanship.

Yan Ming complained a little in his heart, the master's brain circuit is always different, and Ximen Chuixue's habit of not looking at what he said was the only one he could do so well.

"Yes, if I don't kill him, he will kill me."

"Alas, that's all. The outcome of this battle with Ye Gucheng is yet to be determined."

Ximen Chuixue sighed softly, finally turned around, looked at Yan Ming, looked up and down, and sighed.

"It seems that your strength has improved greatly. Now you are no weaker than me. It would be great if you majored in swordsmanship!"

His tone was full of regret.

Yan Ming heard what it meant, and he was talking about victory or defeat, but in fact, for masters with personalities like Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, this attack was a matter of life and death, and only one person was destined to survive. , and from the tone of voice, Ximen Chuixue seemed not sure of winning.

This is not right. When did Ximen Chuixue's confidence in his own strength waver? Even though Ye Gucheng’s flying immortal is very powerful...

Seeing Yan Ming's slightly confused expression, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing next to him both showed strange expressions.

Sikong Zhaixing came over and whispered to Yan Ming: "Ximen Chuixue recently met a girl from the Emei sect."

"Oh……"

Yan Ming suddenly realized that he had forgotten about this matter.

In his memory, Ximen Chuixue found his true love—Sun Xiuqing, one of the Four Beauties of the Emei Sect—before the battle at the Forbidden City, and she was pregnant with a child.

Speaking of which, Sun Xiuqing had met this person himself. Back in Qixia Town, Sun Xiuqing was following Dugu Yihe and had a chance encounter with him.

Lovers eventually get married, which is of course a good thing for Ximen Chuixue's life, but not necessarily for Ximen Chuixue's swordsmanship.

Ximen Chuixue is nicknamed the Ruthless Sword God. Only by being ruthless and desireless can he maximize his swordsmanship. But now that he is tied up, his strength has declined. No wonder his confidence has declined slightly.

Ximen Chuixue deliberately pretended not to hear what Sikong Zhaixing said, with a cold expression, but his face showed some embarrassment, and he couldn't help coughing, but this cough made it more obvious.

However, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing did not pay attention to him now. Instead, they looked at Yan Ming with more surprise than before, as if they had gotten to know this acquaintance again.

Because Ximen Chuixue said just now that Yan Ming's strength is not weaker than him?

how can that be!

They had only been separated for a total of how long. There were only a handful of masters like Ximen Chuixue in this world. How could Yan Ming enter the country so quickly?

But Ximen Chuixue will never be wrong...

For a moment, even Lu Xiaofeng, who had never been anxious about strength, felt a little complicated.

Lu Xiaofeng was actually extremely talented, otherwise he would not have developed such a unique skill as Lingxi Finger. Even though his strength was inferior to Ximen Chuixue, there were few people in the world who could control him.

But now compared with a monster like Yan Ming, he is quite frustrated.

"Hey, let's not mention this for now. By the way, Brother Yan, I came here this time just to invite you to the palace to watch the battle at the top of the Forbidden City." Lu Xiaofeng extended the invitation.

At the same time, a ribbon appeared in his hand. It was all purple and looked luxurious.

"This was given to me by Wei Ziyun, the commander of the imperial army. On a full moon night, only those holding this ribbon can enter the palace to watch the battle. Brother Yan must come then."

With that said, Lu Xiaofeng handed the scarf to Yan Ming.

Yan Ming did not refuse, took it, looked at it in his hand, and probably understood what Lu Xiaofeng meant.

The number of people who can enter the palace is limited. If this ribbon is placed outside, many people may compete for it. Lu Xiaofeng gave one to herself, treating him as one of her own.

In addition, Yan Ming was not only invited to watch the battle in the past. Now, not to mention Lu Xiaofeng, even Yan Ming has noticed that there is an undercurrent in the capital, and someone may take advantage of this battle to cause trouble.

If anything happens in the palace, Yan Ming can also be a great help to stabilize the situation.

The pinnacle battle between the Ruthless Sword God and the Lord of Baiyun City, a battle of life and death, I believe that no martial artist would not want to watch. Even just watching from a distance would be of great benefit to the advancement of martial arts. Yan Ming immediately nodded and agreed. Of course, Yan Ming could also feel Lu Xiaofeng's entanglement. This battle was not a good thing for him, because Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng were all good friends, and he did not want to see the two of them fighting each other to the death, but he really couldn't persuade them. Live with these two.

Looking back at Ximen Chuixue, dressed in white, he began to stare at the moon outside again, wondering what he was thinking.

Yan Ming couldn't help but feel a bit of urgency from the other party.

Early the next morning, Yan Ming was called to the six doors.

The Holy Envoy Qinglu has been secretly imprisoned, and the nuns of the Hengshan Sect have also been properly placed in the Six Gates to recuperate.

But this incident was not spread to the outside world, so it did not cause any turmoil in the capital.

The heated discussion about Yan Ming in the streets finally subsided, and discussion began again about the upcoming battle at the top of the Forbidden City.

Some people have already started discussing that they saw Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, arriving in the capital.

Only people inside Six Doors knew that after yesterday's incident, Guo Juxia had led people to search the outside of the capital several times overnight. As expected, some sneaky Black Lotus cultists were found here and there, and several small fights broke out. scale battle.

However, the people from the Six Gates were quite inexperienced in facing the Black Lotus Sect. Even if they took action cold-bloodedly, they could not catch anyone alive.

The secret activities of the Black Lotus Sect have added a lot of worries to Guo Juxia's heart.

As soon as Yan Ming walked out after discussing yesterday's situation, he was attracted to Guo Qiangwei again.

Although she was scolded by her father yesterday, Guo Qiangwei fulfilled her dream of being a gangster and escaped while the supervision at home was lax.

Now when he saw Guo Qiangwei, Yan Ming had a headache. He really couldn't stand her noisy temper. Before she got entangled, he directly exerted force on his feet and threw her away in two steps, leaving Guo Qiangwei alone. Pouting angrily.

In the next two days, the six gates became busier and busier, and the capital became more and more lively. However, there was nothing to worry about Yan Ming. He took the opportunity to catch up with Capt. Xing.

It can be seen that Master Lao Xing is doing well in the capital. Compared with other police officers, Lao Xing may not be very strong, but his popularity is not to be said. Under normal circumstances, nothing important comes to his attention. The above only told him some trivial errands. He usually had a lot of free time, even patrolling the streets.

No wonder Yan Ming felt that Lao Xing had gained a lot of weight when he saw him, and the smile on his face became brighter every day. It was because life was so nourishing.

And soon Yan Ming discovered that Lao Xing was not idle when he had free time. Widow Zhang, who was at the end of the alley where he lived, had been flirting with Lao Xing frequently. Yan Ming also encountered her several times helping Lao Xing wash his clothes. Clothes and cooking, as if there is something wrong.

Every time he was bumped into by his apprentice, Lao Xing's expression was extremely unnatural, and he kept coughing to cover up his embarrassment, but the way Widow Zhang looked at Lao Xing with a stringy look said everything.

This also made Yan Ming sigh. It seemed that even after moving from Qixia Town to the capital, the master's taste remained the same and he had a soft spot for widows.

But it's good. Shopkeeper Tong is out of luck, Master has also found his own widow, and everyone has a bright future.

During this period, Yan Ming returned to the post house and saw a thank you gift from Gongsun Auntie placed in the house. It was obviously to thank Yan Ming for keeping his promise and rescuing several members of the Red Shoes and not handing them over to Liu Fan. Door.

Aunt Gongsun also left a special token of her own and an unsigned letter, promising that Yan Ming would not refuse if she was entrusted with anything in the future.

After Yan Ming read it, he used his inner strength to crush the letter into powder. Red Shoes has been active in the capital for many years and has a big tree with deep roots. The reason for selling them this favor must be that it will be useful in the future.

Several days passed by in a hurry.

The moon at night in the capital was finally completely perfect, without any missing parts. The bright moonlight shone on the endless rooftops of the capital, making the night look particularly bright.

Although it was late at night, many people were still awake. At the end of the main road in the city, which could accommodate eight cars side by side, was the majestic palace.

At this moment, Wei Ziyun, as the commander of the Imperial Guards, was busy dispatching his Imperial Guards to ensure the safety of the palace.

In order to cope with the extraordinarily different atmosphere tonight, the palace even mobilized more forbidden troops to prepare for the situation.

Wei Ziyun listened to the reports from his men and was temporarily convinced that there was no unexpected situation and that the palace's defense had not been neglected, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he turned back and inspected the people queuing in front of him one by one.

A well-dressed warrior walked up to Wei Ziyun and handed the purple ribbon in his hand to Wei Ziyun. After checking that it was correct, he registered and verified his identity before putting it into the palace gate and being led to the place to watch the battle.

During this period, Wei Ziyun entrusted Lu Xiaofeng to distribute all the ribbons in the capital. The people who could come here to watch the battle were all famous figures in the world.

Soon, Yan Ming came to Wei Ziyun.

With the ribbon in hand, Wei Ziyun inspected it, and then focused more on Yan Ming, looking up and down.

Obviously Wei Ziyun has heard a lot about Yan Ming's deeds recently.

Today, Yan Ming didn't want to attract too much attention, so he just wore casual clothes, but his temperament was hard to ignore even among a group of distinguished heroes.

After Wei Ziyun looked at it, a smile appeared on his face: "Yan Captou, please."

With that said, he ordered people to take Yan Ming into the palace gate.

Yan Ming observed carefully as he walked over. In his memory, something big was going to happen tonight and it would never be peaceful. But along the way, I didn't notice anything strange.

Stepping forward, Yan Ming's heart skipped a beat when he passed by Wei Ziyun. He turned around and glanced at him one more time, but the strange aura on Wei Ziyun's body disappeared in an instant.

Soon, Yan Ming also came to the open square in the palace. Many people had gathered here, either craning their heads in anticipation of the show or whispering among each other.

Yan Ming looked around again, and found that many forbidden troops and masters had been arranged to guard the area, both covertly and covertly, to prevent them from wandering around.

Looking from here, a majestic palace stands in front of it, with a bright jade-like moon hanging just above the top of it, like a spotlight waiting for the protagonist to appear.

I have to say that this is an excellent viewing angle, except that it’s a bit tiring to raise your head slightly.

Everything seems normal.

Soon, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing also appeared nearby. They saw Yan Ming from a distance and walked over.

The few people had just exchanged a few words when someone suddenly pointed to the roof of the palace.

"Here it comes, that's Ximen Chuixue!"

Everyone followed the sound, and sure enough, a figure dressed in white with flying black hair was already standing lightly on the corner of the eaves.

He appeared quietly, without even a trace of movement in his body. Most people didn't even notice when he appeared. It seemed that he had been standing there from the beginning.

Yan Ming narrowed his eyes, secretly frightened. He is one of the few people present who has a profound knowledge of true meaning. He can clearly feel that the sword power accumulated in Ximen Chuixue has reached its peak at this moment. His whole person seems to be still and moving, like a sword that has been accumulated to the extreme. At this moment It was slightly unsheathed, revealing an astonishing edge.

"Coming, coming, Ye Gucheng is coming too!"

Someone pointed the other way.

Sure enough, the equally fluttering Baiyun City Lord appeared, and like a mortal immortal, he floated horizontally to another cornice under the moonlight, far away from Ximen Chuixue.

Is the life-and-death showdown between the two top swordsmen in the world finally about to begin?

Everyone present became excited.
