Chapter 298 Ye Gucheng Appears
Xue Bing's carriage was still there, so Lu Xiaofeng drove Xue Bing's carriage and took Sikong Zhaixing all the way to Lingnan.
Su Shaoying did not follow. After all, he promised Lu Xiaofeng to stay here and wait for Xue Bing. Since he accepted the favor, he had to wait for a day no matter what.
What happened in Bixia Temple is not a famous scene, as long as you don't miss Lu Xiaofeng's sword strike against Ye Gucheng in Prince Pingnan's Mansion.
In the original work, Lu Xiaofeng sent Sikong Zhaixing to Bixia Nunnery, only to realize that Sikong Zhaixing and Xue Bing had conspired to deceive her. Sikong Zhaixing was not poisoned, and the person who sent the red satin to Bixia Nunnery was Xue Bing.
Then, Sikong Zhaixing escaped, Jiang Chongwei and Jiang Qingxia appeared, Xue Bing appeared, and finally Lu Xiaofeng tested him, which made Jiang Qingxia reveal her flaw and flew away.
Jiang Qingxia was wearing red shoes, and Jiang Chongwei finally remembered that the embroidery thief was also wearing red shoes!
"Xue Bing cooperated with Sikong Zhaixing because she saw that the red satin was the red shoe upper of the Red Shoe Organization. She probably thought that this matter was related to the Red Shoe Organization, so she took active action."
"Jiang Qingxia is the fifth child of the Red Shoes organization. She is also Jiang Chongwei's unmarried daughter-in-law and nominal sister. She was able to get close to Jiang Chongwei and steal the key to the palace's treasure house, so she was suspected by Lu Xiaofeng."
Of course, the above was Jin Jiuling's conspiracy, and Xue Bing was a surprise, but his purpose was to make Lu Xiaofeng suspect the boss of the Red Shoes organization, Gongsun Aunt, through Jiang Qingxia.
Lu Xiaofeng did suspect that he was involved with the Red Shoes organization, so he was so excited when he knew that the Snake King was going to deal with Aunt Gongsun, and took the initiative to do it for her.
By the way, speaking of the Snake King, this man is the underground king of Yangcheng in Lingnan. Most of the fugitives, thieves, and thugs in Yangcheng... all work for him.
After Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing came out of Bixia Temple, they went to Yangcheng to find the Snake King, and got the design of Pingnan Palace from him. Then Lu Xiaofeng entered the palace alone, and Xue Bing disappeared.
"Xue Bing still needs to be saved. Although her methods are a bit cruel, she is not a bad person anyway. It is indeed a bit unjust to die at the hands of Jin Jiuling."
"But how to save..." Su Shaoying rubbed her chin and fell into deep thought.
…
After eating two more meals and drinking two more drinks in Jushengyuan, Su Shaoying went south leisurely. He didn't have to be as anxious as Lu Xiaofeng. After all, Lu Xiaofeng not only took a detour, but also had to wait for the topographic map of the palace. and patrol time route map.
"Who is here? What's important?"
"Emei Su Shaoying, come to see Manager Jin."
Su Shaoying waited for a while at the entrance of the palace, and then Jin Jiuling, Hua Manlou and Shi Xiuxue came together.
"I was hired as the new manager of the palace just a few days ago. How did you find out so quickly?" Jin Jiuling said with a smile.
"Although the Emei Sect's news channels are not very wide, such important news will not be missed." Su Shaoying looked at Hua Manlou and Shi Xiuxue, "I just didn't expect you to come back so soon."
Hua Manlou said, "Chang Mantian is an old Jianghu. He has already said everything he noticed. I couldn't find out anything no matter how much I asked, so I came to meet Manager Jin."
Shi Xiuxue's face didn't look good, and she couldn't help but nod. It was the first time for her to see thirty-six blind men at once, and it didn't feel good.
But because of this, she can better appreciate the extraordinary features of Hua Man Lou.
"Where is Lu Xiaofeng?" Jin Jiuling asked.
"I guess he has entered Yangcheng." Su Shaoying told the story of how he and Lu Xiaofeng met in Hangzhou. "Sikong Zhaixing went to steal the red satin from his hand and was poisoned. I waited for Xue Bing for a day and then he Set off over here.”
Hua Manlou frowned, "Why is Sikong Zhaixing involved?"
】
Jin Jiuling also felt that it was a bit tricky, "This king of king thieves is not easy to deal with. Could it be that he and the embroidery thief are also on the same team?"
"But since he hasn't succeeded yet, why was he silenced by the people behind the scenes?" Hua Manlou asked curiously.
"Maybe Lu Xiaofeng will tell us the answer." Jin Jiuling thought for a while and said, "Now that he has entered Yangcheng, he should come to us soon."
Hua Manlou couldn't help but smile, "But he may not take the main entrance like Brother Su."
"Lu Xiaofeng is coming?"
The person who spoke was a stranger, and his ethereal voice had a hint of indifference, as if everything was in his mind.
Su Shaoying turned around and saw a middle-aged man with fair face and slight beard.
Dressed in white and holding a long sword with a black scabbard, Su Shaoying might really suspect that he was Ximen Chuixue if he didn't look at his face or listen to his voice.
Jin Jiuling and Hua Manlou could still maintain their magnanimity, but a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Shi Xiuxue's eyes.
"Su Shaoying?" The man in white looked at Su Shaoying and asked indifferently.
"Su Shaoying has met the Lord of Baiyun City." Su Shaoying turned around and cupped her hands, laughing loudly, "I have long heard that the Lord of Baiyun City is like the white clouds in the sky, swaying without form, and his sword is like a flying fairy. Today, when I see him, he is indeed well-deserved. I am truly lucky. I admire him. !”
Everyone, "..."
But Ye Gucheng was Ye Gucheng after all, and he didn't lose his composure. He still asked coldly, "How is Master Dugu doing lately?"
"As I get older, I can hardly lift the sword anymore." Su Shaoying said seriously.
Ye Gucheng finally couldn't stand it anymore, "But Shi Xiuxue said that your master is still the top swordsman in the world."
"The little girl just wants to save face. Who doesn't think their family is amazing?" Su Shaoying said with a smile.
Ye Gucheng looked at Su Shaoying, then at the sword in his hand, "Are you afraid that I will go to duel with your master?"
Su Shaoying shook his head and answered irrelevantly, "The Prince of Pingnan is your apprentice, and the chief guard of the Shu Palace is my uncle. Is it inappropriate for you to duel with my master?"
"Things in the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with the court." Ye Gucheng said lightly.
"In that case, you should not go to my master even more." Su Shaoying said.
Ye Gucheng asked, "Why?"
"If you are looking for trouble with the Shu King for the Pingnan King, my master will definitely take it, but if not..."
Su Shaoying blinked and said, "My master's goal is to revitalize Emei, and your goal is to reach the peak of swordsmanship. The two of you have different goals and pursuits, and you may not have a common language. What's the point of dueling?"
Ye Gucheng was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
Jin Jiuling's eyes flickered, Hua Manlou smiled, and Shi Xiuxue was a little angry and relieved at the same time.
Ye Gucheng looked at Jin Jiuling, "Is Lu Xiaofeng coming?"
Jin Jiuling nodded, "With Lu Xiaofeng's character, if he comes to Yangcheng, he will definitely test the guards of the palace in person and look for clues about the Embroidered Thief."
"I know." A light flashed in Ye Gucheng's eyes, and he turned and left.
Su Shaoying stroked his chin, "He doesn't want to test Lu Xiaofeng's telepathy, does he?"
Jin Jiuling nodded, a gloating look flashed in his eyes, but his face pretended to be deep, "I think so."
Shi Xiuxue asked Hua Manlou, "Aren't you worried about Lu Xiaofeng?"
Hua Manlou shook his head and smiled, "He will definitely take it."
