The scene had been silent for a long time, and Lu Xiaofeng was the first to break the depression.
He looked at the swordsman in simple green clothes in front of him and said in surprise: "Xu Yin?! Why you?!!"
Xu Yin smiled and took off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.
In the past seven years, although his appearance has changed a lot, the foundation remains.
Therefore, Ximen Chuixue recognized it immediately. His mind was shaken and he could not keep calm.
"Xu Changqing?!"
The Mu Taoist and the honest monk behind him couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.
The name Xu Changqing may not be well known, but to Lu Xiaofeng's friends, they are no strangers.
Ximen Chuixue came out of the mountain with a sword at the age of fourteen and became famous in the world.
But before he was fourteen, he was always suppressed by a peer.
If nothing happened to this person of the same age, would there be three divine swords in the world today that would be famous throughout the ages?
This was what Lu Xiaofeng imagined when she had a private chat with them, but she didn't expect to see it with her own eyes today!
As expected, that peer was not dead, and his terrifying talent was not buried, becoming another divine sword that could rival or even surpass the two of them!
"Xu Changqing is dead. My name is Xu Yin. Your swordsmanship really surprises me, but this is not your strongest sword."
Ximen Chuixue frowned and said nothing. If a god had feelings, he would no longer be a god, and his sword would not be the sword of the Sword God.
"You are no match for Ye Gucheng." Xu Yin said calmly.
Lu Xiaofeng took a step forward and said, "Why didn't you stab me just now?"
Xu Yin said: "People like Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng pursue death all their lives. But Lu Xiaofeng is different. He is a lively and interesting person who should not die in a place like this."
"What did you do to His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty is fine, as long as you don't rebel."
Lu Xiaofeng took a step forward, and a sword energy slashed at his feet.
Xu Yin said to the lieutenant: "Your Majesty does not want anyone to disturb you until the Gyeonggi garrison enters the city at dawn. Do you understand?"
The lieutenant general received support, and even the pockmarks on his face shone brightly.
He said sharply: "Never let anyone threaten His Majesty's safety! Everyone, stay safe!"
These guards were very tactically literate, occupying the commanding heights and setting up continuous crossbows and muskets.
With such a weapon, even the masters in the arena would find it absolutely difficult to withstand the concentrated fire.
The imperial guards brought by Wei Ziyun were at a loss as to whether they really wanted to fight with their former colleagues. Everyone looked at Wei Ziyun with doubt in their eyes.
Wei Ziyun had fallen into a state of fear, and everyone could only watch Xu Yin enter the palace with a smile on his face.
At this time, the sword in Ye Gucheng's hand was already pointing at the emperor.
"I will not kill an unarmed person, please hold a sword, Your Majesty!"
The emperor laughed and said, "It's a pity that you have a sword in your hand but no sword in your heart."
"Without a sword in your heart?"
"The sword is straight and the sword is strong. How can a person with an evil heart hide a sword in his chest?"
The sword in Ye Gucheng's hand actually trembled slightly, and his heart was confused.
"It is enough for me to have this sword in my hand at this time. The sword in my hand can hurt others, but the sword in my heart can only hurt myself."
The emperor laughed.
Ye Gucheng said: "Pull out your sword."
The emperor said: "I don't have a sword in my hand."
Shi Gucheng said: "You don't dare to challenge?"
The emperor smiled and said: "What I practice is the sword of the emperor. It can bring peace to the world and protect all the people. I can plan within the strategy and win a victory thousands of miles away! Using my body as a sword and splattering blood after five steps is something that the emperor will not take."
He stared at Ye Gucheng and slowly continued: "You must not understand what I mean."
Veins bulged on Ye Gucheng's hands, and sweat was forming on the tip of his nose.
Liu Tong said anxiously: "If you don't kill him, he will kill you!"
Prince Nan Wang was already dissatisfied with Ye Gucheng, or he was already dissatisfied before this conspiracy, but at this time he said: "He will definitely take action. The Lord of Baiyun City has always been unkind to women."
Ye Gucheng looked at the sword in his hand and said, "I don't kill defenseless people, but I have to make an exception today!"
Then he looked at the emperor and said: "Besides, although you don't have a sword in your hand, you have a sword in your heart! The sword in your hand can hurt others, but the sword in your heart will hurt yourself."
The sword in his hand moved!
Then the roof suddenly opened, and a man fell with two swords, attacking Ye Gucheng's head!
This man is sharp and sophisticated with his sword, and his sword intent is sharp. He is an extremely rare master!
However, masters of this level were not taken seriously by Ye Gucheng.
With just one thrust of the sword from bottom to top, the man's swords were already out of his hands, and he fell in front of the emperor.
She was so agile that she immediately bounced up after falling to the ground, with her back to the emperor and her face to Ye Gucheng.
"No one can harm Your Majesty!"
The prince frowned and said, "Who are you?"
The visitor was wearing ordinary palace maid clothes and had a beautiful appearance. She was none other than Gongsun Auntie who had sneaked into the palace.
Ye Gucheng said: "This is Aunt Gongsun."
The prince was shocked at first, then angry, and shouted: "Xu Yin! Didn't I ask you to kill this person! Why is she still alive?!"
"Not only is she still alive, but she can also enter the palace and stand in front of the emperor to protect him to the death."
Cynical laughter came from outside the room, and Xu Yin pushed the door open. After entering, he closed the door again and walked in casually.
Under the candlelight, everyone saw his face.
The prince and Ye Gucheng frowned at the same time, and Ye Gucheng asked: "Who are you?!"
Very few people have seen Xu Yin's true face.
"Father Xu Hanjiang!" Xu Yin walked up to the emperor, his smile faded, and he looked directly at the emperor.
The prince snorted coldly: "It turns out that Xu Changqing, you have never shown your true face to others. Now your enemy is right in front of you. With just one sword, you can avenge your entire family of fourteen. I have never broken my trust in you!"
The emperor looked at Xu Yin and said, "So you are the son of Xu Hanjiang, the prefect of Suzhou."
"Today Xu is going to represent the dead souls of a family of fourteen, so I would like to ask Your Majesty the truth about what happened back then."
The emperor smiled and said: "I see, it seems that you already know a lot of things. But since I killed all those who were directly involved, I just don't want this matter to spread to the world."
Xu held his sword and said: "Although Xu does not recommend staining the sword with innocent blood on the road to revenge, he does not want to see the real culprit go unpunished. Your Majesty, if you don't tell me, Xu will not be afraid to bear the crime of regicide."
Of."
Aunt Gongsun suddenly turned around, knelt on the ground and begged the emperor, "Your Majesty, you definitely did not instruct Qingyi House to kill all the Xu family members, why did you hide the clues to the real murderer?!"
The emperor saw Aunt Gongsun's face clearly and said, "It turns out to be you!"
"Your Majesty, I am your secret guard for one day and I will be your secret guard for life!"
"I have given you freedom, why not cherish it."
The emperor shook his head, looked at Xu Yin, and said, "I can tell you what happened back then, but I can only tell you one person."
Xu Yin nodded and turned to look at the prince, Ye Gucheng and Liu Tong.
"Everyone, Xu has something to ask His Majesty, so please go out and avoid it."
