Chapter 87 Live or die? This is the question! For Tekapo
"Ye Gucheng, you can't leave today!"
The moment Ye Gucheng landed, Lin Nuo's figure suddenly arrived. He did not continue to attack, but instead surrounded the opponent with several other masters.
Ye Gucheng looked around with his sword in hand. Behind him, Lin Nuo was dressed in black armor and holding a black spear, like a door god, blocking his retreat.
Right in front, the old eunuch surnamed Chu, who had a rickety figure and seemed to die of old age on the spot in the next moment, had a faint smile on his face as dry as tree bark, like an elder looking at his naughty junior.
On his left side, Xiu'er was holding a cold iron sword. She didn't say anything, but her whole body exuded a powerful aura of swordsmanship. The sharp and unstoppable sword aura flashed with a silvery cold light at the tip of the sword. At first glance, she was not someone to be trifled with.
On the right side, there is a slovenly-looking middle-aged man with unkempt appearance and unkempt beard. He even has a riding crop around his waist. He seems to work as a groom.
This was the groom that Xiu'er found herself. He had accompanied Lin Nuo all the way to take the exam. Later, no matter how Lin Nuo's official position changed, he would always be the groom in his mansion.
This is also the first time Lin Nuo has seen this person take action, with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, the power is truly extraordinary, even Ye Gucheng does not dare to underestimate him!
Regarding this person's identity, Lin Nuo actually basically had the answer in his mind. However, Xiu'er had never made any intention to introduce him over the years, so Lin Nuo happily pretended to be confused and kept pretending not to know.
But now that the other party has taken action, that means he no longer intends to hide his identity. After Lin Nuo remained silent for a while, he stopped pretending to be confused.
Taking a step forward, Lin Nuo clasped his fists and bowed, bowing to the middle-aged man respectfully: "My son-in-law, Lin Nuo, meet my father-in-law!"
However, it was good that Lin Nuo didn't react before. With this salute, the middle-aged man who originally seemed a bit majestic suddenly became frightened. He waved his hand timidly and towards Lin Nuo.
Bowing repeatedly.
"Grand Governor, please don't hurt me. You are the stars in the sky and I am the mud on the ground. I cannot deserve your gift!"
Lin Nuo couldn't help but be startled. This style of painting was wrong. For a top master who was also his father-in-law, did he need to be so humble in front of his son-in-law?
Could it be that he is dissatisfied with his son-in-law?
Lin Nuo subconsciously looked at Xiu'er and found that Xiu'er also had a look of helplessness on her face. After feeling Lin Nuo's gaze, she couldn't help but blink.
With Lin Nuo's understanding of Xiu'er, he instantly understood what she wanted to express.
"Now you know why I have been reluctant to introduce his identity?"
Lin Nuo coughed dryly. Although he didn't know why Xiu'er's father reacted like this, it was his family matter after all. On this occasion, it was not the time to ask for the root cause.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Emperor Zhengde, who had a strong desire to express himself, walked over excitedly accompanied by Eunuch Chu Fang.
"Ye Gucheng, when I was still young, I grew up hearing your name!"
"When I was still the crown prince, I left the Forbidden City and wanted to take you as my disciple. Unfortunately, after traveling for more than half a month, I couldn't find any trace of you!"
"Really?" Ye Gucheng glanced at Zhu Houzhao with a complicated expression, and then shook his head, "Your qualifications are too poor. Even if you find me, you won't be able to become a disciple!"
Well!
Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly became a little uneasy.
He doesn't hit people in the face, he doesn't criticize people, he doesn't expose his shortcomings. Zhu Houzhao also knows that his talent in martial arts is not good, but being told so straightforwardly by a generation of martial arts legend still makes him feel a little embarrassed.
"Ye Gucheng, surrender, as long as you are willing to swear allegiance to me, I will forget about your past crimes of rebellion!"
Ye Gucheng's performance today, especially the flying immortal swordsmanship, really amazed Zhu Houzhao. He was really eager to recruit such masters.
Ye Gucheng didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Houzhao quietly.
"Aren't you known as the Lord of Baiyun City? As long as you are willing to submit to me and get Prince Ning's head for me, I will build a Baiyun City for you, so that your title of Lord of Baiyun City can be fully confirmed, how about that?"
Regarding the emperor's promise, Ye Gucheng's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end. After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he slowly turned around and stared at Lin Nuo unblinkingly.
"Your name is Lin Nuo, right? Commander of the Imperial Guards, Lin Nuo?"
Lin Nuo nodded and said nothing.
"You are very strong. If you are given another ten years, no one in this world will be your opponent, not even Ximen Chuixue!"
Ye Gucheng couldn't be clearer about Lin Nuo's potential.
Whether it's the endless internal strength, the insanely powerful physique, or the spear technique that can overcome strength with softness and follow him wherever he goes, just the same thing is enough to conquer the world.
What's more, Lin Nuo looks too young, that is, in his twenties. Youth, for a warrior, means endless potential!
In response to Ye Gucheng's compliment, Lin Nuo just smiled and did not reply.
For Lin Nuo, who wanted to gain good fortune and break through to the innate realm, being invincible in the world has never been his goal.
"Lin Nuo, if it were you and me, in today's mortal situation, would I choose to linger and grovel for hundreds of years, or would I choose to shine the most dazzlingly at the peak moment?"
Ye Gucheng's problem involves philosophy.
To put it more simply, in adversity, would you choose to live or die?
Everyone has their own opinions on this issue. If Lin Nuo was asked to choose, he would definitely choose Gou. After all, with the plug-in in hand, it is only a matter of time before he rises to the top of the world. Only a mentally retarded person would choose to waste time until death!
But since Ye Gucheng asked this question, it was obvious that he actually chose the latter.
For a top swordsman who has reached the end of his swordsmanship and is restricted by the world level and can no longer break through, life and death, they actually no longer care.
With Ye Gucheng's pride and dignity, it is simply unrealistic for him to choose to surrender and survive for the rest of his life!
In Lin Nuo's silence, Ye Gucheng took off his blue robe, revealing an exquisite white robe underneath.
"Actually, I prefer spotless white clothes to Tsing Yi. Every time I duel with someone, I like to wear white clothes. This is my respect for my opponent, Ye Gucheng!"
Having said this, a stiff smile appeared on Ye Gucheng's always indifferent face.
"On a full moon night, on the top of the Forbidden City, a sword comes from the west, and a fairy flies from the sky!"
"Tonight is a life-and-death battle between me, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue. I don't want to break the promise. Can the affairs between us wait until I finish the decisive battle before continuing?"
