After drinking morning tea, Lu Xiaofeng put down her tea cup and told her the story.
"What happened was that as soon as the three of us woke up that day, we received a letter from a flying pigeon."
"The content above is that Ye Gucheng asked Ximen Chuixue to have a sword fight on the top of the Forbidden City on a full moon night, which is the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Ximen Chuixue has long wanted to have a sword duel with Ye Gucheng."
"How could Jianximen Chuixue miss this competition? So, we left in a hurry that day."
After listening to Lu Xiaofeng's general explanation, Chen Yipin roughly understood the whole thing.
"Well, Ximen Chuixue will win this game."
Chen Yipin took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"You said Ximen...well, you said Ximen Chuixue would win?"
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Chen Yipin in confusion.
Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are both Lu Xiaofeng's friends, and Lu Xiaofeng also knows their strength.
However, when it comes to a real competition, Lu Xiaofeng is really not sure who will lose and who will win.
In his mind, the best outcome would be a tie between the two.
After all, this kind of competition not only distinguishes between superior and inferior, but also determines life and death.
If one of them wins, Lu Xiaofeng will lose a friend.
Therefore, what Lu Xiaofeng hopes most is for them to tie.
However, after hearing Chen Yipin say that Ximen Chuixue would win, Lu Xiaofeng felt uneasy.
In his heart, Chen Yipin was a more powerful being than a know-it-all in the world like Tianjilou.
Lu Xiaofeng believed what he said from his mouth.
Chen Yipin repeated what he just said again and said:
"I said Ximen Chuixue will win."
"Brother Chen, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are completely equal. How can you be sure that Ximen Chuixue will win?"
Lu Xiaofeng asked doubtfully.
Chen Yipin looked into Lu Xiaofeng's eyes and said with a smile:
"Don't you have any guesses in your mind?"
"I……"
Lu Xiaofeng closed her mouth.
When Chen Yipin said this, it seemed that his guess was correct.
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly became a little depressed and said:
"In other words, Ye Gucheng's sword fight is fake, but his rebellion is real, right?"
Before he came here, he suspected that this competition was not an ordinary competition.
Because all the signs are very strange.
Therefore, he, Lu Xiaofeng, had to doubt.
The first thing is that Ye Gucheng suddenly challenged Ximen Chuixue to compete with swords.
Since Ye Gucheng was competing for swords, why did he make the appointment on the night of the full moon, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival?
From the day I received the letter to today, there is still a full month before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Among them, there is a two-month gap starting from the day the letter is received.
What to do in two months?
Lu Xiaofeng knew what Ye Gucheng was like. If he really wanted to compete, he would never book such a long time?
Also, when Lu Xiaofeng went to see Ye Gucheng, she always felt that Ye Gucheng was weird.
Ye Gucheng is still the same Ye Gucheng, but the way he talks and moves is very unnatural.
When I talk to him, I don't talk like a friend at all.
The most important point is the location of the sword fight.
Why was it chosen at the top of the Forbidden City, the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden Palace?
That's the place closest to the emperor. If we compete with swords there, aren't we afraid of hurting the emperor?
Lu Xiaofeng launched investigations and conjectures about these doubts.
The results of the investigation ultimately pointed to Ye Gucheng planning to assassinate the current emperor, wanting to rebel and proclaim himself king.
He wasn't sure, nor could he believe it.
Then he hurried to Qixia Town day and night, wanting to ask Chen Yipin.
Chen Yipin nodded and said:
"That's right! In fact, you already have the answer in your heart, but as Ye Gucheng's good friend, you can't believe it yourself."
Chen Yipin sometimes really admires Lu Xiaofeng. Most of the friends this guy makes are people who have done all kinds of bad things.
I encountered several cases, and after finally investigating them, I found out that my friend was the bad guy.
For example, Ye Gucheng, Mu Taoren, Honest Monk, Jin Jiuling, Huo Xiu...
Lu Xiaofeng's expression became bitter, and after receiving Chen Yipin's answer, she felt even more uncomfortable.
"Is there any wine..."
Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"have!"
Chen Yipin understood Lu Xiaofeng's discomfort. After nodding, he waved his hand and a jar of wine and two bowls flew towards him.
Lu Xiaofeng was completely in no mood to care about this now. After Chen Yipin got the wine, he immediately poured a full bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Don't think so much, why not just be more open-minded?"
Chen Yipin said.
"Be more open-minded. How can I be open-minded? Ye Gucheng is my best friend. I...hey..."
Lu Xiaofeng took a sip of wine depressedly and said.
Chen Yipin moved his mouth, wanting to tell the story about Mu Taoist and Honest Monk, but he kept his mouth shut when Lu Xiaofeng looked like this.
"Brother Chen, come, let's drink together!"
"Okay, I'll drink with you today."
Chen Yipin poured himself a bowl, touched it with Lu Xiaofeng, and drank the wine in one gulp.
"What do you think I should do?"
After drinking several bowls in a row, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly asked.
"What should I do? Do you still want to persuade Ye Gucheng?"
Chen Yipin asked puzzledly.
Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said melancholy:
"Yeah... Anyway, it's still early before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I still have time to stop this sword fight."
"You don't know that just yesterday, the news about sword master Ye Gucheng and sword fairy Ximen Chuixue suddenly spread."
"People in the Ming Dynasty, and even people in the Tang Dynasty, Northern Song Dynasty, Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, and other dynasties all know about this matter."
"Many people also placed bets, some betting on Ximen Chuixue, some betting on Ye Gucheng, and some betting on a tie between them."
"Many people are preparing to rush to the capital to witness their competition."
"such a pity……"
Chen Yipin frowned and said:
"This matter has spread so widely. Ye Gucheng is not that capable yet. It should not be Ye Gucheng's doing."
Lu Xiaofeng said:
"It is true that it was not done by Ye Gucheng, but by Tianji Tower. They spread this matter throughout several dynasties."
Chen Yipin tapped his fingers lightly on the stone table, thinking about this matter.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything to disturb him and just drank by himself.
After a while, Chen Yipin said:
"What does Tianjilou want to do by doing this?"
"Who knows!"
Lu Xiaofeng shrugged her shoulders, expressing that she didn't know.
It's easy to check Ye Gucheng, but Lu Xiaofeng can't find it at all when checking Tianji Tower.
He had tried it before, but in the end he was warned by the people from Tianji Tower.
"By the way, there are things in this world that you don't know about?"
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Chen Yipin funny.
"You really think I know everything!"
Chen Yipin said angrily.
After saying that, he looked at Lu Xiaofeng seriously and said:
"Lu Xiaoji, you better pay attention. This matter is not just as simple as Ye Gucheng's rebellion. You'd better talk to Liumenmen when you go back."
