In the end, Xue Bing did not go north with Xu Yin, and her words that day were just to anger Lu Xiaofeng.
If a woman changes her heart so easily, she will easily become a plaything in the hands of men. Obviously Xue Bing is not such a woman.
Before reaching the capital, Xu Yin heard a lot of news about the duel between the Sword God and the Sword Immortal.
After August 15th, the duel between the two men did not go on as scheduled, which greatly disappointed many people who went to Purple Mountain.
The duel was canceled for unknown reasons and postponed to September 15th.
Today is September 12th, and there are thousands of black and white figures in the capital city.
The people in the Six Gates of the Capital, Jin Yiwei, and the East and West Factory were nervous and tried their best to maintain seemingly good public order.
However, the daily conflicts and bloodshed cannot be stopped. Most of the bloodshed occurred because of the gambling game between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng.
The duel between these two people was originally the most sacred thing between the two top swordsmen. After adding various high-stakes bets in the secular world, this sacredness was covered with thick dust.
Even so, Xu Yin, as a layman, is still very curious about gambling games everywhere.
Nowadays, the odds against Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng at various stalls have reached two to one or three to one.
Just because the postponement of the duel was initiated by Ximen Chuixue, and since August 15th, no one has seen any trace of Ximen Chuixue in the world.
Everyone in the Jianghu thought that Ximen Chuixue must be afraid of Ye Gucheng and must have been hiding and not daring to show his face.
Therefore, more and more people are buying Ye Gucheng to win, and those who are buying Ximen Chuixue to win are becoming increasingly angry, and they are looking for traces of him in every street corner and alley in the capital.
Xu Yin also made a big bet. He had more than 1,500 taels of silver, of which one thousand taels had been converted into silver notes. He bought all the one thousand taels for Ximen Chuixue to win, and he could earn some money.
After doing this, Xu Yin suddenly saw the code left by Ye Gucheng at the agreed contact point.
He recalled that the Crown Prince had given him two tasks. One was to assist Ye Gucheng and follow his instructions.
The other... is to kill Aunt Gongsun!
Xu Yin initially thought that he would let him disguise himself as Ye Gucheng's substitute and fight Ximen Chuixue.
Maybe because Xu Yin's temperament was too different from Ye Gucheng's, and he was worried about being recognized by Ximen Chuixue, so he chose someone else.
Xu Yin followed the coded instructions and bought a book in a bookstore. This was a miscellany, not famous, but it recorded the customs and customs of various places.
The book is printed normally, but if you use the numbers provided in the code, you can easily piece together a paragraph.
This was a message from Ye Gucheng, who asked Xu Yin to go to Zhangjiakou to act in a play with him.
Xu Yin changed his disguise again. He was disguised as an ordinary person in the world, but he had a special hairpin on his bun so that he could be identified by Ye Gucheng.
He had just arrived in Zhangjiakou when someone bumped into his shoulder. Then a bamboo whistle appeared in his hand and he heard a sentence.
"When Ye Gucheng appears, you will naturally understand the time to blow it."
"You trust me so much? What if it's too early or too late?"
"His Royal Highness, you can never mistake someone." The mysterious man wore a bamboo hat and couldn't see his face clearly. After speaking, he hurried away.
Since he didn't know the original plot of this section, Xu Yin didn't know what kind of plot development would follow, so he accepted the bamboo flute and drank tea in the teahouse next to the stone bridge.
At this time, there was a noise on the stone bridge. Xu Yin turned around and saw that Ye Gucheng appeared alone!
He was still dressed in white and looked refined, but at this time he seemed to be in conflict with others.
Xu Yin walked over and saw clearly that the person arguing with Ye Gucheng turned out to be Tang Tianyi, the eldest son of the Tang clan.
Tang Tianyi accused Ye Gucheng of molesting his wife. This was both absurd and ridiculous. Ye Gucheng was so aloof and arrogant that it was impossible to ignore him.
Tang Tianyi stopped the other party like a scoundrel. Since his words didn't make sense, of course he had no choice but to take action.
This man had fought with Xu Yin in Wuyang City. Xu Yin deliberately concealed his strength and was hit by the opponent's poisonous sand on his feet, but he easily restrained the opponent's life, forcing Tang Tianyi to hand over the antidote.
Xu Yin knew that there was not only one person like Tang Tianyi, but even ten of them would never be Ye Gucheng's opponent!
At this moment, he suddenly realized something and blew the bamboo flute gently.
The bamboo flute produced no sound, but Xu Yin, with his meticulous perception, could still feel that the invisible fluctuations coming from the bamboo flute seemed to wake up something in the dark.
Tang Tianyi is about to spill the poisonous sand, and Ye Gucheng's sword has been unsheathed. That flying immortal will definitely be able to kill Tang Tianyi before he spills the poisonous sand!
At this moment, a dark red venomous snake sprang out at extremely fast speed and bit Ye Gucheng!
Ye Gucheng was shocked and quickly dodged sideways. This move made him one breath slower than Tang Tianyi's throw of arsenic sand, which had already flown in front of him.
The flying immortal from outside the sky hurriedly thrust out, the sword light was extremely brilliant, like a rainbow across the sky!
In an instant, Tang Tianyi was hit by a sword in the chest and fell to the ground dead. Ye Gucheng's flawless white clothes were also soaked with a layer of black blood.
He returned the sword to its sheath, covered the wound and left in a hurry, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Xu Yin's brows furrowed even more as he watched this farce.
"Is this an act? Ye Gucheng was actually hit by the Tang Sect's arsenic sand. Although the poisonous sand is ineffective on himself, it is almost impossible to save a warrior who is not good at resisting poison! Why did Ye Gucheng do this?"
Then Xu Yin's eyes swept to the other side, where the dark red venomous snake disappeared.
Since there were not many martial arts people present, ordinary people could not see the sudden attack of the poisonous snake just now, so no one paid attention to what happened at that moment.
Even Xu Yin, if he had not known in advance and paid attention, would not have noticed that Ye Gucheng's original speed was affected by a snake before he drew his sword.
He didn't know where the snake had gone. Snakes are spiritual and must have a mysterious connection with the bamboo flute. He carefully put the bamboo flute on his body and turned around to leave.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a person out of the corner of his eye. He was a monk, a very honest-looking monk.
By the time Xu Yin returned to the inn, news of Ye Gucheng's injury had spread throughout the capital.
The odds of various gambling positions suddenly reversed!
Overnight, at least thirty people in the capital died because of this. Even the guardian of the Prince's Mansion in Xicheng, "Iron Palm Shaking the Heavens," was plotted in the back alley behind Iron Lion Alley because he also bet eight thousand taels of silver.
, buy Ximen Chuixuesheng.
And the bet of eight thousand taels of silver is enough to make some people take risks.
Xu Yin smiled secretly, "This is the so-called blessing and misfortune."
But immediately, he couldn't laugh anymore, because there was still a second task, to kill Aunt Gongsun.
