"There are actually so many great masters and grand masters watching the competition!"
Yaoyue said in surprise.
Chen Yipin said:
"It's normal! There are quite a few competitions in the arena, but like last night, there were very few people competing on swordsmanship. Most of them were just competing on internal strength and martial arts skills."
"So that's one of the reasons for people to go and watch."
"In addition, this is a competition between the Sword God and the Sword Immortal. This must be very exciting in everyone's eyes. They all want to learn something from it, so there are so many masters going there."
Chen Yipin's guess is right.
If Chen Yipin guessed correctly, Tianji Tower had the same idea, so he used the Jianghu Daily to publicize the matter vigorously, letting many Jianghu people watch it.
At this time, Bai Zhantang came over carrying a teapot.
"Hey, Yipin, you guys are watching Jianghu Daily! How about it, who wins between the Sword God and the Sword Immortal?"
Bai Zhantang asked with a casual look.
It seemed like a casual question, but his eyes kept glancing at the Jianghu Daily on the table.
Chen Yipin said with a smile:
"I don't know yet. Only then did I see how many Jianghu people came to watch the competition."
"Are there many people? Oh, that's true. There are many people watching the competition between the Sword God and the Sword Immortal."
Bai Zhantang poured a cup of tea for Chen Yipin and Yaoyue each.
"Well, Jianghu Daily said there are probably more than five thousand people!"
"so much!"
Bai Zhantang thought there were a lot of people, probably only a few hundred people, but he didn't expect there to be so many people.
"My dear, if this is a rebellion...ahem, what did you say behind that?"
Bai Zhantang realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the topic.
The three of them looked back.
"The time has not yet come, and the Sword God Ximen Chuixue has already appeared on the top of the Forbidden City."
"Everyone's eyes are on Ximen Chuixue."
"Many good people took advantage of this moment to place bets on Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng."
"According to Jianghu Daily, there are more than 3,000 people betting on the Sword Immortal Ye Gucheng to win this time, and the amount reaches about 50,000 taels of silver."
…
"Fifty thousand taels! These Jianghu people are really rich!"
Bai Zhantang said dumbly.
I only have less than one tael of silver a month, but these people only bet fifty thousand taels.
On average, it's basically more than a dozen taels of silver per person.
Yao Yue frowned and asked:
"With so many people betting on Ye Gucheng, can it be said that Ye Gucheng is better than Ximen Chuixue? But isn't it rumored in the world that the two of them are on par?"
Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue had never competed before, and people in the world only judged them based on their past competitions.
However, according to the comparison of previous wins and losses, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are completely equal.
No one is sure who will win and who will lose.
Chen Yipin said:
"Jianghu Daily analyzed it and said that it is because Ye Gucheng has developed a new sword move called: Flying Immortal from Heaven. Therefore, it is normal for everyone to bet on Ye Gucheng to win."
Chen Yipin pointed to the description in Jianghu Daily.
Yaoyue and Bai Zhantang looked over.
Sure enough, it does say it above.
"Then wouldn't it be true that Ximen Chuixue was defeated by Ye Gucheng later?"
Bai Zhantang asked.
"Not necessarily."
Chen Yipin smiled.
Bai Zhantang: "???"
…
"When it was time for the competition, just when everyone was expecting Ye Gucheng to appear, Ye Gucheng appeared."
"While everyone was looking forward to it, suddenly many Jianghu people fell to the ground."
"The Jianghu Daily informant didn't pay attention. He just looked at it with confusion and then set his sights on the top of the Forbidden City."
"At this moment, the competition begins!"
"Originally I thought it was an unprecedented competition. However, after Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue passed ten moves, Ye Gucheng's sword was pierced by Ximen Chuixue's chest."
"Under the Forbidden City, there is also chaos."
"Many Jianghu people were assassinated..."
Later, Jianghu Daily described what happened last night.
On the whole, many people in the world suddenly started fighting each other.
At each of the major city gates, there are also men in black who want to break through the gates and come in.
…
"It turns out that all this is Ye Gucheng's plan."
"Ye Gucheng used this competition to overthrow the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
"However, the Ming Dynasty had six gates, Hulong Villa, Jinyiwei, and two factories in the east and west."
…
"Ye Gucheng used his trick of flying immortals from the sky."
"A sword coming from the west will bring forth immortals from the sky."
"The silver sword in Ye Gucheng's hand turned into a flying rainbow and stabbed Ximen Chuixue."
"This sword seems to be a human-sword fusion."
"However... the people in the world at this time have no intention of watching this grand competition."
"Just when Jianghu Daily's informant thought Ximen Chuixue was about to lose to Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuixue's sword moved."
"There are no fancy moves, just one move."
"One move pierced the throat of the real Ye Gucheng."
…
Seeing this, Bai Zhantang sighed.
"Hey... I knew it would be like this."
Chen Yipin and Yaoyue looked over.
Bai Zhantang noticed the gazes of the two people, coughed, and explained:
"I mean, I knew Ximen Chuixue would win. I bet three taels of silver that Ximen Chuixue would win!"
Chen Yipin: "..."
"Ahem, Ye Gucheng is really brave, he actually rebelled!"
"Aren't you afraid of revenge when you kill so many Jianghu people?"
Bai Zhantang quickly changed the topic again.
Chen Yipin shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Everyone is dead, why are you afraid of revenge?"
Bai Zhantang thought about it and found that this was indeed the case.
If Ye Gucheng dies, he will definitely not be able to keep him in Baiyun City.
Even if those Jianghu people want to retaliate, there is no way to do so.
…
"In the end, under the influence of several masters and the strange pigeon, the mysterious masked man invited by Ye Gucheng was also killed."
"Jianghu Daily reported on August 16th."
…
After reading Jianghu Daily, Chen Yipin drank up the tea Bai Zhantang made.
Bai Zhantang continued busy with his own affairs.
Fortunately, Tong Xiangyu is not in the store today. If he sees Bai Zhantang not working and reading Jianghu Daily with Chen Yipin, he might be nagging him again.
"let's go."
Chen Yipin took Yaoyue's hand and left Tongfu Inn.
As soon as they left, someone in another corner of the inn glanced at them, then closed his eyes and drank tea leisurely.
"What's wrong?"
On the way back to the manor, Yao Yue asked doubtfully.
After coming out of Tongfu Inn, Chen Yipin frowned, as if he was worried.
"I always feel like something is wrong."
Chen Yipin said slowly.
"Something's wrong?"
Yaoyue's face was full of doubts.
After saying that, he looked around cautiously. Seeing that he didn't find anything unusual, he asked:
